Chapter 0178 – Excuses

After arriving at the seafood hotel where Lao Si made the reservation. Zhuang Rui found that Fatty Ma actually also came with him, he recognized Song Jun, but the two apparently did not have any friendship, stood there and chatted for a few sentences were seated.

Song Jun is a typical official business, the first bucket of gold is estimated to be selling approvals to earn back, and is now doing business, but also most of the government and the government, and Fatty Ma is the representative of the grassroots, from the errand boy to a hundred million dollars, which the bitterness of the self will not say, I’m afraid that this will be two people in the heart have to look down on each other’s meaning.

Let Zhuang Rui some surprises, fat Ma in addition to bring the girl called Swallow, followed by him and a fifty or sixty years old dry and thin old man, fat Ma speech to the old man is very respectful, Zhuang Rui thought for a moment also understand, this should be the fat Ma looking for the stone master.

“Huh, Fourth Brother, why didn’t Brother Zhou come to dinner?”

Zhuang Rui looked around, did not see the figure of Zhou Rui, can not help but some strange.

“It’s still not your precious Tibetan mastiff! Brother Zhou said he was at the hotel with the white lion. Turn around and let’s give him a package to bring back.” Old four is holding the menu order, head did not lift back a sentence, said Zhuang Rui some embarrassment, with large dogs to Guangzhou this downtown hotel dinner, indeed some not very appropriate.

“Zhuang Rui, the White Lion is growing bigger and bigger, it will be inconvenient to bring it back in the future.” Lei Lei on the side said to Zhuang Rui, she almost didn’t dare to recognize the white lion when she saw it yesterday.

“What’s wrong? Older brother, how big has that snow mastiff of yours grown?” Song Jun couldn’t stop thinking about Zhuang Rui’s white lion.

“Alas, turn around and you’ll know when you see it, come on, let’s eat!”

Zhuang Rui laughed bitterly, he can not help it, the white lion this size is getting bigger and bigger, a lot of places are not suitable to take it, he has resigned, back to Pangcheng also want to re-look for a set of houses, since the neighborhood, the old man and the child is too much, although the white lion is not biting, if it scares other people that’s a very troublesome thing.

This meal ate a little bit dull, Zhuang Rui in his mind is not waiting to give Liu Chuan a phone call, let him go to find a set of houses, and Song Jun did not say much, just occasionally talk with his side of the master Peng a few sentences, Fatty Ma also, only Wei and the oldest and Lei Lei a few people. It was quite a conversation.

When he was almost finished eating, Song Jun received a phone call, hung up his cell phone, looked at the time, and then waved to Zhuang Rui and said, “Older brother, thank you for the hospitality of your classmates today, just now that the fixer who does jadeite wool business gave me a call, in another hour, eight o’clock to go to someone else’s house to see wool, how about it, you have time, don’t you? ”

“Yes! Of course I have time, this is also almost finished eating, I’ll say hello, let’s go first!”

Zhuang Rui and Wei Lao Si, they do not need to be polite, after giving a few people a word, and Song Jun got up, Lei Lei would have liked to follow to see, but their company’s gambling masters have not yet arrived, to go is also useless. So she didn’t ask for this favor.

When Zhuang Rui was about to walk out of the hotel, Fatty Ma rushed out, put his arm around Zhuang Rui’s shoulder and whispered: “Older brother, you can be a little unkind! My brother shouted you first, but you went with someone else instead, I’m not happy about it, fat brother.”

“Hey, Brother Ma, I came to Pingzhou this time because of Brother Song, we had an appointment a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn’t have rebuffed you yesterday!” Zhuang Rui made a bitter face and said half-truthfully.

“OK, then let’s talk about it later, following you Ma won’t make you suffer, our connections don’t have to be less than others.” After Fatty Ma heard Zhuang Rui’s words, his face got better, but this was said as if he wanted to make gas with Song Jun, hearing Zhuang Rui laugh bitterly.

“Cheng, Brother Ma, tomorrow if you are free, let’s go out again.”

Zhuang Rui promised in a row, Fatty Ma showed enthusiasm, let in is really some can’t eat, not to mention, on his more than two hundred pounds of body half pressed on Zhuang Rui, let Zhuang Rui some gasping over the air.

“OK, that’s it then.” Fatty Ma’s small eyes squinted as he laughed, patting Zhuang Rui’s shoulder. Releasing him.

“Zhuang Rui, Fatty Ma is a smiling tiger, you and he interact, pay attention ……” When the car drove on the highway to Pingzhou, Song Jun said to Zhuang Rui.

“I know, Brother Song, in fact, I have nothing to do with him, that is, a few months ago in the grassland black market to recognize, this you know ah!” Zhuang Rui also some guessing Ma Fatty’s mind, according to theory this private to pick jadeite raw material, go to the fewer people, the more they can buy, Ma Fatty did not make sense three times about their own to go together ah!

