Chapter 18 Gambling Stone Conference

The exhibition hall on the first floor of the Funiu Mountain Jade Culture Museum is already crowded with people, the first gambling stone conference in the Funiu Mountain Scenic Area is being held again, many tourists even give up the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Funiu Mountain to the natural scenery, and squeeze into the museum exhibition hall to watch the legendary wonderful and exciting to the jade gambling stone. It seems that the natural scenery is certainly very attractive, but compared with the crystal clear jadeite, the charm is still a few notches lower. Human beings have always worshipped jewelry and wealth much higher than nature.

The exhibition hall on the first floor is divided into two areas, one area is the inner area, also called the core area, this area can only be entered by those who hold the VIP card of Funiu Mountain Scenic Area or the reporter who has sent an interview card from Funiu Mountain Scenic Area. Most of those who hold VIP cards are going to gamble on the gem merchants at the Gambling Stone Conference, and a very small number of them are invited by the scenic area to special guests, who can watch the jade rough up close and feel the special charm of the Gambling Stone Conference; Outside the inner area, there is a one-and-a-half-meter-high stainless steel fence separated by dozens of security guards holding police weapons to guard the area is the outer area, and then in the outer area, ordinary tourists only need to spend five yuan to buy a ticket, you can freely enter this area, and witness the exciting gambling stone conference in the core area through the stainless steel fence. Of course, if ordinary tourists want to enter the core area to participate in the gambling stone conference in person, it is very simple, pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan, you can get a VIP card issued by Funiu Mountain Scenic Area, and go in to live a thrilling gambling stone addiction.

At 9:35, Zhao Changfeng accompanied Liu Guanghui and Juanzi to the entrance of the core area, and Juanzi showed the VIP diamond VIP card in his hand. There are three kinds of VIP cards from scenic spots to VIPs, and Juanzi is the most senior to one, with this VIP card, you can bring two to three friends into the gambling stone conference to the core area. The staff at the entrance hurriedly bowed and invited the three of them to enter. Zhao Changfeng followed and laughed secretly at the staff, who only knew that Juanzi was holding a diamond VIP card, but he didn't know that he was the real owner of Funiu Mountain Scenic Area at the back.

In the middle of the core area are dozens of booths, each of which has a piece of jadeite rough, the smallest of which is only one or two kilograms, and the largest weighs two or three tons. Each piece of jadeite rough is labeled on it, and in addition to the number filled in on the label, the color is also divided into three types. Among them, the green label is clearly marked with the price, and the price of the jadeite rough is written on it, as long as there is a buyer willing to go to the price on the label, then the jadeite rough will belong to him; The blue label is a reserve bid, that is, the label says that the price is the bottom price of the rough stone, and then the buyers bid for each other, and whoever pays the highest price will belong to him; The red label is a no-reserve bid, and the label does not state the reserve price of the jadeite rough, so buyers can bid according to their own estimates. Among them, the unreserved bidding is divided into open bidding and hidden bidding. The bidding for gambling stones is very fierce, and the bidding with no reserve price is the most intense.

When Zhao Changfeng and the three of them entered the core exhibition area, the gambling stone conference had begun for more than an hour, and many buyers were holding spotlight flashlights in front of the jadeite rough in the display area repeatedly searching, relying on their eyesight to judge the value of this jadeite rough - in fact, it was also a busy job, if you can judge the price of the jadeite rough with your eyesight, it is not called a gambling stone. As the saying goes, "it is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade", if you can't even judge an immortal, let alone a mortal with the naked eye.

Zhao Changfeng stopped in front of a fist-sized rough stone that looked like an inconspicuous pebble, with a blue label attached to it, indicating that the number of the rough stone was 10,025 and the price was 30,000 yuan. Zhao Changfeng was startled and said, "This pebble is worth 30,000 yuan?" ”

A thin man was holding a spotlight flashlight to shine on this "pebble", and he was very unhappy when he heard Zhao Changfeng's words: "Pebbles? Have you ever seen a pebble like this? Worth 30,000 yuan? Tell you, this 30,000 yuan is just the reserve price of the auction, and it is your luck to be able to take 30,000 yuan! You'll find out when you shoot it later. ”

Zhao Changfeng shrugged his shoulders, didn't argue with the thin man, and left with a smile.

