Li Rui understood and continued, "So the luminous pearl in the ancient legend should be the phosphorescent fluorite?" Factory Manager Zhang nodded, "Yes, but the phosphorescent fluorite is very rare and precious. That's why there are very few luminous pearls in the world. There are many profiteers who carve the luminous pearls from the common fluorite and sell them to the rich who don't know the value of the pearls. Those people are just rich, but they don't know anything about it. They think it's real when they see the luminous pearls, so they spend a lot of money to buy them. Two years ago, in our provincial capital, a profiteer came to me and bought a piece of common fluorite. He found a craftsman in a jade shop and turned it into a luminous pearl. He sold it to a nouveau riche boss and made more than 300,000 yuan. But in fact, the cost was only a few hundred yuan. "
Li Rui and Gao Zixuan looked at each other and were shocked.
Li Rui smiled, "It's so easy to make money." Factory Manager Zhang said, "Why did I tell you this? I want to help you figure out your own needs. Do you want to make a luminous pearl for fun or a real luminous pearl? Judging from your stylish attire, I don't think you're ordinary people. You probably want to get a real luminous pearl, right? Then buy the phosphorescent fluorite from me. "Li Rui said," En, we're here for the real luminous pearl. " Factory Manager Zhang said, "You must have understood what I said just now. The phosphorescent fluorite is very rare and precious, so the price is higher than the common fluorite." Li Rui asked, "What's the price?" Factory Manager Zhang said, "Common fluorite is 1,200 yuan per ton. This special fluorite can only be bought for 1,200 yuan per kilogram. Are you sure you want to buy it? If you are sure, I'll take you to check the goods. "
Li Rui nodded without stuttering. Why did they come here this time? Wasn't it just for the raw gemstone?
In a sealed warehouse deep inside the factory, Li Rui and the other two saw a pile of special fluorite ores in the deepest corner of the warehouse. It was the kind of fluorite that could emit phosphorescent light. Outside this pile of ores, there were piles of common fluorite ores.
Factory Manager Zhang introduced, "Look, this pile in the corner is the phosphorescent fluorite ores. See, this pile of green and white stones is the phosphorescent fluorite ores. Look around. It's dark, right? There's no external light source, but it can still light itself. This is the real luminous pearl. Look at the piles of common fluorite ores outside. They don't light, right? Because there is no external light source. Now, I'll use the flashlight to illuminate it before you look. " While speaking, he turned on the flashlight and flashed it a few times at a pile of ordinary fluorite ores. Then he turned off the flashlight and said, "Look again, isn't there light? The longer, the longer the light, the brighter it is. the light. Without an external source of light for a long time, it would not light up. This is the luminous watch watch... "
Li Rui sighed in admiration and nodded repeatedly. There was no place in life that one could not learn from.
According to Li Rui's request, Factory Manager Zhang found two ores suitable for carving from the phosphorescent fluorite ores and took the three people out of the warehouse.
Outside, Li Rui held the two raw stones against the sun and found that one of them was not very pure. There were many lotus-colored stone crystals inside. The other one was much better. In terms of texture and color, it was very similar to the tortoiseshell. After exchanging glances with Gao Zixuan, he asked for this one.
After weighing, weighing, haggling, and paying the bill, the three of them finally got the raw stone after spending a little over a thousand RMB.
Before leaving, Factory Manager Zhang kindly reminded Li Rui, "All the minerals in nature that can shine have radiation, and the intensity of the radiation is not low. So, you should pay attention to keeping a distance from the fluorite, and don't carry it with you for a long time. "
Li Rui thanked him for the reminder. Factory Manager Zhang gave them the business card of a jade workshop. The three people drove to the jade workshop.
When they arrived at the workshop, Li Rui took the raw stone and explained the basic requirements to the boss.
The boss was a fat man in his forties. His face was fat, and his eyes were small. He was not handsome, but he had the cunning and greed of a businessman. When he saw that the three people came in a BMW, he asked for an exorbitant price, "Two thousand yuan, no bargaining!"
