Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 641: Moving Fast Before Anyone Else Has A Chance To Do It
The fat middle-aged man suddenly realized why he felt that Tang Xiu was familiar when he first saw her. However, before he was 100% sure, he asked with an expression of anticipation on his face, “There is a young heavenly doctor named Tang Xiu at the China Star City Medical Hospital, as far as I know, do you… the young doctor who worked the miracle? ”
"I never thought I'd be that famous, to think that even you know names. "Tang Xiu smiled. “It's true, it's me. ”
Excited, the fat middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "It turns out it really is you, Divine Doctor Tang! Wow, I'm so lucky. I've just come here and made a big business deal with you! "
With a cute smile, Tang Xiu asked, "Since you feel lucky, can I get a bigger discount?"
"Ugh ..." The smile on the plump middle-aged man's face instantly froze. He laughed blankly and awkwardly said, "I'll miss it this time. Next time yes. I'll give you a better price when we trade again later. ”
"deal. "Tang Xiu nodded with a smile.
"You won't bet anymore because you've bought so many jade, right, Tang Xiu?" Asked Long Zhengyu.
"Why not?" Tang Xiu chuckled. “Why not have fun because the fun is there, right? Besides, maybe I'll get lucky and get back everything I spent today, right? ”
His answer left Long Zhengyu confused as to whether he should cry or laugh, and then said, "If you have luck, then why do you need to do business, then? I guess you don't need that because you can be super rich by gambling on a rock every day, right? ”
"By the way, do you want to help load it into the car while I walk around?" Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
Thinking for a while, Long Zhengyu then nodded and said, "Good with me. But remember to give me some jade articles after you carve out some jadeware, okay? "
"No problem!" Tang Xiu smiled and promised her before pulling Tang Xiaohan with him. With Long Zhengyu staying to help, he was not afraid that the middle-aged man would pull some tricks behind him.
"Hmm?" Half an hour later, Tang Xiu saw an acquaintance in a warehouse, someone he did not expect to meet here.
Just as he was about to head towards Miao Wentang, Tang Xiaohan suddenly stopped her steps and pulled Tang Xiu's hand with great difficulty.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xiu asked after turning around.
Tang Xiaohan's brows furrowed. He turned his head, pointed somewhere a few meters away and said, “It looks like there's something there, sir. It's like .. a pounding heart or something like that. ”
Whahuh?
Tang Xiu stared blankly and followed Tang Xiaohan's finger. His eyes immediately landed on a rectangular stone two meters tall and one meter wide on the floor. The cuticle layer of the stone is rather green. However, when his vision fell on the price tag on the rock below, his expression turned strange. It was written: 12 million yuan.
"Let's go over there and see!"
Pulling Tang Xiaohan in front of that block of stone, Tang Xiu used his hand to touch her and unleashed his spiritual senses. What surprised him was that he could feel something beating inside the stone. As Tang Xiaohan said, it was like a heartbeat.
What exactly is this thing?
For a moment, Tang Xiu hesitated. Then, he instantly unleashed his Primal Chaos Force to seep into the raw rock. However, after his energy seeped into the interior of the stone, he could feel the suction force from within. Although it was not strong, his Primal Chaos Force that had seeped into it was still sucked in.
"There's something unusual here!"
With a change in expression, Tang Xiu took his hand back and crouched down in front of Tang Xiaohan. There was a complex expression on his face when he asked, "What exactly is it, Xiaohan? Can you spell out how you clearly know that something is ticking inside? ”
"I don't know how either. "Tang Xiaohan shook her head. "It's just a feeling. I could feel that no one was there, but something was beating. His heartbeat may be as fast as my heart rate. ”
Is this some sort of perceptive ability?
Tang Xiu had never seen a situation like the current Tang Xiaohan. After pondering for a while, he then called the staff and asked, "How much is the base price for this raw stone?"
"All the raw stones we have here already have a base price tag, sir. Answer the staff with a smile. “If you want to buy this raw stone, you can have it for 12 million yuan. ”
"Let the deal be settled, then!" Tang Xiu nodded. "Give me your bank account number, I'll transfer the money. ”
The employee was shocked when a shocked expression immediately covered his face. After nodding in response, he smilingly said, “You really have sharp eyes, Sir. Many people set their eyes on this stone, but no one decided to buy it. Please follow me, we will complete the formalities for the inside purchase. ”
"Wait!" A white-haired old man nearby suddenly came over from a distance of seven meters. There was a fiery look in her eyes as she gently stroked the ornament thumb ring made of in his hand . Nephrite in his hand.
Tang Xiu and the staff stopped at the same time and looked at the old man.
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly as he said, “Adik, can you give this raw stone to this old man? You can rest assured that I will not let you suffer losses. I'll pay for any stone you choose in this warehouse as long as it doesn't exceed 500 thousand yuan. ”
“I don't need it. I am not short of money. "Tang Xiu shook his head.
