After entering the main hall and taking a seat and serving tea, Qin Miao did not go around in circles and asked directly: "Since the young master can take the initiative to visit me, he must have taken a fancy to the financial resources of my Qin family, but I don't know what the business the young master mentioned is." What kind of business?
"I would like to state in advance that our Qin family is a serious businessman. We do not do the so-called side business. If you have such an idea, you don't need to say anything. This trip is just to make friends. , I will order someone to hold a banquet later to welcome the young master and wash away his dust."
Shao Xi smiled secretly in his heart, why don't you do side business? Is killing people and selling goods a side business? Is it considered a side business to imprison a fellow student to ask for a treasure map? How sanctimonious and shameless!
Deliberately shaking the folding fan, turning his head to look at the furnishings in the main hall of the Qin family, he seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally: "Well! This house in your mansion is indeed good. Although the furnishings are slightly luxurious, they still have taste. , although it is a bit inferior to my house in Kyoto, but it is still second to none in Huaichang City, not bad, not bad!"
When Qin Miao heard that Shao Xi's answer was wrong, he started to murmur in his heart. Didn't he say that he had business to discuss? How do you evaluate your own house? Although the words were full of praise, they were full of contempt. There was a bit of provocation in the words. It seemed that he was afraid of being looked down upon and deliberately wanted to show off his financial resources.
"Oh? Mr. Shao turns out to be from Kyoto! No wonder I see that the young master has extraordinary bearing and nobility. He turns out to be a wealthy man from Kyoto. Please forgive me for my clumsy eyes. I was disrespectful just now."
Shao Xi waved his hand and asked seemingly casually: "I heard that the Qin family has been mainly engaged in business in the Western Regions in recent years. They sell cloud yarn and silk from the Central Plains to various countries in the Western Regions, and then purchase jade and agate from the local areas and return to China. Selling in Zhongyuan has been going smoothly in recent years and we have made a lot of money. Boss Qin and the old man are really good at running the business and making money in a good way!"
Seeing that the topic finally turned to business, Qin Miao quickly said politely: "Where, where! They are all small businesses that are just buying and selling. Business is difficult to do, and all you earn is hard-earned money, and the business in the Western Regions is quite risky. Gao, these years have not been easy, it’s just good luck that makes the young master laugh."
"Boss Qin is too modest. I really want to cooperate with your Qin family on a big deal when I come here this time. However, whether your Qin family has the fortune depends on whether your boss Qin and the old man have the vision and courage. .”
Qin Miao secretly laughed in his heart, what kind of business have the father and son not done in so many years? What risk haven’t you taken? Over the years, I have been able to make a prosperous business. How could I have the wealth I have today if I just relied on business skills? Needless to say, the despicable means involved.
So when she heard Shao Xi say the word "courage", Qin Miao thought to herself, if you can do business with my Qin family without losing your life, you will have earned it, but you still talk to me about vision and courage, my father and son I'm afraid you don't know the vision and courage of these two people.
Although he had vicious thoughts in his heart, his face was full of joy, and he asked tentatively: "My Qin family is very weak and only does small business, but I don't know how you can make money? I hope you can give me some advice! If you can If we borrow the young master's help and make money in the future, my Qin family will never forget the kindness of the young master."
Shao Xi saw that Qin Miao was still a little interested in the business he proposed, and knew that he needed some stimulation now, so he reached out and took out the brocade box from his bag, opened it and pushed it in front of Qin Miao.
The Qin family has been in the jade and agate business over the years, and has naturally seen many strange things. Seeing Shao Xi pushing the object in front of him, Qin Miao was not in a hurry to reach out and pick up the things in the box to look at them, but just The probe looked into the box.
When he saw what was in the box, Qin Miao was secretly surprised. He saw that it was a round and smooth bead, but with a dull color.
Qin Miao was also an experienced person, and he could tell at a glance that this was a glass bead. Glass was a rare thing in the world, and such a round and smooth glass bead was even rarer. Naturally, he was secretly surprised. The one in front of him This man is young, but he has such precious treasures in his hands. Could it be that he is also in the jewelry business? Is it possible that the business we came here to discuss today is related to the glass bead in his hand?
"Okay! It is indeed a fine glass bead. If I hadn't been doing this business all these years, I might not have had the opportunity to see such a rare thing as a glass bead in my life. Although I have seen it before, but It's not as round and plump as the young master's, but it's a pity! The color seems a bit dull, it would be better if it were more transparent."
Shao Xi clapped his hands gently, with a joking smile on his face, and praised: "Boss Qin is indeed well-informed. Boss Qin regards precious things like glass beads as normal things, but Boss Qin has one thing to say. Wrong. Although this bead may look a little dull and turbid at first glance, and not as crystal clear as other glazed beads, it is incomparable to all other glazed beads. Does Boss Qin know it? What’s special about it?”
