Looking at the price tags on those stones, which often cost tens of thousands, Jiang Wantong couldn't make up her mind.
If he made the wrong choice, he would lose a lot of money in vain. Just thinking about it made Jiang Wantong, who was accustomed to thrift, feel heartbroken.
Seeing this, Zhang Dachuan whispered in her ear:
"Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"But in exchange, you have to make it up to me tonight."
Jiang Wantong blushed with embarrassment and punched Zhang Dachuan angrily:
"I don't want your help."
"There are so many people on site, I can get free advice from just anyone."
At this moment, a voice came from the side:
"Miss, you don't know how to choose a stone. Do you want to listen to my advice? I'm free."
Zhang Dachuan and Zhang Dachuan were suddenly stunned. They both turned to look at the owner of the voice and found that it was a man wearing a mask.
Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Zhang Dachuan's voice felt familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
Zhang Dachuan said somewhat unhappily:
"Brother, who are you? Why are you interrupting the conversation between the two of us?"
The masked man laughed when he heard this, tilted his head slightly, and took off a corner of his mask:
"Boss Zhang, you are so noble and forgetful. Can't you even hear my voice?"
Under the mask is a young and handsome face.
Looking at this face, Zhang Dachuan looked astonished:
"Are you Lin Muwen, the owner of the 'Summer Promise' bar?"
"Why are you here too?"
It turns out that the person in front of them is the owner of the bar where Zhou Qingyu, Zhao Yu and the others invited Zhang Dachuan to drink last time.
At that time, several people also had a conflict with Yu Miaomiao, and it was Lin Muwen who came to the rescue.
At that time, the other party also wanted to sell Zhang Dachuan's Xianniang Suchun wine and cooperated with Su's Winery.
Lin Muwen put on his mask again and replied with a smile:
"I prefer antique jade. I heard that today is Bai Yuxuan's semi-monthly stone appreciation meeting, so I came to join in the fun. I didn't expect to meet you, Boss Zhang, here."
"Are you also here to participate in the Stone Appreciation Conference?"
Zhang Dachuan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
He and Lin Muwen only met once, but the other party was able to recognize him by his voice. Zhang Dachuan secretly admired this ability.
Hearing Lin Muwen mention the "Stone Appreciation Conference", Zhang Dachuan shook his head and said:
"We don't know about any stone appreciation conference. We just wandered here out of curiosity and came in to have a look and buy a stone to play with."
Lin Muwen smiled:
"So that's it, then you've come to the right place today."
"Bai Yuxuan is the largest jade shop in Bailong City, and because of the stone appreciation conference, there are a lot of rough stones today. Many colleagues in the stone gambling industry will come. If this lady is not sure, you can listen to Those people’s opinions.”
When Jiang Wantong heard this, she couldn't help but ask:
"What exactly is a stone appreciation conference? Is it just looking at stones?"
Just as Lin Muwen was about to explain, there was suddenly a cry of exclamation from around him:
"I'm coming!"
"Master Qi is here!"
"Great, Master Qi is finally here!"
The three people quickly turned to look at the booth not far away, and saw a man wearing a white suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a folding fan walking out from the backstage.
The crowd became more and more restless, and many people looked at the man with admiration and talked about it.
"Master Qi Long Taiqi has been invited to this stone appreciation conference. It seems like it will be lively again."
"Yes, not everyone can hire Master Qi. Bai Yuxuan seems to have spent a lot of money this time."
"I wonder if Master Qi can still use the imperial green this time to open the eyes of mortals like me."
"Hey, that kind of thing is hard to come by, I wonder."
Hearing the imperial green, Zhang Dachuan couldn't help but take another look at Qi Longtai.
Imperial green is a kind of jadeite. It is the best among glass species and is extremely valuable. A jadeite as small as a finger can be sold for millions.
If Qi Longtai had ever produced Imperial Green, he would indeed be worthy of the title of Master. No wonder he is so popular.
At this time, Lin Muwen lowered his voice and said to Zhang Dachuan:
"This Qi Longtai was actually invited to the town by Bai Yuxuan. Bai Yuxuan will hold a stone appreciation meeting every half a month. At that time, prominent people in Bailong City will come to buy rough stones or jewelry."
"However, these people are not professionals. They are often deceptive... In order to gain the limelight, some people will ask masters like Qi Longtai for help and reference."
"With these people taking the lead, every half-monthly stone appreciation meeting, Bai Yuxuan will achieve amazing sales. Big shots will get the opportunity to shine, and Bai Yuxuan will benefit. It can be said to be a win-win situation."
"So, Qi Longtai is very popular both in Bai Yuxuan and in the upper-class circles of Bailong City. Ordinary small shops can't even hire him."
Zhang Dachuan nodded secretly after hearing this. For these rich and powerful people, nothing is as important as their own face. Whoever bets on the stone that is carved out will have the best quality, and his face will naturally shine, and it can also be used as a show off to the outside world. Capital.
It is precisely based on this that the Fan family spends a lot of money to hire masters like Qi Longtai to take advantage of those people's face-saving and showy characteristics to indirectly drive the store's sales.
As Qi Longtai walked along, people kept shaking hands with him and saying hello, complimenting him on his sharp eyesight, or asking him to help him look at stones.
Qi Longtai responded one by one with a smile on his face, but refused those people's requests for help one by one.
The stone appreciation conference hasn't started yet, and these people who came first are just minor characters. How could Qi Longtai waste his emotions on these people.
At this moment, Qi Longtai noticed the three Zhang Dachuan people standing near the stairs, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the graceful Jiang Wantong.
Although Jiang Wantong was wearing a mask, from the countless eyes of Qi Long Taiyue, she was very sure that she must be a top beauty.
The male companion next to this woman was dressed in ordinary clothes and was obviously a minor character.
Qi Longtai's eyes suddenly lit up and he strode over.
Then, under Jiang Wantong's stunned gaze, Qi Longtai "politely" stretched out his hand to her:
"This beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to be my dance partner tonight?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Wantong.
A woman looked at Jiang Wantong with envy and whispered in the crowd:
"It's such a good fate that Master Qi is interested in me."
"I don't think there's anything special about her. Her figure isn't as good as mine... It would be great if Master Qi chose me."
"Being Master Qi's dance partner means you have one foot in the circle of noble people, and your future prospects are limitless."
Lin Muwen took this opportunity to explain in a low voice in Zhang Dachuan's ear:
"Bai Yuxuan's stone appreciation party is not just about gambling on stones, it is a bit like a banquet, and there will be a dance before it starts to heighten the atmosphere."
Zhang Dachuan listened and smiled coldly:
"What a bullshit master, he's just a collection of male thieves and female prostitutes."
