Chapter 18 Circle Money
Thirteen million!
What a familiar number!
There was no need to think about it, this number had been haunting Elder Qian's mind all day.
That's a salted fish dream!
Don't look at someone who keeps pretending to be calm, but God knows how he felt when he saw that fish that was saltier than him had made thirteen million in the blink of an eye.
Even though he already knew that solving stones was a surefire business, and he had already made up his mind to abandon the profession of stone taster with no future, his heart still jumped uncontrollably when he saw the thirteen million.
If it weren't for Lao Dingtou's half-dead silence, Qian Yang was sure that he would definitely not be able to suppress the itching of his hands, and buy a stone of 350,000 yuan to test his luck. Qian Yang is like this, what will happen to those who have heard about it, and what will happen to other people who have also seen calcite?
But how do you say that? That's 13 million in advertising?
"What do you mean?" Qian Yang's eyes widened.
Lao Ding Tou smiled: "In order to start the reputation of the rough market, the Stone Master Association will spend a lot of money to buy some extremely high-quality rough stones from various mines before the start of each public market. And these rough stones have a very high chance of solving high-quality spirit stones, and the mines will never sell them as gambling stones, but if you can afford the price, it is not impossible to sell them as gambling stones. ”
"Can you afford it?" Qian Yang seemed to understand a little.
"What do you think of that rough stone just now? As long as there are more than a thousand pieces, if you encounter it, will you buy it?" asked the old Ding Tou.
Qian Yang slightly recalled the appearance of the original stone, and then nodded firmly: "Although there is no obvious pine python belt on that stone, the sand is evenly and powerful, and the color is pure and transparent, I dare not say that it is expensive, but more than a thousand pieces are definitely worth betting." ”
Lao Ding Tou smiled and shook his head: "More than a thousand? Just that stone, if the Stone Master Association wants to take it out of the mine, even if it doesn't cost thirteen million, the price of about 10 million is absolutely indispensable." ”
Qian Yang unconsciously opened his mouth wide: "Are you saying that the Stone Master Association spent 10 million to buy that rough stone, and then put it on the market and only sold it for 1,000?"
"That's right!" Lao Ding nodded with a smile: "Otherwise, how do you think all the things that get rich overnight?"
Qian Yang completely understood: "According to this, then this 10 million is really advertising money!"
"The investment of the Stone Master Association seems to be not small, but do you have to know, how much trading volume and how much profit will this piece of sky-high rough stone unraveled in public bring to the public market?"
Qian Yang scoffed: "If you want to talk about advertising, I know more than you!"
"Oh, what do you know?" said the old man with a look of disbelief.
Qian Yang sighed: "The Stone Master Association has a good calculation! where is it as simple as they spend these advertising dollars just in exchange for some transaction volume?"
"What's that?" the old man really didn't understand.
"What they have in exchange for the prosperity of the entire gambling stone industry!" Qian Yang pouted: "In the final analysis, what does the gambling stone rely on to make money? It depends on the dream of the buyers to get rich overnight! They only spent a little money, and they really put this kind of dream in front of everyone, so that people threw their hard-earned spirit stones into this tank of water one after another for the sake of that little negligible odds, and fed this entire industry!"
Lao Ding squinted his eyes and nodded, "That's true." ”
"That's not all!" Qian Yang continued: "The prosperity of the gambling stone industry will give birth to some related industries, such as the stone master!"
The old man was left nodding.
The expression on Qian Yang's face gradually turned into resentment: "Then, the stone master needs to learn, grow, communicate, and need a platform to make money, so they have to go to the exchange meeting, so they have to spend 100,000 yuan in registration fees!"
"This ......," the old man sneered.
"Then the Stone Master Association will receive a lot of registration fees from the Stone Master, and if they use the money to advertise, they will deceive more fools to become Stone Master, and as a result, they will receive more registration fees! This is simply an automatic money-making machine!" Qian Yang made a frightened expression.
A certain stone master who was called a fool had an ugly face, but he was completely powerless to refute it.
Qian Yang didn't give up: "I said a long time ago that the stone master is a garbage profession with no future! Are you sure you want to continue to work?"
Lao Ding Tou has been a stone master all his life, how could he be said to change his career in a few words? But the unhappiness in his heart is certain.
Qian Yang finally showed his fox tail when he said this: "Are you sure you have to spend such an expensive registration fee to play as a fool?"
"This ......" the old man shook his head with a wry smile after a while: "What about being a fool? I can only make a living from this!"
