Chapter 109 The Old Rules 2
"What are you talking about? Xiaoyong, sit here and rest for a while. If we don't go to the stone quarry and gamble on stones, what are we brothers doing here?" (Dingdian Novel)
Hand typed novel)
Seeing Cao Yong holding his arm to prevent him from leaving, Ye Huan looked back at him and asked in confusion. He said as if he was joking: "Are we brothers here to wait for dinner?".
"Ouch! Oh my silly brother!".
Cao Yong bared his teeth and grinned, as if someone had just punched him in the cheek. He approached Ye Huan with a thief look and said, "You want to bet on stones? Then why did you accept money from others just now?"
.
"Hey! Is this really weird?".
Ye Huan was too embarrassed to speak loudly. He checked that there was no one outside the door and said in a low voice: "Didn't you see it just now? Lao Ding and the others said it was a rule. You didn't say anything inappropriate at that time. Why now?
You said that again?".
"They are talking about old rules, and there is nothing wrong with that."
Cao Yong covered his cheek, looking like he was in pain, and said: "But since they follow the rules, you have to abide by the rules. Why do you still go to their stone quarry to play with stones? Aren't you breaking the rules?"
”.
"Wait, wait! Xiaoyong, please explain clearly, what are the rules?".
When Ye Huan heard this, he clearly felt that something was not right. Now he was so anxious that he grabbed Cao Yong and almost yelled.
"You really don't know?".
Cao Yong's eyes almost fell out in surprise. He stared at Ye Huan with an alien expression for a long time. After hearing the other party's urging, he came to his senses and said helplessly: "Look
Seeing what you're doing, this is the first time I've seen a leader in the jade circle in Chengjin City who doesn't know the rules of playing with jade materials? Haha! Brother, if you say this outside, it will make people laugh.
die".
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me!".
At this point, Ye Huan, who felt something was wrong, simply sat down on the chair again, grabbed Cao Yong and urged him.
"Okay, I said, I said okay? I'd better give you a little introduction to the origin of this guy, it seems you don't know either."
Cao Yong pondered for a moment and said: "The names of the leaders in Chengjin City and Sichuanjiang Province are mainly passed down from southern Yunnan. It is said that this title has been around since the Ming Dynasty. It is said that it was originally
It is also a gang organization equivalent to the Youth Gang or the Ge Lao Hui.
However, people who play jade and do jade business are more loosely organized and do not form gangs in the strict sense. However, a bit of history passed down from ancient times has been preserved, which is why you are called the leader."
"Is that so? I thought it was just a slightly joking honorific."
Ye Huan was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized something, and then he said anxiously: "Then you can tell me in more detail why you can't go to the stone quarry to gamble on stones after you collect the money?".
"There's nothing worth going into detail about."
Cao Yong said with a helpless smile: "This is the old rule in the industry. If you accept the filial gift from others at the stone quarry, it means that you will stay in this stone quarry for at least half a day.
If those merchants who make jade and wool materials ask you to appraise their materials, you should come forward and give them some advice."
Having said this, he laughed out loud and said after a while: "Haha! Brother, don't you think that if someone gives you tens of thousands of dollars for free, nothing will happen and you don't need to do anything? In this world?
Is there anyone who can make money without working hard? Okay, brother, your job is probably the easiest one. No one else wants to rush to do it, but you can't do it. Why are you still looking so miserable?
”.
"It's actually like this, it's like this."
Ye Huan murmured repeatedly, then he cheered up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's spend half a day at Lao Ding's place this afternoon, just treat our brothers as a half-day holiday.
Take a rest, and tomorrow morning we will go to other stone quarries to gamble on stones."
"Going to gamble on stones? Are you still thinking about that beautiful thing?".
Cao Yong snorted with a "chi" in his nostrils and said: "You just accepted Lao Ding's money. In a short while, the news must have spread throughout the jade circle in Chengjin City. Since you are willing to accept the money, then the next step
Whichever stone quarry you go to, they will definitely be willing to honor you.
It's a rule. And you have to accept it, because you accepted the gift from Lao Ding and the others before, which is equivalent to opening the door. If you don't accept the money from other quarries next, it means that you are going to beat others.
With his face, that person shouldn’t be offended by you, right?”
"Oh my god! How could this happen?".
Ye Huan was really anxious this time. He blurted out a curse word and said hurriedly: "Cao Yong, why didn't you remind me just now? Me."
"Did I remind you? What a joke!".
Cao Yong glanced at him and said slowly: "Brother, when you went to Bai Jie's house, did you tell her father about how to become an official?".
Ye Huan said angrily: "It's already here, what are you talking about? Uncle Bai is such a big official, why do you want me to talk nonsense to him? What are you talking about here?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Isn't this true?".
Cao Yong said with a smile: "How do I know that you, a mastermind, don't even understand these basic things? If I told you before, then if you listen to it, you will be like a dog taking advantage of a mouse. Really, can you blame me for this?
Well?".
"Well?".
Ye Huan opened his mouth and looked at Cao Yong stupidly. He was choked by this guy's words and couldn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he sighed feebly and said dejectedly: "Okay, stop talking.
, I blame you for this. I didn’t take into account so many changes in the situation before. It seems that the shortfall of funds has really become a big problem. Xiaoyong, do you have any other places to make money?"
"Why don't we brothers take a trip to Fog City? Apart from our Chengjin City in Sichuanjiang Province, the jade industry is more prosperous in Fog City."
Cao Yong thought for a while, looked at Ye Huan, and said with rare caution.
"Um!".
Ye Huan nodded and asked: "Are you familiar with the situation in the stone quarry over there in Fog City?".
Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I'm not familiar with it. I've talked to those people on the road before, and I just heard some general information. I really haven't understood the specifics."
"No, why don't we just buy a house to live in when we get there, and then go looking for it?"
After hearing this, Ye Huan shook his head like a rattle. After saying that, he lit a cigarette impatiently, took a deep puff, narrowed his eyes and pondered.
"Xiao Huan, how about we go for a trip to Southern Yunnan Province?".
Yang Hu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said. Seeing Ye Huan looking at him in confusion, he continued: "Our brothers' troops were there back then, and they also suppressed drug lords several times in the south. What about the people over there?
The situation is familiar. And there are still many comrades there. As long as we call, we will definitely be able to find out the situation."
"Is that so?".
The expression in Ye Huan's eyes changed several times, and he felt a little moved.
