Chapter 371: Gambling Stone Market
Gambling stone is a special jadeite trading activity, and the outside is wrapped in a weathered skin similar to a stone, which is jadeite. As for the price, it depends on the variety and condition of the jadeite.
It's just that in the gambling stone industry, there are a lot of people who get rich overnight, and of course, there are those who go bankrupt overnight. Gambling stones are to see if you are bold or not, and whether you are experienced or not. It is not uncommon for experienced people to get rich overnight.
After listening to Shen Siyan's explanation, Lin Shuyan nodded slightly, and became interested in her heart. There was an entrance fee to enter the room, so there were only a few people who went in.
"The second auction, with a diameter of 30 centimeters and a weight of 4 catties and 7 taels, was offered for the first time, 300,000 yuan. The cheongsam beauties on the stage have begun to bid prices, but the response is mediocre.
That stone is the most inconspicuous of all the stones, although it is not necessarily inconspicuous and not good, but this stone does not even have a texture that can be cut, and even if it is cut, it is worthless.
But Lin Shuyan on the side was anxious, and asked Shen Siyan why no one bought it, such a big piece of 300,000 is not expensive. Hearing this, Bodyguard Li couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Cutting a stone requires observing the formation of the stone, and every knife is meticulous. Shen Siyan pointed to a stone on the stage and explained these problems to her.
Jadeite is the most valuable thing, and the stone does not distinguish the texture, so there is no way to judge the appearance of jadeite. If one of his subordinates is wrong, a whole piece of jadeite will become waste.
Hearing this, Lin Shuyan nodded, probably understanding a little. The cheongsam woman on the stage seemed to be accustomed to the scene of unsuccessful shooting, and she didn't feel embarrassed, so she directly took out the next stone.
"The third auction, with a diameter of 17.5 centimeters and a weight of 1 catty, 927 cents, was offered for the first time, 300,000 yuan. The crisp voice echoed through the hall, and this time there were many people rushing to bid.
If you look closely, the stone has some dark lines, which are not very obvious, and only experienced veterans can see clearly. The auction price was higher than one another, and finally stopped at the 800,000 yuan that Shen Siyan said.
The price rose by 300,000 all of a sudden, and those people looked back at the high platform behind them. But the lights are bright, but nothing can be seen.
Seeing this, Lin Shuyan was a little stunned, she couldn't see anything, this stone
Even if there is a jadeite rough in the head, how can it be worth 800,000.
However, Shen Siyan didn't say anything now, and asked Li's bodyguard to collect the jade rough stone, and took Lin Shuyan to walk inside again. In addition to the auctions, there are many small stalls here, and there are also the kind of direct shops that open stones on the spot and sell them on the spot.
The two stopped in front of the stall with the most family, and Lin Shuyan herself went up to join in the fun and picked two stones.
"How about this?" Lin Shuyan held a small stone in her hand, and basically no one looked at it. When she asked Shen Siyan, Shen Siyan only paid directly.
One hundred dollars, the people around saw that these two people had bought a stone, and they laughed. But Lin Shuyan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and picked two more pieces along with her eyes.
The three stones cost a total of six hundred, because they were almost all stones that no one wanted. After Lin Shuyan finished picking, Shen Siyan also picked two stones by himself. It seemed to be a random choice, but in fact, he had long been optimistic about the valuation of those stones.
Actually, Shen Siyan still didn't tell Lin Shuyan about it. If you buy a piece of rough jadeite, cut it, and make a good cut, you can sell it at a higher price than the purchase price.
In the same way, if you don't make good materials, you can also sell them to others. Of course, if the man extracts another piece of fine material from this stone, it has nothing to do with you.
This is the so-called one knife poor, one knife rich.
"Then let's just go for it. Lin Shuyan took out the smallest stone first and handed it to Shen Siyan. Seeing this, the people on the side laughed even more, and some people even said that the two of them were young, maybe they were here to travel, and they were stupid and had a lot of money.
But the two of them didn't bother to pay attention, Lin Shuyan was full of heart on the small stone, to see if there would be any surprises. When the people around saw the movement here, they became more and more crowded, and the stall owner felt that these two young people were his mascots.
The stone was too small to cut, so he carefully began to polish it around the edge of the stone, and everyone watched the movement.
"Eh, Si Yan, it's transparent inside. Lin Shuyan was the closest, and she could see it most clearly, the water rushed through, and there was a faint luster in the stone.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, this stone is not big, a hundred yuan, even if it is the most inferior material, it is absolute
More than that. Everyone regretted not having such luck and could only look forward to seeing what was inside.
Seeing this, Shen Siyan also felt strange, he only bought these pieces to make Lin Shuyan happy, but he didn't expect that the price of this piece would be returned. It's not that I care about these hundreds of dollars, but I think that the surprise is greater than the expectation.
When all the polishing is over, the material reveals its true face little by little. It was a rough jade close to a sphere, the size of a man's fist. Such wool, let alone tens of thousands, if it is really made into carved handicrafts, the price is immeasurable.
"Girl, I will pay 10,000 yuan for this stone, buy it, do you want to give it to me?" Seeing such material, a person dressed as a businessman next to him stood up directly with 10,000 yuan in cash and wanted to buy this piece of wool.
But Lin Shuyan and Shen Siyan are not the ones who lack 10,000 people, the point is that the two of them are happy. The two of them didn't want to pay attention, but another tall man next to them spoke, reprimanding the merchant for being a profiteer.
"This material is 10,000 yuan, you are afraid that it will be robbed, I will pay 50,000 yuan, girl, you transfer it to me. The man's words caused a wave of discontent among the people. But Lin Shuyan and Shen Siyan were not affected at all, and directly opened the remaining four stones.
Seeing this, the people around them held their breath again to see what the remaining few stones looked like.
The remaining stones are larger and can be used for cutting. This time it was the stone selected by Shen Siyan, and the first knife cut it, and everyone sighed, this is an ordinary stone.
Waiting for the second knife to cut down, everyone's faces changed again. The color of the jadeite is close to transparent, and it is a good ice jadeite wool, which is very valuable.
The stall owner of the third knife didn't dare to start, and looked at Shen Siyan hesitantly. And the people next to him were even more crazy, and they all paid high prices to buy this stone. According to the market estimate, this stone is less than a million, not counting the cost of carving.
"Little brother, you should take this stone back quickly, find someone to polish it, and don't change hands casually. An old man next to them told them not to sell it to anyone. This made Lin Shuyan a little moved.
But it's really useless for them to ask for this, Lin Shuyan said softly: "Uncle, thank you, the two of us are just Tu Yile, not for money, if you have a favorite of this stone, just accept it." 2k reading network
