Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

Chapter 58

Although Ming Qian didn't understand jadeite at all, after Mr. Yang's patient explanation, he finally understood how valuable his stone was, the glass kind was valuable, and the greenish glass kind was even more valuable.

"Is it imperial green?" Ming Qian knew that imperial green was worth a lot.

Mr. Yang shook his head: "In fact, this word is not used in the industry. It is all about color. The green color of your stone is already amazing. Although it is not Zhengyang green, it also has five colors. You want to make it into a finished product for sale. Or sell the stones directly?"

Mr. Yang: "If the finished product is finished, the company can do it for you, and the design drawing will be shown to you in advance."

Ming Qian thought for a while: "Brother Yang, I don't understand this market either, so let's just sell stones."

Although he doesn't know about jadeite, Mingqian has worked in other industries, it is impossible for a layman not to suffer, it only depends on whether the loss is big or small.

This stone was given by Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang is an insider. With the principle of not bothering two masters, Ming Qian asked, "Brother Yang, do you want to take this stone?"

In the jade business, practitioners need a big heart. It is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade. It is normal for one knife to be poor and one to be rich. Although the stone is given by himself, Mr. Yang will not be envious or jealous. He knows very well that this Even if the stone is not given to Mingqian, he will only sell it at a low price according to the performance of the leather, and will not cut it himself at all.

He gave the stone, and Mingqian cut it open, it was Mingqian's luck.

Mr. Yang also believes that everyone has their own destiny. When they sell finished products, they are not talking about selling, but about forming a relationship.

When a predestined person buys it, it is the fate between the finished product and the buyer, and has nothing to do with them, the sellers.

Mr. Yang: "I won't tell you the truth. Your stone can be worth tens of millions in the market, but if you sell it to me, I will definitely not be able to give you this price. Although the performance of the stone is very good now, the leather is not. In other words, no one is sure whether it will mutate if it continues to be cut, and there are also cracks in the cotton heel, which can't be seen now."

"I'll give as much as I want, 460 million."

Mr. Yang said again: "If you think the price is not suitable, you can put the stone here first, and I will act as an intermediary here. After the stone is sold, we will raise an intermediary fee of [-]%."

"Or you can take another gamble." Mr. Yang said, "We have a professional stone interpreter here, who will break the stone into pieces. If each piece is of good quality and can produce a bracelet, I can accept it at the market price."

Ming Qian was a little hesitant, 460 million is quite a lot, if the stone is changed again, or there is a serious problem, then 460 million may not be available.

Mr. Yang didn’t try to persuade him either. The person concerned had to make up his own mind about such matters. If you persuaded the other party, the other party would understand and the value of the stone would plummet. Then the friend would not be able to do it, but would become an enemy instead. There is no need for this.

In their line of business, money can be lost, but contacts cannot be thrown away easily.

"Cut it." Ming Qian said suddenly.

Mr. Yang didn't ask any questions, and asked the stone interpreter to come over and study.

The front desk brought water to Mingqian, and Mingqian sat on the sofa and watched several people gather around the stone to study how to cut it.

"Turn on the light to see that the crack didn't go in, so don't cut along the crack on the skin."

"Or cut it directly on the machine thread, and cut it according to the thickness of the bracelet."

……

After discussing for several hours, the calculus finally decided to cut a piece on the machine line first, and then check if there is any crack underneath. If there is a crack, take it off and cut along the crack, and continue if there is no crack.

Ming Qian couldn't get in the way the whole time, he watched a room full of people rushing for the stone.

When the first slice was cut, everyone in the company was cheering.

"On the first piece, there are two bangles on the front ring! Both of them can be green! Damn it!"

"The last time I saw jadeite of this quality was on the public market the year before last, Biaowang."

"It's a pity that it's not as big as that standard king, otherwise it would be hundreds of millions."

It takes a long time to cut the thread. It was already dark when the first piece was cut. Ming Qian looked at the time. It should be eight o'clock in the evening. It was dark, it was completely dark after seven o'clock, and all the lights on the roadside had been turned on.

