As the village chief, I only raise bugs

Chapter 271.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chongshan made a decision.

"Alright then, let's go shopping with Tour Guide Zhao tomorrow, and test her ideas by the way."

"No, I really don't need it!" Early the next morning, when Meng Pinghui asked Zhao Lei to take them shopping, Zhao Lei quickly refused, "Your wishes are accepted, but I have a salary these days, so there is no need Such."

As a tour guide, Zhao Lei definitely wants tourists to shop more, so she can get a commission, especially for those products with high prices and high profits, but after a few days, she also understands that this family is full of people with great abilities , Didn't you see that those who are unfamiliar with the place of life have to go out to discuss business within two days of coming here?

What does this mean?It shows that other people's energy is beyond what I can imagine!
Therefore, some money can be earned, and some money cannot be earned!

What's more, when I went shopping the day before yesterday, my aunt spent more than 1000 to buy a suit of clothes for herself!

"Sister Zhao, we're serious. It's unreasonable not to bring some specialties for friends at home after running all the way here." Meng Pinghui took Zhao Lei's arm, "What special things do you recommend in Shannan?" things."

Seeing that Zhao Lei was still hesitating, Jiang Chongshan said with a smile: "I heard that Shannan Stone is quite famous before, but are there many of them now?"

"Shannan Stone? Are you talking about Shi Zhongsong?" Zhao Lei looked at Jiang Chongshan unexpectedly, "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to know Shi Zhongsong? But because there are too many fakes, few people play it. The annual transaction volume is not large, that is, fooling foreign tourists."

"Gifts are just a meaning. Bringing or not wearing them represents two different attitudes. As for the price, it's all secondary!" Meng Pinghui has never heard of Shannan Stone or Stone Pine, but since Jiang Chongshan has heard of it, it means This thing has been popular for a while. As for the authenticity of what Zhao Lei said, with Jiang Chongshan around, it is not a problem to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Zhao Lei thought for a while, as if she had made up her mind: "Boss Jiang, Boss Meng, I can take you around the Shizhongsong Market, but you have to look at my eyes, there are mixed fish and dragons there, don't be fooled."

Since Wang Yongle drove to see off Cui Shuangying and the others, they needed to take a taxi there. Fortunately, the travel company that Zhao Lei worked for also had a car rental business. Jiang Chongshan simply asked Zhao Lei to contact the company and rented an Alison.

After more than half an hour, the travel company sent a car and a driver to the guest house, and then took the four of them to the Shizhongsong Trading Market in the northeast of Shannan.

"Husband, what is Shannan stone? How do you know?" Meng Pinghui asked very curiously after getting in the car.

Jin Hongjun also raised her ears, wanting to hear what Jiang Chongshan had to say. It was the first time she had heard of this Shannan Stone.

"You also know that I majored in agriculture. When I was in school, I went to the mountains to collect specimens. In my sophomore year, we went to the mountains to practice botany, and we went to the provincial yellow neem forest farm."

"We arrived at the place at noon, had free activities in the afternoon, and officially started the internship the next day."

"That afternoon, some of us boys went together to catch fish in the ravine east of the forest farm. There is a small mountain stream there. Because it is in the deep mountains, there are very few people, so there are many fish, shrimp and crabs in the mountain stream, and it is easy to catch."

"When we were catching fish, some students found some beautiful small stones in the mountain stream. Although they were rounded by the current, there were many plant-like patterns inside."

"At that time, we guessed whether it was a plant fossil. When this guess came out, everyone was excited, because we all knew that if we can find fossils, the school will give us a lot of rewards."

"Later, we stopped catching fish and went looking for what we thought were fossils."

"I searched all afternoon, and found a total of more than a dozen. Together, we went to the teacher who led the team and wanted him to identify it."

"The teacher took a look and determined that this is not a fossil, but a kind of strange stone, and said that this kind of stone is not very valuable, and one piece can be sold for seven or eight yuan at most."

"After hearing what the teacher said, we lost interest, and then Brother Yu bought all these dozen stones at a price of five yuan each."

"At night, Brother Yu took me to the teacher's dormitory to ask for advice."

"The teacher said that this kind of stone was all the rage a few years ago, and the source is Shannan, so it is called Shannan stone, also called stone pine. It is named after the texture inside the stone resembles pine branches."

"Those good-quality Shannan stones have very clear patterns on both sides, which look like small pine trees or small pine branches sealed inside."

"Generally, this kind of stone is not very big, similar to the size of an egg. It is better to have a smooth and round surface without impurities."

"As more and more people collect these things, gradually, the price of an ordinary Shannan stone can exceed a hundred, and it is not uncommon for a high-quality one to cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. He said that once a piece was five centimeters high, The Shannan stone with a thickness of more than three centimeters was sold at a price of 130 million, creating a transaction record for Shannan stone!"

"However, as the popularity of Shannan stone is getting higher and higher, criminals are eyeing this market. Some people hoard and maliciously inflate the price, making an ordinary Shannan stone cost thousands of dollars. A good collection game finally becomes a game. capital game."

"There are also some people who are even more hateful. They use stones soaked in chemicals to pretend to be Shannan stones for sale. Therefore, after reaching the peak, the price of Shannan stones began to fall, and finally caused the price of Shannan stones to fall. Crash!"

"After a few years, there was no market for this stone, and gradually no one played with it, and the price plummeted. Later, many Shannan stones became beautiful stones in fish tanks, and they have some uses."

"Of course, there is still a market for those top-quality Shannan stones, but the market is much smaller."

After listening to Jiang Chongshan say this, the car became quiet.

There have been too many hypes in recent years, and too many people have paid IQ taxes.

Among them, Zhao Lei felt the deepest.

She remembered that when she was young, before the flourishing of the stone pine, nutria breeding was popular in Shannan for a while. If someone had a few pairs of nutria at home, it would be more popular than having a few houses at home now. If there are young people of the right age in the family Men and women, the threshold will be broken!

But within two years, the nutria collapsed, and the ditches in the south of the mountain were full of this thing, and many families went bankrupt!

Then there is Shannan Stone, that is, Stone Pine!

When Shizhongsong was at its craziest, many people stopped working and went up the mountain to find rocks along the ravines. Some people got rich overnight, but many lost their lives because of it.

There are also many people who have accumulated a lot because they are optimistic about the future market of this thing, but in the end they lost all their money!

To tell the truth, the hotels and restaurants near the Shizhongsong Trading Market were making a lot of money at that time, so one can imagine how popular this thing is!
