Chapter 0196 – Crazy Stone (VI)
Although the two bank cards are light and have no weight, but holding them in Lao San’s hand, they are like a thousand pounds, weighing him down a bit, he knows that Zhuang Rui is interested in taking care of him, but this sentiment is just too heavy.
“Okay, Lao San, take it if it’s for you! Don’t be pretentious, the youngest is now a capitalist, I heard that the girl also opened a mastiff and auto body shop, don’t be polite with him ah! In the future to give birth to a big fat kid, brother a few are going to be godfather.”
Yue Jing brother to see the old three eyes a little red, like moving feelings, and quickly reached out from the table to pick up a bank card, very exaggerated to their own money clip, and then looked around, put on a look of prevention of thieves, teased the crowd laugh. The original somewhat heavy atmosphere suddenly became lighthearted.
In fact, no wonder Lao San was excited, when Zhuang Rui got the first three million eight hundred thousand, his performance wasn’t much better than Lao San’s, the feeling was almost the same as winning the lottery, a kind of feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky.
“Elder brother Zhuang, why are you sitting here?”
Zhuang Rui’s few people were nibbling on a watermelon and chatting first when a voice interjected.
“Hey, Brother Ma, you’re here too, how’s it going, how’s the harvest?”
Zhuang Rui turned around and looked, a sweaty Fatty Ma with the girl, just walked into the shed, the body that sweat, has long been the upper body that piece of body shirt to soak through.
Fatty Ma came in after also did not polite, fishing up the table on the watermelon on the eat up, also did not forget to the side of the swallow handed over a piece, after eating wiped his mouth, said: “Do not mention it, this day unlucky through, my gambling master last night do not know what to eat bad things, this morning early on vomiting and diarrhea, can not, I sent him to the hospital to hang water, since the first to turn around. ”
Good wool is usually set as a dark bid, and the gambling conference still has three days to open the dark bid. Fatty Ma is not in a hurry, after today there are still two days, his main goal is still on the dark label, because most of the dark label is to open the skylight performance is good wool, the most suitable for stockpiling.
“With your old brother’s eyesight, but also what ‘eyes’ ah! Just go and see for yourself.” Zhuang Rui know fat Ma eyesight strange poison, is to say so.
“Older brother ah! Art has specialization, like me this bottle of water is not full of water, half bottle of water wobbling people, is the most easy to go out of sight to suffer losses.”
Fatty Ma this is a good point, he used to play antiques, can be judged from the seller’s demeanor in the authenticity of the antiques to, but this jadeite wool, that is, the seller does not know whether there is actually no jadeite inside, so Fatty Ma is also no way.
“By the way, old brother, this stall is eighty-three, right? I just entered the field on hearing people say here bet up, which only rushed over to see, what is the situation ah? Introduce it to old brother.”
As Fatty Ma spoke. Eyes on the table remaining a few cards above swept a glance, and then a look at Zhuang Rui’s expression, immediately will be the eyeballs staring round, surprised to ask: “Zhuang old brother, this …… this, just now gambling on the stone of the person, will not be you right?”
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and said, “It’s really me, but it didn’t make much money, a total of only three million, not into the eyes of your old brother.”
“I say you kid …… how this luck is so good ah! No, turn around you have to pick a piece of wool for me to go.”
Fatty Ma a pair of eyes up and down to look at Zhuang Rui, he looked a little hairy, no matter what people, there are secrets in the heart, always afraid of being seen by others, Zhuang Rui hastily said: “Brother Ma, I give you to choose wool no problem, if you lose, I do not care about it!”
“I also recognize the loss, with the string of living Buddha dzi beads in your hands, want to lose are difficult.”
Fatty Ma’s words, but let Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that all the people who know him, all his good luck, attributed to this string of heavenly beads.
While Zhuang Rui was chatting with Fatty Ma, he didn’t notice that not far from this stall. A pair of malicious eyes, was staring dead on Zhuang Rui’s body, his eyes were full of resentment, and seemed to have a hint of disbelief.
Xu Wei just heard the sound of firecrackers, only rushed over, although came a little late, but just to see Zhuang Rui and Qi boss deal with that piece of jadeite material, to the side of the people to inquire, only to know that Zhuang Rui just spend 10,000 yuan, actually bet up, which makes Xu Wei remember the last time in Nanjing gambling collapse of the three million, more and more resentful of Zhuang Rui up.
“Damn, Dabiao this kid is not reliable, did not say that Zhuang Rui received his slap, at least to lie in bed for a month?”
Looking at Zhuang Rui’s laughing and joking appearance, where there was a trace of injured appearance, Xu Wei could not help but think hatefully in his heart.
Beside Xu Wei, there were two other people standing, one was an old man in his early sixties, this was their family’s gambling master who participated in this Pingzhou Gambling Conference, and the other person, who was also graying at the temples, was around sixty years old. Wearing a white practicing suit, between his eyes, he carried an indescribable aura, so he must be someone who had been in a position of power for a long time.
“Let’s go! Go take a look at that gambling up stall, Master Zhao, I’m counting on you this time.”
The old man in the white practicing clothes said lightly and took the lead to walk over to where Zhuang Rui was.
