Chapter 357

Chu Chen touched his head and said with a smile, "how can it be? I didn't have a chance to say that just now."

"I dare you!" Zhao Wan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Xiaochen, who is young, is already a billionaire, and he is so handsome. He is the prince charming in the eyes of thousands of girls! By the way, where's your girlfriend from? When will she bring her to me? I'll help you check it out? "

"My girlfriend is still studying in England. She won't graduate until next year. I will bring her to see you then." Chu Chen returned.

"Abroad!" Zhao Wan frowned and said, "don't you haven't seen each other for a long time? What's more, it's not a big deal for a man and a woman to be separated from each other for a long time. I advise you to be more careful! "

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "this should be no problem. Our relationship is very good."

Zhao Wan said: "Xiaochen, you have a wrong attitude. If you really like each other, you should pay attention to this aspect. What if your girlfriend is lonely and wants to be accompanied? Nowadays, there are a lot of men who are rhetoric. Some people just like to take advantage of the situation. I think it's not that you don't have any money. Let her go home now. "

"That's not good! After all, I've been studying for so many years, and I'm about to get my diploma. It's a pity to give up, isn't it? " Chu Chen scratched his head. When his cousin said that, he was really worried, but it would be unrealistic for Wu Ke to give up his studies.

Next to Zhang Yanbin asked: "Xiao Chu, which school is your girlfriend from? If you're not very famous, I can help you with something. "

Chu Chen replied, "she is now studying at Oxford University."

Everyone was surprised to hear Chu Chen's answer. Zhang Yanbin shook his head helplessly and said, "your girlfriend is still a talented girl, but I can't help this school."

Chuchen chuckled, not surprised.

At this time, Liu Sizhe proposed: "brother Chen, if you are worried, you can go directly. Anyway, it won't be long before you take a plane."

Chu Chen thought it was the same. He went back to Beijing to deal with the shop and asked Zhou Wenping to help him watch the decoration of the shop. After that, he had time to go to England.

Zhang Yanbin said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I tell you that after you go, you must seize the opportunity and take her down completely. If you don't know what to do, I'll give you some moves later."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Wan said, "Zhang Yanbin, don't think I don't know who you are. If you take my little Chen back, believe it or not, I'll beat you half paralyzed!"

Zhang Yanbin gave a dry smile and said, "don't worry, sister-in-law. I just want to teach Xiao Chu some life experience. How can I bring him bad?"

Zhao Wan snorted coldly: "anyway, I put my words here. How to do it depends on yourself."

Then we chatted for a while. When it came to Chu Chen's childhood, Zhao Wan went to his room and took out a photo album, which contained several pictures of Chu Chen's childhood.

"Xiao Chu, I didn't expect that you were really a tiger when you were a child." Yihongguo laughs.

Chuchen quite embarrassed smile, said the good, that is tiger head tiger brain, said the bad point, is a little fool, looks silly.

At the back of the album are some photos of the couple's friends. We just flipped through two pages and didn't look at them much. However, a girl in one of the photos attracted Chu Chen's attention.

Chu Chen's mind moved and asked: "cousin, who is the girl in this picture?"

Zhao Wan looked up and said, "this is my sister. I met her in Xiangjiang. Why don't you take a fancy to her? "

Hearing that he was from Xiangjiang, Chu Chen affirmed his conjecture. However, after hearing what Zhao Wan said, he could not help but said with a wry smile: "how can it be that I am not that kind of man who is always on the move."

Zhao Wan joked with a smile: "how can you ask her, she won't be your old face, OK?"

Chuchen said helplessly: "cousin, don't make fun of me. I don't know her. How can I be my old friend?"

"What are you asking her for?" Zhao Wan asked curiously.

Chu Chen explained the reason, and then said, "I think she is probably my aunt's daughter, so please ask my cousin for me."

Zhao Wan suddenly said, "this is it! OK, I'll ask for you, but this girl has gone to Australia to study, and I don't have her phone number, so it may take a long time. "

"It's no problem. Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry." Chu Chen said.

Zhao Wan said with a smile: "how old are you? You are so old-fashioned..."

Wan and his wife are very enthusiastic. In any case, they have to let Chu Chen live here for a few days. However, the 25th is the opening day of the public plate, and it's still five or six hours' drive to Pingzhou. It's definitely impossible to live here for a few days. However, Chu Chen still lived here for a day.

