Chapter 47 – Zou Xiaotong – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

“Did I hear you right? Boss Zhao you’re not kidding?”

“That thirty-eight thousand dollars you said, is that thirty-eight thousand dollars?”

Zhao skimmed his lips and said Then what do you think I said.

I forced myself to hold back for a couple minutes before I calmed down.

For this stone we hide in the east and west, do not dare to show their heads in Yinchuan, the result is that both sides of the value of the stone identified a huge difference, so big that we do not even need to talk about it.

Surnamed Zhao playing with the cigarette case, thoughtfully said: “brother, agate to give this price is already high to give, generally like so big Alashan agate top are not ten thousand, I’m not to provoke your resentment haphazardly price, I Zhao Qiang do business open and aboveboard, by no means black heart.”

“Don’t look! Don’t look!”

Bean Sprout Boy directly wrapped the stone in newspaper and said angrily, “Thirty-eight thousand dollars? And you say you’re not black-hearted? I see that the heart and blood vessels are black.”

“Budgie don’t panic yet.”

“What’s there to talk about! Throwing it in the river won’t even sell it!” Bean Sprout Boy looked really angry.

This piece of blood agate from the Alashan Desert no one has seen, so there is no market price specification, in Zhao Qiang cognizant of the good agate but eighteen thousand, he put out thirty-eight thousand, can be considered to be high to give.

If it was really worth that much, I can’t believe Aza would pay that much to hide it.

“Boss Zhao, that’s out of the question, I take back what I just said about selling the raw stone, what if we get a master craftsman?”

At this time the waitress obediently sent over a cup of water, Zhao Qiang sip of water: “I do have a good relationship with a Jieyang jade carving masters, this person happens to be doing things over the Agricultural Exhibition, the trouble is that this master schedule are full, you want to add plug?”

I nodded and said gasser what price.

Zhao Qiang shook his head and said, “I’m obliged to help you introduce you can, as a friend, in addition to the master is not to give money on the carving, they also have to look at the material, this is to talk about yourselves.”

The third ring agricultural exhibition hall there three times a year jewelry and jade exhibition, I have heard of, then also the first time to go in to shop, we went to the show is already the last two days.

Zhao Qiang had something to do with people who didn’t show up, he talked to that master on the phone and arranged for us to meet briefly.

Three hundred and sixty lines, line out of the top, this person surnamed Zou called Zou Xiaotong, slightly fat, more than fifty years old ancestry Sichuan, he lived in the Jieyang area, engaged in jade carving for more than thirty years, in the Universal Exposition and the Hundred Flowers Competition have taken the gold medal to the subject matter of the enlightenment and skillful carving is known, is indeed a very powerful artisan.

“Boss Zhao is talking about you three, right? I personally don’t carve agates,” said the man who just met at the Agricultural Exhibition Center and said directly that he doesn’t carve agates.

I said, “Master, you first look at the stone, the wages are good.

He smiled and said, “No need to look a few people, I personally have little interest in Alaska agate, you please go back.”

Although he did not say it explicitly but I also guessed that he is too low grade of our Alaska agate, not worthy of his carving.

I winked at Beanpole, who nodded and unzipped my backpack directly and took out the newspaper bag of raw stones.

“Check it out,” said Beanpole.

Zou Xiaotong twisted his head impatiently and glanced at it.

“Huh?”

“This red …..”

Agricultural Exhibition Hall in the hall of the booths are used in the white light, the newspaper is not all removed, our stone is only a small part of the exposure, the surface of the original stone almost demonic red color is too eye-catching.

Zou Xiaotong was attracted, he went over to remove the newspaper for five or six minutes, and gradually look fascinated.

“This, is this thing an Alashan agate? How come the bottom is so thin, isn’t all Alaska agate that kind of pitted?”

I said you look carefully ah, and did not peel, the skin is still there, not Alashan agate is what.

“Absolute, absolute, this is still absolute ……”

Due to the exhibition hall peers a lot, Zou Xiaotong this carving master said three absolute words in a row, immediately attracted a lot of people over to watch.

I heard some people whispering.
