    Mr. Hou saw Boss Meng on the side, staring at the piece of wool, and asked quickly: "Xiao Chu, what are you going to do next?" Chu Chen looked around and smiled: "Mr. Hou, here  It's not convenient to talk about things. How about we change places? " "Haha, look at me, let's go to the reception room in my store," Mr. Hou said quickly and apologized.  After Chu Chen and the others left, the people watching immediately started talking.  The old man from before sighed: "I didn't expect that emeralds grown in glass and apple greens grown in ice are the only ones I've ever seen in my life. Today is really an eye-opener and my dream has come true." "It's true,  But that little brother has actually been able to make big gains twice in a row. I have to say that he is very lucky!" The middle-aged man sighed with envy.  However, his companion started to play against him again: "Hey, let me tell you, it's because that little brother has good eyesight. How can it be possible that the little brother has risen sharply twice in a row just by luck and no strength? And that little brother has good eyesight.  With great courage and good character, this kind of person will definitely not be the one in the pool in the future! " "Come on! Come on! If you have time to sigh, you might as well learn from me and find some materials to solve it.  I can still get some luck and make a small profit!" A man in his thirties, holding three pieces of wool, rushed to the stone dissolving machine and said urgently: "Master, help me quickly!  Please explain, maybe the God of Wealth hasn¡¯t gone far yet!¡± Everyone could only shake their heads speechlessly when they saw this scene.  In the reception room, everyone admired the two pieces of jadeite on the table and marveled at it. This kind of high-end jadeite is really rare.  Especially the two girls, both have blurred eyes. Who said jewelry is a woman's best friend?  "Uh-huh." Mr. Hou coughed lightly, turned everyone's attention, and then said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Chu, let's talk about this apple green ingredient. You also know that in my store  We need this kind of high-end jade urgently. I won¡¯t say much more, so I¡¯ll ask you to help me find a suitable price and let us keep it. What do you think?¡± Chu Chen scratched his forehead and smiled.  He said: "Mr. Hou, this price is more appropriate for you. I offered it too high, and it hurts our feelings, don't you think so?" After hearing this, Mr. Hou lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around,  They communicated quietly with Boss Meng on the side.  If Mr. Hou hadn't bought that piece of emerald, he might still be able to eat this piece of material. Now, even one party can't eat it alone. Since one person can't eat it, let's just buy it together and then divide it up. This is the current situation.  The most beneficial option for both parties.  After a while, the two of them had almost finished communicating, and Mr. Hou said sincerely: "Xiao Chu, you should also know something about the market situation in our west. We will pay 10.8 million for this piece of material. What do you think?"  ?" Chu Chen thought for a moment and then smiled: "Mr. Hou, of course I won't hold you back, so let's take this price." "10.8 million, it's definitely not too much.  , if based on the market in the capital or the south, the price will definitely be higher, but based on the market in the west, it is already very good, and this price is also in line with Chu Chen's expectations.  ¡°Besides, this piece of wool was bought from someone else after all. When Chu Chen eats meat, he has to let others drink the soup. When doing business, he still needs to be friendly and make money. Maybe one day, he may cause trouble to others.  Mr. Hou and Boss Meng looked at Chu Chen nervously. When they heard that he agreed to the quotation, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on their faces.  When Zhou Wenping and others heard the price, they also showed envious expressions. Unexpectedly, Chu Chen would become a multi-millionaire in the blink of an eye.  "By the way, Xiao Chu, what do you want us to do about this emerald?" Seeing that the deal was completed, Mr. Hou quickly asked about the other emerald.  "That's right, Mr. Hou, you also know that such glass emeralds are rare, so I want to keep it for appreciation. Let's trade it tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" Chu Chen said a little embarrassed.  In fact, if he had not used up all his powers today, he would not have made this request. You must know that this is nearly three million emerald psychic powers. It would be a pity if it was not absorbed.  Others didn¡¯t find it strange after hearing it. If it were me, the same would happen.  When Mr. Hou heard that it turned out to be such a trivial matter, he was relieved and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible, but the bank will not be open tomorrow. Let's sign the contract together today and then transfer the money directly. As for the jade  , you can give it to me tomorrow.¡± (Some bank branches seem to be open on Saturdays. If you feelQuestion, please bear with me) Chu Chen did not expect Mr. Hou to say this, which made him a little entangled. Will signing the contract affect the absorption of superpowers?  