Chapter 31: Gambling Stones
While strolling around, Cheng Hao smelled almost all the stalls, and found nothing valuable.
Just as he was about to return to the Coin Pavilion, there was a commotion in front of him, which made him suddenly full of curiosity.
"Wow! Young Master Ma actually opened the Ice Seed Jade! ”
"Oh my God, this ice seed is worth at least 200,000, right? Young Master Ma has made a lot of money! ”
"Young Master Ma is worthy of being the king of Jiangnan gambling stones, this eyesight is not blown, it's too powerful!"
……
Cheng Hao looked ahead, and saw a large group of people forming a circle, about seventy or eighty, and everyone was very excited.
He couldn't see clearly in the middle of the crowd, didn't know what was happening, and walked over curiously.
Pushing away the crowd in front, I finally squeezed in and saw a stall in the middle of the crowd, this stall was not selling antiques and antiques, but selling stones!
To be precise, this is called jade wool, that is, gambling stones!
Gambling stone is a bit of a side with antiques, but it is not the same industry, both require rich experience, but antiques are more a test of experience and eyesight, and gambling stones in addition to experience, but also need some luck, the risk is very high.
Some people spend thousands of dollars to buy a piece of wool, and when they open it, they see that it is a large piece of gold wire jadeite, and they get rich overnight and make millions, but there are also people who spend millions to buy a large piece of wool, and after cutting it, it is full of stones, and they lose their money.
The crowd cheered just now, just because someone spent 20,000 yuan and gambled 200,000 ice jade, which attracted everyone's envy.
But Cheng Hao couldn't be happy, because the person who gambled 200,000 ice seed jadeites was his sworn enemy, Young Master Ma Junma!
Ma Jun is here, so Liu Tingting must be here too?
Cheng Hao glanced at the crowd, and sure enough, Liu Tingting was standing on the side, she was wearing a short black skirt, revealing her long white legs, stepping on red high heels, and her face was full of excitement at the moment.
Liu Tingting was holding a piece of cut jadeite in her hand, crystal clear, graceful like a piece of crystal, very beautiful.
"Husband, this piece of jade is so beautiful, can it be processed into necklaces and bracelets and given to me?"
The corners of Ma Jun's mouth twitched twice, such a big piece of jade, worth 200,000, if he gave it all to her, he would definitely feel distressed.
However, in front of so many people, he couldn't help but agree, otherwise people would definitely say that he was stingy, the dignified young master of the Ma family, and a piece of jade was reluctant to give to his girlfriend.
"Hey, hey, of course, I want to give it to you, baby." Ma Junqiang smiled, pretending not to care on the surface, but in fact, his heart was dripping blood.
"Thank you, husband, I love you." Liu Tingting smiled happily, hugged him and kissed him on the face, leaving a big lipstick mark.
The onlookers were red with envy again.
"Young Master Ma is so generous, such a good jade was given directly to his girlfriend."
"That's, don't you look at how beautiful Young Master Ma's girlfriend is?"
"Yes, if she were my girlfriend, I would give it away!"
The envious voice of everyone fell into Ma Jun's ears, which made him feel very happy.
Ma Jun has been gambling on stones for five or six years, and the jadeite he has opened adds up to hundreds of pieces, and every time the stone is cut by the machine, the nervous excitement always makes his blood boil and he can't stop.
In Jiangnan, when it comes to gambling stones, I'm afraid no one can compare to him.
Moreover, the Mars Group is engaged in the jewelry industry, and every year it needs to buy a large number of jadeite raw materials, and then process them into jewelry for sale.
The Ma Group occupies 70% of the jewelry market in Jiangnan, and half of the jewelry stores in Jiangnan are opened by Ma Jun's family.
Therefore, industry insiders gave Ma Jun a nickname, calling him the king of gambling stones.
Just opened a piece of ice jade, Ma Jun is now on the rise, ready to bet a few more stones, maybe today with good luck, he can open another good goods.
He picked out five stones in good condition in front of the stall for half a minute, and asked the stall owner, "Boss Zhou, how much are these stones?" ”
The owner of the gambling stone stall was a white-haired and half-white old man, probably in his fifties, with a shiny face, wearing expensive suits and leather shoes, but with some imposing attitude, he looked different from other small vendors.
Boss Zhou weighed the five stones, and then set the price according to the grade of the stones, the ones with good quality were more expensive, and the ones with poor quality were cheaper.
The five stones selected by Ma Junxuan are of first-class grade, and they weigh a total of 13 kilograms.
Boss Zhou calculated the accounts, and then said with a smile: "Young Master Ma, you and I are acquaintances, I will give you these stones cheaper, a total of 100,000." ”
Ma Jun boldly transferred 100,000 yuan to Boss Zhou, and shouted with great interest: "Help me cut these five stones." ”
"Okay." Boss Zhou smiled slightly, skillfully using the cutting machine, carefully cutting the stone.
Everyone was concentrated, staring at the stone and not daring to blink, Ma Jun would hold his breath and his heartbeat soared, this excitement made his heart surge.
As a result, after the first stone was cut, everyone sighed for a while, it was full of brown stones, worthless, and it was wasted.
Immediately after the second stone was cut, again scrap, worthless.
The third and fourth pieces are exactly the same, not even a single piece of jade slag is visible, they are all broken stones.
The onlookers were disappointed for a while, it seems that Young Master Ma was not so lucky this time, and he lost 100,000 yuan in vain.
However, when the fifth stone was cut, a crystal clear light was revealed, smooth as ice, and the pot exploded on the spot, and it boiled.
", it's a piece of water jade!"
"Such a large piece of water seed jade is more valuable than the ice seed jade just now, at least worth about 300,000!"
"Young Master Ma is so powerful, he earned another 200,000!"
Everyone praised and worshipped, Ma Jun raised his head proudly, and a smug smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Hao was also a little surprised, is gambling really so profitable?
In just two or three minutes, Ma Jun earned four or five hundred thousand.
If I had been replaced, wouldn't I have earned more than him?
Eager to try, he pushed away the head of the person in front of him, rushed into the field, and said to the white-haired boss in a suit: "Boss, I also want to gamble on stones!" ”
At this time, Ma Jun and Liu Tingting both found him, and their faces couldn't help but sink.
"Cheng Hao? Why are you again? Liu Tingting frowned and looked at him with disdain.
Ma Jun sneered and mocked him; "Stinky boy, gambling on stones is not for children to play, you better go home and play in the mud."
The onlookers laughed.
The Boss Zhou glanced at Cheng Hao a few times, and saw that his face was full of immaturity, thinking that he was a novice who came to play gambling stones with the idea of getting rich overnight, so he kindly dissuaded him.
"Little brother, what Young Master Ma said is right, this gambling stone requires experience and luck, the risk is very high, there are many people who get rich overnight, but there are more people who go bankrupt, don't look at Young Master Ma making so much money, I think it's easy to make money by gambling stones, I advise you not to try it."
