"This material has reached the bottom of a waxy ice, with a purple tint."
"The planting water in the corner should be better, but we still need to make a profit... Look, the entrance should be a Massa entrance."
Li Shi and Lu Congwei went to the market. He said very little and mainly listened to what Lu Congwei said, while he studied on the sidelines with a humble attitude.
He originally had three purposes for this trip: the first was to meet Chen Qiuye, the second was to meet Chen Yao and make some money to expand shipping channels, and the third was to continue to increase his knowledge accumulation in jade through practice.
If he only appraises and evaluates finished jadeite, he is now confident that he has reached the proficiency level. But if he adds raw stones, as well as raw materials, blanks, etc. in semi-finished products, then he has just started and has not yet reached (entry+). There is still more to learn. a lot of.
Li Shi's goal is to continuously accumulate knowledge and experience in this area while making money through jade. When the feeling level reaches (proficient +) or even (proficient -), he will go to the learning panel to learn, and then he will get three upgrades in one fell swoop. attribute points!
While visiting the market, he also secretly paid attention to it, and made a purchase once in a while, buying a spring ribbon and colorful pendant.
The thing is very small, only half the size of a finger, relatively thin, and generally has the texture of waxy ice.
What he was interested in was the pink-purple color in the middle. The color was very beautiful, reaching the level of pure ice, close to high ice. He deliberately took it outside to check under natural light and made sure it would not lose its color before buying it for a small price of 10,000 yuan.
Although it was just a little bit of ice seed, he was already happy to be able to buy the pink and purple he wanted.
On the market, glass-grown violets are almost extinct, and purple jade has always been lighter in color the better the planting water. Even the legendary "Zhaoyi Star" worth hundreds of millions cannot escape "death" under natural light. situation, I heard that many people were very disappointed after seeing the real thing.
The two of them strolled until the market closed their stalls before returning to a nearby hotel.
Li Shi opened a new room on the same floor of the hotel where Lu Congwei lived.
After checking in, he checked around and found that although this hotel was a better hotel nearby, its hygiene was average. Not to mention the sanitation in the corner was not clean, and the air in the room was a bit dirty.
Li Shi turned on all the windows and the exhaust fan in the bathroom for ventilation, and then took out a notebook from his bag to record his thoughts from the afternoon shopping.
This is a study habit he has developed over the past six months.
His writing speed used to be normal. Even though his physical fitness improved, he still maintained the writing speed of a normal person. But since he learned sketching and no one was around, his writing speed started to be the same as drawing, and he couldn't help but become much faster. Swish, the writing is flying.
Sometimes I accidentally poke a small hole in the paper.
Ten minutes later, Li Shi stopped writing, put the notebook back into his bag, and took out the only physical book he brought this time - "Advanced Sketching Tutorial: Nick Ledice Teaching Method" and continued to read carefully.
After a while, the doorbell rang, and it was Lu Congwei who came over.
As soon as Lu Congwei entered the door, he saw the books on the coffee table and couldn't help but said: "You are really the young man who loves reading and studying the most I have ever seen. With your enthusiasm for learning, I think you can do any profession." Success means, don't you feel tired? You just spent the afternoon shopping, and you read such a thick book as soon as you got back to the hotel."
Li Shi smiled and said, "You're not tired. I have good energy. Do you want to set off now?"
I had made an appointment with Chen Yao a long time ago to visit her company's live broadcast base in the evening, and then go to dinner together to enjoy the nightlife here.
"Let's go. It's been a tiring day. Let's relax in the evening. There are many beauties among the female employees in Chen Yao's company. Let her introduce them to you later."
As the two of them went out, Lu Congwei continued to joke: "But I think she might want to introduce herself to you most. Brother, you are rich at a young age. The key is that you are so handsome. Tsk, which woman?" Aren’t you greedy after seeing it?”
Li Shi smiled and changed the subject and asked: "Brother, how do you and Mr. Chen know each other? I feel like you two have an unusual relationship."
