Chapter 23 The trip to the jade shop
When he was accustomed to the green mountains and clear waters, he suddenly came to a busy city, which made people feel fresh. But for Hu Xuanzong, who went to Beijing this time, he liked the original mountain and jungle more than the urban forest built by steel and cement.
Looking at Liu Bo with excitement beside him, Hu Xuanzong, who had been to the capital in his previous life but had not stayed for much, quickly stopped a taxi and went to the manor-style hotel he found on the Internet when he was coming and going. Liu Bo, who knew that Hu Xuanzong was not short of money, naturally had no objection.
When he arrived at the hotel to check in, he saw that the price was nearly half more expensive than in Yuzhang City. Liu Bo finally understood why Hu Xuanzong said yesterday that hotels in Yuzhang City were cheaper.
It is not easy to live in a big city! When Liu Bo first arrived in the capital, he realized the meaning of this sentence!
When he walked into the room he stayed, Liu Bo also sighed: "The conditions of this room were not as good as last night, but the price was nearly half the price. It is worthy of being a Beijing city. Such a expensive room, it is enough to live in a star-rated hotel? Why do you always choose such a place?"
"I'm afraid of noisy, and I like places with many trees. The so-called star hotels are actually just that. When you make money by yourself in the future, you can also experience it. If you don't have money, stay at school honestly in the future!"
I hope to take advantage of this opportunity to come to Beijing and let Liu Bo truly experience how rich people live and consume. If they can inspire Liu Bo's fighting spirit, perhaps he will work hard after entering university.
As a brother, Hu Xuanzong could not tell Liu Bo every step he wanted to take. After all, Liu Bo's life path would depend on him to follow. The only thing Hu Xuanzong could do was to let him avoid detours as much as possible.
Seeing Hu Xuanzong carrying clothes into the bathroom, Liu Bo was lying on the TV and looked puzzled, "Take a shower again? Didn't you just take a shower in the morning? Sanlang, do you have a cleanliness obsession? Why did you suddenly love cleanliness so much?"
"Yes, okay? Is it okay? I can't learn it if I don't take a shower for three days!"
"Bad! Who are you talking about? I love clean too, okay?"
Not long after Hu Xuanzong entered the bathroom, when he looked at the text message from Chen Simiao, Liu Bo began to act as a "betrayer". Even if Liu Bo knew that Chen Simiao really cared about Hu Xuanzong, he was still happy to do something about "betraying" his brothers.
What he didn't expect was that not long after Hu Xuanzong took a shower, Ming Xueli called again. When he learned that Ming Xueli had arrived, Hu Xuanzong also said unexpectedly: "Mr. Ming, didn't you mean that you came here tomorrow?"
"Anyway, it's okay to stay at home, so I plan to stay in Beijing for one night. Also, don't you want to buy original jade? In the evening, I will take you to a place, and he has a lot of jade materials in his hand. If you want to buy it, I will recommend it to you when the time comes!"
"Okay, then thank you for getting old!"
After asking about the name of the hotel where Hu Xuanzong was staying, Ming Xueli hung up the phone after making an appointment with him. Not long after, he saw Ming Xueli and Mingting who walked into the hotel, and came to greet Hu Xuanzong out of courtesy. He was also surprised.
As if he saw Hu Xuanzong's surprise, Ming Xueli also smiled and said, "There are several antiques from the Western Zhou Dynasty in this auction. This girl is more interested in this aspect, so she came here to see it together!"
"Combining theory with practice, a good way to learn!"
Some things are clear in my heart, but it is another to say them out loud. Hu Xuanzong, who guessed some clues in his heart, asked himself that the charm should not be that great, so he would not let Ming Xueli use his granddaughter to make a beauty plan.
More, perhaps he hopes to use the young people to have common topics to bring the two sides closer. Hu Xuanzong didn't find anything strange about this. If Ming Xueli really didn't care about his ability, it would make him feel even more strange.
I accompanied the two to complete the check-in procedures and had already made an appointment with my friend Ming Xueli. I soon took Hu Xuanzong and the other two to an antique street in the capital. The scale of this antique street is naturally more lively and prosperous than the antique street in Yuzhang City.
Seeing the antiques placed on the stall, Liu Bo still sighed: "There are so many antiques!"
Ming Xueli smiled and said, "Brother, what looks old is not necessarily antiques. Just the things sold in stalls on the street are really good if one of the ten items is really good. Look, you should be careful when buying!"
"Since you know there is a fake one, then will anyone buy it?"
"Human nature is greedy! There is never a shortage of people in this world who want to get rich overnight. When you pay, you always feel that it is true and you have found a bargain. When you know what you have bought, it is useless to regret it. The rules here are that you will never return the goods if you buy it!"
Even appraisal experts like Ming Xueli have some clues. In today's antique cultural relics market, more and more people are making fakes. Those with excellent skills can often make fake things that are fake and real, and if they are not careful, they will lose all their money.
Fortunately, Hu Xuanzong knew that Liu Bo was curious to watch the fun. Even if he had something he liked, he couldn't pay the money. He might not be able to slaughter Liu Bo. Hu Xuanzong still believed this.
When I came to an antique street, a store specializing in selling jade, I saw the dazzling array of jade pieces placed on the counter. Liu Bo, who came to this place for the first time, felt his eyes wide open.
But seeing the price of each jade piece, Liu Bo couldn't help but sigh, "It's so expensive! I'm afraid I can't afford the cheapest one! Sanlang, do you really want to buy this thing?"
Ming Ting, who stood beside him, suddenly said curiously when she heard this, "Sanlang, is your nickname?"
"That's right! These are all finished jade pieces, and the jade carvings are all good, and the prices are generally fair!"
As a practitioner, Hu Xuanzong naturally knows more about jade than Liu Bo. When he started practicing in his previous life, Hu Xuanzong also bought some jade pieces. Compared to the price of jadeware when the spiritual energy was revived, jade was indeed cheaper at this time.
After chatting with the shopkeeper Ming Xueli came over and said with a smile: "Xuanzong, how about it? Do you have any jade pieces you like?"
"These are all finished products, and I don't have much interest. Compared to these processed jades, I prefer original jade!"
"Okay, let's go to the backyard to see the raw stones. My old friend is on the way here! My old friend has accumulated a lot of raw stones in the store. But you should know that before the raw stones are opened, no one knows whether there is a treasure inside.
In terms of price, I can help you get a affordable price. Maybe you can't get good jade, it depends on your ability. If you think it's not safe, there are still unprocessed jade materials in his store, but the price will be more expensive!"
"It's okay! As long as the jade is good, the price is not a problem!"
Yesterday, Hu Xuanzong, who sold a bowl of Yubaozhai and had more than 10 million yuan in funds, should be able to buy a lot of them whether they purchase raw stones or jade materials. As for gambling stones, Hu Xuanzong didn’t have much experience.
If the store really has the jade material he needs, Hu Xuanzong would rather buy the cut finished jade material. The price is more expensive, at least it is worth the money. Hu Xuanzong was not sure if he was betting on stones. After all, it is difficult for gods to break the jade!
