"OK, this piece of material is yours, congratulations, stupid beep, 50,000 yuan for a piece of mud. ”

Zhou Qiang almost didn't hesitate, directly handed over the piece of material to him, and then said to the shopkeeper Nunu: "Come and collect the money, otherwise, the Xu family will regret it." ”

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Xu Ke's head, and his heart was like numbness.

He realized that he was being played with by Zhou Qiang's tricks and applauded, that piece of material must be particularly bad, but before he had time to observe, he didn't ask the gambling stone consultant, so he was provoked to quote 50,000 yuan. Although it is a small amount of money, after the loss, there will definitely be some yin and yang people who laugh at themselves behind their backs.

But......

Repentance?

Xu Ke smiled bitterly, he knew that his identity was a double-edged sword, others could regret it, but he must not be able to.

How could the heir of the Xu family lose the credibility of the wealthy family because of only 50,000 yuan?

Therefore, Xu Ke finally waved his hand numbly: "Pay, and then ...... Calcite. ”

"Do you really want to solve the stone?" Chu Yiming lowered his voice, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

He shook his head and reminded Xu Ke not to fall into Zhou Qiang's trap: "Xu Shao, we can wait until later to solve the stone, if we wait and find that there is nothing after the stone is solved, wouldn't it be a slap in our face?"

"Calvite!"

Xu Ke's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold: "We were so aggressive and ridiculous to Zhou Qiang before, but he still solved the stone in front of us openly. If we don't dare to solve the stone and bring this stone back, what is the difference between it and running away with our tails between them?"

"This ...... Yes!" Chu Yiming hesitated for a while, but finally sighed, nodded his head, and did not insist any longer.

Next, the people of the Xu family began to be busy calculating.

Go with a knife.

The stone was cut in half.

However...... Empty!

In the middle of the stone, there is only a viscous white silk mesh.

Zhao Rouge couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that if this stone continues to be buried in the mountains, if it is three or five billion years old, it will be able to turn into jadeite, maybe it will still be imperial green." It's a pity that Mr. Xu Ke was born too early, and it is just a misty sticky substance that has become a silk mesh. This is called me being born before I was born, and I am old when I am born. What a touching story. In the wrong time, meet the wrong you. ”

Xu Ke grimaced, glanced at Zhao Rouge coldly, and finally did not speak.

"It's better to cut it again, maybe you can get something. Zhou Qiang reminded with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't need you to say it, I'm going to keep cutting it!" Xu Ke replied indifferently, and then waved his hand.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and continued to stab.

Now, the rough stone was cut into four pieces.

However, until now, there has been no sign of any jadeite appearing.

Xu Ke's expression became quite exciting at this moment, and there were countless whispers around him, and everyone was obviously laughing at him behind his back.

Xu Ke, who was completely messed up, finally had no fig leaf, he could only close his eyelids and instruct Chu Yiming: "Throw away this piece of material, we lost." ”

Zhou Qiang looked at Xu Ke with a smile, this kind of look was obviously harmless to humans and animals, but Xu Ke felt a strong sense of humiliation like a thorn in his back. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more, just glared back fiercely.

"If a piece fails, does it matter?"

Zhou Qiang chuckled, grabbed a piece of semi-gambling stone casually, and joked: "I look at it again now, why don't you increase the price again?"

Xu Ke held back his anger and glanced at the two gambling stone consultants beside him: "What do you think of this?"

At this point, all the people on the Xu family's side are resentful and in a very bad mood, and it is inevitable that there will be some thoughts of wanting to get back on the field, so the gambling stone consultants can be said to have done their best and are ready to judge well.

Both of them took out their magnifying glasses and looked at them carefully for 10 minutes.

Xu Ke held his breath and waited patiently, he didn't dare to show off his clumsy gambling skills in front of Zhou Qiang, because Xu Ke had already deeply realized in the successive setbacks: Zhou Qiang was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

That guy clearly has super gambling stone skills!

Regardless of where he learned it, all in all, he was truly terrifying. So Xu Ke only hopes that he can win once today, and then he can borrow the donkey to leave. Otherwise, after he gets out of the way, there will inevitably be a lot of complaints within the Xu family.

These days, the Xu family has hit a wall one after another, and his father is also anxious, if there is another news that Xu Ke has been deflated in front of Zhou Qiang, it will really make matters worse. It will also make him the heir lose face.

"Well, boss, this half-gambling stone is not bad. A senior gambling stone consultant gritted his teeth and nodded his head, "Its crack is the famous Hengshan crack, according to the principle of physics, this is the internal and external material properties are different, resulting in asynchronous thermal expansion and cold contraction, so the two forces twist each other, which leads to such a crack." Therefore, it can be judged that there is jadeite inside. ”

Another gambling consultant scratched his beard and said approvingly: "That's not all. Its pattern is a strange blue with green, which is also a symbol of jadeite. Although there is a small window on the side of it, there is no greenery, but there is still unlimited potential! So, my proposal is...... Buy!"

"Okay, what is the price of this half-gambling stone?" Xu Ke immediately asked, glaring at Zhou Qiang defiantly.

