The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 82

Chu Qianli didn’t know the precious jewels, she wandered around in distress, and was suddenly attracted by the uncle who was talking about it not far away.

“Let me tell you, this jade bracelet is not ordinary. Many people think green is the most expensive, but it comes in green, orange, and white. The three colors gradually change beautifully. That is Fu Lu Shou jade, which is sometimes more expensive than pure green. !” The middle-aged man introduced energeticly.

The passing tourists nodded and responded: “So it is so.”

“This is also good. This is natural pigeon blood red. Ruby rings of this size have been photographed in the past tens of millions…”

“You know a lot.”

“Hahaha, if you can’t buy it, at least you have to understand it, you have it after seeing it!”

“Just joked and laughed.”

The pre-exhibition hall gathers all kinds of men and women. They are worth a lot of money to see the exhibits, but even fewer will actually pay a deposit to participate in the auction. Some people appreciate the treasures collected from all over the world with the mentality of watching the exhibition, and they don’t necessarily have to take possession of it.

The auction preview is also a social place, and everyone chats in the hall, and maybe they will form a good relationship. There are many knowledgeable people here who will exchange views with each other.

Chu Qianli quickly stared at the middle-aged uncle. She treated him as a museum commentator, followed him silently, and listened to the explanation silently.

The middle-aged uncle is energetic and knowledgeable, and can basically introduce all the jewelry in the hall. He is like a part of the car emperor. Even if he didn’t buy a car, he still knows cars better than those who own cars.

Some people will respond politely, and some people will be embarrassed when they are introduced, and they will leave quickly with excuses for fear of avoiding it.

It didn’t take long for the middle-aged uncle to notice Chu Qianli who was following him, and he took the initiative to greet him, “What do you want to hear? I think you are following some distance.”

Tan Muxing hurriedly said: “I’m sorry…”

They have been secretly following the middle-aged uncle, listening to him exchange exhibits with people around him.

Chu Qianli was not afraid to be discovered, she said openly: “I want to listen, I don’t understand at all.”

Some people are afraid of revealing their timidity and will not expose them, but they don’t dare to watch more and want to leave in a hurry. Chu Qianli didn’t care about embarrassment, and simply blew himself up as a rookie.

The middle-aged uncle laughed: “Yes, you can, then just walk around. I don’t understand the first time, but I will understand it after listening to it two times. I will tell you about it!”

“Thank you.”

The middle-aged uncle’s name is Li Like. He is a jewellery merchant who does business in G City all the year round. Looking at his face, Chu Qianli knew that the other party was talkative and familiar, and liked to talk to people about jewelry the most.

Sure enough, Li Like gained two audiences. His explanation became harder and harder. He couldn’t wait to understand everything. He arranged: “This is a pear-shaped blue diamond. You should be able to try it on. Let them take it out for you to see…”

Chu Qianli watched the staff carefully take the blue diamond ring while wearing white gloves, and curiously asked, “Can I wear it if I don’t buy it?”

Li Like resolutely said: “You can wear it, you can wear it, the preview is a tasting meeting, so that everyone can observe the jewelry up close, otherwise who dares to take it?”

“Of course there are some special lots that are not easy to touch, but they can basically be taken out. The staff can complain if they refuse.” Li Like smiled, “I watch too many jewelry fairs every year, so I can’t spend money on everything. Bar.”

Chu Qianli nodded: “So that’s it, the villagers have learned it.”

Tan Muxing: “Do you come often because of work?”

“Almost, you have to know so that you can talk to people.”

“Then what do you usually buy?” Chu Qianli found a knowledgeable person and asked humbly for advice, “Which one is more appropriate?”

Li Like: “Well, I generally don’t make antique jewelry. These are all set by auction houses. They are value-preserving and can be held for a long time. But it is not suitable for you to make quick money. If you are really interested, I will bring them later. You change the hall.”

Chu Qianli heard that the treasures in this hall hadn’t made money fast enough, and she didn’t even have the mood to watch the blue diamonds. She couldn’t wait to get to know Li Like.

Talking about Muxing Xing had no objection, and accompany her to wander around.

“Okay, then let’s go to the next door. Basically, we are peers over there.”

Li Like took them away and moved to the next exhibition hall. As soon as Chu Qianli entered, she found that the atmosphere in the room was very different. The hall exhibited all kinds of rough stones instead of finished jewellery.

The mental outlook of the people around is much tighter, and they even bring their own tools and study carefully around the strange stones. They are not wandering tourists, they are basically the same as Li Like, who specialize in gemstone business.

Many people seem to know Li Like and take the initiative to say hello to him.

“Old Li, don’t you come to have a look? This ruby ​​is powerful and can do a lot of things.”

Li Like was with Chu Qianli and the others. He quickly declined and said, “It won’t come, it won’t come. Funds are too tight recently.”