This old man was Xu Zhendong, the contemporary helmsman of Xu’s Jewelry, Xu’s Jewelry’s main base was in Guangzhou, originally, the participation in the Pingzhou Gambling Conference was someone else, but yesterday, Xu Zhendong suddenly received a phone call from a few of the most important jade suppliers. The request was to terminate the supply of jade raw materials with them, and no reason was given.
Just a few months ago on the Myanmar jadeite fair, Xu Jewelry is also a failure to return, spent more than eighty million bidding to bet back on the wool, only to recover more than ten million of the cost of Xu Jewelry can be described as a big blow to Xu Jewelry, relative to Xu Wei in Nanjing gambling collapse of more than three million, simply even if it is nothing.
Losses in Burma, coupled with the domestic supplier to cancel the contract, so Xu’s jewelry will soon be faced with the dilemma of a lack of raw materials, so Xu Zhendong personally, hoping to buy some good jadeite wool in Pingzhou, in order to solve the pressing problem.
Xu Wei is Xu Zhendong’s own nephew, on this nephew who returned from overseas studies, although in this half a year in the middle of some things, Xu Zhendong still has high hopes, will transfer him to the Northwest Branch, but also intentionally want to sharpen him, so this gambling conference, Xu Zhendong will still Xu Wei stay with him, want to let him more contact some professional knowledge and jade line colleagues.
“Hm? Xu Wei, why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Xu Zhendong had walked out seven or eight meters away, and when he looked back, Xu Wei was still standing in the same place, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Oh, coming, big uncle.”
Xu Wei didn’t want to go to stall number eighty-three from the bottom of his heart, because then he would definitely meet up with Zhuang Rui, although Dabiao wasn’t by his side right now, and Xu Wei had full certainty in his heart that he could be sure that Zhuang Rui didn’t know that what had happened at the unseasonal airport was his doing, but as the saying goes that the heart of a thief is a thief’s heart, Xu Wei still didn’t want to make any contact with Zhuang Rui in a positive way.
Is and Ma fat man and other people gossip Zhuang Rui, suddenly feel that there is a gaze has been watching himself, twisted even to the shed outside to look. Exactly opposite to Xu Wei’s eyes, the suppressed anger in Zhuang Rui’s heart instantly burned up, his body stood up in a flash and shouted, “Xu Wei!”
Xu Zhendong, who was walking in front, heard the shout, glanced at Zhuang Rui and said to Xu Wei behind him, “Xu Wei, is it for you? If you’re a friend, go over and say hello! Master Zhao and I will go look at the wool first.”
Xu Wei who intentionally walked in the direction behind Zhuang Rui, couldn’t help but scream in his heart, or was seen by Zhuang Rui, Xu Wei was afraid that his eldest uncle would know about the conflict between himself and Zhuang Rui, he hardened his heart and still walked over.
“His name is Xu Wei? Oldest, isn’t he the one who counted on you at the airport?”
Hearing the name shouted out from Zhuang Rui’s mouth, the oldest also stood up with a face full of anger.
The white lion also seemed to have sensed the hostility emanating from Zhuang Rui’s body, emitting a low roar of “whimpering” from its mouth, its eyes staring at the figure that walked in.
When Zhuang Rui saw the appearance of Lao San and the white lion, the anger in his heart calmed down a lot, not that he didn’t want to teach Xu Wei a lesson here, but he was afraid that the white lion would start its wildness and tear Xu Wei alive, we must know that although the white lion has always been very obedient, but in case of it going berserk, Zhuang Rui didn’t have the ability to stop it, if that happened then it would be more than worth the loss.
“Third brother, take it easy, I’ll take care of it myself.” Zhuang Rui forcefully pressed Lao San back into his chair and greeted Xu Wei himself.
“So it’s really Mr. Xu! I thought my eyes were blurred and I recognized the wrong person, by the way, Mr. Xu is really dedicated, he only got off the plane yesterday, and he came to this trade fair today, tsk, really admirable.”
Zhuang Rui’s words with a stick in his mouth made Xu Wei’s heart hit a jolt, “Could it be that he recognized me yesterday?” Looking at the several pairs of unkind eyes in the shed, Xu Wei somewhat regretted coming inside the shed, if this is a fight, the immediate loss is certain.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Xu Wei made a puzzled look and said, “Boss Zhuang saw me yesterday? No way! I came to Guangzhou a week ago, maybe you recognized the wrong person?”
Looking at Xu Wei’s hypocritical face, Zhuang Rui exerted a lot of effort to control his urge to not throw a punch at that face, his mind was rapidly calculating how he could avenge that slap.
The matter of breaking Xu’s jewelry supplier was something that Zhuang Rui had asked Elder Gu to do, but even so, it couldn’t eliminate Zhuang Rui’s hatred towards Xu Wei.
“Zhuang boss, I still have to go shopping for wool, will not talk more, some other day there is time, I host, we sit together, the previous some small misunderstanding is nothing!” See Zhuang Rui’s face suddenly clear and dark, Xu Wei’s heart is weak, and quickly snorted, turned around and left.
“Shopping for wool?”
Looking at Xu Wei’s back, the corner of Zhuang Rui’s mouth drew an arc.
