Chapter 85: Ten bets and nine losses
The car soon arrived at the five-star hotel where the gambling stone feast was held, and after He Shaochen got out of the car, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to sleep so well." ”
Lin Fei glanced at him and replied nonchalantly: "That's because you have good driving skills." ”
But obviously, this sentence was not a compliment, it stopped in He Shaochen's ears, Lin Fei simply regarded him as a driver, and He Shaochen looked gloomy.
Lin Fei ignored him, all his thoughts were now on the gambling stone feast, so he went straight to the door and took the elevator towards the thirtieth floor.
There are a lot of people in the elevator, many of them are in suits and leather shoes, they look like elites, their whole bodies exude the style of aristocrats, and some are wearing loose linen clothes and the like, but their bearing is also extraordinary.
He Shaochen said with a smile: "These people are also here to participate in the gambling stone feast. ”
Lin Fei didn't say anything, he was thinking about the gambling stone for a while.
The so-called gambling stone, as the name suggests, is actually a stone, but this stone is not an ordinary stone, but a jade rough with the king of jade.
There are two kinds of jadeite rough, one is mountain material, and the other is seed material. The mountain material is directly mined from the jadeite mine, there is no outer skin, the shape is irregular, there are many edges and cracks, the structure is rough and loose, and the quality is really not very good.
But the seeds are different, they are all jadeite mined in the riverbed, which is an almost round or oval gravel wrapped by the outer skin of the jadeite rock that has been weathered and broken and rolled down the hillside, and then replaced by flood or river water into a ravine or creek. Gravel can be large and small, large ones can be thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, and if they are small, there are also those the size of fingernails.
However, because there is a layer of weathered skin on the surface of the seed, it is not possible to see the situation inside, whether there is jadeite in it, and people can only rely on their own experience or borrow some tools to judge whether there is jadeite formation inside the seed, or the quality of jadeite.
This makes it very difficult to identify the quality of jadeite raw materials in the transaction of jadeite raw materials, but it is also challenging.
Because this is equivalent to gambling, but the gambling thing is different.
In the gambling stone, many people choose the wool, after cutting, if it is green, then it is called gambling up, if the cut is a piece of white flowers, then it is called gambling down.
The reason why it is called gambling is also because, even if you think that you are an experienced expert, you can't have a complete grasp, but it's a little better than gambling.
But despite this, there are still countless people who have gone forward and succeeded, after all, if you are lucky, you can open a jadeite rough worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
This is a case where you can get rich overnight.
And Mao Anbang is one of the countless gambling stone armies, but he is not the lucky one.
Mao Anbang is one of the first to play gambling stones, and he is very famous in the gambling stone world, and the reason why he is famous is because he once cut an extremely rare piece of glass full of green jadeite, and sold it for a full 40 million after selling it.
You must know that the jadeite with emerald color is very rare, and the jadeite with emerald green is the best jadeite, since it is the best, one or two can come out of hundreds of wool, it is not easy.
Because of this luck, Mao Anbang directly became a rich man, probably because of this fortune, Mao Anbang did not stop in time after transferring so much money, but buried himself in research, plunged into this industry again, and also opened a private jade shop, those superb good jade, is obtained by gambling stones.
In those years, Mao Anbang was indeed very lucky, others were nine out of ten bets and nine losses, but when it came to him, it was eight out of ten bets to win, although he could not win tens of millions of dollars at once like at the beginning, but he could also win tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of small money little by little.
And Mao Anbang's fame has also opened up in the gambling stone world, and he has been complimented by many people, and many people have asked him to look long.
In those years, Mao Anbang was full of spirits.
It's just that luck also runs out, more than five years ago, Mao Anbang followed his friends to buy a rough stone at a high price at the Myanmar conference, and the rough stone was likely to be out of imperial green, and he competed for a long time to get it.
I put most of my wealth into it, but I didn't expect that after the rough stone was cut, it turned out to be white and nothing.
After that, it was even more unlucky, nine out of ten bets were lost, and most of the stones that were cut were white, and there was nothing in them.
If you can restrain the people, you will stop and run your own jade shop in a down-to-earth manner.
But everyone knows that gamblers are basically in a daze, especially those who lose their bets, and they are even more red-eyed, and they can't earn back all the losses they have lost before.
Mao Anbang is such a person, he didn't stop after that, but became more and more powerful, and finally lost his family and bankrupt, and even gave his jade shop to others.
And the person who gave it was Lao Zhang.
Mao Anbang actually had a good relationship with Lao Zhang at the beginning, so he was willing to give it to Lao Zhang when he sold the jade shop, but he didn't expect that after Lao Zhang had nothing, he turned his face in a blink of an eye, and sneered every time he saw him.
It stands to reason that Mao Anbang should also be careful to find a job and live a down-to-earth life, but Mao Anbang is unwilling, and second, he is really interested in this, so as long as he has time, he will go to others next to him to buy wool and cut stones, of course, he will occasionally buy a piece when he has money, and if he is lucky, he can also produce a little green, and earn thousands of yuan, but it does not exceed 10,000. If you're unlucky, you'll gamble.
On weekdays, Mao Anbang will avoid Lao Zhang, but this time at the Gambling Stone Conference, Mao Anbang saved a little money and came on purpose, and many people who play jade will basically come, so even if Mao Anbang wants to avoid it, there is no way to avoid it.
No, in this elevator, Mao Anbang met Lao Zhang and the four of them.
The corners of Lao Zhang's mouth curled up with sarcasm: "Yo, isn't this **? Why do you come to buy wool again? Aren't you afraid of gambling down? When the time comes, don't even wear pants!"
Mao Anbang's face flushed.
This incident was when Mao Anbang first gambled, at that time, he was red-eyed, and Lao Zhang came to provoke again, so the two made a bet, Lao Zhang was not at ease, and said that he would take off his pants if he lost the bet.
Mao Anbang didn't expect that he would lose so badly, and at that time he directly became the laughing stock of the gambling stone world.
Mao Anbang said angrily: "Hmph, it's good to be optimistic about yourself, be nosy, you wait, I will always return it to you for the original thing!"
Lao Zhang sneered: "Haha, then I can wait, I just hope I don't wait until your wife runs away, I haven't waited yet." ”
After Mao Anbang lost the first defeat, his wife saw that he was still addicted to it, and in a fit of anger, she took the child to divorce him, Mao Anbang was naturally unwilling, and his wife went back to her parents' house with the child directly.
Later, Mao Anbang compromised, but his wife also knew that he really loved this, and she would not force him not to play, but only let him play occasionally, but he couldn't play big, Mao Anbang was naturally happy not to.
However, the fact that Mao Anbang's wife ran away with her children was still known to some people, including Lao Zhang, so every time he saw him, Lao Zhang would use these things to humiliate Mao Anbang.
