Chapter 166: The Great Gambling Stone I (Supplement 20+21)

In the time, perhaps because of the reason for opening the chatterbox, Mr. Hong fell and exchanged a lot. For example, what kind of jadeite rough stone, what kind of jadeite texture, color, water head and so on are easy to cut, although they are more common, but there is also some interest. During the period, it was more or less mixed with some examples of Mr. Hong's own participation in gambling stones, which made people can't help but admire Mr. Hong even more after listening to it.

In particular, the pile of jade rough slices on the display platform in front of him, which is called 'stone diary' in the mouth of Mr. Hong, is not it a witness to the legend of gambling stones? There is the joy of getting rich overnight, and there is also the helplessness of millions of yuan being wasted after a knife is slashed.

In Wang Biao's very vivid words: It's not that these people don't look down on hundreds of thousands of millions of money, and when they cut it down, they can frown without frowning. Rather, I have experienced too much of this situation, and I feel numb. If every time you cut down, you need to frown and lose your face, maybe your brow will strike.

It's like Mr. Hong's 'stone diary' is recorded: he once partnered with several villagers in Yangmei Village to buy a piece of jadeite rough worth tens of millions of yuan, and after cutting it with one knife, more than 10 million yuan became more than 1 million yuan, and in an instant, the price of jadeite rough fell by nearly 10 million, and although Mr. Hong lost more than 2 million yuan, but looking at a few villagers standing around, although some only invested hundreds of thousands, they were almost about to go bankrupt, and the sense of sadness and powerlessness was really fresh in people's memories.

But that's the gambling stone, isn't it?

Therefore, in the end, I always feel that many people in Yangmei do not participate in gambling stones, but are only engaged in jadeite processing-related industries, which is really a very good choice. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some family background and the company was formalized, I'm afraid he wouldn't have participated in the gambling stone industry.

As for what Mr. Hong said before, the good show of the evening is naturally that Mr. Hong himself is going to cut the stone. The target is a piece of jadeite rough that was bought at the auction of jadeite rough stones from Yangon, Myanmar last year, which cost 18 million yuan. If Jia Rudao and his entourage, if they are interested, they can come to watch it at night.

In this regard, Jia Rudao naturally readily agreed. Jia Rudao only had the mentality of wanting to learn, and went to see what was going on, Wang Biao was for the sake of the excitement and happiness of the woman surnamed Liu, as for Li Shiyun, even if she owned a jade jewelry store, if she wanted to talk about the cut stone of the jadeite rough worth tens of millions, she really hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Even when she said goodbye to Mr. Hong, Li Shiyun's face was still flooded with a look of expectation.

This can't help but make Jia Yidao imagine speechlessly, if he takes Li Shiyun to his basement and casually opens a piece of jade rough worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, what kind of expression will Li Shiyun have on his face? Presumably, it must be very exciting, right?

Of course. The idea. It's just a thought; Forget it. In terms of the current relationship between the two. Jia Rudao would not implement this idea.

"Why is it that the old lady has flowers on her face, is it worth looking at all the time?" Li Shiyun glanced at Jia Rudao. But the hand moves on the ground. But he quickly caressed his face, although he was sure that there would be nothing on his face. But imaginatively. It doesn't mean that there is no movement in the hand. That seems to be inadvertent. But with a little bit of charming. Jia Yidao looked speechless.

Could it be that Li Shiyun often makes some ambiguous movements. Don't you think about his feelings?

But Li Shiyun seems to have seen Jia's embarrassment. also deliberately smiled at Jia Rudao. Jia Rudao touched his nose. pondering: Forget it. Can't afford to mess with. Can't I hide?

Keep up with Wang Biaodi. He walked out into the street. Only behind him. Li Shiyun laughed very comfortably. ……

Of course. Move like this. It's easy to say. Under Li Shiyun's deliberate cover-up. It feels a bit of a natural fit. It doesn't feel contrived in the slightest. That. Jia Rudao could only run away in a 'panic'. Even when we used to talk on the phone. Li Shiyun is often so teasing Jia. Merely. At that time. It's just in her glutinous voice.

Now, it's just a different way. However, the effect received is the same. It's just that Li Shiyun always felt that after this trip to Guangdong, she faced Jia Nidao's mentality, and unconsciously, just like the way she teased, she also began to change?

The streets of Yangmei are not prosperous, except for landmark-like buildings, there are few outstanding buildings, which are basically similar to ordinary small counties. Of course, if you consider that Yangmi is a village, it can be regarded as outstanding. The biggest feature is Jade Street. The archway that clearly stands on the street, spanning both sides of the street, and has a banner that reads 'Yudu Yangmei', is particularly conspicuous.

Jia Rudao and his group of four naturally came here after leaving Mr. Hong's company.

