City Marshal

From the information sent by Fang Qing, Chu Tian knew that the member of the Xingyue team who supported him was called Fang Zhou. He was a high-achieving student who had returned to China after studying abroad. He was absorbed into the Xingyue team, and Chutian came to Italy this time, and it was he who came to play the front line.

This person is competent, quick to respond, and loyal enough!This is Fang Qing's evaluation of him.

Although Chu Tian was worried about problems with the Xingyue team, he still had complete trust in Fang Qing's evaluation. He believed that Fang Qing sent Fang Zhou as the vanguard to take charge of his affairs in Italy, which meant that she had thoroughly inspected Fang Zhou and was capable enough to control him. , that's why the evaluation of 'sufficient loyalty' will be given.

After the car circled around twice, Chu Tian said, "Fang Zhou, let's go for a stroll!"

Fang Zhou nodded and parked the car beside him.

There are tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants living in Rome, the capital of Italy. They "get together" in the neighborhood of Vittorio Square in the center of the city. There are more than a thousand shops in the city alone. In the eyes of many people, this place is like Los Angeles. Chinatown is the "site" of the Chinese in Rome, and it is also the site of Fang Gang.

Nowadays, around this square in the center of Rome, black-haired, black-eyed, and yellow-skinned Chinese can be seen everywhere, and there are row upon row of Chinese shops—the names of the shops are written in big Chinese characters, and the shop assistants speak Chinese with a southern accent and a northern accent. It is also made by the Celestial Dynasty, and it can be described as bustling and lively.

After wandering around for more than ten minutes, Chutian met a few guys who looked down upon others successively, but Chutian didn't argue with them. With a lot of money to vent, the one who suffers is himself.

Even so, he still marveled at the prosperity of Chinatown.

Chu Tian sighed softly, feeling quite emotional: "The Chinese, you really have contributed a lot!"

The members of the Xingyue team heard Chu Tian's words, and answered with a smile: "Young commander, life in a foreign country is cheap, this sentence is true everywhere, it seems to be very lively here, but in fact there is already a development bottleneck, then It is the intentional or unintentional suppression policy of the local government, and the Italians are very reluctant to see the development of the Chinese.”

Chu Tian frowned, turned his head and asked, "How do you say that?" The members of the Xingyue team obviously investigated the information, and replied without hesitation: "It's not because of jealousy, seeing the Chinese desperately making money, Sundays and legal holidays For the Chinese merchants, it is a good time to do business, but the Italians are against it, they believe that the holidays require a national rest."

"On the premise that they themselves are not willing to open their businesses, it is unfair to require the Chinese in Italy not to open their doors, otherwise their business will be seriously affected.

The end result is that municipal governments across Italy promulgate decrees at the request of residents, "commanding" Chinese businessmen to rest. "

Chu Tian nodded slightly, saying that in the end it was all about interests.

After a short pause, the members of the Xingyue group continued to add: "Ordering" to rest is fine, and the Roman government has even decided to prohibit the Chinatown in the urban area from operating "the sale and production of clothing, apparel, footwear, leather products, non-precious jewelry, etc." , the business that these Chinese depend on for a living requires all to move to the suburbs. "

"It is even regarded as a "red card" by local Chinese businessmen, so they can only rest."

Hearing this, Chutian was a little dumbfounded. At the same time, he was even more emotional. He didn't expect that the foreign Chinese seemed to have unlimited scenery, but they were full of blood and tears. However, he didn't feel much sympathy. He has a condescending attitude towards his compatriots at home.

During the period, Chutian saw a jade shop and thought he should bring some gifts for Zhou Longjian, so he asked the members of the Xingyue team to lead him to have a look. As soon as he got out of the car and approached the jade shop, he heard the beckoning cat shaking his head at the door , the standard Chinese sounded: "Welcome!"

Then I saw someone open the door of the shop.

Chutian and the others stepped in, and the door was quickly closed again.

