Chapter 27: Gambling Stones

The next morning, the summer sun was hot, scorching the world. It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and it's not hot. After drinking too much wine last night, Qin Jue woke up early, but he only felt weak, and he never got up from the bed.

"Ding ......" The mobile phone rang, Qin Jue picked up the phone and picked it up in a trance.

"Stinky boy, daughter-in-law is beautiful, isn't it? It's really cheap for you kid, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's eye thief, would you be able to arch this good cabbage like a stupid pig?"

"Hey, old immortal, I said that you have a serious day and night? Look at your old disrespectful appearance, you are not afraid of being struck by thunder in the rain that day. Qin Jue's face twitched slightly, and he scolded.

"Fart, you kid curse me. Bah......" the old bastard scolded, spitting and smearing.

"Less, Lao Tzu is looking for you for business!"

The old bastard was rarely serious, and the tone on the phone was obviously a little more solemn.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Qin Jue also cheered up a little, and his face was also a little serious.

"That group of people knows that you're back, I'm afraid you won't be in Shenhai for long. ”

Slightly stunned, Qin Jue frowned.

"I've long since left there, what are they looking for me?"

Qin Jue said coldly, a trace of cold light appeared in his eyes, and even the air around him froze. It had been a nightmare, and he still felt cold when he thought about it. If it weren't for that experience, he would never have retired so early. Thinking about it, the anger in his heart rose sharply, Qin Jue deliberately suppressed it, his eyes were already slightly red, and he didn't realize that the murderous aura in his body was surging, which was the sequelae of that experience.

The old bastard seemed to feel the anger between Qin Jue's words, and a sigh sounded slightly.

"You thought you wouldn't have to worry about anything if you left, you know better than I know what it is. I'm just telling you, you kid have to pay attention to it yourself. ”

"Hmph...... , if you want to find me, I want to see what kind of battle they can put up. Qin Jue chuckled, his expression full of anger.

"Alas...... , you kid is just too hard, not like you and me at all, you can do it yourself. With that, he hung up the phone.

In the room, Qin Jue lit a cigarette, only took a puff, and then he stood the cigarette in the ashtray. The air conditioning in the room was gently blowing, and the cigarette seemed to burn slowly like a stick of incense.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Li got up. Last night's drinking party made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Jiang Li changed into a set of professional clothes, Alluring appearance, perfect figure, Qin Jue almost drooled when he saw it.

Qin Jue also changed into a customized suit, and the white shirt showed Qin Jue's perfect chest muscles to the fullest. Although Qin Jue looked thin, his figure was staggered.

"Qin Jue, today is the day of our Jiang family meeting, my parents called in the morning and asked me to take you with me, so we won't go to the company today. I have already instructed Hou Jun to let him rest for a day, and today we will drive back to the Jiang family's ancestral house by ourselves." ”

"Is there anything special about the clan meeting?" Qin Jue asked in a low voice, he didn't want to repeat the first time they met, he didn't even prepare a gift, and now that he thought about it, he was a little embarrassed.

"It's just a simple family reunion, my second and third uncles will all attend, and there is nothing special about it. Jiang Li smiled slightly, her parents' order was to take Qin Jue with her, so she spoke relatively gently, for fear that if this guy didn't go, it would be bad.

"Uh...... You shouldn't even have a gift at all, right?"

"It's up to you, it's not too early, let's go, as for the gift, let's buy it after thinking about it on the way." Jiang Li looked at his watch and urged.

Nodding, Qin Jue followed her out. After taking the key, Jiang Li directly started the car and drove Qin Jue to the Jiang family's ancestral house.

The ancestral house of the Jiang family is located in the southwest of Shenhai, although it is not the most luxurious area, but it is relatively clean. After walking for more than half an hour, you can see an ancient town in the distance, which is also the only ancient city left in Shenhai today. The ancestral house of the Jiang family stands in the east of the ancient town, with the momentum of the air pressure dragon's head, the bird rises in the east, and the green dragon raises its head, which is really a treasure of feng shui.

The car came from the west, crossed the ancient town, and a huge mansion could be seen in the distance. The huge house is antique, magnificent, and has been renovated several times to make it even more extraordinary.

This is the second time Qin Jue has come to the Jiang family's ancestral house, and the first time was ten years ago.

Qin Jue vaguely remembered that the most famous thing in this ancient town was the antique market in the center of the town, and there was the largest gambling stone market in Zhonghai next to the market. Last time, Qin Zheng took Qin Jue to play in the gambling stone field, and won tens of millions.

He still remembers that Jiang Shanggong was very fond of collecting antiques, especially jade, and he loved jadeite even more.

Qin Jue smiled slightly, and he paid some attention in his heart.

Crossing a street in front, Qin Jue asked Jiang Li to stop under the huge archway, he remembered that not far from the edge of the archway, there was an antique market, this was the first time he officially visited Jiang Li's parents, and he couldn't be empty-handed.

The air outside was too hot, so he asked Jiang Li to wait in the car and went to buy gifts alone.

