After eating, Liu Ziang said hello and went out because he needed to go out to find out the news.

Returning to the courtyard where they stayed, An Huaiyi and the fat man went back to their rooms to rest as soon as possible. The former is too old, while the latter is purely poor in mental quality, so only the two of them performed the most unbearable along the way, and they were tossed enough. In the hall, Yu Zehai accompanied Du Zhongming to drink a cup of tea, and also found an excuse to slip away.

As for resting or something, as long as Yu Zehai is willing, dozens of hours of sleepless sleep will have no effect on him at all. Therefore, it is the first time to go abroad in this life, and it is a magical small city like Ningchan, Yu Zehai is naturally eager to go out and feel it!

The air in the small town is very fresh, there is no pollution, the sky is blue, and the natural scenery is extremely beautiful. The unique exotic buildings and pedestrians of different skin tones are just Yu Zehai noticed that most of the people who come and go are Chinese, and the common language is mainly English, but there are also Chinese.

Yu Zehai wandered aimlessly on the street, admiring and familiarizing himself at the same time.

Since I have come to this magical small town, I can't say anything if I don't have a good taste of exotic culture, and I can't say anything if I don't buy some souvenirs to take back to the beautiful village chief and the children in the village to make souvenirs. As long as it is what he likes, as long as it can be in his sight, he will buy it all. Yu Zehai is not afraid of what others say about "people are stupid and have a lot of money", anyway, there is not much money in total, right?

When it was almost dark, Yu Zehai walked towards the place where he landed. As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard someone talking, it was An Huaiyizheng and the fat man and others who were discussing the matter of gambling on jade.

"An Lao, your reputation and experience in the jade circle in this life are obvious to all! There is still some time now, can you tell us about gambling on jade?" Zhang Zhiwen woke up and recovered well, and was humbly asking for advice at this time.

Since his family knows his own family affairs, An Huaiyi made a fortune by gambling on jade in his early years, and later lost all his family resources due to bad luck, which is not uncommon in the circle. It's just that it is not unreasonable for Zhang's Jewelry to hire such a person to go out of the mountain to serve as the company's stone consultant with a high salary.

According to insiders, An Huaiyi can't do it himself, but he can bring wealth to his employer, which is a typical 'lucky cat'. Zhang's Jewelry made a lot of effort to dig up this person. If it weren't for the introduction of an acquaintance at the end, the other party might not be willing to sell himself to Zhang's jewelry.

An Huaiyi slept for a while, his mental state was obviously much better, and the Ningchan City where he was now was also the place where he showed his strengths, so when he heard Zhang Zhiwen suddenly mention this topic, the old man's face could be described as radiant and full of confidence. When enjoying the sycophants of the younger generations, the old man also wanted to show off, so he said: "As we all know, in the entire jewelry business industry, in addition to the common gold, silver and diamonds, jade is also one of the very important business items! Of course, whether it is gold, silver, diamond, or jade and jade, they all have their own markets and customer groups, I don't need to go into detail about this, today I only talk about jade and jade." ”

"There are two kinds of real jade: soft and hard, and what we usually call jade mostly refers to nephrite, while jadeite has another very popular name - jadeite. And like the handicap we are going to see tomorrow, it is basically some jadeite ore that has just been dug out of the ore vein and has not been solved, so no one knows whether there is jadeite in those raw ores. ”

"The purchase and sale of jadeite rough is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry industry, and her mystery is mainly in this word "gambling", so the buyer has the saying of "gambling jade" and "gambling stone". In addition, the formation of jade veins is an extremely long process, so there is often a layer of stone crust wrapped on its surface, due to oxidation, this layer of stone crust cortex has already become brown-red, brown-black or other variegated colors, generally only from the appearance, it is difficult to see its true face of Lushan at a glance. Even today, when science and technology are highly developed and civilized, no instrument can quickly determine whether it is wrapped in treasure jade or ruin through this layer of stone shell. ”

"Moreover, even if you have advanced instruments and equipment, but people don't allow you to gamble on jade with instruments at all. In view of this, buyers usually look for some skilled people who often play with stones, have a certain experience and vision, to help analyze and judge the quality of the raw ore. Therefore, there is a saying in the market that 'a knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife wears sackcloth', after all, there are too many elements of luck in such a thing as gambling stones. ”

Speaking of this, An Huaiyi nodded at Yu Zehai, who was quietly seated opposite, and said with a smile: "Speaking of gambling jade, I have also traveled south and north over the years, but if you really see the jade gambling masters, you have to count the little brother." It's a shame to say it, compared with Brother Yu, the old man and I are willing to bow down, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

"Uh......"

