I said, "yes, everybody isn't stupid, that's the idea." Therefore, people are willing to put away those gold coins with good fineness and spend those gold coins with poor fineness, and finally it results in fewer and fewer gold coins with good fineness on the market, and more and more gold coins with poor color, which is the so-called bad money to drive out good money. refers to poor products, but drives away good products. There are many such examples in life, such as in the company, those who steal and cheat, but drive away the people who work hard. For example, pork is sold in the market. Selling meat from unknown sources, because of the low price, has robbed the regular vendors of their business. One of the most common examples we can give is that when we queue up for the bus, the people who are honestly queuing up do not have seats, and those who are desperately squeezing up as soon as the bus comes have seats. This is the smugness of the bad guys and the grievances of the good guys. ”

Chen Jianying nodded: "Huanxi girl, I understand when you say that, isn't the current Mr. Xu a ready-made example? Mr. Xu, who cares so much about everyone's interests, thinks about everyone, and doesn't want ordinary people to gamble on stones, has become a villain in the eyes of everyone." On the contrary, Master Yan, who has no lower limit for the sake of interests, has become the object of popularity. ”

I praised it: "Jianying, you understand it very well." ”

Yu Xiaoli said: "Huanxi girl, you are still very knowledgeable! I haven't asked yet, what kind of education do you have? I think I'm afraid you're a graduate student." Compared to you, both of us are illiterate. I graduated from high school, and he was a broken secondary school, which is really incomparable. ”

Chen Jianying said: "There are more than graduate students, I think it may be a female doctor." ”

Yu Xiaoli glared at him: "What are you kidding?

I laughed wryly: "Don't put gold on my face." I dropped out of junior high school before I graduated from junior high school, so do you still have to compare your academic qualifications with me?"

I heard that I hadn't graduated from junior high school yet.

Both living treasures were taken aback.

Even calling me a trick on them.

"If only I played tricks on you, my biggest regret now is that I didn't go to much school. But it's true, my family is poor, and my parents are patriarchal, so I think it's useless for girls to read, just know a few words. ”

At this time, Mr. Xu also opened his mouth: "But listening to the girl's words, she is so organized, and she also cites scriptures, it doesn't look like she is uneducated." ”

I replied, "It's over, but I just like to read the newspaper and watch the news." What you see and remember, how much you can remember, and then you like to show off, which is why you misunderstood. Actually, I know a little bit about it, and I don't know any more. ”

Mr. Xu sighed with emotion: "Miss Huanxi is too polite, but what she said about learning is reasonable. In fact, you don't have to go to school to study, as long as you want to learn, you can do it anytime, anywhere. ”

Yu Xiaoli asked Mr. Xu: "Sir, let me take the liberty of asking, since you are so excluded by those people, why do you insist on coming to the public market? Why should you suffer such humiliation? Isn't this self-deprecation?"

Mr. Xu sighed: "The old man has been in the jadeite industry all his life, and he has a strong affection for jadeite. And the old man also wanted to find a few pieces of good materials, because my ideal was to build a jade museum, and no one supported me, so I could only accumulate it little by little. Hey, the old man's savings in this life are basically used in the Jade Museum. ”

......

At this point, we basically understand the situation.

And then it's time for us to get down to business.

We befriended this Master Xu.

Listen to him tell what happened to him.

Originally, we still wanted to gain the favor of this master, and then help us gamble on stones.

Now, we already know that the dirty water on this old Mr. Xu is slander.

There is no problem with his character.

Same as I had guessed at the beginning.

Then we're going to start asking for advice.

I didn't hide it, I didn't go around in circles, but said directly: "Old man, don't hide it, the three of us are also here to gamble on stones." We don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, we say that we like jade culture, we don't know anything about jade culture, we just want to make money. But the three of us are a pair and a half of mallets, and our little jade knowledge is all pieced together. Mr. Xu, what you said is very right, people like us who have no experience enter the venue to pay the tuition fees, or we are treated as leeks, so we don't dare to bid at all. Now that we have met Mr. Xu, we are also destined, others doubt your character, we don't doubt it, so we want Mr. Xu to help us palm our eyes and give us some pointers, okay? Don't let us come for nothing. ”

I said it very directly.

Because I know that people like Mr. Xu are well-informed.

Rich experience.

He's just more decent, but he's not stupid.

I think he must have seen countless people who wanted to make a fortune gambling on stones.

I have also seen countless people who want to talk from his mouth.

It can be said that such a person even has empty eyelashes.

If I was acting in front of him, I would deliberately play tricks.

Then you can only lose the goodwill that you have accumulated so hard before.

So it's better to tell the truth.

Be honest with each other.

Say what we want to do.

It's up to Mr. Xu to help us.

......

Hear me say that.

The two living treasures finally understood my intention of deliberately befriending Mr. Xu.

They all gave me admiring glances.

Mr. Xu pondered for a moment.

