Chapter 14: Gambling Stones

Looking at the time, it was almost half past eleven, Wu Di was going to invite Wen Yaru to dinner, after all, there was a bottle of wine on the train. Wen Yaru shook his head and said:

"Where to eat outside and eat at home is comfortable, we specially hired a part-time worker, and every day the lunch is ready and sent to the store, you can also taste it."

"Well, I'm tired of eating outside every day. Just try some home-cooked food, don't let me get addicted to it, otherwise I will come over every day to eat. ”

"I'm seeing you a bit like a businessman now, thick-skinned. It's no problem to come and eat, and the requirements are not high, so let's come to such an order every month. ”

"You're thicker-skinned!"

While talking and laughing, a burst of firecrackers sounded, Wu Di was still wondering who dared to be arrogant in this forbidden area, but saw Wen Yaru stand up suddenly, almost knocking down the tea on the table, he walked out quickly, and said:

"Xiao Wu, hurry, hurry up and follow me."

"Brother Wen, what's going on?"

"There's a good stone cut out next door, go and see if you can grab it."

Wen Yaru ran downstairs without looking back, Wu Di followed behind him with a confused face, what is a good stone, what is a good stone?

Going down to the hall downstairs, Wen Yaru quickened his pace, and Xiao Gangzi shouted at the door:

"Boss, hurry up, I see that Boss Zhang has run in."

Wen Yaru sped up even more when he heard this, not at all like a person who ran to five, Wu Di grabbed Xiao Gangzi and asked,

"What's going on?"

"When the stones are fired, only firecrackers will be set off above the ice species."

After a little delay, Wen Yaru's people had disappeared, and Xiao Gangzi pointed his hand to the right,

"Go quickly, Stone Town, you won't be able to enter if it's late."

Wu Di ran to the right in confusion, and finally caught up with Wen Yaru at the gate of Stone Town, the door of the Stone Town store had been closed and only one was left, several clerks were explaining to a group of people in front of the door, Wen Yaru squeezed to the front, and a little girl smiled bitterly:

"Uncle Wen, it's Gao Bing, not glass. You don't have to rush. ”

"Little girl, I'm not old yet! Gao Bing, I'm going to see it too. ”

Wu Di hurriedly shouted:

"Big brother, and me!"

The little girl let the two in, turned to face the more angry crowd, the security personnel of the market finally arrived in time, and everyone explained to a large group of people who understood the truth, joined in the fun, and coaxed, and finally, the flow of people slowly dispersed.

The storefront of Stone Town is slightly smaller than that of Mingtangzhai, and the style of displaying goods is also different from Mingtangzhai. Wen Yaru didn't stop, walked through the lobby and walked in, Wu Di heard a voice coming from afar, it seemed to be bidding, and in just ten seconds after passing through the lobby, the price of that thing had rushed from 2.8 million to 3.1 million.

Passing through the lobby, there was a small courtyard behind it, the area was not much different from the lobby, and a group of people gathered in the northeast corner of the courtyard, layer by layer impermeable. The sound of bidding came from the crowd. Wu Di already knew that he was bidding for jadeite, after all, he grew up in the jade capital since he was a child, and he still had a little superficial understanding of jade.

Before the two approached, the crowd had begun to squirm, and it seemed that the transaction had been made at the price of 3.2 million. A fat man saw Wen Yaru coming over and said with a smile:

"Lao Wen, why are you running so fast, it's just a piece of high-ice melon skin green. was won by Lao Zhang. ”

Wen Yaru shook his head and sighed:

"This glass is too hard to find, this year I heard that there are two pieces of GD over there, and one of them is still floating flowers. YN didn't even see a piece. ”

"In this year, who will make a noise? It's really not good, you still have to pester Lao Zhang, he has made jade all his life, and there must be private goods. ”

"Fat man, you are saying bad things about me behind my back! I'm still missing a tall green glass store. ”

Wen Yaru smiled:

"I'm lucky, I can afford to lose my life. Unlike you, Lao Zhang, who went to other people's stone towns to grab stones, don't you want to be mixed? ”

The fat man smiled and waved his hand:

"I'm mainly gambling stones, and this gambling stone has to participate in the competition of the materials, and it's not far from the end of the game, besides, I can't stand Lao Zhang's hard money."

The crowd dispersed quickly, in fact, there were only more than 30 people, but just now the place was small and crowded, so it looked lively. Wu Di had already looked at the courtyard, there were some shelves on all sides, and the shelves were all kinds of stones, he knew that they were jade rough stones. There is a cutting machine in the open space in the northeast corner, which should be used to cut stones, and the ground in the northwest corner is paved with a layer of small stones, a yellow skin of water, the largest is not as big as Wu Di's fist, and the small one is about the same as an egg.

Wen Yaru greeted Boss Zhang and Qian Fatzi, and didn't mean to introduce Wu Di, but Qian Fatzi came up and asked:

"Old Wen, don't you want to introduce me?"

"Hehe, the little brother I met on the Meishan receiving train last time, Wu Di, came to see me today, I heard you set off firecrackers here, follow me to see something fresh."

The fat man's fat hand flipped over, and a business card appeared in front of Wu Di,

"My surname is Qian, Qian is rich, and I run a small business of jade wool, welcome Brother Wu Di to come."

"Fortunately, fortunately, Boss Qian, I have never seen a jade rough stone."

"Old brother, he lacks everything, but there is no shortage of stones, you can look at it casually, but don't listen to Lao Wen's opinion, he is a big stinky man, ten gambles and ten failures!"

The next few words deliberately lowered his voice, but Wen Yaru could hear it, Wen Yaru shook his head with a smile, walked to the side of the shelf, and began to look at the stones.

