Chapter 45: Gambling Stones
The mining of jadeite in Myanmar has been practiced for at least two years. There have been ups and downs, and now they are still in the ascendant. With the large output of jadeite, the field area is gradually expanding.
Among them, Myitkyina is a large gambling stone mine, which is very famous in Myanmar, as long as it is a gambling stone hobby, it is generally here to try its luck. And some merchants who specialize in buying jadeite will also stop here every day, hoping to come across a good piece of jadeite one day.
When Li Yu came to the mine, it happened to be at the peak of the flow of people, and people dressed in different clothes shuttled through it, and some people who were interested in buying began to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper.
Due to the particularity of the gambling stone, everything depends on personal vision and luck when buying.
Therefore, in the mine, from time to time there will be the sound of a grinder, and then accompanied by a surprise bet, or on the contrary, the stone does not open the jadeite and becomes a loss.
Li Yu observed in a few shops, and after watching others cut a few stones, he finally got a general understanding.
Those unprocessed jadeite rough stones are called "wool", and these wools can also be called stones.
The wool material that is full of green is called "color goods", the wool material with uneven green color is called "flower brand material", and the large wool material without high emerald is called "brick material".
The whole is wrapped in a leather shell, and the jadeite wool that has not been cut and has not opened the window is called "gambling stone", or "gambling goods".
Gambling on stones is a heartbeat, and Li Yu saw with his own eyes that some people couldn't bear it because the stones were not green and their hearts were sent to the hospital.
Others will scream excitedly when the bet has risen, and the people around them let out an exclamation of exclamation.
Li Yu came to a group of onlookers, and just saw a man who had opened a stone that was not green, and his hand was still on the ground.
Li Yu looked at the gravel on the ground, and then his heart moved, and he walked up to the man.
"This big brother, don't you want your stone, don't you, can you give it to me?" Li Yu smiled.
The man glanced at Li Yu, pursed his lips, and said, "Those are all broken, what do you want it for?"
Li Yu smiled lightly and said, "That's not necessarily, maybe I'll get a little green from it." ”
The man said with disdain, and then turned away.
As the man walked away, the surrounding onlookers suddenly dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, the boss and Li Yu were left.
Li Yu subconsciously rubbed his nose and smiled, then grabbed a palm-sized stone from the ground and came to the cutting machine next to him.
Cutting stones is a technical job, and it is not good to open without a few years of foundation, but Li Yu has divine sense, and under the induction of divine consciousness, he quickly cut off a small piece of the stone, revealing the green inside.
"Huh?"
"It's actually a jade of oil green seeds!" The boss next to him glanced at it casually, and suddenly saw that the stone in Li Yu's hand was green.
As the boss remembered with a startled voice, some curious people around him suddenly surrounded him, and when they saw the stone in Li Yu's hand coming out of the green, they suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Little brother, I want 5,000 yuan for your jade!" said a man with a bag in the crowd.
"Deal!" Li Yu handed the stone to the other party.
Although he didn't know how much the oil seed was worth, he guessed that it shouldn't be that high, and now he just wanted to get a sum of kyats.
But when he traded with the man again, Li Yu was stunned when he saw the other party take out a wad of domestic yuan.
"That...... I want Burma to be better than okay?"
"Huh. ”
"Little brother, you must be coming to Myanmar for the first time, right?" the man laughed.
"yes. Li Yu nodded.
"That's right. ”
The man smiled and said, "Don't you know that you can also use domestic yuan in Myanmar?"
"Huh?" Li Yu was stunned.
Li Yu really didn't know that Myanmar could use RMB, if he knew, would he still have to eat and run away?
After making such a big oolong, Li Yu's face turned slightly red, and after accepting the man's money, he turned around and left.
"Grandma, it's terrible to be uneducated!" Li Yu said depressedly.
I knew that I could use RMB, but he went to great lengths to gamble on what stones, and I felt ridiculous when I thought about it.
"But gambling stones make so much money, maybe I can make a fortune and then go......"
Li Yu now has about two million in his card, if it is just ordinary expenses, it will definitely be enough, but he still has to buy some messy things for his cultivation, and two million will not last long.
Although there will be risks in gambling stones, under Li Yu's divine sense, all risks will no longer exist.
Li Yu circled around the mine for half a circle, and then stopped at a middle-aged man's shop.
Li Yu squatted down, pointed to a round piece of wool the size of a head, and asked without moving, "How much is that piece of mountain material?"
"Eight thousand yuan!" the boss suddenly laughed.
"Is the boss cheaper?"
"You can see that the surface of the mountain material has a lot of edges and cracks, the structure is rough and loose, and the obvious quality is not very good. Li Yu pointed to the stone and said.
The boss gritted his teeth and said, "If you sincerely want me, I will sell you 6,000 yuan!"
Li Yu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said, "If it is 5,000 yuan, I will ask for it, but unfortunately I still have a thousand shortages." After speaking, Li Yu stood up and pretended to leave.
"Alas...... I'll sell you 5,000 yuan!" The boss hurriedly stopped Li Yu.
Li Yu turned around, took out the money from his pocket, and then picked up the piece of mountain material.
"Little brother, do you want to find a master to help you polish it?"
"No, I'll do it myself. ”
Li Yu came to the cutting machine next to him with the stone, ready to cut the stone himself.
This stone weighs fifty or sixty pounds, if it weren't for Li Yu not being an ordinary person, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for ordinary people to carry it.
Seeing that Li Yu was about to open the stone, the surrounding people formed a circle, speculating whether Li Yu's stone would rise sharply or be scrapped.
Gambling stones should be achieved by rubbing, cutting, and grinding, so how to rub, how deep to rub, how big to rub, and even whether you can wipe it must be considered clearly. It's the same with stone cutting, you can cut the rich or the poor with a one-size-fits-all approach.
But Li Yu didn't need all those things, under the observation of his divine sense, he just cut them directly.
As Li Yu cut it with a knife, a piece of green suddenly appeared inside.
"Up ......"
"It's an emerald!" exclaimed one of the onlookers.
"Little brother, I'm willing to pay a million for you!"
Li Yu only cut it, and someone paid for it, but Li Yu just shook his head, and then continued to cut.
With the second cut, everyone around suddenly let out an exclamation with a hint of amazement in their eyes.
There was a dazzling green shining in the stone, and the people around him immediately knew that the young boy in front of him was probably going to make a fortune.
Some people don't understand it very well and ask the person next to them what kind of breed it is.
"That's a top emerald, a gemstone that belongs to the reputation of the king of emeralds, and looking at the transparency is clear and bright, crystal clear, I'm afraid this piece is no less than 10 million or so!"
"Shhh
"Little brother, I'll buy you for eight million!"
At this time, an obese man squeezed out of the crowd and pointed to Li Yu's stone and said.
"I'll give nine million!" another man squeezed out and quoted.
"I'll give 10 million ......"
"Twelve million ......"
As more and more people made offers, the more surprised the onlookers became, thinking that the stone that was bought for almost five thousand yuan had multiplied hundreds of times in the blink of an eye, making everyone secretly feel a cold sweat in their hearts.
"I'll give sixteen million!" remembered the voice of a middle-aged man's offer, and the surrounding bosses suddenly lost their voices.
This emerald is very good, but 16 million has exceeded its value, so even if it is processed, the profit earned is very low and very low, and it is basically not cost-effective.
Li Yu turned his head to look at the man who made the offer, his eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, and then nodded at the other party with a smile.
"I didn't expect ......"
The man came from the crowd and glanced at Li Yu in surprise.
Who would have thought that he kindly saved a person on the road, and in the blink of an eye, a 10 million emerald came out.
