Li Long insisted on not having money, so Director Qian could guess the reason. Neither side actually explained the matter about carrying the man, and it was tacit.
Director Qian asked about Li Long's family situation. After learning that Li Long's wife had twin sons, he said enviously:
"I originally wanted to have a son and a daughter. As a result, I gave birth to two daughters. Now my daughters are all in school and are very filial, but to be honest, I still feel sorry for not having a son...
Don't say that I prefer boys over girls, our social environment is This is what..."
Li Long certainly understood that if he gave birth to twin daughters, he might not care, but someone in the village must have said that, and his father and mother might also say that Gu Xiaoxia might also be psychologically a little bit uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, in the northern border, the concept of gender equality is stronger than in many places, but some people will inevitably have that little in their hearts.
Li Long could hear that Director Qian was telling the truth.
His family planning had not started when he gave birth, so he was able to have two daughters. But such a family must also have their own principles. If you give birth to two sons, you will not give birth.
Li Long could hear that what Director Qian said was true. He smiled and said: "Boys and girls are the same. As long as they are filial and healthy."
"Yes, yes, that's the reason." Director Qian also revealed his true feelings for a moment. After Li Long said this, he immediately stopped this true feelings and asked about the child's situation.
Knowing that the child is very good, Director Qian smiled and said:
"Okay, the child is good, and it's not tiring to be a parent."
I just chatted about home-cooked things like this. After more than ten minutes, Li Long stood up and said goodbye.
"Put it down and hand it over to Xiaosi." Director Qian said, "Let him take it home. If you are fine in the evening, go to home for dinner."
"No, Director, I have to go to Wucheng to do some things." Li Long said, "There are two children, it is difficult to take care of at home. I want to get things done as soon as possible and go back."
"It's okay, the child is young, so I won't keep you anymore. Wait a little older and take care of it. Then you come over and have a meal at home." Director Qian nodded, without any force.
He is not a hand-off manager. He also took care of the child when he was born, and knew the hard work of raising a child.
Looking at Li Long's words, he didn't take this as a refusal. He believed that Li Long really thought so.
With the bag on his back, he went out with the bag. He met some people, and some people looked at the bag with a bit intriguing expression.
Li Long didn't care about the eyes of others at all. It was normal to give some things to his leader at this time.
He arrived at the small car shift and told Xiao Si the words of Director Qian.
Xiao Si heard Li Long say that, so he took the black bag, took out the snow leopard skin inside, and returned the black bag to Li Long.
As for the peach, he asked Li Long and others to run back to the dormitory, and then came out with a cardboard box after a while, then took out the peaches one by one and put them in, saying as he put them:
"This peach is so good! To be honest, I really don't believe that you bought this peach in the city. I have never seen a peach sold in the city."
It's so normal. Beiting City is so big, it's impossible for Xiaosi to know everything.
Li Long and Xiao Si chatted for a few more times, then they carried the empty black bag out of the state club, got on the jeep, started, and drove eastward.
The second stop to the east, Wucheng.
Li Long naturally did not come here specifically for Director Qian, but Director Qian had to come this time.
What he didn't know was that after he left, Director Qian took out a plan reported by the department on his desk and looked at some of the numbers on it. He took a pen and changed a few numbers on it. Then nodded, turned his head and shouted outside:
"Xiao Wang?"
"Director, I'm here." The young man who poured water for Li Long walked in quickly. "Go, hand this plan over to the procurement department and let them issue the task according to this number." "Yes, Director." Xiao Wang took the share with both hands Plan, take it out.
In half an hour, Li Long entered the urban area of Wucheng.
This time he did not go to the Bayi Hotel, but drove directly to the jade carving factory.
Li Long brought all the three blood stones with him this time. He wanted to ask Mr. Liu if the blood stone is worth it.
After all, after all, he felt that the biggest gain of going to the mountains to hunt grass is this.
