"Well, then I'll be disrespectful, in that case, I'll pay for the gambling costs of Brother Moyang and others. ”

After Liu Qing finished speaking, the big black face was full of smiles, like a black peony, that smile was invincible.

Li Moyang rubbed his nose, this guy is also a top person, smart, at least no one can match in terms of sycophancy, so Li Moyang smiled: "Then thank you Mr. Liu, I don't understand anything, it's just just a random stone to play with." ”

"Wood problem, whatever you choose. Liu Qing's smile became even stronger, Li Moyang is a good guy, and he is very good at following the meaning.

Du Baogang continued: "Mr. Liu, what else do you need us to do?

Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "There is indeed a strong enemy, my Yanghua Gambling Stone Auction House has just arrived, and I have offended Tengchong's largest gambling stone shop, called Jinshan Gambling Stone Shop, before I came, Jinshan Gambling Stone Shop was the boss of Tengchong, and his boss Wu Guo was still the president of Tengchong Gambling Stone Guild. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, the newcomer will definitely be bullied, and you must survive this hurdle, which is why I invited you to come to the town. ”

"Hehe, okay, this time I helped, huā money is not a problem. But you should also be prepared for the source of your ore, don't overdo it, otherwise, it will be ridiculous and generous. Du Baogang reminded.

"Please rest assured, I never fight unprepared battles, this time I got the old pit ore from Myanmar, and invited an experienced master, checked in advance, the probability of jadeite is absolutely high. Liu Qing swore an oath.

"That's good. ”

Land Rover and his entourage galloped, after two hours came to Tengchong, the street is full of gambling stone fields, the streets are full of all kinds of people, different stones are placed everywhere, the streets are prosperous, this is the Tengchong gambling stone area.

The first Land Rover, turned the corner into a cold gambling stone field, and hung a few big words on the door: Yanghua Gambling Stone Line. Li Moyang and others got out of the car, looked at it, it was a very magnificent gambling stone field, all kinds of antique buildings, carved dragon huā pillars, very ancient, an octagonal pavilion stood in the middle of the gambling stone field, the octagonal pavilion was in the middle of the wall, the wall was hung with the signboard of "a knife is rich, a knife is poor", a copper gong is hung on the rattan trellis, Liu Qing introduced: This means a final word.

Four rows of long tables are placed on large and small rough stones, the skin color is yellow and black, Liu Qing led the way to the living room, while saying: "This is the original stone, these stones may be jadeite, whether you can bet on jadeite, it depends on your luck." ”

There are some huge rough stones piled up in the corners on the side, and there are several tons of them when you look at one piece, Li Moyang asked: "Are these also rough stones?"

Liu Qing smiled proudly: "Yes, these are all calculated according to one hundred yuan per kilogram, guess how much it costs to buy this stone alone?"

"Well, it's millions, so if you can't bet on the jade, wouldn't it be a loss?" Hu Shengsong gasped, and Liu Jin'er was also stunned with her mouth covered.

"Yes, one knife is poor and two knives are rich, what you want is the fun of gambling!" Liu Qing spoke, welcomed everyone into the living room, and in the living room, an old man with a childish face sat on the Taishi chair, and when he saw everyone entering the house, he didn't stand up, his expression was very arrogant, but Liu Qing didn't care.

"Haha, Ma Lao, my guest has arrived, let me introduce you. Liu Qing greeted him with a smile, which made everyone including Du Baogang stunned, this so-called Ma Lao is not small.

Ma Lao still sat on the Taishi chair, bowing slightly to say hello, Liu Qing arranged for Du Baogang to sit on the Taishi chair next to Ma Lao, which was considered to be on an equal footing with Ma Lao, he sat on the chair on the side, and Li Moyang and others also sat down.

Du Baogang was light and light, he didn't care, Li Moyang had a very good mentality, and he didn't take it seriously, Hu Shengsong was a little unwilling, and Song Yiming was also very dissatisfied, this so-called Ma Lao is very good, and international tycoons don't take it seriously.

Liu Qing owed a debt, introduced the guests, and began to focus on recommending Ma Lao: "Haha, guests from afar, I solemnly introduce Ma Zhongren, the consultant of Yanghua Gambling Stone Farm and an expert in gambling stones, Ma Zhongren Ma Lao." Ma Lao was very cold about this, laughing but silent, terrible, Hu Shengsong and Song Yiming were very dissatisfied on the side.

Liu Qing continued: "Before introducing Ma Lao, I will give you a science popularization of gambling stones, or jade, it can be said that the prosperity of gambling stones here in Yunnan since the reform and opening up has a lot to do with Ma Lao, Ma Lao has played a pivotal role, and the contribution is indispensable!"

