Jianbao life

Chapter 351 Clues
Chu Chen touched his head and said with a sneer, "How is this possible? Didn't I have a chance to talk about it just now?"

"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Zhao Wan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiao Chen, you are already a billionaire at such a young age, and you are so handsome, you are completely the white horse in the hearts of thousands of girls." Prince! By the way, where is your girlfriend from, and when will she be brought to me, and I will check for you?"

"My girlfriend is still studying in England, and she won't be able to return to China until next year after graduation. Then I will definitely bring her to meet you." Chu Chen replied.

"Abroad!" Zhao Wan frowned and said, "Then you haven't seen each other for a long time? Besides, it's not a big deal for a boyfriend and girlfriend to be separated for a long time. I advise you to be more cautious!"

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "There should be no problem with this, the relationship between us is very good."

Zhao Wan said: "Xiao Chen, your attitude is wrong. If you really like the other party, you still have to pay attention to this aspect. What if your girlfriend is lonely and wants someone to accompany you? There are many smooth-talking men these days. People just like to take advantage of it. I think it's not that you don't have money, so you might as well let her go back to China now."

"This is not good! After all, I have been studying for so many years, and I am about to get my graduation certificate. It would be a pity to just give up like this?" Chu Chen scratched his head, and when his cousin said this, he was really a little I'm worried, but it's definitely unrealistic for Wu Ke to give up his studies.
Zhang Yanbin next to him asked: "Xiao Chu, which school does your girlfriend belong to? If she is not very famous, I can help you find a way."
Chu Chen replied: "She is studying at Oxford University now."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Chu Chen's answer. Zhang Yanbin shook his head helplessly and said, "It turns out that your girlfriend is still a talented woman, but I can't help it in this school."

Chu Chen chuckled, not surprised by this.

At this time, Liu Sizhe suggested: "Brother Chen, if you are worried, you can go directly. Anyway, it won't be long before you fly now."

Chu Chen thought about it, so he went back to Beijing to deal with the store's affairs, and asked Zhou Wenping to help him look at the store's decoration, so he would have time to go to England afterward.

Zhang Yanbin laughed and said, "Xiao Chu, let me tell you, after you go, you must seize the opportunity and take her down completely. If you don't know what to do, I will show you some tricks later."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wan raised her Yangxiu fist and said, "Zhang Yanbin, don't think that I don't know who you are, if you bring my Xiaochen to death later, believe it or not, I'll beat you to the point of paralysis!"

Zhang Yanbin laughed dryly, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I just want to teach Xiao Chu some life experience, how can I lead him down?"

Zhao Wan snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, what I said is here, it's up to you how to do it..."

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and when it came to Chu Chen's childhood, Zhao Wan went to the room and took out a photo album, which contained several photos of Chu Chen when he was a child.

"Xiao Chu, I didn't expect you to have a thick head and a thick head when you were a child." Yi Hongguo laughed.

Chu Chen smiled in embarrassment. To put it nicely, he was a tiger-headed tiger. To put it bluntly, he was a complete idiot. He looked like a fool.

At the back of the album were some photos of the couple and their friends. Everyone just flipped through a couple of pages and didn't look at them much. However, a girl in one of the photos caught Chu Chen's attention.

Chu Chen's mind moved, and he quickly asked, "Cousin, who is the girl in this photo?"
Zhao Wan raised her eyes and replied, "This person is my junior, I met in Xiangjiang back then. Why, you won't fall in love with her, will you?"

Hearing that he was from Xiangjiang, Chu Chen somewhat confirmed his guess, but after hearing what Zhao Wan said later, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "How is it possible, I'm not the kind of man who is always on the go."

Zhao Wan joked with a smile: "Then why did you ask her, she can't be your old friend, okay?"

Chu Chen said helplessly: "Cousin, stop joking, I don't even know her, how could she be my old friend?"

"Then why are you asking her?" Zhao Wan asked curiously.

Chu Chen explained the reason, and then said: "I think she is probably my aunt's daughter, so I have to trouble my cousin to ask for me."

Zhao Wan suddenly said: "That's it! That's fine, let me ask for you, but this girl has gone to study in Australia, and I don't have her phone number, so it may take a little longer."

"That's no problem. Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry." Chu Chen said.

Zhao Wan smiled and said, "You, how old are you, and you speak so old-fashioned..."

Wan Chengjun and his wife are very enthusiastic. No matter what, let Chu Chen stay here for a few days, but the 25th is the opening day of the public offering, and it takes five or six hours to drive to Pingzhou. It is definitely impossible to stay for a few days. It's just that Chu Chen stayed here for a day despite the unfathomable hospitality.

