The other uncles and aunties were all eager to try it out, wanting to choose their favorite among the dazzling array of jade stones, but Song Jiang was not interested in it, but he also felt that it would not be good to spend even a dollar, so I reluctantly bought a Ping An buckle with a special price of 99.
"Poor students with poor performance" like Song Jiang and Meng Zhe have long been targeted by tour guides and jade shop salespeople. After all, they are too old among the "post-60s and 70s" generation. Eye-catching.
"Two gentlemen, the jade prices here are all ex-factory prices. There are no middlemen to make the difference. This is a rare opportunity... There is definitely room for appreciation if you buy them now!" the beauty in charge of sales spared no effort in recommending.
Song Jiang wanted to laugh when he heard "there are no middlemen to make the difference", because he and Meng Zhe really understood this sentence. It would be okay if he didn't say it like this, but it would be even more unreliable when he said it...
But when facing beautiful women, Song Jiang always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, let's see..."
Seeing that Song and Jiang were still unmoved, the face of the beautiful saleswoman suddenly turned cold, and her words were no longer as pleasant as before, "Two gentlemen, this tour group is actually a shopping group. You guys come here with these uncles and aunties. If you don’t buy anything, isn’t this a free prostitution?!”
Her words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest. Meng Zhe was hesitating whether he should remind these stupid people to buy fakes, so he sneered and said, "Are you so confident in buying and selling by force these days? Aren’t you afraid of retribution after death if you sell these fake jadeite to defraud the elderly?”
If someone else had said that, Song Jiang would have thought it was just a common curse word, but Meng Zhe was really reminding the other person when he said it... Unfortunately, the beautiful salesperson didn't appreciate it, and immediately shouted to the back with an aggrieved look on his face, " Third brother! There are two guys causing trouble here!"
Unexpectedly, her voice did not call out the third brother, but frightened several old men and women nearby who were ready to pay. Their rich life experience told them that there must be something fishy about such forced buying and selling, so they They all put down the jade they had selected and planned to take a look first before talking...
Several other salesmen saw that the fat meat that was about to enter their mouths suddenly ran away, so they all turned their heads and looked reproachfully at the beautiful salesman who asked the third brother for help. At this time, a man with big muscles and a round waist appeared. Came out from behind.
The beautiful saleswoman may also feel that the impact of her voice just now was not good, so she immediately walked to the third brother and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the third brother looked at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe with a bad look on his face. The look of provoking.
The little tour guide must be a shrewd person. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Young people are so energetic! I guess they saw that our sales were too good, so they made a few jokes. It's okay!"
When Song Jiang heard that the other party's words seemed to imply that he and Meng Zhe had molested the female salesperson, he felt angry, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to defend himself, and the old man standing a little further away They were confused and quickly returned their attention to the jade in their hands.
But the couple of old people standing near the two of them understood clearly, so they all gave up the idea of continuing to consume. After all, selling goods in this way was really unreasonable...
These elderly people are basically friends or relatives in small groups. If they can follow the trend in consumption, they can just follow the trend and not buy. In the end, less than half of the elderly bought the jade from the factory.
When the third brother saw that something was wrong, he glared at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe, then turned and left. After all, the method of forced consumption is no longer effective. Besides, they are a group of old people. What if someone gets involved in a dispute? What's the matter? Isn't it true that you steal the chicken but lose the rice?
Song Jiang originally thought that this matter should end like this. After all, some old people were spending money here. It stands to reason that the other party should be satisfied. Unexpectedly, not long after the third brother left, there was suddenly a smell in the air. There was a strange scent of sandalwood, and then I saw the old people who had made it clear before that they would not buy jade. They all looked like they were possessed by evil spirits. They chose any jade at random and had to pay for it. Some of them didn't even ask the price. Bought it directly.
Just when Song Jiang looked confused, he heard Meng Zhe next to him say in a deep voice, "There's something wrong with this fragrance. It seems to be able to charm the mind..."
After Meng Zhe finished speaking, he turned to look at a shrine in the exhibition hall. There was a small jade beast enshrined on it. Song Jiang couldn't tell what it was for a while, but it was not difficult to tell from Meng Zhe's eyes. , the abnormal behavior of these old people is probably related to this little jade beast.
"What is that? A lucky cat?" Song Jiang asked in a low voice.
Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "That's a jade brave, and the fragrance in this room comes from that jade brave..."
While he was talking, Meng Zhe had already walked to the shrine, staring directly at the jade brave on it. Upon seeing this, a salesman next to him quickly stepped forward and said, "This gentleman likes jade? We still have jade brave in our store." There are several statues with different shapes, I can take you two over to take a look."
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe looked sideways and asked, "I want this one, is it okay?"
After hearing this, the salesperson said with an apologetic look, "This one is not for sale. It is the treasure of our store. Why don't you look at the other ones?"
"You won't sell it for any amount of money? Where is your boss? I want to talk to him personally..." Meng Zhe continued to ask tentatively.
Perhaps because he felt that Meng Zhe should be an expert in jade, the salesperson quickly led the two of them to the tea room next to them, and then went out to call the boss of the factory. The other person was an uncle who looked kind-hearted.
He was somewhat surprised to hear that Meng Zhe wanted to sell the jade brave on the shrine, so he said with a smile, "Sir, actually we still have a few jade braves in our store, both in terms of carving and fineness of the jade. It’s much better than this one, why did you two fall in love with this one at first sight?”
Meng Zhe drank the tea first, and then said calmly, "We Ming people don't talk secretly. The one you have here counts as the other, and the one on the shrine is the real thing. Which one do you think I should choose?"
The uncle's face immediately darkened after hearing this. Song Jiang was really worried that the other party would smash the teacup and shake people in the next second. However, the uncle smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be an expert at such a young age. I'm afraid you didn't come here to cause trouble." Right?!"
