Jianbao life

Chapter 71 Ghost City

Seeing Boss Meng on one side, Mr. Hou was staring at the piece of wool, and quickly asked, "Xiao Chu, what are you going to do next?"

Chu Chen looked around, smiled and said, "Old Hou, it's not convenient to talk about things here, why don't we change places?"

"Haha, look at me, let's go, let's go to the reception room in my shop." Mr. Hou said apologetically.

After Chu Chen and the others left, the onlookers started discussing immediately.

The former old man sighed: "I never thought that glass emeralds and ice apple greens are so big. I have never seen them in my life. Today is really an eye-opener and my dream has come true."

"That's true, but that little brother actually managed to rise twice in a row. I have to say that he is lucky!" The middle-aged man sighed enviously.

But his companion sang the opposite stage with him again: "Hey, let me tell you, it's because the little brother has good eyesight. How could it be possible for the little brother to rise twice in a row just because of luck and no strength? And the little brother With a lot of courage and a good heart, this kind of person will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future!"

"Rang Rang! Rang Rang! You guys, if you have time to sigh, you might as well learn from me and find a few pieces of material to solve it. Maybe you can get a little luck and have a small rise!"

A man in his 30s, holding three pieces of wool, rushed to the stone-breaking machine while talking, and said anxiously: "Master, please help me quickly, maybe the God of Wealth has not gone far! "

Seeing this scene, everyone could only shake their heads speechlessly.

In the reception room, everyone was admiring the two pieces of raw jadeite on the table, and were full of admiration. This kind of high-grade jadeite is really rare.Especially the two girls, with blurred eyes, who makes jewelry a woman's best friend?
"uh-huh"

Hou Lao coughed lightly, turned everyone's attention, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Xiao Chu, let's talk about this apple green crystal material. As you know, my store urgently needs this kind of high-grade jadeite. I won't say much, so please help me to open a suitable one. Price, let's keep it, what do you think?"

Chu Chen scratched his forehead, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hou, it is more suitable for you to offer this price. If I offer a higher price, we will also hurt our feelings. Don't you think so?"

After hearing the words, Mr. Hou lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned around and began to communicate with Boss Meng in a low voice.

If Mr. Hou hadn’t bought that piece of emerald, he might still be able to eat this piece of material, but now he can’t eat it alone. Since he can’t eat it alone, he might as well buy it together and then divide it up. The best option for both parties.

After a while, the two had almost communicated, and Mr. Hou said sincerely: "Xiao Chu, you should also know something about the market situation in our west. We will offer 80 million yuan for this material, what do you think? "

Chu Chen thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Old Hou, you are so straightforward, of course I won't hold back, okay, let's let this price be."

80 million, if you say more, it's definitely not too much. If you look at the capital or southern markets, the price can definitely be higher, but in terms of the western market, it's already pretty good, and this price is also in line with Chu Chen expected.

Besides, this piece of wool was bought from someone after all. Chu Chen eats meat, so he must let others drink soup. In business, he still needs to make money with peace, and maybe one day, he may even trouble others.

Mr. Hou and Boss Meng looked at Chu Chen nervously. When they heard that he agreed to the quotation, they both heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled on their faces.When Zhou Wenping and the others heard the price, they also showed envious expressions. They didn't expect that Chu Chen would become a multi-millionaire in the blink of an eye.

"By the way, Xiao Chu, what do you want us to do about this emerald?" Seeing that the deal was concluded, Mr. Hou hurriedly asked about the other emerald.

"That's right, Mr. Hou, you also know that such glass emeralds are rare, so I want to keep them and appreciate them. Let's trade them tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" Chu Chen said a little embarrassed.

In fact, if he hadn't used up all the powers today, he wouldn't have made this request. You must know that this is nearly 300 million emerald powers. It would be a pity if he didn't absorb them.

Others didn't find it strange after hearing it, and it would be the same if it was me.

When Mr. Hou heard that it was such a trivial matter, he was also relieved, and said with a smile on his face:

"Of course it's okay, but the bank will be closed tomorrow, so let's sign the contract together today and transfer the money directly. As for the emerald, you can give it to me tomorrow." (Some bank branches seem to be open on Saturdays. If there is a problem, please bear with me)
Chu Chen didn't expect Mr. Hou to say that, which made him a little entangled. After signing the contract, will it affect the absorption of abilities?But Mr. Hou has already said this, if he refuses again, he will show a little tenderness. At this time, he regrets it a little. If he had known this before, it would be better not to sell this raw material!

