Ning Zhiruo was discharged from the hospital after recuperating in the hospital for a week and being able to move freely.

Qin Fenzhong went to the hospital to see Ning Zhiruo once, but he didn't talk about anything, looking a little embarrassed.

Ning Zhiruo is not only Qin Fen's senior sister, but also his boss, of course, this boss is a former one, Qin Fen went through the resignation procedures by the way when he went to visit Ning Zhiruo.

In the next month, Qin Fen did not find any clues about the Pisces jade pendant and disappeared, and the police did not seem to have any clue about this case.

Pingzhou, located in the city of GZ, is a famous jade selling place in the southern district of China. Among them, the Pingzhou Gambling Stone Festival is the most famous in Huaxia.

Gambling stones, formerly known as blocking lines, are the use of jade and jade for gambling.

Because the jadeite rough is wrapped in a layer of weathered stone skin, no one knows the quality of the rough, so it needs to be cut to know the quality of the jadeite.

Compared with stocks, futures and real estate and other risky transactions, gambling stones are more exciting.

A piece of stone that costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, if you cut it with one knife, you can get nothing. And a piece of stone of hundreds, less than a thousand yuan, may also cut out millions of jadeite jade.

Among the gambling stones, there is a saying that one knife is poor, two knives are rich, and three knives are draped in linen. Some people get rich overnight because of gambling stones, and some people go bankrupt overnight because of gambling stones, which is the risk of gambling stones, and of course the charm of gambling stones.

In addition to experience and skill, in many cases, gambling stones can be gambled, and luck is also crucial.

At this time of year, a month-long gambling stone festival is held here in Pingzhou, GZ City.

The gambling stone festival is divided into five areas of ABCDE, and the jadeite rough in area A has the highest price. In more than one million, the price of some jadeite rough stones is even as high as tens of millions.

The price of jadeite rough in area B is between 100,000 and 100,000 yuan, and the price of stone in area C is between 10,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan.

The prices in the D and E areas are relatively correct, and the stones in the D area are generally between 1,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, and hundreds of pieces in the E area can be bought.

Areas D and E are the most densely populated, as the price of stones in these two areas is relatively low. Most people with insufficient funds, or newbies, choose to try their luck in these two areas.

Qin Fen's funds are not very sufficient, only tens of thousands of yuan, which is already all his savings.

If it had been in the past, Qin Fen would never have come to the Gambling Stone Festival with an urgent need of tens of thousands of yuan. Novices come to play gambling stones, if there is no one to guide them, tens of thousands of dollars will be lost in a few clicks, and they are basically gambled.

It's different now, Qin Fen came to Pingzhou to gamble on the stone festival, in addition to wanting to see if he could find clues about Pisces jade pendant, he still had to come to the small and big.

Qin Fen went to Area E first, where the price of stones was the lowest, and you could buy one for a few hundred yuan. But Qin Fen passed by a few stalls, glanced at it with his perspective eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

In Area E, there are very few decent sales counters, and most of them are stalls, that is, some people take the stones they have transported and place them directly on the ground for people to choose to buy.

These stalls are suitable for newcomers to practice, and connoisseurs or experienced gambling stone masters will hardly stop in front of the stalls.

Since it is said to be a stall, the stones placed here are basically scraps, and they are cut with one knife, except for the stone skin, there is nothing.

Even if it can be green, it is not worth a few dollars.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Area E isn't attractive.

After Qin Fen walked around a few stalls, he saw an old man buy a stone for less than 1,000 yuan, and when he cut it, he saw that it was an old pit ice glutinous jade worth tens of thousands of yuan.

This old man is probably also a veteran, and he belongs to the kind of person who can't afford to be profitable early, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits. After a few turns in the E area, he chose a stone, and before making a move, he cut the stall owner at a fixed price.

"Uncle, you're too ruthless, since you've already determined that you can bet up, why bother to suppress my price. The stall owner saw the old man smiling from ear to ear, his face was full of smug and happy smiles, and his face was painful.

"Your stone is just like this. But I'm not completely sure, eight hundred dollars, even if the gamble fails, it doesn't matter. The old man said modestly, but when the people around him heard it, they were already admiring and envious.

Being able to pick out a stone from the stall and make dozens of times more money is already very remarkable.

Except for this old man, the other people who bought stones in Area E basically gambled. They took the stones they bought, went to the stone cutter next to them, and their expressions changed from excitement and anticipation to disappointment and distress.

After visiting a few more stalls in Area E, Qin Fen walked to Area D.

In Area D, there are basically no stalls, and most sellers have their own stalls.

Area D is more mixed than Area E. Area E is a stall, and there are basically no good stones, which everyone knows.

There are basically no fakes in area E, because jadeite raw materials also need to be counterfeited. The stones in area E are originally a few hundred dollars, and the fake stones are placed in area E, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But the D area is different, after Qin Fen has seen through dozens of stones, he has already found a few fake stones.

Like the antique shop, in the jadeite and jade industry, there are also people who cheat the jadeite rough in unexpected ways in order to make huge profits.

There are generally four common methods of counterfeiting rough stones, the first is to steal beams and replace columns, that is, to cut off the poor texture of the jade and transplant the jade with the cut size adjacent to the cut size, excellent texture, and delicious color, and use the good quality of the part to protect the bad quality of the whole.

The second is the splicing method, which is to untie a gambling stone with a good appearance, which is not ideal, but then join it together to restore its original appearance.

The stone obtained by this method is not difficult to judge, you only need to pay attention to the sand at the interface of this fake gambling stone, which is generally tighter and finer than other places, and it is not a particle to know.

But if you come across a rusty shell, even an experienced expert may not be able to judge it.

The third kind is the fairy scattered flowers, this specific master will go, first choose a piece of good, but no pine flower display on the original stone, choose a good direction, sprinkle glue on it, and then the grinding jade powder is sprinkled on the surface, after repairing and buried in the soil for dozens of days, take it out on the surface of the original stone, it is covered with pine patterns.

The fourth and most clumsy technique is to mix up the beads. This is to select a good part of the jadeite rough, dig a small groove, and then put green glass or green toothbrush handle, or even green toothpaste, and then carefully trim it to mix the beads.

However, this method can only deceive newcomers who have just entered the industry, and for these people who have been in the circle for decades, they can see through it at a glance.

Qin Fen was in a shop, using perspective, and found a stone the size of a watermelon, and there were two ice jadeites the size of billiard balls in it, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This stone is actually forged by splicing. The stone, which was originally the size of a watermelon, was cut in half in half and then combined.

It's just that the two billiard-sized ice jadeites happened to be distributed on both sides of the stone, and they were not found when the stone was cut.

The stone is priced at three thousand, and two of the ice jadeites are estimated to be worth more than one hundred thousand.

"Boss, I want this stone. After Qin Fen saw it, he directly bought the stone.

The boss saw that Qin Fen, the wronged boss, had paid for the stone, and smiled and saw his teeth.

The sand at the interface of this stone is finer than the rest of the place, and it is not particles, and people with a little experience can judge that this is a fake stone when they look at it.

In the eyes of the boss, Qin Fen is a complete novice.

This kind of novice, the boss can't wait to shout and give me another dozen.

A middle-aged man next to him saw Qin Fen buying this stone, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and said to Qin Fen: "Young man, bet on stones for the first time." ”

"That's right. I hope I can bet on it. Qin Fen understood what the middle-aged man meant, but he just smiled, picked up the stone, and walked directly to the stone cutter on the side of the store.
