Chapter 10 The first time to set foot in the world of gambling stones
Although the Xie family is also a gambling stone family, because the Xie family's headquarters is in the magic capital, and the Xie family has been very low-key in recent years, it is very likely that the newcomers who have entered the gambling stone world have not heard of the Xie family, but they must know the overlord of the gambling stone world - the Shen family. The main development market of the Shen family is City A, although the business in the magic capital is also very large, they will not use it as the main battlefield, because there is still the Xie family in the magic capital that can match them, and they will not be stupid enough to let the two families kill each other, and then do the stupid act of making other families profitable.
It can be said that in the entire Huaguo, the northern market is dominated by the Xie family, and the overlord of the southern market is the Shen family.
This time, Mr. Xie asked Gu Xiang to come to City A to develop first, in fact, in addition to wanting Gu Xiang to go to school and hone his gambling skills, he also had other purposes.
The five generations of the Xie family have been passed down from generation to family, and when they arrived at Gu Xiang's grandfather, they gave birth to a daughter named Gu Xiang's mother, and the whole family was full of hope, hoping that Gu Xiang's mother could obtain the family inheritance, but they didn't expect that Gu Xiang's mother didn't have that kind of opportunity at all.
Later, when Gu Xiang was born, Xie Lao was also hopeful, but he didn't expect that Gu Xiang had not yet obtained the inheritance at the age of fifteen, and when Xie Lao was disheartened and found a way for the descendants of the Xie family, he suddenly learned that Gu Xiang had obtained the family inheritance.
People are greedy, and once there is hope, people's ambitions and desires will naturally increase.
Over the years, it seems that the Xie family and the Shen family are still competing with each other, but that is just the opinion of outsiders, in fact, the Xie family has been going downhill, let's talk about the market of the magic capital, it turns out that the entire magic jewelry market, the Xie family can account for ninety percent, but recently due to the overall decline in the quality of the Xie family's jewelry, the Xie family's share in the magic jewelry market is only seventy percent.
If it is for ordinary merchants, it may not be much worse, but for the Xie family, who are in the jewelry business and gambling stone business, this is not a matter of millions and tens of millions, these two percent of the market share can make the entire Chinese people eat abalone and seafood for a whole year, so much profit, how can Xie Lao let it go?
Another purpose of letting Gu Xiang come to City A this time was to let her explore the way of gambling stones in City A, and to prepare for the Xie family to officially move into City A.
Although the Xie family has long had a business leader in City A, their market share in City A is really small and pitiful, and they don't even have one thousandth of the Shen family, so to speak, quite nothing.
The reason why Xie Lao is so persistent in wanting to live in City A is actually to put it bluntly, it is also to vent a bad breath.
When their Xie family was going downhill, the Shen family saw the right time and snatched their Xie family's market share of 20% of the demon capital accurately, ruthlessly and steadily, which was a shame for the Xie family and something that Xie Lao could not tolerate, so he wanted revenge.
Gu Xiang, who was studying the golden invitation, didn't know what responsibility she was taking.
The higher-level gambling stone tournament in City A is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and the gambling stone tournament is also graded.
Like the invitation card that Gu Xiang got with the golden silk, it will only be distributed by the top gambling stone conference, and ordinary people will never get it, and the people who get this golden silk invitation are either rich or expensive.
Thinking that Zhang Ming could get such an invitation, and then thinking of his grandfather's praise for him when he came to City A, Gu Xiang had to say that his grandfather was really accurate in seeing people.
Zhang Ming is not only cautious, he is also good at figuring out people's minds, knowing that he is just a little girl who is just eighteen years old, so when he booked a hotel suite for himself, he specially chose a suite with the owner's youthful vitality, but it is a pity that he did not play cards according to common sense, and now in this body, there is a twenty-eight-year-old woman with life experience, so she has not had so many requirements for what environment to live in.
After getting a general understanding of the gambling stone conference she was going to attend on Saturday, Gu Xiang went to the antique street that she had always been thinking about.
This kind of antique street, or Gu Xiang her grandfather recommended to her, although the antique street does gambling stone business players very few, but can be in this kind of antique street, do gambling stone business, most of them have a background behind them, go there to go shopping and play, really increase knowledge.
Since Zhang Ming had other things to deal with, when he left, he specially equipped Gu Xiang with a driver and an assistant.
said that he was an assistant, but in fact, he was afraid that Gu Xiang would be bored, so he came to play with Gu Xiang.
The driver's name is Zhao Gang, a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks very kind, laughs all day long, and is a particularly interesting uncle.
The assistant's name is Zhang Yue, Zhang Ming's distant relative, who is now a sophomore undergraduate student at University A, because she has not yet started school, she was arrested by her uncle to be a strong man.
Tong guò talking on the road, Gu Xiang found that Zhang Yue is a very bold girl, what to say, will not play with you, Gu Xiang likes such people, so the two of them are very close to each other, in the car Zhang Yue chattered about the embarrassing things she committed in college all the way, although they are all trivial things in life, but Gu Xiang listened to it with relish.
Arriving at the entrance of the antique street, Gu Xiang and Zhang Yue got out of the car, and the driver, Uncle Zhao, went to find the parking lot and prepared to park the car.
Even though it's only at the entrance of the antique street, you can already feel the antique atmosphere.
The round arches made of blue bricks, the doors and windows made of mahogany, and the ancient utensils that can be seen everywhere make you feel as if you are really in the hustle and bustle of ancient times.
Entering the Yuanmen Offering Gate, Gu Xiang and Zhang Yue realized that what they had just seen was just the tip of the iceberg.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of antiques, including jade, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, and in addition, there are all kinds of gadgets.
I have to say that the antique street is different from the sellers in other places, when you look at things, the boss will sit far away, people neither come forward to enthusiastically sell, nor do they judge the quality of the things you buy, fancy them, just buy, but as long as the goods are sold, people are not responsible, this is the rule of the antique street, whether you buy this antique is earned or lost, the seller will no longer interfere.
Just when Gu Xiang and Zhang Yue were strolling around this antique street, they suddenly found that a group of people quickly surrounded the front.
Zhang Yue, who was born to love to be lively, how could she miss such a good thing, so she hurriedly dragged Gu Xiang towards the crowd.
