Li Chengru has been away with fifty cash for more than a month. He would be lying if he said he was not worried at all.
You know, Li Chengru went to a strange place thousands of miles away to purchase things, and it was not just one place, but several places to purchase what Zhang Junping needed.
It is now 1983, the eve of the crackdown, the most chaotic time.
Those black shops and human butcher shops in "Water Margin" really don't just exist in the movies, but they exist in reality.
With so much money, how could he explain to Li Chengru's family if something unexpected happened?
Just in case Li Chengru gets interested in seeing money, let's have a roll party...
It is said that Li Chengru is upright and upright, but we all know this from self-media and news reports.
Celebrities all have two sides, who knows if they are truly honest and upright?
Zhang Junping dared to give money to Li Chengru, not because he was betting on Li Chengru's character, but because Li Chengru, a person who could endure humiliation and hard work on the crew of "Journey to the West" for five or six years, would not be so narrow-minded that he would be lost in the sight of half a million.
.
Finally, Li Chengru did not disappoint him and came back.
"Brother Zhang, finally I didn't keep you waiting in vain. I bought you what you need." Li Chengru said with a grin.
"Brother Li, thank you for your hard work. This month, I have become darker and slimmer!
Today you go back to rest and spend time with your family.
Let's go to Tan's Kitchen tomorrow night, and I'll help you clean up the dust." Zhang Junping patted Li Chengru's arm vigorously and said with some emotion.
"I came back yesterday and didn't come over. Mainly because I was waiting to get the goods today before coming over." Li Chengru rubbed his head and smiled.
"Okay! Let's make it tonight. I'll call Ye Jing, Wang Shuo, and Lao Ma and make an appointment to pick up Brother Li." Zhang Junping didn't care about Li Chengru's return yesterday and didn't come to report.
smiled.
"Brother Zhang, let's see if the things I purchased are suitable for you first.
Otherwise, my heart will always be troubled and I won’t be in the mood even for drinking.”
"Okay, let's go and see what Brother Li gained from this trip." Zhang Junping also wanted to know what Li Chengru bought back after being out for more than a month, so he agreed according to his words.
"Everything is put in the warehouse!" Li Chengru led Zhang Junping towards the warehouse.
Only then did Zhang Junping realize that he had missed Li Chengru's return just in time for his trip today.
"These ten boxes here are all jadeite bought from Yunnan!" Li Chengru said as he opened a box, "Because Brother Zhang, you are buying jadeite to inlay it on furniture, so I did not pursue jadeite cultivation.
, the main selection direction is based on size and color.”
"Brother Li is very thoughtful. We are using it to make furniture inlays. If this is a piece of glass imperial green inlaid on the furniture, let alone admiring it, I will probably not be able to sleep for fear of something going wrong." Zhang Junping
He smiled and praised.
"Of course, although we don't pursue planting water, we can't let it go when we encounter good planting water, right? Brother Zhang, you are an artist. I think this wood carving and jade carving should be similar, and we should be able to use them in the future.
So, I took it upon myself to buy ten pieces of relatively good jade. Although there was no imperial green from glass, I still got a piece of emerald from high ice!" Li Chengru continued to show off his gains from this trip.
"Brother Li is awesome!" Zhang Junping gave Li Chengru a thumbs up in surprise, "You can buy such top-quality materials as high-quality emeralds, you are the one!"
"It's not that easy. I wandered around Tengchong for more than 20 days and got familiar with it before I took action. This was also thanks to the fact that I met a few local buddies when I was filming in Yunnan. I relied on their help to win so many
Jade, and this piece of emerald jade!”
Li Chengru said it easily, but in fact, it is definitely not as simple as he said. Yunnan is close to Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos, all of which are the poorest and most chaotic countries. The famous Golden Triangle is here.
At this time in Yunnan, pornography, gambling and drugs are definitely rampant, and jade can be said to be jade that is watered by blood and life. It goes without saying that Li Chengru was able to obtain such a top-quality jade in such a place. The twists and turns and dangers involved can be imagined.
arrived.
"Brother Li, I won't say any more thanks. After this piece of jade is processed, I will leave a ring face, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings for my sister-in-law." After Zhang Junping said this, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
What can I say about Li Chengru? He has wealth luck, but he doesn’t have love luck.
Of course, I probably made my first marriage by myself. After all, I was rich. When I went to hotels and nightclubs, my tips were always US dollars. I used US dollars to light cigarettes. This was not a scene in a movie. Li Chengru actually did this.
Forget it, I won’t comment on the second marriage.
Who can explain clearly to outsiders about marriage?
Anyway, it was a complete waste to give this emerald jade product to Li Chengru.
It's not that I feel bad about money, it's mainly that this guy has been married twice and is still in love in his sixties. Giving him such a good thing is really a waste.
However, the words had already been spoken, and Zhang Junping had no choice but to go back on his words.
"Brother Zhang, I won't be polite to you. Let me thank you for your future sister-in-law first!" Li Chengru was really not polite to Zhang Junping, and directly thanked him and accepted the gift.
The main reason is that Li Chengru feels that his efforts are worth these gifts.
"Why are we brothers so polite?
Are these raw jade stones?" Zhang Junping saw several piles of hills-like stones piled on the ground, kicked them with his feet, and asked.
"Yes! In order to get this emerald, I rounded all the rough stones owned by that buddy. Not only his, but also the rough stones from several companies, I also rounded them all.
Together with these rough stones, we spent a total of 235,000 yuan, and I gave my buddies a thank you gift of 5,000 yuan, so the total cost is 240,000 yuan." Li Chengru continued to report.
"Yes, we can't let our friends work in vain." Zhang Junping nodded.
"These are the shells you want, conches. They are cheap. These dozen sacks of shells and conches cost less than a thousand yuan in total."
"It doesn't matter how much money this thing costs, the key is not to be near the sea. If there is no land to get it, how would people in ancient times use shells as money?"
"In addition, we also got a lot of fine products, including tortoiseshell and clam clams, which are all in these boxes." Li Chengru opened another one and said to Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping looked at the tortoise shells and clams in the box that were glowing with light, and felt deeply in his heart that he had found the right person when he asked Li Chengru to buy them for him.
If he goes alone for more than a month, he will definitely not be able to get so many things.
"By the way, there is also marble. The one is still on the way. I bought five carriages of marble and gave me a deposit of 10,000 yuan. I will pay the remaining money when the goods arrive in Beijing."
