Chapter 389

Tang Qi got off the plane and took a taxi with the girl to their small shop. At this time, Tang Qi knew her name was Li Yan. At present, she works in the workshop run by her father.

Zhong Yaxin said, "like you, I'm in my father's jewelry store."

"But now our store is basically on the verge of bankruptcy. This time, I'm going to see if there are any opportunities for development, but I still can't achieve anything. I'm really useless." Li Yan said with a bitter smile.

"Are you looking for a cooperative manufacturer?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "our family is mainly engaged in the front work of gemstones, and then we are looking for a jewelry store to sell our semi-finished products. However, in recent years, the raw stone business here has been occupied by the Wang family and the antique family, so we have to buy expensive raw stones from them. But the jewelry store refused to raise the purchase price, so we really can't operate."

Because of the monopoly of the two companies, these small businessmen can only buy the raw stones at a high price, and they are not of good quality. They are likely to buy some waste products. Coupled with the squeeze from the jewelers, many of their peers can only declare bankruptcy, so the annexation of the two companies is even more rampant.

Tang Qi frowned: "it's too much."

Zhong Yaxin sighed: "the jewelry market is like this. The law of the jungle and will do a lot of unscrupulous things in order to survive. At present, suhai's jewelry market is still normal, but they will do so for a long time. I'm afraid my father's business is the beginning of the ancient wind's preparation for annexation."

Tang Qi nodded. Gu Feng is really greedy. A market as big as Hong Kong is not enough. He even wants to occupy Su Hai! While talking, their car had come to a small gem processing shop in the suburbs.

The houses here are very dilapidated. The walls of the two floors have been peeled off, and the whole floor is lit with dim yellow lights. It is made like a car wash. There are workers working, so the sound of water spraying comes from time to time, and the water flows directly down a slope into the sewer crossing.

"We will wash the raw stones on the first floor and then transport them to the second floor for cutting and sorting," Li Yan said

Tang Qixin said that this craft is really primitive enough. It is basically done manually. Li Yan led them in and saw two workers carrying a large mesh dustpan. The diameter of this thing was about two meters. On it were some black broken stones like sand. There were at least ten kilograms of broken stones, mixed with soil and broken stones. Seeing Li Yan, she smiled and said hello: "Miss, are you back?"

"Yes, where's my father?"

"Grinding the original stone upstairs."

Tang Qi glanced at the things inside and suddenly felt a move in his heart. At this time, Zhong Yaxin asked curiously what it was?

Li Yan said, "this is also the original stone."

Zhong Yaxin thought that the original stones were all blocks of dozens of kilograms. Unexpectedly, there would be such a small thing. She couldn't help being very curious. Li Yan explained: "now there are fewer and fewer raw stones with good quality that we can come in, so my father asked us to make use of these leftovers and wash them well. Maybe we can find something in them."

"It's a big area here," said Zhong Yaxin, looking around.

Li Yan said, "well, there were more than a dozen workers at the best time of business here, and now there are only two or three left. And sometimes the salary can't be paid to them on time. Fortunately, they don't dislike it." she sighed and looked very lonely.

Tang Qi stopped them at this time: "wait a minute, I want to see these broken stones."

"We have checked all the things here. There is nothing."

Tang Qi touched his hand inside, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's a pity that there are beads. Take the dustpan and we'll wash it." he said, looked for it, found a water pipe nearby and walked over.

The two workers thought they could get off work. Who knows, they were stopped by an inexplicable person. Of course, they were a little unhappy. They looked at Li Yan together: "Miss, look at this... We have to go to dinner."

"You go, we can." Zhong Yaxin said and began to roll up her sleeves. Li Yan was a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to delay them from work, so she agreed. She and Zhong Yaxin came to Tang Qi with a dustpan.

Tang Qi flushed the water from the faucet. The water pressure was very high. The two girls couldn't stand such a big impact. They all went back a few steps and sprayed water all over.

"It's all right, I didn't mean it." Tang Qi quickly grabbed the edge of the dustpan with his hand, inadvertently looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. The two girls' clothes were wet, so they were tightly attached to them, and their body shape was particularly slim.

"Well, isn't it hard?" Li Yan asked.

Tang Qi smiled and nodded: "good, good."

Zhong Yaxin looked down, spat and said, "what a bad guy, don't look." she stretched out her hand and pushed his face aside.

"But where did the gravel come from?" Tang Qi asked.

"My father bought it from Sri Lanka. There used to be a lot of gem mines there. Later, they were abandoned and shelved after mining. My father spent $5000 to buy a cart of gravel and sand and put them in the back. In fact, it has been put in the back for several years. But recently, because the sound is difficult to do, he washed these things to see if there are any findings. It's only today It's the next day. It seems that there's nothing to gain. "

As they spoke, the water had washed out two-thirds of the sediment, leaving only a little bottom. Zhong Yaxin looked at the black and brown stones inside: "don't bother. There should be no gemstones."

