Panjiayuan Flea Market is located southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge on East Third Ring Road South, covering an area of 48,500 square meters. The market is divided into six business areas: stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern snow collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area. It mainly deals in antique items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of tens of billions of yuan. The market has more than 4,000 operating merchants and nearly 10,000 business people. The market was formed in 1992. With the rise and active development of folk antiques and art transactions, it has become an antique large-scale antiques and art market that spreads folk culture.
At 7 o'clock, Lu Cheng got out of the taxi, took long strides, got into the crowd, and went straight to the jade and jewelry area.
Zhu Long, a big fat man, had a hard time following them because there were too many people and he would bump into them accidentally. If he did, he would have to apologize quickly.
Lu Cheng saw several stone betting shops.
He walked into a relatively large shop and called it "Lao Liu Gambling Stone".
At a glance, the store was very spacious, with hundreds of stones, and many people gathered there.
Lu Cheng mastered the Qi-gazing technique, and no longer had to touch one piece after another. He only had to glance at it, and he could see the mist emitted by the jade, like a colorful beam of light. It was not light that could be seen with the naked eye, but a kind of light. Indescribable energy!
Yes, in Lu Cheng's eyes, jade is alive! Jade can breathe and communicate with heaven and earth, so it is an excellent carrier for making talismans.
If jade cannot absorb spiritual energy, the jade talisman created will be disposable. Precisely because it can breathe and exhale, it can be buried in the soil and recover automatically after a month.
Zhu Long hurriedly caught up and asked: "Brother, are you going to buy jadeite? I heard that nine times out of ten you lose, this is pure gambling!"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and didn't say much. He called the store clerk over and asked, "What's the price of this piece of Moxisha? How much is this piece of Mowanji? Which one will get stuck?"
He picked three pieces of material, the large one weighed 200 kilograms, the medium one weighed 30 kilograms, and the small one weighed 10 kilograms, all of which were head covering materials. These materials are relatively good and should be able to produce high-ice varieties. In addition, he also saw a few stones emitting a faint light, which should be of the waxy ice variety. He did not ask, not wanting to lower the quality of the goods he was scanning.
He spent more than ten minutes negotiating the price, and finally bought it for 30 million!
Zhu Long was dumbfounded on the sidelines!
"Damn, brother, you are the second generation of rich people? You are gambling too much!"
He thought to himself: "No matter how good your family is, you can't gamble like this! Such a big gamble will sooner or later ruin your family fortune!" He felt sorry for Lu Cheng's parents, as if he had seen their miserable old age.
To be honest, Lu Cheng didn't want to spend so much money. However, the owner of the stone gambling shop was not stupid. He kept these materials from the famous market just to sell them at a high price. Fortunately, they were still made from head covering materials and looked very ordinary on the outside. If you open the window and see a touch of green, the price will go up!
Not to mention anything else, the 200 kilogram piece of Houjiang material alone cost Lu Cheng 18 million.
Lu Cheng had a good idea and knew that there was good jade inside. In addition, he was short on time and had no time to talk to the other party, so he couldn't bargain down the price.
He left his address to the store, paid a fee for shipping, and asked the store to send it to his home in Quancheng.
Although he has a jade ring, he cannot take the jade in front of others, and he cannot use the jade ring regardless of whether Zhu Long is following him or not.
Then, he walked out of "Lao Liu Gambling Stone" and went to "Baocui Fang" next to it.
Here, he spent another 17 million to buy three stones.
When Zhu Long saw his lavish gambling, he didn't know what it felt like. No matter what, the fact that people can come up with money is a strength in itself! At least he, Zhu Long, can't afford the money! His entire family's savings are not enough for 1 million!
Lu Cheng didn't want to show off his wealth in front of the other party. When he looked back and saw Zhu Long's lonely look, he made a plan in his heart without saying anything.
Then he went to another stone betting shop and bought a 90-kilogram stone for 7.5 million.
He hurriedly walked through all the stone betting shops in Panjiayuan, spending a total of 68 million and bought 12 pieces of jadeite rough. Send all these stones to Qingquan Villa.
At this point, he had swept away all the glass and high-ice jadeite rough stones in Panjiayuan. The remaining jadeite stones were at most ice, glutinous ice, glutinous and bean.
The so-called ice jade looks as crystal clear as ice. The characteristics of the ice type are that the outer surface is very shiny, translucent to transparent, and as clear as ice, giving people the feeling of ice-clear jade. The shape of the jade body looks like ice crystals, with uniform particle size, and the crystal grains can be distinguished by the naked eye. Jade jade is pure and free of impurities, with a fine texture and no cracked or sparse cotton lines.
Ice jade gives people a feeling of being 30% warm, but 70% cold. At first glance, it looks very pure and transparent. When gently struck with an agate stick, a clear and concise sound will be heard in the ear. This is ice jade.
What is high-ice jadeite?
As the name suggests, high ice jade is a step above ice jade. Its transparency is between glass and ice jade, and its transparency and texture are more perfect. Gao Bingzhong is the leader in ice jade.
Among jadeite, green is the most respected. If the jadeite is a little green, the price will be higher.
