Chapter 15 The Public Offering Begins
The business card management system of Tianyuan Continent is really extensive. After studying stone for a few days, there are not even 3,000 people who dare to claim to be a master of stone rank. There are even a considerable number of people who simply claim to be a master of stone rank. As for the reason, satisfying a certain vanity in their hearts is one aspect, but more because this self-proclaimed identity may bring them huge profits one day.
Obviously, the five-year regular stone publication is the opportunity for these "stone masters" or even "stone masters" to make huge profits. Of course, these self-proclaimed masters will definitely not spend their money to try their skills in the publication. Most of them will be employed by some rich gamblers, enjoying master-level courtesy, and taking generous commissions while experimenting with their immature theories against their conscience, or simply testing their own luck.
If you are lucky and help your employer make money, in addition to making more thanks, it will also be considered a reputation for yourself. It can be imagined that life in the future should be much better.
But what if you lose bad luck and pay for others? This... doesn't matter! No one will naively think that gambling stones will definitely not pay for them, so no one will punish them.
There are naturally many businesses that are stable and profitable, and the team of "stone technicians" is also expanding, and the prosperity of the stone gambling industry can also be seen from this.
But the real circle of stone masters is actually far from as big as it seems. It has a complete cognitive system and its strength can be recognized by the industry. There are only more than a hundred people in Yifang City. However, most of these people are not very famous. Except for those who have become resident stone masters, they will be considered by the public to stand at the top of the industry, while most of the others live a poor life and are never known.
Usually, these real stone genitalists will never be employed by others to earn those seemingly generous commissions. A very simple truth is that if he can be sure that a piece of raw stone can make money, then it is naturally more cost-effective to buy it by himself. If he cannot be sure that a piece of raw stone can make money and instigate others to buy it, isn’t that a fraud!
Anyone who is somewhat conceited about his skills does not want to be a liar, but sadly, the lives of liars are much better than theirs.
OK! Let’s not mention those scammers for now, but only say that in the circle of real stone masters, there have been a few news that are circulating recently.
First of all, according to reliable news, the man who was respected as "Ding Shen" by the stone masters appeared in Yifang City again after disappearing for twenty years. But unfortunately, this "Ding Shen" has reached the end of his life, deaf and dazzled, and is no longer as magic as he was back then.
However, at this point when the public market is about to open, Ding Shen suddenly appears, so it is naturally not a simple coincidence. Everyone thinks that Ding Shen’s return this time should be his newly accepted disciple!
And his apprentice...it's better if you don't mention it!
Another thing that happened in Yifang City was much more interesting. It was a naughty young man who came from nowhere, and he even wanted to say that he was a master of stone grade. This master was really interesting. He only bought and did not read when he saw the stone. As long as he opened his mouth, he would have to wrap his body around.
It is said that as long as the shopkeeper of a store makes him like him, he will buy all the raw stones in that store in one go. Not only will he never bargain, but he will not feel disappointed or happy on his face no matter whether the bet is broken or the bets rise. It seems that he bought the stones just to chat with the female shopkeepers he likes.
As for how to describe this master’s achievements in gambling stones? It’s worth ten and three return! It probably just reflects the actual profit margin of the industry of gambling stones.
In just a few days, it is said that this stone gambling master has lost tens of millions of spirit stones. Such a master who doesn’t use money as money is of course more popular than those who cheat others of money. It is precisely because of him that there has been an additional employment opportunity in Yifang City recently, that is, each store is recruiting temporary shopkeepers with a lot of money.
The store has only two criteria for choosing temporary shopkeepers. The first is: female cultivator! Second: Beautiful!
The temporary shopkeeper's job is also very simple. As long as he stands beautifully at the door of the store, he will be charming at the particularly burly monks on the street from time to time, even if he is working together, as long as he can attract a master into the store, he will be easy to say!
In addition to these two things that can be almost certainly true, there are many rumors that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, filling people's ears.
For example, a gambler bought an inconspicuous stone in a shop, but when he returned, he opened the best spirit stone!
For example, a gambler exchanged all his wealth for a rough stone with amazing appearance, but he eventually exploded in the street market early the next morning!
For example, some people say that there is a problem with the purchase channel of some stores, but they see that the public market is approaching but there is no goods in their hands. They can only watch others get rich!
Some people also said that because of the rush to raise money, the Duobao Chamber of Commerce not only sold all the raw stones in stock at a low price, but even the high-quality raw stones in the Duobao Mine that were not originally intended to be gambling stones. Stores with channels have taken a lot of bargains from the Duobao Chamber of Commerce!
All these are all different. Rumors are everywhere, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. The monks who should have been calm and composed were jumping up and down the city and running around like chicken blood.
The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit!
Driven by the heavy profit, Yifang City was covered with a layer of glitz and a noisy atmosphere enveloped the sky. The highly anticipated original stone publication finally kicked off as scheduled on the day when the atmosphere in Yifang City was the warmest!
The place where the gong was beaten was located outside the gate of Yifang City. It is said that the Pinshi Master Association, as the organizer of the public market, made great efforts for this public market, and rendered the opening ceremony extremely grand. The generous speech of the association president pushed the atmosphere of the entire ceremony to a climax.
Tens of thousands of onlookers at the scene were deeply infected by the strong sense of ritual, and their desire to buy was instantly bursting. After the lengthy ceremony was over, they whispered a few words and rushed into the city impatiently. In a blink of an eye, they merged into the crowded crowd in the city.
No one could have thought before that the second climax would come so hasty.
Just one hour after the opening of the public market, another major event that could detonate the whole city happened, and Elder Qian, who missed the opening ceremony, was fortunate to become one of the witnesses of this incident.
