Pixiu Rearing Guide

Kowloon, Hong Kong.

In the exhibition hall of Christie’s Spring Auctions, an old man over sixty years old was lying in front of the display case studying stone gambling. Beside him stood a young man who looked like an assistant, and handed over his mobile phone with a slight bow.

"Mr. He, there is a client who wants to talk to you."

The old man slowly took off his gold-rimmed glasses, squinted at the unfamiliar number on the phone screen, and took it over: "I'm He Dirong."

The name He Dirong is no stranger in the jade circle.

He Laoben is a well-known jade appreciation expert in China, but because of his sincere obsession with jadeite, he has published several books on jadeite and created a set of "Phaseology of Jade", which is also very prestigious in the stone gambling industry.But he has always kept a low profile, so even if he took a fancy to "good stones", he still got them through telephone auctions, so He Dirong was a little surprised when he received such a "business call".

"Mr. He, long-awaited." There was a young man on the other end of the phone: "Student Du Ziyu, I would take the liberty to call you this time. In fact, I have an unfeeling request..."

"But it's okay to say." Mr. He paced back and forth, handing the strong flashlight to the assistant.

"The student got straight to the point, so don't worry about it." The phone murmured for a while: "I also caught a glimpse of the gambling stone you received a few days ago during the preview, but it's a pity that I missed it because of a mistake in the auction." Good stuff. Of course, I am calling you now not to ask for a breakup, but to hope that when Mr. He explains the stone, you can let the students follow along and study, so that they can feast their eyes on it."

The old man's face darkened, and he laughed twice: "You are very good at talking about one student at a time! Do you know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to be my students?" Shi Chengbin: "The brat wants to play tricks on me? Don't use your studies as a cover. I think you are looking for an opportunity to catch the leak, right?"

"Mr. He must have leaks to pick up!" Du Ziyu also smiled: "Mr. He, let me tell you sincerely, if you want to sell this stone after you solve it, what price do you get? Another hundred thousand."

"You're not big, but you have a big voice?" He Dirong snorted.

"Don't dare to speak out, it's just sincerity, it all depends on whether you give him a chance or not, Mr. He."

"Okay, I want to let the assistant contact you." After He Dirong finished speaking, he returned the phone to the assistant and said, "Save the number for me."

On the hotel shuttle bus, Du Ziyu hung up the phone and said directly to the driver, "Go to Gongbei Pass."

"Aren't you going to the pier?" Li Wu was stunned: "Aren't you going back to Hong Kong?"

Du Ziyu caressed the dark green Pixiu on his chest thoughtfully: "Pass the test and go to Foshan."

"Why go to Foshan?" Li Wu couldn't keep up with Du Ziyu's thoughts.

Du Ziyu smiled, and said with something in his words: "Go and wait for the stone."

-

Pingzhou, Foshan is the largest jade trading market in China, and it is also the largest distribution center for Burmese jade. On Pingzhou Jade Street, there are thousands of workshop-style jade factories. Stone.

When Du Ziyu and the others arrived in Foshan, it was already midnight. Li Wu proposed to book a hotel, but was stopped by Du Ziyu. The three of them took a taxi and went straight to Pingzhou. , Du Ziyu led Li Wu and Shen Shi to a small stone workshop behind Yuqi Street.

The shop is small and deserted. There is a ten-year-old kid sitting by the counter, holding his head and holding his mobile phone to play mini games. When he sees someone coming, his eyes light up when he turns his head. Ya: "Brother Ziyu!" As he spoke, he yelled behind the counter: "Dad! Look who's coming!"

The curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a thin middle-aged man came in from the workshop. He was taken aback when he saw Du Ziyu: "Brother Du, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"Brother Zhou!" Du Ziyu called him affectionately, and went over to rub the child's head: "By the way, come and have a look."

"What? Do you have business?" This middle-aged man is called Zhou Dahai, and he is Du Ziyu's supplier in Guangzhou. Although the business is not big and the supply is limited, his jade carving skills are first-class.

"Hey, I'm here to play." Du Ziyu said it, and introduced Li Wu to him. After a few greetings, Zhou Dahai stopped asking.At this time, Du Ziyu took out a small paper bag from his briefcase, opened it and pushed it to Zhou Dahai. Inside was tied the Tai Chi Jadeite Pearl that Li Wu wanted.

"Brother Zhou, I want to change this bead into a pair of earrings." Du Ziyu said, found a pen and paper, and drew a simple pattern: "It needs to be covered with hidden silver outside." He said, thought for a while, and added: "The best ones are from Nepal. They are hard and easy to carve."

"Tsk... Brother Du... Platinum and gold inlays are easy to get, you Nepalese Tibetan silver, it's not so easy to find..."

"No hurry, Brother Zhou, help me find it slowly," Du Ziyu laughed, "I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll just stay here for a few days as a tourist."

"Okay, put the things here first, and I'll ask you." Zhou Dahai nodded.

"By the way, there is one more thing. If there is a good stone cutter these days..."

"I must be calling you!" Zhou Dahai laughed and took over the conversation. Although Yuqi Street is not a small place, if someone cuts stones, the news will be known to every shop within 10 minutes. Not to mention cutting a good stone: "Every time I come back, I can join in the fun, I don't know you boy!"

