Chapter 83 Gambling Jade Culture
"Boss, why don't you pick a few random ones? I know you don't need that, but it's okay to choose one for your aunt. The fat man said generously.
"You'd better save it!"
Yu Zehai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you think a person who farms and does farm work in the countryside needs to wear gold and silver? Hurry up, take me directly to see the rough stone." ”
"Uh, well-known then!"
A young woman who looked like a lobby manager walked over quickly and whispered to Zhang Zhiwen, "Young Master Zhang!"
"It's okay, I'll take a friend to see the rough stone, you guys are busy with yourself, don't worry about me." The fat man waved his hand.
Going out from the back door of Zhang's Jewelry, there is a secluded alley, and Yu Zehai is a little interested in this alley.
It's a very old alley, like a building half a century ago. Seriously, it is relatively rare for an alley like this to be located in the center of Shenshui City, at least, Yu Zehai has been wandering around Shenshui City a lot recently, but today is the first time I have seen such an old building.
Walking out along the alley, I came to a small street after a while, although the street was relatively deserted, but I could still see pedestrians sparsely. Yu Zehai glanced left and right, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Hold the sun! Fat man, why did you sneak me to the antique street?"
"That's right! This is indeed an antique street! However, our destination is almost there!" Yu Zehai pointed to a large vermilion iron gate in front of him and said, "That's it!"
Zhang Zhiwen stepped forward and grabbed the pull ring of the big iron door and knocked, and after a while, an old man who was over the age of sixteen poked out a head from the crack in the door with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, and his dirty and yellowed eyes looked back and forth on Yu Zehai's two bodies.
"Grandpa Mingde, I'm Wenwen!" Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll bring a friend over to see the rough stone." ”
"It turned out to be you little fat man!" The old man's eyes swept over Yu Zehai again, then opened the door and said, "Come in!"
When the two walked into the courtyard, Yu Zehai's eyes swept over the fat man's body curiously, and said, "As for keeping it so secret?
"Gambling on stones is indeed legal!"
Zhang Zhiwen nodded and said: "One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears sackcloth, this sentence is talking about gambling stones." But one thing you have to be clear about is that gambling stone is a kind of moral 'gambling jade culture' formed in the jade business circle after the reform and opening up, which is contrary to the traditional virtue culture of our Chinese nation. Use the theory of all relying on vision and all relying on luck in the 'gambling jade culture' to play the edge ball of the law. Therefore, although our country has not yet explicitly prohibited this absurd and unhealthy trend, the people in this circle know in their hearts that everyone knows and I know, and it is okay to try to do it in private. Once you put it on the table and start working with great fanfare, sooner or later someone will clean you up with all kinds of excuses. ”
"I'll go!"
Yu Zehai was also knowledgeable when he heard this, but he still couldn't help but say: "But I heard that there are still 'public' and 'private' in the gambling stone market, isn't it obvious that it is doing it with great fanfare?"
"Do you know which countries are the general opening locations?" Zhang Zhiwen rolled his eyes and said angrily: "We are in Niucha in China, and we can't care about other countries, right? According to what you say, it is a serious crime to prostitute in our Huaxia, but it is still a legal industry in a certain country in the south." ”
"Uh...... Okay, let's hurry up and look at the stones!" Yu Zehai held his forehead with one hand and said helplessly.
"This yard is not our family's rough stone storehouse. It's all the deep-water jade jewelry merchants who have a part here. Zhang Zhiwen pointed his finger and said, "How can you say it, you can also see this place as a miniature version of the 'private market' market." ”
Yu Zehai noticed that at this moment, many stores were open, and there were also sporadic people shopping for rough stones.
This is some jewelry and jade peers and lovers of "gambling jade culture" who do not believe in evil. Anyway, they are all doing business to make money, and these merchants buy back a large number of rough stone wool, in addition to unlocking a part of the rough stone wool that they think they can grasp the high energy of jade, as for the remaining ones, they will be put out for everyone to "gamble".
Soon, Zhang Zhiwen stopped at the door of a room.
"Young Master Zhang!"
When he saw the two people outside, a middle-aged man in the house immediately walked out and greeted the fat man. Yu Zehai noticed that there was also a small signboard hanging on the door of this room, which also read the words "Zhang's Jewelry".
The same name, however, this place is obviously far worse than the shop outside, both in terms of signboard workmanship and momentum, it is far inferior.
The rooms next to it were all the same, with a small signboard hanging from them.
