Chapter 1, the best gems

Saturday evening.

Fang Sheng sat in the office and made a phone call for more than two hours. Finally, he opened up all the links and channels for Xiao Mavericks to return to Beijing. Kyoto was difficult to do everything step by step, and even a small clerk dared to get stuck at the department-level leader. No wonder Yu Daoming couldn't handle it behind the scenes.

Guan Jin reported that a guest was visiting. Fang Sheng was wondering which one of them didn't say hello on Saturday, and then someone knocked on the door.

The visitor is actually Shen Chang and Zhan Yin, Qinchuan Province!

In an instant, Fang Sheng felt a bright heart: The lobbyist is here, Zhuo Qiang's incident is too big, and he must be the weight of Zhan Yin, and the level and relationship with Fang Sheng can only be taken.

The others are either unsuitable, uneasy, or useless at all.

Fang Sheng ordered Guan Jin to take "the treasured top white tea", but Zhan Yin waved his hand and said:

"Don't waste, don't waste, today I come to drink wine, not tea."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now, um... do you want to invite Secretary Zhihua?" Fang Sheng asked intentionally.

Zhan Yin smiled and said, "No need, he is a busy man. Today we are the two of us. By the way, we haven't had a drink together after leaving Baitie?"

In fact, Bai Tie and the other two didn’t drink much together. The clichés in the system are probably like this. If you are serious, you will lose.

The two of them sat leisurely on the sofa in the reception area, talked about Baitie, talked about the Qinchuan border conflict, talked about military preparations, etc., and had a harmonious atmosphere. Even in the past, they had never been so kind during Baitie honeymoon.

After chatting for more than an hour, it became dark. Guan Jin knocked on the door and came in to report that the cafeteria was ready.

"Let's go, let's have a meal and chat, please."

"Okay, I won't go home if I'm drunk tonight."

What to talk about is too heavy and too confidential. Zhan Yin would never mention it in the office, and Fang Sheng knew this very well.

When talking while drinking, even if Fang Sheng refuses or even goes out in the future, he just needs to insist that he is talking nonsense after drinking. Who has not lost his composure?

In terms of self-protection, Zhan Yin has a deep knowledge of his Taoism.

It was the private room where I drank with Yu Daoming last night, and it was still 20 years old, but the canteen master specially changed all the dishes.

After a pot of wine, Zhan Yin finally revealed his purpose.

"Brother, I came a little abruptly today. In fact, I was entrusted by someone in a hurry. I took a plane to take a plane before I even had time to take the teacup. I think I'm a little bit a bit?"

Fang Sheng was filled with wine for Zhan Yin, touched him and drank a little, and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhan is here to do business, so I don't need to visit you anymore, but to be honest, I really yearn for the mountains and rivers of Qinchuan and the majestic scenery."

"There will be a special invitation in the future. Brothers and provinces should also often go around to deepen exchanges and cooperation. It is best to put Zhihua over," Zhan Yin easily elevated the game to the work level, and said, "But brother and Zhihua... seem to have differences in handling some issues?"

"No, I think the cooperation is pleasant. Well, maybe the propulsion speed is slightly different occasionally, and it is normal. It is normal to have a bump in the same pot. Haven't we both quarreled?"

Zhan Yin laughed: "What's the metaphor like when the bedside quarrels at the end of the bed?"

"shudder."

The two clinked glasses and took a big sip, then Zhan Yin said, "I want to tell a story. Do you have the patience to listen?"

"I like listening to stories the most." Fang Sheng smiled.

Zhan Yin smiled and said, "Okay, then I will start talking. My eloquence is not as good as my brother. Please be more convinced if you don't speak well. Things will start from more than 20 years ago..."

The male protagonist of the story is Xiaonong, but the female protagonist is Xiaotang. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what the surname is, it’s mainly because of the convenience of narrative.

More than 20 years ago, the small farmers had not started yet, and the old farmers were in a critical stage of their career. At that time, a leader was very fond of the old farmers and was more or less caring about them in all aspects, but for some reason it seemed that they were not a little hot. The old farmers were embarrassed to tell the truth in front of the leaders, and the leaders were also incredible in the old farmers and always held airs.

If you want to talk about famous cigarettes and wines, you will receive tribute during the festivals and festivals. The old farmers will accompany you throughout the sauna and pay the bills. Why can't they achieve the strength?

It happened that just when the old farmer was puzzled, the small farmer actually saw the dawn of victory.

The old farmer was worried, and the small farmers were not at ease. Once a friend gathered, he accidentally exposed some wind in front of his friends. The next day, Xiao Tang came to see the small farmers alone and went straight to the point:

"I know the reason why your father has not been promoted for a long time, and there is also a way to solve it. There is only one condition. After the matter is completed, marry me as a wife!"

The farmer was so angry that he took a breath after hearing this.

Although Xiao Tang is a little pretty and is usually close to small farmers, she can only be considered one of her girlfriends at most. The small farmers have a good family, are handsome, and graduated from a prestigious university. Wherever they go, they are the focus of attracting girls' attention.

Xiaotang's only advantage is that she looks pretty good at young age. She is a businessman at home and does not help the farmer at all. She cannot meet the standard of being a good match. The farmer is just supporting her and secretly plans to trick her into bed and throw it away.

