Early the next morning, Ling Yi received a call from Lao Lin, saying that the other party had come.
At this speed, even at the moment of convenient transportation, Ling Yi could only secretly admire it.
When they came to the agreed place, the other party took out another piece, this time the demon girl didn't say anything.
When bargaining, Lao Lin seized the other party's mistake yesterday and tried his best to lower the price.
During the whole process, Ling Yi didn't participate at all, just sat there drinking tea leisurely, watching the two quarrel.
"Old friend, I'm not talking about you. If what happened yesterday gets out, you will be stinky in the entire jade circle!"
"But I, Lao Lin, are not that kind of person, and my little brother is too lazy to know you in general... Don't say you don't know, you are much more proficient in jade than me."
"I can see the problem, but you can't? You haven't even looked at such a precious thing before?"
"You said it was your apprentice's ghost, you don't know at all, do you believe it yourself?"
"One hundred million, don't say anything!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lao Lin with an aggrieved expression.
"Lin Ye, you have wronged me. My apprentice is quite talented. Don't look at his youth, he is not inferior to me, he can stand on his own."
"I also trust him too much. I'm so careless. Who would have thought that he would make a fake and show shame?"
"Lin Ye, think about it, if I really knew about this, how many leopards would I have to eat before I dared to play a big knife in front of you, Lin Ye?"
"Hey, the family is unfortunate. The bad guy has been expelled from the teacher's school by me, and it has nothing to do with me in the future. Let's not talk about this, it's a disappointment."
"Look, in order to atone for my sins, I moved out all the family heirlooms, isn't that sincere enough?"
"One hundred million is too little... A piece of top-quality mutton fat jade the size of a palm is more than ten million!"
Old Lin said with a sneer, "Stop talking to me about those useless, priceless treasures, can they be compared with Lingshi? But when a little brother like me likes it, you can't just talk to me like a lion, especially in front of me. My face! I'll give you a maximum of 102 million!"
After several contests, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the price of 150 million.
How much this thing is worth, the demon girl from some era must not know, and Ling Yi is even more unclear, after all, she has never been in contact with it in the past.
But Ling Yi knew very well that neither the old Lin nor the middle-aged man was a white lotus.
In particular, Lao Lin was very sure yesterday that it was no accident that Ling Yi bet 10 billion spiritual stones for one dollar, which made Ling Yi wonder if they were playing some kind of calculus in private
But there is one thing that Ling Yi can be sure of, the current price should not be too expensive for such a large piece of top-quality jade.
If this price is not only not expensive, but also really good value, it can only mean one thing -
Old Lin and the middle-aged man and the young man who didn't appear again just played a show, and the ultimate goal... There is a high probability that he will owe him a favor.
Human debt is the most difficult thing to repay.
There is also his ability to open the eyes of the sky, once it is spread, it will inevitably cause a great storm.
So Ling Yi looked at Lao Lin and asked, "Brother, tell me the truth, what is the normal value of this thing? Is it much higher than the current price?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ling Yi with a wry smile and said, "Brother, you have taken a big advantage today. My jade is definitely not a blow to you. Even if you take it apart and make it into a handle, it will be worth at least 300 million! So, you I really have to thank Master Lin today, alas…”
Ling Yi looked at Lao Lin: "Really?"
Old Lin bared his teeth with a smile: "You will understand when I send you a piece of information. Such a large piece of top-quality jade weighs more than 50 kilograms and costs at least more than 200 million!"
Ling Yi couldn't help stuttering: "It's so valuable?"
Lao Lin nodded.
The middle-aged man sighed: "So brother, I really lost a lot of money this time, not only..."
Ling Yi interrupted him: "In that case, I'll give you 250 million."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man who was stunned there and Lao Lin, who was also a little confused, and said with a smile, "I'm the person who is most afraid of owe people, and I'm very embarrassed that you are running around so much about this. The key is that I don't lack the money, you send me the account number, and I will transfer the money to you."
Lao Lin looked at Ling Yi: "You silly boy..."
"Brother, it's settled like this, who told me to be rich, right?" Ling Yi smiled, but there was a sense of refusal in his tone.
After he finished the transfer and left with Yu Shi, Lao Lin and the middle-aged man in the box couldn't recover.