But after all, I am not an expert, I just want to ask, and by the way, if there are any good jade carvings in Liu Gong, I can buy them.
The entrance of the jade carving factory was quite lively. When Li Long saw a man selling jade in and out, he parked his car on the side of the road and waited for a while, mainly to see if he could see Yu Sufu.
This friend hasn't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if he has succeeded in going south to do business.
After looking for more than ten minutes, Li Long drove his jeep to the side door.
What surprised Li Long was that there were a lot of people around the side door.
When he came here a few times last time, there were basically no people here, and Liu Gong’s stall was basically supported by him.
It seems that this place is like a dead tree in spring and a new life is coming.
Li Long stopped the jeep forty or fifty meters away, picked up some peaches and put them in a black leather bag and picked them up.
Walking closer to the side door, I saw that the stall was still the same, the glass cabinet had not changed, but there were more jade carvings inside, and three or four people were carrying them there, and a few were watching from the outside.
It should be that after the economy is revitalized, everyone's demand for decorations is also increasing. Jadeware itself is a gentleman's weapon. It has been worn by Chinese people since ancient times. According to legend, there was a special jade era.
It would be impossible to speculate that jade prices would be so high in the future. In fact, there were naturally investors and capital intervention, but if there weren't such a group of people who liked jade, the price of jade would not be speculated. .
These people are picking up jade artifacts and ask questions from time to time. Liu Gong explained one by one there. What surprised Li Long was that there was a young man standing beside Liu Gong, and he kept interrupting from time to time, mostly asking questions, and Liu Gong also explained.
Is it an apprentice sent from the factory, or is it a member of Liu Gong’s own family?
At this moment, Liu Gong also lost the decadence that Li Long saw at first. His face looked pretty good and his voice was quite energetic. It was obviously he had raised it.
The few people paid to leave after picking, and the people behind picked it. Then Li Long saw that there was someone coming from a distance, so he thought he should go forward, otherwise he would wait until he got off work.
Li Long leaned over. Before Liu Gong could pay attention at first, he was introducing the material and number of jade Buddha to the customer in front of him. After saying that, he looked up and saw Li Long who was smiling at him. .
"Oh, Xiao Li is here!" Liu Gong shouted in surprise and handed the jade Buddha to the young man next to him: "Zhigang, come to see the stall, I have something to do .”
After saying that, he opened the side door and greeted Li Long: "Comrade Xiao Li, come in quickly. It's been a long time since I saw you. I'm thinking about whether you won't come..."
Li Long mentioned He squeezed into the crowd with a black bag and followed Liu Gong into the door.
Several people who bought jade were a little puzzled, but the young man immediately took over the Jade Buddha and introduced it. He mainly introduced the price and carving, as well as the future rise, which instead brought everyone's attention The force has attracted it.
"... Everyone should know that the jade in southern Xinjiang is a tribute before. The jade carving factory in the Magic City has come to us to purchase goods. Although these jade carvings are small in shape, they are all formal The Hetian jade from Erbajing will definitely increase its price in the future. After all, the less seed material you dig in the river, the higher the price of these seed materials will be."
"Did this jade Buddha be carved with seed material?" The middle-aged woman who bought the jade Buddha lit up and asked.
"Yes, of course it's seed material. Although it's not big, it's real seed material, with a whiteness sufficient. It's second level up, and although it doesn't reach level one, it's almost the same... …”
Okay, what young people say is different from the old people, and the perspectives are different, which is more attractive.
This jade Buddha was sold for 18 yuan.
The people behind who were originally waiting and watching immediately rushed over.
Prices have been rising these days, and it seems that the money is not very safe to store in the bank. It is better to buy something to maintain the value.
Collection of golden and prosperous times in troubled times. This concept has not yet risen these days, but the fewer things are, the more valuable they are, they still understand. Besides, this jade can be worn by itself. If it can also add value, wouldn’t it be a killing two birds with one stone?
Li Long glanced at the young man named Zhigang. This guy is so powerful.