Du Ziyu smiled, gestured OK to Zhou Dahai, and then left.

"Do you really think Mr. He can come here to cut stones?" Li Wu leaned forward and asked as he stepped out of the door.

Du Ziyu seemed very calm: "If you want to cut such a big wool, you have to use a chainsaw, or if he doesn't cut it, you have to come to Pingzhou!"

"Come on! Then let's listen to you, Young Master Du, and wait!" Li Wu spread his hands, turned to see Shen Shi, and suddenly said: "Hey! That's right! You kid made so much money in Macau, so don't invite us today Have a meal? Foshan is famous for its gourmet food, let’s go! Come here, you can’t treat anything badly!”

Du Ziyu followed suit and nodded: "Just to teach you how to swipe the card." Saying so, he looked around: "There is a good Cantonese restaurant nearby..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Shi walked obliquely forward, Du Ziyu followed him and saw a gold shop. He was a little surprised and followed him a few steps: "Want to buy gold?"

Shen Shi took out the magnetic card in his pocket, shook it: "I can use it as I like?"

"Your money, of course you can do whatever you want." Du Ziyu smiled.

Shen Shi nodded, and actually entered the gold shop.

"I can't tell, this kid is quite rustic?" Li Wu followed Du Ziyu into the gold shop one after the other, and couldn't help but make fun of it.Du Ziyu shrugged, he couldn't imagine Shen Shi wearing a bunch of big gold chains.

However, Shen Shi was not interested in gold ornaments. He went straight to the display counter, looked at it for a long time, picked out the simplest gold ingot, and looked back at Du Ziyu.

"Give her the card." Du Ziyu raised his chin, Shen Shi handed over the card, and the salesperson swiped it directly, no password needed.

"Credit card?" Li Wu was stunned, then turned to stare at Du Ziyu: "Is this your attached card?"

Du Ziyu hummed, and Li Wu immediately clicked his tongue: "You boy, you gave him 50 yuan and just gave him a credit card?"

"His money is also in this card."

"Du Ziyu, are you okay? Put money in the credit card?"

"No one intends to withdraw this money. It's too troublesome to open another account. Put it in a card for him to spend." Du Ziyu seemed indifferent, and wrote lightly: "If he really needs cash, spend my money, and the other It’s good to swipe my card.” Then, he walked to the counter and taught Shen Shi how to sign the card swiping slip.

Li Wu stared at Du Ziyu's back in a daze, and couldn't help muttering: "Damn it, Ziyu is doing long-term investment..."

On Du Ziyu's side, the salesman handed over the packaged gold ingots, and Shen Shi suddenly asked without thinking, "Can I buy a few more?"

"Are you buying so many gold ingots to cook and eat?" Du Ziyu laughed: "Silly boy, if you really think that gold preserves its value, we buy gold bars and don't buy this kind of decorative gold, you know?"

Shen Shi nodded half-understood, and muttered: "It doesn't taste good when it's cooked."

"Huh?" Du Ziyu didn't hear clearly, but he understood Shen Shi's reluctant expression, and smiled: "Forget it, it's rare that you want to spend money, so just buy it."

"This, how much more?" Shen Shi immediately asked the salesman.

"We still have 11 in stock in the store, you...have all of them?"

Shen Shi nodded, and handed over the credit card with ease: "Swipe the card."

As a result, three people came out of the gold shop, each carrying two gold jewelry gift boxes in one hand, the aura of local tyrants was overwhelming.

Back at the hotel that night, Shen Shi spread jewelry boxes all over the bed, opened a gold ingot and gave it to his mouth, Du Ziyu hurriedly grabbed him, and said helplessly: "I said Shen Shi, you are really going to bite one by one!" Take a bite? Ruddy!" Smiling, he snatched the ingot from his mouth and put it back, Du Ziyu forcibly cleaned up a pile of gold ornaments, lifted the quilt and lay on the bed, patted his side, and called Shen Shi: "Come and sleep."

"..." Shen Shi glanced at the jewelry bag, slowly climbed onto the bed, and lay side by side with Du Ziyu.

"Shen Shi, let me ask you, did you really win the 50 by luck?" Du Ziyu wanted to ask this question when he came out of the casino, but it's just one thing after another, and now he has the chance to ask.

Shen Shi thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right."

Du Ziyu turned his face to look at Shen Shi, feeling a little disappointed for a while.In fact, he has always suspected that Shen Shi also has some kind of supernatural ability, just like his own eyes, he always hoped that what he suspected was true, just like a lone wolf longing to return to the pack, he longed for someone of the same kind.

"Are you unhappy?" Shen Shi also looked at Du Ziyu.

Du Ziyu shook his head, Shen Shi suddenly opened his arms towards him and said, "Come and hug."

"Huh?" Du Ziyu was stunned.

"You like to hug." Shen Shi concluded naturally.

"..." Du Ziyu was at a loss for words: "Shen Shi, you kid... Do you still remember that I took care of you?"

"En." Shen Shi nodded, and continued: "Come here and give me a hug."

"Hold me!" Du Ziyu whitened him, turned over abruptly, and turned off the bedside lamp: "Sleep."
