Baojian

Chapter 302 Robbery
Yangmei's jadeite rough trading scale is not large, and it may not be enough to meet the needs of local people, so it is generally not open to foreign merchants, which is the main reason why Yangmei's jadeite trading market is not well-known.

"Boss Huang, we are old friends, I can still help with this."

Although Li Yongqian lost more than 100 million betting on stones, he is also a celebrity in Yangmei, so it is natural for him to bring a few people to participate in the rough stone transaction. After hearing Huang Bingyu's words, he readily agreed.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Li!" Huang Bingyu held up his wine glass and toasted Li Yong, but just like Qin Feng, he didn't mention anything else.

"Boss Huang, I... I also have a request, I wonder if you can agree?"

Li Yongqian's Mandarin is not very good, and he is asking for help, this sentence is stuttering, and his face is flushed.

"Boss Li, please say something..." Huang Bingyu sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't escape after all.

"Yes... that's it."

Li Yongqian didn't look like a businessman, he said hesitantly: "Boss Huang, if you bet some good jade this time, can you let me process it?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yongqian is also the boss who drives a car. Although the car is just a van, a person who can drive a car is not a bad person, right?
But he knows his own affairs, and only Li Yonggan himself knows that he is really going to be unable to support himself. For more than two months, he has not received a single jade processing order from outside. Gone.

If he hadn't brought a few apprentices with him, Li Yongqian might have closed the factory a long time ago, and went to work as a craftsman in another processing factory with his own skills, so he would be able to live comfortably no matter what.

"Old Li, we brothers have known each other for almost ten years, right?"

After hearing Li Yongqian's words, Huang Bingyu showed a confiding expression on his face, and said, "We are old friends, and I won't hide it from you. I didn't come here this time to bet on stones..."

"Not for betting on stones? Then why are you going to the trading market?"

Li Yongqian was stunned when he heard this. Besides jade processing, Jieyang is also a large traditional Chinese medicine distribution center in Guangdong Province, but Huang Bingyu is in the jade business, so he can't come to wholesale Chinese medicine, right?
"Old Li, just because I say I don't want to bet on stones doesn't mean I don't want to buy jadeite."

Huang Bingyu said: "In the past few years, my business has not been very smooth, and I didn't bring much money this time. I really can't afford the risk of betting on stones, so I want to buy some stones that others gambled..."

As mentioned above, there are generally three types of people in the stone gambling market, that is, rough stone owners, gamblers and jewelry dealers. Huang Bingyu belongs to the third type of people, that is, people who buy jade from gamblers.

Although the price of buying jadeite meat is much higher than that of uncut rough stones, the advantage is that there is no risk, and there is no need to experience the cruel scene of "one sword in heaven and one sword in hell" in gambling on stones.

"It's also good to buy jade that others have gambled on. Don't be like me and lose your fortune by gambling..."

Li Yongqian shook his head a little lonely, then looked at Huang Bingyu, and said, "Brother Huang, even if you bought the jade that you have gambled on, it still needs to be processed. I wonder if you can hand it over to my factory?"

Seeing Li Yongqian's hopeful expression, Huang Bingyu sighed and said, "Old Li, you also know that I am in the jade wholesale business, and basically all of them are relatively cheap goods. This kind of good jadeite material, we But those who dare not start..."

What Huang Bingyu said was tantamount to politely rejecting Li Yongqian. He made it very clear that those cheap goods sold at the counter cost only three to five hundred yuan, and even cheaper ones could cost tens of yuan.

Jadeite at such a price must be carved by machine, otherwise, Li Yong's wages alone would make Huang Bingyu lose even his original capital.

"I see, Brother Huang, we won't talk about business today, let's drink!"

Li Yongqian was not stupid, he heard the meaning of Huang Bingyu's words, he could not help pouring himself a glass even though he only drank tea but not alcohol, and put on a look of drinking to relieve his worries.

"Brother Li, I don't make high-end jade, but someone does..."

Seeing Li Yongqian's appearance, Huang Bingyu couldn't bear it, so he raised his mouth and looked at Qin Feng at the same time, but he didn't know what Qin Feng was thinking, and he didn't say it too bluntly.

"Well, I don't have a machine at hand now, and the processing efficiency is too slow, and no one would do it for me." Li Yongqian, who was full of thoughts, didn't pay attention to Huang Bingyu's hints, just lowered his head and drank the wine.

"Boss Li, how much do those polishing and grinding machines cost?" Qin Feng asked casually.

"There are cheap ones and expensive ones."

Li Yongqian replied smoothly: "You can buy cheap ones worth RMB 30, and expensive ones worth RMB [-]. This depends on the quality of the processed jadeite. For high-quality jadeite, naturally it is safer to use a more expensive machine... ..."

Li Yongqian has been a jade carving craftsman for more than ten years, and he knows all kinds of jade-related machines in the market like the back of his hand, but now he can't even spend 1 yuan, and he is really close to the end of the mountain.

After hearing Li Yongqian's words, Qin Feng nodded and said: "Good jadeite requires expensive machines. This jade is three-thirds carved and seven-quarters polished. The post-processing is very important..."

"Boss Qin is an expert. In fact, the polishing process is better with a machine than by hand."

Li Yongqian didn't drink much, and after drinking a few glasses, he felt a little dizzy. When he heard Qin Feng's more professional words, he immediately discussed with him.

"This old Li, you are such a lumpy head, how do you do business?"

Li Yongqian's performance made Huang Bingyu next to him stare. Qin Feng asked in such detail that he obviously intended to do business with him, but Li Yongqian seemed not enlightened, and only cared about drinking, which made Huang Bingyu anxious.