Mr. Liu asked Li Long to come in, found a bench to sit down, and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Li, it seems that you are really busy. It's almost a year since you're here Haven't come? My wife still mentions you from time to time."
"The last time I came here, there was no one here." Li Long explained, "It seems that Mr. Liu, you have changed a lot here, much better than before."
"It's okay, okay." Mr. Liu smiled and said, "It's okay." "After you came here, I became more affordable and slowly started carving things. I can also pick up the things sent from the factory, and I threw them back some of the worse ones. Now The people who sell are of relatively good quality, and the number of people who buy it slowly increases. "
There are commissions here, and there are also Liu Gong's own business. There are many people who come to buy it and his income is more. Then, I will naturally be happy. Now that I no longer focus on that little salary, I am naturally happy.
Li Long took out the peaches from his bag and put them on the table, and said:
"I came here to see you this time. I looked good on the way, so I bought some of the peaches I bought. You can keep them and eat them slowly."
"Okay." Mr. Liu did not refuse and helped Li Long arranged the peaches together, and after that, they washed them with two peaches, and handed them to Li Long one.
Zhigang turned his head and looked at him, and was also curious about Li Long.
However, there are many people outside the stall, so his main energy is still outside. "Xiao Li, do you want a jade carving when you come here this time?" Liu Gong asked in a low voice while eating peaches.
"Yes, of course," Li Long said with a smile, "but there are other things to ask you for help."
"What's the matter, just say it." Liu Gong was very grateful to Li Long in his heart. , he naturally has the right to help Li Long.
"I collected three red stones. Please tell me if they are worth it." Although Li Long believed that those three stones were blood stones, he was an outsider after all, and he still had to be seen by an insider.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"Take it out and take a look."
Li Long ate the peaches in a few bites and placed the peach pits on the corner of the table - he couldn't find the trash can, and then took out the three chicken blood stones from the pocket of the black bag.
Mr. Liu's face became serious, and he took the redest stone and looked at it.
After only a few glances, then looked at the other two stones.
It took only five or six minutes to finish looking at the three stones. Then Liu Gong returned the stone to Li Long and said: "Xiao Li, these three stones are bloodstones, this one is full of The red one is considered a top-quality product and is very valuable. How much did you pay it?"
Li Long thought for a while and said, "Double dollars." "Hey, you've made a lot of money." Liu Gong smiled and said, "Although I'm mainly engaged in jade carvings, I'm facing chicken blood stones." I don’t know much, but I have colleagues in this field. Just for you, the price difference is not as good as the price of the first-class Hetian jade of the same weight - you have made a lot of money."
The first-class Hetian jade of the same weight is still at this time In terms of kilograms, but a kilogram is only hundreds of dollars, and this part is as high as thousands.
It's really worth it.
Li Long felt relieved, put away the three stones, and then said: "Then Liu Gong, take out your things. I will also buy goods this time."
"Hey, you boy!" Liu Gong likes Li Long's pleasure and is shopping!
For such a long time, Master Liu still carved a lot of things. Although several of them were sold, he kept most of the materials better.
There is no shortage of money for meals now, and Liu Gong thinks it is better to leave these good things to Li Long - who asked him to be his "little Bole".
After waiting for so long, Liu Gong was a little disappointed. He even wondered if Li Long's financial situation was not good, so he stopped coming.
If it weren't for the lack of contact information, Liu Gong even wanted to tell Li Long that even if the cost price was not available, he would want to sell this thing to Li Long.
Nothing else, it was Comrade Li Long who pulled him away when he was in a downturn.
But now it seems that Li Long is really short of money - just this piece of bloodstone can cost more than twice the price of the things he carved.
What's more, Li Long has three pieces.
Some people outside also questioned why Li Long could enter inside. The person named Zhigang directly said that Li Long was Liu Gong's friend and came to talk about the matter.
There is nothing to do, who doesn’t have any relatives and friends?