Chu Qianli looked at the oddly shaped, rough and dim rough stone in the showcase, and wondered: “Are these all gems?”

“Yes, we bought these stones back, cut and polished them, and then asked someone to carefully design them. Only then can they become the jewelry in the hall just now. The rough stones weren’t very beautiful at first.” Li Like said.

“Lao Li, don’t you really look at it? This one is really good!” The others shouted over there again.

Li Like was embarrassed.

Talking about Twilight Star: “Aren’t you going to have a look?”

Li Like embarrassed: “I usually sell one piece and buy one piece. I don’t dare to stock too much by myself. The batch I made last time hasn’t gone out. It’s a bit risky to buy rough stones, so I didn’t look at it today. I didn’t plan to. Enter this hall…”

He couldn’t buy it after reading it, so he was really scratching his heart.

Don’t look at the ugly rough stones, they are genuine gems. The larger the rough stones, the more expensive they are. There is still a “carat premium” in the industry, and the price of huge gems has doubled.

The company has too many rough stocks, if it does not operate in time, it is easy to break the capital chain.

Chu Qianli looked at Li Like. She moved her fingers slightly and said nonchalantly, “You can go and check it now. I see you have made a lot of money recently.”

“Huh? What’s the big money?”

Chu Qianli thought for a moment, and explained: “I just received a sum of money. It feels like a transaction, and it’s very fast.”

“It would be great if this is true.” Li Like smiled bitterly, “I haven’t had much money back recently, and I have nowhere to make a fortune!”

“I’ll accompany you around, but I really can’t buy it today.”

Li Like didn’t squeeze in front, so he simply turned around and explained the gems to the two of them. Because all the rough stones are placed in the hall, he also talked about the texture of some common gems and the knowledge of how to distinguish true from false.

The three of them walked around and heard a ringtone.

“I’m sorry, I’ll answer the call.” Li Like took out his cell phone, he gestured to the two of them sorry, and went to the corner to answer, “What’s the matter?”

“Have you sold it? When did you sell it? Hasn’t it been a long time?”

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing stood not far away and heard Li Like’s excited and joyous voice.

“Okay, well, this time you are really helpful…” Li Like couldn’t help being happy. He heard the request on the phone and quickly said, “It can be customized, and it can be customized. I will look at the stone now. What you like right away Can order!”

“Okay, okay, they can say whatever they want, including the color of the gemstone they like.”

After a while, Li Like returned beamingly and said with emotion: “Fortunately, I will accompany you two times, otherwise I’m really leaving early today, and the set of jewelry in the store suddenly sold out!”

“I still want to make a custom order. I have to pick a good one.” Li Like looked at Chu Qianli admiringly, and curiously said, “You are like a god? How do you see this?”

Chu Qianli just said that he had made a lot of money, and Li Like only treated her as a polite and lovable thing, but he didn’t expect it to be fulfilled.

Chu Qianli waved his hand humbly: “Professional players, regular play.”

Li Like was taken aback when he heard the words. He saw that Chu Qianli was insulted and humiliated. He glanced at the two again. He felt that they were extraordinary and had a faint hunch. He tentatively said: “I used to hear people say to look at each other…”

“It’s not just looking, or Ziwei.”

“Hey, it is actually the Emperor Xianxue…” Li Like looked at the two in surprise, “I didn’t expect to hit the master by mistake!”

Due to historical reasons, the popularity of Ziwei Doushu in City G is far higher than that in the Mainland, even more than four-character horoscopes. Businessmen are more or less familiar with it. Businessmen such as Li Like naturally understand a little bit.

Li Like didn’t know what to think about, he suddenly brightened his eyes, and said earnestly: “If you buy stones or something, can it be counted?”

Chu Qianli honestly said: “It may be considered appropriate to buy, but I don’t know gems.”

“That’s enough, this is enough, I know gems.” Li Like hurriedly said, “Sometimes I understand and lose money in this business, it just depends on the suitability!”

Li Like immediately took out his mobile phone and wanted to add contact information. Tan Muxing didn’t expect that Chu Qianli would actually develop a client here, so he began to perform his duties as an agent and establish contact with the other party.

“It’s just right. I’m going to pick a rough stone now. I can tell you how to pick it.” Li Like asked the staff in the hall for tools and said, “We squeeze forward so that we can see clearly.”

The high-quality rough stones are crowded with people. These people are not casual tourists. They basically have the ability to pay a deposit. They get the number plate to bid for the rough stones for business.

Li Like took the two of them to look all the way, he quickly delineated his favorite rough stone, and waited to see if he could successfully photograph it tomorrow.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing also held tools in their hands, and they learned how to imitate Li Like and experience a day as a gem merchant.

“Old Li, come and take a look at this. What can you see?” Someone suddenly waved and shouted, “Is this a ruby? You are not the one who knows red best!”

