"Not yet. Is there a cheaper card for temporary use?" Yang Ming asked, "We might not be able to stay here for long!"
"Then let's get the Shenzhou Express Card. It's anonymous and doesn't cost a month. You can use it by topping it up!" The salesperson introduced, "It's twenty cents to make a call. It's free to pick up the phone. Long distance calls are thirty cents for 12593." (Old Yu didn't know the local rates, so he said it randomly.)
"Okay, I'll take this one." Yang Ming nodded. He felt that it was a good deal.
"The card number is thirty. The top-up card is a hundred. The total is one hundred and thirty yuan." The salesperson said, "This is the number list. You can choose your number! As long as it doesn't have asterisks or triangles, it's fine. The ones with asterisks are lucky numbers. You have to pay extra. But if you're using it temporarily, it's not necessary! "
Yang Ming randomly chose a card that was easier to say. The ending was 3401. Lan Ling's was 3402. There was no need to wait for the Shenzhou Express Card. It could be used immediately after topping up. After testing it, it could be used to make calls. Yang Ming paid directly.
Because the SIM card didn't have any problems with the Three Guarantees, there was no need to issue a receipt. He could just pay directly.
Yang Ming took out the warranty card and accessories and put them into Lan Ling's bag. He threw away the box directly. Although these things could be sold as second-hand in the future, Yang Ming didn't expect to sell a phone that cost more than two hundred yuan.
After leaving, Yang Ming called Zhang Bin.
"Hello? Who is this? "Zhang Bin looked at the unfamiliar number and asked curiously.
"Hello, this is Hong Kong's Da Bin Group. Your phone number won the second prize …" Yang Ming said seriously.
"F * ck off, I don't believe it! If you call again, I'll call the police … En? Yang Ming? "Zhang Bin suddenly felt that the other party's voice was familiar." F * ck, why is it you? "
"Ha, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction. Could it be that you've been fooled before?" Yang Ming laughed.
"Only a fool would be fooled!" Zhang Bin said, "Since I got my phone, I've received more than ten of these harassing calls!"
"This is my phone number. I just bought it. Call me if you need anything!" Yang Ming said.
"Okay, where are you?" Zhang Bin.
"I'm going to the bookstore!" Yang Ming said, "Why? Is there anything wrong?"
"Nothing." Zhang Bin's order.......................................
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming asked Lan Ling, "Do you know where the nearest bookstore is?"
...........................
"Yes, I want to buy a few books about jade." Yang Ming didn't hide anything from Lan Ling.
...................................... Oh yeah, Yang Ming, you haven't told me what happened this morning! When I got back to the hotel, I was so focused on doing it with you that I forgot to ask! "
"Who asked you to have a mind full of dirty thoughts? You're a little horny woman! "Yang Ming patted Lan Ling's butt and said.
"I'm just thinking about it. If you don't want to, I can't do anything about it! If you don't get hard, I can't do anything to you even if I die of exhaustion! "Lan Ling whispered in Yang Ming's ear.
Damn! Isn't this seduction?
Lan Ling found out Yang Ming's inappropriateness easily. She said, "Look, I don't know who's the one with a mind full of dirty thoughts. They were thinking about it on the street!"
"See how I'm going to punish you tonight!" Yang Ming glared at Lan Ling.
"Welcome, welcome. Welcome!" Lan Ling jumped up and down like a child. She had a happy expression.
Yang Ming was helpless. He had to change the topic. "What happened this morning?"
"When you were gambling in the morning, how did you know the quality of the jade inside the stone? This should be the first time you encountered it, right? "Lan Ling asked curiously." Do you have the same intuition as me? "
"No, I'm a lucky person!" Yang Ming hadn't decided whether to tell Lan Ling about his ability. After all, this wasn't a small matter!
"Forget it if you don't want to tell me!" Lan Ling pouted. She didn't look happy.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but my situation is special. It's not easy to describe!" Yang Ming found an excuse for himself. What happened to Yang Ming was weird, but it wasn't indescribable. It was just more troublesome to explain.
"Alright!" Lan Ling let go of Yang Ming. However, she didn't take it to heart. After a while, she forgot about it.
Because of Tengchong's geographical location and trade, Xinhua Bookstore had a lot of books about jade. Here, jade was like a culture. As a citizen of Tengchong, if he didn't know anything about jade, he would be ashamed!
According to the sign at the door, Yang Ming and Lan Ling easily found the counter for jade books. There were a few readers standing here. One of them looked like a scholar. He was about fifty years old.
Looking at the dazzling array of books, Yang Ming had a headache. He had this feeling when he bought the lip-reading materials. Now that the living standards of the people were high, and the spiritual culture was rich. But correspondingly, there were more cultural products to make up the numbers.
If it was a prose, novel, comic, or children's book, it wouldn't matter if you bragged a little. But if it was an academic book, it would be wrong to make up nonsense!
Now, there were a lot of "professional" books. If it was a book that was pieced together, it wouldn't matter. You couldn't learn anything after reading it, but you couldn't learn anything bad. He was afraid that those who pretended to know nonsense would write books full of fallacies. Wouldn't that lead people astray?
Yang Ming was confused after flipping through a few books. Every person had a different point of view. Every author had a different understanding of jade. It could be said that they were poles apart. How could they read this book?
Lan Ling's ability to recognize jade was based on her feelings. She didn't know anything about jade.
"What's wrong, young man? Why are you frowning?" The old man who stood beside Yang Ming suddenly asked.
"Old man, I want to study jade, but I don't know what kind of books to read!" Yang Ming saw that he had been looking for books for a long time. He wanted to give it a try. "But I realized that many books have different points of view. I don't know what to do!"
"Hehe! So it's because of this! "The old man laughed." What's there to worry about? What you're talking about are mostly appreciation books. Many of these books are written by collectors. Everyone has different interests, hobbies, and tastes. Naturally, the views written by them will be different! "
"But the value of jade, isn't it up to the collectors to decide?" Yang Ming was confused.
"Not entirely! To a certain extent, their words can be used as a reference to evaluate the value of a piece of jade. But it's not entirely the case! " As he spoke, the old man took out a book titled "Hetian Jade Appreciation" from the bookshelf. He flipped to a page and pointed at the picture. "Take these two jade bracelets for example! Look carefully. The materials used for these two bracelets are almost the same. Look here, there is a quality evaluation report! "
Yang Ming took a look. Sure enough, the quality of the two bracelets was almost the same. But the evaluation price differed by more than two million!
"Do you see? Do you want to know why this connoisseur praised one bracelet but didn't mention the other? "The old man asked.
Yang Ming shook his head. How would he know? If he knew, he wouldn't be troubled!
"Hehe, young man, the quality of the jade is important, but the person who carved it is also important! These two jade bracelets have different carving techniques. Look carefully. The one that is highly evaluated is very delicate, but the other is very rough! "The old man explained.
"Ah! So that's why! "Yang Ming was enlightened! Just now, he only paid attention to the difference in the quality of the jade. He didn't pay attention to the carving technique. "I was wondering why the price difference between the same quality of jade was so big!"
"Yes, the carver of this bracelet might be a novice. To put it bluntly, this piece of jade was blinded by him!" The old man shook his head regretfully.
"I understand now!" Yang Ming nodded. "Then, old man, what book do you think a novice like me should read?"
"If you are interested in jade, you can start learning from the quality of the jade. For example, this book is more suitable for you!" The old man took out a book with an ugly cover from the corner of the bookshelf and passed it to Yang Ming.
