“It’s not easy to come here, so of course I have to bring some souvenirs.”
"Besides, this thing is not expensive."
"By the way, you and Xiao Meng are here just in time. You two go pick one and I'll pay for it."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed towards the table in the hall.
"never mind."
"I don't have to."
Li Jie shook his head, he didn't want to take on Cheng Feng's favor.
However, one thing to say is that this store is not too bad, at least the prices are clearly marked, although the quality of the items is a bit inferior.
But he's a real guy anyway.
Just now, he took a cursory glance at the things Cheng Feng bought. How should I put it, the things were all genuine, genuine jadeite.
However, things are not that good.
It's probably the kind of thing where the materials are not worth the work.
"Me too."
Wu Di was also embarrassed to continue spending Cheng Feng's money. No one's money comes from the flood, although the madman is rich.
But if someone is rich, what does it have to do with him?
I always take advantage of others, which makes me feel uneasy.
"That's okay."
Cheng Feng nodded without forcing it, and then he turned to look at the counter.
"Pay the bill."
“Can I swipe my card?”
"Yes, sir."
The clerk responded with a standard business smile, but compared to ordinary people, her smile towards Cheng Feng was a little more kind.
Can you not be kind?
In just a short time, this man bought something worth tens of thousands of dollars, and looking at him, he didn't seem to feel distressed at all.
The clerk wanted to invite Cheng Feng to take a look at the boutique area at the back.
Who wouldn’t like a customer like a rich novice?
"These things total thirty-one thousand and eighty, so I'll give you a zero and only take thirty-one thousand."
"become."
Hearing this number, Cheng Feng had no idea. It only cost more than 30,000 yuan to buy such a pile. It was extremely cheap.
Moreover, the clerk gave him a zero, which made him feel like he had earned a profit.
"Swipe your card."
Immediately, Cheng Feng coolly took out an ICBC card.
On the other side, Li Jie did not continue to stay at the counter, but walked around the store. As expected, most of the items on display outside were kilograms of ingredients.
Not worth much money.
Of the cost per kilogram of material, freight is the bulk, but the material itself is worthless.
However, as Li Jie said before, this store is not a shady store. There are still some high-quality products in the stall outside.
For a store with a fixed address like this, if you open the door to do business, you won't catch people to death.
Put a few high-quality products among a defective product, and occasionally let others pick up a few small leaks. In this way, you can at least restore your reputation.
Anyway, it's just a small leak, only tens of thousands of things at most. Compared with the daily turnover, this small amount of money is nothing.
Since ancient times, the jade industry has been a fairly closed circle.
Even in the Internet age, the sales channels of the jade industry have become more and more diversified, but this fact has not changed.
Take jade as an example. Almost all fine jade is produced in Myanmar.
As long as the source is controlled, the circle will naturally be closed.
Stories like those popular among the people about getting rich, such as spending tens of thousands of dollars and getting something worth tens of millions, are basically impossible.
Good materials are basically in the hands of the mine owners.
Once those materials with good surface performance are mined, the mine owner can directly cut the stone and chop it with a knife, and the quality of the material can be clearly seen at a glance.
Then, those high-quality jade materials are either sealed by the mine owners or sent to the jade public market for auction.
Therefore, the jadeite on the public market is all clear material and semi-clear material, and there is no such thing as all-in-one jadeite.
As for the total gambling materials circulating on the market, some are introduced by jade merchants who have good relations with the mine owners, and some are collected by local people in Myanmar through various means.
Most of this part of jade is mid- to low-grade jade, and high-quality jade materials are rare.
Most of the items displayed in this store are purchased in bulk from upstream jade merchants.
"Xiao Meng, the madman is cutting rocks over there, why don't you go over and take a look?"
While Li Jie was picking stones, Wu Di suddenly came to his side.
"I'll pick first, and then I'll go over after I've finished my selection."
Wu Di was surprised and said: "Do you understand this?"
"How do I understand this?"
Li Jie smiled and shook his head: "I just have a chance to see if I have the right eye."
"And you?"
"Have you chosen yet?"
"You've picked it."
Wu Di took out a small piece of wool the size of a baby's fist.
"Look, this is it, doesn't it look good?"
"This stone is still heart-shaped. I'll wait for the madman to open it later. If something comes out, I'll make something for Zi Xi."
Hearing the words 'heart-shaped stone', the corners of Li Jie's mouth twitched slightly.
A world away, this joke can't be passed, right?
How could it be transmitted from the actor himself to Wu Di?
“It’s really good.”
Li Jie said against his will: "Actually, I don't think you need to cut this stone, just give it to Yang Zixi directly."
"Heart-shaped stones are relatively rare."
"Moreover, if you don't cut it, you will have a sense of unknown. If you cut it, you will lose that feeling."
"Eh?"
"That sounds like the same thing as you said."
Hearing this, Wu Di seemed to be awakened and nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Meng, what you said makes sense."
"Let's go."
Just at this moment, Li Jie had picked out the stone. What he picked was a water stone. The so-called water stone refers to some jadeite rough stones that fell into the water after the movement of the earth's crust.
After the passage of time and the erosion of the river bed, the sand and gravel represented by the jadeite rough stone have been almost washed away.
Smooth surface is one of the characteristics of water stone.
"Pay the bill."
Seeing the stone that Li Jie brought over, the clerk's expression changed slightly.
She is very familiar with this stone.
After all, she stuffed it into the pile of stones herself after closing the store last night. How could she not be familiar with it?
If the clerk glanced at Li Jie meaningfully, she wouldn't know whether Li Jie was lucky or if he really had the ability.
However, this has nothing to do with her.
Since such a stone was placed, of course it was bought by others.
"Three hundred dollars."
"for you."
Li Jie handed the cash he had prepared to the clerk, and then took Wu Di to the Jieshi District at the back.
He bought this stone just to change directions, so naturally he had to untie it on the spot.
After a while, the two came to Jieshi District and saw the madman again. However, the madman's expression was completely different from before.
The materials he bought were all cut into pieces.
All died in battle.
Thirty thousand yuan, just wasted.
In fact, Cheng Feng was unhappy not because he felt bad about money. Thirty thousand yuan was not a big sum of money to him.
What he cares about is face.
In front of two women, not even a single good thing came out, which was really a bit embarrassing.