Tang Qi's hand touched them gently: "I have found that there are precious stones here."

"Where?"

Tang Qi turned off the water. A man took the dustpan and shook it hard. A pile of stones flew up and fell back into the dustpan again. Then Zhong Yaxin saw the highest purple spar flying and said in surprise, "I found it!"

About a purple jade as big as go fell into Li Yan's hand. It was crystal clear and full of water. It was very beautiful. Tang Qi said with a smile, "Yong Rong is noble and purple. It is indeed a boutique among purple Jadeites. Red Jadeites and green Jadeites are purple. Congratulations."

Li Yan held the emerald stone in her hands and said for a long time, "I don't know how much I can sell?"

Zhong Yaxin said, "it's a pity that your original stone is too small, but with the quality of ice above, I estimate it can sell for at least two million."

Li Yan sighed: "it's a pity. Although it can sell for a lot of money, it's still a drop in the bucket for us."

"Do you want the original wholesale right?"

"Yes! My father doesn't want to be a secondary agent. He wants to buy goods directly like antique and boss Wang. But at least 50 million. It's a sky high price for us."

Zhong Yaxin: "not necessarily. Didn't you say you had a truck of these earth materials? It's better to clean them well. Maybe you can find something more valuable. You can make a fortune."

Li Yan said with a wry smile, "since it's waste, these are also missed fish. This opportunity is very rare. Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your good words. I also hope to be rich."

"Where's your original stone? I want to see if it's ok?" Tang Qi said with a smile.

"In the warehouse upstairs, I'll take you to see my father." Li Yan went upstairs with the stone in her hand. Zhong Yaxin whispered to Tang Qi, "how many raw stones can be washed out of their waste soil?"

Tang Qi said: "it's estimated that there are not many. Besides, whether we want to complete the tasks given to us by the ancient style, or mainly focus on large gemstones and raw stones."

"Tang Qi, I feel more and more that ancient customs are deliberately harming us."

"Yes, he himself controls nearly half of the original stones in Hong Kong, but gives the money to your father to buy them. Nine times out of ten, he knows that he can't finish the character and is ready to find a chance to swallow your Zhong's jewelry."

Gu Feng is very good at picking the time. I'm afraid it's no accident to sign a contract with Wei Zifeng before he takes all his money out to buy the gold in his hand. His plan succeeds. Zhong's bankruptcy is divided up, and Gu Feng will smoothly occupy suhai's jewelry market. This time, he lures Mi Qilin to make a guarantee. In this way, once Tang Qi can't gather up the original stones before next Wednesday, Michelin is going bankrupt, too.

Zhong Yaxin worried, "I can't trouble the rice family."

"Don't worry, everything is uncertain." Tang Qi patted her on the shoulder.

They followed Li Yan into the room and saw a gray haired middle-aged man looking carefully with a magnifying glass in the light

It's a slap in the face stone and looks very serious. This is a semi-finished stone. The outer skin should be a jasper, but the quality is difficult to determine.

Li Yan said, "Dad..."

"I'm busy here. I'll talk later. You go out first." he said without raising his head.

Li Yan looked at Tang Qi and Zhong Yaxin in embarrassment: "sorry, my father is such a character. He has only stones in his mind."

Tang Qi smiled and walked to the man. He saw him holding a marker on the stone and hesitated. He didn't know where to draw the line. Once the marking is wrong, it is likely to destroy a complete jade. So he was embarrassed.

Tang Qi's hand crossed his shoulder and gently scratched along the lines above.

"Cut down here and you'll get two Jasper."

The man was startled and looked at him suspiciously: "who are you?"

"Dad, he's a businessman who came to sell raw stones with us. His name is..." Li Yan said half. Suddenly she remembered that she forgot to ask his name.

"My name is Tang Qi. I'm from Su Hai."

The man looked at Tang Qi in his early twenties and immediately wondered how such a person could do such a business. He's not kidding! It's unreliable for this little young man to cooperate! Where did my daughter find such a person. Thinking of this, he suddenly changed his face, and then said coldly, "young man, don't be strong. Are you sure the grain you choose is true? It's not a joke."

"I naturally understand. It's better that you cut according to my grain. No problem. Keep this gem yourself. There's really a problem. I'll buy this original stone."

The man frowned and said, "do you really have such great self-confidence? I have studied this stone for several days and dare not cut it. You know, once it goes wrong, there are millions of things. I won't lose money to you."

"Don't worry, in order to show that I really want to cooperate with you, I'm still willing to try this risk."

"OK! Come with me." the man stood up with the stone and walked to the next room.

Li Yan was a little embarrassed. What if Tang Qi really made a wrong judgment and suffered a loss.

"I'll talk to my father."

"It doesn't matter. Since you say it, you have this confidence." Tang Qi said with a smile.