Lu Cheng didn't care if the rough stone he picked was green or not. Colored was better, but colorless was fine as it could be used to make jade talismans.
At 9 o'clock, the two walked out of Panjiayuan and took a taxi back to the track and field center.
On the way back, Zhu Long didn't say a word, his eyes were blank, looking out the car window, obviously he was greatly shocked.
Lu Cheng said: "Brother Zhu, do you know? I am not a second-generation rich man. All the money I spend is earned by myself."
Zhu Long turned his head, looked at him and smiled bitterly: "I understand. You are a top person, a world record holder, and the endorsement fee alone is enough to spend a lifetime. I can't compare with you, you are like a roc in the sky, I What? Like a frog at the bottom of a well, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't jump out. But I have tried my best, and I have nothing to regret. There are many people who envy me for having the opportunity to participate in the Olympics and chase my dreams on the field, even though it is just a one-time event. It’s a dream, I can’t even get into the finals…”
He was right. In the Olympic discus competition, even if he could reach the finals, he would have accomplished his task, and the possibility of winning a medal would be extremely slim.
There is no way, the sports results are left there!
Lu Cheng asked: "Brother Zhu, what is your best score in the discus?"
Zhu Long replied: "66.57 meters."
"Where's the world record?"
"74.08 was set by German player Jurgen Schulte on June 6, 1986. No one has broken it for 42 years!"
"Hey, that's a great guy!"
"Of course, he is absolutely awesome!"
Lu Cheng asked: "Brother Zhu, do you know where your results ranked among the top in the world in the past two years?"
Zhu Long shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The top ten are excluded! Therefore, the requirement given to me from above is to enter the finals! The top 12 in the finals!"
Lu Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Brother Zhu, if I say that there is a way to improve your performance by six or seven meters, would you believe it?"
Zhu Long was shocked, stretched out his huge arms, like a big black bear, and suddenly hugged Lu Cheng: "Oh my God, you are my brother! My long-lost eldest brother! No, if you can help me rise three meters, I can call you uncle!"
"Let go!" Lu Cheng raised his arms and pushed Zhu Long out.
"Damn! Are you stronger than me?" Zhu Long was surprised and felt a little dissatisfied: "Let's join hands and let me see how strong you are as a track and field practitioner."
"No need to try, if I throw a discus, I guarantee that it will be a hundred meters!"
"You're such a braggart!" Zhu Long remembered that he wanted to ask the other party for help, so he stopped criticizing and said, "Tell me, what price do I have to pay, can you help me?"
Lu Cheng said with a smile: "I'm just looking for food. If it were someone else with a well-off family and less than tens of millions, I wouldn't take action. Brother Zhu, I have a fate with you, who asked us to live in the same house! What do you think? What good things does Zhangye have? Just give me some local specialties."
Zhu Long said: "Zhangye has many specialties! The first one is Zhangye beef cattle. The area where they grow is pollution-free and pollution-free snow water pasture in the Qilian Mountains. The climate is cool and dry, suitable for the growth of cattle. The meat is fine and thick, delicious in taste, and has no fishy or odor. Secondly The first is Sunan red deer antler. The third is alpine fine-wool sheep. In the middle of the Hexi Corridor, at the foot of the beautiful Qilian Mountains, there is a SNYGZ autonomous county with dense forests, rich mineral deposits, green grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and beautiful scenery.
The fourth is Zhangye’s grapes and wine. I don’t need to mention this. Let’s talk about a kind of grape called ‘glacier xueti’. It grows on the snowy plateau and is pure and flawless. It absorbs the essence of Qilian snow water... The fifth is Zhangye’s yellow wine, which has a long history. The local ancestors began to collect medicine long ago. . Later, it used sorghum green barley as the base of the wine, glutinous rice as the raw material, dozens of precious traditional Chinese medicines such as Angelica sinensis, Gan Gan, tangerine peel, safflower, etc., added with barley to make koji, and was carefully brewed. It is a drink with low sugar content and rich nutrition... …”
Lu Cheng listened quietly and said with a smile: "Forget it about cattle and sheep. They are far away and need to be transported in refrigerators, which is too troublesome. After two months, if you win the gold medal, how about giving me some Zhangye rice wine?"
Zhu Long said: "You said I won the gold medal? Haha, if I win the gold medal, let alone give you rice wine, I will rent a refrigerated truck myself and drive thousands of miles to deliver it to your home. I will give you two yaks as a gift. , ten sheep, two hundred kilograms of glacier snow grapes, plus wine and rice wine! Forget about the deer antlers, you are so young and unmarried, you will get angry after eating deer antlers."
So many things, the total amount is less than 200,000. Yaks are not that expensive, and some Tibetans raise hundreds of yaks.
Lu Cheng was overjoyed: "Then it's settled."
He wants to help Zhu Long, which also has another meaning, because the 2028 Olympics is a competition between countries, involving the question of who is the boss between the eagle and the rabbit. Although China's GDP has surpassed that of Western countries in 2027, it is still lagging behind in terms of military strength. In addition, it has not regained a certain island so far, and the competition between the two countries has become fierce!
If China beats the West in the Olympic track and field competition, it will definitely be a happy thing for the Chinese people.