Even if you don't gamble on stones, it is a good choice to take a look at the shops on both sides of the street, learn about Yangmei's jade carvings, or even kill time. You know, it's still a little early before dinner.

Of course, people who gamble on stones generally don't rush early, except for ghost markets. Especially in places like Yangmei, the afternoon or evening is the golden time. The so-called 'no color under the lamp' in the gambling stone industry, that is

Amateur. The real gambling jadeite rough stones, their owners naturally create a favorable environment for themselves. Even if you have to go to see the goods during the day, people will make a dark little dark room for you to stay in.

As a result, in Yangmei Village, compared to the people who gamble on stones, the time period at night will begin to make trouble. This is also the reason why Mr. Hong chose to cut stones at night.

While shuttling through the jade shop on the side of the street, while listening to Wang Biao, introducing the true value of these jade jewelry, as well as the production characteristics, Jia Yidao felt that it seemed that at this moment, Wang Biao had the potential to be an excellent tour guide. As for Li Shiyun and the woman surnamed Liu, they showed much higher interest than Jia Yidao at this time.

The woman surnamed Liu likes to ponder those exquisite carvings, and Li Shiyun likes the delicate ornaments themselves, such as price, such as texture, who makes her sell jadeite products?

In this regard, Jia Nidao also took a general look at the fancy varieties of Yangmei jadeite products, and there were very many of them, almost every store, there are jade dragon belt hooks, purple jade Guanyin, jade bracelets, rings, ring faces, jade pendants, antique birds and beasts, flowers and jade carvings and flawless white jade, etc., it seems that as long as Jia Nidao has the impression, there are all here. What is not in the impression also occasionally appears here. Moreover, what is very satisfying to Jia Yidao is the finished jadeite product on the side, which takes the route of fine and elegant. Although in terms of material, sometimes it is not very outstanding, but its carving process is really a bit of a feeling that is better than seeing it.

'Yang Mei jade is superb.

This kind of thing is not a joke.

However, when Wang Biao accompanied the surname Liu with a souvenir, Jia Yidao tried to walk into a small family-style workshop and asked how much it cost to ask someone to carve a jade ornament, and the hostess of the household pointed to the price list hanging on the wall very casually. When Jia Rudao saw it, he was shocked.

Hundreds or thousands, that's all less. If the jadeite raw materials are good and the carving requirements are many, people can directly pay a five-figure manual fee. And in the face of Jia Yidao's surprise, the master's reaction was very flat, almost accustomed. Jia Rudao couldn't help but ask Li Shiyun: "At such a price, will you take the jadeite raw materials in your store and ask someone to carve them?"

"Well, if it's used to make the treasure of the town store, maybe. After speaking, Li Shiyun was happy herself, and then said to Jia Rudao, "If you are too expensive, then go to Sihui, it will be much cheaper over there." Generally speaking, the carving over there is a matter of quantity. For example, when people ask for carving, they will say, how many pieces can be carved in a month! People will say, how much do you pay, you can help me complete this carving in a year. …… See the difference, right?"

Jia Rudao touched his nose, then looked at the photos of some of the jadeite products originally carved by the owner taken out by the hostess in the workshop, and wondered in his heart: Yes, this carver is indeed worth the price.

Maybe I can use a master who can use the same skills in the future. Jia Rudao pondered in his heart, so he asked: "Boss, the craftsman here, usually does he go to other places to work?"

"What, do you have good ingredients in your hands?" the hostess asked, and when she saw Jia Rudao nodded, she continued, "In this case, it depends on the situation." Under normal circumstances, my family will not go far. In normal times, he still has a lot of work to do at home, and, to be honest, he earns a lot of money, which is enough for our family to live. If you go far away, not to mention the time, the tools or something, are easy to use, and if you want to go again, it is more troublesome. Young man, if you really want to carve jadeite, you might as well bring the raw materials here. Engraving and polishing together, when the time comes, I will give you a little cheaper. ”

"Well, if you want to bring something here, let me think about it again. Jia Rudao pulled Li Shiyun, and the two withdrew.

There was also a rather enthusiastic voice from the hostess behind him: "Young man, if you are worried about safety, you might as well go out and inquire casually, the reputation of our side is very secure." ……”

After leaving the workshop, seeing Jia Yidao's appearance was a little frustrated, Li Shiyun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Jia, tell me, sister, are you really going to carve out the jadeite raw materials yourself, and then take them out to sell? …… Are you going to take it to the auction house?"

"Well, I just have this idea, just ask first. Jia Rudao responded casually.

However, after processing the jadeite raw materials, even if they are sent to the auction house, in addition to deducting the share earned by the auction company, it is better than selling jadeite materials like Jia Yidao now, to make money, right?

Xu thought of this, and Li Shiyun stopped persuading Jia Yidao. In Li Shiyun's view, this is not a long-term solution. Can it still be sent to the auction one basket at a time? At most, it is just a few pieces.

