"The so-called gambling stone in the ring, also known as the offensive and defensive gambling stone, is also a kind of gambling stone, in fact, it is a means of promotion and publicity of merchants selling stones. But in recent years, it has become very popular, and the wealthy people like it the most.

To put it simply, it is a merchant who sells stones, and places ten pieces of rough stone wool in the ring every day, which is called a guard stone, of which five are half gambled, and five are all gambled.

Visitors are then allowed to come to their shop to buy stones, and those who buy stones are welcome to take the stones of their own choosing, called the Tapping Stones.

The person who buys the stone kicks the ring, chooses any piece of guarding stone, cuts it on the spot for PK, and estimates the value of the jadeite inside after cutting.

If the value of the jadeite cut by the defending stone is greater than that of the attacking stone, the merchant will successfully defend the stone, and the attacking stone will be used as a bet to pay the merchant;

If the value of the jadeite cut by the guard stone is less than that of the attack stone, the merchant will fail to defend the stone, and the guard stone will be used as a bet to pay to the buyer.

This is the ring betting stones, and the rules are simple. ”

Luffy finished speaking and took a sip of tea.

"Obediently, the merchant really knows how to play, this kind of promotion method is really chic. If I guessed correctly, the merchant won more and lost less, and at the same time, the cost of cutting the stone, the merchant will definitely not bear it, right?"

In Qian Duoduo's words, he saw the root of the problem.

Although buying and selling, buying and selling, but generally speaking, since ancient times, there is no fine business that has been bought and not sold, and no one will do it if it loses money!

"Brother Qian is right, generally merchants win more and lose less, but there are still many people who rush to attack the stage;

The masters who cut the stone are all masters hired from Lotus Town, and the skills are very skilled, and the cost is naturally not low. ”

Luffy explained further.

"Since the merchants win more and lose less, why are so many people willing to participate?" Qian Xin, who had not spoken, couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

"Hehe, this is actually not difficult to understand. It's people's greed, and there's the psychology of just in case. To put it bluntly, it's still a gambling word.

Moreover, many of the people involved are really rich people, and the last thing they care about is money, but a different sense of freshness and excitement.

There are also many participants who are interested in pleasing their important customers, which is a new type of entertainment, like playing golf. ”

Luffy elaborated on his understanding of gambling stones in the ring.

"I see, it should be very interesting. Brother Luffy, let's leave the phone, if you need to call directly, let's go over and shop first. ”

Qian Duoduo has always been a master who likes to join in the fun, as soon as he heard that there was a lively scene, he immediately couldn't resist the yearning in his heart, and wanted to go to see it immediately.

"Hehe, Brother Qian, don't worry, what I just introduced to you is a gambling stone in the ring, in fact, there is a form of gambling stone now, which is simpler and rude, but it doesn't seem to be very popular. ”

Luffy is a jack of all trades.,After all, he's a local stone merchant.,I think I'm familiar with the business in the circle.。。

"There is also a simple and crude way to gamble on stones, how to gamble?" Qian Duoduo's interest was immediately attracted.

Han Fei and Qian Xin also listened attentively, because they were also very interested.

"Those who wish to take the bait and gamble on the stone. Luffy said without moving.

"What is the gambling method for those who wish to take the bait to gamble on stones? Is it just like selling stones like you, you have the final say on the price, and as soon as the price is exported, the buyer will buy it if he thinks it is suitable, and if he thinks it is not suitable, he will not buy it?"

Han Fei expressed his understanding of the fixed price gambling stone.

"What Brother Han Fei said is basically right.

During the promotional period, the merchant picks out ten pieces of rough wool every day, five full bets, five half bets, clearly marked the price, refuses to counter-offer, after the buyer identifies, feels that it is worth it, and buys it according to the price, and does not buy it if it is not worth it.

In this way of gambling stones, the price of merchants has always been very high, not seeking to buy and sell, but only to bring gimmicks to publicity. ”

After Luffy finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea in the cup.

"Oh, isn't there really anyone who has bought it?" asked Qian Duoduo curiously.

"Yes, as long as someone sells, someone buys it, but very few ask for a stone to be opened on the spot. Because there are too many uncontrollable factors, this way of gambling on stones has not been popular. ”

"Brother Luffy, where is the gambling stone in the ring today?" Qian Duoduo couldn't help but ask, he liked to join in the fun too much.

