Episode 100 "Hoodoo"

"Come on, I'm particularly interested. ”

Kowloon itself likes this type of stone, so there is no reason not to listen.

Mr. Wei cleared his throat: "This stone came out of the water in 2002.

At that time, the boss Ah Qiang found Huang Hongan from Jifa Village, Yantan Town, and asked him to partner with him to find a boat to fish for stones.

Huang Hongan is a local and familiar with the road, so he quickly found the boat, so on January 4, 2002, Ah Qiang, Huang Hongan, and two water ghosts took a boat to a place less than one kilometer away from Yantan Dam.

"The two water spirits kept going into the water and coming out of the water, and finally, they found a strange stone.

"When I salvaged it, it looked like a lizard in a ravine, and it was colorful, and the size was 180/108/45cm, which was too big.

"Everyone was amazed, this is so rare, I have been fishing for stones for several years, and I have never seen such a strange thing.

So the four of them began to appraise, the water ghost estimated 1.2 million, they have experience, naturally the price is up, the owner Ah Qiang is not happy, the price is so high, there are too many risks, in case it can't be sold, it will be a loss, so he put the price down, estimated 500,000, and finally compromised, estimated 880,000.

The water ghost was very happy, immediately got 440,000 in cash, and left satisfied.

Later, Ah Qiang named it "Pangu", and put it at home at a price of 8 million.

Ah Qiang is not in a hurry to sell, he knows that his stone is definitely a fine product, and there will always be someone who will discern the treasure. ”

Until one night in March 2003, a mysterious stone merchant came in a special car, read "Pangu" carefully several times, Ah Qiang offered 8 million, the stone merchant bargained to 2 million, several bargains, and finally sold for 2.28 million.

"The stone merchant gave a deposit of 800,000 yuan, and the rest of the money was paid off after Ah Qiang sent the stone to Liuzhou.

Ah Qiang and Huang Hongan rented a pickup truck and sent the stones to Liuzhou, where the stone merchants paid more than 1.48 million yuan and invited guests to dinner.

"The stone merchant said: 'This stone, not only this price, if you insist on it at that time, I also want 5 million, in order to express gratitude, I will send you a car of 100,000 yuan, and it will be more convenient to send stones back and forth in the future.'" '

At this time, Ah Qiang and Huang Hongan were completely stunned, and they had a sense of loss that they had never felt before, and they still regret it.

The stone merchant changed its name to "Pangu" to "Candle Dragon", which is now valued at more than 50 million yuan, and refuses to sell it. ”

Who is that mysterious stone merchant? Mr. Wei deliberately sold Guanzi, how could Kowloon have patience, urging Mr. Wei to speak quickly.

Mr. Wei laughed and said: "This is Mr. Gao Zhulong, a famous stone collector who grew up in Liuzhou, who bought the strange stones of the Hongshui River with a lot of money to create the Chinese Strange Stone Museum, and "Candle Dragon" has become the treasure of the town museum. ”

Another story of wealth, I used to see Wang Tianran's story of making a fortune, thinking it was just an individual phenomenon, but now it seems that as long as the stone is good enough, maybe the next one to get rich is you.

Mr. Wei continued to introduce.

Since the big fossils became famous, there have been many local stone farmers who have started the business of fishing and selling stones.

The publicity of the large fossil is in place, which naturally attracts the praise and favor of GX and domestic and foreign stone lovers and collectors, and they compete to buy and collect.

For a time, the value of large fossils was on the rise, and no matter how big or small, they were all taken and looted.

At present, a large fossil weighing 20 or 30 catties can range from a few hundred yuan to a thousand yuan or even more than 10,000 yuan.

Tons of large fossils are sold for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

As for those 120 tons of boulders, the price is as high as one million yuan.

The big fossil is a beautiful scenery of the rock beach, a cash cow for local stone farmers, and it provides new employment and means of making a fortune for the locals.

Originally, the relatively poor farmers in the rocky beach area of the Hongshui River, because of the appearance of large fossils, many people became rich overnight, and all the people or stone merchants who quarried and sold stones in the rocky beach were all rich.

Soon, the car arrived at the Dahua Yantan Hydropower Station, and Mr. Wei hurriedly parked the car and hurriedly walked to the stone farmer's house......

When I arrived at Shi Nong's house, I was dumbfounded, and there were two more people in Shi Nong's house at this time.

Shi Nong hurriedly came over to say hello: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, when I just called you, these two Shi friends also heard it, they have to come to my house to see the stone, they are also my friends, from TJ, I can't refuse." ”

Isn't this actually raising the price? This stone friend, I really don't know what to say about you, Mr. Wei sighed, no longer silent, let them choose first.

This is the rule of the stone world, first come, first served, and when talking about the price, the latter must not interject, only when the previous business collapses, they have a chance.

This TJ Shiyou is tall, speaks TJ dialect, and the two of them introduced each other, claiming to be surnamed Sun, and even offended: "Mr. Wei, I'm really sorry, it's not easy for me to come all the way, you can take care of it." ”

After speaking, he squatted down and looked at the stone carefully.

This stone weighs about 100 kilograms, the first time I saw this stone, Mr. Sun saw at a glance that the stone surface was like a relief part, showing a very realistic image of the old dragon king, as if he was praying for a good year, focused and sacred.

After some bargaining with the stone seller, he finally pocketed it for 18,000 yuan.

After Mr. Sun made the deal, he laughed in front of Mr. Wei: "I named this stone 'Pray for the New Year', and I want to regard it as the treasure of my museum, today's trip is too worthwhile, everyone, goodbye." ”

After saying that, the two walked away.

Shi Nong walked over with an embarrassed face, shouted sorry to Mr. Wei, and said that there was another important reason for letting Mr. Sun see this stone.

"Say, I'll listen. ”

Mr. Wei tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction, and he came all the way to come hard, but when he encountered the empty city, he couldn't stand it.

Shi Nong glanced at Jiulong, and stopped talking.

"Let's say, Xiao Huang is my friend, not an outsider. ”

Shi Nong had no choice but to confess truthfully.

It turned out that this stone was salvaged from the deepest part of the Hongshui River at 60 meters not long ago, and it was discovered by an "old water ghost" who was quite famous in the local area and experienced in a hundred battles.

Unfortunately, the "old water ghost", although he scooped up the stones, died on the spot because he floated too fast and died on the spot.

According to local custom, the stone is called a "hoodoo" and should be thrown back into the water.

Shi Nong saw that the picture of this stone was good, so he told the family of the "old water ghost": "People can't be resurrected after death, it's a pity that it's still gone, I will pay 3,000 yuan, can I do it?"

The family of the "old water ghost" was said to be moved, so they gave him this stone, and the family was not rich anyway, so it was regarded as the last wealth left by the "old water ghost" to the family.

Shi Nong notified Mr. Wei as soon as possible, but he was also a little weak in his heart, it was not good to deceive Mr. Wei in this way, and he happened to be heard by Mr. Sun, so he pushed the boat down the river and promised to show them.

He wasn't sure if the other party wanted this "hoodoo", so he didn't call Mr. Wei again not to come.

"Aren't you a cheater? Give me Mr. Wang's phone number, quick!"

Mr. Wei's face turned pale and ordered Shi Nong.
