Chapter 21: Gambling Stones

Xie Bin listened to this outrageous offer, squeezed into the crowd hard, and what caught his eye was a rough stone the size of a person's hold, one corner of which was cut open by a cutting machine, revealing a white stone with a hint of dark green. A middle-aged man was smiling and looking carefully with a magnifying glass.

Suddenly remembering the scene described in a certain novel, Xie Bin's heart moved, and he thought to himself Is this the legendary gambling stone? The tradition of gambling stones has a long history, coupled with the excitement of getting rich overnight, many people like to go in and play two, and it is said that there are not a few people who are bankrupt when they play. Of course, there are more stories of someone who got rich overnight, and there are many more legendary, such as when someone was gambling and went bankrupt, a piece of waste that was inadvertently picked up turned out to be a priceless jadeite. Such stories have been passed down by many people, intentionally or unintentionally, and have stimulated more and more gamblers to enter the industry.

Of course, Xie Bin doesn't know much about jadeite, but he has only learned some information on the Internet and read a biographical novel about jadeite.

The thrilling scenes described in the novel also made Xie Bin yearn for it. It's just that Xie Bin doesn't have the ability and capital to test the waters, so he can only think about it. But he didn't expect to see such a scene on such an occasion, which made Xie Bin very excited.

In Xie Bin's distraction, this piece of jadeite, which I don't know what texture it is, has been called to 950,000, and it is about to break through the million mark.

When reading novels, those who play gambling stones, millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are thrown out during the conversation and laughter, and no one even frowns. But novels are just novels after all, and this kind of direct impact makes Xie Bin a person who has never seen so much money in his life really unbearable.

Looking at this stone in disbelief, which was no different from ordinary stones, Xie Bin really couldn't imagine that the exquisite jade jade was dug out of here. It's just that Xie Bin watched it for most of the day, except for the stone accident of the white flowers, there was only a faint trace of green. Can this really be worth more than a million? Xie Bin was very puzzled.

After all, people who are not in this profession can't understand the form of jadeite's existence, and they can't understand these people's thirst for jadeite. Speaking of which, Xie Bin still knows a little bit about some basic knowledge of jadeite, but the book is shallow, and without a large number of physical comparisons, ordinary people cannot confirm the difference between jadeite ore and ordinary stones. Just like a novice who has not been trained, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between ordinary porcelain and ancient porcelain.

Xie Bin also squeezed up, got closer and looked closer, the whole stone was about thirty or forty catties, and the skin was rough and yellowish particles, which looked like those stones that could be seen everywhere by the river at the foot of the mountain. Some black substances can also be seen on the epidermis, but on the cut window, a hint of green can be seen.

How to say it, Xie Bin is not an insider after all, he can't accurately describe the kind of green, it looks lighter and slightly gray, I really don't know why he can shout such a high price.

Suddenly, Xie Bin's heart moved, and he reached out and gently pressed on the surface of this rough stone, pretending to look carefully, but he urged his ability to go deep into the interior of the rough stone.

This rough stone gives Xie Bin a completely different feeling from wood, and it is very difficult to go deep into the inside of the rough stone. However, as the ability progressed harder, I quickly got the general texture of the entire rough stone in my mind.

The texture of this rough stone is quite rough, although Xie Bin has never tried what the inside of the jadeite feels like, but he also knows that the more delicate the texture of the jadeite, the better. And this rough stone, except for the opening of the window, there is a mass of two fist-sized parts that feel good, the further down the rougher it becomes. Xie Bin could even clearly feel the messy texture, with fine irregular cracks.

As soon as Xie Bin tried it, he was very excited, thinking that the protagonists of those novels had embarked on a road of prosperity since then, and he couldn't help but want to try his hand. However, Xie Bin also knows that jadeite is not something that ordinary people can play with, for example, this stone has been copied to 1.12 million.

Xie Bin didn't know where these people had such strong confidence and dared to shout such a high price, could it be that the quality of the jadeite revealed was very good? It's a pity that Xie Bin's ability was consumed very much in the process of going deep into the stone, and it was exhausted in less than two minutes, and if he wanted to feel it carefully, there was nothing he could do.

In fact, Xie Bin has also used his ability to feel the jade necklace around his neck, but unfortunately he can only feel the inexplicable space every time, but he can't feel the texture of the jade at all, otherwise Xie Bin can make a comparison and refer to it.

In the end, a young man who looked a few years older than Xie Bin took this rough stone, which was favored by everyone, into his pocket. However, the triumphant young man did not solve the stone on the spot, as everyone expected, but beckoned a follower to get into the car and leave.

Xie Bin gently touched an old man beside him who was quite emotional, and asked humbly: "Old man, why is this fast rough stone so valuable?" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect a piece of material that performed well here, although it was a new pit, but the water head was not bad, the bottom of the egg white, looking at the direction of the green, it is very likely to go deep into thirty centimeters, if it can be unlocked and can maintain this level, one hundred and fifty thousand, it is still very profitable." The old man probably looked at Xie Bin's kind face, but he also explained carefully.

