Chapter 139
Arriving at Li Cheng's Suiyuanzhai, as soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, Li Chengcheng responded. "Why are you two here now?"
Zhan Jiu replied: "Just now Xiaotian went to buy a piece of amber, and it took some time to polish it. You also know that there is no workshop where we live now, and dust is not allowed."
Li Cheng hurriedly let them in: "You too. Then come to my place and let the workers peel the skin."
Ma Xiaotian walked in and replied: "Don't. I finally got the opportunity to do it myself, and my palms are itching."
Li Cheng smiled: "I forgot about this problem. Then do you want to have fun with your brother?"
Ma Xiaotian smiled and said: "Success. Brother Li, take out any stones you want to open, and I will open them for you! For the sake of our brothers, I will definitely not charge high fees. There is a [-]% discount on normal labor, Interesting enough?"
Li Cheng laughed loudly: "You boy, you are still going straight. Go in quickly, I have prepared a good tea for you. This is what my second brother brought back from the south a while ago. It is absolutely wild tea. I know you guys Everyone likes the taste."
From the beginning of pregnancy until now, Xiaotian really hasn't touched a sip of tea.There is no tea in the villa, not even milk tea and fruit tea.Hearing Li Cheng say that there is a new wild tea today, I am very greedy. "That's good. I haven't had tea for a long time. Well, it's better to leave the hospital, whatever you want!"
Li Cheng smiled and asked: "You two can't go back for a while, and there are businesses and jobs here in the capital, don't you consider buying a house?"
Zhan Jiu replied: "I have thought about it. But I think it's inappropriate to buy a small one, and it's not worthwhile to buy a big one, and it's not worth mentioning that it will be empty for half a year. With Xiaotian's personality, I have to always think about it. So I didn't discuss it with him. "
Ma Xiaotian really thought about this for the first time: "Eh? Yes. You never told me. In fact, isn't there a dormitory over there in the studio? Just get one. After the studio moves to Hexi There are fewer people coming here. Just stay in a hotel when the time comes."
Zhan Jiu nodded: "That's right. Then go there tomorrow to see if there is any suitable one. If it's true, you have to arrange it well. You can't let your father and son live in a suitable place right after they leave the hospital."
Ma Xiaotian said with a smile: "What can he know at such an age. I think it's fine."
Li Cheng really couldn't hold back: "I said you two are also people who have mines, businesses, farms and savings. Why are you still so picky?"
Ma Xiaotian replied: "We are good at managing money. If you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately. You have to use it in a valuable place."
Zhan Jiu immediately agreed with his wife's words: "That's right."
Li Cheng hurriedly sent the two of them upstairs: "I shouldn't have talked to you about money. They're really a couple. Come on, go upstairs quickly. I'll get someone to bring those waste rocks. The amount is not too much. It didn’t meet your requirements, but most people don’t keep it, so it’s slow to collect. And it’s all told one by one, not much. But the quality of the stones is good, and you should be able to use them for carving and so on.”
Drinking fragrant tea and sipping refreshments, looking at these colorful stones, Ma Xiaotian felt that he was really amazing.If this was in the previous life, what kind of rich person would be able to whiten so many jewels and emeralds on the ground in front of him!
Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression was a little weird, Zhan Jiu leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
It was only then that Ma Xiaotian realized that he was overthinking: "Ah? Oh. No. I just think these stones are very beautiful. There is also a piece of Zhengyang green glass, although it is not big, it is enough for a set of jewelry Brother Li, thank you for your help. These stones are very useful to us. They are completely different from those brought by Bai Sheng and Zhan Feng."
Li Cheng said with a smile: "It can be the same. They only have so much spiritual power after the processing plant or energy company extracts it. I kept it as a souvenir after I gambled away. If it wasn't for the money Quite a lot, and it’s not clear if anyone is willing to sell them. But I don’t think it’s a big deal. After all, most of the high-quality emeralds and other high-grade spirit stones are in the hands of individual buyers. One day you will really be able to join If it is successful, then the price of these high-end spirit stone waste will soar. It is better to recycle more now to save money."
Zhan Jiu put down his teacup: "This is indeed what we have been doing all the time. So both the Bai's shop and Zhanfeng's shop have started to recycle. Brother Li, can you help put up a sign? Let's just say you recycle spirits. The waste stones after power absorption. They are collected according to the color and grade of the spirit stones. Xiaotian and I are discussing the price after the price. Just this matter, do you think it will work?"
Li Cheng nodded: "Of course there is no problem. I was just about to tell you about it. However, many people have asked me what I am doing for collecting these waste rocks for you. I will follow what you said. Do collecting specimens and engraving exercises. But this is the only reason, and it is not justified to buy in large quantities. You have to think of a reason."
Zhan Jiu thought for a while, and then said: "Why don't you just talk about the purpose. Just say that it was used by the sculpture school. You can also show them the works. It can be regarded as a promotion for waste stone carving."
Ma Xiaotian agrees: "That's good. Anyway, these carvings are made and sent to the exhibition hall. Some people take them out to public places, and people will pay attention to the gem carving. Besides, Bai Sheng needs to add some publicity to it, so it's better to be honest. You can take as many things as you can. Anyway, after all, everyone’s favorite is the spiritual stone with spiritual power. I’ve been thinking for the past few days that the easiest way is to personally use waste stones to customize carvings or jewelry. Since I’m leaving It’s a high-end route, so there must be only one set, right?”
