Chapter 125 Former Friends

"I won't go. If I do, I will still be a burden to you."

Hu Yang thought in his mind whether he should just take a walk or go to CUHK to meet Hu Yue.

Tang Ziyu smiled and did not force Hu Yang. She waved to her assistant and asked her to pay the bill, and then walked out of the restaurant with everyone.

"Mr. Hu, Ziyu and I will leave first. You can move freely or go back to the villa to rest. We will contact you in the afternoon."

Lu Yali and Tang Ziyu left with their people. Hu Yang didn't think about where to go for the time being, so he walked forward casually with Xia Bing and Han Wen.

"Boss, do you want the videotape?"

"Boss, would you like to exchange for foreign exchange coupons?"

Along the way, small traders and hawkers kept coming to harass them. Populus euphratica ignored them and just kept shaking his head.

"Boss, would you like to buy jade? Authentic Hotan mutton-fat jade."

When the voice came, Hu Yang shook his head subconsciously. But when he saw the appearance of the hawker clearly, he suddenly froze for half a minute.

He knew the person in front of him, or he knew him in a previous life.

This man is of medium height, has an ordinary appearance, and appears to be in his mid-twenties. His name is Luo Ping, who is also from Xijiang. He was one of the few good friends of Populus euphratica in Yangcheng.

When Hu Yang met Luo Ping, Luo Ping was already a very successful jade merchant. He had two shops in Yangcheng, specializing in jade, jade, etc.

A considerable part of the knowledge he now has about jade was learned from Luo Ping.

"Luo Ping!"

This impressive name almost made Hu Yang blurt it out. But in fact, theoretically speaking, he didn't know Luo Ping yet.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ping worked as a roadside vendor before he became prosperous.

"boss?"

Luo Ping felt that the handsome boy in front of him had a strange look in his eyes. If it weren't for his demeanor and unusual clothes, he would have thought that he had some bad intentions.

"Don't block the way, get out of the way!"

Han Wen misunderstood what Hu Yang meant and thought the boss was angry, so he stepped forward and pushed Luo Ping away.

"Awen, don't be rude. If you have something to say, say it nicely. Come here, let me see what good jade you have."

Hu Yang quickly stopped Han Wen and glared at him. Han Wen didn't know what he had done wrong, but he still took a step back.

"Are you from Xijiang?"

The hawkers hawking on the street have poisonous eyes. When Han Wen pushed him away, his first reaction was not to go forward and argue with them, but to prepare to avoid them. Obviously, he couldn't afford to offend these people.

But then he immediately realized that both of them had Xijiang accents and met fellow villagers.

"Yes, we just came from Xijiang City. Are you from Xijiang too? I can tell it when you talk. How about we find a quiet place and I can take a look at your jade?"

Hu Yang smiled slightly and tried to make his tone sound calmer.

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a small alley over there with not many people. Is it okay to go there?"

Xia Bing was silent at first, but when she heard that the hawker was taking Populus euphratica to a secluded place, she quickly said: "Mr. Hu, look, there is a teahouse in front, let's go there and sit."

Hu Yang nodded. Of course he understood what Xia Bing meant. She was hinting that she should not take risks. But it was good, so as not to scare Luo Ping away.

"How about going to the teahouse in front and showing me your goods?"

Luo Ping turned around and took a look. There was actually a teahouse ten meters away. Since it was a business place, he had nothing to be afraid of, so he agreed.

Hu Yang and others quickly walked into the teahouse, asked for a private room upstairs, and casually ordered a pot of Tieguanyin.

Luo Ping then took out two pieces of jade from his bag and placed them on the tea table.

"Well, these two pieces are both seed material, but they are a bit small. How to sell them?"

Hu Yang was not too enthusiastic. He carefully looked at the jade on the table.

"The boss is an expert! What I sell here are all high-quality Hotan mutton-fat jade, and I never sell fakes. These two pieces of jade weigh two hundred grams together, and I don't want more. You can give me one

About a thousand yuan."

Luo Ping knew that he had met an expert, so he did not dare to raise a random price.

Currently in Xijiang, seed material like the one Luo Ping has can be sold for about 600 yuan. But when sold to Yangcheng, there will definitely be a premium, and Populus euphratica is still aware of this.

Besides, Hu Yang's purpose was not to buy jade, he was thinking about how to get to know Luo Ping again without appearing too obtrusive.

"It's not too expensive. I forgot to ask, what's your last name?"

"Ah? Boss, please be polite. I'll spare you the expense. My surname is Luo. Just call me Luo Ping."

Luo Ping couldn't keep up with Hu Yang's rhythm, so he announced his family status smoothly.

"Come on, Luo Ping, let's sit down and have a cup of tea and chat slowly. My surname is Hu. I have always been interested in jade, and I have some at home, so I can still tell whether the jade is real or fake.

Your goods are pretty good, how many goods like this do you have?"

Hu Yang winked, and Xia Bing quickly poured Luo Ping a cup of tea.

Luo Ping sat there very cautiously. Hearing Hu Yang's words, he smiled bitterly: "Boss Hu, please stop teasing me. You are an expert and you are from Xijiang, how can you buy a large amount of goods from me? The same thing,

The price is much cheaper in Xijiang.”

"Haha, you're good Luo Ping! I won't hide it from you. The reason why I want to buy the goods you have is to buy information. I intend to open a jade shop in Yangcheng, but I don't know the situation here.

, I wonder if you can explain it to me in detail? Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly.”

Hu Yang's explanation made Luo Ping feel at ease.

Xia Bing also showed a relieved expression. It turned out that Mr. Hu was taking a long-term view to catch the big fish. However, was the company planning to invest in the jade business? She had no idea at all.

"The boss originally wanted to do the jade business. You can go to Hualin. There is a street selling jade. But without the strength, there is no way to do business there, even if we provide them with raw materials.

No, they have their own supply and sales chain.

There are also jade shops located in various business districts, but in terms of price, the jade street is cheaper. Itinerant vendors like us have a mixed bag of good and bad, and most people are not willing to buy from me. So, like me, I am just a casual person.

Just eat."

Luo Ping knew everything. Anyway, he could find out this information slowly, so he might as well sell a favor.

"That's it. Luo Ping, I'll buy the two pieces of jade you have right now. Can you take us to the jade street to have a look?"

Hu Yang couldn't bear to see his former best friend end up on the street, but he couldn't act strangely, so he could only use some tricks.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Hu."

Luo Ping hasn't opened yet today. He must sell the two pieces of jade he has first. As for a trip to the jade street, it won't take much time. He would be a fool not to agree.