At that time, Qian Yang was strolling on the street with his legs and feet "inconvenient" and heard several screams ringing beside him. When Qian Yang turned his head, he saw that there were many people surrounding an inconspicuous street stall next to him.
If you want to say that Yifang City has no walls, the land is not tight and the land price is not very high. Anyone who does business can buy a similar shop for a little money, so street stalls are basically rare in daily life.
But once the public market is about to open, street stalls will be filled with streets like mushrooms after a rain. Most of the owners of these street stalls are not fixed businessmen, but just some indigenous people take advantage of the public market opportunity to buy some goods and plan to make quick money for a few days.
And it was such a temporary stall that attracted the attention of monks all over the city on the first day of the public market.
The protagonist of the incident is a down-and-out monk full of dust. He knew at a glance that this person should have just arrived in Yifang City. If nothing unexpected happens, the reason he came here should be to catch up with this original stone publication.
Let’s look at the person’s dress and mental state. If the person doesn’t have much mental problems, then he may have encountered some obstacles, or he is a bad gambling man from beginning to end.
No matter what, this monk who was dressed in a mess and had dull eyes spent 1,200 spirit stones from somewhere to buy a black sand that was the size of a basketball but was extremely ordinary on an inconspicuous street stall.
According to the rules of Yifang City, any spirit stones purchased in the public market these days must be untied on the spot, no matter how big or small it is, and the down-and-out cultivator will naturally be no exception.
After the money and goods were handed over, the stoneworkers who had already been waiting beside him surrounded him. The down-and-out monk found a stoneworker who was pleasing to him and refused the other party's suggestion to directly halve the stone. He paid a few extra wages for the spirit stone, and asked the stoneworkers to grind out the big stone bit by bit.
The stoneworker had no objection to this. Even though he felt that the stone was really worthless, since the customer was willing to pay the money, he naturally didn't care. Just grind the stone well.
But who would have thought that just such a piece of broken stone, the stoneworker would file a dazzling golden color inside! The stoneworker exclaimed, and the file in his hand would no longer dare to force it down.
His exclamation naturally attracted the attention of people around him. When the eyes that followed the sound fell on the golden yellow, the successive surprise sounds attracted more people on the street to stop and watch. Qian Yang, who happened to pass by, happened to become one of them.
When more people looked at the golden color, the stone shaking was already trembling and unable to control himself. The owner of the stone, the down-and-out monk, had his eyes red and swallowed his saliva.
Anyone who comes to Yifang City will not know what the shocking golden color means. It is the ultimate light unique to the top-quality spirit stones in the Golden Shop!
Qian Yang couldn't help but take a breath. He was no longer the little fool who knew nothing at the time. Is that wealth represented by the golden color the same what he expected?
Elder Qian also owned a top-quality spirit stone in his early years. The source is indescribable, and it is inseparable from killing and robbing people. It was a top-quality spirit stone in Fire. Although the color was different from the one in front of him, the stimulating charm was no different at all.
A top-grade spirit stone is worth at least millions. If nothing unexpected happens, the value of a top-grade spirit stone is enough to quickly create a golden elixir monk, not to mention that the raw stone is as big as a basketball. God knows how many top-grade spirit stones are hidden in it!
"Is this the legendary overnight wealth?" Qian Yang looked at the down-and-out monk's cheeks that were flushed because of excitement. It would be absolutely fake if he didn't have that little envy and jealousy in his heart.
More and more people were surrounding him, but on the contrary, the surroundings became quieter and quieter. Occasionally, some whispers from monks came, but it added some indescribable sense of solemnity to this point.
At some point, more than a dozen black monks with cold expressions squeezed in from the crowd. After a few glances, they formed a circle that was not considered regular, vaguely separating the crowd from the brilliant stone.
There was a little commotion in the crowd, but no one moved. Qian Yang looked at Lao Ding's head with an inquiring gaze, meaning that he asked what these positions were for?
Lao Ding's attention was obviously all on the stone, and he was indifferent to the man in black and Qian Yang's problems. It was not until Qian Yang pulled his sleeve hard that he lowered his voice and replied reluctantly: "Those people are from the Stone Master Association, this is to maintain order, so don't worry about them."
"Oh!" Qian Yang shrugged, his face remained silent, but he felt a little curious about this and other association.
Under the trembling and urging of the down-and-out monk, the stone decoder finally began to polish the outer skin of the raw stone carefully, and the light reflected in the raw stone became more and more dazzling.
The onlookers' breathing became more and more rapid as the descent stone moved. Everyone was shocked to find that after the unsightly black stone was polished off a thin layer of stone, it turned out to be full of golden yellow!
My Three Pure Dao Ancestor! How many top-grade spirit stones should it be?
The monks watched the monks secretly estimated in their minds that Elder Qian, who had learned three-dimensional geometry, even found various formulas that had been abandoned for many years and secretly calculated the volume of the raw stone.
But as he calculated, Elder Qian suddenly felt his heart moving, and the numbers in his mind disappeared instantly. He turned his head slightly in surprise and happened to see an extremely burly guy in the crowd doing a very strange action.
Unlike other onlookers who were watching, the burly monk held something in his hand. He raised the thing high above his head and was facing the calcite scene in the center of the field. It seemed that he would occasionally move slightly, as if he was adjusting the angle.
Qian Yang felt very strange. He didn't know what the man was doing, but he felt that his movements were familiar. After thinking for a while, he was shocked to find that the man's movements seemed to be a DV in his hand in his previous life, shooting something.
Qian Yang's eyes stayed on the burly monk for a while, and the monk obviously noticed it, and turned his head and met Qian Yang's eyes.