Ming Qian answered several calls while waiting, and he really couldn't stay here any longer.

"You go first, I will tell you the result after cutting tonight." Mr. Yang did not leave Mingqian behind, "You can come over tomorrow to see, according to the quality of cutting out now, if cutting later can also have this effect, I will I will offer you this price."

Mr. Yang took out his mobile phone and pressed a number on the calculator.

Ming Qian was startled: "... at this price, do you still have money?"

Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "At that time, I will take out the bracelet and sell the remaining pieces directly. Don't worry, if I don't make money, I won't quote you this price."

Yang is always a businessman, so he will definitely not suffer, Ming Qian feels relieved when he thinks about it.

This amount of money was a windfall for him, and he was satisfied with a few thousand dollars, so of course he is even more excited to get this price now.

With the money, the upstairs can be renovated without any fuss, and all the loans can be paid off next year.

I can still buy a car, but I have to buy a new parking space. The previous parking space at home is also sold after the car is sold.

After two months, he will learn how to drive, and once he gets his driver's license, it will be convenient for him to go anywhere in the future.

Please hire more employees, and you will have the opportunity to travel by car with Youjun in the future.

Ming Qian thought about the good days in the future, with a smirk unconsciously on his face.

"Are you being happy and silly?" The employee looked at Ming Qian's back as he left.

The person next to him patted his head: "It's you, aren't you silly?"

The employee rolled his eyes: "I'm more than happy to be silly. If I had this luck, I would quit my job now, pat my ass and go back to my hometown to buy a car and a house, open a small shop, and use the rest of the money to buy financial management, wouldn't I? Happy?"

Mr. Yang sneered and said, "So he is the boss, and you are still working for me."

Employee: "I remember that he is the owner of Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant? The hot pot restaurant is very famous these days, so there should be no shortage of money, right?"

Mr. Yang: "I don't even look at other people's pricing. Maybe his profit for half a year is not as good as I cut a good stone. Those who do small businesses can't make a fortune, they can only have a stable food and clothing."

The employee smacked his lips: "That's true, but he really got rich this time, how much did you pay the boss?"

Mr. Yang didn't say anything, but the staff guessed: "Eight?"

Mr. Yang: "Are you dreaming?"

Employee: "Isn't that the one at the back that hasn't been cut yet?"

Mr. Yang: "If you don't cut it out, it can be worth eight? The quality of the first piece will still be the same. I will give you a thousand. If you change the variety later, you will not have four. At most, you will be given two. There must be no cracks."

When the staff thought about it, the price was indeed appropriate, and it would not be right if it was too much or too little.

The most regrettable thing about this material is that only the waterways have green. If there are many places with green, it can be sold for tens of millions, maybe even higher.

Planting water is important, but with good planting water, one color can be worth a thousand gold.

The piece that has been unraveled now can hold two bracelets, and most of the two bracelets are green. Even if it has not been shipped, just spray some water and you can see that the material has become sticky and fluorescent. The effect of shipping will only be better Well, maybe the species of water and color can be doubled up, and the selling price will be sky-high.

Buyers are basically collectors in the circle. No one will really wear this kind of bracelet, and it will hurt you to death if you bump it casually.

There is no shortage of money for those who play jadeite. A few thousand yuan of jadeite can only be regarded as an introduction, and the most you can buy is waxy seeds.

There is glutinous ice within [-] yuan, good quality can only be bought for more than [-] yuan, and the best jadeite can go up to a million.

Hundreds of millions of emeralds are not without it.

Ming Qian still searched various live videos and articles on his mobile phone to find out about planting water—but it was just a concept, let him watch it by himself, and he could probably only see whether it was transparent or not, and whether there were many impurities.

When Ming Qian returned to the store, it happened to be the peak time for customers. As soon as he entered the door, he was overwhelmed by the oncoming heat wave and the aroma of hot pot. Chen Yan was carrying two dishes, with a smile on his round face as always .

