Chapter 175 Stones from Myanmar?Chen Cheng’s request!
Chen Cheng's family does not live in Wangjing City, but they live in a courtyard house. This is an authentic Beijing building!
It was not easy to drive in the alley, so I had to park the car at the door and walk around in the alley. After walking for a long time, I arrived at the door of Chen Cheng's house.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, Lin Ran asked: "Jianlong, have you made an agreement with Brother Chen in advance when you come this time?"
"No." Yang Jianlong replied honestly.
Lin Ran stopped him from knocking on the door and said, "I didn't make an appointment in advance, so I'm going to disturb others. No, let's go back first."
"Hi, godfather, Uncle Chen said that as long as you are free, you can come to him at any time." After saying that, regardless of Lin Ran's stop, he started knocking on the door.
"Uncle Chen, Jianlong has brought his godfather to see you!" Yang Jianlong shouted while knocking on the door.
Lin Ran felt a little touched in his heart.
In fact, he and Chen Cheng only met once, and they only discussed business-related issues. He didn't expect Chen Cheng to value him so much.
A businessman like Chen Cheng must have everything on his plate, so he actually treated him as a guest.
Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart when he valued himself so highly.
The door was opened.
A butler wearing a hat appeared at the door. He said with a smile: "Master Yang, Master Lin, you are here."
He didn't know why the head of the family asked him to call the young man master, but the older man was called young master.
But he didn't dare to disobey the master's order, so he had to obey it.
"Hello, let's come see Mr. Chen."
Lin Ran returned the gift generously and entered the courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper.
From the outside, I thought it was just an ordinary courtyard, after all, it was mixed with other courtyards.
But when I get closer, I realize that this is not a courtyard. This is simply a manor!
No single-family villa is so elegant. There is a finely carved rockery, and there are several koi carps in the spring water below.
The yard is full of bamboos, and there is a big cage in the yard with an ostrich in it!
Lin Ran's eyes were attracted by the ostrich, which screamed strangely when it saw him.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, sir. It just begs for food when it sees people."
Yang Jianlong was startled by the cry just now. He patted his chest and said, "I know that the gentlemen in the capital like to raise birds, but isn't this bird too big?"
"Haha, this is a gift from my foreign friends. It is said that it was sent from Tanzania." The butler explained with a smile.
No wonder Lin Ran felt that the ostrich in front of him was different from the one he saw in the zoo before. It was actually imported?
You know, this was the early 80s!
It can only be said that the happiness of rich people is completely unexpected by poor people!
In front of a three-story villa, Chen Cheng walked out of the door.
He said with a smile on his face: "Nephew Yang, Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. I just took a call from a business partner, so I asked the housekeeper to pick you up first."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ran knew that he managed a national chain store and must be busy with work.
The butler bowed slightly and said, "Master, I have brought you two."
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go down first." Chen Cheng walked down the steps to greet him, shook hands with Lin Ran, and invited him into his house.
The housekeeper and the staff who were cleaning the courtyard also stared blankly.
The master usually receives business clients and only meets them in the hall.
This was the first time I saw the master go out to receive guests in person, and he looked very young.
Originally, they thought that today's distinguished guest was Yang Jianlong, which could be understood as a business customer.
However, Chen Cheng didn't shake hands with Yang Jianlong at all. He just patted Yang Jianlong on the shoulder, as if an elder was receiving a junior.
On the contrary, facing Lin Ran, I felt humble!
When arriving at Chen Cheng's home, the feeling of a Chinese-style living room comes to mind. The mahogany sofa, mahogany coffee table, and even the pendulum hanging on the wall are all made of mahogany.
After sitting down, Chen Cheng's nanny immediately brought three cups of hot tea.
The tea smelled very fragrant, and it was obviously made from high-end tea leaves. Lin Ran took a sip and said, "Is this Pu'er from Touchun? The astringency is really well controlled!"
"Exactly! Brother Lin is indeed well-informed." Chen Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Yunnan is a long way from the capital. It is not easy to drink Pu'er tea in the capital. However, in the Internet age, everything has been solved long ago.
After some pleasantries, Chen Cheng also entered the topic.
"Brother Lin, actually I came to you this time to ask for something." Chen Cheng said sincerely.
"Brother Chen, please speak." Since Lin Ran was willing to come, he naturally planned to help Chen Cheng solve the problem, but he had to consider whether his own strength was sufficient.
Taking a sip of tea, Chen Cheng began to speak slowly, "Brother Lin should know that I am in the national jade business, and it is inevitable to transport stones from Myanmar."
Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong both nodded and waited for him to continue.
"A few days ago, I went to import rough stones from Myanmar, and the local people told me that there was a batch of more precious stones and asked me if I would buy them."
"More precious stones?" Lin Ran noticed the important point.
"Yes, I have never seen this kind of jade in China." Chen Cheng did not bring back a sample, so he could only describe it in words.
"The jade is a bit similar to our Hetian jade, it is light green, but its permeability is very high, and it can be directly shined through with a flashlight."
Chen Cheng thought of the experiments he had done before looking at the samples.
Simply relying on Chen Cheng's description, Lin Ran couldn't tell whether it was true or false, but he had a guess in his mind.
So he asked: "Brother Chen, I wonder if you can give me a sample?"
Chen Cheng said: "I asked Brother Lin to come here today because I hope you can help me take a look."
He went to the phone in the living room, pressed it a few times, and dialed the number.
Then he told the person on the other end of the phone: "Send me the No. [-] jade sample from the Burmese businessman to my home. I want to see something within half an hour!"
The tone was full of command, and there was no room for evasion. It really had the aura of a domineering president, Lin Ran thought to himself.
Although he was very polite to them, Chen Cheng was very strict when managing his subordinates, and any small mistakes were not allowed.
Yang Jianlong quietly said to Lin Ran: "Godfather, even though Uncle Chen seems to be fierce, he is actually very kind to his employees."
Yang Jianlong was worried that Chen Cheng's tone just now would give Lin Ran the illusion that he was an arrogant and domineering person. Lin Ran didn't like this kind of person, so he came forward to explain.
"Uncle Chen is just very demanding. One time, one of his clerks broke a jade bracelet. He originally wanted to use his salary to pay off the debt, but Uncle Chen just taught her a lesson and deducted his bonus for the month."
After making the call, Chen Cheng returned to his seat and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, please wait a moment. When the stones come, you will have to worry more!"