Wu Di smiled, not knowing how to speak, Qian Fat Man patted him on the shoulder and said:

"See more, buy less, it's better not to buy. You take your time. ”

Seeing Wu Di turn around to look at the wool, the fat man shook to Wen Yaru and raised his chin, Wen Yaru said with a low wry smile:

"It's just a little brother who is more in love, quite an atmospheric person."

The fat man nodded, shaking his head and greeting another group of stone-looking people.

After Wen Yaru finished speaking, he was stunned, he had only met twice, why did he feel so familiar? I had such a good time in the morning, did I really fall in love? Shaking his head, he looked at the stones.

Wu Di looked at it for a while, but couldn't understand it, so he simply walked around and came to Wen Yaru's side. In just a few minutes, he found that Boss Qian's business was different from others, and on the contrary, he helped find shortcomings in the stones that the guests were obviously optimistic about, and advised others to be cautious.

Wen Yaru bit Wu Di's ear,

"Listen to his bargain."

It seems that some customers questioned Boss Qian's stone, and Boss Qian smiled:

"In fact, wool dealers like us have a relatively single way to come to the goods, you think about it, the rough stone is dug out of the mine and choose one first, the Myanmar public plate and then choose one, the Pingzhou public plate, the Ruili public plate and then choose one, and the rest is our turn. However, my batch of stones is different, some of them were personally gambled back from Burma, and some of them were smuggled through the Tengchong line. Whether it's good or bad, I don't dare to boast, after all, each has its own dish. It's just that the price certainly can't be set according to the kind of stone I mentioned above. You can't find ice in that kind of stone. ”

Master, first put yourself on the customer's side, and then tell the customer that the goods are different, the price is naturally different, the whole process is light, after all, the ice has just been opened, and I am not afraid that people will not take the bait.

Another group of guests chose a stone, the size of a child's head, but paid 200,000 yuan. Wu Di heard them keep talking about pine flowers, pythons and something, so he hurriedly asked Lao Wen, Wen Yaru took a few stones and pointed them to Wu Di one by one.

Pine flowers refer to some lumps, strips, and bands that are faintly visible on the surface of jadeite like dried moss and have the color of pine leaves. It is the green on the original jadeite rough, which has gradually lost its color after weathering. According to the shade of the pine flower's color, shape, direction, number, and density, the shade, direction, size, and shape of the green in it can be inferred.

The python belt is the epidermis of the jadeite rough, and the epidermis is the same dark or light color of weathered, semi-weathered sand grains, in the form of a belt, ring, block and other regular directional surname arrangement phenomenon, the python belt is generally parallel to the direction of the green.

There was a screeching sound from the calcine, and the group of guests didn't see green after wiping two windows, so they cut it directly. A knife cut off a leather shell about two centimeters thick, and another person immediately ran over and poured some water, Wu Di stood on the periphery, and when he didn't see anything, he heard him shouting excitedly:

"Youlu, the bet has risen, boss, your goods here are really good."

A roar gathered all the guests scattered around the stone machine, and the fat man Qian lay on the stone machine and looked at it twice, and said:

"The green color is good, I can't see the seed yet, but it should be a bean seed, and I can't cut it yet? If you don't cut it, you can sell it now. ”

"Cut, cut again."

There is a heckling.

Lao Zhang moved a little slowly, didn't squeeze in, and hurriedly shouted outside:

"I'll give 400,000!"

Then he said to the people in front of him:

"Jean, thank you, Jean, I've already made a bid."

No one on the scene increased the price, the bean seed is different from the ice seed, if this piece of wool can't solve the high green or the jade is not big enough, let alone 400,000, 200,000 yuan to buy wool money may not be returned.

Lao Zhang squeezed in, lay on the cut surface and watched it with a strong flashlight for a long time, stood up and didn't speak. After discussing it, the people who solved the stone decided to sell the wool to Lao Zhang, because the planting was not good, and then they had to bet on the color and the size of the jadeite, and the gambling surname was too big, so it was better to make a small profit and stop it immediately.

Lao Zhang smiled and used the money fat man's computer to transfer the account, and the money fat man scolded:

"Burn more money, you!"

"Fatty, you are outdated, in these years, jade is a good stone, and in two years, I am afraid that the bean seeds will be difficult to see."

Lao Zhang is not in a hurry to go, so that Wu Di also has the opportunity to appreciate the cut of the rough stone, to be honest, and he expected the difference is not a star and a half, there is no jade finished product smooth and transparent, no strong flashlight, no green at all, but the cut surface is relatively smooth, and the skin is completely two worlds.

Wu Di looked at it for a long time, Wen Yaru thought he was interested, pointed to a small rough stone spread on the ground and said:

"What? Interested? The small stone over there is cheap, 100 yuan, specially prepared for beginners, you can get a piece to try. ”

"Oh, so cheap?"

"If there is no jadeite, it is a broken stone, and a dollar is sky-high. If you want to play with a piece, if you don't want to play, let's go back to dinner. ”

Wu Di stepped forward and looked at it twice, directly found the largest piece, and showed it to Wen Yaru, Wen Yaru smiled bitterly:

"You're picky."

"I'm not in a hurry to go back to dinner. Anyway, I don't understand, it's a bit of luck. ”

Wen Yaru looked at it carefully and said:

"It's okay, it's a piece of wool, not a stone. Puzzled? If it's so big, just rub it with a small grinding wheel. ”

"I don't understand, let's take a trip, it's a save, let's gamble a stone."

Wen Yaru was not polite at all,

", you call it a gambling stone, what are other people's names? Fatty, how much? ”

"The first time the little brother came, what money do you have to pay, let's play with it."

"Who's the jadeite? Wu Di, throw him a hundred yuan and go to dinner. He deserves to lose, who let him pretend to be generous! ”
