Chen Tianhua was young and had good eyesight, so he recognized who the other person was at a glance.

This man in his fifties was the shopkeeper who brought him towels and soap at the grocery store in Shuangqi Town two months ago.

"How are you, Mr. Boss? I didn't expect that we would meet again. My name is Chen Tianhua." Chen Tianhua said beforehand.

"You...you are Chen Tianhua...Yingshi's friend? Why didn't he come?"

At this time, Chen Zongyu finally recognized Chen Tianhua.

This person is the mysterious young man who asked for soap and towels in a grocery store he owned in Shuangqi Town in ragged clothes two months ago.

In the past two months, this young man has grown taller, stronger, and has a brighter temperament. His clothes have changed significantly since he was two months ago.

But no matter how he changes, his identity and status cannot reach the sky in one step. He is still a country boy.

Chen Zongyu never imagined that the distinguished guest friend his nephew Yingshi mentioned was the country boy in front of him?

He was so shocked that his head felt dizzy, he staggered and almost lost his balance, and all he blurted out were a few questions.

"Reporting to the big shopkeeper, Brother Yingshi has a class in the morning, so he can't accompany the junior there, but he told the junior that he has an appointment with you first, so just let the junior come alone to keep the appointment."

Chen Tianhua was neither humble nor overbearing, and explained the reasons clearly and logically.

Chen Zongyu listened very carefully and clearly, and found out that the young man in front of him was really the Chen Tianhua that his nephew Yingshi mentioned.

"I heard from Yingshi that you have a batch of pearls that you need to sell. Are you serious?"

Despite this, Chen Zongyu still did not dare to confirm and equated a businessman with dozens of rare pearls with a country boy who was in trouble.

Although it was rude, he had to ask clearly, otherwise he would become the laughing stock of others.

"The big shopkeeper is right. I do have a batch of pearls that I need to sell. Brother Yingshi took the initiative to recommend Donghu Yueming Jewelry Store. He said that you are the largest jeweler in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Chen Tianhua accidentally put in a good word for Chen Qimei in front of his second uncle.

Chen Zongyu then put down his uneasy heart, glared at the opponent again, clasped his fists in his hands and said:

"Young sir, I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me. Since we first met, Yingshi was not present, so I have to proceed with caution. I'm really sorry."

This is considered a formal courtesy acceptance.

Seeing this, Chen Tianhua hurriedly returned the greeting, "Oh, the big shopkeeper is so polite. You should be cautious when meeting for the first time. This junior understands it very well and does not feel slighted at all. On the contrary, the big shopkeeper was here to greet me early in the morning. This junior is deeply moved and admires me greatly."

!”

These words were appropriate and generous, resolving the embarrassment in a few words, and also included some appropriate compliments.

"Hey, young gentleman, you are too modest. Please come in!" Chen Zongyu leaned sideways and bowed, showing great etiquette.

"The big shopkeeper invites you first!"

"..."

Chen Tianhua followed him into the reception room inside the store, and naturally saw Chen Qiye who was busy making tea.

Chen Zongyu introduced: "This is my eldest nephew Chen Qiye, a Qinshi, and this is our boss, Mr. Chen Tianhua."

"Young manager, I was very offended last time." Chen Tianhua smiled slightly and bowed his hands.

"The young gentleman is so charming that I am ashamed of myself!"

Chen Qiye recognized who was in front of him at a glance. His expression of surprise only flashed past, and he immediately calmed down and returned the courtesy.

After the courtesy conversation, both parties sat down on the mahogany Eight Immortals chairs in the reception room.

"Please have some tea. This is the best Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian." Chen Qiye poured a cup of brewed tea for Chen Tianhua and brought it to him.

"Thank you, young shopkeeper."

Chen Tianhua thanked him with his hand, took the tea and took a sip as a sign of courtesy. Then he took out the pearls wrapped in velvet from his jacket, opened them and presented them on the coffee table.

"Wow, what a big freshwater pearl! Rare."

"Yes, the color is bright and balanced!"

"Meat red with a hint of chicken blood red, pure chicken blood red..."

"..."

Chen Zongyu and Chen Qiye, uncle and nephew, stopped being polite. They took out their magnifying glasses and carefully inspected each piece. Indeed, they found no damage or flaws, let alone any trace of oxidation.

The two of them watched for more than half an hour. Chen Zongyu finally put down the magnifying glass in his hand, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked Chen Tianhua:

"Sir, how many cockscomb clams are gathered here? How big are the clams?"

"Mainly from a pair of male and female clams, which are extremely huge, each weighing 40 kilograms, almost one foot and five inches long, brown and black." Chen Tianhua replied.

"Oh, this is really big. It should be called the king of cockscomb clams. You captured this king and the queen mother, hehe..."

Chen Zongyu smiled lightly, and then asked, "Did you catch it in Guazi Lake?"

Chen Tianhua nodded and smiled.

After the appreciation, we returned to the reception room to enjoy tea and chat.

The seemingly endless chat was actually centered around cockscomb clams, freshwater pearls, melon seed lake, etc.

What surprised Chen Zongyu the most was that Chen Tianhua's knowledge of the breeding and growth patterns of cockscomb clams, the factors for identifying pearls, etc. was no worse than that of an old man like him.

On the contrary, he still doesn't know something about some knowledge.

Chen Zongyu now has no time to question how this young man, less than twenty years old, mastered these things.

He must get to the point quickly and start real negotiations.

"Little sir, we are all sensible people. To be honest, these freshwater pearls are rare items. I want them all. How much silver do you want?"

Chen Zongyu is a shrewd businessman. If he doesn't tell lies in front of real people, there is no need to beat around the bush and go straight to the subject.

"This junior doesn't dare to speak out wildly. The chief shopkeeper is an expert and a senior, so just give me a count!"

Chen Tianhua kicked the ball back. On the surface, he was respecting his elders, but in essence, he was using defense as offense.

After hearing this, Chen Zongyu also nodded and smiled.

It seems that he has met his opponent in chess and is about to take action.

He began to think about it while drinking tea.

These rare pearls are technically priceless because they have never been seen in this color and size.

He can only calculate the value based on the value it sells after it is made into jewelry.

For example, if you put it as a pendant and sell it in gold jewelry, or sell it in pearl jewelry, there are two kinds of colors and sizes.

Calculated based on 30% of the selling price profit, the purchase price of pure chicken blood red should be 500 yuan each. Here are 23 pieces, which should be 11,500 yuan.

The jade is white and inlaid with chicken blood red color. The purchase price should be 300 yuan each, for a total of 18 pieces, it should be 5,400 yuan.

The total is around 17,000 yuan.

The key is that these rare jewelry are very collectible and will fetch higher auction prices on the market in the future.

In short, no matter how you calculate it, the profit will be huge. The key is that it is a priceless treasure and has collection value.

In addition, Chen Zongyu also wanted to make friends with this young master, so he decided to show rare sincerity.

"Sir, I am willing to pay 12,000 yuan to buy it!"
