Shenhao starts with bragging about paying taxes

Li Tianyu was really curious.

At this moment, the two men started talking again.

The bald man: "Old Xiao, what time is it? Why isn't she here yet? Could it be that you let us go?"

Fat man: "Be safe and don't be impatient. It's not yet the appointed time. Such a big boss has a strong sense of time, so he will definitely not miss the appointment."

"Ding dong, ding dong."

While the two were talking, the door of COSTA Cafe opened and a bell rang.

The fat man looked up, feeling a little excited: "Here we come, we come."

Li Tianyu also glanced at the door, only to see a woman walking in.

At first glance, this woman's face was quite similar to Qin Xuetong's.

It seems that this is Qin Xuetong's mother herself.

Her mother is tall and well-maintained, and even upon closer inspection, it feels like she doesn't know her real age.

She has a good face, outstanding temperament, and shows a strong nobility in every gesture, obviously her status is not ordinary.

Said to be Zhu Yun's big boss, it seems that there is no difference.

Li Tianyu was right, this is Qin Xuetong's mother, Zhou Xirong, the boss of Zhu Yun Jewelry.

A person as big as Zhou Xirong, of course, did not come alone, there were two people behind him.

One is female and the other is male.

The woman was very young, in her twenties, her name was Lu Min, and she was Zhou Xirong's assistant.

The man's name is Tian Ji, and he looks quite old. He wears small glasses and looks like an old-time intellectual.

Anyway, this guy named Tian Ji is definitely not a bodyguard, with such a small body, Li Tianyu beat him ten like chickens.

If it's not a bodyguard, then it must be a so-called expert.

It's just that Li Tianyu still doesn't know what kind of expert Tian Ji is.

At this time, the fat man and the two bald men stood up when they saw Zhou Xirong.

Zhou Xirong understood immediately, and brought the two of them to the opposite side of the second man.

The fat man immediately extended his hand: "Ms. Zhou, I am Xiao Qiming, and this is my partner named Mao Yunyi."

Zhou Xirong didn't put on airs, and directly shook hands with the fat man Xiao Qiming.

Several people sat down.

The fat man immediately signaled Mao Yunyi to buy coffee.

Zhou Xirong stopped the two of them: "Mr. Xiao, just let my assistant go."

At some point, Lu Min had already gone to the front desk and was ordering coffee with the waiter.

Xiao Qiming chuckled: "It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Ms. Zhou is indeed an outstanding person, and she is completely worthy of the words "both talent and appearance."

Mao Yunyi nodded: "Yes, yes, you are not an ordinary woman at first glance."

Xiao Qiming elbowed Mao Yunyi: "What are you talking about, this is not ordinary people, including women."

Mao Yunyi: "That's right! It's my stupid mouth!"

Zhou Xirong's face remained unchanged: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Mao, you insist on seeing me, isn't it just to say these things?"

Xiao Qiming said "Oh": "Of course not, we are indeed here for business."

Zhou Xirong: "Okay then, let's get down to business."

Xiao Qiming: "No problem, Maozi, take out the things."

Mao Yunyi let out an "hey", and immediately turned around to search from the bag beside him.

That bag is quite special, it is a yellow canvas bag with zipper in the 90s and [-]s.

That's nostalgia.

The bag was very big, and Mao Yunyi tossed and tossed in it for a long time, and finally took out something.

The thing was wrapped in newspaper, which looked very casual, but it was wrapped thickly, which showed that he cherished this thing very much.

At this time, Lu Min had brought over five large cups of vanilla latte, and added sugar in advance.

After dividing it among everyone, Lu Min sat down quietly.

Li Tianyu watched the situation over there while drinking coffee.

He was quite curious about what was in the newspaper.

Whatever it was, it wasn't small, about the size of a football.

Moreover, that thing is not light, like a rock.

I saw Mao Yunyi and Xiao Qiming working together to open the newspaper outside.

One floor was opened, another, and then another, four or five floors were opened, and finally the stuff inside was revealed.

It turned out that it was a stone.

Li Tianyu immediately understood.

This is a rough stone.

Li Tianyu is not an insider, just guessing that there is either a rough emerald stone or a rough gem stone.

Anyway, it must have something to do with jewelry and jade.

After all, Zhu Yun is a jewelry company, all of which are jewelry and other luxury goods.

These two people must use this rough stone to cheat Zhou Xirong of money.

Of course, it is not easy to deceive such a big boss.

At least the appearance of this rough stone must be quite good.

Sure enough, the stone opened a window.

The so-called "window opening" is actually like buying a watermelon, opening a hole in the outer skin of the rough stone, so that you can see what's going on inside.

And the "window" of this rough stone reveals a piece of green.

Reflecting the sunlight coming from the window of the cafe, it even reflected the green light.

