    In the afternoon, although the sun was shining brightly above their heads, people's enthusiasm had not diminished, and the crowd in the stadium was still bustling and extremely turbulent.

    Zhang Weidong, Liu Ding, Gao Jie, Fatty Wang, Little Nurse, and Liu Ying took a lunch break in the hotel and caught up with the start of the afternoon show on time.

    "We're going to gamble on stones, who's going to come with us? You're a tall beauty, it's very exciting, you really don't want to go?" Fatty Wang said bewilderedly.

    He, the little nurse, and Liu Ying did not change their itinerary and continued to see gambling stones. They were not interested in any ancient jade or finished jade.

    Zhang Weidong is interested in ancient jade, but Fatty Wang is not going to persuade him. I really don¡¯t know what is good in the ancient jade area, it is expensive!  After much persuasion at noon, Zhang Weidong was not moved at all.

    "Me?" Gao Jie looked at Zhang Weidong and Liu Ding and hesitated for a moment, but then thought again, she didn't know how to gamble on stones, and it would be in vain if she went there.  "I'll go with Wei Dong. I don't know how to gamble on stones anyway!"

    "Okay, let's go!" Fatty Wang rolled his eyes, said hello, and squeezed into the crowd with beauties, big and small.

    "Haha, let's go too -" Zhang Weidong smiled and said to the two women.

    Naturally, Liu Ding and Gao Jie held hands and followed Zhang Weidong together.

    After the morning trip, Zhang Weidong was no longer interested in the ancient jade in the booth, so he walked towards the tradable area without stopping.  The jade there belongs to private collections and can be traded.

    "Weidong, aren't you going to the booth?" Gao Jie asked in surprise.

    "I won't go. If you can't find anything to eat there, it's better not to go. This is a private booth where you can trade. Jade is a very magical thing when you meet a destined person. Maybe I can pick it up!" Zhang Weidong said jokingly.

    "Gee, it sounds like it's true! There's someone destined for you!"

    Gao Jie didn¡¯t believe it.

    Isn¡¯t jade just a special stone that has life?

    She naturally doesn¡¯t know what Zhang Weidong is thinking.

    In response to this, Zhang Weidong smiled and said: "What about you, what do you want to buy? I can give you some advice. At least with me here, if you want to buy ancient jade, you will definitely not be able to buy new jade!"

    "Why haven't I heard that you know this? When did you learn it?" Gao Jie said in surprise.  "Do you really understand? Don't pretend to be fat, it will be embarrassing!"

    "Believe it or not, I haven't strayed yet!"

    The next sentence didn¡¯t say anything. I¡¯ve never bought jade, so there¡¯s no problem with it.  However, this does not bother Zhang Weidong, and he can still tell the truth from the false.

    Seeing that Zhang Weidong was serious and not joking, Gao Jie rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if you buy a fake one, I won't beat you up!"

    Little girl Liu Ding didn¡¯t talk much, but she kept smiling.  The little girl is not so thoughtful, and she will not be jealous when Zhang Weidong and Gao Jie are so casual.

    Zhang Weidong wanted to buy a piece of jade for Liu Ding, but he really didn't like ordinary jade, and good jade was hard to find and expensive.

    "Xiao Zhang?"

    Someone is calling him.

    Zhang Weidong's hearing was beyond comprehension. When he turned around, he saw that it was Mr. Xu who was walking around this area with two old men and two middle-aged people.

    As one of the organizers, one of the directors of the Provincial Jade and Jewelry Association, and also a well-known person, he had to be present on the first day of the exhibition.  What's more, Mr. Xu himself is a collector, so he can't miss it.

    "Mr. Xu, are you watching this movie too? Did you gain anything?" Zhang Weidong greeted politely.

    At the same time, he also nodded to Mr. Xu¡¯s companions.

    Mr. Xu didn¡¯t answer for now, but introduced to the people next to him: ¡°This is the Xiao Zhang I¡¯m talking about, Zhang Weidong. He has an amazing intuition about ancient jades, and he also owns an antique shop!¡±

    "This is Lao Tong, Lao Yu, a great expert in jade!"

    "This is Tao Junlai, the deputy director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau!"

    "This is the boss of Jubao Pavilion. He specializes in jade, woolen materials, and **. He is one of the best jade merchants in the provincial capital!"

    "Nice young man!" The two old men looked at Zhang Weidong and praised him.

    ¡°Obviously, they still believe in Mr. Xu¡¯s vision.

    "Two old men, Director Tao and Boss Huang, I am just a newcomer. I am honored to meet you. Mr. Xu is looking after and supporting the newcomers!" Zhang Weidong said modestly and shook hands with Director Tao and Boss Huang.

    As for the two old men, there is no need to shake hands.

    He was showing off his age, and shaking hands with a young man like him seemed a bit awkward.

    Director Tao and Boss Huang, on the other hand, have little separation from him.  The former was a little reserved, but still praised Zhang Weidong a few times.He had the attitude of being an official, and it was more out of Mr. Xu's face that he spoke.  The latter is much more natural and enthusiastic.

    "Brother Zhang, let's talk more later. Not many young people can listen to Mr. Xu's praise!" ** said with a smile on his face, his hands were very strong, and he shook them hard a few times.

    "must!"

    The two groups of people temporarily merged together.

    "Xiao Zhang, have you gained anything?" Mr. Xu then got down to business.

    "Not yet. I stayed in the exhibition hall all morning and came here in the afternoon. Where are you?" Zhang Weidong shook his head and joked.  "There are good things in the exhibition hall, but it's a pity that they are not for sale¡ª¡ª"

    Everyone laughed.

    Some of the items there are from private collections, and there are also many from the Cultural Relics Bureau. They are not for sale. Who dares to sell them?

