Chapter 70: The Secret in the Stone
"Xie Feng's uncle is Xie Shu in the city. Remember, he opened a small company, and in the past two years, he has pulled his uncle's tiger skin everywhere, making a lot of money and pit a lot of people. ”
Song Yuying's words made the doubts in Luo Ping's heart suddenly brighten, no wonder Xie Feng was so arrogant and domineering, it turned out to be too . Sub-party.
After meeting Xie Feng, Luo Ping and Song Yuying were no longer interested in shopping, so they called a car to go to several scenic spots around Tengchong. Under the introduction of the driver, I went to the Volcano Park and the Beihai Wetland, and Zuihou went to the Dieshui River Waterfall.
The next morning, before nine o'clock, Fan Shuiling came to the hotel and drove them to Tengchong's famous Jade Street. This street is a bit similar to the antique street in Jiangcheng, except that the street is lined with jade and jade shops, and many shops are piled up with large and small stones.
Before Luo Ping came to Tengchong, he had learned about the relevant knowledge of the original stone on the Internet, and he also had a certain understanding of the current rough stone market. However, when he asked a few shop owners, he was devastated by the offers he received.
A fist-sized rough stone was quoted at a high price of one million, Luo Ping was a little dumbfounded and a little discouraged, it seems that his one million capital can't buy a big stone at all, and it is even more wishful thinking to make a lot of money.
"Sister Fan, are the rough stones sold so expensive?" Song Yuying had never touched the rough stone, and was a little surprised by this offer.
"Not necessarily, this piece of rough stone does not look big, but from the outside, the possibility of green is very high, so the price is high. And judging from the place where it was wiped, it may even be a glass species. ”
Seeing Song Yuying's puzzled look, she smiled and continued to explain, "To put it simply, jadeite mainly evaluates its quality from two aspects. One is purity, the purest is called glass, followed by ice and waxy; The other is transparency, which we commonly call the water head, and the two together are collectively called 'planting water'. The more water you plant, the higher the price. ”
In the process of her explanation, Luo Ping quietly turned on the treasure hunting skill, and this rough stone, which could be expelled from the glass jadeite from the outside, did not have much attraction to his right hand.
"Damn, the gambling stone is really cruel!"
Luo Ping broke out in a cold sweat, if anyone spent a million to buy this stone, they would lose their money.
After leaving the shop, Luo Ping tried several times, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he didn't come across a rough stone that could make his right hand have a huge attraction.
"These wool materials are all left after selection, and the better ones have long been bought, and the rest of the gambling is not too high." Fan Shuiling's ability to observe words and expressions is very good, and he knows his thoughts from the subtle expression on Luo Ping's face. She was a little surprised, she didn't expect Luo Ping to be able to see that these wool materials were not of much value.
Not everyone has the same ability to hunt for treasures as Luo Ping, these shops are crowded with jewelers and tourists who have rushed from all over the world, and from time to time there are small exclamations or regrets from the crowd, and there is a possibility of gambling and gambling failure.
Luo Ping squeezed into the crowd and watched for a while, and saw a middle-aged man from the south who bought a piece of wool for 10,000 yuan. On the other hand, two other girls who looked like students spent 300 yuan to buy a small piece of wool, and after the boss helped them cut it, he said that it could be sold for more than 4,000, and the two female students screamed happily.
Song Yuying's eyes lit up, eager to try, Luo Ping smiled and took her hand: "Let's go, there's nothing to see here, it's better to go to her friend with Sister Fan." ”
Song Yuying's attention was still focused on what had just happened in the store, and she didn't react at all to Luo Ping holding her hand. Fan Shuiling saw it, she just smiled lightly, and led them to the front.
After walking out of the store, Song Yuying reacted, quickly withdrew her hand, and looked at Luo Ping, who was smiling evilly beside her, and her heart was pounding.
Fan Shuiling quickly led them into a large courtyard that resembled a warehouse, and when they entered, there were no less than thirty people standing inside, and some familiar people were gathering in groups and talking in small voices.
In the corner of the courtyard, there is a pile of rough stones that look like a hill, but they have been covered with plastic sheets, so the details are not visible.
"Miss Song, hello, we meet again."
Song Yuying looked back and nodded at the other party, "Mr. Guo, hello." With that, he ignored him and turned his head to look at the pair of rough stones in front of him.
"I didn't expect Miss Song to be interested in gambling stones, wait a while, you can tell me which one you like, and I will help you buy it, how about it as a meeting gift for Miss Song."
Luo Ping glanced at him, and saw that this guy looked arrogant and conceited.
"Don't bother Mr. Guo, I still have the money to buy a few stones." Song Yuying didn't look back at him at all, and her tone was obviously cold.
After touching a soft nail, a trace of hatred appeared on the glasses man's face, which flashed away, and he quickly regained his confident smile.
"Everyone, be quiet!" A middle-aged man with a strong physique walked up to the pile of stones and said loudly, his voice was thick, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"Thank you all for coming to support my old biao. This batch of wool is an authentic old pit rough stone, which is very precious, and I hope you will not miss this opportunity. I also wish everyone all the best in their hearts and make a lot of money. ”
With his order, several young people walked over and uncovered the plastic sheeting, revealing dozens of large and small rough stones underneath.
"The rules are still the same, every stone has to be auctioned, and the highest price wins. Now there is still half an hour before the official start of filming, and you can take a closer look at this batch of stones. ”
A group of people rushed up and ran forward to choose their favorite stones. Luo Ping followed behind and said secretly, "This batch of stones is from the old pit, the price must be high, I definitely can't afford the large ones, I can only see if I can find value in the small stones." ”
After making up his mind, Luo Ping vigorously rummaged through the small pieces of wool that everyone else basically disdained, Song Yuying also followed him and looked at the stones with great interest, and Fan Shuiling also went into battle in person, and you rummaged through the stone pile.
The corner of the glasses man who followed him showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said to Song Yuying with a smile, "Miss Song, I have a master here who is very proficient in the original stone, why don't you let him help you choose two?" ”
"No need, Xiexie!"
After touching the nail three times and twice, he finally showed an impatient look on his face, and at this time, the few people who had been following him picked up the rocks like a hill, and soon reaped the rewards.
"Guo Shao, No. 29, No. 43, No. 68 stones are all good. Among them, No. 68 stone is likely to produce glass jadeite. ”
Guo Shao'an, 27 years old this year, has just taken over the family's jewelry business in the mainland, and this time he came to Tengchong with Xie Feng, in addition to wanting to take the opportunity to get in touch with him, he also came to gamble on the stone.
When he heard the three words of glass, he couldn't help but change color, "Are you sure?" ”
"Eighty percent sure." The person who spoke to him was a short man in his forties, named Chen Sheng, who was mediocre in appearance. But Guo Shaoan didn't dare to be careless about his words, because it was this Chen Sheng who helped him photograph the priceless jade rough more than once, and it turned out that his vision was definitely very vicious.
Guo Shaoan glanced at Song Yuying, who was still picking in the pile of rubble, and quietly suppressed the desire to walk over and continue to talk.
"Continue to look for it, this batch of materials are all old pit raw stones from the Pagang factory, the quality is very good, it is very likely that the best jadeite will be opened, you all be careful, don't miss it."
Luo Ping quietly opened the treasure hunting skill, seemingly simple and random rummaging, in fact, as long as he took it, he could know whether there was jade in the stone.
Soon he had a catch.
