"Not yet. Is there a cheaper card for temporary use?" Yang Ming asked: "We may not be able to stay here for many days!"
"Then buy the Shenzhouxing Volkswagen Card. It is anonymous and does not have a monthly membership. You can recharge it and use it!" The salesperson introduced: "It's 20 cents to make a call, and it's free to answer the phone. It's 30 cents to dial 12593 for long distance!" (Lao Yu didn't know. Local tariffs are just random talk.)
"Okay, this is the one." Yang Ming nodded, thinking it was a good deal.
"The card number fee is 30 yuan, and the recharge card is 100 yuan, a total of 130 yuan." The salesperson said: "Here is the number slip, you choose a number! As long as there are no asterisks or triangles in the mantissa, it is OK, with symbols It’s a lucky number, so you need to pay extra. But if you use it temporarily, it’s not necessary!”
Yang Ming randomly chose one that was easy to pronounce. The ending number was 3401. Lan Ling’s was 3402. There was no need to wait when opening the bank card. It could be used immediately after recharging the value. After testing it, you could make a phone call. Yang Ming paid directly. got money.
Because the mobile phone card does not involve issues such as three guarantees, there is no need to issue an invoice and you can just pay the money directly.
Yang Ming took out the warranty card and accessories and put them into Lan Ling's small bag, then threw away the packaging box. Although these things will be easier to sell when sold second-hand in the future, Yang Ming does not expect to sell a mobile phone that costs more than 200 yuan.
After going out, Yang Ming called Zhang Bin.
"Hello? Who is it?" Zhang Bin looked at the unknown number and asked strangely.
"Hello, this is Hong Kong Dabin Group. Your mobile phone number won the second prize..." Yang Ming said seriously.
"Go away. I don't believe it! If you hit me again, I'll call the police... Huh? Yang Ming?" Zhang Bin suddenly felt that the other party's voice was so familiar: "Holy crap, why is it you!"
"Ha, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction. Have you been fooled?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Only fools are fooled!" Zhang Bin said: "Since I got a mobile phone, I have received no fewer than ten harassing calls and text messages like this!"
"This is my mobile phone number. I just bought it. If you need anything, call me!" Yang Ming said.
"Okay, where are you?" Zhang Bin asked.
"I'm getting ready to go to the bookstore!" Yang Ming said, "What, is something wrong?"
"No, you go for a walk. I'll take a nap later. Don't call me if you have nothing to do!" Zhang Bin ordered.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming asked Lan Ling: "Do you know where there is a bookstore near here?"
"You want to buy a book?" Lan Ling was slightly stunned. How can anyone buy books when traveling
"Well, buy some books on jade." Yang Ming didn't hide it from Lan Ling.
"So that's it!" Lan Ling nodded: "There is a Xinhua Bookstore on the South Gate Street of Fifth Street. By the way, Yang Ming, you haven't told me what happened this morning! I just returned Hotel, I’m patronizing you like that. I even forgot to ask!”
"Who told you to be full of unhealthy thoughts! Little ****!" Yang Ming patted Lan Ling's little butt and said.
"I just think about it. If you don't want to, I can't help you! If you don't be tough, I won't be able to do anything to you even if you're exhausted!" Lan Ling whispered in Yang Ming's ear.
Depend on! Isn’t this seductive? Yang Ming felt like he was getting hard again!
Lan Ling easily discovered what was wrong with Yang Ming. I glanced at his lower body with my eyes: "Look, you don't know who is thinking about unhealthy things on the street!"
"Watch how I punish you tonight!" Yang Ming glared at Lan Ling fiercely.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" Lan Ling jumped up and down like a child with a very happy expression.
Yang Ming was really helpless and had to change the topic: "What happened this morning?"
"When you were betting on stones this morning, how did you know the quality of the jade inside the stone? This must be your first contact today?" Lan Ling asked strangely: "Do you have the same intuition as me?"
"That's not true. I'm relatively lucky!" Yang Ming has not yet decided whether to tell Lan Ling about his abilities. After all, this is no small matter!
