Chapter 14 Stone Gambling(1/2)

Looking at the time, it was almost half past eleven. Wu Di was going to invite Wen Yaru to dinner. After all, he drank a bottle of wine on the train. Wen Yaru shook his head and said:

"It's not as comfortable as eating at home when eating out. We hired a part-time worker to prepare lunch every day and deliver it to the store. You can try it too."

"Okay, I'm tired of eating outside every day. It's time to try some home-cooked food, but don't let me get addicted to it, otherwise I'll come here every day to eat."

"Now I find that you are a bit like a businessman, you are thick-skinned. It's no problem to come over to eat, and the requirements are not high. Just order like this every month."

"You are thicker-skinned!"

While they were talking and laughing, a burst of firecrackers sounded. Wu Di was still wondering who dared to act so arrogantly in this restricted area, but he saw Wen Yaru suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the tea on the table, and walked out quickly.

, while saying:

"Xiao Wu, hurry up, come with me."

"Brother Wen, what's going on?"

"There's a good stone cut out next door. Come quickly and see if you can grab it."

Wen Yaru ran downstairs without looking back. Wu Di followed him with a confused look on his face. What is a good stone? What is a good stone?

Going downstairs to the hall, Wen Yaru quickened his pace, and Xiao Gangzi shouted at the door:

"Boss, hurry up, I see Boss Zhang has already ran in."

When Wen Yaru heard this, he sped up even more. He didn't look like a person running for five at all. Wu Di grabbed Xiao Gangzi and asked,

"what happened?"

"Once good stones are found, only those of ice type and above will set off firecrackers."

After a short delay, Wen Yaru's people had disappeared. Xiao Gangzi pointed his hand to the right.

"Go quickly to Stone City. If you're late, you won't be able to get in."

Wu Di ran to the right in confusion, and finally caught up with Wen Yaru at the entrance of Stone City. Only one door of the store in Stone City was closed. Several shop assistants were explaining to a group of people in front of the door. Wen Yaru

Squeezing forward, a little girl smiled bitterly and said:

"Uncle Wen, I am Gao Bing, not a glass type. You don't have to worry."

"Little girl, I'm not old yet! I want to see Gao Bing too."

Wu Di quickly shouted loudly:

"Brother, there's me too!"

The little girl let the two people in and turned around to face the even more agitated crowd. The security personnel of the market finally arrived in time. Together they explained to a large group of people who understood the truth, joined in the fun, and made noises. Finally, the crowd slowly dispersed.

The store in Stone City is slightly smaller than Mingtangzhai, and the style of displaying goods is also different from Mingtangzhai. Wen Yaru did not stop, walked through the lobby and walked in. Wu Di heard a voice from far away, which seemed to be bidding.

In just ten seconds after passing the lobby, the price of that thing had already jumped from 2.8 million to 3.1 million.

After passing through the lobby, there is a small courtyard at the back. The area is not much different from that of the lobby. A group of people gathered in the northeast corner of the small courtyard. The layers are airtight. The sound of bidding came from the crowd. Wu Di already knew

I'm bidding for jade. After all, I grew up in the Jade City, so I still have a superficial understanding of jade.

Before the two of them got close, the crowd had already begun to squirm, and it seemed that the deal had been completed at the price of 3.2 million. A fat man saw Wen Yaru approaching and said with a smile:

"Old Wen, why are you running so fast? It's just a tall piece of green melon skin. Old Zhang got it."

Wen Yaru shook his head and sighed:

"It's hard to find this kind of high-green glass. I heard that there were two in GD this year, and one of them was still blooming. I didn't see any in YN."

"Nowadays, who will make any noise about it? If it doesn't work, you can still pester Lao Zhang. He has been making jade all his life, so he must have something private."

"Fat Qian, you are talking bad about me behind my back again! I still need a piece of tall green glass to plant a shop."

Wen Yaru smiled and said:

"I'm lucky enough to win, but I can afford to lose my life. I'm not like you, Lao Zhang, who ran to other people's stone cities to grab stones. Don't you want to hang out anymore?"

Fatty Qian smiled and waved his hands:

"The main thing here is stone gambling. These stone gamblers have to participate in the competition of open materials, and the game is not far away from the end. Besides, I can't stand Lao Zhang and throw money away."

The crowd dispersed very quickly. In fact, there were only about thirty people. It was just that the place was small and crowded, so it seemed lively. Wu Di had already looked around the yard. There were some shelves on all sides, and there were all kinds of things on the shelves.

The stone, he knew it was jadeite. There was a cutting machine in the open space in the northeast corner, which should be used for cutting stones. The ground in the northwest corner was covered with a layer of small stones, a layer of yellow skin, and the largest one was not bigger than Wu Di.

It's as big as a fist and about as small as an egg.

Wen Yaru greeted Boss Zhang and Fatty Qian, but did not intend to introduce him to Wu Di. Instead, Fatty Qian came up and asked:

"Old Wen, why don't you introduce me?"