Ma Lao was very complacent, stroked his white beard, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of mellow Pu'er, Liu Qing waited for Ma Lao to finish drinking tea, and then continued: "Gambling stone is a unique high-grade jade rough stone trading method popular in the border area of Yunnan and Myanmar, it attracts jade merchants from all over the world to participate in the puff with its strong gambling color, strong stimulation and high risk, which can be described as a long time of prosperity. If the seller knows how to gamble on his eyesight and good luck, and if he can buy the best products, he can become a nouveau riche, a millionaire or even a multimillionaire in an instant, on the contrary, if he looks at the goods and has bad luck, he will lose all his money and go bankrupt. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a group of gambling stone experts in Tengchong, who became famous, Mao Yingde became rich because of the gambling "Mao family jade", in order to show off his wealth, after his death, thousands of pairs of high-grade jade bracelets were tied into coffins and covers as funeral goods. ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped, and it was really awesome.

Liu Qing continued: "Gambling stone, everyone must be curious about this thing. As the name suggests, the jade we see is usually wrapped in the stone before processing, so in terms of appearance, if the surface of the stone is not damaged and the contents are exposed, it is no different from ordinary broken stone. However, the density of jade is much greater than that of stone, and if it is wrapped in jade, it will be significantly heavier than ordinary stone.

The jade wool materials seen in Yunnan are basically from Myanmar. There are large and small gambling stones, and generally these stone sellers will weigh them in advance and mark the weight on the stones, and people who don't feel good can judge the weight directly by the numbers on it. In order to judge the quality of the jade inside, a small flashlight is usually used to stick to the surface of the stone to see how the color is revealed.

Gambling stones are as small as hundreds of dozens, roughly hundreds of thousands of people have to look at personal ability, not necessarily expensive stones have jade or jade will be very good, and not necessarily small stones do not have good jade. A stone, no one knows whether the belly of the stone is jade or waste stone. After buying the stone, you can take it home as a whole, or you can cut it at the time, and after cutting, you can directly make handicrafts and jewelry according to the size and shape of the jade. Generally speaking, the processing fee for making a bracelet is 30 to 40 yuan. ”

At this point, everyone finally has a little concept of gambling stones, Liu Qing coughed, glanced at Ma Lao and said: "Again, I want to mention a person, he was born in a jade family, in the jade gambling stone market for more than 20 years; he has achieved many jade giants, the jade market pattern of China has changed because of him; he advocates jade virtue, is an active advocate of Chinese jade culture; after years of research and research, he proposed that the Heshi Bi of China is jade. In this way, jadeite as a cultural commodity should flow into China 2600 years ago. His assertion has been unanimously recognized by industry experts. His life is full of mystery. This is Mr. Ma Lao Ma Zhongren Ma Lao. ”

Du Baogang raised his glass to salute, Li Moyang and Hu Shengsong, and Song Yiming were a little impressed by the coaxing old man. Ma Lao spoke for the first time: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, it's all an old thing, hehe." In a word, it was terrible, and the good impression of Li Moyang and others disappeared again.

Liu Qing continued: "Recently, the 65-year-old Ma Lao has another amazing move: he sold a huge "gambling stone" for 10 million yuan at the Yangon public market (trade fair) in Myanmar, and immediately a buyer bid 50 million yuan, becoming the biggest winner of the gambling stone market in the season. This spring, a special car moved part of this piece of jade into Beijing's Xidan Minrenfu Jade Shop, which really opened people's eyes.

Throughout the ages, the jadeite wool trade has always been a gambling battlefield for adventurers. The small amount of jadeite wool is calculated in grams, and the large is on the tonnage. Most of the people who were selected into the "gambling stone" field were called "hooded stones" by the insiders, which refers to stones that are wrapped in a shell of varying thicknesses on the outside, or have small skylights opened. Many jade buyers start gambling games under this shell, and many of them bet all their assets on a single stone, and the inexperienced and courageous have to be discouraged. Even if it is a "half-bright, half-gambling" jade, traders are also cautious. People in the industry know that when a stone is cut, it is possible to get a crystal clear, green and watery quality, and the buyer is immediately worth a hundred times, while some stones may be dry and worthless, and the buyer will immediately go bankrupt.

Ma Zhongren, who was originally a geologist, was born in 1940 in Tengchong, an ancient city in western Yunnan, not far from the jade production area of Myanmar. About thousands of years ago, the Tengchong people found a wonderful stone in northern Myanmar, brought it back to their hometown to cut it, and obtained a beautiful stone, which is jadeite. Since then, jade artisans and jewelers have begun to gather in Tengchong. At that time, Ma Zhongren's father was also an expert in jadeite. After the liberation, Ma Zhongren studied geology in college, and then engaged in geological research for more than 20 years. After the reform and opening up, he became one of the earliest scholars of his generation to go to the sea.

His unique geological experience has given him an intimate knowledge of jadeite. Any piece of jadeite wool, as long as he holds it in his hand, whether there is green in it, how much green is worth, he is sure. That's why people call him the "Emerald King". ”