    If you want to gain something, you can only come here.  What is displayed here can be bought and sold as long as you like it, the price is right, and you can pay and deliver it.

    **Hehehehehe said: "It's not impossible¡ª¡ª"

    "Oh?" Zhang Weidong was surprised.

    ¡°Part of it belongs to the Cultural Relics Bureau, I have to ask Director Tao¡ª¡ª¡±

    Director Tao laughed dumbly and said, "Ask me, I didn't break it either!"

    "The only idea is to keep it in a private collection. The remaining exhibits are the treasures of some collectors. But if you really want to buy them, it will probably be difficult!"

    Zhang Weidong nodded and said: "Forget it, most of them probably won't sell it. Even if someone does, I probably won't be able to pay the price!"

    This is of course half a joke.  It is impossible for Zhang Weidong to actually buy the one in the showroom.

    "Weidong, come here!"

    At this time, Gao Jie, who was walking with Liu Ding, waved to Zhang Weidong, seemingly interested in something.

    Zhang Weidong hesitated for a moment, then Mr. Xu said: "Go!"

    "Brother Zhang, please call me later and come to my store when you have time!" ** this time took out his business card and exchanged phone numbers with Zhang Weidong.

    "Okay, Brother Huang, come to Rong Town when you have time!"

    The two sides separated and Zhang Weidong walked over.

    Gao Jie fell in love with a Buddha pendant made of honey-wax material. The Buddha statue was carved more delicately, giving it a lifelike feel. The carving work was pretty good.

    "However, the other party offered this Buddha pendant for 5,800 yuan.

    "Isn't this too expensive?" Gao Jie frowned.

    "Little girl, this is topaz of the highest quality, and the carving is by the hands of a master. It's only five thousand eighty. The price is very reasonable. If you replace it with new jade, the price will be even higher. It's not impossible to get it for ten thousand!" said the boss!  said.  "There is no room for reduction, my price is not exaggerated at all!"

    Zhang Weidong somewhat agrees with what the boss said.  Ancient jade is highly artistic, with seven parts art and three parts material, while new jade is just the opposite.  But the reality is that new jade is much more popular than ancient jade, and the price is much higher. This is a very irrational consumption behavior.

    This Buddha pendant is indeed ancient jade!

    However, the price is a bit too high. Zhang Weidong shook his head slightly towards Gao Jie, pondered for a moment, and then whispered: "The price is a bit high, at most three thousand!"

    Gao Jie glanced at Zhang Weidong in surprise, didn't she see that he really knew something?  In fact, Zhang Weidong did put in a lot of effort before coming, and only then did he dare to speak when Huang Yu was involved.

    Since the other party is asking for a price, she will cut it off. She can always cut off some of it. Anyway, she likes this Buddha pendant.

    Women still have an advantage over men when it comes to bargaining.

    Gao Jie had a verbal spat and acted like I'll leave if you don't sell. The other party agreed with a grimace and kept saying: "It's the first business after opening the door, bear with me, little girl, you are too cruel.  You cut me three thousand, so I didn¡¯t make any profit!¡±

    The latter happily put away the Buddha statue and paid the money.

    After buying it, Gao Jie was worried again: "Weidong, do you think this Buddha statue is fake?"

    Zhang Weidong was speechless, and then said after a while: "It's an ancient jade, it can't be wrong! I still have some experience in distinguishing ancient jade from new jade. There were more than a dozen pieces in the stall just now. In fact, there were fakes, and there were new jade, but  The quality isn¡¯t that great, but yours is still pretty good!¡±

    Gao Jie happily put it away.

    She bought this gift for her grandma.

    A moment later, Zhang Weidong also bought a Buddha pendant worth about 10,000 yuan and gave it to Liu Ding.

    He didn¡¯t plan to buy it originally. To him, these jade stones had no meaning.  But when little girl Liu Ding looked at the pendant bought by Gao Jie, she felt a little fond of it and couldn't help but buy it.

    Women, women, they are so young, but they are so charming that Zhang Weidong can't help but feel pity for her.

    "Thank you, Brother Wei Dong!" Sister-in-lawMy mother¡¯s face turned pink with excitement.

    Gao Jie looked at Zhang Weidong strangely, curled her lips, and muttered: "Why didn't I see before that he actually likes old cows to eat young grass?"

    The voice was very low, as if only he could hear it, but Zhang Weidong was an exception. He couldn't help but blush, but pretended not to hear it.

    "Ahem, keep looking -" Zhang Weidong walked forward pretending to be nonchalant.

    There were two women, one older and one younger, behind them. Gao Jie looked at Liu Ding's Buddha statue with envy, and the two chattered non-stop.

    Why is there no man to buy it for her?

    The one at home, hey!

    Thinking about that person at home, Gao Jie felt very disappointed and didn¡¯t want to mention it again.

    There are a lot of ancient jades that can be traded, but some of them are real and some are fake, and most of the ancient jades are of average value. The price of real fine products and treasures is not low.

    Zhang Weidong seemed to be strolling around, taking the two women back and forth. However, he still found nothing, and he became more and more disappointed.

    Could it be that my guess is wrong?

    By about five o'clock in the afternoon, the exhibition area was about to be cleared, and the first day of the exhibition was over. Zhang Weidong basically looked at all the stalls in this trading area, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, there¡¯s nothing I want!¡± Zhang Weidong lost interest and took the two girls away.

    "Weidong, you didn't take a fancy to so many jade? What kind do you want?" Gao Jie was puzzled.

    ¡°A very special kind of jade¡ª¡ª¡± Zhang Weidong pondered for a moment and said.

    "special?"

    This concept is broad enough.