If these storefronts were not hidden in such a deep place, Yu Zehai would mistakenly think that this is also a commercial street, although the façade here is much worse than the outside, but after all, it is also a façade.
"You are busy with yours first, I'll bring a friend over to take a look!" Zhang Zhiwen waved his hand and said.
Compared to the glittering shop outside, this spacious hall is much more cluttered and unbearable. Rough wool of different sizes and colors are either placed on shelves or stacked directly on the floor, but without exception, each piece of rough wool is also marked with a price.
Some stones are priced at hundreds of pieces, some stones are priced at thousands, but some of the rough stone wool are priced at several million, and even Yu Zehai feels incredible that the price of several of them is more than 10 million.
Inside the hall, except for a few staff members, everyone else was looking at the stones. Some people look at the stones on the shelves, and some people squat there to look at the ground, and these people have a common characteristic, that is, everyone holds a flashlight and keeps tapping and touching those stones. There are even people who carry a small bucket of water and rub it on the stones from time to time.
Yu Zehai felt it secretly, then looked at Zhang Zhiwen next to him, and said with a smile: "Fatty, do you want to play?"
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Boss, don't tempt me! I'm a poor man, and now if you ask me to take out hundreds of thousands, I can take them out, but if I take out a million, I'm afraid it will make me break my bones." Alas, poor!"
Yu Zehai scolded with a smile: "Get out of the calf, if you are poor, then there will be no rich people in the world! I think you have saved a lot of private money over the years, right? You must know that money will depreciate, and the money stored in the bank is not called money, and it is only meaningful if it is taken out and continues to generate value." By the way, speaking of which, I'll have to find a way to raise some more money when I go back, otherwise I'll not be standing by and shouting when you start your next action. ”
"Let's go back and talk about this, I said, boss, why don't you pick a stone? We've all gone around twice now. ”
"Which eye did you see that I didn't pick a stone?" Yu Zehai pursed his lips and said, "Who am I your boss?" Do you think I still need to grind like others when I pick stones?" Yu Zehai is indeed looking at stones, but he does not look with his eyes, but relies entirely on the mental sense in his body. Because he was looking for the kind of jade that contained aura, not to solve the jade.
It's just a pity that after a few turns, he found two more favorite targets. As for the other rough stones, there may be jade in them, but none of them are what he wants. It's just that Yu Zehai didn't realize one thing at all at this moment, that is, there must be jade in the wool with aura, but the wool with jade does not contain aura.
"Man, come here!"
Without waiting for the fat man to speak, Yu Zehai beckoned to a staff member in the store.
"Boss, what do you command?" The salesman was a young man, who ran over quickly and said with a smile at Yu Zehai.
"I bought this stone! It's eight hundred, right?" After seeing the other party nodding, Yu Zehai opened his backpack and began to count the money.
"Damn, boss, do you really give money?" said the fat man next to him with a speechless face.
"One yard to one yard!" Yu Zehai patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "This is your family's property, but it is not yours! You should know that the sale of every stone here must be posted." Even if you invite me to dinner and invite me to play outside, it's okay, but when it comes to these things, then let's still do things according to the rules. After speaking, Yu Zehai directly ordered eight hundred and handed it to the salesman.
The young man didn't know Zhang Zhiwen, so he looked a little dazed after hearing the conversation between the two. After collecting the money, he asked Yu Zehai if he wanted a receipt, and after getting an answer of no, the other party directly picked up the stone and followed the two of them.
"Let's go, let's go out and have fun!" Yu Zehai retracted his gaze and then walked out.
This is an independent simple greenhouse, a stone cutter is installed in the shanty, and dozens of people gather here, staring at the stone cutter in blue overalls with a pair of eyes, to be precise, staring at the rough stone wool in front of the stone cutter.
"Little brother, you bought this piece of wool for 2,000 yuan, and now that you cut out the green, it proves that you have won the bet. I'll give you two million, how about you give me this piece of wool?" next to the stone cutter, a middle-aged man with a big belly looked at a young man with an excited face next to him and said.
"Two million and one million!"
"Two two hundred and twenty thousand!"
......
"Five million!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, different voices sounded next to him one after another. But when a beautiful woman who still had charm shouted out the high price of five million, everyone shook their heads and gave up.
When the young man in front of him heard the figure of five million, his face turned red with excitement, but he was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he hurriedly shouted: "Five million, I sold it!
