After Gou Lanren briefly described the basic rules and rules of gambling stones, the gambling stone conference officially began.

It is said that it is a gambling stone conference, but in fact, this is an auction in disguise.

Merchants take out the rough stone and display it in the center of the venue, and those who want to participate in the gambling stone can choose any piece of rough stone to bid, of course, the highest bidder.

At the beginning of the conference, a large number of rough stones had been placed on the platform of more than 100 square meters in the center, but they had been covered by a curtain.

After Gou Lanren finished speaking, he ordered the staff to lift the drape.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

I saw that on the platform in the center, there were thousands of rough stones of various shapes, large and small.

The largest of them was the size of a party.

"I have participated in more than 1,000 gambling stone conferences across the country, and it is the first time I have seen such a large-scale gambling stone conference!" said a white-bearded old man as he stroked his beard.

"Haha, old man, then you must be the first time to come to Wancheng, it is not unreasonable for Wancheng to be known as the capital of jade. ”

"Wancheng has the largest jade carving market, and also has the largest number of jade carving masters with the best skills. ”

"There are countless wealthy merchants who bring jade to Wancheng every year, and of course they have accumulated a lot of uncut rough stones. ”

"The old man is going to have a long experience today!"

This person should be a local, and when he mentions Wancheng, he is full of pride.

"Thousands of rough stones, how many treasures do you have to cut out of this?"

"That's not necessarily, gambling on stones relies on seven points of luck and three points of vision. ”

"If you're not lucky, you'll get something if you have good vision!"

"If you don't have both, it's best not to try!"

......

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the sound of discussion filled the entire gambling stone conference.

At this time, Gou Lanren said to the participants: "In the first round of the Gambling Stone Conference, friends who want to participate in the Gambling Stone Conference can choose one of the thousands of rough stones for the preliminary competition, and those who cut out the jade with an estimated value of more than 500,000 will advance to the next round!"

What? Race? What's the situation?

"Isn't this a jade conference?

"Yes, you didn't say you wanted to compete in exchange for qualification?"

"What's going on? Could it be that Wancheng has another purpose for this gambling stone conference?"

For a while, doubts arose.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Gou Lanren said solemnly, "Everyone, please listen to me. ”

"Originally, anyone could participate in this gambling stone conference, otherwise, we would not have issued an invitation to the whole country!"

"However, just recently, we received a commission from several big bosses to select three of the best players from all over the country to complete a special task. ”

"This is the temporary holding of this gambling stone competition! Please forgive me!"

"However, even though it is a gambling stone competition, although everyone may not all participate, but everyone can follow the participants to make bets, in this case, isn't it the same as everyone participates?"

"And isn't that more fun?"

After listening to Gou Lanren's explanation, the noise at the scene was a little quieter, but there were still people talking.

"Excuse me, what are you going to ask the winner to do?" asked one of them, standing up.

"I'm sorry, only the winner is qualified to know about this matter, not even I know!" Gou Lanren replied gently

"Is there any reward for the winner?" someone asked again.

Actually, this is an idiot's question, but it is also a question that many people want to know.

"Haha, this friend laughed, since it's a competition, of course there are rewards!"

"The reward for the third place is that all the rough stones he fired today, no matter how valuable they are, there will be no fees for this conference, not even the cost of the cost, and there will be a bonus of 50 million. ”

"The prize for the second place is on top of the prize for the third place, plus a prize of 50 million. ”

"And the first place, the prize is 200 million!"

The scene of "Boom ......" exploded all at once.

This reward is too rich, if you win the first place, it will be the pinnacle of life all of a sudden.

"But!" Gou Lanren said again: "If you can't enter the top three, then of course all the costs must be borne by yourself, and besides, we will also charge a commission of 10% of the price of jade!"

As soon as these words came out, the discussion immediately subsided.

None of the people at the scene, whether they are old or young, know that the gambling stone industry is a bottomless pit.

The so-called "gambling stones are risky, and you need to be cautious when you open your mouth!" is this reason

Although the original stone is not jade, but sometimes it is more expensive than jade, if it is good to open something, if the expelled thing does not match the value, or simply nothing can be opened, at that time, it is really called every day, called the earth is not spiritual!

In the gambling stone industry, there are countless bankruptcies because of an accidental loss.

Seeing that the scene finally quieted down, Gou Lanren smiled slightly, and then said: "The competition starts now, anyone can participate in the preliminary round, as long as the rough stone you open is worth more than 500,000, you will be qualified for the semi-finals, and there is no quota limit." ”

The people who were enthusiastic just now are now a little hesitant.

Actually, there is nothing to hesitate about, but they are stumped by their own thoughts.

In fact, the preliminary round is the same as no competition, anyone can participate, but they were blocked by the "cost at your own expense" that Gou Lanren said before.

What they didn't expect was that even if there was no competition, they weren't at their own expense?

However, not everyone was bluffed, and finally someone moved, and with the first person, of course there will be a second person, and a third ......

At one time, there were more than 100 stone gamblers.

"Sir......" Zhou Yunsheng called out to Zhao Yan.

That means, you don't go yet!

What is Zhao Yan's ability? Zhou Yunsheng knows too well, as long as Zhao Yan participates, he will definitely not run first.

"Well, I'm going to have fun too!" Zhao Yan got up and left.

Xue Minglu also got up, and Zhou Yunsheng also wanted to follow.

Zhao Yan stopped, turned back to the two of them and said, "Don't go, you are responsible for betting, remember, you have to press it when my odds are the highest!"

At the same time, Zhao Yan took out a bank card and handed it to Xue Minglu and said: "This is my wife's book, remember, if it is not the highest, you must not press it!"

Zhou Yunsheng nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, everything has me!"