“Senior, please don't think about using the money to make me dizzy. "Tang Xiu smiled. "I'll never give up on something I've noticed even if you give me 100 million yuan. ”
The old man took a business card from his pocket, handed it to Tang Xiu and said, “Young man, let me introduce myself. My name is Tian Jingnan, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Jade Association. I am also a jade sculptor. If you are willing to let me have this raw stone, I can introduce you to the Jade Association of our country, and I can also help you to carve out articles for free later. How about that? "
"It turns out you are Chairman Tian. "Tang Xiu smiled. "May I ask, are your carving skills really that good?"
With a confident expression, Tian Jingnan replied in a confident tone, "Although I dare not say that I am one of the best, not many people in China are more skilled than me. Someone once offered me 5 million yuan, hoping I could help him make an article, but I turned it down. In fact, I have seen this raw stone before. But since I had already bought a lot of raw stones before, the funds I had here were not enough, so I called my son to send me more money. I just didn't expect that shortly after, Little Brother liked it too. ”
"I'm so sorry . I sympathize with you but can't fulfill your request, ” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
Tian Jingnan furrowed his brows. He had not expected that he would receive such a reply after the narrative, yet this young man was still unwilling to give it to him. This situation made him feel a little angry. However, as someone who has good self-control, he does not immediately blow it up even though he is angry, and instead speaks again, “Adik, you can mention your condition. I will definitely finish it as long as I can accept it. ”
“I also have no conditions to offer. "Tang Xiu shook his head.
Finally, Tian Jingnan could not bear it anymore and said, “Young man, you bought this raw stone with the thought of gambling, right? Then what if I give you 5 million here and now and you give me this rough stone? "
Tang Xiu did not respond to him anymore as he called the staff and walked to the back.
"What's up, Chairman Tian?"
Two middle-aged men came and one of them immediately asked after seeing Tian Jingnan's angry expression.
“I have set my eyes on a piece of raw rock, but someone else unexpectedly beat me up. "Tian Jingnan smiled wryly. “I offered 5 million to give up, but he ignored me. ”
"Who can be so arrogant that he doesn't even give you face, Chairman Tian?" Ask the man, astonished.
sigh,” Tian Jingnan sighed with a help expression . "Nevermind it, sigh ," Tian Jingnan sighed with a helpless expression. “Because he won't give it to me, then I give up and that's it. Actually, I myself am not sure if there are many jade materials inside that raw stone or not. Maybe the cuticle layer on the outside is a bit green, but there is nothing else inside. ”
"Truely it!" The two men nodded simultaneously, indicating that they also agreed with him.
Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu and Tang Xiaohan came out from within. He then looked at Tian Jingnan who had yet to leave, and quietly forced a smile inside. However, since the old man did not also not speak too much, he also did not have any bad feelings for her.
With the help of the staff, some of the workers in the exhibition hall who were responsible for sending the raw stones drove the stroller and helped Tang Xiu put the raw stones on it, he said, when Tang Xiu then brought them to the warehouse where he bought the jade materials.
"Well, you just bought a piece of raw stone block, Divine Doctor Tang? This stone block looks good and has a green footprint in its outer cuticle layer. There should be ... jade in it, right? ”The fat middle-aged man greeted and commented with a smile after observing the raw stone blocks on the flat wagon.
"Who knows?" Answer Tang Xiu. “I just thought that it was very possible that this block of stone had jade or Nephrite inside, so I bought it. ”
"How much did you spend on that?" Asked the fat middle-aged man with a curious expression.
"12 million," Tang Xiu said with a smile.
"You really are a rich man, Divine Doctor Tang," the fat middle-aged man said as he raised his thumb. “You threw away over 10 million casually just to bet on this block of stone. Your courage is amazing! ”
“I just play randomly, and I won't buy too much. "Tang Xiu smiled. “By the way, I still need to trouble you, Brother, to help me deliver this thing to my place. ”
"Had, no problem," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the warehouse:
"UP! Build betting! ”
Immediately, the guests inside the hut, as well as the many people outside rushed towards the source of the sound. One can only gamble on a rock and place a bet before the stone is cut. For the convenience of many buyers, guests can cut the raw stone after buying it and see the results of their gambling methods on the spot.
Long Zhengyu seemed to be interested and said, "How about seeing it?"
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's see, then! I have seen some guests bet, but none of them caused a stir. ”
The fat middle-aged man was worried for a moment. He then gave orders to his staff and followed them, saying, “Divine Doctor Tang, do you know how I made my family fortune? Exactly through this gambling on the rock. About more than 10 years ago I went somewhere in the South region and brought 20 thousand yuan, he said, but little did I expect to accidentally find gambling at a rock event back then, and even get in on the fun. I spent over 1,000 yuan buying stone blocks, but to my surprise, the profit I got back then was thousands of times more. Long story short, it can be said that I became rich overnight, with tens of millions of yuan. ”