But now that this is the case, I can only relax, but think about it, 300 million is not much, and I have never seen 1000 million earned so easily!Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt relieved, so he nodded in agreement.

When the two parties signed the contract, Chu Chen included the piece of black and white jade that Hou Yuanming asked for before, and he didn't ask for money.

The next transfer was also very smooth. After the transaction was completed, Mr. Hou and Boss Meng left to discuss the follow-up issues of the jadeite, while Hou Yuanming gave Chu Chen a portable safe, so that it would be safe for people. Take it easy.

After finishing all the work, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.After such a thrilling stone gambling experience, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, so Hou Yuanming suggested that everyone go to drink tea and have a rest, and then he was the host, inviting them to the famous Xijing restaurant to taste the delicious food there.

Everyone had no objection to this proposal, so Hou Yuanming took them to a rather charming teahouse.

Just as Chu Chen sat down, the phone rang. When he saw the number, it was actually Zhao Qirui's number, so he immediately picked it up.

"Hello, Brother Zhao, I'm Chu Chen, what do you want from me?"

"Hehe, Xiao Chu, I just want to ask, is there any news about the painting I asked you to find earlier? If not, then there is no need to look for it. My friend has already found a work by Wu Changshuo for me."

"Brother Zhao, I really want to congratulate you, but I also want to apologize to you. Before, I got a work by Zheng Banqiao, but I want to keep it for myself, so..."

Chu didn't want to bring up this matter at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. After all, the antique market is really not that big. Instead of hearing others mention it in the future, Zhao Qirui might as well say it himself, so as to avoid Zhao Qirui's misunderstanding.

"Good guy, you can get Zheng Banqiao's works, someday you can enjoy them for me." On the phone, Zhao Qirui's voice didn't seem angry.

Chu Chen immediately said: "Of course it's no problem, but I'm still out of town, and the painting is still with Liu Zhi and Mr. Liu. After a while, I'll show it to you for appreciation."

"Oh, that's no problem, but I'm curious, Liu is so old that he didn't ask you to buy such a work?"

"At that time, the old man also wanted it, but didn't I want to collect it myself, so I didn't agree." Speaking of this, Chu Chen thought to himself that he didn't even sell Mr. Liu, so you won't be angry if you think about it.

"Hehe, then go get busy, and we'll contact you when you have time."

After Chu Chen hung up the phone, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Zhao Qirui's last tone, he should be fine.But when he raised his head and looked at the others, he found that everyone was staring at him motionlessly.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked a little strangely.

Li Guodong said indignantly: "Xiao Chen, why haven't we heard that you have Zheng Banqiao's works, you keep such things hidden, you are too mean."

"that is!"

The others nodded again and again, and they all put on the appearance of pleading against Chu Chen.

"Well, I'm too embarrassed to take the initiative to say it."

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly explained how he got the painting, and then said, "Tell me, what should I say about this? Wouldn't it be showing off if I said it myself?"

"Hmph, even showing off is better than hiding it, Yulan, don't you think so?"

Seeing that Chu Yulan nodded in agreement, Wen Yuting went on to say, "Brother Chu, why are you so lucky? Picking up leaks has become a common practice. Could it be that you are so lucky every day that you can't take a photo? No, we also have that piece of Zheng Banqiao's work." To see!"

"Okay, okay! Can I still promise?" Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry. Didn't he just pick up a loophole? Don't think of me as a class enemy.

Hou Yuanming also said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, your luck is beyond words. I can't even be jealous if I want to. But since you are so lucky, you must visit the ghost market tomorrow."

The so-called "ghost market" is simply an underground market in the antique world.

In fact, the ghost market has existed for a long time, but it has become a special place for antique trading since the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Qing soldiers entered the pass and became the natural rulers. However, as time went on, the war gradually subsided. The old property was exchanged for money, and sneaked to the "ghost market" under the cover of darkness.

Later, those dudes also had no money to live on, and they also exchanged the treasures left by the elders in the family for money, and went to the pawn shop to fear losing face, so they also took the treasures to the "ghost market" to sell for money.Others collect junk, receive things from rich people, or receive stolen things, and also rush to the "ghost market" to change money.