Li Cheng gave a thumbs up: "Xiaotian's idea is good. What rich people like most is uniqueness. With your craftsmanship, no matter how high the processing fee is, there will be people who will support you. But that's all in the future, waiting for you." , Uh... Gemstone carving can only be done after it is approved by others. Now let’s follow Zhan Jiu’s words. I won’t accept low-quality stones. kind."
Ma Xiaotian nodded: "Yes, that's the way it should be. But it doesn't have to be uniform in color. Look at this piece of Wentian jade, although it is small in size, its color is uneven, half yellow and half green. But use it skillfully For carving, the green ones are carved into leaves, and the yellow ones are carved into cicadas, which is a very beautiful blockbuster pendant."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotian spoke clearly and logically, it seemed that this stone had already been carved in his eyes.Zhan Jiu smiled: "Then you are holding the carving?"
Ma Xiaotian picked up the stone directly: "Then what do you think? I don't worry about others. Ah, it's getting late. Hurry up and pay Brother Li, and then we can go back. Brother Qiao is still waiting."
"Is there anyone waiting for you? I still want to treat you to a meal." Li Cheng was quite regretful.
Zhan Jiu stood up first: "Our buddies are not short of a few meals, there are plenty of opportunities."
Li Cheng laughed loudly: "Come on, my brother will feel sweet when you say that. It's important for you to be serious."
On the way back, Ma Xiaotian frantically bought two bottles of high-quality fruit wine, and went to buy some ingredients.Although it was not the first time for Qiao Lun to eat with them, but before that they were mostly in the wild in the mining area, and he had never cooked a serious meal.Since he was here to see himself, Xiaofeng and their children, and there were such big things to discuss, he had to prepare a table anyway.In particular, Qiao Lun is a spirit person, unlike those Kui people who are happy when they have flesh, he has to be careful.
They bought things and returned to the villa, and Qiao Lun had arrived as expected.
"I'm sorry, Brother Qiao. I followed Brother Ninth to get the goods from Brother Li. But I haven't touched the spirit stone for a long time. When I saw a piece of amber, I couldn't help grinding it. I wasted a lot of time." Ma Xiaotian Apologize quickly.
Qiao Lun smiled: "For those of us, it's really hard not to touch the spirit stone for a long time. I understand you. Besides, I just came to see you, so don't be so polite."
Ma Xiaotian smiled and said: "That won't work, an apology is necessary. When we came back, brother Jiu and I bought some ingredients and wine. You have to stay and finish the meal tonight. I want to show my skills and cook for you. Good food on the table."
Qiao Lun did not refuse: "Then I will wait for a big meal."
Chatted for a while.Several people started a meeting in the living room.
Hearing that Zhan Jiu said that he would not participate in the shareholding, but after being able to support Huo Congting and Ying Feng, Huo Congting was a little surprised: "Why do you think so? We agreed that the three companies will work together."
Zhan Jiu replied: "It's not that I don't want to cooperate. But you also know that Xiaotian and I have just signed a mine. After that, there will be expenses for hiring labor, mining transportation, safety equipment, etc. Let Bai Sheng pay for those impossible things." ?My money over the years is put together with what Xiaotian earned from betting on stones before, and we may not be able to survive all of it. And we have also hoarded some waste rocks. These are places where money has been spent. Not crying poor, I really have no money. The price of bidding on this mine may not be very high, but it can’t be bought without hundreds of millions, right?”
Huo Congting thought for a while, and nodded: "That's true. But after all, we went to this mine together."
Qiao Lun also regretted: "It's not a big issue of money. I just think it would be unfair if you and Xiaotian didn't get involved."
Ma Xiaotian quickly waved his hand: "How could it be unfair. I was dizzy and nauseous at the time, so I couldn't have made any other contributions. It was Mr. Huo who ventured into the mining area and found the ore, which is very fair."
Qiao Lun smiled and asked Huo Congting, "Then what do you think?"
Huo Congting somewhat understood what Zhan Jiu meant.The problem of money is indeed secondary. He believes that if Zhan Jiu wants to get money out, even a loan is not a problem.He quit because he wanted to give himself an independent cooperation opportunity.After all, one more person will get one more share.Only myself and Qiao Lun, plus applying in my own name, will greatly increase my right to speak in the future.This is a gift for others, but the two brothers don't need to say any words of gratitude.The two families lived together all the time, and he was still thinking about Xiaojin being his daughter-in-law, so there was no need to be polite, and it would be good to help out if he could and was busy in the future. "Okay, let's do this. But we need to estimate the value of the mineral, and then I have to go back to Hexi and inform the two professors in charge of the laboratory and the school. This is not a big problem, and they will give support .”
Qiao Lun nodded, then stood up and extended his hand to Huo Congting: "Then, happy cooperation."
Huo Congting also stood up and shook hands with Qiao Lun: "It's a pleasant cooperation. With the support of an all-round appraiser and engineer like Brother Qiao, these water foam jades will definitely have higher value."
Seeing them like this, Ma Xiaotian also stood up: "Then in order to celebrate your success, I will go down and cook a big meal now!"