Li Rui shouted in surprise, "Two thousand yuan? Are you kidding me? Boss, our raw stone is only worth a thousand yuan. You want two thousand yuan from us? "The fat man said with a fake smile," You don't know how to do this! Do you know what the most expensive thing in a jade shop is? "Li Rui shook his head blankly. The fat man said proudly, "It's craftsmanship! How much can a raw stone be worth? Not to mention your broken fluorite, even the jadeite in the old pit in Myanmar is not worth much. It depends on the craftsmanship. "Li Rui said," But our requirements are not complicated. We don't need any complicated craftsmanship, right? Isn't it just cutting a round ball? " The fat man said coldly, "It's easy to say. We have tools here. Why don't you try cutting one yourself? I guarantee that you can cut as many as you want. "
Gao Zixuan was impatient to bargain and said, "Okay, two thousand yuan it is. You have to make a night-luminescent pearl for me." The fat man said, "That's right. This suits your status. You drive a BMW, and the parking fee is two thousand yuan a month. Why would you care about this small amount of money? " As he said that, he looked at Li Rui with disdain and said to Gao Zixuan, "Beauty, don't worry. Our craftsmanship is absolutely good. It's not like we haven't done this kind of work before. We did it beautifully. One of the night-luminescent pearls was bought by an American Chinese. He bought it for a hundred thousand USD. Hey, we made it. "Gao Zixuan said lightly," I don't care about other people's work. You have to do mine well. " The fat man said, "You don't have to tell me that. We have always adhered to the principle of customer service … Oh right, pay the deposit first."
After the three of them got into the car and left, a fashionable young woman came out from behind the counter. She patted the fat man's shoulder happily and said, "Hey, you met a rich guy again. I say, you really dared to ask for a price. You insisted on two thousand yuan for a two hundred yuan salary. They actually gave it to you. What a fool! " The fat man said proudly, "That's right. When I saw them driving a BMW, I said in my heart, 'Hey, grandson, this time I'm going to kill you.' I didn't expect them to obediently give in and didn't even pay me a cent. Haha." The young woman said coquettishly, "Husband, I saw a coat on the Internet and want to buy it. I just made so much money. You see …" The fat man pinched her plump butt and said casually, "Buy it!" He then said, "But you have to let me have some fun first. Hehe." As he said that, he pushed her into the inner room.
By the time Li Rui and the other two returned to the city, it was already dark. It wasn't that time passed quickly. It was because the three of them had wasted a lot of time running around. They shopped for two hours at the old goods market and spent an hour at the fluorite processing plant. In addition to the time spent on the road, four to five hours were quickly gone. However, although it was tiring, they had solved a big problem. It was worth being gratified.
The three of them found a restaurant in the city to eat dinner. When they sat in the restaurant, Lu Qingman went to the bathroom and let Li Rui and Gao Zixuan order the dishes.
Li Rui took advantage of her absence to whisper to Gao Zixuan, "You said this afternoon that if we could get the night-luminescent pearl using my method, you would reward me. How are you going to reward me? " Gao Zixuan glanced at him charmingly and said, "I've already recognized you as my husband. You still have the nerve to ask for a reward?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Then are you going to be my first wife or second wife?" Gao Zixuan leisurely drank a mouthful of tea. Her beautiful eyes looked around disdainfully and said leisurely, "Aren't they all the same size? Aren't they all your wives?" Li Rui was overjoyed when he heard this. He was so happy that even his eyelashes were blooming. Gao Zixuan said, "Just now, the boss of the workshop said that he could deliver the goods in three days. Then I'll ask the antique dealer from Beijing to come over next weekend. When the time comes, you have to hurry over and accompany me to meet him. You can be my bodyguard."
Li Rui calculated the time. Next weekend was the end of the month. It just so happened that the boss, Song Chaoyang, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, would be very busy around New Year's Day. He might not have time to come over. He said, "I don't dare promise you, but as long as I have time, I'll try my best to rush over." Gao Zixuan snorted and said, "No, whether you have time or not, you have to come over to accompany me. Otherwise, what if that antique dealer wants to harm me? When Big Sister Qingman was sick, you could rush over overnight to accompany her. When I encounter such a big problem, you have to come over to accompany me. Otherwise, it will be unfair and you won't have the face to be my husband. "Li Rui smiled slightly and looked at her with infatuation. He said," Can you not be so cute? I really love you to death. "Gao Zixuan's expression did not change. She kicked him under the table.
After dinner, Li Rui used the time he had to go to the bathroom to call Yao Xuefei. He told her that he was busy tonight and could not accompany her. He would make it up to her the next night. Yao Xuefei knew that the nature of his work was very special. She could only say that she understood. There was nothing she could do if she did not understand. The two of them agreed to spend the next night together.
According to the plan in the morning, after dinner, the three of them got in the car and rushed to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in the Heping District.
