Chapter 14: The Gambling Stone (I)
Back at Li's house, Li Jianhua warmly opened the door and greeted him, grabbing Wang Xiao's arm cordially and said, "Brother, are you back, I don't know if this trip will go well?"
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Wang Xiao took out 18 kidney strengthening pills in a plastic bag in his pocket and handed them to Li Jianhua.
"Good brother!" Li Jianhua took the pill for fear that Wang Xiao would regret it, so he immediately put it in his pocket. Then he said happily: "Little brother, don't you know if the elders in the family have other types of medicines, such as weight loss, or beauty types?"
"Yes, many of them are still in the experimental stage, and now there is a mask that has been successfully tested, and I haven't asked about the specific efficacy. Wang Xiao nodded and said. "If it works, I'll show you it. ”
"That's great, you should know that you, Brother Li, and I made a fortune in beauty and health care products. Li Jianhua patted Wang Xiao's shoulder and said. As a businessman, he clearly knows the efficacy of the pills provided by Wang Xiao, and he knows that this is a business opportunity, an opportunity for him to open up a gap with other brands. So he had to win over Wang Xiao.
"Good brother, you will treat me as your own brother in the future. I'll ask you and Xudong for a leave of absence, and I'll take you to see the big scene today. After Li Jianhua finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Wang Xiao's counselor, and asked for leave in two very simple sentences.
Wang Xiao did not refuse, at this time he also wanted to see the life of a rich man.
Back in the room, looking at Li Xudong who was flowing onto the pillow, Wang Xiao felt a little headache, how could this person become sloppy after he got better.
Following Liu Meng's example, Wang Xiao found a stainless steel broom and knocked it on the head of Li Xudong's bed. After more than ten minutes of tug-of-war, Li Xudong finally surrendered and got up.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiao told Li Xudong about his father asking them to go out to play together today, but he didn't expect that the grandson would finish washing and dressing in less than five minutes.
As soon as I walked out of the bedroom, I smelled the aroma of food, and it turned out that during the time when Li Xudong was inking, the nanny had already made breakfast. Wang Xiao didn't see anything outside, sat down and ate along.
After breakfast, the three of them rushed to the outskirts of Binshi in Li Jianhua's Bentley car, because there was going to be a gambling stone festival in China.
This time, the Binshi Gambling Stone Festival was jointly organized by major famous jewelry companies across the country, which can be said to be the first time in the history of China.
The festival takes place in a huge open space on the outskirts of the city, but at this time it is full of luxury cars.
After finally stopping the car, Wang Xiao saw that there were people shuttling back and forth at the entrance, and it seemed that there were not a few people participating in the Gambling Stone Festival this time.
The three of them walked into the venue, and Li Jianhua introduced some rules and precautions to the two of them.
In the gambling stone world, there are generally three types. The first is pure gambling, this kind of seller does not know whether there is jadeite in it, this kind of gambling is the largest, it is completely by luck.
The second is open betting, which means that the rough stone has been planed open, and the internal situation can be seen at a glance, and the value of the stone can be basically determined. Of course, there is also a risk in betting, it is possible to expose a good quality jadeite on the face, but in fact, the interior cannot reach this level at all.
The third is half-bright and half-gambling, which is to make a small opening in the stone and see a little bit of the internal situation. This kind of play is also extremely risky, so it is called half betting.
The price of rough stones in open gambling and semi-gambling is generally very high, and even if the jadeite is cut out, the money earned is very limited, so few people touch it.
Of course, there is a special area for calcing, and the purchased stones can be cut there only for some manual fees.
The process of calcing stones is very exciting, so the people in the calcite area are not at all comparable to the people in the gambling stone area.
Whenever a stone is unraveled, the owner of the stone will stare at his rough stone. And when the stone is unraveled, some people are happy and some are worried, and when they are shipped, they are naturally smiling, and when they lose money, they are sad.
Only a small number of people make money, and most people lose money. But this feeling of being rich with a knife makes people go for it.
As they spoke, they quickly walked to the interior of the Gambling Stone Festival, which was the real gambling stone place. In the periphery, there are actually some small merchants and vendors who come to visit, and they have very few things, and it is difficult to produce good things.
During this period, Wang Xiao tried to scan the stones with his left eye and found that it worked. This also made him feel happy in his heart, isn't this the same as giving money? But he didn't show it on his face.
Passing by a stall, an old man cut out a jade worth more than 100,000 yuan at a cost of 2,000 yuan. The trembling hand held the cut jadeite, and the wrinkles on his face were all gathered together because of joy.
"Brother Wang, Brother Dang is happy today, you and Xudong each choose 100,000 rough stones, the profit is yours, and the loss is mine, how about it?" Li Jianhua looked back at the two and said.
"Who is Brother Wang?" Li Xudong was a little dazed at this time, he didn't remember that his father's friend also came. Tilting his head to look at Wang Xiao, he said in surprise: ", are you the brother Wang that my father said?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Wang Xiao asked as he looked at Li Xudong puzzled.
", then what should I call you?" Li Xudong took a step back in surprise and pointed at Wang Xiao and said.
Immediately after that, I felt a slap on the back of my head and almost couldn't stand, Li Jianhua's voice came from behind me: "Call uncle, stinky boy, what else can you call me brother!"
glanced at Wang Xiao aggrievedly, remembering that there were still 100,000 yuan to squander, and his mood instantly improved.
Everyone walked and watched, Li Jianhua did not interfere with the selection of rough stones by the two. Wang Xiao also scanned the internal structure of the rough stone while walking.
Although Wang Xiao can scan the internal structure of the original stone, he has to scan each of these thousands of stones, so the process is very boring.
On the contrary, it was Li Xudong, I saw him touching this and that, and picking up stones completely at will.
Li Jianhua went to the stone area to see the excitement by himself.
After Wang Xiao scanned a large number of rough stones, he had confidence in his heart, and he slowly selected the stones he wanted and put them into the prepared cart. Wang Xiao did not choose very expensive rough stones, because the expensive rough stones he had seen were not good. Although the cart already had a few rough stones, the most expensive one cost 5,000 yuan.
When passing a stall, Wang Xiao found a rough stone the size of a pumpkin. His heart was shocked, this stone was not small, the outer skin looked very ordinary, but the inside was hidden a fist-sized jadeite. Its transparency should belong to the ice jadeite, and the whole jadeite is quite complete without any flaws. In terms of quality, this piece of jadeite must be above one million.
Wang Xiao's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and he thought in his heart: "No wonder so many people like to gamble on stones, this gambling stone is really a money-making industry, this stone is priced at 10,000 yuan, and it can be sold for one million after being cut and sold for a million, which has increased a hundred times." Just this one stone, you can buy a two-bedroom apartment in a good location in Binshi. ”
Without saying a word, he bought it directly and put it in his small cart, and Wang Xiao continued to wander among the stalls.