When Chu Qianli and the others heard the voice, they followed Li Like and came to the original stone wrapped in a layer of stone.

Li Like frowned slightly. He saw some clues at first glance at the rough stone in the cabinet: “This is not a ruby, right?”

The rough stone in the showcase is small, numbered 1134. It is the size of a baby’s fist, wrapped in a thick layer of stone, and only a few gaps show red light. If it is not placed in the brightly-lit pre-exhibition hall, it is like ordinary pebbles in the riverbed, and it will not be noticeable at all.

“We have been studying for a long time, and we just want to know what it is.”

“The ruby ​​crystal is plate-shaped or columnar. You see, the texture is obviously wrong…” Li Like took a closer look. “You ask them to take this stone out and take a look.”

The staff shook his head apologetically: “I’m sorry, this is an untouchable auction item.”

“You can bet on rocks and look closer, you are not fooling around!”

“Then tell me, what rough stone is this?”

The staff member tactfully said: “Judging from the current identification results, this is a rough unnamed rare mineral. The specific identification needs to destroy its surface, so unfortunately we don’t know more information.”

“This is not the same as saying nothing.” Li Like lost interest in it, and he turned to greet Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing, “Let’s go back over there.”

Li Like and others value precious gems. The rough stones they chase will even change according to market preferences. Naturally, they will not eat “rare minerals”.

When Chu Qianli heard this, she felt familiar. She still remembered that Evening Xing once said that Hongjing was not a ruby. When he helped appraise the Hongjing Tarot and the compass, the appraiser in the company also said that he didn’t know what the Hongjing was.

The others had already left the rough stone No. 1134, but Chu Qianli was lying on the counter, struggling to recognize it.

Tan Muxing found that she was watching carefully, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Stars, can you see the red color clearly?” Chu Qianli couldn’t touch the original stone. Naturally, she didn’t compare well, so he hesitated, “This is covered with stones, and I can’t see it inside.”

Other rough stones can be touched by hands and can be illuminated by strong light. However, the rough stone No. 1134 is locked in the counter, which limits the space for outsiders to play. It is no wonder that Li Like and others do not stay much.

Tan Muxing guessed what Chu Qianli was thinking. He also thought of the unknown Hongjing, and he recognized it with his heart, but he really didn’t see through his eyes.

Talking about Twilight Star putting down the tool, he thought a little, and said, “If you just want to know if it is or not, maybe you can make a point?”

Chu Qianli could not identify gems, but she could ask whether Hongjing and No. 1134 rough were the same thing.

Chu Qianli immediately dropped the magnifying glass and woke up and said: “Yes, I have caused them crookedness. I am a fortune-telling and not a gemstone researcher!”

Li Like and others held a flashlight and a magnifying glass to beat them, making Chu Qianli almost forget his professional identity.

She started a hexagram on the spot to verify whether the two were related, and the result of the hexagram was “yes”.

Chu Qianli hurriedly said, “The stars…”

Before Tan Muxing waited for her to finish, he nodded clearly: “I’ll get the number plate.”

At the entrance of the preview hall, Li Like finished meeting with the two of them. He saw the number plate in Tan Muxing’s hand and asked: “What are you looking for?”

Chu Qianli: “A stone.”

“Which one? I’ll show it to you. Don’t buy it randomly the first time you come here. The rough water is a bit deep.”

“Number 1134.”

“I have no impression?” Li Like touched his head blankly, “What kind of gems?”

Tan Muxing reminded: “It’s the rare mineral that is not allowed to be touched.”

Li Like stunned: “You want to buy that. I don’t think it is valuable. Not rare minerals can be sold at a price. Especially the identification results are unclear, and it is basically difficult to change hands.”

Tan Muxing confessed: “We didn’t plan to change hands, just take it back and have a look.”

Chu Qianli: “Well, if you have money, it’s just fun.”

Li Like couldn’t laugh or cry: “Okay, you guys really know how to play, you have to play rough stones when you come up. I dare not burn money like this when I do this.”

“Then we can still meet tomorrow, your rock should be very good to shoot, I don’t know if I can shoot them, there are too many people robbed…” Li Like said goodbye, “See you tomorrow!”

The two waved goodbye to Li Like, and they went to fetch Lyle Gadbury’s manuscripts and drawing tools.

In the car, Chu Qianli had just sat firmly, and brutally tore open the package, looking for the heritage left by the astrologer. She searched around, took out the old leather pencil case, squeezed it slightly, and felt the abnormality.

The pencil case was already in tatters, she opened it decisively and fumbled out a deck of broken cards, which was the remaining little Arcana!

“This thing is really amazing, the leather pencil case is rotten, and the tarot cards are not rotten.” Chu Qianli neatly counted the remaining cards and gathered together with the Arcana, there really is no one missing.