During the period, Chu Chen originally wanted to use the jade taken by Wan Chengjun as a present for their wedding, but the couple refused to say anything, so in the end Chu Chen had to give up this plan and planned to get something suitable in the future. I'll make it up again.

The next day, after lunch, Chu Chen and the others set off for Pingzhou in the commercial vehicle of Wan Chengjun Company. Six hours later, the group set foot on the land of their destination.

Compared with Yangmei, Pingzhou is undoubtedly much larger, but it is only a town, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the South China Sea.

The most famous place in Pingzhou is Pingzhou Jade Street. It is one of the four major jade markets in Lingnan. The four major jade markets are Yangcheng, Sihui, and Pingzhou. The other one is the one they just left. The place is beautiful.

Pingzhou has very convenient transportation and a superior geographical location. In addition, there are boats to and from Xiangjiang every day. It has the convenience advantages of Yangcheng and the land advantages of Sihui. It is the best geographical location among the four major markets.

This place mainly deals in jade bracelets, but unlike Yangmei, which mainly focuses on high-end products, there are high-end, high-end and low-end jadeite products here, and among the four markets, the price is the most advantageous. The business of rough jadeite and scraps can be regarded as a distribution center for rough jadeite.

Due to its good location, businessmen from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and all over the province come in an endless stream every day, and there are no restrictions on foreigners, so many foreigners and Hong Kong and Macao do business here.

Merchants from Myanmar will bring the rough stones here for investment. This kind of investment is actually a small public offering. Almost once or twice a month, rough jade stones are launched for investment, and sometimes there are four or five times. , To see the goods and enter the bidding, you need to rely on the membership card of the local jade association.

Therefore, if Chu Chen wants to enter the public market to see the goods and bid, he must apply for a membership card. Of course, if he relies on Yihongguo's membership card, Chu Chen can also go in to see the goods and bid, but he does not like this.

Of course, getting a membership card for Chu Chen is a very simple matter even for Yihongguo. Wan Chengjun even waved his hand. Got a membership card.

It was already past eight o'clock after tidying up and saluting, so everyone had a hasty dinner and went back to their respective rooms to rest.But this guy Zhang Yanbin greeted everyone, saying that he went out to find his old friend, and he returned to the hotel with a red face until eight or nine o'clock the next day, leaving everyone quite speechless.

When you come to Pingzhou, you must go to Jade Street for a stroll. After Zhang Yanbin came back, everyone walked towards Jade Street, talking and laughing.

Pingzhou Jade Street started in the mid-70s from a local jade processing factory.At that time, this jade factory in the surrounding area had the best processing technology and the best quality, so the business volume continued to increase, which not only made considerable profits, but also trained a large number of technical talents in jade design, processing and production. .

After the reform and opening up, many employees of jade factories raised their own funds and started family-style workshops, so local self-employed businesses sprung up like mushrooms after rain.Because the local jade processing factory is good at making naked pieces, not only the quality is good, the craftsmanship is good, and the price is cheap, it soon became famous at home and abroad, especially in the jade circle of Southeast Asia.

In this way, the Pingzhou jade market was formed in the mid-80s, and the sales value had increased to over 90 million yuan by the mid-[-]s.

The market in Pingzhou is indeed very lively, but the fly in the ointment is that compared with the other three markets, Pingzhou is relatively scattered. So far, there is not a decent centralized jade city, which restricts the better development of the jade market.

A group of people walked through the emerald shops on the side of the street while discussing with each other the texture characteristics and production process of these emerald ornaments.

And among the group, apart from Hu Yong and the bodyguard next to Wan Chengjun, even Liu Sizhe has his own unique views on jadeite. After just wandering around for a while, it can be said that everyone has their own income. .

After visiting so many shops, Chu Chen also felt that the locally processed nude pieces in Pingzhou were indeed of good craftsmanship.

The bare body is actually the "plain" body jadeite without carved patterns or decorations on the surface, which is called "naked body jadeite" by experts.

"Book of Rites" says: "The quality of Dagui is beautiful if it is not polished."

In fact, good jade is usually in the form of a "plain" body to express its natural beauty of jade.

Because there is no decoration on the surface of bare jadeite, the raw material must not have cracks or blemishes.And "carved jadeite" looks exquisite and clear, but in fact "no strands can't make a flower", and the complicated patterns and decorations are often used to cover up cracks and other flaws.

Compared with carved jadeite, bare pieces have higher requirements on the "species" and "color" of the material itself. Therefore, top-level jadeites are basically "bare body".
