Chapter 124 Buying Two Trucks of Stones (2/2)
What is this? Why is it black?
Li Yong picks five pieces from more than a hundred stones. He points and says, “I’ll take these five stones. How much altogether?”
“5,000 yuan each, and 25,000 yuan altogether.” The boss says quickly with a treacherous smile.
He has never met such a buyer who buys so many stones at a time. Other buyers usually only buy one piece after picking for a long time. And they would bargain before paying, which is quite annoying.
Li Yong just gives a glance at the stones and then buys five pieces. Meeting such a generous customer, the shopkeeper is very happy and enthusiastic. He gives a cigarette to Li Yong, but Li Yong refuses.
“Here is 30,000 yuan. You can keep the change.” Li Yong hands him the bank card.
The shopkeeper thinks that he’s got it wrong. Having been doing business for so many years, it’s the first time for him to encounter such a strange customer who’s willing to pay more than the price. Li Yong has shining eyes, wears famous-brand clothes and shoes, and is followed by two beautiful ladies. The shopkeeper can be sure that this man is absolutely not stupid or kidding.
So, he immediately nods and says, “Okay, I’ll give you one more piece for free.”
“No, don’t. I’ll be mad at you if you do that.” Li Yong says angrily. There is nothing in the rest of the stones. He won’t take them.
The reason why he gives extra 5,000 is that he feels sorry for taking all the stones that have jade. The rest are all ordinary stones. There will be no jade in this shop for at least half a year.
“Then I’ll help you find the best master and cut your stones for free.” The shopkeeper is very zealous! He would even feel embarrassed not doing anything for Li Yong.
“Not necessary. We’ll just take them and cut by ourselves.” Li Yong says impatiently.
The shopkeeper smiles even more happily. He hurriedly takes out the POS machine and transfers 30,000 yuan from the card.
After paying, Li Yong waves his hands to the four porters, “Move the stones and load the truck.”
Han Lu and Han Fei look at each other in confusion. When the shopkeeper runs to help load the car, Han Lu couldn’t help it anymore, “Xiaoyong, are you stupid? You can’t waste money like this! Besides, is there really jade in these stones?”
At the moment, they hear people sighing not far away. A stone is cut with nothing in it.
“Brother Yong, those people have looked at a stone so carefully for a long time, but there’s still no jade. You buy these stones so casually. It is too impractical!” Han Fei is not satisfied either.
“Ignorant. You two just follow me and don’t talk.” Saying this, Li Yong goes to the next shop.
“It’s boring. Fei and I are going somewhere else.” Han Lu doesn’t want to follow Li Yong anymore. The more stones Li Yong buys, the angrier she gets.
It’s not that she cares about money, but that Li Yong is too unprofessional when buying stones.
“Don’t run about. We’re not familiar with this place. I can’t take care of you if you encounter bad guys.” Li Yong says seriously.
When it comes to personal safety, Han Lu has to listen to him and continue to follow Li Yong.
“Brother Yong, is that okay that you buy stones like this?” Han Fei says, “It would be better if I pick.”
“You can buy a few pieces if you’re interested.” Li Yong laughs.
“Okay!” Han Fei immediately runs into a store and begins to pick carefully like those old men with a magnifying glass.
“I’ll also pick one.” Han Lu is also eager to try. She thinks it is better to try her luck than stand still awkwardly.
“Brother Yong, how about this?” Han Fei has no patience at all and picks one very quickly.
Li Yong glances at it and shakes his head. There is nothing inside. But Han Fei has already called the porter and says happily, “I’ll take it. I like this stone when I first see it. Just write my name and load it.”
Han Lu looks for a long time, but eventually she buys nothing. Because she thinks this is too ridiculous. People don’t know where the stones come from, and they just buy them for gambling jade, which is too absurd.
Li Yong stands on the side of the road, opening his clairvoyant vision and looking at another shop. There are a large number of stones of different sizes and shapes. Only a few pieces of them have jade inside. He points at a few pieces and says to the shopkeeper, “I’ll buy all these. How much?”
“5,000 yuan each, and 35,000 yuan altogether.”
“Here is 40,000 yuan. Just keep the change and help me load the truck.”
“Okay, okay.” The shopkeeper is so excited that he hurriedly lifts the stones himself.
Li Yong buys more than 180 stones in more than ten shops. He wants to buy more, but the truck is full already. He has no choice but to stop for a while and call Du Duoduo.
At the moment, Du Duoduo has booked the hotel and is coming over.
When she arrives, Li Yong has already called another big truck and continues to buy stones.
Du Duoduo also has a very negative attitude towards his way of buying stones. She exchanges ideas with Han Lu and Han Fei. The three persons all believe that Li Yong has gone crazy. They try hard to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen at all.
After the two trucks are all filled with stones, Li Yong’s eyes suddenly become blurred. He feels dizzy and has to stop.
Using his clairvoyant vision for too long time makes him overworked. He now doesn’t have enough strength.
And now, he has almost visited all the shops in the square and bought almost all the stones that have jade inside. There is nothing valuable left.
