Liu Hai carefully looked at Master Liu who was wiping the stone cutter. Book friend uploaded *** This is a capable man in his thirties or forties, with a Chinese character face, short hair, thin, yellow skin, and wearing dark blue work clothes.
, it gives people the impression that they are once-technically capable talents!
Soon Boss Wang's piece of jadeite was sold for 12.5 million. Liu Hai heard the people next to him comment that this was the largest transaction in the past week.
And the pot-bellied and bald boss Wang didn't break his promise and wrapped a big red envelope for Master Liu. Liu Hai didn't know the exact amount of money in the red envelope, but with Liu Hai's amazing eyesight, he could see from dozens of meters away.
The red envelope is bulging, I think it must be quite a lot.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Hai ran to a place that sold rough stones by the pound. The rough stones sold by the pound were the worst among all the rough stones. They were basically scraps. It was obvious that they were just to make money from those who were curious about stone gambling and didn’t know anything about it.
Money from tourists who don’t understand and don’t have any spare money.
"Brother, come and see, the rough stones here are the cheapest in Tengchong! One hundred yuan a pound! Yesterday, someone bought a stone from me for three hundred yuan, and everything changed hands for five hundred yuan over there.
How about selling it for 10,000 yuan? Do you want to try your luck?"
The stall owner made up a story to greet Liu Hai, but Liu Hai didn't say anything and just smiled stupidly at the boss who was talking about nonsense.
Knowing that this boss regards him as a target for killing, the "yesterday" that the boss likes the most is probably something he does every day.
Liu Hai randomly selected a stone that was as big as three palms. It actually weighed five kilograms. After paying five hundred yuan, Liu Hai held the stone and walked towards the direction where Master Liu was cutting the stone.
Ever since he helped Boss Wang cut out the sky-high-priced jadeite, the number of people looking for Master Liu to cut stones suddenly increased dramatically. When Liu Hai arrived, there were already more than a dozen stone cutters lined up in front of him.
Liu Hai was not idle, he just waited in line and watched others cutting stones. After all, there are only a few people who can cut out jade, and the number of people who can cut out good jade is even more pitiful.
With the cutting and boasting again and again, when it was Liu Hai's turn, Master Liu had already cut fifteen stones in a row, of which he could barely break even three of them, and cut and boasted twelve stones. And none of them had increased.
Everyone agreed that it seemed that Master Liu's luck had been exhausted on Boss Wang's piece of top-quality jadeite. After cutting several rough stones in succession, the number of people looking for Master Liu to cut stones gradually became less and less.
"Master Liu, help me cut this piece." Liu Hai handed over the stone he bought.
"Okay, the stone cutting fee is one hundred." Master Liu's voice didn't have much emotion, it was completely a work-style conversation.
Liu Hai took out a hundred yuan and handed it over. The result of cutting the stone was naturally obvious. There was nothing inside the stone bought for five hundred yuan.
For the entire day, Liu Hai wandered around a street in the city, watching others bet on stones while paying attention to the information he wanted.
At noon and afternoon, Liu Hai spent another 700 yuan to buy two rough stones and went to Master Liu to cut the stones. Of course, nothing was cut out. However, Liu Hai took the opportunity to talk and build friendship with Master Liu every time.
A stone was brought down, and Liu Hai asked for Master Liu's phone number on the grounds that it would be easier to find Master Liu to cut stones in the future.
The next day, Liu Hai bought three rough stones at different times to go to Master Liu's set of friendships.
After many contacts, Liu Hai discovered that although Master Liu does not talk much, he is very talkative and forthright in his actions.
When Liu Hai took the seventh rough stone to find Master Liu, Master Liu suddenly persuaded Liu Hai with a few words: "Brother, I don't think your family is a very rich person. Every time you come here to cut stones,
They are all those waste stones that are sold by the pound, yes - they are waste stones. In fact, in the industry, the kind of stones that are sold by the pound are called "waste stones", which means that they are just cut into pieces. I think you are a person.
Not bad. Are you coming to Tengchong for tourism? - Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Stone gambling is sometimes more addictive than gambling. You must be careful." Master Liu sighed with emotion in his eyes: "In this industry, there are those who have lost everything.
There are too many people, ugh————”
Since Master Liu advised Liu Hai not to be obsessed with stone gambling, Liu Hai no longer buys rough stones, but he still takes time to go to Master Liu every day to watch him cut stones. During the rest of the time, Liu Hai travels throughout Tengchong County, enjoying delicious food and beautiful scenery.
I got to experience a lot of customs.
Time passed slowly, and on the fifth day after Liu Hai arrived in Tengchong, Liu Hai had already developed a certain friendship with Master Liu.
On the evening of the sixth day, when Master Liu was about to get off work, Liu Hai once again came to the place where Master Liu was cutting stones.
"Master Liu, are you off work? How was your day? How much jadeite was cut out?" Liu Hai said hello.
"Liu, you're here." Master Liu is cutting the last rough stone of the day.
"Wait a minute, let's go to my brother's house for a drink after get off work." Master Liu finally sent an invitation to Liu Hai.
"OK!"
Although Liu Hai had a purpose in contacting Master Liu at the beginning, as the contact progressed, he felt that Master Liu was a forthright and straightforward person, and he was a person to be friends with, so he approached him with the mentality of making friends.
To understand why Liu Hai put so much effort into contacting Master Liu, we have to start from the beginning.
At first, Liu Hai just thought that Master Liu was a local man with rich stone cutting experience and a very capable person. He was a very famous one among the local stone cutting masters. On the day when he cut out the sky-high-priced jadeite, Liu Hai heard someone mention Liu.
From the master’s past experience, I learned that Master Liu actually came into contact with stone cutting relatively late, and he was a late bloomer in the stone cutting industry. Master Liu’s ancestors were from a well-known traditional Chinese medicine family in Tengchong, but the inheritance was later discontinued. When he was young, Master Liu was a plucking expert.
Those who make a living from medicine often go in and out of Gaoligong Mountain to collect herbs! This is what attracted Liu Hai, so Liu Hai tried his best to contact Master Liu - because Liu Hai needed a guide in the mountain.
Although there is no danger for Liu Hai to go into the mountain alone, Gaoligong Mountain is too big. Going to find more than 60 endangered plants for Liu Hai is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So it is best for him to find a guide who is familiar with Gaoligong Mountain.
Master Liu can often go into the mountains to collect herbs, so he must be very familiar with Gaoligong Mountain.
Later, Liu Haiyou learned that Master Liu's brother-in-law worked in the Tourism Bureau - this surprised Liu Hai!
These days, Liu Hai has been looking for a kind of person in Tengchong, a person who can come into contact with the seeds of the big rhododendron tree!