“En, just pay attention, this dead fat man is very set, sometimes you are being utilized without even knowing it.” Song Jun nodded, still gave one more explanation to Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui listened to this, this year, there is no love without a reason, there is no hate without a reason, er, it seems to be a line from which TV series.

Song Jun seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then opened his mouth again and said, “Older brother, you a moment if you fancy what wool, really want to buy it, I advise you best not to decode the stone, the stone will stay in the hand, after a few years, doubled a few times the problem is not too big, but you want to decode the stone in case of a loss, then, this is the loss of a big one.”

Song Jun’s words were kind, Zhuang Rui nodded, he actually had already made a note in his mind. This gambling conference, he will only go out to buy the wool, as for cutting the stone, he still tends to solve it later when he is alone, after all, the last time in Nanjing that time to solve the stone, spread throughout the entire gambling circle, this time, if he is in the limelight again, I am sure that some well-intentioned people will connect the two.

“House, it looks like we still need to hurry up and get the house in Pengcheng done.”

If really pick up any good wool, I’m afraid that the house at home is simply not enough to put, Zhuang Rui this will be some headache, simply took out his cell phone to Liu Chuan dialed a phone, let him to find a set of house.

“You want to buy a house? Also, raising a Tibetan mastiff to live in the downtown area, it is indeed not very convenient …… ” Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui’s phone call next to him and said this.

“Yeah! The white lion is too big now, bringing it out will scare people, in the future it can only live in the city and countryside of Peng.”

Zhuang Rui said somewhat helplessly, although having a car would be very convenient, but leaving the old house where he had lived for more than ten years, he would definitely be a bit uncomfortable at that time, and more importantly, Zhuang Rui hadn’t figured out how to persuade his mother to move out and live with him!

“I live in that place, is empty out a set of villas, the original landlord committed something, property are not forfeited, this set of villas may also be auctioned off, but the price is not cheap ……”

Song Jun words let Zhuang Rui heart moved a bit, to say do not like the environment of Yunlong Villa, that is pure bullshit, not to mention, on that villa in the garage behind the basement, Zhuang Rui on the greedy, he once saw in the home of the Song Jun, the basement has more than thirty square feet, set up a small set of stone cutting equipment are more than enough. And sound insulation is also good, I’m afraid that no one will ask if I set off firecrackers inside.

“Brother Song, what is the price of that villa?” Zhuang Rui asked cautiously.

“Government auction, the reserve price should not be very high, eight to ten million dollars or so! But the people who are staring at that house are quite a lot, the estimated transaction price should be between fifteen million and eighteen million, what’s the matter, you still really want to buy?” Song Jun knows Zhuang Rui’s background.

“Want to buy!”

Zhuang Rui nodded his head heavily, then said with a bitter smile, “But I don’t have the money! If not this time I wrestle a bit, bet a few stones to see, damn, I now 9 million of the family, out of four million to bet a bit, brother Song, at that time if the bet collapsed, that is considered little brother unlucky, if you can bet on it, that set of villa things, you can help me to keep an eye on ah!”

“You kid, usually look quite stable, this mind than Da Chuan more wild ah! Okay, as long as you can raise fifteen million dollars, that set of houses I’m sure to help you get down.”

Zhuang Rui face to make a look of gnashing teeth, Song Jun had thought to persuade a few words, but a look at Zhuang Rui this way, did not say anything more, to his identity, when the time to put out a little wind, said they want that set of houses, some people should be sold him a few points of face.

“OK, then I thank you first, Brother Song!”

Zhuang Rui heart happy flowers, betting on the stone anyway, either betting up or betting down, they have this excuse, by the time the cut stone up, other people should also just think that he is lucky, of course, Zhuang someone with a living Buddha given dzi bead bracelet, luck has always been good.

“You kid by the time the gambling loss will have to cry, I last year is too heavy gambling, cut down more than 20 million ……” Song Jun looked at Zhuang Rui’s excited look, resentful shook his head, but no longer speak.

After the car to Pingzhou, Song Jun first let Zhuang Rui put the car into the hotel parking lot, and then stood in front of the hotel and so on, up, that is, about five or six minutes time, a thirty-something years old with a moustache greeted the up, a face of apology to the Song Jun said: “Song boss, I’m really sorry, I’m a little late, let’s go now, right? ”

Song Jun looked like he was quite familiar with this person, and smiled and scolded, “Xiao Lin Zi, your kid can be a little bit of a spectrum this time! Last year, my more than 20 million dollars to buy the wool, opened a shit ground jade, this money is a small matter, face can lose a lot.”

“That’s, that’s, today went to this, his wool are from Burma Kokang old pit panned out, I think it will not be bad, Song boss your red face today, look is the star of fortune high ah!”

The man with the moustache accompanied the smile and nodded to Zhuang Rui and Master Peng, obviously categorizing the two of them into Song Jun’s entourage.

“Fuck off to the side, can you not be red in the face after just drinking? Cut the crap and lead the way in front.” Song Jun smiled and scolded.
