Chapter 160 Buffett in the Gambling Stone Circle
In fact, Shi Lao Wang and Zhang Tianyuan didn't have much to talk about, he was already very tired after getting off the plane, and he was going to rest after coming to the hotel, but later he heard that there was a person in the café who was boasting about jade things, so he wanted to go and see, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Tianyuan.
After returning to the room, Shi Laowang took a shower and went to bed first, while Xu Gang chatted with Zhang Tianyuan, Liu Hao, and Li Xiao, all of whom were young people, so naturally there were many words.
"By the way, Gangzi, when you come back this time, will you still go to Treasure Island?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"No, the master said that he was going to live in the mainland for a while, and after this gambling stone conference, he would go to Nandu to participate in the sugar and wine party, his person was as good as his life, and after the sugar and wine meeting, he would still stay in the country for a period of time, mainly to deal with some of his company's affairs. ”
"Boss Shi also has a company?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense, can he have a company for the old man? Xu Gang said.
I see, no wonder he was interested in this stone gambling conference. Zhang Tianyuan nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, he came in person for another purpose, that is, to rectify some chaos in mainland companies. He set up an agent here, is one of his cousins, his cousin saw that he made money gambling stones, so he also had this mind, and specially invited a gambling stone consultant who seemed to be very famous for this, originally thought that he could make some money, who knew that Lu Dao even lost all his money, recently someone reported to the master that there was a problem with the company's accounts, so the master had to come in person. Xu Gang lowered his voice and said.
"Speaking of which, then his cousin also came to Yan City?"
"It's coming, saying that this time it's going to be desperate. In any case, I have to use this gambling stone conference to turn the book, but I don't think it's possible. Luck accounts for a large part of the gambling stones. Although the advisor will play a certain role, the role is also very limited, and even the master has lost a lot of money. Xu Gang said again.
"It seems that this gambling stone conference is really everyone, and it is much more lively than the one on Treasure Island. ”
"No, otherwise Master wouldn't have come. Xu Gang nodded.
"Mengxun and Yingzi, are they all right?" Zhang Tianyuan asked suddenly.
"You just remembered to care about them. Maybe it's today, the two of them will go to the United States together, saying that they are going to a university for further study, what's the matter, didn't Mengxun inform you?" Xu Gang asked.
"I didn't ...... You wait. I just felt like my phone was vibrating, and I forgot about it because it was so exciting. Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone at this time, but saw that there were several missed calls and text messages on it.
Two of the missed calls were from Boss Xiao, while the other four were from Liu Mengxun, and three were from Ouyang Xiaodan. There are three text messages, two of which are from Liu Mengxun, saying that he is going to the United States for a while. asked Zhang Tianyuan to take care of himself, and warned him not to be distracted.
The other one is Ouyang Xiaodan's, saying that he is ready to leave to return to the imperial capital, and hopes that Zhang Tianyuan will look for her after going to the imperial capital in the future.
See these missed calls and text messages. Zhang Tianyuan had a headache, he hadn't changed his stinky problem, and he used to have few friends. There is less contact, so it shuts down frequently. I don't turn off my phone now, but I will adjust the vibration of my phone when I drink tea or rest. It's hard to find anyone looking for him.
He hurriedly called Liu Mengxun, but he couldn't get through.
"Probably on the plane, you kid is miserable this time, wait a while and call her. Xu Gang gloated.
"you, there's nothing good to say. ”
At this time, Liu Hao couldn't help but ask, "Who is Mengxun?"
"Mengxun is Tianyuan's girlfriend, and Yingzi is my wife. Xu Gang replied with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Xi, you hide it deep enough, you don't say a word to your buddies when you have a girlfriend, treat me as an outsider. Liu Hao said angrily.
"Okay, don't make a mess, let's talk first, I'm going to go out and see someone. Zhang Tianyuan got up and said.
"See someone, who do you see, is it a beauty?" asked Xu Gang.
"Beauty, you big-headed ghost, it's Boss Xiao, he arrived in Xifeng earlier than me, but he didn't come to Yancheng in a hurry, he just arrived today, I'm going to pick him up." Zhang Tianyuan replied.
"Boss Xiao, then you go, I'll go and rest. When Xu Gang heard that it was Boss Xiao, he immediately lost interest, and it was hot outside, so it was much better to sleep than to brave the sun to pick up people.
Liu Hao and Li Xiao were obviously not interested in a big man, so they both went to their respective rooms to rest.
……
Zhang Tianyuan got out of the hotel, called and asked about the approximate time of Boss Xiao's arrival, and then drove to the highway intersection to wait.
Anyway, from Xifeng to Yancheng, it will take an hour's drive at most, and it will be there soon.
"Oh, Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, but I didn't receive your call. Zhang Tianyuan saw that a car stopped at the parking place at the highway intersection, and a person got out of the car, it was Boss Xiao, so he hurriedly greeted him.
At this time, two more people got out of the car, and Boss Xiao smiled at Zhang Tianyuan, and said to the driver: "Okay Xiao Zhou, you can go back, our friend is here." ”
"Then Boss Xiao, you can have a good time in Yancheng, just call if you have anything. The driver turned around and headed towards Xifeng again.
