Chapter 40: The First Gambling Stone
In the process of cutting the gambling stone, Zheng Quangui prayed with both hands, and everyone present could feel that he was a little nervous.
Meng Guoqiang pulled Meng Songhai aside and said in a low voice: "Zheng Quangui is very nervous. ”
Meng Songhai said lightly: "One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and there are a few people who gamble on stones, and they don't want to make a lot of money by gambling on a stone." ”
"yes, this gamble is too big!" Meng Guoqiang sighed, looked at Meng Songhai a few times, and said with a smile, "When you bought the gambling stone cutting, can you still be as plain as now?" ”
"I don't know." Meng Songhai smiled, "Many things are confused by the parties and clear by the bystanders." ”
After a while, the gambling stone that Zheng Quangui bought was cut open, and a window of more than ten square centimeters was cut, and most of the area on the window was jadeite, most of the jadeite was green, and a small part was white.
"See green!" The quick-talking onlookers shouted.
Zheng Quangui, who was smiling excitedly, took a flashlight and shone it at the window.
Jadeite, especially green jadeite, looks particularly charming under the illumination of strong lights.
"Is this piece of jade sold, five thousand yuan, I want it." A strong man in his thirties shouted.
"Boss Zhang, five thousand is too low, I'll give eight thousand." A fat man with a big belly laughed.
Meng Guoqiang, who was squatting beside Zheng Quangui, smiled and said, "Quangui, congratulations." ”
"Thank you!" Zheng Quangui said happily, "Tonight, I will treat you two brothers to a good meal." ”
Meng Guoqiang asked, "Do you sell this jadeite?" ”
"Uh......" Zheng Quangui pondered for a moment, stood up, looked around at the people around him, and said with a smile, "Bosses, you can take a good look at this piece of jadeite, if anyone is interested in it, even if the bid is made, if the price is reasonable, I will sell it, the price is too low, I will cut a few more knives, cut it into clear materials and sell it." ”
Zheng Quangui does not intend to sell it after cutting it into clear materials, with his experience, this semi-gambling stone still has a lot of gambling nature, he prefers to see the good and see the harvest, the reason why he said this is to hope to be able to sell it at a higher price.
After several powerful and interested in this jadeite rough after a few bosses, the auction began, and after several rounds of bidding, it was finally sold at a price of 16,000 yuan.
The boss who bought this piece of jadeite rough was holding a briefcase with a lot of cash in it, he directly took out two stacks of money from it, counted out one hundred and sixty hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Zheng Quangui.
Zheng Quangui took the money, slowly counted it twice, and after making sure that it was correct, he shook hands with the buyer with a smile and said Wishing you prosperity.
Hearing Wishing you prosperity, Meng Songhai secretly laughed, and he guessed that this sentence was spread to Ruili by Hong Kong people or Guangdong people.
Zheng Quangui saw Meng Songhai holding a gambling stone with a brown shell in his hand, and took the initiative to ask, "Songhai, do you want to buy this gambling stone?" ”
"I feel that this gambling stone is good, Brother Zheng, you can help me take a look."
Meng Songhai really felt that this gambling stone was good, and after asking the shopkeeper for the price, he decided to gamble once, before betting, he also bought "insurance" and identified this piece of jade with the magic power of "discerning treasure".
God bless, Meng Songhai was pleasantly surprised to find that he could see the performance inside the gambling stone, in his eyes, this gambling stone became a transparent glass, the color of each part of the glass, as well as the water, he saw it clearly.
This piece of eleven pounds of jadeite rough, nearly one-third is jadeite, jadeite water is very poor, bean seeds, most of the jadeite color is spinach green, a small part is yang green, he thinks he can buy this gambling stone, if he cuts it into a bright material to sell money, can only save the capital, but if you cut a knife in the middle of the yang green jadeite, good performance can sell at a good price.
Zheng Quangui took a flashlight, took a picture of the jade in Meng Songhai's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "How much?" ”
"The boss bids a thousand."
"I'm not optimistic." Zheng Quangui shook his head and said.
"I want to try, I believe in my feelings."
Zheng Quangui saw that Meng Songhai was so persistent, so he didn't say anything.
"Boss, this gambling stone is cheaper." Meng Songhai began to bargain with the boss.
"One thousand is the lowest price."
"This is my first time gambling on stones, and you give me a discount." Meng Songhai smiled.
"Since it's your first time gambling on stones, I'll give you a discount, nine percent off, nine hundred yuan."
"Let's get a 20% discount, 800 yuan!"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and accepted Meng Songhai's offer, this gambling stone has been in his store for a long time, many connoisseurs have seen it, although some people want to buy this gambling stone, but the highest bid does not exceed seven hundred yuan.
Meng Songhai had cash on him, and after paying the money, he moved the gambling stone to the cutting machine, drew a line on the gambling stone with chalk, and asked the master who cut the gambling stone to cut it according to this line.
Meng Guoqiang felt that Meng Songhai was a bit hasty in buying this gambling stone, after all, Zheng Quangui was not optimistic about this gambling stone, but he knew that 800 yuan could only be regarded as a small amount of money for Meng Songhai, and Meng Songhai was the reason why he bought a gambling stone for the first time, so he did not open his mouth to persuade Meng Songhai not to buy it.
Before cutting the gambling stone, Meng Songhai already knew the result, he behaved very relaxed, did not stand aside and watch, but continued to buy the gambling stone.
Zheng Quangui saw that Meng Guoqiang was a little nervous, while Meng Songhai was very relaxed, and he didn't take this gambling stone to heart at all, and said with a smile: "Brother Guoqiang, your younger brother is very courageous!" ”
"Huh!" Meng Guoqiang nodded with a smile, turned his head and glanced at Meng Songhai a few times, "He is more courageous than me." ”
After a long wait, Meng Guoqiang finally saw the gambling stone cut open, and Meng Songhai also witnessed the process of the gambling stone being divided into two.
"It's up, it's up!" Zheng Quangui saw the alluring Yang Green and shouted.
"How much can I sell it for?" Meng Guoqiang muttered.
"If you don't say anything, you can sell it for tens of thousands." Zheng Quangui said with a smile.
"Little brother, I'll pay 10,000 yuan, sell it to me!" The buyer who had just bought a piece of jadeite rough from Zheng Quangui looked at Meng Songhai with a smile and said.
"I'll give 12,000."
Hearing everyone's offer, Meng Songhai was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he realized that at present, color is the most important criterion for evaluating the value of jadeite, unlike more than 20 years later, a colorless ice jade bracelet can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan.
Meng Songhai didn't say much, and looked at a few jade merchants who kept raising prices with a smile.
When the price is raised to 20,000, no one will increase the price again.
"Let's take a closer look at this piece of jadeite first, and after a while, if no one increases the price, this piece of jadeite will be sold to the boss who bid 20,000 yuan."
After a few minutes, a new round of bidding began.
In the end, the first piece of jadeite rough that Meng Songhai bought in this life was cut open and sold for 28,000 yuan, and the buyer was a female boss in her forties.