Jiang Li was curious, this antique market was true and false, confused, and the price was outrageous, originally he was still worried about Qin Jue's lack of funds, wouldn't he be embarrassed when he bought fake or defective products, but seeing Qin Jue's confident appearance, he couldn't help it for a while and didn't speak.

It was the height of summer, and the temperature outside was 42 degrees, and Qin Jue was already soaking wet. After a few turns in a row, I finally found my place.

The gambling stone market here is very magnificent, the area is the size of five football fields, and the venue has long been crowded with all kinds of gambling stones, and the stones of all shapes and sizes are everywhere.

Although Qin is not keen on gambling stones, he has lived in the mountains for so many years and collected medicine for more than ten years, and he is still quite familiar with these stones with different shapes and shapes.

If you look closer, you can see that each stone is numbered and the price is indicated. The risk of gambling on stones is extremely high, and the meaning of "a knife is poor, a knife is rich" is exactly what it means. Of course, there are also many merchants who deliberately cheat and deceive people. Therefore, gambling stones are extremely testing of vision and experience.

After taking a turn in the field, Qin absolutely had some general understanding of these jadeite rough stones, and also conducted a preliminary screening of these wool materials. Gambling stones are not about bigger being better, but more importantly about quality.

Screening the primary jadeite rough stones one by one, Qin Jue found that there were still many traces of artificial processing, which was the so-called pit, and it took more than an hour to select Qin Jue to select three jadeite rough stones.

The largest piece is the size of a bowl and is the most expensive piece, with a price tag of 800,000 yuan, a slightly smaller piece with a price tag of 600,000 yuan, and the smallest piece, which is only the size of an egg, but also has a price tag of 200,000 yuan.

These three pieces of wool are of pure quality and can be called excellent.

Qin Jue held the three stones in his hand, registered them at the counter, and prepared to cut the stones.

The gambling stone of the ancient city, once the customer chooses the rough stone, there are two choices, one is to pay directly to take away; the other is to cut in public, after cutting, according to the quality of the jadeite, the customer can choose to take away or be recycled by the merchant, if the quality is poor, the value is low, the customer does not want, just pay the difference; if the quality is excellent, the merchant is more willing to recycle, the customer can also take the opportunity to make a big profit; in addition, the customer can also choose to take away the cut jade, of course, only need to pay the price of the original stone.

Because the gambling stone market is very large and the forces behind the scenes are very strong, no one will pay the debt at all.

"...... Sonor"

The stonecutter was cutting a piece of wool at this time, Qin Jue glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

This piece of wool is a little fat man on the side, the wool is very large, the size of a football, and the price on the label is 2 million.

The little fat man kept wiping his sweat, looking at it, and kept muttering: "This time it must be accurate, that's 2 million." ”

As he spoke, his whole body trembled, as if he had cut not a stone at this moment, but himself.

Qin Jue only felt funny, put aside the three rough stones he had chosen at random, lit a cigarette leisurely, and waited on the side.

The little fat man glanced back at Qin Jue and said with a smile.

"Big brother, these stones of yours are of good quality. ”

Qin Jue nodded, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

It seems that he wants to be recognized by others to supplement his own lack of confidence. The fat man asked nervously again,

"Big ...... , big brother, what do you think of my stone? ”

Qin Jue spit out a puff of his cigarette, looked at the young man in front of him, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice,

"Don't you cut it again? ”

The fat man looked even more nervous, although the whole market was air-conditioned and not too hot, but the sweat on the little fat man's face was getting more and more.

Qin Jue scolded lightly in his heart: "I'll go, are you gambling on stones or your life?" ”

The stone-cutter smiled softly at the little fat man, a hint of cunning flashing across his face.

"Xiao Wenhao, it's about to be cut, and then it's time to witness the miracle. As he spoke, the speed of the cutter was clearly accelerated by a few points, and the force was a little stronger.

"Click!" there was a crisp sound, and the jade was cut in half from the middle.

Before the slices of the cutter could stop, the little fat man rushed up and snatched half of the rough stone.

I saw that although the middle of the huge rough stone is still jadeite, the quality is very poor, the whole body is yellow, the middle is full of cracks, and there are many small holes. It looks like a that has been eaten by termites, and the quality is extremely poor.

"Bang!" half a stone slipped from his hand, and the little fat man sat on the ground with a disappointed face, his face full of frustration, as if he had lost half his life.

"Xiao Wenhao, the quality of your stone is poor, we are willing to recycle it for 20,000 yuan, what do you think?"

The cutter whispered, a smile on his face.

The little fat man kicked his feet angrily and muttered, "Damn, two million has become twenty thousand in a blink of an eye, you are cutting my flesh." ”

The remaining half of his life seemed to have lost his soul, and the little fat man sat paralyzed like a deflated ball, still chattering in his mouth, "This is Lao Tzu's pocket money for half a year, alas......"

Qin Jue smiled softly, feeling that this little fat man was very interesting.