The three of them, He Qin and Zheng Xu, were not so relaxed. Even though they had been working in the store for so long, they still couldn't accept the work intensity of not being able to sit down and drink water for several hours in a row.

"Go and have a rest, I'll replace you." Ming Qian stood in front of the counter, took off his coat and handed it to You Jun, rolled up his sleeves and said to He Qin who had just delivered the side dishes.

He Qin wiped the sweat from her forehead. No one else said to take a break. She had to hold on anyway. After all, she was going to be on the show, and she didn't want the audience to think that she was too delicate to bear a little bit of hardship.

"Boss, I'm tired too." Zheng Xu looked at Ming Qian pitifully from the side.

Ming Qian smiled and said: "I can't change myself again, let's do it tomorrow, I will replace you tomorrow night."

Zheng Xu was elated: "Then it's a deal!"

Ming Qian: "It's settled."

Zheng Xu gave He Qin a wink. He knew what He Qin was worried about. Now that he opened his mouth, He Qin would not appear to be coquettish alone. For the same thing, there are two differences between doing it alone and doing it by a group of people the result of.

"Then I'll go get a glass of water and come over right away." He Qin really couldn't hold on anymore. The class started at 04:30 in the afternoon and reached its peak at [-] o'clock. The guests came one after another, and they just cleaned up after sending away a table. Just another table comes in.

She had never been so tired when she was filming—maybe it was because she had always played supporting roles and didn't have so many roles, not to mention the slightly famous actors, ordinary directors would not really treat people like scalpers.

He Qin felt that if she played a role like a waiter in the future, she would be able to interpret it just right.

He was busy all day long and had little personal life of his own.

She walked to the back kitchen and sat directly on the small bench, holding a thermos cup in her hand. The cup was lemonade. Because there was no sugar added, her sour facial features wrinkled after drinking it.

It was too busy in front, and one of the pier workers had to go out to entertain guests. He Qin originally thought that being a waiter would not be too tiring. Didn't Lin Sui's slender arms and legs not cry tired?

It was only after she really went out that she realized how powerful Lin Sui was.

Before Lin Sui posted her own fitness Weibo, He Qin thought that Lin Sui was just like herself, just casually going to the gym to take a couple of photos to pretend, but now she found out that she was the only one lying.

"I've lost weight all this time." He Qin took another sip of lemonade and said to Brother Jiang who was making candied apples.

Brother Jiang: "I also lost weight, but I ate more than before."

With such a large amount of exercise, it is impossible to sustain without eating.

"How did you come here when we weren't in the store?" He Qin couldn't figure it out.

They couldn't ask this question when they were not familiar with it before, but now they are all familiar with it, not to mention they can compare with Haruka and the others, but they are definitely no worse than ordinary employees.

In this way, they could barely get over here. If the store was bigger, they would definitely be exhausted.

Yao ate the roasted sweet potatoes, wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingers, and said solemnly: "In the past, one person used to be three. At first, I was the only pricker. Later, when the store expanded, I found two more."

"When she's not busy, Yiyi cuts vegetables in the back kitchen, and when she's busy, Yiyi works as a waiter in the store."

Yiyi rinsed the knife and smiled at He Qin.

He Qin and Yiyi have a very good relationship now, and the two of them didn't know where they found the topic. They would chat on WeChat every day after returning from get off work. He Qin also asked Yiyi to register on Weibo, and the two of them even kept in touch with each other.

It may be because He Qin rarely pays attention to people. Her fans quickly discovered Yiyi and thought that Yiyi was a rookie in the entertainment industry. As a result, Yiyi's account, which has not posted a single Weibo, has nearly [-] followers.

However, apart from guests, Mingqian has the most fans in the store. Mingqian now has 24 fans. He occasionally accepts advertisements for kitchenware that he has used and finds it convenient. He can earn thousands of dollars for just one advertisement.

