Chapter 5: The Gambling Stone (I)
The back hall of the dinner is where the stones are gambled.
The stones were also personally transported by CITIC from the gambling quarries in Southeast Asia, and many of the company's wealthy people liked this event.
"Let's take a look, too." Lu Wen also wanted to join in the fun, he hadn't played gambling stone for a long time.
The stone quarry is full of stones of various sizes, round, flat, scattered in the corners, and some smaller ones are stacked together.
Most of the people in the back hall were watching from the stone field, and they didn't go down to choose. Gambling on stones is very risky and requires a certain amount of skill. Only a small number of people who are confident or have a lot of money are selected in the quarry. Most of the people who watch it still like to buy ready-made.
"Xiangwan, you see a lot of stones. Let's give it a try, and I'll make you rich. ”
"I don't expect you to make me rich, let's watch others play." Liu Xiangwan couldn't help but glance at him, she didn't believe that Lu Wen would gamble on stones.
Although Liu Xiangwan had already said so, Lu Wen still couldn't help it and plunged into it.
It's just that the cost of gambling stones is very high, and the worst stone in general costs more than 1,000. Although he watched it for a long time, he didn't have the money to buy it.
"You come and pick the stones, do you know how to play?" Zhang Yunfeng didn't know when he appeared next to Lu Wen.
After he left just now, he specially found someone to check Lu Wen, but Lu Wen's background was very large, and he couldn't find any information at all. Among the information obtained by Zhang Yunfeng, Lu Wen is a door-to-door son-in-law.
This also made him very unwilling, why did the other party, a useless son-in-law, know Lu Mingyu and have such a piece of clothing worth millions. He laid so much groundwork, but Lu Wen got benefits.
"Oh, a little bit, this stone is good." Lu Wen pointed to an uneven stone and said.
Zhang Yunfeng looked at the stone pointed by Lu Wen and immediately smiled. Because the stone that Lu Wen was referring to was actually a piece of cutting.
Cutting, in the gambling stone world, is known as waste rock, the probability of opening a good material is almost zero, this kind of common sense even he knows.
"Young man, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, lest the wind flash your tongue." An old man with gold-rimmed glasses had long been looking at Lu Wen, and when he heard the conversation between Lu Wen and Zhang Yunfeng, he said disdainfully.
"Why do you say I don't know how to pretend to understand." Lu Wen asked rhetorically.
"How can a person who doesn't even know the material understand, don't think that you can pretend to be a master here in a multi-million suit. You'd better go up honestly, gambling stones are not for you. ”
Lu Wen's performance in the game just now, this old man saw it clearly. Thinking of Miss Lou's attitude towards him before, the more the old man looked at Lu Wen, the more uncomfortable he became, at this time Lu Wen said that a piece of cutting could make something, and he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to mock Lu Wen.
"Who are you?" Zhang Yunfeng felt that this person was a little familiar, and the other party was on the same front as himself.
"Contemptible King Lei." The old man pushed his glasses and said, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"Wang Lei? Could it be the gambling stone world, the famous gambling stone monster Wang senior! ”
"Yes, that's right." When the old man heard that the other party had heard his name, he became even more arrogant.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Don't talk about those useless things, why can't you open things when you cut the material?" Lu Wen didn't give them a chance to continue chatting at all.
Zhang Yunfeng didn't expect Lu Wen to be so uninteresting. "You really don't know Mount Tai with eyes, and you don't even know the old man Wang who has the title of gambling stone, so you dare to block the stone. The probability of Wang senior's stone opening is as high as 60 percent, and you can't compare with this alone. He said that if you can't open it, you must not be able to open it. ”
"It's only 60 percent, what's so arrogant, isn't there still 40 percent that can't be guessed? Nothing remarkable. ”
Wang Lei almost didn't mention it in one breath after hearing this, how could the gambling stone be so easy to guess. Not to mention where a stone is mined, first of all, it is difficult to figure out the traces on the surface of the stone.
Especially in the past few years, many scammers like to apply some special liquid on the surface to confuse the gambling stone, and the means are getting higher and higher.