Qin Miao became somewhat interested when Shao Xi said this. To him, glass beads were indeed extremely precious. Even an ordinary glass bead was worth a lot of money.
However, in his opinion, the glazed bead in Shao Xi's hand did look a bit turbid in color and not transparent enough, which seriously affected the quality of the bead. However, Shao Xi said that this bead was incomparable to other glazed beads. Yes, as a businessman who resells these jade treasures all year round, Qin Miao is very interested and wants to know what is unique about this bead?
So he raised his hand to Shao Xi and humbly asked for advice: "I am so young, but I don't see anything special about this bead. I would like to ask Mr. Shao for advice."
"You don't need my guidance on this. Boss Qin only needs to hold the bead in his hands, cover it and look at it from the gap between his hands, and then he will know its beauty."
Shao Xi's words already made Qin Miao feel amazed. As a jewelry merchant, he naturally knew the purpose of the action Shao Xi asked him to do.
He had already begun to wonder in his mind, could this bead actually glow? For so many years, the Night Pearl has always been just a legend. The father and son have been doing this business for so many years and have never seen it with their own eyes. Is it possible that they will see the legendary Night Pearl today?
Qin Miao didn't care about the so-called politeness and image, and quickly pinched out the bead in the brocade box with two fingers, held it in the palm of his hands and raised it in front of his face to look at it repeatedly. Finally, he brought his hands together in front of his eyes. When he saw the faintly glowing glass bead through the gap between his hands, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This is the Night Pearl! This is the night pearl that he has only heard about since he was a child, but has never seen it with his own eyes!
Although the light emitted by the bead in the palm of the hand is not very dazzling, it is still very bright. If such a bead comes at night, it will look even more pleasing to the eye and even more amazing.
Qin Miao's hands had begun to tremble slightly. Such things were extremely precious. He didn't even know what the price should be for this thing.
In his eyes, this is a priceless treasure. I'm afraid even the royal family has never owned such a thing, right? How did he know that the royal family already had this pearl, and it was given by Shao Xi personally.
At this time, in his eyes, this is the most precious treasure in the world, unique! If he knew that this thing was made by Shao Xi himself, would he be sprayed with blood on the spot?
"Mr. Shao, is this the legendary luminous pearl? Is it possible that Mr. Shao came here to sell this luminous pearl to my Qin family? But I don't know the price? Does Mr. Shao want cash or a banknote?"
Shao Xi was very satisfied with Qin Miao's performance. It seemed that the bead had achieved its intended effect. The next step was to whet his appetite.
No matter how fragrant the bait is, the purpose is not to let the fish eat it, but to catch the fish. At this time, the fish has not yet bit the hook, how can he throw away the bait?
So Shao Xi stood up and walked to Qin Miao, took the luminous glass bead from Qin Miao's hand and put it back into the brocade box. He closed the brocade box again with a "pop" and put it back into his satchel. , and then sat back in his seat.
Shao Xi's move stunned Qin Miao, and he was confused on the spot for a moment.
Qin Miao didn't understand what Shao Xi meant by this. She showed him such a precious thing, but instead of offering a price, she even kept it. Wasn't it meant to be a business deal? Why isn't this done again? Could it be that he came all the way here today just to show off his luminous pearl in front of himself?
This is impossible. It seems that there must be something more. Since he can have such a thing in his hand, it is impossible to say that there are other shocking things. In any case, this person must keep it today. If he can turn all the treasures in his hand into If the Qin family owns everything, wouldn’t the Qin family’s wealth increase several times?
"Mr. Shao, this thing is indeed a rare treasure, unique in the world! I wonder if Mr. Shao is willing to sell this thing? Why don't we come up with a price and let's talk about it. If the young master is willing to give up his love, our Qin family will definitely give a fair price. I will never let Mr. Shao feel that he is at a disadvantage."
When he said this, Qin Miao had already thought about it. Such a precious luminous pearl must be worth a sky-high price. The Qin family was afraid that their wealth would shrink in order to buy this pearl. How could they part with it?
At this time, Qin Miao was already thinking that whether Shao Xi sold it or not, he was planning to make money and kill himself.
Although the old slave next to the other party has some martial arts skills, the father and son are not weak in martial arts. Even Shao Xi knows some martial arts. If the father and son join forces, they will definitely gain both money and pearls.
When he was thinking about this, Shao Xi said something that shocked him even more.
"It's just a bead. I showed it to Boss Qin today just to let Boss Qin know that the business in my hands is definitely not comparable to this bead. If Boss Qin is interested, he might as well invite the old man to join us. discuss."
"A business that can't even be compared to this luminous pearl?"
