Chapter Seventy-Five: Gambling Stones
Feng Meng was surrounded by these people who were about the same age as him, all of whom had extraordinary bearings, and at first glance they were the children of rich families.
Feng Meng was a relatively thin person, and as soon as he saw Ye Xiao, he smiled and hugged him. The Feng family and the Ye family are world friends, and it is obvious that Feng Meng and Ye Xiao know each other.
After hugging Ye Xiao, he turned around and wanted to come over to hug Ye Ling'er, but was blocked by Lin Han.
"Who are you?"
Feng Meng stared at the strange young man in front of him with some anger and asked unhappily.
"Lin Han."
Lin Han said lightly, but he didn't mean to get out of the way.
Feng Meng looked at Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know him, I picked him up on the road, my cousin's friend." ”
Hearing that it was Ye Ling'er's friend, Feng Meng looked at Lin Han's expression even more unhappy, and leaned close to Lin Han and said, "Ling'er will know such a friend?" ”
Lin Han looked at Feng Meng's eyes full of disdain, and suddenly his eyes froze, and a cold light shot out.
Feng Meng only felt a bang in his brain, as if a muffled thunder exploded in his mind, and he staggered back a few steps.
In the eyes of others, they thought that Feng Meng was frightened away by Lin Han's eyes, and they all cast chuckling glances.
Shaking his head and standing for a long time, Feng Meng came to his senses, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Lin Han.
"What happened just now, was this kid doing it?"
But seeing Lin Han's appearance that he didn't care about himself, Feng Meng was helpless, thinking that he had just had a delusion. However, after that moment just now, he didn't dare to trouble Lin Han anymore, so he turned around and introduced to Ye Xiao.
"Brother Ye, these two are Haizhou City's Dashao Wu Hao, Tongcheng Dashao Quhetu, they all followed their elders and came to my grandfather's birthday banquet, just like you, come to our Wanyu Pavilion to play before starting."
A few rich kids got to know each other.
Wu Hao and Qu Hetu's family did not have any contact with the Ye family in the southeast, but they had heard that the Ye family had a pearl Ye Ling'er, and when they saw it today, they felt that this woman's appearance and appearance really deserved her reputation, especially the beautiful temperament on her body, which made people involuntarily want to be close to her.
It's a pity that they have all heard that the Ye family intends to marry this pearl to the Blue River of the Lan family in the East China Sea, compared to the Blue River, they all admit that they are ashamed.
But now I can finally get to know this beauty first.
However, Ye Ling'er only greeted them politely, and then kept chatting with the guy named Lin Han, making people have no idea where to start.
The two of them are now the same as Feng Meng, and they hate this Lin Han very much.
Several people walked towards the hall.
There are almost twenty customers in the entire hall on the second floor, there are no cubicles here, it is completely opened, and there are some columns in the middle.
Around the hall, there are a lot of exquisite jade artifacts that have been carved and formed, and indeed as Ye Xiao said, the jade here is indeed not a grade compared to those in the shops outside.
Inside the hall, there are many rock-like stones, some large and some small, and in front of the stones, they are clearly marked according to the size.
The customers wandered around the stones, tapping their hands twice from time to time.
As soon as I looked at their dress, I knew that there were some people from who came to Wanyu Pavilion, how could they not have money.
But when Ye Ling'er saw it, she didn't know why these people bought these stones, and what made her even more curious was that those rocks looked like they were just ordinary rocks, why did they sell for such a high price!
Lin Han knew that this was the original stone!
I didn't expect this Wanyu Pavilion to even have a gambling stone business.
The so-called rough stone is that some jadeite jade that has just been mined is wrapped in a layer of weathered rock, which looks like an ordinary rock on the outside, but is actually a layer of jade.
And buying this kind of rough stone is called gambling stone.
The reason why there is a gambling word is because buying this kind of rough stone is extremely risky.
Ten kilograms of rough stones, of which the jade part may be less than ten grams, and even worse, there is no jade component at all, and it is a rock when you buy it.
But some rough stones, ten kilograms, can cut out nine kilograms of jade, if the jade texture is high-quality, then it will make a lot of money.
Because although the price of rough stone is higher than that of ordinary ore, it is far lower than the price of jade, so it is a profit or a loss, only at the moment when the rough stone is cut.