After a long time, the middle-aged man sighed: "For so many years in business, I have seen a lot of bold and rich people, but it is rare to see more than 100 million people."
Lao Lin pouted, and said a little depressedly: "Fart, it was seen through by others!"
"How can such a young guy be such a thief? No... Not a thief, he's too smart!"
After speaking, he sighed: "We made a wrong judgment before. You and I both think that he is rich from the poor, and involves tens of millions of funds, so it is impossible to be unmoved."
"I didn't expect that the atmosphere that people showed when they donated money before is true!"
"People are really not bad for our three melons and dates."
"With more than five billion dollars, he can still take a taxi and shuttle around the city calmly..."
"Forget it, don't play with such people in the future. They are young, but not naive."
"Be a good friend..."
on the taxi.
The demon girl sneered and sneered: "You really take care of those people's face, if it were me, I would make it clear on the spot. One by one, who are you used to playing with? Deliberately giving some sweetness, but actually digging a big hole. Burying people is really not a thing!"
"What about after you've figured it out?" Ling Yi responded, "A clean break? Never again?"
"Why, can't you? Without Butcher Lin, you still have to eat pigs with fur?" The demon girl disdain.
"It's not necessary, it's enough to have less contact with them in the future." Ling Yi leaned on the seat lazily: "When people play with their hearts, they also use real money to play, and for such people who are willing to spend money and dig holes, To learn to respect, they are better than liars with empty gloves and white wolves, right?"
"Strong words!" The demon girl was disdainful.
After arriving home, Ling Yi went back to the room, took out the heavy piece of jade, and asked the demon girl in his head, "What's next?"
"Carving!" The demon girl said naturally.
"… "
A few hours later, when Su Qingqing picked up Ling Yun back from school, she found Ling Yi in the living room staring blankly at a bunch of tools.
"This is it?" Su Qingqing walked over, saw the top-quality white jade, reached out and touched it: "It seems to be pretty good!"
"It's good, more than two hundred million..." Ling Yi replied weakly.
"Ah?" Su Qingqing and Ling Yun were all staring at him blankly.
Su Qingqing looked at Ling Yi for a long time before she couldn't help but say, "Although we are rich now, we can't be so bad, right?"
Ling Yun came over and touched the jade with her little hand, "Brother, can you make two pendants for us from the leftovers?"
Ling Yi: "…"
For the next two days, Ling Yi stayed at home and studied hard at home.
He thought he could do it, but in fact, this thing has no foundation for a few years, and it is impossible to get started!
Even geniuses can't be good at everything.
Just when Ling Yi was at a loss for this piece of jade, Su Qingqing, who had been on the sidelines for three days, couldn't help but say, "What do you want to do? Can you invite someone else?"
Ling Yi raised his head.
Su Qingqing looked at him: "Can't you find a jade carving master to do it for you?"
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then sat there and looked at Su Qingqing for a long time: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Su Qingqing couldn't help covering her face with her hands and lamented, "How do I know what you're doing?"
The demon girl in Ling Yi's mind couldn't help but sneer: "I thought you were going to do it yourself, but I was still thinking, this guy is really stubborn."
"Didn't you remind me?" Ling Yi retorted weakly.
Being smart is being mistaken by being smart, I really didn't think about it at all before.
Although Su Qingqing made suggestions, she didn't know any talents in this field, so Ling Yi thought of Qin Jiuyue.
After the phone call, Qin Jiuyue agreed without hesitation, but then said, "If I'm talking about the master of jade carving, it's Aunt Zhao... Er, I'm more familiar with Sister Zhao. Of course, I can ask you."
"Then I'll ask Sister Zhao directly." After Ling Yi hung up the phone, she contacted Sister Zhao again.
Hearing that Ling Yi was going to make a jade box, Sister Zhao agreed without hesitation and made an appointment.
After meeting, when she saw Ling Yi brought the jade, Sister Zhao was stunned on the spot.
"Brother, do you want to use this kind of jade as a jade box?" Sister Zhao looked at Ling Yi incredulously: "Do you know the value of this jade in your hand?"
"I know, I bought it for 250 million." Ling Yi didn't hide it.
