1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Chen, you are so amazing. I haven't seen Grandpa so happy for a long time."

After finishing the meal, Zhou Fengxia said with emotion.

"I guess I just get along with the old man, and I am also very curious about the mysterious knowledge of Feng Shui metaphysics." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Is the bracelet of the old man a little bit unusual? Is the monk Shan De also quite famous? Anyway, this bracelet gives me a feeling of being unusual."

"Hmm..., what can I say." Zhou Fengxia scratched his scalp.

"The great monk Shan De is not well-known, but my grandfather is very close to him. The temple is not big, and does not accept any donations or incense money, nor does it perform rituals for the public."

"This bracelet is made of red sandalwood that my grandfather got in his early years, and then the beads were carved. It has been with my grandfather for ten years, right?"

"In terms of the value of the bracelet, it is actually nothing. Red sandalwood is not expensive nowadays. The main thing is that this bracelet has been with the great monk Shan De for a year, listening to the chanting day and night."

"Wow, this is amazing." Chen Tiezhu said in amazement, and by the way, he took a look at the bracelet in the hand of Doudou who was sleeping soundly next to him.

The translation means that this bracelet has been officially blessed, and it is not the kind of commercial blessing.

For ordinary people, this is nothing, just a bracelet. But in the eyes of Feng Shui people, the value of this bracelet is infinitely superimposed.

"So I was very puzzled today, why grandpa was willing to give it away. But after listening to grandpa's words, I understood." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, you have to help me when the time comes. Our small business of raw stones may be able to flourish. Is that what you mean?"

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes at him, "I just think that your personality is similar to my brother-in-law. Both are so jumpy, but he is more lawless than you."

"I am quite puzzled, you are also a Feng Shui expert. Playing gambling on stones should be a kind of side job, right? Why are you still thinking about it?"

"Brother Chen, then I will tell you my reason, don't make fun of me." Zhou Fengxia said.

"In fact, I don't really care how much money I can make from playing with stones, or how much wealth it brings me. As far as our family is concerned, I can live happily until I die, and we have enough money to spend."

"But I enjoy the fun of gambling with stones, and I care more about the process of making money. This explanation always feels a bit fake, but I really think so."

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, "I still believe you on this point, but playing with stones itself is risky."

"Let's make a simple analogy. Now you set a bottom line of 50,000 yuan for yourself, but as your family assets increase, your bottom line will increase by hundreds or thousands of times. ”

“I guess that’s what the old man is worried about. A good swimmer drowns in water, and stones are ever-changing. For example, the last piece of material I lost was because I was angry with Huang Wenxuan.”

“It’s just that my luck was better and I won the bet. If you look further ahead, with the rise of gambling on stones, a piece of material will be worth millions or tens of millions, right?”

Zhou Fengxia nodded seriously, “In fact, there are many stones with high value now, but they are currently controlled by Hong Kong businessmen. The public auction in Myanmar is also being hunted by them.”

“What do you mean? Are they so awesome? Isn’t it said that there is chaos over there?” Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise.

“It’s chaotic, but since Myanmar nationalized the mines, this business has not been doing well.” Zhou Fengxia said.

"And these Hong Kong businessmen are really rich and powerful. They seem to be playing their own games, but in fact, they are all in alliance."

"For example, if there is a piece of top-covered material or window-opening material with good performance, they will first scan it to see how many people are interested in it."

"After collecting information, they will get together for a meeting to study what price to give for this material. Of course, such a price must be very low."

"When bidding, although it seems very enthusiastic, the price they write is random and will not exceed the set price."

"This stone was auctioned at a very low price, and after returning to their own territory, they will hold a second auction in the circle."

"This must have a premium, and the extra part will be distributed to the rest of the people. This group of people has really made a lot of money over the years. It's almost the same as monopolizing all the good stones."

"My idea is,Play with them. If we put a stick in the middle, maybe we can find very good stones. But I don't have enough confidence, so I have to pull you along. "

"But if they do this, even you know it, but the official doesn't know it?" Chen Tiezhu was even more puzzled.

"Yes, of course. They didn't know it once or twice, so how could they not know it so many times?" Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"But what if you know it? They are playing within the rules you set, and you still need the money from selling stones to develop. So you can only swallow your anger and have no other choice. "

"This is why there are more and more goods in the state-owned jade shops in Tengchong in the past two years, and they also need to find another way out. But even if there are more goods, they haven't opened too good materials in these years. "

"After all, they still have to improve the reputation of the public auction. If they bring all the stones to our side, no one will follow their public auction. Brother Chen, what do you think of my idea?"

"Very good, very adventurous. "Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if we interfered and succeeded? Wouldn't we become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others?"

"What's there to be afraid of? How dare they come here to make trouble?" Zhou Fengxia said disdainfully.

"Anyway, I think that now that no one cares about this business, we will rush in and become veterans in the future."

"Just like you plan to grow mushrooms, if there are not so many people growing them, you can grow them well. In the future, your words will definitely carry weight in this industry."

"It's the same in all walks of life. Anyway, I have a lot of ideas about the raw stone business. To put it another way, even if we buy clear materials, we can still make a lot of profit when we come back. "

Listening to his words, Chen Tiezhu was deeply moved.

I have to admit that Zhou Fengxia is really brave and has the right idea.

Nowadays, if you want to do some business seriously, you can make a lot of money in the future.

It should be said that his heart was really moved.