Only then did he speak: "Forget it, I haven't given anyone guidance for many years, one is that I am now infamous, and few people still want to believe me." Besides, I was also hurt by the people who used to be. The bosses who were instructed by my junior brother to jump out and accuse me of cheating on me, how humble they were when they asked me for advice? But actually, I didn't work with those people once or twice, and some of them were still years of relationship. Under my guidance, they have gambled, but they have risen more, and they have framed me like that, which really makes my teeth cold. So I won't give anyone advice anymore, because I'm not an immortal, I can't guarantee that you will get rich, and I don't want to fall out with you again because of interests. ”

Hearing Mr. Xu's words, I hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, we will ask you, we will never do this kind of ungrateful thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! As long as you are willing to help, if it rises afterwards, we will pay you the consulting fee in proportion, but if it collapses, we will admit it ourselves, and we will definitely not be angry with others!"

As I spoke, I looked at the two living treasures.

"You still don't say anything?"

Chen Jianying hurriedly said: "Miss Huanxi is right, she is our boss, we all listen to her, there is no second word." ”

Yu Xiaoli also said: "Yes, old man, although we haven't seen anything in the world, we also know that gambling on stones is a risky thing, we are here to make a fortune, but we haven't plunged into the eyes of money, and we don't know how to do things." If we lose money in the future, we will find the back account, and we will complain about your old words, is that still a human thing? If you don't believe it, we can sign a letter of commitment. ”

We are very sincere.

But Mr. Xu was still hesitating.

He pondered for a while: "Three, as you said, I have a relationship with the three of you, and you helped me when I was so down, and it is reasonable that I should not be stingy with my knowledge." But the reason why I don't want to point out is that in addition to what I said above, I can't guarantee that you who I point out will definitely make money, there are deeper concerns. That is, if under my guidance, you lose, it seems to hurt you, but it may still help you. But if I point out that you all make a lot of money, it seems that I am helping you, but in fact I am hurting you. ”

Chen Jianying and Yu Xiaoli looked at each other.

Didn't get it.

But I understood.

"Mr. Xu, are you saying that if we lose our gambling stones, although we lose money, we may wash our hands and stop gambling stones, so that we will not suffer greater losses in the future. But if we win a handful under your guidance, then we will become addicted, and then we will become addicted, and in the end we will lose everything we win, and we will lose even more?"

Mr. Xu approvingly: "Miss Huanxi is really smart, that's what I mean." Do you know? People who go to the casino for the first time are most afraid that they have won the first few handfuls, so they will mistakenly think that either they are good at gambling, or they are against the sky, or even like the god of gambling, and then they will continue to gamble, and the more they gamble, the bigger they will be, and even become a bad gambler. ”

Actually, it's not that I'm smart.

But I've heard similar stories like this.

True story.

The story of Sister Wu, who sold clothes at the night market, had a conflict with me, and finally became a good friend.

Sister Wu originally had a good relationship with her husband.

They are all outsiders, but they work hard together to gain a foothold in the provincial capital.

But later, when Sister Wu's husband started buying lottery tickets, something bad happened.

Sister Wu's husband took 2 yuan, bought the first lottery ticket, and won 30,000 yuan.

So he floated.

Inflated.

He thought that maybe he was a man of special luck.

It is suitable to make a fortune through the lottery.

So since there is such an easy way to make a fortune, what are you doing at work?

What are you doing, you didn't buy lottery tickets to make money quickly!

So, Sister Wu's husband began to continue to buy lottery tickets.

I hope next time I hit 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000, 5,000,000.

Unfortunately, his luck seems to have run out after buying a lottery ticket for the first time.

Never hit the jackpot since.

Even prizes of more than 200 yuan are rarely won.

But he not only spent all the 30,000 yuan he won, but also filled a lot of money into it.

I've gone mad.

Stimulated by the shattering of his dream of getting rich again and again, he began to drink heavily.

When he gets drunk, he beats his wife.

Spanking the child.

In the end, Sister Wu and her husband finally divorced.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with people loving money, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to get rich.

But if you only see the money, you can't see the price you might pay and the dangers you might encounter in order to get it.

That belongs to Li Lingzhi's faintness.

Pulled by desire, sooner or later it will embark on a road of no return.

......

"Mr. Xu, please allow me to reintroduce a few of us. We did come to earn money, but I can assure you that the three of us haven't lost our sense of proportion, and we know exactly what we are and what we can do. Before we came, we had already discussed, whether we made money or lost money this time, we would not touch the side of the gambling stone again in the future. But we do need money now, so we really need your old guidance. This one, his name is Chen Jianying, and the reason why he needs money is to rescue a woman who is in dire straits...... As for this old Yu and Yu Xiaoli, he can also talk about his affairs......"

I told Mr. Xu about Chen Jianying and Yu Xiaoli, why they came to gamble on stones.

I'm very realistic.

Even they were liars before, but later they washed their hands and changed their minds, and they have been arrested and educated.

There is no way.

The only way to ask for help is to be honest with each other.