Lu Congwei said: "My relationship with her is indeed unusual, but it has nothing to do with men and women. I have known her for more than ten years and are old friends. You may not believe it, but we met on Tieba."
Li Shi was stunned: "Post it?"
Lu Congwei: "Yes, Tieba. In 2008, she and I exchanged information about jade and jade on Tieba. At that time, I didn't expect that there was a girl under the age of twenty on the other side of the network cable. And she was very generous at that time. Later we added QQ, and once she actually asked me to help her buy a piece of jadeite for less than 50,000 yuan in Ruili. That was 50,000 yuan more than ten years ago..."
On the way to the live broadcast base, Lu Congwei introduced to Li Shi how he met Chen Yao with emotion.
"I watched her step by step in this industry."
Lu Congwei smiled and said: "Of course, her success, in addition to her own hard work, is mainly due to the relatively strong financial support behind her, and the timely capture of the online sales cake."
Li Shi listened silently. At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Chen Qiuye who sent the message: "When I was chatting with my sister-in-law just now, I found that she was quite bored alone in Tanzhou. Aren’t you going to stay here in Dongguang Province for a few days this time? How about I ask her to come and play with me? "
Li Shi blinked.
Sister-in-law naturally refers to Wang Yuelan.
He knew that the last time Chen Qiuye went to Tanzhou or even Zhaoyang County, the two got along very well.
Without thinking too much, he replied: "Okay, but if you are busy with work recently, you don't have to worry about her."
Chen Qiuye: "Okay, I'll take care of it then (kiss)."
Li Shi: "Okay"
Putting away his cell phone, Lu Congwei arrived at the right place and stopped talking. The two got out of the car and saw a high-rise building appearing in front of them.
Looking around, there are not many cars and pedestrians on the road. This place should be newly developed. Everything looks very new.
Lu Congwei came here once yesterday and led the way. The two of them took the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
"This place is their new live broadcast base. I heard that the previous place was near the hotel where we stayed. Because of the good development and more and more people in the company, we changed to a bigger place."
"You will be shocked when you see it later. Chen Yao said that time was too late and there was no time to decorate it, so he just made a rough style here. A group of beauties were live broadcasting in the rough room. The scene was quite interesting, haha. .”
blank?
Soon, Li Shi knew what the rough style Lu Congwei was talking about.
Even the hard furnishings such as floors, walls, ceilings, etc. are only painted with cement, but the soft furnishings are complete, including curtains, tables, chairs, sofas, electrical appliances, and various office supplies.
Chen Yao knew they were coming, came out to greet them, and then led them into a live broadcast room.
After Li Shi came in, he looked around.
The space is not small. There is a long table in the middle. Various jade products are placed in the middle of the table. There are computers and various mobile phone stands next to it. Several staff members are sitting around, doing preparations before the live broadcast.
In addition to a few lamps and lighting panels, there is also a large screen around. Chen Yao said that it is used by the anchor to watch the barrage during the live broadcast. If there are many people in the live broadcast room, the barrage will be refreshed very quickly. The mobile phone screen is small and it is difficult for the eyes. Easy to see flowers.
Li Shi observed very seriously. He used to often watch live broadcasts selling jadeite and Hetian jade, so he was very curious about the real situation in the live broadcast room. Moreover, he also had the mentality of gaining knowledge and learning - everything he encountered in life. New things are accumulated first, maybe they can be used in any learning project in the future.
If he had any doubts, he asked Chen Yao for advice on the spot.
"Mr. Chen, tell me about the lighting you pay for live broadcasts."
Chen Yao saw that he was so interested and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you have any ideas about selling goods via live broadcast? We can cooperate!"
Li Shi shook his head: "Not at all, at least not yet, just out of curiosity."
Lu Congwei, who was standing next to him, interjected and joked with Chen Yao: "Don't just catch a big boss and want to join your cooperation team. My brother's business is not just about jade... Moreover, if he wants to do it, he will only do high-end products." Jade, you can cooperate in this aspect in the future.”
