Chapter 82: Gambling Stones
The next day, Tagawa said goodbye to his parents and returned to the capital. When he went home this time, he came quietly and left quietly, and the neighbors didn't know much, and the village chief Wang Dayong and the secretary Tian Long didn't know, and when they heard the news the next day and found Tian Chuan's house, Tian Chuan had already returned to the capital and visited the antique market in Panjiayuan.
Remembering the "way to make money" that came to mind last night, after Tian Chuan arrived in the capital today, he didn't go home, and went directly to the antique market.
Like last time, he parked his car outside the market, carried a backpack, and walked into the bustling market. Roadside stalls and shops are stocked with all kinds of antiques or antique-like things. Tagawa was not interested in the more popular porcelain and bronze ware, and he didn't understand it at all, so he skipped these stalls and only looked at calligraphy, paintings, and artworks.
Villain books are a new category of collecting, but Tagawa doesn't understand the artistry of this thing at all.
Looking at the stalls one by one, I didn't find any valuable calligraphy and painting works at all, and I couldn't help but be discouraged. Thinking about it, where are there so many leaks waiting for me to pick up, I should be distracted, and I just turn around.
Suddenly, a shop on the side of the road caught Tagawa's attention. The name of this shop is "Pinshiyuan", and it deals in the business of jade and jade. The business is very hot, and there are many people coming in and out.
Tagawa walked into the store to see if there was any jade he liked, and if it was suitable, he could buy two pieces and put them at home.
After entering the store, I found that the store is divided into two floors, the first floor sells jadeite rough stones, which is often referred to as gambling stones, and the second floor is where finished jade jewelry is sold. Most of the people who come to the store come to see the jadeite rough.
In his previous life, Tagawa had never played gambling stones, but he had read a lot of plots about gambling stones in novels. As for the jadeite rough, he has seen it a few times, and they are all bought by others as treasures or exhibited in museums.
It is now the mid-nineties, and the jadeite craze in later generations has just risen, and it has not yet received widespread attention from ordinary people, and the price of jadeite is still hovering at a relatively low price. Only a few people in the industry have heard of the gambling stone.
Because of curiosity, he walked around the store and saw that the rough stones in the store were divided into four categories, and the best performer occupied a shelf, and in the innermost part of the store, there were more than a dozen stones on the shelf, ranging in size from fists to buckets, most of them were cut into the gaps, and the cut windows revealed more or less green. Each piece has an individual number and price tag, ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million.
The second category is also placed on the shelf, with or without opening the window, and the unified price is 2,000 yuan per kilogram.
The third category has a large piece on the ground in front of the store, and the price is 500 yuan a kilogram, which is the largest category.
In addition, there is a pile of rough stones next to the door, the size is generally not big, the small one is like an egg, the big one is like a sea bowl, the price is the lowest, 800 yuan a piece. It is precisely this pile of stones that surrounds the most people.
Tagawa looked at each area and felt that the more expensive the rough stone, the more green the surface was, and it was all dark green scar-like things, which may be the moss mentioned in the novel. Rough stones, which are cheaper, are becoming more and more like ordinary stones.
Tian Chuan was a little tempted, why don't you buy two pieces to play with? Anyway, it's not too expensive, and it's good to put it at home as an ornament. I was struggling with how to choose, when I heard someone next to me ask: "Boss, can you solve the stone?"
Tagawa turned his head and saw that it was a young man about thirty years old, asking questions next to the 51-kilogram rough stone. A young man who looked like a man in the shop's robe replied, "You can solve the stone, but the shopkeeper is not here today, so you have to do it yourself." ”
The young customer didn't care, and pointed to a rough stone at his feet and said, "Okay, weigh this one." "After weighing, a total of 37 kilograms, 18,500 yuan. Subsequently, he chose one of the 501 kilograms and 3,010 kilograms of rough stones, spending a total of more than 100,000 yuan.
Cutting machines and angle grinders for calcifying are placed at the entrance of the store. The guy helped connect the water pipes, and the customer operated the cutter to cut the first rough stone. I saw the roar of the machine, the stone chips flying, and after a while, the rough stone was split in two. The onlookers all looked in, only to see that the stone was still a stone, and there was not even a shadow of jadeite.
The man did not give up, and cut the two halves of the rough twice, but there was still nothing, so he threw the gravel aside and began to cut the second piece.
In less than an hour, the three rough stones turned into gravel blocks, and there was no jadeite at all. The young man looked at it too, washed the stone foam from his hands under the hose, and left.
As a result, many people who watched the excitement dispersed.
Tagawa returned to the shop and selected the ones that were pleasing to the eye among several types of rough stones. He wanted to find two pieces that were more beautiful and looked more comfortable at home. But these rough stones are simply irregular stone eggs, and Tagawa's request is really difficult for them.
