Chapter 58 Try your hand at it
There were about 20 people around the rough stone site, but fortunately, the warehouse where the rough stones were stacked was large enough not to look crowded.
Li Xiaoming is looking at these stones, although through the perspective he can see that some of the stones are glowing, but he also knows that there are many types of jadeite, such as what glass species, ice species, glutinous species and other messy types, but just with the current Li Xiaoming's jade half-hanging, he can't tell it at all, he doesn't have much money now, it is impossible to buy all these glowing stones and then grind the skin, otherwise it will be too piercing others' eyes, if you buy all the rough stones with jadeite, the rest of the others are all stones, I'm afraid someone will come to the door the next day to find troubleγ
"Let's see how others buy it first, it's best to see the types of jadeite of these people, and then compare it with what I see. Li Xiaoming made up his mind to observe the experience of others buying rough stones before making a plan.
As he was thinking, there was an arrogant roar of engines outside the warehouse, and Li Xiaoming followed the sound and found that it was a very handsome red Ferrari.
As soon as the car stopped, two well-dressed young men came down, one of them was dyed with gray hair, and he seemed to be the kind of person who was at the forefront of the trend, and after he got out of the car, he walked quickly towards the young man who was still a little shy just now.
This young man should be familiar with them, and his eyes lit up when he saw the sports car, and he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Zheng Dashao, you are here again. In addition to often bringing their female companions to choose jewelry, these two young people also have one of the biggest hobbies, that is, gambling stones, in the past two years, they estimated that they bought at least millions of rough stones in Fuhang jewelry stores, but after all, they lost more and won less, but their enthusiasm for gambling stones has not diminished at all, and they will come every three or five times.
"yes, I'm sending you money again. Gray Fur laughed at himself, and then walked to the area where the most expensive rough stones were kept, and after Gray Fur paced there, he whispered to his companion for a while, and then took out a magnifying glass and looked each stone up and down carefully, and Gray Fur even licked one of the stones, so that the spectators were not disgusted, and decided not to touch that stone later.
Li Xiaoming couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, what kind of way to gamble on stones?
The shy young man was not in a hurry, he just smiled and watched them turn over and over in the pile of rough stones, this thing couldn't be broken anyway, and it didn't matter if they looked at it for a day.
In the end, Gray Mao seemed to have hit a stone, took out a thick stack of red Mao Grandpa from his bag, handed it to the shy young man without counting, and said, "Danzi, I want this piece, there are 30,000 here." β
The shy young man took the money quickly, and put it into his small backpack without counting it, and the package that was still shriveled up suddenly swelled up at this moment, so that Li Xiaoming had to sigh that no matter how much money the stone gambler made, the most profitable person was the jewelry store owner, who could sell it for 30,000 yuan for just a few broken stones, which was really surprising.
Gray hair pointed to a stone on the ground, this stone is about the same size as a pillow, Li Xiaoming estimates that it weighs about a dozen catties, as for this stone, he has already seen it with a perspective eye, and it exudes a faint green light, but Li Xiaoming doesn't know what the depth of this green mist means, but if this gray hair chooses to cut it on the spot, then everything will be revealed.
Just from the naked eye, the appearance of this stone is black and green, if there is a person with gambling stone experience to see, it will definitely be sure that there is 90% of the jadeite, but it is just a difference between the content of jadeite and the type of jadeite, but if someone is unlucky, there is no jadeite grinding in it, then you can only blame yourself for bad luck.
"Zheng Shao, are you preparing?" the young man named Danzi picked up the stone and asked if Gray Mao was preparing to open it on the spot or if he had other plans.
"Forget it, just open it for me, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, this stupid lack can get rid of the ice seed, why does Lao Tzu spend money to buy a rotten stone every time. When he said "stupid", he meant his friend, but the man didn't refute it, just looked at him with a smile, and kept saying the words "stupid people have stupid blessings".
Gray hair is a little depressed, he has been about to lose two million since he gambled on stones, fortunately, his family has a big business, and his parents didn't ask specifically, just told him not to be too addicted, and it is a bad thing to lose his mind after all.
"Okay Zheng Shao, how are you going to open it?" Li Xiaoming saw the young man named Danzi take out half of the white chalk from his pocket and make two strokes on the rough stone in the air, Li Xiaoming estimated that this should be the route to draw the cutting.
In addition to choosing the right rough stone in the gambling stone, the route of cutting and polishing is also very important, there have been unlucky eggs who have sold this stone cheaply because the cut is too shallow, and there is no jade, but the person who takes over the plate is ruthless and directly comes to a deep cut, and it turns out that there is a piece of the most expensive glass jadeite hidden inside, and there are countless cases of this kind.
But if everything is deep and the jadeite is cut, then the value will be greatly reduced.
