Chapter 65 Jade Fair
Coming to the entrance, Zhao Xuande showed the invitation card, and the three of them entered the building left by the British colony, which was renovated in the later period, but still retained the style of the time, and the gorgeous rococo and baroque patterns gave people a kind of royal visual experience. The three of them walked inside, looking at the soldiers with guns on their backs every few minutes away, and we were the most inconspicuously dressed. They wore suits and ties, or thick and long gold chains, sunglasses, and cigars on their backs.
The city is full of fine displays, one by one placed in the glass cover, although there is a glass barrier, but it still can't hinder the absorption of money greed.
Judging from the coarseness of the aura pillar absorbed by the money, it is indeed much better than the jade jade on the periphery. Qian Qian's cute expression was like a human taking drugs, and he had absorbed the aura of more than ten pieces of jade in a short period of time. It was as if scales were beginning to grow on his body.
It absorbed the aura in front, and Zhao Xuande was explaining the quality and types of jade to me and Zhang Lei: "Look, this piece is from Hpakant Laokeng, and it can be seen from the cross-section that this has reached such a big price of ice jade, and the seven million on the sign is also the market price." But our family can only enter a small part of this kind of cutting, mainly into some open window wool to go back to solve. ”
"Shout, isn't this the second young master of the Zhao family? Remember me? I lost two million to me last time I bet, can I pay it back this year?" A middle-aged man came to us with a big belly, with a moxican hairstyle, a gold earring on his left ear, and a shiny fat face.
"Brother Guo, here. Look at what you said, last time the little brother was clumsy, the gambling stone technology of Brother Guo is like a surging river, endless worship, this year's trade fair as long as the little brother to solve a good stone with interest to return to you, this year's little brother luck is good. Zhao Xuande seems to have a little friendship with this Guo fat man.
This Guo fat man squinted at Li Hongyi and Zhang Lei, and when his eyes fell on Zhang Lei, he looked up and down, and Li Hongyi blocked Zhang Lei when he saw this.
Guo Fatzi also knew that he couldn't make trouble here, or he would not be kicked out of the trade fair, and he would never be allowed to participate in the future: "We'll see you in the wool area that afternoon." After speaking, he waved his big hand and walked forward with the two sunglasses bodyguards behind him.
Zhao Xuande introduced: "This fat man's surname is Guo, and his family runs a large chain jewelry store, which is also among the top five in China, and his financial power is quite awesome. ”
"Is he still a descendant of the leader?" Li Hongyi pointed to the back of the fat man leaving, a little incredible.
"It was, but now it's not, his grandfather has abdicated. Zhao Xuande said as he admired the jade and walked forward.
"What about the two million?"
"Well, last year, I came to the trade fair to bet with this fat man, lost, and didn't have so much money on my body, so I said that I would give it this year, the kind with interest, and I didn't dare to tell my family about it, I don't want to be lucky enough to meet a good stone this year. ”
"Why are you still gambling?" asked Li Hongyi.
Zhao Xuande explained to him: "The hall in front is all stones dug out of the mine, some are pure gambling materials without opening windows, the price is cheap but the gambling is very high, and there are those who open the windows can look at the jade inside but don't know how much, and there are like the ones on display here must be the best but the price is very high." So most of them want to gamble to try their luck, in case they gamble on a piece of excellent ingredients, it is millions of income, which is very enjoyable. As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
Li Hongyi looked at Qian Qian's drunken appearance and smiled mysteriously: "Then I will also gamble." ”
Soon it was noon, in the boutique display in the morning, the eyes were all millions, although Zhao Xuande could also buy one or two yuan to go back to pay the difference, but he didn't do it, he wanted to gamble first to see his luck, in case he won it, even Guo Fatzi's money was returned, and there was more money to buy.
The castle prepared a buffet banquet for the guests, which was very rich. Lobsters, hairy crabs, and Burmese fried insects. Qian Qian absorbed a lot of aura in the morning, and took a nap again, and the scales on his body became more and more obvious.
The three of us also ate hyce, and we tasted all the delicious food we had never eaten, so much so that we didn't even want to sit.
After lunch, the three of us went to the wool section, which did not have the luxury of the outer exhibition hall, but a divided area on the ground, with piles of stones with chalk writing on them. There are obviously many people in the outer exhibition hall here, and it seems that they all want to make some money and gamble on luck. There were more or less squatting people in front of each pile of stones, some of them holding flashlights and turning over and over the stones, and they didn't know what they were looking for.
Zhao Xuande took us to a pile of stones, squatted down and looked at the sign that said "old pit material", but only the seller knew whether it was true or not, because these three words represented that it was more expensive than others.