"Haha, Wu Di, the little brother I met on the last train to Meishan, came to see me today. I heard you setting off firecrackers here, so I followed you to see what's going on."

The fat man flipped his hand, and a business card appeared in front of Wu Di.

"My surname is Qian, Qian Dafu. I run a small business of jadeite wool. Welcome brother Wu Di to visit me."

"Nice to meet you, Boss Qian, I've never seen jadeite before."

"Old brother, everything is lacking except for stones. You can look at it as you like, but don't listen to Old Wen's opinion. He is just a bad guy. He will always be ruined if he gambles!"

The next few sentences were deliberately lowered, but Wen Yaru could hear them. Wen Yaru shook his head with a smile, walked to the shelf on one side, and started to look at the stones.

Wu Di smiled and didn't know what to say. Fatty Qian patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Read more and buy less. It's best not to buy. Take your time and read."

Seeing Wu Di turning around to look at the wool, the fat man walked over to Wen Yaru, raised his chin, and Wen Yaru said with a wry smile in a low voice:

"He's just a young brother who gets along well, and he's a very generous person."

The fat man nodded, shook his head and greeted another group of people looking at the stones.

After Wen Yaru finished speaking, he was stunned. They had only met twice, so why did he feel so familiar? He had been so happy in the morning, could it be that they really fell in love? He shook his head and then looked at the stone.

Wu Di watched for a while and couldn't understand, so he simply walked around and came next to Wen Yaru. In just a few minutes, he discovered that Boss Qian's business was different from others. On the contrary, the customers were obviously optimistic about the stone.

He helped find shortcomings and advised others to be careful in their actions.

Wen Yaru bites Wu Di's ear,

"Listen to what he has to say."

It seems that some customers have questioned Boss Qian’s stones. Boss Qian smiled and said:

"Actually, a woolen material dealer of average size like us has a relatively single way to get goods. If you think about it, after digging out the rough stones, you first choose one from the mine, then another from Burma, Pingzhou, and another from Ruili.

, it is the turn of the rest of us. But my batch of stones is different. Some of them were brought back from Myanmar by me personally for gambling, and some were smuggled over through the Tengchong line. I dare not boast about whether they are good or bad.

, after all, everyone has their own dishes. But the price definitely cannot be set according to the kind of stone I mentioned above. Ice seeds cannot be grown in that kind of stone."

Experts, first put yourself on the customer's side, and then tell the customer in a well-reasoned and well-founded way that the goods are different, and the price will naturally be different. The whole process is calm and indifferent. After all, the ice variety has just been launched, so you are not afraid of people not taking the bait.

Another group of guests chose stones, which were as big as a child's head, but they paid two hundred thousand. When Wu Di heard them talking about pine flowers, python belts and so on, he quickly asked Lao Wen. Wen Yaru took a few stones, one by one.

Point it to Wu Di.

Pine flowers refer to the blocks, strips, and ribbons that are vaguely visible on the surface of jadeite, like dried moss, and with a color like pine leaves. They are traces left by the original green color on the original jadeite stone that has gradually faded due to weathering.

.According to the color depth, shape, direction, quantity, and density of the pine flowers, the depth, direction, size, shape, etc. of the green inside can be inferred.

The python belt is a regular and directional arrangement of weathered and semi-weathered sand grains in the same dark or light color as the surface on the surface of the original jadeite, in the form of belts, rings, blocks, etc. The python belt is generally parallel to the green surface.

direction.

There was a harsh sound from the stone dissolving machine. After cleaning the two windows, the group of guests saw no green, so they cut it with a knife. The knife cut off about two centimeters thick skin, and another person immediately ran over and poured some water on it.

Water, Wu Di stood on the outside and saw nothing, but heard him shouting excitedly:

"If there is green, the bet has gone up. Boss, the goods you have here are really good."

A roar gathered all the guests scattered around to the stone dissolving machine. Fatty Qian lay on the stone dissolving machine, took a look at it, and said:

"The green color is good. You can't see the seeds yet, but they should be bean seeds. Should I cut them? If not, they can be sold now."

"Cut, cut again."

Some were booing.

Lao Zhang moved a little slowly and didn't squeeze in. He shouted anxiously outside:

"I'll pay 400,000!"

Then he said to the people in front of him:

"Rang, thank you, Rang, I have already made a bid."

No one raised the price at the scene. Bean seeds are different from ice types. If this piece of wool cannot be high-green or the jade is not big enough, not to mention 400,000 or 200,000 yuan for the wool may not be recovered.

Lao Zhang squeezed in, lay down on the cut surface and looked at it with a strong flashlight for a long time. He stood up without saying anything. The few people who worked on the stone discussed it and decided to sell the wool to Lao Zhang. Because the seeds were not good, the next step was to

You also have to bet on sex and the size of the jadeite. It's too much of a gamble, so you might as well make a small profit and stop immediately.

Lao Zhang smiled and transferred the money using Fatty Qian's computer. Fatty Qian cursed:

"You have too much money to burn!"

"Fat man, you are out of date. These days, jade is a good stone. In two years, it will be hard to even see bean seeds."