"Two hundred million five hundred and fifty?" Sister Zhao frowned slightly, observed the jade repeatedly for a while, and finally nodded: "It's worth it, and the price is the same."
Then he looked up at Ling Yi: "You just bought it?"
Seeing Ling Yi nodding, Sister Zhao said regretfully, "Why didn't you look for me when you bought it? You can even cut 10 to 20 million yuan for you! Forget it, you are not bad for this amount of money, but with such a good jade Let's make a jade box... It's too wasteful, isn't it? What's worth using this thing?"
Ling Yi said with a smile, "It's purely personal preference."
"Okay, it's better than my sister's hobby. Let's go, my sister will take you there now!" Sister Zhao acted resolutely and immediately brought Ling Yi to a courtyard in the center of the capital.
Here, Ling Yi met a famous jade carving master—
An old man who looked to be in his 90s, but was in good spirits.
The old man's surname is Jiang, and he is a great master in the jade carving circle!
But there is no grandmaster's air on his body, and he smiles when he sees the two of them, and he speaks and does things neatly.
Hearing that Ling Yi was going to make such a fine piece of jade into a jade box, Master Jiang was not surprised at all.
Rich people have more hobbies, and acts like Ling Yi's seemingly reckless behavior are nothing at all.
The old man also asked very thoughtfully: "If you take out those materials, you can also do a lot of good things. What are your plans?"
"Look at making some pendants or something. How much is the salary, I'll pay you directly later." Ling Yi was very polite.
"Okay, then you can go back and wait. Come pick up the goods in a week!" After finishing speaking, Master Jiang stared at the piece of jade and pondered.
Sister Zhao glanced at Ling Yi and said in a low voice, "The old man is seeing off guests, let's go."
Ling Yi nodded and followed Sister Zhao outside.
After getting in the car, Sister Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of this master?"
Ling Yi thought about it for a while: "Senior Jiang is quite easy-going, and he speaks and does things simply, without any airs, which is good."
Sister Zhao really smiled like that.
Ling Yi asked, "What? Isn't it?"
Sister Zhao smiled and shook her head: "Tell you, this old man has a weird temper, you know? He hasn't made things for people for many years!"
"Ah?" Ling Yi was stunned.
"And the old man doesn't know your identity. To be honest, before I came to the door, my sister didn't expect that the old man would take action," Sister Zhao said with a sly smile: "What I thought at the time was, whether it will work or not, try it first, or else Promise, then I will ask him to introduce his apprentice to do it for us."
"Unexpectedly, the old man agreed without saying a word, and offered to help you do something else. Did you know that his craftsmanship is not cheaper than your jade!"
Ling Yi grinned. He had some understanding of the master's fee, but he was still a little shocked.
"Don't be surprised, an ordinary master is called a craftsman, and the old man is called a master! However, if you meet someone he likes...or jade, he will do it without money." Sister Zhao looked at Ling Yi: "This time he is definitely not for the jade's sake, but because of you!"
"Why?" Ling Yi was a little at a loss.
"Although your piece of jade is good, it's not a rare precious jade. It's not to the point where the old man is desperate to make a move. You may not have noticed. The moment you enter the door, the old man is watching you." Sister Zhao said mysteriously. "Sister, let me tell you a secret, Master Jiang is already over 150 years old this year! He is a real master! Legend has it that he can look at anger and can see at a glance whether a person's aura is good or evil, if it is good, He's also good; if it's evil... then I'm sorry, but no one will do anything about it!"
Is that okay
Ling Yi felt that he had learned a lot again.
"The qi in you is obviously more than just kindness. There is only a small kindness. The old man should have a better attitude at best, and then he will save face by just sending a disciple. So, the kindness in you must be a great kindness! Sister sure enough There is no wrong person!"
Sister Zhao said with a happy face.
Ling Yi was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said, "Sister, you are too flattering, how can I be so good?"
Sister Zhao said: "My brother, it must be excellent!"
As he said that, he looked at Ling Yi and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to see elder sister. Today, you are willing to look for elder sister, and elder sister is very happy!"
Ling Yi smiled and nodded.
"It's done, let's go, let's have a drink!"
Ling Yi: "…"
