"25,000!" The boss said with a smile.
Li Du also smiled. "You really know how to do business. Deal."
This piece of imperial green might be worth 250 million!
It was the first time Li Du had come across an imperial jade, and it was of the highest quality. The stone was translucent, crystal clear, dark green in color, and there were green threads floating in it. It was definitely a top-notch jade that was hard to find even in a few years.
Other than this piece of imperial green, the rest of the stones did not have much value. He was in a good mood, so he instructed Da Mao to buy two pieces.
When he was in a good mood, he had a good appetite. Li Du enjoyed his lunch. Of course, this had something to do with the fact that the stewed chicken and roasted lamb tasted good. After all, they were farmed.
During the meal, Li Du asked the owner where he got the stones from, but the owner refused to tell him. Even when Li Du offered him 10,000 dollars, he would not say anything.
Zhong Da Pao held the hookah in his mouth and said lazily, "It's useless, Young Master Li. He won't say anything. Not even a million dollars, let alone ten thousand dollars."
Liu Zi continued to play the role of a sidekick. "Yes, he definitely won't say that these stones were picked up from the waste yard. For them, the waste yard is a treasure trove. Why would he tell others about it?"
Not long after he finished speaking, the lady boss came up and asked in Burmese what Li Du wanted to buy with the money. Liu Zi translated for her.
The lady boss stretched out her palm and said a few more words. Liu Zi was stunned. He turned to Li Du and said, "Master Li, she said 50,000 dollars. If you pay 50,000 dollars, she will tell you where the stone came from."
Li Du nodded. "No problem. Give her fifty thousand dollars."
When the lady boss saw the money, she beamed with joy and told him the name of a place. The boss squatted at the side with a gloomy face and puffed on his hookah.
Liu Zi handed the money to her, shook his head and said to Li Du, "It's just a junkyard. This 50,000 dollars is wasted. Let's go to the junkyard and look."
Li Du drank the last bit of chicken soup in his bowl and laughed. "There are so many junkyards, how are we going to find them? Right now, time is money, and it's a huge amount of US dollars. We can't afford to waste it. Let's go! "
Godzilla threw the bones of the roasted lamb leg to the dogs in the yard, and the two Black Backs immediately rushed forward to fight for it.
Liu Zi knew where the waste site was. They rode the motorcycle all the way and finally arrived here.
The junkyard was usually next to the entrance of the field. It was a convenient place to dump the waste stones. No one knew how many stones were piled up here. Many women and disabled people rolled and crawled in it.
Li Du said, "Is digging for jade so dangerous? There are too many disabled people here. "
Zhong Da Pao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What did our ancestors say? There are three hardships in life: rowing a boat, striking iron, grinding tofu. Burmese people have one of the hardships, mining ore. You never know when a rock will crush your arm or leg. That's why they enjoy life when they have money. "
The disabled were not the vulnerable group here. When they saw Li Du and the others, they immediately got up and came over in groups. "Hey, what are you guys doing?"
Li Du was interested in the imperial green stone here and wanted to try his luck. He was not interested in ordinary jade.
The reason why he hadn't come to the junkyard before was that he knew that the efficiency of finding jade there was very low. It was better to spend some money to buy some leftover jade in the market.
This time, he was provoked by the imperial green stone. That was why he was willing to come here.
Zhong Da Pao saluted the crowd and said, "Brothers and sisters, I am Zhong Da Pao from the Chinese Village. We are here to take a look, not to steal your business."
A man who had lost his right arm at the elbow said cautiously, "You guys are not here to pick up stones?"
Li Du shook his head. "Don't worry, it's my first time here. I'm just here to take a look."
The disabled people and the women relaxed and gradually left.
Finally, someone said to Zhong Da Pao, "Master Pao, we all know of your reputation. We also know that you are a righteous person. I hope you can keep your promise. You see, we are a bunch of disabled people. We rely on this place to make a living. You can't come and steal our jobs."
Liu Zi waved his hand impatiently. "Go, go, go. Master Pao is a man of his word. If I say I'm not here to steal your jobs, then I'm not. Get lost!"
The lady boss had given them an area in the junkyard. She said that the couple usually looked for stones here.
Li Du walked over. A man with a broken leg was looking for stones in that area. He stared at him angrily and nervously.
The little bug flew around the area quickly but found nothing. 99.9% of the stones thrown away at the entrance of the junkyard had been determined to be useless before being thrown away.
After wasting a lot of effort, he did not even find a normal piece of jade of any value, let alone imperial jade!
Da Mao was also looking. He came back and shook his head dejectedly. "No, no, there's nothing here, boss. Staying here is a waste of time and energy!"
The man who was glaring at them could understand Chinese. He asked, "What are you looking for?"
Zhong Da Pao did not answer. Instead, he took out his phone and showed it to him. He said, "Who usually comes here to look for things? These two people, this couple, do you have any impression of them? "
The disabled man looked at the phone carefully and looked up. "You are looking for people? I am not familiar with these two people. They have never come here before. "
Zhong Da Pao went to ask a few people around him. When he came back, he kicked the rock and cursed, "F * ck, Young Master Li, we have definitely been fooled!"
Li Du understood what he meant. "They all said they have never seen these two people before?"
Zhong Da Pao nodded. "Yes, I know one of the guys here. He would not lie to me. Then it must be that old woman lying. She extorted 50,000 dollars from you! "
The impulsive Liu Zi said angrily, "D * mn, how dare she! Let's go back and get her!"
Li Du waved his hand. "Forget it, it's not that interesting. Just treat it as paying tuition fees for a lesson."
After all, he had gotten his first piece of imperial jade from the farmer couple. He had asked for it. He should have felt the deep malice of the locals.
They did not find anything in the junkyard. They left for the next one.
In one day, they wandered around Damakan and visited dozens of big and small junkyards.
Some people noticed them, especially when they recognized Da Mao. They chased after them, wanting to take Da Mao away.
There were also people following behind them, trying to get closer to them for information.
"Brother Mao, brothers, please do us a favor. We are all Chinese. Let me take a look at these stones. Help us."
"How cold. Blood is thicker than water. F * ck!"
"Why are you pretending to be cold? I don't believe that you won't make a mistake. Buy it, buy it. Sooner or later, you will buy some f * cking junk! "
Li Du had heard many similar words. Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi had wanted to beat them up when they heard them, but after hearing so many times, they were too lazy to be angry.