Chen Yao immediately smiled and said: "Of course that's good. If there are still high-end products like today, Mr. Li, you can definitely think of me."
This is the third time today that she has said something similar.
There is no other way, there are too few top-quality jadeite supplies nowadays.
Li Shi smiled and nodded.
Chen Yao was about to continue introducing her. After thinking about the phone for a moment, she picked it up and took a look. Then she looked regretful and said, "As for the live broadcast of goods, let our beautiful anchor Qiao Qiao continue to introduce it to you. Suddenly I have It’s an urgent matter, I need to go to the office to deal with it first.”
As she spoke, she waved and called to a beautiful woman with a slim figure and well-groomed clothes.
After a few brief introductions, Chen Yao left in a hurry.
This Qiao Qiao is one of the sales anchors in their studio. Her real name is Qiao Qiao, a girl in her mid-twenties.
She was always in the room. After Chen Yao went out, she generously continued the introduction of the previous topic:
"Mr. Li, to be honest, what is captured by the camera must be better than what is seen with the naked eye. We will even proactively point this out to netizens during the live broadcast. Of course, we will use it when talking about it. Some conversational tips.”
"Look, these bracelets, pendants and ring faces on the table are the sales goods we prepared for tonight's live broadcast. With the lights on both sides, even if the beauty function is not turned on, they are... more beautiful than the real thing. Being more transparent is equivalent to extra points for planting water.”
Li Shi reached out to take a look at the goods on the table.
Qiao Qiao stood next to him to introduce, and immediately caught sight of the watch on his left wrist. She couldn't help but pause. Although she continued quickly, she couldn't help but look at it quietly.
Because she was so close, she could see clearly. The dial of that watch was a blue starry sky. She recognized the English word on it, Patek Philippe.
Although her main business now is selling jade, Qiao Qiao actually prefers wearing watches to jade bracelets in private, and like most materialistic girls, she likes luxury goods.
Not long ago, she just spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a Chanel J12 watch. Now she wears it almost every day. Now the watch is placed in her bag. After work is finished, the next broadcast will be released. Will wear it later.
After Li Shi satisfied his thirst for knowledge about Jade Online Sales Live Broadcast, he politely thanked the girl who looked very comfortable, and then exited with Lu Congwei.
Then he walked around for a while, and finally came to Chen Yao's office.
Chen Yao had already finished her work and made tea for the two of them. After sitting for a while, she went to open the safe in the office and took out the high-quality goods inside. The three of them drank tea and tasted it.
On Qiao Qiao's side, after Li Shi and the others left, she thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and found the profile picture of her friend Wang Yusi who knew the most about watches in WeChat. She quickly edited a message and sent it: "Sisi, Are you busy? Let me ask you something. Did you know that Patek Philippe has a watch with a starry sky pattern on its dial?"
Wang Yusi: "Of course I know. People who like watches generally know about the famous Patek Philippe Starry Sky."
Qiao Qiao was stunned, I also like watches, why didn’t I know?
But this time she didn't argue with her good friend, and typed quickly and asked: "Can you find a picture for me to see?"
Wang Yusi: "Wait a minute, I'll send you a link."
Soon, the other party sent the link, and Qiao Qiao clicked it after receiving it. After a while, her eyes widened.
So expensive? !
At this time, her friend Wang Yusi sent another WeChat message: "Did you see that, damn woman, why are you asking this all of a sudden? With the little money you earn, you may not be able to afford this watch even if you haven't eaten or drank for ten years." ah."
Qiao Qiao blinked and did not answer.
Wearing a multi-million dollar watch, then Mr. Li’s net worth...
Watches are not cars or houses. You can buy a watch worth millions, and your wealth should be on the same level as those rich people who buy millions of collectible jade. According to her understanding, most wealthy people, even those with a net worth of tens of millions, are rarely willing to spend millions to buy a piece of jade. Even if they do, most of them keep it in a safe to collect family heirlooms. .
