Chapter 44 The madman buys, the madman sells, and the madman waits
Tengchong is located in the southwest of Yunnan Yunnan, west of Myanmar, under the jurisdiction of Baosu City, its name began in the "Old Tang Book", is a famous jade distribution center in China. In Tengchong, jadeite buyers come here every day and every moment, and jadeite sellers can be seen everywhere, and everywhere there are piles of yellow or black 'stones' that can make people crazy.
It was noon when Wang Qi, Ouyang Mengxin, Shen Junya and Su Xiaomei came to Tengchong, and the four of them didn't bother to have lunch, so they contacted the investor and asked for the address. On the way here, Shen Junya briefly introduced the situation of the gold owner for Wang Qi and others, the other party's name is Jin Xuezheng, the big boss of a real estate company in Beijing, very famous in the circle, in addition to real estate, in recent years, he has begun to get involved in film and television investment and made a lot of money. It's just that this person is a little weird, and he feels that he has a fate, and he can't wait to be friends with the other party immediately. As for the fate, even he himself couldn't tell. However, in Wang Qi's view, what is fate or not, in fact, is to look pleasing to the eye and not to the eye. Rich people are like this, proud.
After asking, the four of them took a car to the location that Jin Xuezheng had promised, a jade market. It's very big, there are a lot of people, it's bustling, it's very lively, it's usually a group of three or five people gathered together, some sighing, some screaming like a bunch of crazy people.
"What about others?" Wang Qi frowned and looked at Shen Junya and asked, the scorching sun was in the sky, and he stuck out his tongue in the sun, he was really hot like a dog.
"I don't know." Shen Junya replied, "He said that we came to find it ourselves, and we were destined to meet each other." β
"Fart! With so many people, where to find them? Thousands of miles to come here, play with us? Wang Qi said angrily, and kept fanning the wind with the fan he just bought, but the wind was hot.
"There's no way around that, let's look for it from stall to stall, anyway, he's gambling on stones here, and he can't leave until night." Shen Junya turned her head to look at Ouyang Mengxin beside her and asked, "What do you say?" β
"That's all there is to it." Ouyang Mengxin, who was wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, said helplessly.
If it is a business to find someone in the jade market, then it is undoubtedly a boring and painful thing, but if you take this trip to Tengchong as a tour, then the mood is different.
Ouyang Mengxin looked curiously at the stones of different sizes placed on the ground, the small ones were the size of eggs, and the large ones were calculated by the ton, with prices ranging from hundreds to tens of millions, it was hard to imagine that the stones could be sold at such a high price, and it was enough to make a movie. After looking for a few companies, Ouyang Mengxin shifted his attention from looking for investors to these magical stones.
"Why is this stone so expensive?" Ouyang Mengxin asked Wang Qi beside him in a low voice.
"These are not ordinary stones, simply put, when the jadeite rough is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin, and no instrument can detect the quality of its interior, and it must be cut to know its value. No one is sure of winning, even if they are seasoned experts, they will inevitably look away. The stones you see are all wool, and at first glance, they are all stones that can be found everywhere, but there may be something hidden in them. Wang Qi explained for Ouyang Mengxin, "So for buyers, this is equivalent to gambling." A knife is poor, a knife is rich, a knife is draped in linen, this is the jargon circulating in the gambling stone circle, after cutting the 'gambling stone', the buyer becomes rich overnight or bankrupt, and it is immediately clear. β
Gambling stone is a very popular way of trading jadeite rough in the border area of Yunnan and Myanmar, it has a gambling color, strong stimulation, and a sense of mystery, attracting jade merchants from all over the world, as well as tourists, which can be described as enduring. The gambling stone has a long history in Tengchong, which is said to have a history of thousands of years, and has gradually formed an industrial chain, and has become a local cultural imprint.
"That's crazy, isn't it?" Ouyang Mengxin exclaimed.
"Haven't you heard of it? Gambling stones are, madmen buy, madmen sell, and madmen wait. You say people are crazy, but people don't think so. β
As soon as Wang Qi's words fell, there were bursts of exclamations from a crowd in front of him.
"Seeing green, it's rising!"
"I'll sell it to me for two million, how about it?"
"It's only two million, and you're embarrassed to shout? I'm out ...... Two and a half million. β
"Two hundred and five? You're swearing! β
The woman's curiosity was fully revealed at this time, and Ouyang Mengxin squeezed in with a good thing, and when he saw it, why did he open his mouth to be millions? Shen Junya didn't have the heart to look at the excitement, and told Wang Qi to pay attention to Mengxin's safety, and then went with Su Xiaomei to find someone. Wang Qi was originally not interested in gambling stones, but it can be seen that Ouyang Mengxin has passed, and he can only follow to protect the other party.
In the crowd, an old man is sitting in front of the machine to cut the rough stone, the window is green, very beautiful, the middle-aged man standing aside is obviously the owner of this rough stone, after seeing the window green, he is excited, and nervous, and his forehead keeps sweating out.
After a while, someone had already shouted four million. The middle-aged man on the steps wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and his eyes began to turn red when he looked at the stones.