Xue Minglu didn't speak, but listened to Zhou Yunsheng's words, and she glanced at Zhou Yunsheng deeply.

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the central platform.

At the moment when Zhao Yan got up, several people noticed him.

Qin Wuyang immediately said to the entourage beside him: "Remember, always pay attention to this young man, and when it comes to the final finals, press all the belongings on him!"

The entourage listened to Qin Wuyang's words and looked surprised, but still nodded.

When the bald head beside Qu Shengwen saw Zhao Yan, he muttered a few words in Qu Shengwen's ear, and Qu Shengwen nodded.

Gou Lanren also noticed Zhao Yan, he met Zhou Yunsheng by coincidence that day, and also met Zhao Yan by coincidence.

It's just that he sneered at Zhao Yan.

What can a teenage kid do?

There was another person who noticed Zhao Yan, and that was Chi Jingyang on the rostrum.

At the beginning, when he saw Qin Wuyang excitedly walking towards Zhao Yan, he noticed Zhao Yan.

He knew Qin Wuyang, and he also invited him, of course he knew who Qin Wuyang was.

Someone who can make Qin Wuyang so excited, and who can make Qin Wuyang stop with a single look, how could he not pay attention.

It's just that he just looks, Zhao Yan hasn't shown any performance yet, and he can't be targeted.

After a quarter of an hour, no one was left behind, and most people had already chosen their goals.

Many people are carefully selected and cautious.

At this time, Zhao Yan looked at all the rough stones in one go.

In fact, he is just pretending.

Before the curtain was lifted, he had seen through all the rough stones, and even had a rough estimate of their price.

When everyone chose the rough stone, Zhao Yan was still hesitating.

Moreover, his last gaze actually fell on a rough stone of nearly half the square size that no one was optimistic about.

"He wouldn't really want to choose that, would he?" Zhou Yunsheng said with a frown.

Because, in his experience, although the rough stone was huge, the contents of it could never be compared with the price of the rough stone.

The price of the rough is 10 million, but the contents will not exceed 2 million at most.

Zhou Yunsheng believes that this piece of rough stone was taken out by the merchant to make up the number, or rather, it was taken out to cheat money.

Moreover, there were many experienced contestants who had studied the rough stone and eventually gave up.

He didn't believe that Zhao Yan couldn't see it.

"Little brother, have you made your choice?" asked Gou Lanren very gently.

His attitude towards Zhao Yan at this time was much better than when he was at the airport.

Everyone else also looked at Zhao Yan with sarcastic eyes.

Zhao Yan didn't even look at him, nor did he care about other people's eyes, he directly pointed to the rough stone and said, "Just it!"

"Haha, this idiot, do you have a brain?

"Whose kid is this, come out to make a joke, right?

"What are you talking about, maybe someone's dad is rich, so it's good to pit more!"

......

"Are you sure it's it?that's 10 million?" asked Gou Lanren with a smile as he looked at Zhao Yan.

"Well, that's it, there should be something in it!" Zhao Yan held the sword in his hand and hugged it to his chest, looking pretending to be profound.

When he said this, the laughter at the scene became even worse.

"Okay! Move it up!" Gou Lanren waved his hand, and two strong men entered the field, annoying the rostrum.

After the crowd laughed, they finally focused their attention on the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now, you can bet on the rough stones you are optimistic about, there are a total of two hundred and forty-eight rough stones here, take the top ten!"

"There are rewards for betting on the top 10, and because it's the first round, there are no odds for the time being. ”

The scene immediately became lively, and the bettors scrambled to be the first, and Peng was afraid that others would rob him of his jackpot.

Half an hour later, the bet ended, and among the two hundred and forty-eight people, there was no surprise that only Zhao Yan's original stone was not bet.

"Boss Zhou, are we going to press it?" Xue Minglu looked at Zhou Yunsheng and asked.

"No, we have to wait until the end, I seem to understand what Mr. is going to do!" Zhou Yunsheng said.

In fact, he had already begun to secretly admire Zhao Yan in his heart.

But he couldn't show it, and he still had a solemn expression on his face.

Gou Lanren glanced at Zhou Yunsheng, noticed Zhou Yunsheng's solemn expression, and he also smiled in his heart.

However, when he saw Xue Minglu beside Zhou Yunsheng, his expression was really stunned?

"Who is she? How can she feel a sense of déjà vu?" Gou Lanren said in surprise.

However, in the end, he was sure that he had not seen it.

Of course he hadn't seen it, and he couldn't see through the nanomasks.

Time advanced minute by minute, and voices of exclamation and regret were heard from time to time at the scene.

More than 200 contestants have cut 247 rough stones, of which another 183 have cut out more than 500,000 jade.

In the end, it was Zhao Yan's turn to be the original stone.

"Little brother, are you sure you want to cut it?" This knife goes down, but it is 10 million, whether it is in it or not, whether it is worth it or not, you have to pay!" Gou Lanren reminded very "kindly".

"Cut it, you will pay the bill in the end anyway!" Zhao Yan said with confidence.

"Uh......" Everyone was stunned.

Then there was another burst of laughter.

"Haha, this little guy is stupid, right? He's already considered himself to be in the top three!"

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and anyone with experience knows that this rough stone is not worth it... Ten million, and it's far from worth it!"

"Look, this guy still has a sword in his hand, and he can fit it, buddy......"

The ridicule was endless.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, there was a "click" sound from the rostrum.

"Out, out......" someone shouted.

In the end, when even the stone cutter master was impatient, he finally came out of the green.

It's just that the blue-green jade is only the size of a child's fist.

The final estimate is 510,000, the penultimate one.

"It's okay! I've finally passed the test!" Zhao Yan said with a pretended relief look.