Because we have no friendship or relationship with this Mr. Xu, we can't afford to pay hundreds of thousands of consulting fees.

I can only move people's hearts with sincerity.

In order to increase the effect of persuasion, I even came to gamble on the stone with the unpaid Boss Song, provoked us, and told us about the bet with us.

"As for me, I'm not afraid of your jokes, old man, I was pulled by them halfway, before this, I didn't know anything about jadeite, and I hadn't even heard of gambling stones. But the two of them said that they wanted to listen to me, because they thought I was very domineering? Isn't this an international joke? I'm stupid, too, and I agreed in a hot head, because the ignorant are fearless! I thought it was the same as going to the vegetable market. But when I got here, I saw these thousands of jade rough stones, in front of such a large number, one person is too small, I felt panicked, I felt that I was really impulsive, and took this hot potato. So I'm really stressed now, the more they trust me, the more pressure I have, although they said that even if it is a full loss, I don't have to be responsible, but I can't be without responsibility. So I really hope that Mr. Xu will help!"

Sure enough, sincerity is the open.

Mr. Xu clenched his fists and said as if he had made up his mind: "Since you have all said such things, if I refuse again, it will really be unkind." In this way, let's go in, I won't do anything else in the morning, help you choose, I'll give you more than a dozen numbers, these are all optimistic about me, but whether they are all green, I dare not guarantee. If you have more money, you can shoot it all, if you don't have enough money, you can choose which ones you want, I don't participate in this, it depends on your own luck. Because since gambling is involved, there must be luck. I have been in this industry for decades, and I have indeed seen experts who speak at the head of the Tao, gambling on one piece and breaking another, being slapped in the face on the spot, and discredited. I didn't understand anything, and I couldn't even tell the difference between the expensive and the low, and I gambled dozens of kilograms of glass seeds at once. ”

Me and the two living treasures are naturally very grateful.

Mr. Xu waved his hand: "We declare in advance, I will help you this time, it is to thank you for your help just now, you have earned, you don't need to give me a penny of benefits, you have lost, I can only express regret, because I am not begging you to believe me." But again, no matter how much you earn, don't make a big deal about it that I recommended it to you, and the cooperation between us is only once. It's okay to be friends in the future, but this kind of thing doesn't have to be. ”

This is a reasonable request.

The three of us nodded in agreement.

Then, like three little dog legs, he followed behind Mr. Xu.

Follow suit.

Mr. Xu seemed to be in a good mood.

The conversation is also very high.

As he walked, he said with a smile: "Many legends about gambling stones are actually fake. Something picked up the rags, picked up a stone on the road, and cut out 1 million jadeite. What someone spent 500 yuan, bought a rough stone, cut out the bracelet for a suite. It's all deliberately hyped up by those people, just to attract more people to the market. But not all legends are fabricated, they are all fictional. For example......"

Mr. Xu looked at me: "For example, what you said, that domineering wife chose the best jade like a watermelon, which is true." ”

Chen Jianying was very excited: "Ah, really? haha, I said it's true." ”

Mr. Xu smiled: "But you only know one thing, you don't know the other, there was indeed a person at that time, with the intention of getting rich overnight, to gamble on stones, but at the beginning he always lost, gambled once and lost once, lost almost all the money, and even sold the cattle in the family." Later, her wife came and asked the man to go home with him and stop gambling here. But the man was already red-eyed at that time, and he didn't want to go home, so he got into a fight with his wife. The woman was so angry that she said she just chose a stone to cut it and see it, no different from choosing a watermelon. I go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables, choose this one more experienced than you, give me the money, I will choose!"

When Mr. Xu said this, Chen Jianying said on the side: "Yes, yes, that's what we heard. said that the man's wife was really like picking a watermelon in the vegetable market, choosing a rough stone, and then unraveling the jade raw materials of hibiscus from it, and selling it for millions. ”

Mr. Xu shook his head: "How can it be so easy? In fact, the man's wife took the money, and she was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the public market. She didn't understand anything, how could she really dare to bid? Later, she was so anxious that she cried, and I met her. I saw that she was pitiful, so I pointed her out and asked her to choose a few small stones. ”

Yu Xiaoli suddenly realized: "No wonder! It turns out that the man's wife met you, Mr. Xu! You are her nobleman!"

Mr. Xu said with a smile: "If you want to say that you are a nobleman, you can be regarded as a nobleman, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as it is rumored outside, and in the end, only one piece of jadeite was solved, and later it was made into a green jade bracelet with bean seeds, which is more than 200,000 yuan, which is not as exaggerated as the millions said outside." ”

I also laughed: "Sure enough, this rumor is getting more and more outrageous." Sesame seeds can also be blown into watermelon. And what happened to the couple after that?"

Mr. Xu said: "Fortunately, the couple are not insatiable people, knowing that they alone have no way to see the value of the rough stone, so they took the money home and bought several cows, and then slowly developed into a small farm, and then became a large farm, and now they are now well-known local farmers and entrepreneurs." They often invite me to be a guest. ”