During this period, chuchen originally wanted to use the jade photographed by wanzaojun as a gift for their newlyweds, but the couple refused to say anything. In the end, chuchen had to give up this plan and prepare to make up for what he got in the future.The next day, after lunch, Chu Chen and his party set out for Pingzhou in the business car of wanchujun company. Six hours later, they set foot on the land of their destination.

Compared with Yangmei, Pingzhou is undoubtedly much larger, but it is only a town, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the South China Sea.

The most famous place in Pingzhou is Pingzhou Jade Street, which is one of the four major jade markets in Lingnan. These four jade markets are Yangcheng, Sihui and Pingzhou, and Yangmei, the place they just left.

Pingzhou is the best place in the four markets because of its convenient transportation and advantageous geographical location. Besides, there are boats to and from Xiangjiang every day. It has the advantages of both Yangcheng and Sihui in terms of land.

This is mainly engaged in jade bracelets, but different from Yangmei, which is mainly high-end, there are high, middle and low-end jadeite products, and it has the most advantage in price among the four markets. At the same time, it also does business in raw jadeite stones and leftover materials, which is regarded as the distribution center of raw jadeite stones.

Because of its good geographical location, there is an endless stream of businessmen from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and other parts of the province every day. In addition, there is no restriction on foreigners, so many foreigners and Hong Kong and Macao do business here.

Businessmen from Myanmar will transport raw stones here for investment. In fact, this kind of investment is a small-scale public plate. Almost every month, raw jade is invested once or twice, often four or five times. Of course, the member certificate of the local Jade Association is needed for goods inspection and bidding.

Therefore, if Chu Chen wants to enter the public market to see the goods and bid, he must apply for a membership card. Of course, if he relies on Yihong's membership card, Chu Chen can also go in to see the goods and bid, but he doesn't like it.

Of course, to help Chu Chen get a membership card, even for Yi Hong Guo, is a very simple thing. Wan Shoujun even waved his hand. When Chu Chen arrived at the hotel, someone immediately gave Chu Chen a membership card.

It's more than eight o'clock after the ceremony, so we had a hasty dinner and went back to their rooms to have a rest. However, Zhang Yanbin said hello to everyone, saying that he went out to look for his old friend. He didn't go back to the hotel until eight or nine o'clock the next day, leaving everyone speechless.

When you come to Pingzhou, you must go to the Jade Street. When Zhang Yanbin comes back, everyone talks and laughs and walks in the direction of Jade Street.

Pingzhou Jade Street rose in the mid-1970s, a local jade processing factory. At that time, this jade factory had the best processing technology and the best quality in the surrounding areas, so its business volume increased continuously, which not only made considerable profits, but also cultivated a large number of jade design, processing and production technical talents.

In the period of reform and opening up, many jade factory employees raised their own funds and set up family style workshops, so the local self-employed have sprung up. As the jade processing factory in Jiuli is good at making bare parts, it is not only of good quality and good workmanship, but also of low price. It soon became famous at home and abroad, especially in Southeast Asia.

In this way, the Pingzhou jade market was formed in the mid-1980s, and by the mid-1990s, the sales value had increased to over 100 million yuan.

The market in Pingzhou is very busy indeed. However, compared with the other three markets, Pingzhou is relatively scattered. So far, there is no decent and centralized Jade City, which restricts the better development of the jade market.

While shuttling through the jade shops on the side of the street, the group discussed the texture characteristics and production technology of these jadeite jewelry with each other.

In addition to the bodyguard beside Hu Yong and Wan Zaojun, even Liu Sizhe had his own unique views on jadeite. After wandering for a while, it can be said that everyone has his own income.

After visiting so many shops, Chu Chen also felt that the local processing of bare parts in Pingzhou was really good.

In fact, bare body parts are "plain" body jadeite with no carved pattern and graphic decoration on the surface, and "bare body jadeite" in the mouth of a businessman.

"The book of Rites" says: "if you don't carve a Dagui, it will be beautiful."

In fact, good jadeite is usually in the form of "plain" body to show its natural beauty.

Bare jadeite, because its surface is not decorated, so the raw material must not have cracks, there are no defects. The "carved jadeite" looks exquisite, but in fact "no grain, no flower". In fact, the complicated patterns are often used to cover up cracks and other defects.

Compared with carved jadeite, bare parts have higher requirements for the "variety" and "color" of the material itself. Therefore, the top jadeite is basically "bare".