However, the small farmer could also weigh the weight in her words: the old farmer's trouble lies in the key leap of the carp jumping over the dragon gate. From then on, the vast sky will be greatly helpful to the cause of the farmers' main small farmer; if they cannot leap, the old farmer's career will end here. At most, the small farmer will live a petty life, just picking up girls, drinking, singing and singing.

There are also small farmers who are half-believing and half-doubting about Xiaotang's words: the old farmers are trying their best to solve their problems. How can you, a business family, find out the secret?

Then I said it was okay, after things were done! Then tell me the reason and give me some advice? The farmer said casually.

Xiao Tang said that the old farmer's leaders had an elegant interest in collecting antiques, because they often needed to identify the authenticity and fakes, and had more interactions with the Tang family. In the system, people, especially those who are leaders, usually have secrets and do not pass on them. First, they are worried that the impact is bad, and they say that the things they collect are given by others; second, there are many disadvantages when antiques are given as gifts, and the biggest contradiction is the authenticity. People enthusiastically deliver them to their doors. You can't say "Wait and let me identify them." If you collect the fakes, wouldn't you obviously suffer a loss? Even the genuine ones have value assessment issues. The gift recipient thinks it is worth 1 million, or maybe they were cheated of only 100,000 or 50,000 when they bought them. So should the leader recognize 50,000 or 1 million?

Xiao Tang said that the reason why the old farmer has never been able to do so is that he knows nothing about antiques and doesn't know what the leader says.

For example, the leader said, "Old Farmer, how do you look at this painting? At most, the old farmer said that the painting was good, but he couldn't continue to say anything else. If he knew what he was doing, he said according to his meaning that the leader liked calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty. It just happened that he had a garden painting from Shen Zhou at home. When would he bring him over to ask the leader to take a look.

For example, there was a jade carving suddenly on the leader’s desk, which was too lazy to look at the broken stone in the eyes of the old farmer. But if you understand it, you will understand that two pieces of precious Hetian jade will be presented in a few days...

When the farmer heard this, he was enlightened and asked quickly what to give to him based on your understanding of the leader’s collection?

Xiao Tang pondered for a moment and said that this is why I asked you to make a marriage appointment. Our Tang family has accumulated some antiques for generations, but if the leaders can attract attention, there is no need to say anything that actively supports the old farmer, there is probably only one treasure. During the Republic of China, when the Tang family was almost out of stock, someone paid ten thousand dollars but didn't sell it!

What? The farmer asked in surprise.

The best among gems - color-changing starlight sapphire!

Xiao Tang then explained that sapphire, ruby ​​and diamonds are both corundum, and starlight sapphire is the best among sapphires, that is, three groups of intersection angles with intersection points and sixty degrees or one hundred and twenty degrees appear six star rays on the top of the gem. Generally speaking, starlight is produced by rutile inside the sapphire, so ordinary star sapphires are translucent, while high-quality sapphires six star rays are completely transparent. The intersection point located in the center can move with the light and change different colors, so it is called the best among gems.

This sapphire pendant is not only precious and rare, but also has great origins. Emperor Qianlong's favorite concubine once wore it. Later, he continued to travel in the Qing harem until Emperor Shunzhi rewarded the powerful minister Ebilong. Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, his family went to study in the UK for 500,000 yuan to sell it to the Tianjin collector Jiang Shicheng for 500,000 yuan. Then, Jiang Shicheng bought Tang Bohu's famous paintings to the Tang family for financing, which can be said to be in an orderly manner.

As for where Xiang Fei got this treasure, it will be about Wu Sangui.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in order to capture the Ming prince Zhu Youlang who fled to the Annan region, Wu Sangui launched a large-scale expedition to Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, etc., forcing the Burmese king to hand over Zhu Youlang. After that, Myanmar began to "pay tribute on behalf of the commemorative orders". In the 53rd year of Qianlong's reign, the Yongjiya dynasty of Myanmar sent an envoy to Beijing, and the large number of jewelry treasures that paid tribute included this sapphire pendant from Mogo, Myanmar. Unfortunately, Xiangfei's life was poor and she died of illness after only wearing it for a few months. In order to compete for this treasure, the harem had another intrigue, which was already a later story.

With real historical materials, a orderly transfer of hands, and color-changing starlight sapphires are originally rare, how can leaders not be moved?

Xiao Tang finally said that as long as the old farmer gets his wish, the small farmer must hold a grand wedding and marry him into the farmer's house. The color-changing star sapphire is used as a dowry by the Tang family, and this is the only way to explain it.

The small farmer was stunned when he heard this and went home to discuss with the old farmer: Do it! If you can’t promote it, it’s the Tang family that loses money. If you promote it, you can earn a wife for nothing. If you really can’t make it, you can divorce in the future!

A few days later, the old farmer ran to the leader's office and presented the gem with both hands. Even the knowledgeable and experienced leader was shocked. He listened to the old farmer's story to introduce its past and present life, and was ecstatic and said:

Comrade Lao Gang is really a scheming person!

Within half a year, the old farmer was entrusted with an important task, and the most critical and important step in taking the career!

Last time, all forces in the major *** state competed for candidates for the entry, and the local department has become a rising trend, which is certainly one aspect, but there are too many local department leaders, why is it your turn to be a farmer?

At a critical moment, the leader was supported and got the valuable quota for entry. Similarly, the small farmers can stand out from the backbone of the group and have the support of the leader. Otherwise, why would they say that?

"Come on, give the wine with the story, cheers!" Zhan Yin raised his glass.
Chapter completed!
