"Yes." Cheng Feng said matter-of-factly.
"It's hard to come here, so of course I have to bring some souvenirs."
"Besides, this thing is not expensive."
"By the way, you and Xiao Meng are here at the right time. You two can each pick one, and I'll pay for it." As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed towards the table in the hall.
"never mind."
"I don't have to." Li Jie shook his head. He didn't want to be burdened with Cheng Feng's favor. However, one thing to say is that this store is not too bad. At least the prices are clearly marked, although the quality of the items is a bit inferior.
But he's a real guy anyway. Just now, he took a cursory glance at the things Cheng Feng bought. How should I put it, the things were all genuine, genuine jade.
However, things are not that good. It's probably the kind of thing where the materials are not worth the work.
"Me too." Wu Di was too embarrassed to continue spending Cheng Feng's money. No one's money comes from a flood, even though the madman is rich.
But if someone is rich, what does it have to do with him? I always take advantage of others, which makes me feel uneasy.
"Okay." Cheng Feng nodded without forcing it. Then he turned to look at the counter.
"Pay the bill."
"Can I swipe my card?"
"Yes, sir." The clerk replied with a standard business smile, but compared to ordinary people, her smile towards Cheng Feng was a little more kind.
Can you not be kind? In just a short time, this man bought something worth tens of thousands of yuan, and from the look on his face, he didn't seem to feel distressed at all.
The clerk wanted to invite Cheng Feng to take a look at the boutique area at the back. Who wouldn’t like a customer like a rich novice?
"These things total thirty-one thousand and eighty, so I'll give you a zero and only take thirty-one thousand."
"Sure." Hearing this number, Cheng Feng had no idea. It only cost more than 30,000 yuan to buy such a bunch, which was extremely cheap.
Moreover, the clerk gave him a zero, which made him feel like he had earned a profit.
"Swipe your card." Immediately, Cheng Feng took out an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China card. On the other side, Li Jie did not continue to stay at the counter, but walked around the store. As expected, most of the items on display outside were kilograms of ingredients.
Not worth the money. Of the cost per kilogram of material, freight is the bulk, but the material itself is worthless. However, as Li Jie said before, this store is not a shady store. There are still some high-quality products in the stall outside.
For a store with a fixed address like this, if you open the door to do business, you won't catch people and trick them to death. Put a few high-quality products among a defective product, and occasionally let others pick up a few small leaks. In this way, you can at least restore some reputation.
Anyway, it's just a small leak, only tens of thousands of things at most. Compared with the daily turnover, this small amount of money is nothing.
Since ancient times, the jade industry has been a fairly closed circle. Even in the Internet age, the sales channels of the jade industry have become more and more diversified, but this fact has not changed.
Take jade as an example. Almost all fine jade is produced in Myanmar. As long as the source is controlled, the circle will naturally be closed.
Stories like those popular among the people about getting rich, such as spending tens of thousands of dollars and getting something worth tens of millions, are basically impossible.
Good materials are basically in the hands of those mine owners. Once the materials with good surface performance are mined, the mine owner can directly cut the stone and cut it with a knife, and the quality of the materials can be clearly seen at a glance.
Then, those high-quality jade materials are either sealed by the mine owners or sent to the jade public market for auction.
Therefore, the jadeite on the public market is all clear material and semi-clear material, and there is no such thing as full gambling material. As for the total gambling materials circulating on the market, some are introduced by jade merchants who have good relations with the mine owners, and some are collected by local people in Myanmar through various means.
Most of this part of jade is mid- to low-grade jade, and high-quality jade materials are rare. Most of the items in this store are purchased in bulk from upstream jade merchants.
"Xiao Meng, the madman is picking rocks over there, why don't you go and take a look?" While Li Jie was picking rocks, Wu Di suddenly came to him.
"I'll pick first, and then I'll go over after I've made my selection." Wu Di said in surprise: "Do you understand this?"
"How do I understand this?" Li Jie smiled and shook his head: "I just have a chance to see if I see the right person."
"And you?"
"Have you chosen yet?"
"You've picked it." Wu Di took out a small piece of wool the size of a baby's fist.
"Look, that's it. Doesn't it look good?"
"This stone is still heart-shaped. When the madman opens it later, I will open it. If something comes out, I will make something for Zi Xi." Hearing the words 'heart-shaped stone' , Li Jie's mouth twitched slightly.
A world away, this joke can't be passed, right? How could it be transmitted from the actor himself to Wu Di?
"It's indeed pretty good." Li Jie said against his will: "Actually, I don't think you need to cut this stone, just give it to Yang Zixi directly."
"Heart-shaped stones are relatively rare to begin with."
"Moreover, if you don't cut it, you will feel a sense of unknown. If you cut it, you will lose that feeling."
"Eh?"
"That sounds like what you said." Hearing this, Wu Di seemed to be awakened and nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Meng, what you said makes sense."
"Let's go." At this moment, Li Jie picked out the stone. What he picked was a water stone. The so-called water stone refers to some jadeite rough stones that fell into the water after the movement of the earth's crust.
After the passage of time and the erosion of the river bed, the sand and gravel represented by the jadeite rough stone have been almost washed away.
Smooth surface is one of the characteristics of water stone.
"Pay the bill." Seeing the stone Li Jie brought over, the clerk's expression changed slightly. She is very familiar with this stone.
After all, she stuffed it into the pile of stones herself after closing the store last night. How could she not be familiar with it? If the clerk glanced at Li Jie meaningfully, she wouldn't know whether Li Jie was lucky or if he really had the ability.
However, this has nothing to do with her. Since such a stone was placed, of course it was bought by others.
"Three hundred dollars."
"Here you go." Li Jie handed the cash he had prepared to the clerk, and then took Wu Di to the Jieshi District at the back.
He bought this stone just to change direction, so naturally he had to untie it on the spot. After a while, the two came to Jieshi District and saw the madman again. However, the madman's expression was completely different from before.
The materials he bought were cut into pieces. All killed. Thirty thousand yuan, just wasted. In fact, Cheng Feng was unhappy not because he cared about money. Thirty thousand yuan was not a big sum of money to him.
What he cares about is face. In front of two women, not even a single good thing came out, which was really a bit embarrassing.