It is both gratifying and dazzling.

Zhou Xirong, who was still very serious at first, saw this piece of green, her eyes lit up, she was obviously surprised.

Even a layman like Li Tianyu knows that this rough stone is definitely the best.

At least it seems so.

Zhou Xirong finally showed a smile: "No wonder you must see me, so there is such a treasure."

Xiao Qiming and Mao Yunyi looked at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes.

The "big fish" really took the bait.

It's no wonder that as long as you are in the jewelry industry, as long as you see such a rough stone, you will be very excited.

Because the green that comes out of the window is the so-called "imperial green"!

Zhou Xirong: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Mao, I don't know where you two got this stone."

Xiao Qiming chuckled: "Let me tell you, this is something from my brother Maozi's house."

Zhou Xirong was stunned: "The things at home? What do you mean?"

Mao Yunyi responded: "It's the stone used to press the pickle jar in our house."

The two of you talked to each other, and they told the "ins and outs" of the matter.

It turned out that Xiao Qiming usually likes to play stone gambling. He has won and lost, so he can be regarded as an experienced player.

As for Mao Yunyi, who lives in a small village in a remote mountainous area, he is a farmer who works all day long.

Mao Yunyi's clothes now can indeed confirm this point, anyway, it exudes a strong local atmosphere.

In fact, Xiao Qiming and Mao Yunyi are from the same hometown, or distant relatives.

Mao Yunyi: "He is the nephew of my mother's aunt's third uncle's second sister-in-law."

Zhou Xirong felt a headache and waved her hand to let them continue talking.

Xiao Qiming has been away from his hometown for more than ten years, and occasionally goes back to visit during the Chinese New Year.

Just a month ago, Xiao Qiming went to Mao Yunyi's house as a guest, and happened to see this big stone pressing the pickle jar.

Xiao Qiming pointed to the stone and said excitedly: "When I saw the skin of this stone, I felt something was wrong. The color was very abnormal. This is not an ordinary mountain rock at all, but a rough stone."

Zhou Xirong heard this, took a sip of coffee, and said lightly: "So, you are an expert?"

Xiao Qiming: "Hehe, I'm not even an expert, but I often play this game, so I still have basic eyesight."

Xiao Qiming fell in love with this stone and wanted to buy it from Mao Yunyi.

But Mao Yunyi is more stubborn. This stone has been crushing his pickle jar for many years. Why should he sell it?

Zhou Xirong: "He didn't sell it because you didn't pay enough."

Xiao Qiming shook his head: "That's really not true. My brother is not stupid. If he pays too little, he won't sell it. If he pays too much, he starts to doubt again."

Mao Yunyi: "Yeah, why did he spend so much money on this stone of mine? There must be something in it!"

Zhou Xirong: "So you just said it?"

Xiao Qiming: "Of course, Ming people don't do secret things, and I'm not a liar, so I told him my thoughts directly, so we opened a window to see what's going on inside."

"No, it really didn't disappoint me, and a baby was born right away."

"Mr. Zhou, you can see that this is definitely not an ordinary green jadeite, it belongs to the top-grade ice jadeite, and it is also emperor green!"

After these words were finished, Xiao Qiming and Mao Yunyi became quiet.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed, it depends on how Zhou Xirong reacts.

Of course Zhou Xirong would not trust these two so easily.

She pondered for a while, then turned to Tian Ji and said, "Teacher Tian, ​​what about this stone?"

Teacher Tian is of course referring to Tian Ji, he is Zhou Xirong's "Queen Expert".

Tian Ji let out a "hey" and took out some tools from his bag.

Bright flashlight, and magnifying glass.

These two things are used to identify rough jadeite.

An expert is an expert, and Tian Ji's movements are called a professional.

First, I used a strong flashlight to scratch on the outer skin of the rough stone, and I looked at almost every piece, especially the green piece. I looked at it again and again, quite seriously.

I watched it for about ten minutes.

During this time, other people just watched like this, no one spoke, and they didn't even dare to breathe out.

Finally, Tian Ji put down the flashlight.

Just as Mao Yunyi was about to speak, Tian Ji picked up the magnifying glass again.

He pointed the magnifying glass at the piece of green again, and looked at it for 8 or [-] minutes, during which time he continued to shine light on it with a flashlight.

Li Tianyu couldn't bear it anymore, and went out to use the bathroom.

Come back and have a look.

What the hell!

This frog is still watching.

Brother, if you keep watching like this, we won't have to do anything this afternoon.

Finally, Tian Ji put down both the magnifying glass and the strong flashlight.

Mao Yunyi clutched his chest and said, "What, how? Is it a good thing?"

Tian Ji didn't answer, but looked at Zhou Xirong.