In fact, it's no wonder Li Yongqian, he only knows that Qin Feng is Mr. Qi Gong's disciple, but he doesn't know anything about Qin Feng's business.

Although Li Yongqian is not good at judging people by their appearance, Qin Feng is really too young. Li Yongqian subconsciously did not regard Qin Feng as a businessman, so naturally he would never think of discussing business with him.

"Boss Huang, Kaizi, we're almost done eating, or should we stop here?"

Qin Feng saw that Li Yongqian was seven or eight points drunk, and he didn't want to talk too much with him, so he stood up and said, "Thank you, Boss Li, tomorrow, when my younger brother is the host, let's have a good get together..."

"Okay, okay, I... I'll pay the bill..."

Li Yongqian stood up with strong support, but his feet felt weak, and he sat back on the chair again, lying on the table in a daze, and was about to fall asleep.

"Kaizi, support Boss Li and give him his bag to carry on his back, let's go."

It was agreed before that Huang Bingyu would pay the bill. After Qin Feng saw Huang Bingyu pay the bill from the counter, he helped Li Yongqian with Zhu Kai and walked out of the hotel.

It was already afternoon when Qin Feng and the others got off the plane. It took several hours to drink tea before drinking. After leaving the hotel, it was already dark.

Although the south in January is much warmer than the capital city and Henan Province, where the snow has already been falling heavily, the temperature is still more than ten degrees, and the wind blowing on the body is cool.

Being blown by the cool wind, Li Yongqian suddenly woke up a little bit. He only felt a nausea in his chest and abdomen. He couldn't help but push the two of them away and vomited against the wall.

"Qin Feng, Lao Li is from the south, and he doesn't know much about drinking, but he drank a lot today..."

In any case, Li Yongqian is also Huang Bingyu's friend, and Huang Bingyu still wanted to say a few words in front of Qin Feng when he made a fool of himself.

"It's okay, Boss Li is a sweetheart." Qin Feng smiled and waved his hands, his eyes suddenly turned away from the two people who came not far away, and his smile disappeared immediately.

Both of them were in their early twenties, with one hand in their arms, walking very fast, with erratic eyes, they walked straight towards Li Yongqian who was still vomiting at the base of the wall.

"robbery?"

Qin Feng's eyes were fixed, and just as this idea came to his mind, one of the two young men had already grabbed the bag on Li Yongqian's shoulder, while the other took out a machete from his arms and aimed it at Qin Feng and others.

"Boy, don't be ignorant..."

The man with the machete shouted viciously at Qin Feng and the others. At the same time, his accomplice also pulled Li Yongqian to the ground and took off the shoulder bag.

"Learn to rob, and be more professional?"

Seeing that the person snatching the bag was about to run past him, Qin Feng suddenly stretched out his right foot and stumbled on the road ahead. Hearing a thud, the person holding the bag fell headfirst to the ground.

"Root, rob!"

At the same time that person fell, Li Yongqian's voice also sounded, which was particularly piercing on the silent road, and seven or eight people rushed out of the restaurant they had just come out of.

"Damn it, you're lucky!"

When the young man with the knife saw someone coming out of the restaurant, he felt a little timid. He pulled up his accomplice who had fallen to the ground, and ran into an alley without even bothering to pick up his bag.

"Brother Li, are you alright?"

Huang Bingyu was really taken aback by the situation just now, until the figures of the two men disappeared into the night, he breathed a sigh of relief and helped Li Yongqian who was on the ground up.

"No...it's okay, I fell on my forehead."

Even frightened and frightened, Li Yongqian woke up from the alcohol, touched the big bump on his forehead, Li Yongqian wanted to cry but had no tears, he was unlucky enough during this time, he didn't expect to be robbed when he went out?
"Boss Li, what's the matter, didn't you lose anything?" The restaurant owner obviously knew Li Yong, and ran over with seven or eight people, two of whom were cooks with kitchen knives in hand.

"It's okay, thank you Boss Cai, I just fell down..."

With Huang Bingyu's support, Li Yongqian stood up. Although he was still a little shaky when walking, it was because the alcohol had not subsided, and his hands and feet were still not in control.

"It's fine, then we're going back." Seeing that Li Yongqian was fine, the restaurant owner walked back with his people.

"It is said that the law and order in the south is chaotic, and today I have seen it."

Zhu Kai took Huang Bingyu's bag from the ground and said, "The road is rushing to rob with knives. What are those policemen doing? They don't care about anything?"

"Little brother, it's not that the police don't care, but they can't."

Li Yongqian took the bag and said with a wry smile: "Those two people must be doing pyramid schemes. I'm afraid they will be cheated and even lose their travel expenses home. There have been many such things during this time..."

It turned out that in [-], more than [-] people came to Jieyang to engage in a kind of multi-level marketing of swing machines, saying that they could get rich if they did this business, and many people were deceived into paying for the machines.

However, in the pyramid-style MLM organization, there are only a few people who can make money. In the end, these more than [-] people have been cheated out of their money, and even eating has become a problem.

Most of the people who have been engaged in rebellion since ancient times are bitter people who can't fill their stomachs.

Although these pyramid schemes did not dare to rebel, they have also become a factor of instability in the society. Jieyang used to have a good law and order, but there have been some cases of burglary and road robbery one after another.
Although the local government has dealt with and repatriated a large number of people, many gangs, large and small, have formed in Jieyang, and it is difficult to eliminate them for a while.

Being robbed by these people, Li Yongqian thought he was unlucky, but he was also very grateful. If there were not so many people today, maybe he would have been stabbed. Those people are notoriously cruel.
