Chapter 8 Gambling Stones
Not far from Chen Yu, there was a young man standing in front of a stone, looking to be in his twenties, but there was a hint of vicissitudes on his childish face. At this time, his eyes were always staring at two middle-aged men who were cutting stones on a slack stone machine, with a hint of determination and ruthlessness in his eyes.
This unusual young man attracted Chen Yu's attention.
"He's an interesting person." Chen Yu looked at him, the expression on his face was gloomy, and he reminded her of some bad memories.
That feeling of losing everything, she saw in him a shadow of who she had been.
The young man hesitated for a moment, tightened his sleeves, and walked towards the two middle-aged men. After taking two steps, a resistance pulled him back.
"If you want revenge, isn't that too irrational?" Chen Yu grabbed his sleeve, shook his hand, and caught the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
"You...... Who are you? The young man was shocked, and looked wary when he saw that his dagger had been snatched away.
"Let's go get something to eat." Chen Yu said with a smile.
Chu Tian is twenty-four years old this year, and he used to be the young owner of the Chu Ji antique shop here.
He lost his mother at an early age and lived with his father. Later, his father left him out to follow others to run a jewelry business, and after making a little money and coming into contact with gambling stones, he was out of control.
Gambling on stones, betting on the jadeite rough in the stone. There are two kinds of jadeite rough stones, which are divided into mountain materials and baby materials. The mountain material is directly mined from the jadeite mine, there is no outer skin, the shape is irregular, there are many edges and cracks, the structure is rough and loose, and the quality is not very good.
The seed material is jadeite mined in the riverbed, which is an approximately round or oval gravel wrapped in an outer skin after the jadeite rock is weathered and broken down the hillside and carried into a ravine or creek by floods or river water. Gravel can be large and small, the largest ones can be thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, and the small ones are as small as the size of a thumb.
Because the surface of the seed material is covered by a layer of weathered shell, the internal situation cannot be seen, so people rely on their own experience to judge whether the inside of the seed material forms jadeite, or the quality of jadeite. This makes it quite difficult to identify the quality of jadeite raw materials in the transaction of jadeite raw materials. Such a transaction is akin to gambling. Therefore, people call the raw materials of jadeite with skin as gambling stones, gambling materials, or rough stones, wool materials. Gambling on stones is also a kind of commercial behavior, but this is a rather mysterious existence in the jewelry industry, and if you want to participate, you must have a familiar relationship and doorway.
The reason why gambling stones are called gambling is because even experienced experts can not have complete certainty, some people can buy a stone can get rich overnight, and some people spend a lot of money to buy a stone, and find that there is nothing in it after cutting it, so as to bankrupt the family, which is really a test of people's psychological quality.
Even if it is difficult to make a lot of money with this, there are countless people who have gone forward and succeeded, because once you are lucky, you can open a jade rough worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan, and you don't have to worry about it in this life.
Chu Tian's father is one of the countless stone gamblers, but fortunately, he once cut an extremely rare piece of glass full of green jadeite, and sold it for 30 million yuan, glass jadeite with emerald color is rare, the value is higher than that of glass colorless, and glass jadeite full of emerald green is the best in jadeite, and it is very rare, with emerald green glass jade bracelets, a pair can reach millions of yuan.
In this way, Chu's father made a fortune, and after a few years of hard work, he also became famous in the gambling stone world.
But the good times didn't last long, last year Chu's father and his friend went to the gambling stone conference, and was encouraged to buy a piece of rough stone worth more than 40 million, and borrowed 5 million from that friend to buy it, but after cutting out, there was only a dead jadeite that was lifeless, no head, opaque, and had a shriveled and rough texture, which had no collection value.
So he gambled and collapsed, full of expectations but finally became bankrupt, and Chu's father, who was weighed down by his friend's heavy gambling debts, was out of breath, and the friend not only sent charcoal in the snow but also fell into the well, and wanted to take Chu Ji away.
Chu's father, who couldn't stand it anymore, jumped off the building in a fit of anger and died.
The young Chu Tian only followed his father to learn the knowledge of gambling stones for a few years, and he had no ability to save everything, and he chose to die with the person who forced his father to die, but met Chen Yu at the last step.
Chen Yu sucked up the last sip of Coke in the cup and leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, "This KFC really tastes good, no wonder it is popular in so many countries." ”
Chu Tian looked at her lightly, he didn't understand why he chose to believe this little girl just now, brought her to lunch and told her his story.
Now he is a little funny, these days are really too hopeless, so there will be hope for a little girl. But anyway, she is a person who is at the end of her rope, as her last chance, even if she is just here to use herself, so what's the matter, her only wish now is revenge.
"Thank you for your lunch, which filled my stomach." Chen Yu smiled, "So I'm going to do you a favor too." ”
……
……
Back in the gambling stone area, Chu Tian walked straight to a middle-aged man with a big belly and a round face, "Boss Liu, let's take a look at the stone." As he spoke, he looked at the two men who had just finished slacking the stone, and opened an ordinary piece of jadeite, which happened to be a loss.
"Chutian, let's try my luck today." The two men also walked over, and one of them said to Chutian with a smile.
This person is Wu Yaohua, who is preparing to take Chu Ji.
Wu Yaohua turned his head and introduced to the man next to him: "Boss Wang, this is Chu Tian, the son of Old Chu, and now Chu Ji is in his charge." ”
Chu Tian smiled and looked at Boss Liu, "Boss Liu, let's take a look at the stone." ”
"Okay, I know there will be a lot of guests today, I just arrived last night with some new goods, all of which are good goods from the old pit! You can take a look, 500 yuan a piece, no two prices. Boss Liu smiled like a fox, and after speaking, he pointed to the large pile of wool piled up underground.
Chu Tian looked at Chen Yu, Chen Yu showed a smile and said that there was no problem, and the two walked over together.
Chu Tian was a little nervous, because he didn't know if this girl was as powerful as she said, and he didn't know if her promise to help him rescue Chu Ji and destroy Wu Yaohua would be realized, it depends on this girl's performance this time......
For Chen Yu, she has long memorized the information of the gambling stone, and it is still easy to use it to pretend to be a master, but she doesn't need to use professional knowledge to identify it at all.
Chen Yu walked to these random piles of epidermis and squatted down, pretending to look left and right. She had already discovered that there was more aura for her here, so she pulled Chu Tian here for the first pot of gold.
Chu Tian could see at a glance that she should be a novice, usually when her father looked at the stone, he would use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to study it carefully, like Chen Yu, who didn't take anything, either he was too experienced, or he was a novice.
But he was still faintly expecting in his heart, hoping that this strange little guy could bring a miracle, this was already his last hope, he was still young, and he didn't want to go on the last road.
"Isn't it Chu Tian, you let this little sister gamble on stones?" Wu Yaohua stood aside and frowned and said, "You should also have a moderate dream. ”
"Lao Wu, it's good for children to play, don't bully children like this." Boss Wang beside him spoke softly, he had also heard about Chu Ji's affairs, and he was a little unaccustomed to Wu Yaohua's approach, so he stood up and said something.
Chen Yu picked up a fist-sized stone, and on the surface he was looking at it seriously, but in fact he was feeling its breath. Obviously, this stone has no aura at all, she gently put it down and looked to the side, the piece of wool there gave her a very comfortable feeling.