Li Hongyi looked at the copper coin on his chest and found that the money didn't come out? Could it be that there are no good goods in this pile? It was a snack product, and it came out after smelling the aura. Li Hongyi couldn't understand these stones, so he could only listen to Zhao Xuande's introduction: "Look, this side is leaking green, look at this texture extends to the back at least half of the flesh." Look at the A20 written on it, "This means that this is the price of 200,000 yuan for material A." ”
Li Hongyi nodded and knew that it was so different, but the money did not come out, proving that the stall was full of aura.
Then patted Zhao Xuande: "You pick slowly, Zhang Lei and I will also go shopping casually." After speaking, he took Zhang Lei's hand and walked to other stalls to see which stall the money could come from.
After walking past three or four stalls, Qian Qian flew out of his own way, and sucked in an old man's stall looking at the blackened stones, and the roughness of the air flow was also quite rough. When Qian Qian had finished sucking this stone, he climbed on another and sucked it up, and in this way, a pile of palm-sized stones the size of black stones by the river was sucked all over again, and there were twelve in all. Li Hongyi squatted down and saw that there were no chalk words on these stones as Zhao Xuande said, so he asked the old man, "Hello." ”
As soon as the old man heard that it was Mandarin, he became enthusiastic, because the Chinese people were the main force of the fair, and the price given was also appropriate, "Hello, boss, I will give you a quotation for which one you like." ”
As soon as Li Hongyi heard that the old man could speak Mandarin, he also pointed: "How much money is this?" When the old man saw that he chose a small stone pile, his enthusiasm was reduced by half, because the most worthless thing was that kind of stone, and in their eyes, those were bought back and placed in the fish tank or made a landscape and put a dry branch as a decoration.
"That pile of a thousand dollars, the price of the package. "The old man offered the price. Zhang Lei remembered that when she was in the peripheral market, Zhao Xuande's invincible bargaining skills began to be what women are best at, and finally the transaction price of the pile of stones was 100 yuan. Li Hongyi thought that he had made a lot of money today, so he paid the money and left. I only chose two pieces to put in my pocket and take them away, and the goods sold at each stall are delivered to the place, usually the goods of several companies are put together in a car and sent to the location designated by the buyer. I'm afraid that the twelve stones I bought just now minus the shipping costs, and the old man will really earn a hard fee.
Zhang Lei knew that since Li Hongyi bought these stones, there must be a reason for him to ask: "Did you pick up the treasure?"
"It has to be dropped, wait until I go back and cut it open. Li Hongyi walked excitedly to see if he could still pick up the leak?
At this time, Zhao Xuande also rushed up: "What did you kid buy just now?" Li Hongyi took out a black palm-sized stone from his pocket, Zhao Xuande took it in his hand and turned it over and looked at it for a long time: "How much money to buy?"
Zhang Lei said: "One hundred yuan bought twelve yuan. ”
"Well, it's good to be happy, it's good to be happy. Zhao Xuande returned the stone to Li Hongyi and walked forward together, and saw a group of people surrounding in front of him, "What is that for?" Zhang Lei asked curiously, "There is a stone solution over there, it seems that there is a stone to solve on the spot, and there is a benefit to the on-site solution. ”
The three of them also squeezed into the crowd and saw a bespectacled Mediterranean hairstylist drawing lines with black markers on a stone the size of a folded quilt, and handed it to the worker standing in front of the cutting machine, who adjusted the direction of the saw gear, started the machine, and a screeching sound was heard.
The man who bought the stone nervously looked at the color of the stone behind the jagged, and after the knife went down, the worker took water and washed the cross-section, and there was a pale green. Someone in the crowd shouted, "It's up!"
The crowd began to crowd, and one of the uncles said, "I still don't understand? ”
The owner of the stone pushed his glasses and sneered: "I spent 300,000 yuan to buy the stone, and I won't sell it if I don't sell it for 3 million, so I can take out a statue of a Bodhisattva with such a big material." ”
"One more solution, if it is still green, I will take three million. ”
"Another slash? That's five million. ”
The man with glasses studied the jade that was cut in half again, and then began to draw the line again, this time it was the larger half, the man with glasses was also very cautious, holding a spotlight in his hand to analyze the lines little by little, and finally drew the line after a pillar of incense, and said to the worker: "Knife again." At this time, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone present was an expert, except for Li Hongyi and Zhang Lei, who came to see the excitement for the first time, they all held their breath and watched the cutter aim at the black line.
If this knife is green again, the price will double again, and the jade wool that this glasses man spent 300,000 yuan to buy will become 6 million. This business is simply a windfall of profits.
Li Hongyi was thinking about whether the stone that had money to absorb spiritual energy was better than this 6 million grade? This is a good way to make a fortune, not to mention that he still has the magic weapon of money, so he is basically sure to make a profit and not lose money.
The cutting saw sounded again, and all eyes were on the stone.