The shopkeeper immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "4 million materials, this customer, if you want, write your price code on a small slip of paper, and then put it into the wooden box in front of this material." After three days, we will open the box, select the highest price offer, contact the other party, and pay for the delivery. Of course, if you're not willing to wait, then get a fixed price: three times the price we list. ”

"12 million? are you crazy?!" Chu Yiming changed color, obviously stunned by this outrageous price.

There was also an exclamation all around, shaking their heads one after another.

"What's the difference between half-gambling stone material and full gambling stone material?" Ouyang Jing was a novice, looking at her girlfriends suspiciously.

Chu Tangtang was separated by the crowd, but he heard her question clearly, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I'll explain it to you." The so-called all-gambling stone material is a whole piece of unprocessed jadeite rough, what is dug out of the pit, and it is brought to us as it is. Because the risk is very high, it is difficult to judge whether there is jadeite in it, so the gambling component is very large, so it is called a full gambling material. ”

"And the half-bet stone material, like this one. Chu Tangtang pointed to the small window, "Look, here, the shopkeeper has cut a small square skylight with a chainsaw. From this skylight, we can see the internal structure and thus judge whether it has a higher probability of producing jadeite. Therefore, it is more secure and the risk is low, so it is called half gambling stone material. ”

Ouyang Jing tapped her head: "Thank you for your explanation, I understand." ”

Song Xi'er asked suspiciously: "However, this small window is also full of stones, and there is no green, why is it quoted at 4 million all of a sudden, this price is too high, right?"

Zhou Qiang chuckled and looked at the store manager: "Yes, Mr. Store Manager." Even if this young lady is a novice, she thinks the price is ridiculously high, and you are really suspected of stealing customers!"

"This half-gambling stone comes from the Laohoujiang mine in Burma!" the shopkeeper said with a serious attitude, and at the same time took out a certificate from the table drawer, "Look, this is a certificate, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

The commotion of the crowd subsided slightly.

Since there is a certificate, of course, it is a formal channel, and it is natural that the price is higher.

"The pit of Lao Houjiang is said to have been almost exhausted, are you real?" Chu Yiming asked hesitantly.

The store manager shrugged his shoulders and pointed to his signboard: "Our store is in the gambling stone street of Yanjing City, and it can be regarded as a full 50 years of opening." Time-honored brand, how many years of reputation is well-known. It's just a piece of 4 million material, and we don't care to smash the signboard in order to make this little money. Oh, small businessmen rely on hard work to make money, Chinese businessmen rely on channels to make money, and big businessmen rely on business ethics to make money! The so-called business ethics are embodied in the signboards. I'm not stupid enough to smash the golden signboard that has been built over the past 50 years for the sake of petty profits. ”

That's a beautiful thing to say.

Zhou Qiang cocked his thumb and said, "Okay, then, please ask Mr. Xu Ke to bid." If you don't want it, I'll have it. ”

Xu Ke sneered and glanced at Zhou Qiang: "Don't you want to trick me into taking the bait again! If you want it, even if the bid is, I will naturally quote a reasonable price." However, this is a secret mark, and neither of us can see anyone's offer. So, what can you do to me?"

"What can I do to you?"

Zhou Qiang chuckled, shook his head, looked directly at the store manager, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "12 million, I bought out this piece of material at a fixed price, please give me a stone immediately." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Qiang directly took out his bank card: "Is it okay to pay by card?"

"Of course. The store manager bowed his head and cocked his thumb at Zhou Qiang, "Mr. is refreshing enough!"

At this time, Xu Ke seemed to suddenly realize something.

He stood up suddenly, rushed to the store manager's side, and shouted: "Increase the price! 15 million, I want this stone!!

The store manager was a little stunned, everyone was still complaining that the price was too high, but in a blink of an eye, they actually started to fight again, and everyone thought that the price was too low and generally increased the price wildly.

This simply made the store manager speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

"Heh, Xu Ke Dashao, don't you plan to talk about the first-come-first-served rule?" Zhou Qiang chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, "Don't you want to continue to raise the price with me? Don't forget, how badly you lost last time." ”

"Hmph, you don't want to win me for the third time!" Xu Ke's eyes flashed with a crazy glow, "This time, I will accompany me to the end!"

Zhou Qiang smiled: "That's 17 million." ”

"18 million!" Xu Ke's eyes widened, and he said authentically, "In terms of wealth, our Xu family has never lost to anyone." You nameless wild dog, you deserve to fight with me?"

At this moment, it showed a bit of grandeur of a wealthy family, which made the people on the Xu family's side raise their eyebrows.

However.

The store manager sighed, shook his head, looked at Zhou Qiang and Xu Ke, and then he bowed to the latter with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, Xu Ke, although your status is respected, I also admire your ancestor Xu Taiqing, and even, when I was at my coming-of-age ceremony, Xu Taiqing also came to drink two cups of Moutai." However, rules are rules, and when I do things, I must talk about the rules of first come, first come. After all, I'm not the kind of vendor who breaks his word and gets fat. ”