"There's so much to learn here. Li Xiaoming shook his head, thanks to his clairvoyance, otherwise he would never have set foot in gambling stones, otherwise he would not know how much tuition he had to pay to really call himself a stone gambler.
Gray Fur gritted his teeth, "Open the window first." β
Seeing this, Ling Yue explained: "Opening the window is equivalent to grinding off a small piece of the rough stone, to see if there is any material in it, if there is, then the stone will rise; β
"I see. Li Xiaoming nodded, "So don't you basically lose anything in this way?" I didn't sell some at a reduced price, and I sold it directly when I opened it up at a higher price." β
Ling Yue smiled, "Generally, those who open the window are at a loss, and they want to continue to open it when it is green, but it turns out to be dark; β
"There is no end to man's desires. In the end, Ling Yue summed up, pulled Li Xiaoming, and said, "Cut it immediately." β
Li Xiaoming said in his heart that there was jade in this stone, and he saw it, but he didn't know the type and value of this jadeite, but he could only say it in his heart, and he would never say it.
Danzi put the stone on the cutter, and Gray Mao took the initiative to go up and hold the stone, and Danzi was grateful, but he was worried that he couldn't find anyone to hold the stone.
"Less ink, hurry up, I think I've had some luck lately, and I should be able to win a little. The gray-haired young man was a little apprehensive, although these tens of thousands of yuan were just pocket money for him, but when it came to gambling stones, he was always a little nervous.
Danzi quickly started the special saw for cutting the rough stone, and meticulously cut a knife on the darkest corner of the stone, a rather thin stone chip fell in response, Gray Mao quickly lowered his head and picked up the stone chip, and his two eyes almost came up, just to quickly know how his luck was today.
Because of his clairvoyant eyes, Li Xiaoming knew that the place where the jade was hiding was completely different from the place where Zheng Shao cut it, and according to this Zheng Shao's cutting method, I am afraid that it would take a morning to see the color he wanted.
Sure enough, Zheng Shao casually picked up a bottle of water and poured it on the stone chips, and then leaned his face up to look at it carefully, and after a few seconds, his face was full of frustration, and he threw the stone chips casually.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoming was already prepared in his heart, this gray hair is estimated to be selling this stone cheaply soon, unless he really doesn't believe in evil and grinds this stone for a morning.
Second, third, fourth......
Smack!
I don't know how many knives later, Gray Mao slammed a piece of stone to the ground, and then stepped on two feet with hatred, then took a deep breath and said, "Danzi, don't cut it, I don't want this stone, just throw it to Lao Tzu." β
Danzi was stunned, according to Fuhang's rules, if there is such a gambling guest, then Fuhang will directly cut the stone in half, in case of jadeite, it will be divided equally with the guest, in case it doesn't come out, then a piece of Fei stone, just throw it away.
"Wait, can you sell this stone?" Li Xiaoming, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke.
Ling Yue was startled, this person is not in his normal mind, others have almost cut the stone a few times smaller, and they have opened a lot of holes in it, but they haven't even seen a little bit of green, if you want to be a pick-up man, you must at least pick up a stone that you have a little hope for, right?
Li Xiaoming naturally didn't just understand what Ling Yue was thinking, he thought very simply, since this stone was gone, then he should be able to buy this stone at a very cheap price, anyway, he had already seen that there was jadeite inside, no matter how bad the quality of the jadeite in it was, it should not be a loss.
"You want to buy it?" Zheng Shaozheng was upset, and suddenly heard that someone was going to pick up his scrap plate, and he was also stunned in his heart, and asked: "You can't see that this stone is wasted?
Li Xiaoming smiled awkwardly, and when he cut it, he knew who was the fool, "The first time I played gambling stones, I thought that since you don't want it, then I should be able to buy it very cheaply." β
Gray Mao put a cigarette in his mouth, fiddled with the lighter and said, "Since you want to buy it, then 10,000, this stone will be yours." β
"Huh. The corners of Li Xiaoming's mouth tugged, "Then you better throw it away." β
"Okay, okay, you name a price. Gray Mao also knew that this was his lion's mouth, and he would buy a broken stone for 10,000 yuan, unless he was really a fool.
"Two thousand. Li Xiaoming said a price.
"Forget it, when you make a friend, this stone is yours. Zheng Shao took a deep breath of his cigarette, and as a result, Li Xiaoming handed over a stack of money, and put it in his pocket without counting.
"Are there so many rich children in this world?" Li Xiaoming thought with some depression, first Zhang Man, the successor of a large company, and then met Ling Yue, who opened a hotel for 10,000 yuan a night when he came out for an internship, and now there is a gray-haired Zheng Shao who has lost 30,000 yuan and does not change his color.
"Since you can't be a rich second generation, it's good to be a rich generation. Li Xiaoming picked up the tattered stone on the ground and put it on the cutting machine.