Lin Han once saw a news that at the gambling stone conference in the capital, a person spent 10 million to buy a piece of rough stone that was one person high, and the jade cut out was worth 100 million.
That's what it means to get rich overnight.
However, gambling stones is extremely risky and costly, and there are many people who have lost their fortunes because of gambling stones.
Lin Han learned about gambling stones, looked at the price of the rough stones here, and found that they were much more expensive than ordinary rough stones.
Feng Meng introduced to Ye Xiao and the others: "The second floor of our Wanyu Pavilion is specially used for gambling stones. Don't look at the price of our rough stones here is higher than outside, that's because the rough stones we put here are all jadeite rough imported from Myanmar, and there is a great chance of producing good jade. ”
Ye Xiao and the others were interested, they liked the game with a gambling nature the most, so they planned to try their luck and began to select the original stones.
The rough stones here range from 800 to 5,000 pieces per kilogram, and the price is mainly differentiated according to the texture of the outer rock wall.
The rough stone with better rock coat texture is often much higher than the probability of producing high-quality jade.
Soon, the three of them had selected their respective rough stones and were ready to cut them on the spot.
And those customers who are here, when they see someone wanting to cut jade, also come up to join in the fun.
I saw that the jade stones selected by the three people were of different sizes, but the smallest one was also 60 kilograms, all of which were the best rough stones, with a total value of more than 3 million.
Although these customers are all wealthy, they also lament that they are generous to these rich and young people.
Because most of these customers are veterans, they have a vicious eye, and they will not take it lightly. And the three people chose the stone, that is, they relied on their own money, and they chose that one when they saw it.
They are different from those professional stone gamblers who count on gambling stones for food, they are not short of money, and they enjoy the excitement of the unknown being revealed.
These people are just here to play.
The gambling stones of Wanyu Pavilion are cut by the professional jade cutters here, and the techniques are very delicate, which can ensure that the jade surface cut out is bright and neat to the greatest extent.
When the master began to cut, the onlookers held their breath, whether they bought the rough stone themselves or not, they would feel the tension in person.
That's the fun of gambling on stones.
Finally, the three rough stones were cut, among which Ye Xiao and Wu Hao's jade were cut out, although they looked less than one-tenth of the volume of the original stone from the cut surface, but there was jade anyway.
And the original stone of the Quhe diagram was cut several times in a row, and I didn't even see the shadow of the jade.
Angry, he went to the hall again to pick up the rough stones.
In the eyes of these young people, this is also a way for them to compete with each other, and if they can't cut out the jade, they naturally feel faceless.
Although the value of the jade cut out by Ye Xiao was not as good as the price of the rough stone bought, it was the highest among the three, and he couldn't help but be proud.
At this time, he glanced at Lin Han, who was completely out of the way and only chatting with his cousin, and a hint of banter suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He came to Lin Han's side and said, "Brother Lin, why are you just chatting here, it's rare to come here once, don't you go to play?" ”
Lin Han smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't like gambling." ”
At this time, Feng Meng also came over and sneered: "This little brother doesn't understand, although the gambling stone has a gambling word, it is a legal business and does not belong to gambling." I don't think you don't like to play, but you're shy and can't afford to play! Hahahaha! ”
Wu Hao also said: "Yes, you can't even afford the original stone, let alone buy jade, I don't know, you can't afford anything, what are you doing in Wanyu Pavilion, it's better to get out." ”
Several of them were very loud, and those customers also heard it, and their eyes were a little disdainful when they looked at Lin Han, and some even laughed together.
Seeing this, Lin Han was angry in his heart.
Ye Ling'er next to her saw that Lin Han was being teased like this, although she was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't say anything.
She also thought that Lin Han had no money, so she was ready to pay for him to choose the original stone, took Lin Han's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and choose a few stones." ”
If two people buy it together, then Lin Han is equivalent to buying it, at least it can resolve the embarrassment.
Ling'er is really still so kind......
Lin Han was very moved in his heart, but shook his head at her and said, "No, I bring the money, I can buy it myself." ”
He looked at Feng Meng and said secretly in his heart.
You brought it on yourself!
Lin Han didn't bring his card, took out the only five hundred yuan of cash he was carrying from his pocket, and said leisurely: "Then I'll buy five hundred rough stones first to try my luck." ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
What? Five hundred?