Tan Mu Xing saw that she lined up the tarot cards and said, “The card I got today is not the starry sky.”

The two saw the starry sky painting in the exhibition at first, and was later broken into a big Arcana by Chu Qianli. However, the small Arcana card face is not the night sky, it looks like a **** underground, and the small card also has an abstract beauty. Like sparks blooming in the dark.

Although the patterns of the two are different, the style of the painting is from the same person, and it can be seen that they have something in common.

“The color of this pattern is a bit like red crystal…” Chu Qianli looked at the little Arcana in his hand, and then took out a red crystal compass to compare it, “I don’t know what this stone is, even people who study gems don’t know. “

Tan Muxing comforted: “I used to be afraid of damaging the compass. Tomorrow I will take a picture of the rough stone and send it to appraisal. Then I will know.”

The two are interested in the rough stone No. 1134, and they want to explore the truth of the red crystal. There is no need to sacrifice the compass or the tarot card if there is a rough stone.

On the other side, in the tall building near the auction, after Shi Zhuoqu entered the house, he took the number plate on the table and asked, “How is the condition of the stone sample now?”

“No one should pay attention at the moment. We said hello and couldn’t touch the sample stone. We will take the photo according to the process tomorrow, and Roja doesn’t know.”

Rusya Auction House and Qiaojiade Auction House are rivals, and their operation is indeed not as convenient as before.

“That’s good, try not to disturb Rosya, the fewer people will be aware of this, the better.” Shi Zhuo channel, “The boss is coming to G city soon. It’s probably these days.”

“It should be too late. I will take it tomorrow and take it out quickly.”

“Okay, then I will go personally.” Shi Zhuoqu nodded, he looked down at the number plate in his palm, and then reached out to hold it tightly.

The next day, Chu Qianli and Tan Evening Star were going to the auction. Qi Shugang was about to open the car door for the two of them, but unexpectedly ran into Jin Xiaoyuan who had been waiting for a long time.

When Jin Xiaoyuan saw Tan Muxing, he instantly showed a look of blame, and complained: “Twilight, I heard people say that you had a long chat with Lao Li who was playing with stones yesterday. If you like gems and tell me in advance, why bother to stay closer?”

Jin Xiaoyuan has a lot of connections in the local area, and he knows it in the slightest, so he naturally heard about Twilight’s meeting with Li Like.

This can make Jin Xiaoyuan anxious, how can he be robbed in front of him! ?

Tan Muxing unexpectedly stayed here. He heard the complaint and hurriedly said: “Uncle Jin, we just met and talked about it suddenly, we haven’t seen it before…”

“I heard them say you are still changing the number plate?” Jin Xiaoyuan said, “What do you want to buy? You can just let me change it, there is no need to do it myself, I know them very well!”

Chu Qianli listened to Jin Xiaoyuan’s exaggerated tone, and she communicated with Uncle Qi in a low voice: “Is this the anxiety of the flattering world? Seeing us strolling around with others, we feel that we are behind.”

Uncle Qi: “So everything can be successful if it is top-notch.”

Faced with Jin Xiaoyuan’s sad questioning, Tan Muxing has the illusion of being put on the hat of a bearer, so he quickly moved out of his shield. He glanced at Chu Qianli sneakily, his face showed awkwardness again, and he dodged: “Uncle Jin, no need, I bought it for her…”

The subtext is that there is no need for Jin Xiaoyuan to change the number plate.

Jin Xiaoyuan was not dismissed by these words this time. He embraced and talked about Twilight Star enthusiastically, and said: “Well, I won’t stop you when you perform, but I will be with you today, and I also changed the number plate. We Let’s go shopping together!”

Talking about Muxing Xing’s embarrassment: “Ah this…”

Jin Xiaoyuan refused to give him a chance, and said decisively: “It is inconvenient for you two children. When you come to City G, I will not entertain you well, and I will have no face to meet your grandmother!”

Uncle Qi stood beside Chu Qianli, he listened from behind, and said, “No, the old lady didn’t remember his face.”

Tan Muxing persuaded Jin Xiaoyuan not to leave, so he could only agree to go with him.

Jin Xiaoyuan was overjoyed at once, and he opened his way all the way, wishing to give Tan Muxing and others VIP-level service.

A group of people arrived at the auction house by car. Jin Xiaoyuan entered the door as soon as he wanted to be in a private room. The posture was so close that the boss of the Rusya auction house was called out to pick up the guests. It was completely the old gang style, and it really was the style of the local snake!

Chu Qianli witnessed the mighty scene, she has understood the reason why Tan Muxing always rejected Jin Xiaoyuan, and sincerely commented: “We are like tyrannical villains.”

Tan Muxing couldn’t stop Jin Xiaoyuan at all, and powerlessly said, “…Be confident, get rid of it.”