It's a pity that Xie Bin is a pure layman, which seems to be understood, but he doesn't have the slightest concept of these terms, what kind of category is this egg white, what grade it belongs to, how much it can be worth, etc., Xie Bin has no impression at all.

Of course, Xie Bin also knows that jadeite is divided into glass species, ice species, etc., but what it looks like is not something that Xie Bin himself can imagine. Take the rough stone just now, if it weren't on the road, it is estimated that most people would not have thought that this is a piece of jadeite rough stone worth millions. Of course, after unraveling, whether he can solve millions of materials is not something that Xie Bin can know.

However, under the perception of the ability, Xie Bin still felt that the piece of material just now was not ideal, after all, such a large piece, eighty-five percent of which was very rough, and according to what the old man said, this young man who looked infinitely beautiful was estimated to suffer a big loss.

However, those who can afford more than one million people can probably afford to pay it, but Xie Bin didn't know that there was such a group of wealthy people who liked to play jade in the island city.

Looking at the information on the Internet, Xie Bin knew that most of the domestic jadeite distribution centers were in GD and YN and other places, but he did not expect that there would also be rough stone trading here. Thinking of the special features of his ability, Xie Bin asked again: "Old man, when did we have a rough stone fair in our island city?" Where is it located? ”

When the old man heard this, he looked Xie Bin up and down, shook his head and smiled: "Where is this a rough stone fair, it is the old Li family's kid who transported a batch back from Guangdong, playing tricks, what, are you interested?" Saying that, the old man sighed, "But this line of water is very deep, and ordinary people still don't go in to play, they only hear that some people have made a fortune, but they can't see most of them go bankrupt." ”

"There, it's just curiosity," Xie Bin hurriedly explained, in fact, he didn't even believe in this, but made up his mind to pay attention, to find a suitable time to find a good time to find two, after all, he has a special ability with him, and he has invisibly occupied a very big advantage, which is more effective than those experienced experts. No matter what the material, as soon as the ability is detected, the good or bad is all in his head.

It's a pity that this ability is so weak that it is impossible to search for the rough in a matter of a minute or two. Otherwise, Xie Bin would go around those public markets twice a year, and no one could escape Xie Bin's palm.

Subsequently, Xie Bin took a closer look in front of this booth, but without the help of the ability, he didn't see any name, he could only look at the messy stone and frown.

On the way home, Xie Bin was thinking about the matter of jadeite, to be honest, today's rough stone transaction, the impact on Xie Bin is very big, and then thinking of the legendary story about jadeite, Xie Bin's heart can't help but beat at an accelerated pace, the temptation is too strong.

Compared with those jadeites that often cost millions, Xie Bin's wood carving business can really only be regarded as a small business that is not in the stream. Thinking that he might not be able to earn that inconspicuous stone after working hard all his life, Xie Bin was a little unwilling.

In other words, this person can't be compared, and once compared, he will always feel unsatisfied. Xie Bin usually boasts that his heart is as calm as water, but at this moment, it is difficult to maintain that calm state of mind. In fact, it is also normal, Xie Bin is just an ordinary person, and he also longs for wealth, status, and attention from others. Although this desire is usually hidden very deep and tight, when it is stimulated, the stronger the rebound.

A few days ago, Xie Bin was complacent that he had earned more than 100,000 yuan, but at this time, he only felt that his face was a little hot. With such a small amount of money, what should people who are millions of people do?

Coupled with the help of his abilities, Xie Bin is very confident that he will make a name for himself in the jade industry. Compared with carving, Xie Bin's ability to play a greater role in gambling stones, and the harvest will be more.

Liu Wenqing saw that Xie Bin was a little distraught, and asked curiously, "Brother Xie, what do you want?" Don't worry, there's still a day left tomorrow to sell out of stock. ”

This little girl thought that Xie Bin was worried about today's bad business. Indeed, at the end of this day, Xie Bin had just sold for 1,500 yuan, which made Liu Wenqing, who was used to five or six thousand at every turn, and tens of thousands of dollars at a high level, a little unsatisfied. But this little girl could imagine that Xie Bin was already preparing to enter the jade line ambitiously.

"Hehe, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about what to do in the future, I can't just set up a stall, right?" Xie Bin explained with a smile.

Liu Wenqing didn't quite understand, "What's wrong with setting up a stall?" I made more money than my parents in years. This girl seems to be more proud than Xie Bin.

Xie Bin smiled bitterly, a little girl is a little girl, I don't know if she can maintain this innocent mentality in a few years.

Back at home, Xie Bin was not in a hurry to cook, but turned on the computer, searched for information about jadeite and gambling stones, and also found some forums and buckle groups or something, and carefully absorbed the knowledge about jadeite.

Although Xie Bin is very eager to enter the jade industry, he also knows that sharpening knives is not a chopping woodworker, otherwise it is a trivial matter to break in with black eyes and make jokes, if people find out that they have special abilities, it will be bad. At the very least, you need to know some basic knowledge, and you can't rely entirely on abilities to eat. This little ability is at best a reference, and you can't rely solely on the ability to identify the good or bad of the jadeite.