It was a shrewd woman who opened the door, who was full of smiles, but after sweeping Chutian's clothes and shoes, he changed into a proud expression, and he was lying across the aisle not only did not mean to welcome you, but also put on an air of repulsiveness: "Hello! May I ask what is the matter for you? We will not accept non-regular customers in our shop!"

This is a charming and proud woman, a soft black leather dress tightly wraps her fair skin, her trembling chest is looming, her slender legs are exposed outside the skirt, and she wears a pair of black leather boots, although only revealing The white and tender half of her knees, but it is just the right coquettish.

Hideko Hattori's complexion changed drastically, but Chu Tian stopped her when she was about to explode.

I thought they were brothers and sisters when they went abroad!It turns out that there are people everywhere who look down on people with dog eyes. No wonder Fang Gang has been in business for so many years and is still stuck in Rome without any development. Thinking of this, Chu Tian nodded slightly and responded politely: "Hi, I'm sorry, we want to buy some Jade!"

Just when the shrewd woman was about to refuse, she heard the lucky cat singing again. The woman whose eyes lit up instantly walked towards the door, and at the same time said to Chu Tian impatiently: "Then you can just look at it, but Don’t touch it before you buy it, it’s all valuables, you won’t be able to accompany it if it’s broken!”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran to open the door. Chu Tian shook his head lightly. He was really a snobbish guy, but he didn't take it seriously. Now, when he was shopping in this [-]-square-meter store, although there were There are quite a few jade wares, which look dazzling under the soft light, but Chu Tian knows that they are all defective products.

At least, it's not appropriate to give Zhou Longjian!Chu Tian's eyes fell on the corner of the store, where there were more than a dozen large and small stones, surrounded by red ropes, and there were two strong men guarding them, and they leaned over with surprise in their eyes. Gambling on jade, also known as gambling on stones, is an ancient way of trading jade materials.

These are all the original appearance of jade. Neither the buyer nor the seller knows the jade content in it. When gambling on jade, buyers are not allowed to cut and inspect the original jade before buying. As for whether they can get good jade, It all depends on personal luck. Many times, people with good eyesight often miss.

Otherwise, the shrewd woman who sells stones would have already cut it herself.

However, as long as you gamble on good jade, it is enough to turn over dozens of times the price.

This is similar to playing 'size' in a casino. The risks and benefits are directly proportional. Therefore, people who dare to gamble on jade are often those who have a lot of spare money and love jade. On the stone, I learned about distinguishing stone fur from Zhang Xiaoquan in the Golden Triangle.

Just as Chu Tian was about to reach out to touch things, the woman who served the customers trotted over and shouted, "You can't move your hands now, little brother, I told you not to touch things. This is a place to gamble on jade. If you really want to gamble on stones , just take out [-] euros first, and then choose which one to choose, understand?" Chu Tian frowned, and replied lightly: "[-]?" , obviously this shrewd woman thought that she couldn't read Italian, and also thought that she had no money to take the opportunity to scare herself off, and she couldn't help but sighed softly at the shrewd woman's unkindness, but this dissatisfaction didn't show on her face, and her eyes fell again. on the rough stone.

The shrewd woman nodded and said impatiently, "That's right, five thousand euros, not RMB!"

Although the woman offered an expensive price, with Chutian's eyesight, he could tell that the rough stone was Burmese jadeite, which could be sold for at least a million RMB after cutting and polishing. He took out [-] euros and handed it to the shrewd woman: "I want the biggest rough stone!"

Wow!This kid is really generous!It can be seen that this kid is a rich man pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so the shrewd woman put a smile on her face instantly, took the Euro's spit and counted it, and after confirming that it was correct, she said enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, brother Generous enough, discerning enough, smart enough!"

In fact, she was ridiculed in her heart, foolishly thinking that the bigger the jade, the more jade.

Although this stone is huge, because it doesn't have any jade veins on the outside, its luster to the sun is not transparent, and it feels rough to the touch.

The weight is not as heavy as it contains large pieces of jadeite.