However, Mr. Hou has said this. If he refuses again, he will look a little coquettish. At this time, he regrets a little. If he had known this, it would be better not to sell this piece of raw material!  But now that this is the case, I can only relax my mind. But think about it, three million is not much. I have never seen ten million earned so easily!  Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt relieved, so he nodded and agreed.  When the two parties signed the contract, Chu Chen included the piece of black and white jade that Hou Yuanming had asked for before, without asking for any money. It was considered a gift from him to Hou Yuanming, which made Hou Yuan obviously a little embarrassed.  The subsequent transfer also went smoothly. After the transaction was completed, Mr. Hou and Boss Meng left to discuss the follow-up issues of the jade, while Hou Yuanming gave Chu Chen a portable safe, which was safe and secure.  Don't worry.  After all the work was done, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.  After such a thrilling stone gambling experience, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, so Hou Yuanming suggested that everyone go have tea and take a break. Then he invited them to the famous Xijing Hotel to taste the delicious food there.  No one had any objection to this proposal, so Hou Yuanming took them to a charming teahouse.  As soon as Chu Chen sat down, his cell phone rang. When he saw the number, it turned out to be Zhao Qirui's number, so he immediately picked it up.  "Hey, Brother Zhao, I'm Chu Chen. What do you want from me?" "Haha, Xiao Chu, I just want to ask if there is any news about the painting I asked you to find before? If not, there is no need to look for it.  , my friend has helped me find a work by Wu Changshuo. " "Brother Zhao, I really want to congratulate you, but I also want to apologize to you. Before, I got a work by Zheng Banqiao, but I  I want to collect it myself, so" Chu didn't want to mention this at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. After all, the antique market is really not big. Instead of hearing other people mention it in the future, Zhao Qirui might as well say it himself.  This will avoid Zhao Qirui's misunderstanding.  "Good guy, you can get all Zheng Banqiao's works. Please give them to me to appreciate them one day." Zhao Qirui's voice didn't sound angry at all on the phone.  Chu Chen immediately said: "Of course there is no problem, but I am still out of town, and the painting is still with Liu Zhi and Mr. Liu. I will show it to you for appreciation after a while." "Oh, that is no problem, but I  I¡¯m curious, Mr. Liu didn¡¯t ask you to buy such a work?¡± ¡°He also wanted it at the time, but I wanted to collect it myself, so I didn¡¯t agree.¡± At this point, Chu Chen thought to himself.  Mr. Liu didn't sell it, so I guess you won't be angry.  "Haha, then go and do your work. We will contact you when we have time." After Chu Chen hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief. From Zhao Qirui's last tone, he should be fine.  But when he raised his head and looked at the others, he found that everyone was staring at him motionless.  "What's wrong?" Seeing this, Chu Chen asked strangely.  Li Guodong said angrily: "Xiao Chen, how come we have never heard that you have Zheng Banqiao's works? You are hiding such things, you are too embarrassed." "That's right!" Others also followed suit.  They nodded and pretended to criticize Chu Chen.  "Well, I'm too embarrassed to take the initiative to say it." Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly told the story of how he got the painting, and then said: "You guys, what should I say about this? If I say it myself, wouldn't it be a show off?  "Huh, even showing off is better than hiding it, don't you think so, Yulan?" Seeing Chu Yulan nodding in agreement, Wen Yuting continued: "Brother Chu, why are you so lucky that you can't even pick up a leak?"  It¡¯s a common thing. Don¡¯t you have good luck every day? No, we also want to see Zheng Banqiao¡¯s work!¡±  Even if I picked it up once and missed it, there is no need to regard me as a class enemy.  Hou Yuanming also smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, your luck is beyond words. I can't be jealous even if I want to. But since you are so lucky, you must go to the ghost market tomorrow."  "Ghost market", to put it simply, is the underground market in the antique world.  The ghost market has actually existed for a long time, but it only started to become a specialized antique trading place in the Qing Dynasty.  When the Qing troops entered the customs, they became the natural ruler.However, as time went on and the war gradually subsided, many descendants of the nobles went around fighting dogs every day and became playboys. Their family fortunes declined day by day, and their management became increasingly sluggish. The family members collected their old property in exchange for money, and borrowed money from heaven.  Hei sneaked into the "ghost market". ?? Later, those dandy boys also had no money to live, so they exchanged the treasures left by the elders in the family for money, and went to pawn shops to avoid losing face, so they also took the treasures to the "ghost market" to sell them for money.  There are also rag collectors who have received items from wealthy families or stolen items, and they also rush to the "ghost market" to change them into money.
