Chapter 54: The Gambling Stone

Later, no one knew where the stone was. Although I am interested in this trade, I don't have enough experience and need to weigh it. However, there is no need to think about these things now, because Brother Handan, you have such a discerning eye, so isn't it prosperous in this gambling stone field?" Yun Zhongjin looked at me and smiled evilly. It looked like it was going to eat me.

"What if you lose your eyes?"

"Hehe, Brother Handan is really good at laughing. This is said by others that I believe it, but you can't. In other words, how many people in this great country of China can tell at a glance that my clothes are from the era and related tasks?"

"That's right. This flattery is comfortable to hear.

"Why don't we take a look at some of the surrounding fields first?" suggested Red Evil Heart.

"Eh, what do you think, Brother Handan?" Yun Zhongjin slapped his palm, turned his head to me and asked tentatively.

"I don't have a problem with that. "I spread my hands, and I didn't mind at all.

"Okay, let's go!"

....

As the name suggests, gambling stones are commonly said to be gambling stones. Gambling stone or gambling goods refers to the jadeite when mined, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapping, can not know the quality of the jadeite, must be cut to know the quality of the jadeite, this is called gambling stone. However, the thickness of the skin depends mainly on the degree of weathering, and the higher the degree of weathering, the thicker the skin. The skin of a piece of jadeite raw material is colored, the surface is very good, and the green is seen when the first knife is cut, but the green may not be there when the second knife is cut, which is also a common thing, and this situation is called a knife green in the industry terminology.

Half an hour, a group of four of us swaggered into a medium-sized gambling stone field. Although it is medium-sized, this space is the size of half a football field. On the flat ground, the square wooden tables were piled with jadeite rough stones. This unprocessed rough stone is called wool, and the whole thing is wrapped in a leather shell, and there is no cut or window. I can only look at it by my own experience and luck.

In the gambling stone factory, hundreds of people choose wool at the table. These rough stones are marked with a price code, and the higher the price of the rough stone, the higher the purity. Of course, this is not necessarily the case. Who but me knows what's in there. Even today, with the advancement of science, there is no instrument that can quickly determine whether it is a treasure jade or a ruin through this shell. Therefore, buying and selling is very risky and exciting, so it is called gambling. The profit of winning the bet is unimaginable, so this kind of trading has endured from ancient times to the present.

The history of jade can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, tens of millions of years ago, which shows the longevity of history, but the history of gambling stone is not very long, probably in the Qing Dynasty when it became popular.

As a unique way of trading, gambling stones have risen and prospered since the history of the China-Myanmar border and Yunnan jade trading market. An unopened window of the original stone, in addition to the shape and weight, no one can tell what is inside, there is such a saying in the gambling stone world: "It is difficult for the gods to break the jade." "It is only after cutting and dissecting that there is a real conclusion. Based on their own experience and the performance on the shell, the gambling stone man repeatedly guesses and judges to estimate the price. If you buy it back, you may cut open the inside with a knife and the color is good, and it is worth millions of dollars, or it may be colorless and waterless inside, and it will become worthless in an instant, which is the risk of gambling stones. One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and a stone can make a person rich, or it can make a person bankrupt overnight.

All of this was explained to us by the cloud brocade on the way here. I don't know what evil the two of them fell into, but I listen to it with relish...

Looking at so many stones in front of me. I don't know how long I'll have to look at them one by one. Yun Zhongjin said that although the field here is large, the wool is low, but I always think that the people here know less about the goods. With so many rough stones placed here, who can know which piece is jadeite and which piece is rotten jade?

I looked up and looked around, and saw a middle-aged man in front of me holding several pieces of wool in his arms, and the prices were extremely high. Presumably, this person thinks that the probability of jadeite from high-priced rough stones is also relatively large, right?

Dynamic vision turned on, stared at a few pieces of wool in his arms and glanced at it for a few moments, then lowered his head. There are a total of five rough stones, and there is only one piece of jadeite that can be produced, and the color is poor, the water is not good, the green is black inside, and the transparency is low. The price of each rough stone in his arms is more than 10,000 yuan, and the jadeite is estimated to be not enough for him to get back his old book. Sadly, looking at the expression on his face, he is probably quite confident that he can open a few pieces of jadeite.

I continued to look at the stones, sweeping them over the crusts. With the blessing of dynamic vision, the surface of the stone skin in my eyes was covered with a slight crack, and then the crack gradually spread, winding the whole rough stone. The cracks separated from the stone embryo, and the structure inside the rough stone came to my face. The inside of this yellow sand skin rough is a little green, but the color is very poor, the water head is not good, and the green is slightly yellow. Shaking his head, he put down the gambling stone and went elsewhere.

Time flies, and there is no hope for results. It seems that Yun Zhongjin is right, the probability of green in this case is too low and too low... It's a rare sight in 10,000 years. No matter how I defy the sky, it took me an afternoon to find a high-purity jadeite. It's either green and black, or there are a lot of impurities... There is too much difference between the list price and the available price, and it is a loss to buy it.

Forget it, call the three of them and leave. I can only wait for tomorrow's gambling stone cultural festival to make a big profit.

Just as he was about to leave, an earth-shattering roar came from a translucent cutting room next to him.

"Ahh

I pouted, this kind of thing, in this industry, can only be regarded as a common thing. There are many people who lose their fortunes in the gambling stone market every day.

I beckoned the three of them over and was about to walk towards the gate, when suddenly, somehow, something didn't feel right. Turning my head to look to the side, a large black stone weighing about twenty pounds on the shelf caught my attention.

"I'm going, did you have this thing here in the first place?" I stared at the black black sand rough with wide eyes. Dynamic vision makes virtual cutting, and particles disperse. Cracks appeared, and under the black stone skin, a little transparent luster appeared...

"Damn!" shouted loudly, attracting the attention of several people in this area.

I hurriedly picked up the stone and led the three of them to the counter.

With a "thud", heavy stones slammed down on the counter table, startling the sleepy administrator.