This Qian Mingqian earns a little bit of confidence, so every time he accepts an advertisement, he has to buy it himself, and after using it, he feels that it is really good before posting it on Weibo.

Also because of this, his fans are willing to eat his advertisements, and he has never bought fans, and the fans who follow him are basically live fans. As a result, after the sales of a certain product increase, the same type of stores will find him .

Sometimes Ming Qian even felt that even if he didn't open a hot pot restaurant, he would not necessarily earn less than he does now every month just by accepting advertisements.

But his current popularity comes from the hot pot restaurant. If he doesn't open a hot pot restaurant, no one will know that he is Zhang San Li Si Wang Mazi.

"The boss is also busy. In addition to cooking the bottom material and making side dishes, he has to take out the side dishes by himself." When Yao said this, his tone was quite relaxed, because their body is different from that of humans, and people are busy for several hours. As long as they are too tired, they can work all day.

But tired will still be tired, but the rest time they need is shorter than that of the human race.

"So hard?" He Qin looked at Yiyi and felt that if she had worked like this, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Why don't she go back tonight and persuade Yiyi to change her job, she can let Yiyi work in her brokerage company, the work will definitely be easier than in the store, and the salary will be higher.

She thinks that Yiyi is good everywhere, has a good temper, is pretty, has a good figure, and has a gentle personality, not pretending to be gentle, but genuinely gentle.

If it wasn't for being unable to speak, Yiyi would be perfect and couldn't pick out any shortcomings.

With such a person working beside you, you will feel better.

Yiyi took out her mobile phone and typed: "I don't think it's hard work. The boss will take us out to soak in hot springs. After buying a car, he will take us to travel. In the future, if we hire more people, we can take turns."

Probably because He Qin's gaze was too obvious, Yiyi guessed what He Qin was thinking, and typed politely: "I like this place very much, unless the boss drives me away, I will stay here forever."

He Qin stopped talking.

Since Yiyi thinks this place is very good, she has no position to persuade Yiyi to leave.

But if Yiyi wants to leave in the future, she can also help Yiyi.

·

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the hot pot restaurant closed, and the guests didn't have to accompany Ming Qian and the others to clean up together, but they got along with each other during this time, and none of them left.

The staff of the program group are also helping to clean up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you during this time." Director Han called Ming Qian outside the door.

Ming Qian: "No trouble, but after you came, the staff in the store, including me, are much more relaxed. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to leave the store today."

Director Han: "We'll finish filming in three days."

Ming Qian was a little surprised. He glanced at the date, only to realize that the time had passed too quickly, and it was indeed the day when the program team ended work.

The filming of the show is about to finish, Ming Qian is still a little bit reluctant. He always feels that the guests are not like celebrities, but more like ordinary people. If you have a topic, you can keep talking.

"I will definitely come over for dinner often in the future." Director Han smiled, but he didn't feel any sadness about parting, "If the show can become popular, your business will definitely be better, but even if it doesn't, you should hire more people gone."

Ming Qian: "That's for sure, I have to start recruiting people during this time."

Speaking of recruiting people, I guess I still have to ask You Jun for help.

Although there are many people in Yiyi, they are all snakes, and they cannot communicate with diners in time, which is very unfavorable for the service industry.

Both Chen Yan and Sui Ru lived alone, and their clans would not stay together.

But cunning is fine, Ming Qian is going to ask Yao to invite someone over.

"Let me recruit people?" Yao heard Ming Qian raised his mouth on the way home, and jumped three feet high excitedly.

He has long wanted to bring his clansmen out, not to mention whether he can get some benefits from You Jun, at least he doesn’t have to stay in the deep mountains and old forests all the time, he can play with mobile phones and watch TV, and there are many entertainment activities in big cities. Played the claw machine, and had a lot of fun twisting on the dance machine-it's a pity that I can only go once a week because of my busy work.

Ming Qian warned: "Look for someone with a more mature personality. If you don't work hard after you come here, I will remember it on your head."

