227. A knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife pierces linen.
Uncle Wang felt that they were just taking a temporary break, and there was no need to find any big hotels; And Demingdao's identity is too special, and being low-key can avoid some unnecessary troubles, so after getting off the plane, he directly chose a small hotel to settle down.
Uncle Wang and his family were full of curiosity about this helmet that could suddenly turn people into nothing, and they tossed it a lot along the way, even when they were in the room. No, when they were tossing around the helmet, Deming Dao appeared.
The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and the scene was a little awkward. Deming said hello with a cough, then stood up and scanned the room as usual, and summoned his girlfriends out without finding any problems. Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment when he saw this trick of changing people, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Dai Mingdao introduced these five girls to Uncle Wang one by one, and the two of them got to know each other. Although they are all public faces now, their figures, temperament, aura and other attributes cannot be changed, and the second elder praised them again and again.
Now that everyone is here, there's no need to stay in this small hotel, it's important to get down to business! Uncle Wang led the way in front, and Dai Mingdao and they followed, and when they got out of the small hotel, they called a few cars and went straight to the jade products and rough stone distribution center in Tengchong.
Myanmar's jadeite is world-famous. As the main product of Myanmar's exports, jadeite has always been deeply loved by Chinese people. As one of the important ports of trade between China and Myanmar, Tengchong gathers more than half of the jadeite rough produced in Myanmar. After those jadeite rough stones are out of the pit, after the first wave of screening by the gambling stone masters, the rest will be transported to Tengchong's jadeite products and rough stone trading and distribution center for trading.
After decades of development, the original chaotic jadeite trading and distribution center has now embarked on the road of regularization and order. The entire distribution center is more like a large jade wholesale market, with a straight avenue passing through the gate, dividing the entire distribution center into two parts. From the avenue, there are many roads crisscrossing the huge distribution center into many blocks, each block is built with various styles of buildings, some are gorgeously decorated, magnificent, some are carved fences, antique. The entire distribution center looks orderly from the inside out.
About half of the site of the distribution center is used as a trading place for jadeite products, which is full of jadeite ornaments, pendants, bracelets, rings and other finished semi-finished products, what "glass species", "ice species", "glutinous seeds", "bean seeds" and other various grades of jadeite products are available, of course, the A goods, fakes are also endless, it depends on how your eyesight is.
The other half of the site is used as a trading ground for jadeite rough. The rough stones from the old and new pits in Myanmar have arrived here one after another and are put out for buyers to choose by themselves. No one knows whether the rough stone contains jadeite, and it all depends on experience, vision and a little luck. If the jadeite is called "out of the green", then you will be rich; If you open a pile of broken stones, you are unlucky, and you can't blame others. This is the "gambling house", which is commonly known as the "gambling stone".
There are two types of rough stones used for gambling stones: unwindowed rough stones and windowed rough stones.
In addition to the shape and weight, it is difficult to tell whether there is jadeite in the rough stone from the appearance alone, so the risk of this rough stone is extremely high, but the price of each piece is relatively cheap.
The risk of the rough stone that has been opened is relatively low, and these windows are generally the fracture of the pickaxe, and the method of irradiating the fracture by light can roughly determine whether the rough stone contains jadeite, which is much more certain. Therefore, the price of this kind of window rough stone is relatively high.
The existence of gambling stones has given birth to the special profession of gambling stones. They serve their employers with a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to minimize their losses. However, after all, the characteristics of gambling stones are in the word "gambling", luck accounts for the vast majority of the components, and theory and experience are not very reliable.
Dai Mingdao and a group of eight people came to this jadeite products and rough stone distribution center in a hurry, directly ignoring the finished and semi-finished jadeite products, and plunged into the gambling stone venue.
Along the way, Uncle Wang relied on his years of experience in the jade business to give Dai Mingdao a lot of knowledge about jadeite identification. If he knew that these jade rough stones were as private as a girl without clothes in the eyes of Deming Dao, then he wouldn't be depressed and spew out a mouthful of old blood!
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the gambling venue, they were attracted by the bustling flow of people, the sound of cutting, cheers and sighs.
Watching the gamblers who bloomed the jade were full of red faces and accepted the favor of everyone; The loser who opened a pile of stones was sad and walked out with a disgraced face, Uncle Wang shook his head and sighed: "There is a saying in this gambling stone world called 'A knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife wears linen.'" 'The thrill and the ups and downs of the road are exhausted. ”
"Uncle Wang, haven't you gambled on this before?" Meng Yuanyun asked curiously.
