Chapter 2: Sky-high prices

It is very easy to take a diamond or jadeite out, but how to sell it after taking it out is a problem: although valuables from unknown sources can be sold, the value will be greatly discounted, and it is very troublesome to sell, and there is a risk of being targeted by the police to track the way it came, so it is really not suitable to sell it directly.

Therefore, he wants to give his "gem" a proper way to come.

And this way is the jadeite rough market.

There is a special trading method in the jadeite industry, called "gambling stone": when the jadeite is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite, and the quality of the jadeite must be known after cutting. Merchants take out these rough stones directly and sell them, and the people who buy them cut them, and the good quality is a big profit, and the poor quality is a big loss.

This kind of gambling has made many people rich overnight, but it has also made many people bankrupt and full of uncertainty.

But because of this, it fascinates many people.

Of course, Li Xing would not be interested in this thing, not to mention that he was too poor to afford to play, and even if he could, he would have no love for this kind of gambling thing - the purpose of his coming to the jade market was to buy the cheapest rough stone, wrap it up and make a stone wrapped in the best jadeite, and then cut it open and sell it for money.

In this way, the jade he took out from the Metaverse had a legitimate way to come.

"Boss, how much is your cheapest stone?" Li Xing asked after coming to the market.

Hearing this, the owner of the original stone shop was stunned.

Come up and ask how much is the cheapest stone, what kind of routine is this?

However, although he was confused, he still took out a fist-sized stone and said: "This is the cheapest stone in my store, only one hundred and ninety-eight yuan, the probability of cutting out jadeite is almost zero, only because there is a 'jadeite line' in the middle, it was made to sell in the rough." ”

bluntly said that he couldn't cut jade, this is not that he is honest, but a routine.

He was going to introduce another expensive piece to Li Xing after devaluing this rough stone to make more money.

It's just that Li Xing didn't follow his routine, but took out two hundred yuan and said, "That's it." I don't care if I can cut something good, and I don't expect to make money, just because I can't afford to play with expensive stones, I buy a cheap one and try to play with it. It's about participation, and I just need to experience the feeling of gambling stones. ”

The boss was speechless.

Are all the current Buddhist youths already in the Buddhist system to the gambling stone?

It's kind of scary.

After the transaction was completed, Li Xing put the stone in his pocket and asked, "Where to cut it?" ”

"Go to the center of the market, there is a master who is responsible for cutting, no good things don't need money, but if you cut out the baby, you have to give a commission of one percent." The shopkeeper said, "You can also use the tools provided by the market to cut it yourself, but if there is something good in it, if you cut it yourself, the probability of cutting it is very high." ”

Li Xing smiled when he heard this, took out the stone in his hand, and walked over.

At this time, the original stone has been dropped and turned into a treasure wrapped in the "Heavenly Buddha Jade".

What is "Heavenly Buddha Jade"?

In fact, it is a natural jade Buddha statue, the size of a thumb, only the outline, which is a high-priced jade specially created by Li Xing in order to do it once and for all.

As long as he cut this thing out and sold it, the money he got would be enough to spend his whole life.

At this time, in the center of the market, there were already three masters cutting jadeite there, and one of them held a gemstone and said: "Emerald, the purity is very high, but the shape is too irregular to be used to create large jewelry, and the price is greatly discounted." But even so, it's worth at least 10 million, how much do you buy it? ”

Immediately, a person next to him, smiled and stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand?" Li Xing just walked over and asked casually.

Immediately, the man showed a look of contempt and said contemptuously, "What can you buy for 20,000 yuan?" It's two million! Young man, you're gambling on stones for the first time, right? When I first started, I also liked to buy thousands of stones and cut them to play, but then I slowly found that those garbage are all made up, and only more than one million stones can make good things! ”

Li Xing: "......"

At this moment, he felt that poverty limited his imagination.

However, he smiled and said, "Master, please also help me cut a stone, which I bought for two hundred yuan, and I feel that something good will come out." ”

"Then good luck with that!" The old master said, took it and began to cut it.

The man before was even more contemptuous, and said, "I have never cut hundreds of stones, because it is destined that there can be no good things, and I will never do things that will be lost, because I am a smart person." As for the two hundred yuan, seriously, it's the first time I've seen this after playing this for so many years. ”

Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but pout, but no one said anything.

They don't like this person's arrogance, but this guy has just made a lot of millions, even if he is arrogant, what reason do others have to refute him?

"I'm just addicted, I don't care if I can't get something." Li Xing said casually.

But when the man listened, he became even more proud, and said a little forgetfully: "I like this sour feeling the most." ”

After speaking, he felt that the entire market seemed to be suddenly quiet.

The people around who were originally talking to each other stopped talking, as if they had been immobilized by Sun Wukong.

"Why did you suddenly ......" he was about to speak, but he was momentarily stunned.

I saw that the master who cut the stone was holding a thumb-sized jadeite, and he knelt on the ground.

Everyone else glared.

"Is there really something?" Li Xing pretended not to care and said: "The fist-sized stone is only a thumb-sized jadeite, the color is still a little yellowish, and there seems to be a little impurity on it, it shouldn't be worthless, right?" However, it doesn't matter, the rough stone is only 200 yuan, as long as it is jadeite, I will make money by selling it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the peace was immediately broken.

"Oh my God, natural Buddha-shaped jade!" One exclaimed.

There was also a foreigner who shouted from afar: "Oh, buy karma! ”

"The perfect sapphire Buddha body, topaz monk robe, emerald Buddha eyes, and a little ruby in the center of the eyebrows, this, this is a rare treasure in a hundred years!" A middle-aged man with glasses said, "I'm sure this gem will shock the world and become a treasure that will go down in history!" ”

"Young man, do you sell this gem? I'll give 100 million! One person said.

Immediately, someone scrambled and said, "I'll give 150 million!" ”

As for the person who cut out tens of millions of jade, no one paid attention to him anymore.

"This gem is extraordinary, if it is auctioned, after publicity, even if it is sold for one billion, it is not impossible." The boss who sold the original stone to Li Xing came over and said, "But if you sell it now, two or three hundred million is the limit, and it is impossible to have more." ”

Everyone around them nodded.

"But I can bid 400 million yuan to put it in my store as a treasure of the town store." The shopkeeper said again.

Hearing this, Li Xing smiled and said, "Deal." ”

The price of 400 million has far exceeded his expectations, and he may buy more slowly, but it is no longer necessary.

For him, this piece of jadeite is no different from an ordinary stone, selling more and selling less is for nothing, and it is important to get the money as soon as possible.

"You bought 200 yuan from me, and sold me 400 million, it's really full of drama." After the store owner transferred the money, he sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, I don't lose money, wait for this matter to spread, and then put this piece of 'Heavenly Buddha' in the store, my business will definitely be hot in the future, I will earn more, are you interested in going to my store for a few drinks?" ”

Li Xing shook his head and refused, and walked out of the market with a smile.

"I got rich in an instant, but I wasn't as excited as I thought, and it seems that I don't care much about worldly money anymore!" Li Xing walked and said in his heart: "However, the feeling of having money is indeed better than not having money, so I will go and return the rental house after a while and buy a big villa to live in." ”