Yao nodded fiercely, and then figured out in his heart who would be suitable to come - those who are too lazy to do so would be bad luck for himself.

It doesn't work if you are too utilitarian, if you try to please You Jun as soon as you come here, you don't know how you will die.

Thinking about it this way, the range of choices is much smaller.

When they got home, Ming Qian made some supper, one bowl of plain noodles for each of them, Ming Qian went to wash up after eating.

He played songs on his mobile phone, hummed to himself, and washed his head and body. Recently, because of the program group, he has to pay attention to his own image after getting up every day. He is a rare delicate boy in the world.

After taking a shower and drying his hair, Ming Qian crawled into the quilt. With Youjun around, there is no need to turn on the heating or air conditioning in the room—there is no heating in his house.

Every winter, Mingqian wants to go to the north. Although it is much colder outside in the north, there is heating indoors. He heard from netizens living in the north that they can eat popsicles indoors in winter wearing short sleeves.

Ming Qian has never been to the north in winter, so he has a deep yearning for it.

As soon as he got into bed, Ming Qian squeezed to You Jun's side.

Youjun didn't hide, but let Mingqian cling to him.

"What are you looking at?" Ming Qian asked.

Youjun was on the phone all the time, Mingqian put away the phone when he asked, and said calmly: "It's nothing, go to bed early, you are tired too."

After finishing speaking, You Jun stretched out his hand and slowly pinched the back of Ming Qian's neck and shoulders.

Ming Qian was interrupted by this action and didn't ask any more questions. He let out a long snort and closed his eyes comfortably.

If he had just glanced at it, he would have found that You Jun was browsing the forum.

If you look more carefully, you will find that Youjun just posted a post——

"How do I confess to my destined partner?"

After "squeezing" Mingqian to sleep, Youjun began to read the reply, and the more he read, the more he frowned.

These mortals simply don't know what to say!

"What the hell is a destined partner?"

"Lz seems to be suffering from some serious illness."

"Is lz over ten years old? I don't think anyone over ten years old can say that."

"Are you despising elementary school students by saying that you are ten years old? Elementary school students may have higher emotional intelligence than you."

"That's really weird... It's like the kind of stalker who feels that the other party has no other choice but himself."

"I think it's weird too! It's a bit hairy."

"Lz I think you may need to see a psychiatrist."

"Normal people don't use the word destined partner, do they? This word is very strange."

The building quickly became distorted. Netizens were discussing the mental state of the poster, and they were deeply worried about his "destined partner", thinking that this "destined partner" might fall into a very dangerous situation if he didn't escape.

After turning two pages, You Jun not only didn't see any suggestions, but also received a bunch of replies that suspected that he was "not a normal person".

You Jun didn't think there was any problem with his wording, he just felt that this group of mortals had little knowledge, so he shouldn't ask mortals.

You Jun turned his head to look at Ming Qian who was already sound asleep, Ming Qian was sticking to his side, hugging his arm, only at this time Ming Qian would be so "sticky".

Usually Mingqian is always very busy, he seems to have endless energy and endless things to do, even if he encounters difficulties, he will not be discouraged, as if there is no hurdle in this world that he cannot overcome.

Youjun looked at it carefully, and felt that Mingqian was not perfect in any way, at least in his eyes, Mingqian did not have any shortcomings.

He stretched out his hand and brushed away his hair that fell on Mingqian.

In the dim light, Youjun lowered his head, he could smell the scent of shower gel and shampoo on Mingqian's body, as well as Mingqian's own scent, his eyes became dark, as if a vortex formed in his eyes.

He slowly approached Ming Qian, and when their lips were only a piece of paper away, You Jun suddenly sat up.

He didn't move, just sat there like a stone statue.

His heart was beating violently, as if he had returned to the time when he saw Mingqian for the first time.

Soon, Youjun pursed his lips tightly.

It won't be long.

Soon he will have the man completely.

You Jun's fingertips touched Ming Qian's cheek, a smile finally appeared on his face.