Zhang Tianyuan welcomed Boss Xiao and another person to his car, and after the three of them got into the car, Boss Xiao introduced: "Brother Zhang, this is a friend of mine, a local jade master in Xifeng, and a master of gambling stones, Master Liu." ”
Then, he pointed at Zhang Tianyuan and said to the man: "Brother Liu, this is the Brother Zhang I often mention to you, he is very young, but he has a unique vision and is knowledgeable, and he will not lose to you and me, hahaha." ”
"This is that Brother Zhang, oops, this is too young, I thought you were joking. Then Master Liu looked at Zhang Tianyuan in surprise and said to Boss Xiao.
"Master Liu, you are a big celebrity in our Shaanzhou, and I have heard of your name for a long time. My home is in a stone village near the Qinling Mountains, and you've been there. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang. I really don't remember, but I know the stone village. Did. "This Master Liu is also very close and kind.
"That's not to blame you, I was only a little older at the time, and I was watching you collect jade from the side, and I admired you very much at that time. Didn't you go to Nandu University to give a public lecture later? I also listened to it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Ah, I remembered, I remembered, it was you. Master Liu smiled and patted Boss Xiao's shoulder and said, "Boss Xiao, you don't know what to do, this little brother is amazing." When I had a question in a public class, I thought that no one could answer it, and I wanted to use this to hit those students so that they could study diligently, who would have thought that this little brother would really answer it, at that time I lost to him a jade pendant, although it was worth a few thousand yuan, but that thing was very impressive. ”
"At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I happened to read a few more books. So ......"
"It's okay, it's okay to be a studious young man like you, the antique world is also a bit interesting, otherwise it's all old antiques. It's a backwater. Master Liu said with a smile.
The car started, and Zhang Tianyuan drove in front.
Boss Xiao said in the back: "Brother Zhang, I heard that you won the gambling stone emperor Shi Lao Wang in the bet on Treasure Island. Is that true?"
"Well, it's true. But that's not a good thing, it's just my luck. The stone pier sitting under Gangzi's buttocks at the time. Even I didn't expect such a good jadeite. Zhang Tianyuan replied with a smile.
"How about it, Master Liu, I said it earlier, although this little brother is young, he is modest, unlike some people, who will blow up as soon as he gains something, as if he wants the whole world to know the Tao. Boss Xiao said with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with Zhang Tianyuan's modesty.
"Well, compared to when I met him, he is indeed much calmer, and it seems that he has encountered a lot of setbacks, and setbacks are the most tempering people. Master Liu nodded.
"Master Liu, you're really right, I was decadent for a while after graduation, and then I almost died, and after I escaped from the ghost gate, I felt that those past behaviors were really ridiculous. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said.
"Brother Xiao Zhang isn't playing jade, why do you want to come to the gambling stone conference to join in the fun? Could it be that you also want to gamble on luck?" Master Liu suddenly asked.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "Where, I originally didn't know about the gambling stone conference, but later because I sold a thing to Dong Lao in Shangpu, oh, it was Dong Xueshu, Dong Lao, and Li Shuheng, Li Lao, they suggested that I find Brother Xiao and come to play together, they told me that this gambling stone is not necessarily a bad thing, gambling on stones and speculating in stocks, buying lottery tickets, Doing futures is actually a truth, and now a complete system has been formed, and even some people specialize in gambling stones, suggesting that I can develop in this area. ”
"Do you know Dong Xueshu and Li Shuheng, two old-timers?" Master Liu asked with obvious surprise.
Boss Xiao smiled: "Brother Liu, you probably don't know the way, my little brother is not only a good gambler, but also very good at antique literary games, and has opened a few shops in Shangpu, and I have dealings with Murong De, Dong Lao, and Li Lao, by the way, he also knows the old man Mu who used to go to the Pubo Ancient Museum, and even the three elders of the three clans of Baodao also know it, it's not simple." ”
"That's amazing!"
Master Liu originally thought that it was just Boss Xiao promoting Zhang Tianyuan, at Zhang Tianyuan's age, even if he really had to be a genius, it shouldn't be too outrageous, where did he think that the most powerful thing about this kid was not the knowledge of gambling stones and antiques, but this connection.
If a person can know so many characters with heads and faces, then everything is much simpler.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, what are you here for, I heard that you seem to be hoarding wool. Zhang Tianyuan asked.
"It's not a secret, now Myanmar's jadeite wool mining is almost exhausted, and the Myanmar government has even begun to restrict the export of wool, but now the management is not strict, so I want to take this opportunity to buy more wool to get it, and wait for a few years, this thing will inevitably appreciate in value, and then sell it, it can also be very profitable." Boss Xiao explained: "Of course, this is not as good as gambling stones, if you are lucky, a stone will make more money than I hoard a lot of wool." ”
"Brother Xiao, you're not kind. I've heard that if it's the wool of the old pit, the wool is also calculated by the catty, and a pound can be sold for a hundred thousand, and a larger piece of the old pit can be tens of millions, which may not be less than the gambling stone. ”
"I can't say that, wool is not cheap when I buy it, what I want to earn is the price difference, I won't buy more high-grade wool like Lao Keng, because it's not cost-effective, this is what gamblers like, but it's not what people who hoard wool like. Boss Xiao shook his head and said.
"So, are there many people like you?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"Do you know Warren Buffett?"
"Zhilu said. ”
"In fact, in the gambling stone world, there are such people, Buffett is making money by investing in stocks, becoming a rich man in the world, and in the gambling stone world, there are people who are richer than Buffett, and their money will not shrink like stocks, unless there is a war, jade wool is generally unlikely to depreciate, only as wool becomes more and more scarce, the price skyrockets, such as the domestic Tianhuangshi is a good example.