Mr. Liu took out the good things he carved one by one.
What surprised Li Long was that the things left by Mr. Liu were much larger in shape. Except for some things that needed to be worn on his neck, most of them were ornaments larger than fists.
Looking at Li Long's unexpected look, Liu Gong said proudly:
"I have a good business here, so the factory has relaxed. Some larger materials can be delivered. After all, we are creating benefits for the factory here now!" Li Long smiled. . No wonder Liu Gong’s mood and temperament are different now, and he has picked up the original feeling again.
"Then let's just count the total price." Li Long said, "I made some money in the first half of this year, and I took all these things. In your Zhigang's words, these things will definitely appreciate in the future. , buying now is investing, making money for yourself."
Mr. Liu shook his head without comment. "Mr. Liu, I think what he said is right. You should also leave yourself a few good materials, even if you don't carve it. After all, the seed materials are really getting less and less..."
There will be a lot of mountain materials in the future, but the seed materials will be less and less.
Mr. Liu is right to think about it, but he still has good materials left by himself. Of course, he can also feel that Li Long said this sincerely.
Thinking about Li Long making a lot of money in business, he has never been stingy when buying these materials. He thought to himself that if there are good materials, he can save a few pieces at home.
Now I have some spare money, and it’s not that I can’t afford it.
Li Long wrapped each piece of the jade in newspaper and put it in a black cloth bag.
These jadeware were carved by Master Liu himself, and they were all Hetian jade of level 2 or above, which was not cheap in terms of material or carving.
Mr. Liu must have given a friendly price. There are many people outside, so Li Long didn't say much. Now Mr. Liu is in a good mood and his business is good, which is quite good.
Even if you retire in the future, save a few good materials, you will know the price of these materials in more than ten years.
After all, let alone Hetian jade, the former brick material Qinghai jade, costs several thousand yuan a truck, but it suddenly surged dozens or hundreds of times after the new century, and it was judged by the price.
After forgetting the general account and paying the money, Li Long chatted with Liu Gong a few more words, saying that it might be winter next time, so he left the door room and left with a black bag.
Liu Gong sent Li Long out and watched him walk to the jeep, opened the car door and started, waved to himself, and drove away. Only then did Liu Gong realize that Comrade Li was hidden.
The worst person who can drive a car is the person around the leader.
The director of the Jade Carving Factory has not been able to get on this little jeep.
Be good!
Mr. Liu suddenly remembered that Li Long was talking about hiding jade, and immediately felt that the next step was to buy more raw materials from the factory.
Li Long drove his jeep away from the jade carving factory, seeing that it was almost time to get off work, so his next stop was only tomorrow.
The jeep drove to the target Bayi Agricultural College, and found a hotel in the yard nearby and stayed in.
The jeep is still a bit eye-catching outside. It has a yard, so it’s better if the car can be driven in.
The house price is not high, and a single room costs four yuan a night - cheaper than the Bayi Guesthouse.
The main place of the Bayi Guesthouse is different, with a large flow of people, so the price will naturally be higher. There is not that much traffic here. The jade carvings and bloodstones brought by Li Long are both valuable things.
Not to mention the bloodstone, the jade carvings I bought from Liu Gong all cost more than 500 yuan.
This is still a friendly price.
The real value is naturally higher, so Li Long has to be careful. Stay in a single room, rest assured.
For "high-end customers" like Li Long, the hotel manager was kind enough and provided hot water. He said that the dinner was good nearby. The store also provided videos, but the price was not high. A bowl of money.
Li Long smelled good, so he just ate it here.
He thought of having a good rest tonight and going to see Professor Wu early tomorrow morning.
This year, during this time he was working in the mountains, several families made insects by worms. The eldest brother was not here, and the eldest sister-in-law continued to use the response method left by Li Long last year to tell others, and she really treated the pests. Lived.
This must be thanked to Professor Wu. (This chapter ends)