Later, in the original stone of 800 yuan, he saw a long strip, like a thin sheet, more than 20 centimeters in length, 10 centimeters wide, one end thin and one thick, the thick end has three centimeters, and the thin end is only a little more than one centimeter. The surface is gray, slightly reddish, and looks like a cow's tongue.
Tian Chuan felt that this piece was not bad, so he grabbed this piece in his hand, and settled the account with a buddy, and was about to go to see other rough stones, but when he turned around, a big fat man next to him happened to trip over something and hit him. Tian Chuan instinctively stretched out his hand to help him, but the "cow tongue" rough stone in his hand was touched by the fat man, fell to the ground, and happened to hit another rough stone, breaking into two from the middle.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The fat man apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, a little gadget. Tagawa agreed, bent down to pick up the broken rough stone, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and muttered, "No, my luck will be so good?"
I saw that the fracture of the original stone, except for a thin layer of gray stone skin of less than two millimeters, all showed a dazzling rose red, shining in the light.
The eyes of the people around him were all drawn to it. The guy was stunned and stunned, and it took him a long time to react, and shouted: "Glass seed, glass seed red fei!" Then he turned his head and shouted upstairs: "Boss!
Tian Chuan grabbed the two broken rough stones and jumped back a big step, handed the two stones to his left hand, stretched out his right palm, and forced the crowd to gather around with a trick of "lazy clothes", saying: "The stone is mine, don't get too close." Everyone was taken by Tian Chuan's momentum and kung fu, and they all took half a step back.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came down the stairs and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The guy walked over and told the boss how things had happened. The boss nodded, walked over to Tian Chuan and said, "This little brother, can you show me the stone in your hand?"
Tian Chuan glanced at the boss vigilantly, hesitated slightly, and said: "The things are a little valuable, we are not familiar with each other, I am a little worried, you wait for me to make a call first." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called Qi Yong: "Brother Yong, I am now in the Pinshi Garden of Panjiayuan, and I have just opened a piece of glass red jade, you can bring a few people to support me, hurry up." ”
Then he called Qi Gang: "Second brother, in addition to antiques, calligraphy and paintings, are you familiar with jadeite? I am in the Pinshi Garden of Panjiayuan, and a piece of glass has just opened a piece of red jade, if you are interested, you can come over." What? You're not familiar with this? Forget it, I'll sell it to someone else. Don't worry, I just called Brother Yong. ”
Putting down the phone, Tagawa said to the boss, "Boss, my friend will be there in a few minutes." The current situation is not suitable for business talks, so let's leave each other's contact information for a while, and I'll find a suitable place to look at the stones. After all, it's in your store, and as long as the price is about the same, the thing will definitely help you first. ”
The boss frowned, a little hesitant what to do. He is also a famous gangster in this area, and he is always unwilling to let good things slip away from his eyes. Just as he was struggling, a siren sounded outside the door, and a police car came to the door, followed by three policemen walking in.
The boss knew these policemen, and the one who walked in front was Hong Weiguo, the director of the nearby Panjiayuan Police Station, followed by two policemen from the police station. Without waiting for the boss to speak, Hong Weiguo asked, "Which one is Mr. Tian Chuan?" Director Qi asked us to come over first, and he will be there in a moment. ”
Tagawa stepped forward and said, "I am." What do you call you, comrade? I'm sorry for you. ”
"Mr. Tian is welcome. It is our responsibility to protect the safety of people's lives and property. Director Hong said, and said to the boss: "Tong Si'er, you have to be well-behaved in business, and if you want to make trouble, you will regret it." ”
Tian Chuan hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with Boss Tong, I was panicked with my valuable things, so I called Brother Yong." ”
Seeing that Tian Chuan was fine, everyone was relieved, and the boss Tong Si'er let Tian Chuan and several policemen go to the office on the second floor for tea.
Tian Chuan called Qi Yong again and said that there was nothing to do, and if he was busy, he didn't need to rush over. Qi Yong said that he was almost there, so he made an appointment to meet in the store.
Tagawa remembered the promise he had just made to the shopkeeper and exchanged business cards with the shopkeeper. Tong Si'er's big name is Tong Shouye, a descendant of the Manchu nobles, who has been in this area since he was a child, and has a lot of fame for fighting and killing.
A few minutes later, Qi Yong arrived with a man in civilian clothes. Tian Chuan said a few polite words to him, thanked Director Hong and the other two policemen in person, and left with Qi Yong.
Out of the "Pinshi Garden", Qi Yong said: "Fortunately, you kid is clever, Tong Si'er, this kid is not a good bird, if you hadn't called me, you would definitely not have been able to get out of his shop." Then he said: "Anyway, how can your luck be so good, you can always meet this good thing of making a fortune." ”
Tian Chuan smiled and said, "No way, I have to save money to pay back to my second brother." Then he told Qi Yong the whole process.
In the end, he said: "Actually, I really don't know how to gamble at all, I wanted to buy two pieces that look pleasing to the eye at home, and I bought it when I saw that this piece was okay, but I didn't expect it to be broken." ”