"Forget it if you don't tell me!" Lan Ling pursed his lips, looking unhappy.
"It's not that I won't tell you, but my situation is rather special. It's hard to describe!" Yang Ming made an excuse for himself. What happened to Yang Ming was indeed very strange, but it was not indescribable. It was just too difficult to describe.
"Okay!" Lan Ling let Yang Ming go. but. She didn't take it to heart and forgot about it after a while.
Because of the particularity of Tengchong's geographical location and trade. Xinhua Bookstore has many books on jade. Jade here is like a culture. As a Tengchong native, if you don’t know anything about jade, it would be a bit embarrassing!
According to the signs at the door, Yang Ming and Lan Ling easily found the counter with jade books. Here, there are still a few readers standing, including a scholar who is probably in his fifties.
Looking at the dazzling array of books, Yang Ming felt a little headache. He had this feeling when he bought the lip language textbook. Nowadays, people's living standards are too high, and their spiritual culture has become rich. However, correspondingly, there are more cultural products that are superficial.
If it's prose, novels, comics, short stories, etc., it doesn't matter if you brag a little bit, but if you make up academic books, it's a bit screwed up!
Nowadays, there are not many such "professional" books. It doesn't matter if it's just pieced together. You won't learn anything after reading it, but you can't learn anything bad. I'm afraid that those who don't know how to pretend to understand nonsense will write books full of fallacies. Isn't this misleading? !
Yang Ming flipped through a few books and became a little confused. It’s really one person’s point of view. Each author has a different understanding of jade. It can be said that they are completely different. How can I read this book!
Lan Ling's ability to recognize jade is based entirely on feeling, and his knowledge of jade is very clear, but he knows nothing about it.
"What's wrong, young man, do you look sad?" The old man standing next to Yang Ming suddenly asked.
"Old sir, I want to study the knowledge of jade, but I don't know which books to read!" Yang Ming looked at the books he had been looking for for a long time here, and asked with the idea of giving it a try: "But I I found that many books have different viewpoints, and I don’t know what to do!”
"Haha! So it's because of this!" The old man said with a smile: "What's there to worry about! Most of the books you mentioned are appreciation books. Many of these books are written by collectors and are personal. People with different interests, hobbies and visions will naturally have different opinions when writing!”
"But, isn't it ultimately these collectors who have the final say on the value of jade?" Yang Ming asked doubtfully.
"Not necessarily! To a certain extent, what they said can indeed be used as a reference for the value evaluation of a piece of jade, but it is not entirely the case!" As he said that, the old man took out a copy of "Hetian Jade Appreciation" from the bookshelf. Book, opened one page, pointed to the photo above and said: "Just like these two jade bracelets! Look carefully, the materials used in these two bracelets are similar. Look here, there are their texture evaluation reports. !”
Yang Ming took a look and found that it was indeed the case. The texture of the two was almost exactly the same, but the price difference between them was as much as two million!
"See? Want to know why this connoisseur praised one bracelet but brushed off the other?" asked the old gentleman.
Yang Ming shook his head, how could he know this! If he knew, he wouldn't be troubled!
"Haha, young man, the texture of the jade is important, but the person who carves it is also important! The carving techniques of these two jade bracelets are different. Take a closer look. The one with the higher evaluation is very finely carved, while the other one is not. Very rough!" the old gentleman explained.
"Ah! That's it!" Yang Ming suddenly realized! Just now, I only paid attention to the texture difference of the jade, and didn't care about its carving process. "I asked myself, why are the prices of jade stones of the same quality so different?"
"Yes, the carver of this bracelet may be a novice. To put it bluntly, this piece of jade made him blind!" The old gentleman shook his head with regret.
"I understand!" Yang Ming nodded: "Old sir, what do you think a beginner like me should read?"
"If you are interested in jade, you can start learning from the texture of jade. For example, this book is more suitable for you!" The old man took out a book with a not very beautiful cover from the corner of the bookshelf and handed it to Yang Ming .
