Chapter 230 Save Her
"There will be a large-scale auction in Hong Kong Island soon. If I have someone appraise this jade and it is good, I will have someone send it over to see if it can be included in the auction." Zhang Rong felt that they picked up these two stones at the right time. This was a good opportunity!
Jiang Xia heard this and asked, "Can we open it and auction it?"
Zhang Rong: "Yes, but once it is opened, you can see the value at a glance. The price is not inestimable. The difference may be huge."
The auction of rough stones is actually a gamble. The reason why some people are willing to spend a lot of money on it is because it is the most likely to make a lot of money! After the rough stones are opened, there are pros and cons.
If the jade inside is good, that would be great.
If it's not good, then...
Then you know it without saying anything.
Jiang Xia: "It doesn't matter, I still want to drive out."
Zhang Rong looked at Zhou Chenglei.
Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei.
Zhou Chenglei: "I always listen to my wife. She has the final say."
Zhang Rong: “…”
I didn’t expect that the team leader is actually afraid of his wife.
Zeng Yuan couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chenglei, feeling a little sad.
"Okay! Then I'll find someone to open it when I get back. Do you want to find a few more experts to take a look before making a decision?" I couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Xia: "No, open it!"
Zhou Chenglei said nothing, looking like he was obeying orders.
Zeng Yuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and simply walked out.
"Okay." Zhang Rong responded.
He thought of raising funds for the construction of the city's tallest commercial building, and planned to start construction next year. It would be the city's first tall building, with 50 floors, and would be a multifunctional building integrating commerce, trade, office, and catering.
He had already planned to buy a share and had not originally thought of calling Zhou Chenglei. After all, buying a share would cost a lot of money and he probably didn't have that much money.
But if he guessed correctly about these two stones, after selling them, he would have enough money to participate in the business.
He felt that it was worth the investment and that such a good thing could not be left out without the brothers, so he told Zhang Rong about it without any outsiders around.
"What's your interest in participating? When the time comes, after we sell these two rough stones, if the money is enough, I will help you invest?"
Zhang Rong knew that Zhou Chenglei had bought a big ship and would go out to sea for ten days or half a month and not come back, so he told him about this in advance to avoid being unable to contact him later.
Although Jiang Xia was at home, this was a huge sum of money, so it would be better to say it in front of the couple.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a swamp now, with low and gloomy houses. But you should know that there is a lot of construction going on there, and it definitely has a bright future."
Jiang Xia squeezed Zhou Chenglei's wrist with a bit of force.
Zhou Chenglei said, "Okay, if the money is enough, tell me how much it is short of."
"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."
It was too late, so Zhang Rong decided to leave after finishing his business.
When Zeng Yuan left, she said to Zhou Chenglei, "I have transferred to the military hospital here. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me."
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "Okay, when my wife gives birth, please help me reserve a quiet bed."
Jiang Xia: “…”
This person really dares to say anything!
"Puff..." Zhang Rui couldn't help it and quickly covered his mouth.
Zeng Yuan just turned around and left!
She really wanted to help him, so he was just trying to irritate her! Zhang Rui smiled happily and said, "Fourth brother is going to be a father soon? Then I want to be his godfather!"
Zhang Rong also smiled and said, "Is your sister-in-law pregnant?"
Jiang Xia was a little embarrassed: "No, I was just kidding."
The Zhang Rong brothers didn't say much. They just smiled and said, "See you tomorrow," and left.
***The next day, instead of going out to sea, Zhou Chenglei took Jiang Xia for a run. After the run, they went to the reef on the beach to pull up the crab cage that they had put down yesterday.
By this time, it was already daybreak.
Wen Wan also came early in the morning to pull the crab cage.
The three of them just happened to meet each other, without saying hello, and just went about their own business.
Zhou Chenglei pulled out the first crab cage, which contained two crabs, one big and one small. One was a butter crab that looked full of cream, while the other was a little smaller, and there was also a sand tip fish.
He took out the fish and crab, kept the big crab, and threw the smaller one without roe back into the sea.
Few people like to eat crabs these days, and no one wants those that are not big enough and have little roe. So Jiang Xia watched Zhou Chenglei throw a crab that was bigger than her palm back into the sea without hesitation.
In modern Jiangxia, I have also seen videos showing some fishing boats setting out crab cages to catch crabs when going out to sea, because crabs are more expensive than many fish.
Hundreds and thousands of crab cages were put down and collected by machines. The boatman pulled them down one at a time, at an extremely fast speed. This kind of machine probably doesn't exist nowadays.
Seeing that the bait in the crab cage had not been eaten up, Zhou Chenglei continued to throw it into the sea.
It can’t be wasted. He bought half a pig liver from the pork offal he bought yesterday as bait.
There were three crabs, a small sea bass and two shrimps in the second crab cage. The eggs in one of the crabs' belly were exposed. Zhou Chenglei caught it and threw it back into the sea. The sea bass was too small, so he also threw it back into the sea.
Then he continued to pull a crab cage. At the other end, Wen Wan was also pulling a crab cage.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
She had already pulled up two crab cages, but she did not take out the fish, shrimps and crabs inside immediately. Instead, she continued to pull up the next one.
Jiang Xia saw that the crabs in her crab cage were similar to those in his own cage, with most of them containing only one or two crabs.
Wen Wan had placed a few more crab cages than theirs. Zhou Chenglei had already pulled out all the crabs, but she was still pulling out the crabs.
I don’t know if it was because I ran out of strength or the crab cage was stuck.
When she reached the sixth crab pot, she pulled it up as hard as she could, but it wouldn't move.
She pulled hard, but her body became unstable and she fell into the water with a splash! A crab pot at her feet was also brought into the water with her.
Just at this moment a wave rushed up, hit the rocks, and then retreated!
Take her directly away from the reef and into the deep sea.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Damn it, she just causes trouble for others!
Nothing good will happen if you stay with her! Wen Wan can swim, but she fell into the sea, choked by the water, and was swept away by the waves. She panicked and struggled hard: "Help! Help... Ugh..."
Jiang Xia: "Throw a crab cage down for her to grab, and pull her back!"
Zhou Chenglei had just that in mind, so he picked up a crab cage and waited for the next wave to rush towards Wen Wan. He aimed and threw it out! The crab cage was thrown directly in front of Wen Wan.
Jiang Xia shouted, "Hold on tight if you don't want to die!"
Wen Wan subconsciously grabbed the crab cage.
Zhou Chenglei pulled her closer.
Wen Wan was pulled to the reef by Zhou Chenglei and quickly climbed onto the reef.
Jiang Xia reached out to her: "Hold on to me, I'll pull you up."
Zhou Chenglei held Jiang Xia's arm, fearing that she would fall.
Wen Wan looked at Jiang Xia with mixed feelings.
She didn't expect Jiang Xia to offer to save her.
She reached out and held Jiang Xia's hand.
Jiang Xia pulled Wen Wan up with a dark face, then let her go. Without saying a word to Wen Wan, he said directly to Zhou Chenglei, "Pack up and go!"
Zhou Chenglei nodded, picked up the crab cage and the bucket of fish, shrimp and crabs on the ground, then took Jiang Xia's hand and left.
They set out five crab pots in total and caught eight crabs, three sardines, one anchovy, and a few shrimps.
Wen Wan coughed and recovered herself, then looked up at their receding figures.
At this time, Jiang Xia pointed to the roadside and said, "It should be Brother Zhang who came to transport the jade giant clam!"
Wen Wan looked towards the roadside when she heard that and saw a jeep followed by a small truck.
So, Jiang Xia really did sell the jade giant clam, right?
Wenwan was in mixed mood.