"Do you still cut it?" The stone-cutting master looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
The middle-aged man with a flushed face looked around at the people shouting around him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Cut!" β
The master nodded, and with experience, he started cutting from the other side of the stone, and a thick layer of skin fell off, but this time there was no green at all. The old master cut a knife horizontally along the place where he saw the green before, but there was still no, and after a few more knives, the whole stone was basically solved. I saw a stone of seven or eight catties, only a little green at the beginning, and there was nothing in other places.
"It's over, these knives are wasted."
"It's not costly, tens of thousands of dollars are still worth it, carve a jade pendant."
"When that stone was bought, it was more than 100,000 yuan, and tens of thousands of yuan was a fart, and I couldn't even get it back."
The old master returned the stone to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man was depressed at this time, he could have earned millions, but now he has accompanied tens of thousands of yuan, as for the people around him who kept shouting millions of prices, they were all glad that the middle-aged man did not sell them, otherwise they would have lost.
"Let's go, what's there to see." Wang Qi stretched his long neck, like a giraffe-like Ouyang Mengxin, this woman's little face was flushed, and her eyes were shining.
Ouyang Mengxin reluctantly followed Wang Qi out of the crowd, and whispered to Wang Qi, "It seems, it's quite interesting." After saying that, his eyes still looked into the crowd.
"Don't forget, you're here to find someone." Wang Qi glanced at Ouyang Mengxin, he really didn't realize that this woman was so gambling.
"I know." Ouyang Mengxin said, "I just think that if we can buy it a few times, maybe we will have the money to make a movie." β
"Yes, if you can buy it every time, the richest man in the world is yours." Wang Qi said angrily, "Inch jade is hard to break, understand?" People who gamble think they will win when they gamble money, but how many win in the end? Do you think you have clairvoyance? β
"There are thousands of dollars there, and there are tens of thousands of dollars, it's okay to bet on one and play, how can there be someone who doesn't gamble on stones in Tengchong? You tell me? Ouyang Mengxin looked at Wang Qi excitedly and said, asking for Wang Qi's opinion.
Wang Qi looked at the other party, he didn't seem to understand anything just now, but now he immediately became an expert. "Do you have money and nowhere to spend it? When will you take tens of thousands of dollars to honor me? β
"Okay, just buy a piece." Ouyang Mengxin took Wang Qi's hand, begging Wang Qi in a loud voice, looking like a girl was coquettish to her boyfriend.
Wang Qi was screamed by Ouyang Mengxin's body for a while, the other party's singing voice was called the sound of heaven, I don't know how many people were captured, but now he used this sound of heaven to be coquettish at him, not to mention that he is a man, even if he is an iron man, I am afraid that he will be melted away. "You have the money, you can buy it if you want, don't owe me the wages of a migrant worker."
When Ouyang Mengxin heard Wang Qi's promise, he immediately rewarded Wang Qi with a sweet smile, and then plunged into a nearby shop, looking left and right at the rough stones placed on the place, looking very professional.
In fact, in Wang Qi's opinion, Ouyang Mengxin's behavior is very normal, here, it is the same as following up the casino, you can always hear someone shouting "It's up, it's up", and the price of millions of dollars keeps being shouted. There are many people who gamble poorly and crazy gamblers, but gambling stones has never made people intimidating, especially for people like Ouyang Mengxin who are in urgent need of money now, of course, they have to gamble and use luck to fight for fate.
"Dude, that's all?" Ouyang Mengxin looked around and didn't pick out a satisfactory stone, either too small or too expensive, what she wanted was the kind that was big and cheap.
Although Ouyang Mengxin wore a sunhat and sunglasses, his delicate figure and noble temperament could not be concealed. When the shopkeeper saw Ouyang Mengxin's temperament, he immediately reached out and pointed into the room, and said with a smile, "Miss, please come inside." When Ouyang Mengxin heard this, he immediately walked into the store pΓΉ happily, and Wang Qi followed closely behind, and under the leadership of the shop guy, he came to the courtyard of the shop.
It is a place similar to the courtyard house in the capital, but the front one is used as a shop, and the back one is used as a residence, and on both sides are warehouses full of stones, the largest of which is more than one person high, and the pile in the courtyard looks particularly spectacular. Looking at the price above, 30 million, even if you are a billionaire, it is estimated that you will not dare to make a move at will.
"Miss, take a look at it, is there a suitable one? Once you've chosen, just call me. The shopkeeper nodded at Ouyang Mengxin and said, then turned around and went to the front store.
Ouyang Mengxin was very satisfied with the stones in front of him, all of them were more than the ones outside, and a considerable part of them were green through the windows, but the price was not cheap. The cheaper ones are not green, and they look like big rocks from the outside.
There are still several waves of people in the courtyard, and they are even more expert than experts when they keep shining into the green stones with strong light means.
However, among these waves of people, there is a person who is very special, the other party is wearing a linen half-sleeved shirt and trousers, a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, pinching his chin with one hand, squatting on the ground and staring at a stone that does not see green, shaking the fan gently with the other hand, there is only one word on the white fan: Yuan!
Wang Qi's eyes narrowed, as if he thought of something, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing an unfathomable smile, and then walked towards the other party.