Juanzi said on the side: "Boss Zhao, you don't understand this, right?" Gambling on stones and stones is a heartbeat of gambling. The stone just now is called jadeite rough, and when it is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin on the outside, and there is no way to know whether it is good or bad inside. Those experienced gem merchants should judge the quality of the internal emerald based on the characteristics of the weathered shell of the raw material, the direction of the texture, and even the cutting of a thin piece of the shell. Gambling stone, is to repeatedly speculate and judge according to the performance of the stone shell, as for how much jadeite under the shell, how much jadeite is fine, before the stone, no one dares to guarantee. ”

Before coming, Liu Guanghui and Zhao Changfeng had already come through qi, and the two called each other "Boss Liu" and "Boss Zhao", so as not to attract attention in the gambling stone conference.

Liu Guanghui sneered on the side: "Juanzi, didn't you just read a book sent by Mr. Yang yesterday, and start pretending to be an expert today?" ”

Juanzi's innocent pretty face raised high, and said, "Pretending is pretending, anyway, you and Boss Zhao don't understand this." ”

Zhao Changfeng smiled and asked, "Juanzi, what do you mean by the calcite just now?" ”

Juanzi said: "There is a special machine for cutting jadeite rough, called a solution machine. Calcite is to send the selected jadeite rough to the dissolution machine for cutting, after cutting, you can see the real situation inside the jadeite rough, this process of cutting the rough stone is called calcite. ”

Zhao Changfeng saw that Juanzi opened his mouth and clearly explained some of the terms in the gambling stone, and couldn't help but admire it very much, and praised it with his thumb: "Juanzi is really amazing, the export is a classic, it is simply an expert level." ”

Juanzi covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Liu Guanghui, and said, "Boss Liu, have you seen it, even Boss Zhao thinks I'm an expert." ”

Liu Guanghui smiled and said, "Juanzi's memory is still very good. ”

Juanzi snorted and walked forward, Liu Guanghui and Zhao Changfeng looked at each other and smiled, and followed.

At this time, there was a sensation in front, and a middle-aged man with glasses shouted excitedly. Zhao Changfeng and others surrounded him, it turned out that a piece of jadeite rough taken by this middle-aged man had been solved, and several jadeite experts took a look at the solved jadeite rough, and the estimated value was 30,000 yuan. The middle-aged man's face turned red, and his eyes were full of excitement and pride. Someone next to him muttered in a low voice, saying that this middle-aged man was so lucky, this one-kilogram jade rough cost him 3,500 yuan, and this unraveling, it became 30,000 yuan in a blink of an eye, what a huge profit!

However, more sellers are still in the wait-and-see and are not in a hurry to make a move, although they envy the luck of the middle-aged man with glasses, but they are not moved, and they are still speculating and estimating in their hearts, and exploring the jadeite rough in their own pictures.

Juanzi glanced at it a few times, and then it was boring. 30,000 yuan is just a small amount of money, is it worth yelling with such excitement? She turned around and walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and Liu Guanghui and Zhao Changfeng followed closely behind.

Juanzi walked slowly along the exhibition hall, her eyes wandering, trying to find something she was interested in in the jade rough. Suddenly, Juanzi was shocked, and her beautiful eyes fell on a large smoky stone in the corner of the exhibition hall - isn't this the big stone in the photo?

Juanzi took two deep breaths to calm her mind, and then walked towards the big rock without hurrying. The large stone is nearly a meter high and more than half a meter wide, and rests on a thick solid wood support.

When I got closer, I saw a green label on the big stone with the number 10038, weighing 760 kilograms and weighing 45,000 yuan.

Juanzi was a little taken aback, the credit limit of the VIP diamond VIP card given to her by Yang Jiangchao was 20,000 yuan, and if she wanted to buy this stone, she would have to pay at least 25,000 yuan.