Except for important occasions, it is generally not worn.
"In addition to his good looks and gentle temperament, he doesn't look like a stupid son of a nouveau riche."
"If the watch is real, then how rich their family must be."
"When they were chatting before, I thought Sister Yao was being polite. After all, Mr. Li looks too young."
…
After reading the contents of the safe in Chen Yao's office, Li Shi had a better understanding of her strength and the strength of their company.
This safe is just one of their several safes. This female boss is indeed very powerful as Lu Congwei said.
"He is also a good person in the industry. After contacting him today, I feel that he is relatively easy to deal with and is a potential high-quality cooperation partner."
Li Shi weighed it in his heart.
Next, the three of them went to a restaurant booked by Chen Yao for dinner. At the dinner table, they talked a lot about the Jieyang public sale and made an appointment to go there together tomorrow.
After eating, Chen Yao said that they were tired from visiting the market today and arranged to wash their feet and relax first.
The foot-washing service here in Dongguang Province is roughly the same as that in Tanzhou, but there are some differences. Li Shi has experienced it.
…
When it was past eleven o'clock, Li Shi felt that time was almost up. He suggested that he should stop here today and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest (study), but was dragged by Chen Yao and Lu Congwei to a luxuriously decorated hotel. During the singing in the club, Chen Yao originally wanted to order the princess girl to serve, but was stopped by Lu Congwei. Finally, she called some employees from her company to join in the fun, including Qiao Qiao, who had just left the show.
Li Shi was not very interested in singing. He was originally sitting on the sidelines watching Lu Congwei, the Maiba, crying and howling, shaking his head, eating fruit and playing with his mobile phone. When Qiao Qiao came in, this girl actually stood directly next to him. Sit down and chat enthusiastically.
He wanted to be idle, so he chatted with her.
There is a lot of noise in the box, and when the two parties are communicating, they inevitably have to get closer. If Lu Congwei, a bully with a duck voice, is singing, sometimes he has to bite his ears if he wants to hear clearly what the other party is saying.
Li Shi's hearing naturally does not need to be like this, but he has never shown any abnormality easily outside, so when a girl talks close to his ear, after realizing it, he will also close to her delicate ear when he replies. explain.
Qiao Qiao's facial features are very beautiful. At first glance, she looks a little like the Taiwan star Zhang Junning. But upon closer inspection, she doesn't look much like her. Today she is wearing a gold knitted suspender dress with a translucent black round neck top underneath. The bottom shirt is very slim-fitting, and it completely brings out the slim S figure, especially because her capital is much richer than that of Zhang Junning.
I don't know if it was intentional or not. When she spoke, she would put her mouth close to Li Shi's ear, but her whole body would come closer every time, pressing into Li Shi's arm like cotton, making him a little angry.
No matter how strong-minded a man is, he can't stand this kind of distant but continuous physical contact.
"Mr. Li, I see that you are not interested in singing either. How about we both play games together?"
Over there, Lu Congwei and Chen Yao were singing "Happy Flowers and Full Moon Night" duet, and Qiao Qiao whispered something in Li Shi's ear.
Li Shi felt bored at first, so he took out his mobile phone and added her as a WeChat friend, and then started a game of Honor of Kings.
During the second game, a few more people who didn’t like singing joined in.
But this time, Li Shi didn't add them as friends, they were all people directly attracted by Qiao Qiao.
After singing, everyone went to have a midnight snack and played until 2:30 in the morning before leaving.
It was almost three o'clock in the night when we returned to the hotel. Li Shi came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and was about to go to bed when he found an unread WeChat message from Qiao Qiao on his phone: "Mr. Li, are you asleep? I'm very happy to meet you today!" (cute)"
Li Shi took his mobile phone, leaned against the bedside, and replied: "Not yet, it's nice to meet you too."
Then I clicked on her Moments and saw the signature on the cover of her Moments at a glance:
Women, don't stay under others for a long time.