Even professional stone gamblers sometimes miss, 60% can be said to be a very high probability, even if few people in the world dare to say that the probability of 60% is very low.
"Good, good." Wang Lei said hello three times in a row, and then said. "Since you're so loud, I'd like to see it."
Liu Xiangwan came down and pulled Lu Wen's arm, she had already noticed that something was wrong. "Senior Wang, he has a bad brain, don't be like him."
Then he whispered to Lu Wen. "Why do you like to get into trouble so much, quickly apologize to your family."
"I'm not wrong, what apologies." Lu Wengang wanted to refute, but saw Liu Xiangwan's murderous eyes, which he was familiar with, and it was a precursor to Liu Xiangwan's madness.
In the past three years, he has formed an instinctive survival reaction to this look. immediately lowered his head and said respectfully to Wang Lei. "I'm sorry senior, it's my fault."
"Don't worry about him, Senior Wang, he doesn't really understand, he's just joking." Liu Xiangwan said to Wang Lei again.
Wang Lei saw that the other party had already lowered his attitude so low, and he was not good at what to say, and was about to forgive Lu Wen.
"Isn't that person the one who knows Lu Mingyu, what are they arguing about?"
"You're talking about that Lu Wen, I asked."
"I don't know, the other person looks like Wang Laowei, let's go and take a look." A few people around who were picking stones actually came over to see the excitement.
Wang Lei, who was originally going to settle the matter, saw that everyone came over. Giving up the idea just now, he decided to improve his reputation just by taking advantage of Lu Wen's improvement.
He snorted coldly. "Didn't you say that this stone has material? Let's let people take a look, and if you lose, you give me three kowtows in public, and I will forgive you. ”
Lu Wen whispered in Liu Xiangwan's ear: "Wife, you also saw it, I apologized, but it didn't work." Then I'll take a gamble with him, and rest assured that I will win. ”
"You." Liu Xiangwan wanted to say two words about Lu Wen, but found that Lu Wen's eyes exuded a soft light and were full of confidence. She had never seen this kind of look in Lu Wen's eyes, so that she had an illusion that Lu Wen's stone might really have material.
"What if there's material in it?" Lu Wen turned his head and said.
"Then I, the old monster, will call you three times in public, master!"
"Okay, that's it."
Liu Xiangwan saw that this matter couldn't get over, and she didn't know what to do. This old man named Wang Lei is a lot old, and he doesn't have the appearance that an elder should have. Maybe Lu Wen did nothing wrong this time, but if he can't open something, it's useless to be strong.
"Hey." Liu Xiangwan didn't think much about it anymore, sighed and handed Lu Wen the check that Lu Wen won before, and left it to fate.
"Thank you, wife." With the money, Lu Wen can buy this stone.
"Anyway, it's your own, I'm just keeping it for you."
Lu Wen picked up the piece of cutting material and said to Wang Lei. "Let's go, sixty percent."
"Let's go!" Wang Lei followed. He let this kid who didn't know the height of the sky know what it means to be gale today.
The two of them came to the special place where the stone was opened, followed by a group of people who watched the excitement.
After Lu Wen went up and paid the money, he handed the stone to the person who opened the stone.
"Pull me straight from the middle, probably here." Lu Wen gestured to him, in one-third of the seat.
"Okay." The man nodded, and the work began. The staff carefully cut according to Lu Wen's requirements.
There are people gathered around, all staring at this piece of cutting, and everyone is also looking forward to whether there will be good things in the end.
The stone drove very slowly, and soon some of the people watching it could not bear their breath.
"It's so slow to open a material, isn't it a trick."
"I don't know, but good things are slow, maybe he's afraid that it will break, so it's so complicated."
"It's hard to get good things with this kind of blanking, and I still feel like I'm playing tricks." Everyone, you and I are chatting one by one.
Lu Wen ignored them and concentrated on directing the staff. "Okay master, now you can polish, remember to slow down."
The worker nodded, anyway, the other party gave money, how to ask for it.
After another five minutes, only a thin layer of stone remained, and someone exclaimed. "You see, it looks like it's green."
Everyone looked over when they heard this, and sure enough, what the man said was right, after the turbid lime was washed with water, a faint layer of green appeared.
