Lu Ming

Chapter 8 Two Bosses
Then he dug out a bunch of information. Apart from those unreliable myths and stories, the useful one was just one sentence: the discovery of bloodstone began in the early Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River, and monks offered stones to the top. As we all know, all parties are sought after.

"There's a lot to do, a lot to do!" He thought and closed his notebook. His business has just started, and his stone plan is very important. Fortunately, Emperor Qianlong, the first speculator in ancient and modern times, has not yet come to power. This stone has not yet caught fire in the Ming Dynasty. Can get a lot.

"If I can sell the stones tomorrow, I'll buy some gifts for the ancients to bring to the ancients. The only way is to come and go." He climbed into bed while thinking about it. , fell asleep at once.

At nine o'clock in the morning, someone was smashed up from a dream, and Li Douzhan chased them up and cleaned up the house while cursing.As soon as Cao Chuan asked, it turned out that the boss was coming after the meeting, so he quickly got up and washed himself, and the two went out for breakfast.

During the meal, Cao Chuan thought again. Given the unknown situation at the moment, he hadn't figured out how to cover up his fortune, so he told Li Douzhan that it was best to ask for cash when he waited for the shipment.

It doesn't matter to Li Douzhan. The boss who is engaged in antiques is not always ready with a lot of cash. He patted his chest and expressed his reassurance that he would get it easily later.

The two had just returned, and the person receiving the goods had already entered the house.

The middle-aged man in his [-]s who walked in front was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes. He had a shrewd face.

The other was a thinner man in his 50s, with an ordinary face, a goatee, and a Tang suit, with two large walnuts in his hand, and walked in with a smile.

As soon as Jinsi entered the door and looked left and right, he pulled the chair unceremoniously and sat down, shaking his legs and said to Li Douzhan: "Little Li, seeing how big your battle is today, Shopkeeper Hu can invite you. What did you get from the countryside? It's a good thing, let's take it out, I can tell you, you have this little face, but it's worth my visit this time, if the things don't make sense, we won't be able to do it next time?"

Li Douzhan greeted the old man in Tang suit to sit down, and said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "Mr. Ma, see what you said, if we don't have any fun in our hands, how dare we bother you two, Xiao Li is so blind. Well, you two wait a moment, I'll get it now, let's see the goods and talk."

President Ma seemed to be satisfied with Li Douzhan's answer, but the old man turned the walnut in his hand and saw Cao Chuan standing beside him, and asked with a smile, "Little Li, who is this?"

Li Douzhan answered while opening the cabinet door, "A relative from my hometown hasn't entered the business yet. I have a stick, Mr. Hu, you don't need to pay any attention to him."

After listening, the old man nodded and said nothing.

Li Douzhan took out the wooden box, placed it lightly on the table in the living room, opened the lid, lifted the red silk, then stepped back and said, "You two can get started."

The two smiled and looked at each other, leaning over at the same time and looking into the wooden box on the table.

"Dang bang", the two walnuts in the hands of the shopkeeper Hu were shaken on the table by him, and the old man quickly took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, threw them away and put them on his hands.

Over there, Mr. Ma had already put his hand into the box. When he saw the old man taking out his gloves, he didn't know what word was sprayed in his mouth. He withdrew his hands like lightning, and took out a pair of white gloves from his trousers pocket, before he could put them on. Well, the old man has steadily lifted a seal from the box, walked to the window, and looked at it carefully.

Mr. Ma didn't move, just stood straight at the table, holding the other side of the stone, and looked closely as if in front of him.

Seeing this posture, Cao Chuan turned to look at Li Douzhan, Li Douzhan grinned, gave Cao Chuan a "wait for the news of my victory" and said nothing.

After a few minutes, the two bosses seemed to have negotiated well. One of them took out a magnifying glass and continued to look at the stone. It was the first time that Cao Chuan had encountered this scene. .

The room was silent until the two bosses finished reading and gently placed the stone in their hands on the table.

Cao Chuan thought that he was about to enter the exciting session of the money meeting. Who knew that the two of them were acting like pantomimes, making a gesture of invitation to each other. Then the old man nodded, slowly stretched out his hand, and picked up the piece that President Ma had just watched. One side of Yinshi went back to the window, and Mr. Ma did the same, changed another stone and continued to look.
Someone Cao rolled his eyes, and when he saw Li Douzhan, he was very proud. He looked at the two bosses, Jian Shi, without saying a word, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

Another ten minutes passed before the two treasure hunters put the stone back into the box.

After sitting down, Mr. Ma spoke first. This time, his tone was much calmer, and he was no longer arrogant when he first entered the door: "Xiao Li, this material is considered a gadget, so let's make a price."

Li Douzhan smiled slightly, didn't answer, and asked the old man directly: "Manager Hu, what's your opinion here?"

The old man Hu put on a pose at this meeting, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be open.

Li Douzhan smiled, walked to the table, gently took out two stones from the box, spread them side by side on the red silk, opened the box, and said loudly: "A pair of Dongdi Dahongpao Ming materials, the reserve price is 150 million, Cash is preferred, formalities are not included, two bosses, let's make a move?"

Cao Chuan, the poor ghost, really didn't expect these two stones to be so valuable. This is still the reserve price. It seems that it may be higher. He will be a little messy.

No one paid any attention to him, Mr. Ma rubbed his chin, glanced at Mr. Hu who was asleep, lay back, and said to Li Douzhan seemingly relaxed: "You are lucky today, Mr. Ma. It's my wedding anniversary. Xishun, I will give you one hundred thousand, 160 million, give me the box, and I will wrap the stones."

Li Douzhan responded with joy, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma." He bent down and gestured to hand over the wooden box in his hand.At this moment, Shopkeeper Hu opened his eyes wide, raised his hand, and Li Dou Zhan returned to his original position.

After old man Hu woke up, his eyes were sharp, he stared at President Ma, stretched out his fingers, "Add [-]."

Mr. Ma could no longer pretend to be relaxed, sat up and touched his chin with one hand and gestured with the other: "180 million."

The tug-of-war finally stopped at 220 million.

The old man Hu put his hands on the table and said earnestly: "Mr. Ma, you know that I specialize in gold and stone. I really like it. Besides, the price is not profitable, there is no formalities, and it is very risky. Today How does Lao Hu owe you a favor?"

Mr. Ma replied without a smile: "Who dares to carry old Hu's favor? Speaking of which, who doesn't like this kind of material? Otherwise, I, Ma Wei, have a little thanks to me today. You always go out now, and I will How about a [-]-carriage fee here immediately?"

With a bang, Lao Hu slammed the table: "240 million! You add more and I leave!"
