Chapter 129: A Pair of Discerning Eyes
The most lucrative and tempting jade trade, but also the most risky, is the gambling stone.
There is a saying in the jewelry world: gambling on stones is like gambling on life!
If you win the bet, you will earn ten times and a hundred times, and you will get rich overnight. If you lose the bet, you lose everything.
Gambling stone, to put it bluntly, is the rough stone trade, generally from the appearance, can not see its true face of Lushan.
Even today, in the age of science, there is no instrument that can survey the inner part of a stone through its outer skin to determine whether it is a treasure or a ruined stone.
Cao Yixing himself is in the jade business, and at the beginning, he was from the Burmese jade market to select jade wool and return to China to process and polish it into craft ornaments or jewelry accessories.
Cao Yixing made his fortune by relying on the jade industry, and after more than ten years of hard work, he has accumulated a lot of family assets, although there is still a big gap with the real top rich people, but he can be regarded as a businessman with a head and a face.
Cao Yixing heard that someone was lucky and spent 20,000 yuan to buy a stone that could not be seen from good or bad on the outside.
At that time, someone offered 500,000 yuan to buy the stone from the man, and it is said that the boy did not sell it, so he went back with the stone in his arms.
Cao Yixing was stimulated by this, he didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, he took a small follower straight to the gambling stone market, gearing up, and also wanted to gamble on his luck.
Wei Chun met him in the gambling stone market, and Wei Chun was just curious at that time, passing by the crowded trading market, seeing that it was bustling inside, and the three floors inside and outside were full of people, so he went in to find out.
Although the gambling stone culture was not prevalent in his time, the allusion of 'He's Bi' was written into history.
This is probably the earliest 'gambling stone'.
More than 2,000 years ago, in the state of Chu, there was a man named Bian He, who found a piece of jade and gave it to the two monarchs of the state of Chu. The king thought that he had been deceived and ordered his left and right legs to be cut off.
Bian He couldn't walk without legs, he cried on Chu Mountain for three days and three nights with Yupu in his arms, and then King Wen of Chu knew, he sent someone to bring Yupu and asked Yugong to dissect it. The result is a gem-quality jade.
This gem is named 'He's Bi'.
Later, this gem was owned by King Zhao Hui, and King Qin Zhao promised to exchange fifteen cities for this gem, which shows the high value of this gem. This gem was later carved into a jade seal, which was not lost until the Western Jin Dynasty.
Wei Chun thought of this history and was deeply interested in the gambling activities of 'one knife poor, one knife rich' that was in full swing at that time.
He also wanted to participate, but at that time, he was shy and couldn't even get the money to buy Mao Shi, and besides, there were countless gems and jade in his space, and he didn't have the strong desire of those people present to get rich by a big gamble.
Wei Chun walked around the gambling stone market a few times at random, perhaps his body itself has a natural instinct and sensitivity to jade, he looked at the stones that have weathered and cracked over time and become gray and rough, there is an electric current in his heart, as if he can produce telepathy, relying on the sixth sense that makes him feel a little incredible, he perceives the good and bad in the stone.
Just when he was shocked even to himself, he chose a rough stone next to him and was about to shout to buy the rough stone, Cao Yixing turned around and bumped into Wei Chun without noticing.
Cao Yixing hugged the stone and apologized, and after Wei Chun looked at the stone in his arms, he couldn't help but open his mouth, pointing to a piece of rough stone and reminding him: "The one next to it is better than the one in your hand!" ”
Cao Yixing was stunned for a moment, and when he met Wei Chun's narrow and slightly picked, deep and calm eyes dyed with ink glaze, he was shocked for a while.
When he later looked back on his performance and reaction at the time, he also felt that it was extremely unexpected, and he did not look like his usual shrewd and calculating self at all.
Wei Chun was very young, that is, in his early twenties, a hairy boy, but at that moment he seemed to be confused, just looking at his eyes and feeling convinced of him from the bottom of his heart.
The two rough stones are not big, but the asking price is nearly 100,000, and the size is not much different, and even the appearance of the stone skin does not look much different.
But Cao Yixing did not doubt him, just because of Wei Chun's words, he gave up the rough stone he had chosen for more than an hour, and replaced it with the stone that Wei Chun thought was better than the one he chose.
After paying the fee at that time, Cao Yixing couldn't suppress his excitement and immediately asked Yugong to dissect it.
There is such a saying in the gambling stone world: it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade.
Wei Chun also wanted to test his intuition, so he stayed at the scene and waited for the conclusion after the dissection.
The final result is naturally needless to say, after the jade work was dissected, the onlookers exclaimed, and the crowd was excited: it was full of green!
This small and rough appearance of the stone, the stone skin is very thin, the inside is full of water, head and foot lines are full of green, although it is not full of green, but it is also the best jade jade.
Cao Yixing was so excited that his heart was about to stop, he had been engaged in jade for more than ten years, even if he knew a little about fur, he could see that he had really picked up a treasure this time.
More than 90,000 stones, cut it turned out to be a piece full of green, and the value of this jade pu suddenly doubled, reaching millions of dollars!
And the person who brought him such good fortune turned out to be just a young man who met in the water!
Cao Yixing was grateful to Wei Chun in his heart, kept him for dinner, and thanked him in person.
Wei Chun didn't know at that time that Cao Yixing regarded him as a master and a benefactor, and there was a reason for that.
After dissecting the piece of jade that Wei Chun had ordered for himself, Cao Yixing wanted to verify his good luck again and bought the piece of jade he chose.
However, after cutting the rough stone, which looked not much different from the one Wei Chun had ordered, it turned out to be a gray sand head that was green on the outside and white on the inside, and it was worthless.
Cao Yixing admired Wei Chun's insight into gold, and had the idea of befriending him, but Wei Chun just wanted to find Jiang Ruotong as soon as possible at that time, and had no intention of coping and cooperating.
Cao Yixing met with Wei Chun again this time due to fate, and helped Wei Chun solve the problem of identity, so it can only be said that the two of them are quite fateful.
At this time, the night was getting deeper, Wei Chun put away the smartphone in his hand, lay on the jade bed in the underground palace, closed his eyes and meditated on the person who was deeply reflected in his mind, and the corners of his lips raised a slight arc.
Loving someone is the burst of lightning, and it is also the persistence that you want to have no matter how long time passes!
You've asked me if I'll love you for the rest of my life?
Then I told you that if I love you, I will always love you, no matter what you do, what happens, or what time you go through......
Wait for me!