While thinking, Juanzi looked at the jadeite rough stone numbered 10038 in front of her, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see anything special about this jadeite rough, and it looked no different from the large gravel in the river beach.

Liu Guanghui and Zhao Changfeng came up and stroked the boulder with their hands, and it was cold in their hands, and it felt like an ordinary pebble.

At this time, a few more buyers came over, and they took a spotlight flashlight to shine a few times on this 10038 jadeite rough, and lay on it and looked at the place where the beam shone in with their eyes. After watching it for a long time, they all shook their heads, and their faces showed a trace of disdain. One of the square-faced men with a southern accent muttered, "Forty-five thousand? Not even as good as bricks. ”

The expression on Juanzi's face dimmed by two points.

After waiting for a few buyers to leave, Zhao Changfeng asked Juanzi: "What is a brick material?" ”

Juanzi said: "The jadeite rough is also known as wool, of which the wool full of green is called 'color goods', the uneven green wool is called 'flower brand material', and the large wool without high emerald is called 'brick material'." This piece of jadeite rough is not even as good as 'brick material', and its value can be imagined. ”

"I see!" Zhao Changfeng nodded, and muttered to himself: "Didn't you say that it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade?" The gods can't even break a small stone, let alone such a large stone? Those people just now are not necessarily more clever than the immortals. ”

Juanzi was about to ask something, but Zhao Changfeng beat his waist with his hand and said, "Oh, why is your health so bad recently?" I only climbed the mountain road for half a day yesterday, and my waist can't stand it today. Boss Liu, why don't I go back and rest first. Can you take a look at it here? ”

Liu Guanghui helped the gold wire glasses, and said to Zhao Changfeng with a smile: "Boss Zhao, your back pain may have nothing to do with mountain climbing, right?" Just remember to rest early in the evening. ”

Before Zhao Changfeng could react, Juanzi's face turned red and he scolded: "Not serious!" ”

Zhao Changfeng reacted at this time, and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to learn more from Boss Liu in the future, and I can be so refreshed after a sleepless night." Then he smiled and left the exhibition hall.

Liu Guanghui's gaze retracted from Zhao Changfeng's back and landed on the huge stone in front of him. Without hesitation, he said to Juanzi, "Buy this stone." ”

Juanzi hesitated for a moment and said, "But this stone looks like this......"

Liu Guanghui smiled faintly: "Gambling on stones, just gambling, I believe in your luck." ”

Juanzi whispered again: "The amount of the diamond VIP card is only 20,000 ......."

Liu Guanghui interrupted her and said, "You have an overdraft limit of 30,000 on your credit card, right?" ”

Juanzi looked at Liu Guanghui and said, "You mean, I used my credit card to swipe out another 25,000 yuan?" ”

"Gambling stones, of course you have to gamble. Without a little risk, it is not in line with the principles of this gambling stone conference. Liu Guanghui smiled slyly, "I don't need to explain the rest of the things, right?" I'm also going back, waiting for your good news! ”

Juanzi had already made up her mind at this time, she nodded and said, "Okay! I know what to do! ”

Liu Guanghui left the exhibition hall, returned to Funiu Villa, and came to Zhao Changfeng's room. Zhao Changfeng was watching TV, and when he saw Liu Guanghui coming, he asked with a smile: "Why did Mayor Liu come back too?" ”

Liu Guanghui smiled narrowly: "I'm not an immortal, how can I be refreshed overnight?" Both of them laughed.

Then the two of them chatted, but both of them tacitly talked about any topic, but they didn't talk about today's gambling stone conference.

About forty or fifty minutes later, Liu Guanghui's phone rang, Juanzi's number. When Liu Guanghui got it to his ear, he heard Juanzi's excited voice: "I won, I won the bet." Several connoisseurs say that this rough stone is worth more than 4 million! Several jewelry dealers are negotiating with me to transfer it! ”

Liu Guanghui said lightly: "You can watch and deal with it." Zhao Changfeng couldn't hear a trace of fluctuation in Liu Guanghui's tone on the side.