"You are very coincidental, starting from today, in the next five days, Wenxinglou, there will be a ring gambling stone activity every day, which is jointly organized by dozens of large businesses, this year is a big year, and the event will be very grand. ”

Luffy didn't seem interested in such an event and said calmly.

"Okay, let's go to Wenxing Tower right away, Brother Luffy, meet ......" Qian Duoduo can't wait.

But at Luffy's insistence, Qian Duoduo and Qian Xin randomly selected a piece of rough stone wool, the kind that gambled all, Han Fei chose the stone that was absorbed by the fate list, and Luffy promised to help them pack it and send it to the hotel.

The two sides parted, but they did not expect that in the near future, they would reunite in M City.

……

Along the way, Qian Duoduo and Han Fei searched Wenxinglou with their mobile phones, browsed it roughly, and finally had some understanding.

Wenxing Building, also known as Kuixing Building, was proposed by Huang Bingkun, the prefect of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty in the 21st year (1895), built in the center of the cross street in the city, and the building is 20 meters high. The lower layer is a stone masonry cube, the seat is 16 meters high, and four doors are set up according to the direction. There was a huge bell hanging in the building, and then it was afraid that the building would fall down.

It was burned out by the Japanese invading army in 1940 and restored in 1941. The giant bell that was removed back then also returned to the upper floor and became the treasure of the town tower.

Speaking of Wenxinglou, there is such a story in Tengchong, Sichuan people and Tengchong people are together, Sichuan people say: "There is an Emei Mountain in Sichuan, and the isolation of the sky is three feet three." Sit on the top of the mountain and reach out to touch the sky. “

Tengchong people will say: "Tengchong has a Wenxing Tower, stretching into the sky half of the head, upstairs said that the sky is sunny, and the foot of the building listens to the roar of the rain." “

The current Wenxing Building is mainly composed of Wenxing Building, Archway, Tengchong Ancient North City Building, Wenxing Garden Square and 99 antique commercial and residential houses.

The three of them walked for about twenty minutes, and finally saw the shadow of Wen Xinglou from a distance, and their hearts were full of excitement.

It is difficult to speed up the pace, because there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, and the entire pedestrian street is almost full of people.

This situation reminded Han Fei of the most prosperous pedestrian street in M City, the scene of overcrowding, especially on holidays.

It seems that everyone is full of enthusiasm for gambling stones. In fact, the current Wenxing Building, mainly for tourism, gambling stone is a part of the tourism and cultural industry, which can attract more Chinese and foreign tourists.

Follow the flow of people, move forward slowly, look around, antique commercial and residential dual-purpose houses on both sides of the road, commercial facades, most of them are placed with all kinds of jade jade pendants, raw stone wool, etc., dazzling, colorful, buyers in an endless stream.

Not far in front, is Wenxing Garden Square, a magnificent big arena, standing impressively in the center of the square, unobstructed on three sides, one side is covered with red silk, and many booths of the same size are neatly placed next to it, and a stone is placed on each booth.

In the sky above the ring, a red banner danced in the wind, writing: Welcome to the Tengchong Wenxinglou Ring Gambling Stone Festival.

There are not many people in the ring, except for the relevant staff, it seems that only the cutting master and the sturdy security guard are the most conspicuous.

Observing carefully, I found that as Luffy said, there are two ways to gamble on stones in the ring, each accounting for the general ring.

It's just that the willing person takes the bait and gambles on the stone, only occupying a corner of the ring, attacking and defending the gambling stone, occupying most of the space of the entire ring.

At the back of the ring, there is a large open space, and there are two long rows of half-person high booths or exhibition racks in the open space, which are neatly arranged.

Whether it is the booth or the exhibition shelf, there are full of original wool, most of them are full gambling wool, or half-gambling wool, semi-finished jade jade, finished jade jadeite There are some, but not much.

Although the time is close to noon, there are still many people coming and going, most of them are in twos and threes, walking and stopping, casually expressing their views or opinions on the stone.

"Brother Qian, it looks like we're late today, and the staff are resting, I wonder if it will continue in the afternoon?"

"I don't know, let's take a look first, there should be in the afternoon. Han Fei, my friend has arrived, you go shopping here first, I'll go with Qian Xin to greet you, and then we'll have lunch together. ”

After Qian Duoduo answered the phone, he said to Han Fei.

Han Fei originally wanted to say let's go together, but found that Qian Duoduo smiled mysteriously at him, and didn't insist, waved his hand, let them go, and prepared to wander around and kill time.