Yu Zehai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "An Lao, you are really too modest! Speaking of which, I am not afraid of everyone's jokes, boy, I don't know what jade jade is at all, let alone what raw stone wool is." As I said to the fat man before, I just use my intuition to roughly judge whether the wool is spiritual or not, and that's it. Therefore, the method of selecting rough wool like the boy I have a lot of speculation and uncertainty, if it is strictly speaking, it is purely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, just a coincidence. ”

After a slight pause, Yu Zehai continued: "Moreover, I am not sure what this 'spirituality' is going on at present, maybe there is really jadeite in the raw materials, or maybe there are some things sealed in the wool, such as some special objects, animal feces, animal and plant fossils, etc...... I need some spiritual jade, and this time I'm just trying my luck, so you can just treat me as a passerby who plays soy sauce!"

Early the next morning, when Yu Zehai and his entourage arrived at the gate of the informal public market, there were already many people queuing up, waiting to enter. Of course, what can usually be opened is basically the high-quality wool that has just been shipped from the mine, unlike the substandard goods that have been picked n times in the small shantytowns outside.

During the time of queuing, Liu Ziang greeted some merchants from time to time. Moreover, Yu Zehai found that the vast majority of the team were yellow-skinned, black-haired, Mandarin-speaking Chinese businessmen. It seems that Chinese people have always had a preference for picking up leaks and taking advantage of small advantages, and this high-quality wool that has just been opened does have a higher chance of winning the lottery.

When Yu Zehai walked into the door, he couldn't help but be stunned at a glance. If these stones are exchanged for other items, Yu Zehai will not be unfamiliar at all. Such a scene, such a grand occasion, he has seen a lot in his previous life!

"Uh......"

As soon as he entered the door, An Huaiyi couldn't help but hold his forehead with one hand and muttered to himself: "Today is really an evil door, usually there are not so many people in those official public markets, how can so many businessmen emerge in this unofficial dark market? You know, every entry qualification is 100 million......

Liu Ziang next to him was also full of confusion, but he quickly calmed down and said: "The entire venue is divided into an auction area and a retail area. Let's go to the auction area first!"

There was no objection to this proposal, so they squeezed towards the auction area together.

Yu Zehai noticed that in both the auction area and the retail area, there was a small sign on all the wool with a price tag and a brief introduction. However, the list price in the retail area is a fixed price, while the wool in the auction area only provides a minimum starting price.

"Retail areas are usually all scraps, or wool that isn't favored. While walking forward, Liu Ziang explained: "As long as the wool in the retail area is matched, you can pay with one hand and take the goods with the other." As for the wool in the auction area, it will be auctioned, and the highest bidder will be auctioned every half hour, and the wool inside is usually updated once a day. We need to go to the auction area to pick up the wool, record the wool number in the photo, and then just sit back and wait for the auction, as for the rest of the time, we can also go to the retail area to play the autumn breeze!"

Speaking of this, Liu Ziang glanced at Yu Zehai beside him and said: "Xiaoyu, don't blame you Uncle Liu for talking too much, because we share an admission qualification, so whoever fancies the wool must record the number in the workbook to facilitate reconciliation after winning the bid." If the numbers are the same, try to negotiate a reasonable price range privately to avoid ripping after winning the bid. ”

Among the five peers, Yu Zehai also has the intention of buying jade ore alone, so Liu Ziang is not wrong to say this. Ugly words ahead, this is the right way to do things!

"No problem!" Yu Zehai nodded and said with a smile: "I'll hand over the selected list to Uncle Liu in a while, if I can take it down, I'll transfer the money to you later." Of course, the wool I needed was relatively special, and maybe the whole venue was lucky enough to find it, or maybe I didn't even have a piece. ”

Without waiting for Liu Ziang to continue speaking, Zhang Zhiwen next to him waved his hand and said, "Uncle Liu, you can accompany An Lao to see the wool, I will accompany the boss to take a walk around to see the excitement, and I will go to you again when it is almost over." When he saw that the auction area was close in front of him, the fat man hurriedly said.

"Uh......"

Liu Ziang glanced at the fat man, and nodded to Du Zhongming, who was still silent behind him, and then said: "Okay, I'll follow An Lao to take a look at the material, Xiao Yu Xiaozhang, you make your own arrangements, let's meet again in a while!"

Before Liu Ziang and An Huaiyi left, the fat man grabbed Yu Zehai's hand and said, "Boss, let's go and sweep the goods! Listen to Uncle Liu's meaning, this is the high-quality wool updated today, we can't make all the good things cheaper for others!"
