Chapter 489
Before Zhu Guoqing made an appointment with He Qing today, he met Hou Yaping first.
He had received news that Boss Qiu had a large jadeite rough stone that had been stored for several years.
The rough stone looked good, but the cracks were very deep. It was okay to fool a novice, but it was difficult to fool an expert.
Zhu Guoqing's task today was to praise Meng Haisheng highly and then let him buy Walnut Mountain.
After he started to praise, he asked Zhu Guoqing to add fuel to the fire and buy a huge jadeite mountain worth 400,000 yuan in Boss Qiu's backyard.
That stone, known as the Big Mac, had been there since the founding of the country, but it was a pity that it could not be sold.
The Big Mac changed several owners, and was finally bought by Hou Jingchen's grandfather, who said that if the Hou family encountered great difficulties one day, they could cut the Big Mac and let the Hou family make a comeback.
Later, Hou Jingchen's grandfather passed away, and the stone was passed to Hou Jingchen, the eldest grandson.
In the past few years, when the world was better, Hou Jingchen had asked people to look at this giant, but unfortunately no one was willing to buy it.
The reason was simple. The giant did not look good at all. It was full of cracks of all sizes.
Anyone with a clear mind would not spend a sky-high price to buy a giant.
It is estimated that even the white stone inside would be covered with cracks after one cut.
Hou Jingchen had thought about it before he wanted Meng Haisheng to fall into the trap of gambling on stones. He not only wanted to make Meng Haisheng lose his fortune and ruin his reputation, but also made him the scapegoat. He dealt with the broken stone in his hand.
Hou Jingchen did not want Zhu Guoqing to work in vain. If he could make this deal happen, Hou Jingchen would give Zhu Guoqing another 50,000 yuan in benefits.
Driven by money, Zhu Guoqing ignored everything.
He kept encouraging Meng Haisheng to buy Walnut Mountain.
"Boss, I think this Walnut Mountain is very good. Although it is a little cracked, such a large circle of colored python belt will definitely not be eaten completely."
"Besides, Walnut Mountain is not expensive, only 60,000 yuan. For the boss, you can make a lot of money by just opening it."
Zhu Guoqing was very colorless, nagging here, which made Meng Haisheng a little disgusted.
When will a small minion under his command treat himself as a dish in front of him?
"Boss Meng, if you really want to buy Walnut Mountain, I can give you a discount."
"What is the lowest price that Boss Qiu can pay?"
Seeing that Zhu Guoqing still wanted to nag, Meng Haisheng waved his hand at Zhu Guoqing, signaling him to shut up.
Zhu Guoqing, who was interrupted by Meng Haisheng, was very unhappy, but there was a faint smile on his face.
He thought very viciously in his heart, Meng Haisheng, you can show off, I'm waiting to see the day when you fall into trouble.
"Boss Meng, if you really want it, just give me 50,000 yuan. This jadeite rough stone from Walnut Mountain is still very good."
Meng Haisheng asked Boss Qiu to move Walnut Mountain out of the corner and wash it with water.
He picked up a small flashlight and shone it along the largest crack. He saw a piece of emerald green, which was very beautiful.
"Boss Qiu, based on the appearance of Walnut Mountain, I will give you 20,000 yuan."
Meng Haisheng put away the flashlight and looked at Boss Qiu very seriously.
Although he knew that Walnut Mountain would definitely increase in price, he still had to bargain when it was time to bargain.
Twenty thousand yuan now can buy a small courtyard in Beijing. At this price, it is really not cheap for ordinary people.
Boss Qiu hesitated a little. When he bought Walnut Mountain several years ago, he also bought it for nearly 20,000 yuan.
After so many years, he didn't make any money. To be honest, he was a little hesitant.
"Boss Qiu, if you feel it's OK, I'll pay directly. If you feel it's not OK, I won't force you."
Seeing that He Qing's jadeite had been cut, Meng Haisheng wanted to step forward and call him away.
Since he wanted to make a pair of bracelets for Meng Qianqian, he naturally wanted to introduce a good master to him, rather than just polishing a bracelet.
"Boss Meng, please stay. You are also straightforward. I'll pay 20,000 for Walnut Mountain. Just consider it as getting to know Boss Meng as a friend. Please come to patronize my business more in the future."
Meng Haisheng agreed with a smile. He would not be easily bought by a few nice words.
Zhu Guoqing, who was standing aside, was overjoyed when he saw Meng Haisheng finally pay. He was very servile and went to find someone to cut the stone.
Zhu Guoqing was usually not as attentive as he was today. Although he was a little flattering to Meng Haisheng, he was not to the point of being attentive.
If someone is attentive, he is either a traitor or a thief. I'm afraid Zhu Guoqing is holding back something bad.
But Meng Haisheng was very curious. The two of them had no grudges against each other, so what good would it do for him if he got into trouble?
"Boss Qiu, when you cut the stone, cut it from the top of the walnut down piece by piece."
"Ah?"
Boss Qiu was a little dumbfounded. He had never seen a large jadeite stone cut in this way."Boss Meng, for this kind of material, we usually cut directly from the python belt."
"I understand what Boss Qiu means, but I feel that the jade inside the Walnut Mountain has no cracks. It is safest to cut from the top. If we cut from the python belt, it would be a pity to cut out a good piece of jade without cracks inside."
Boss Qiu was amused. The surface was cracked like this, and even if the inside was not cracked into a spider web, it would be almost the same.
But Meng Haisheng paid for it, so he didn't waste any words and quickly asked someone to come and cut the stone.
Boss Qiu's Walnut Mountain is quite famous on the antique street, and I don't know how many people have seen it.
Today, someone finally bought it to cut the stone. As soon as the news spread, many people immediately gathered around to see what Walnut Mountain could cut.
Hou Jingchen, who received the news, also came quietly.
He sat in the teahouse opposite and kept watching the movement here.
The sound of the stone cutting machine was deafening, and after a while, the first piece of material was cut off.
As expected, the top was all white and flowery stone, with all kinds of small cracks on it.
"Boss Meng, are we still cutting it this way?"
"Cut, one piece at a time."
"Okay."
The second piece was cut, and it was still stone, without even a hint of green.
Some people in the crowd couldn't hold back.
"This boss can't be a newcomer, is he too rich? He spent 20,000 yuan to buy a cracked stone like Walnut Mountain."
"He looks unfamiliar, he doesn't look like someone who often comes to play with stones."
"Boss Qiu must be so happy today that he met such a sucker."
"That's right, Walnut Mountain has been here since I started playing with stones, and the stone that no one was optimistic about was bought by a fool today."
Several people gathered together and laughed at Meng Haisheng.
Hou Jingchen, who was in the teahouse opposite, heard everything.
Look, even if Meng Haisheng was good, he still fell into his hands.
Just wait and see, this is just the beginning, he will suffer later.