"I'm not as crazy as they are. I'm all about finished and semi-finished goods, and I'll pick a few pieces that look good here to try my luck when I'm done. But I also know that I don't have that life, so I don't dare to play more. Uncle Wang smiled and touched Meng Yuanyun's head. This little girl seems to be very close to Uncle Wang, and there is no rejection reaction.
"Have you ever opened a jadeite?" Xiaowei then asked.
"I'm ashamed, my money has been lost every time, and it hasn't come in so far." Uncle Wang smiled embarrassedly.
"Then you're in luck! You ask Mingdao to get you two pieces, and make sure that the blocks are green. Ann encouraged.
"How can it be so evil? Isn't it a fortune if it's green? Aunt Wang didn't believe this, "If you can get one out of ten yuan, that's great luck!" ”
An wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Lifei. There are a lot of people here, and it's not a good thing to be too high-profile.
Deming Dao said with a smile: "Since everyone has come out to play together, how about picking a few pieces to try their luck?" If you're lucky, you might be able to get something good!
Otherwise, each person takes out 10,000 yuan of capital, and each chooses the rough stone according to his preference until the money is spent. The rough stone picked back is cut on the spot, and the jadeite is of the highest value to see who picks out the rough stone. How about the most valuable lucky star invite everyone to dinner? ”
The girls thought that this gambling method was a little interesting, and immediately agreed, and went to choose the rough stone in twos and threes.
"Mingdao, are these five girls really your girlfriends? Won't they be jealous of each other? Uncle Wang leaned over and whispered gossip.
"Uncle Wang, you won't have any ...... Thoughts, right? Demingdao asked obscenely.
"How dare he?" Aunt Wang's ears were very bright, and she reached out and lifted Uncle Wang's ears. Uncle Wang hurriedly raised his hand and begged for mercy.
"Hey, isn't this Wu Zhizhuo? Why do you have time to come here today to gamble on stones? Behind the three of them came the voice of a middle-aged man with an awkward accent.
Uncle Wang looked back, immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Isn't this Brother Gang?" You're not staying in your own shop, what are you doing here? ”
"I just heard that I saw Wu Zhizhuo come to us to buy goods, but I didn't see anyone left and right, so I came to take a look at it strangely, it turns out that you came directly to the gambling stone venue, this is really rare! I don't know who these two are......," the visitor said.
"Let me introduce, this is my lover Sun Suli; This is my nephew Lin Chong. This time I brought my lover, nephew and girlfriend to this tour. Uncle Wang introduced: "This is Gang, Su Li, you can just call him Brother Gang; Chong'er, as a junior, you want to call Wu Gang. ”
Aunt Wang and Dai Mingdao greeted each other one after another. The guy who had just arrived in Burma was very talkative, and he got into a fight with Demingdao and the three of them in three or two sentences. When he learned that Dai Mingdao came here to gamble on stones, he strongly recommended the most famous gambling stone master and calcite master here to Dai Mingdao. The stone master will be able to use it, and Dai Mingdao stayed without saying a word, while the gambling stone master Dai Mingdao refused with a smile.
With Uncle Wang and Gang accompanying him to bargain, the price of those rough stones was naturally much cheaper. Dai Mingdao began to choose wool from the first place at the door, and wrote a big "forest" on the wool with a pen, indicating that this rough stone has been selected by him, and others can not choose it again.
Deming Dao selected the wool very quickly, quickly glanced at the wool, and then wrote the transaction directly, not at all like others carefully observed and studied piece by piece, it looked like a wealthy gentleman was hitting the luck, and he shook his head straight.
In just a few minutes, he looked at all the rough materials of the first one and selected five of them to buy. These five pieces are relatively small, three of them are unwindowed, two hundred are not opened, and three thousand are opened, and a total of six thousand and six are spent.
The shopkeeper highly recommended a very good-looking window-opening rough stone Deming Dao did not buy it, which made Gang who was standing on the side very surprised. He leaned over and said, "Judging from the surface texture and the color of the window, that rough stone is quite good, why don't you buy it?" Do you think his asking price is too high, I can help you talk about the price. ”
"Wu Gang, you're too worried. I don't know what rough rough is used, and I bought those five rough stones by feeling and luck. When I saw the original windowing stone just now, I didn't feel good, so I didn't buy it. Deming said, packing the wool and walking to the next one.
In fact, the original stone highly recommended by the store is not bad, the part of the window out of a thin piece of "glutinous seed", and two other parts are also green, but the volume is too small, can only be used for rings and earrings, and the requirements of Deming Road are far from the requirements. In general, the asking price of this piece of fenestrated jade is neither a loss nor a profit, and cutting it is a pure waste of time, so it is better to keep it for the harm of others.