Seeing Wang Biao and the woman surnamed Liu, it seemed that they had already chosen a souvenir and were walking towards this side, Jia Rudao turned his head and asked, "Sister Li, do you want to give it too."

piece, keep it as a souvenir?"

"Okay. Li Shiyun agreed very simply, but her face was red, and she explained with some weakness, "However, there are a lot of jadeites in your sister and my shop." After you bought it for me, didn't you worry that I would sell it if I changed hands?"

"Well, in that case, I'll buy the cheapest one. Or, let's owe it first. lest you earn too much at the time. Jia Rudao smiled, and immediately turned around to keep his body away from Li Shiyun.

"Begging. Li Shiyun waved her pink fist, and after Wang Biao and the two approached, she put it away again. However, I still felt a slight disappointment for what Jia Nidao said in the end. However, this is fine, owing is better than nothing, okay? Li Shiyun thought so simply.

I just don't know what Jia Yidao's expression would be if he knew Li Shiyun's thoughts. It makes him seem to be so stingy.

Subsequently, the four of them walked down again, occasionally or on the ground, and they could also meet a few foreigners on Jade Street. Mostly businessmen in a hurry. The purpose of his coming to Yangmei is self-evident. The popularity of jadeite is indeed slightly worse than that at home and abroad. However, this does not mean that there are no abroad. Especially in places like Singapore and Japan, the love for jadeite is no less than that of Chinese people.

At the end of Jade Street, there is a large small square. Originally, Jia Rudao, who was going to go back after walking this street, suddenly appeared, in the square in front, there were a lot of people around, and from time to time, there were calls mixed with painful cries. This is very different from the atmosphere on Jade Street.

"What, are you curious, want to go up and see, what's going on?" Wang Biao asked with a smile.

"yes, is there something wrong with that?" Jia seemed curious. When he said this, it didn't look like Wang Biao's style.

"No problem. However, I'm grinding, let's not go over as well. Otherwise, ,......" Wang Biao shook his head and said, "Otherwise, after seeing it, you may have to waste a lot of money." It's a big scam that makes people impulsive. Those who have weak self-control cannot withstand temptation. As he spoke, he looked at the two women beside him.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? The woman surnamed Liu muttered angrily, and then replied very confidently, "Don't worry, this time, I definitely won't make a move." Last time, I lost more than 20,000 yuan for nothing. As long as you can endure yourself, don't make a move, and stay away from me, I guess, I won't lose money. But, Xiao Jia, I guess you'll definitely break the bank by then. ”

"Oh, that makes me even more curious. Jia Rudao glanced at Li Shi, who was also curious, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, whether it's a waste or not, since we're here, we have to go over and have a look." ”

In this regard, Wang Biao also seemed to deliberately not explain, as if he was waiting to watch a good show, smiled, and followed. Speaking of which, if there is something really interesting, even if it is a loss of a few dollars, Wang Biao will not mind, right?

When we got closer, the noise became more obvious. The crowd of onlookers surrounded the entire small square with three floors inside and three layers outside. In the crowd, it seems that you can still hear that in the center of the crowd, there are still people holding small trumpets, talking quickly. It's just that a few people on the side are also discussing topics such as 'stones' and 'losses', and Jia Rudao doesn't hear them clearly.

This feeling is like the circus that Jia Rudao saw roaming around the country when he was a child, and every time he went to a place, he would open up his territory and perform to earn a certain fee.

Is it really an event?

Jia Rudao was about to squeeze in to take a look, and then looked at Li Shiyun beside him. I could have squeezed in, but what about Li Shiyun? Do you want a woman like her to be in the crowd, squeezing around? Thinking about it, Jia Yidao felt awkward. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Biao and the two followed.

Jia Rudao and Wang Biao signaled, opened the road in front, and shouted a few words in their mouths: "Let one go, let one go." ……”

It took a lot of effort for the four of them to finally squeeze into the crowd.

I saw that in the square, a thick red rope surrounded a field of about 100 square meters, and there were more than 100 stones of different sizes piled up inside. At first glance, Jia Rudao looked a bit like a jade rough. Moreover, this is a place like Yangmi. This is even more likely.

It's just that the stones all over the ground really want to be said to be jade rough stones, and it gives Jia Yidao a very awkward feeling. It's not that there is anything special about the jadeite rough. It's the stones in front of you, how you look at them, how they look like the worst waste materials in the jadeite rough. If it were usual, I would have thrown it in the corner of the processing workshop and waited for it to be processed in large quantities, right?

He turned his head to look at Wang Biao, revealing an inquiring look. Wang Biao didn't speak, but pointed with his finger.

Following the direction of his finger, Jia Rudao saw that on the side of the two relatively tall stones, there were two bamboo poles tied, and a banner was pulled in the middle, on which were written three big characters: Big Gambling Stone