Qian Yang pouted: "I am treated as a fool, and I have to rely on others to live, and I have to work hard to help others pull more fools to be deceived, tsk~~"
"Where did I pull others to be deceived?" the old man quit.
"Me!" Qian Yang pointed to his nose.
"You ......" the old man was speechless.
After a long time, Lao Ding Tou shook his head: "I can't talk about you, but it is indeed a profession that can make a living, and if you can stand at the top of this industry, you can earn endless wealth! Don't you want to make money? Don't you want to go further on the path of cultivation? If you can, what if you can be a fool?"
As soon as he mentioned money, Qian Yang immediately became uncalm, and after playing with his fingers for a while, he gritted his teeth vigorously: "Okay! I want to make money! I'll sign up with you, and then you can help me pick a few stones!"
"Yo?" said the old man, "Aren't you going to buy stones?"
Qian Yang glared at him: "You are really stupid! If you don't buy it in normal times, it doesn't mean that you don't buy it when it's public, and the Stone Master Association has spent so much advertising money, so you can't just buy a good stone, right? If we can also find a piece of 10 million, wouldn't everything be solved?"
Lao Dingtou's feet were motionless like nails, and he stared at Qian Yang with slanted eyes: "Do you think that good stones will be placed on the ground and waiting for you to buy them?"
"What if it happens!" Qian Yang's heart was so anxious that the grass was overgrown.
Lao Ding Tou shook his head: "No in case!"
Qian Yang was stunned: "What do you mean?"
The old Ding Tou opened his mouth with a complicated expression: "Do you think that down-and-out monk just now is really a gambler passing by by accident?"
"What?" Qian Yang immediately understood what Lao Ding Tou meant: "Are you saying that the person was arranged?
"What do you think?" asked the old man rhetorically.
"I think...... I don't think so!"
Yang shook his head after thinking for a while: "The Stone Master Association is doing a big business with no money, wouldn't it be in line with their original intention to spend some advertising money to make some lucky people get rich? I don't think they will cheat on this kind of thing, so wouldn't it be digging their own corner?"
The old man suddenly laughed, and even laughed out loud: "Boy, don't you know everything? Don't you think everyone else is stupid? Why can't you figure it out so much?"
Qian Yang's face darkened: "I just don't think they need to cheat, what's wrong?"
Lao Ding Tou still couldn't help but smile: "Come, obediently call master, I'll teach you a good lesson again!"
Qian Yang didn't eat his set, craned his neck and asked, "Have you paid the registration fee?"
As soon as the registration fee was mentioned, Lao Dingtou was instantly stunned, and lowered his head and sprayed white gas down his nose.
"Hurry up, what's going on!" Qian Yang put on a cool look.
"Alas!" the old Ding Tou resigned himself to his fate, and could only answer obediently: "The Stone Master Association does not have a cheating position, but you must know that the Stone Master Association is composed of people one by one!"
"One by one?" Qian Yang was stunned, then nodded with a wry smile.
Many things are like this, it may be difficult to think clearly without saying it, but once it is pierced, it is actually a layer of window paper!
There's really no need to cheat in the Stone Master Association, but it's hard to say who is in the association.
The Stone Master Association spent advertising money in exchange for the prosperity of the entire industry, and the large number of spirit stones earned were also the spirit stones of the Stone Association. But for those people one by one, whether it is the interests of the association or the industry, they are far less attractive than their personal interests.
Needless to say, if the Stone Taster Association wants to put a high-priced stone on the market at a low price, it must go through many steps in the middle. If you think about it, first of all, they have to go to the mine and pick some good enough stones, and in order to prevent fraud and the like, there will definitely be only one or two people involved in the procurement.
Then, if the purchased stone wants to enter the market without a trace, it still needs to go through a series of operations, and it will have to go through more people's hands, and in this process, even if there will be some secrecy measures, as long as there is a heart, there must be traces to follow.
As the old saying goes, there are a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. If someone is trying to be a thief, he can't prevent it after all. Spirit stones worth tens of millions are enough for someone to take risks!
"How do you know this?" Qian Yang asked helplessly.
Lao Ding Tou sighed and said slowly: "Cheating is no secret within the Stone Master Association, and there are definitely more than one or two people who cheat, and even which stone will end up in whose hands has been divided in advance." ”
"It's so exaggerated?" Qian Yang pouted and shook his head.
Lao Ding Tou also sighed: "My master's master, once served as the president of the Stone Master Association, and he also wanted to change this situation, but in the end he couldn't do anything. The interests involved here are too great, and all he can do is to let these people scruple about eating when they cheat, don't smash the association's signboard, and let the rest take its course!"
"Scruples about eating?" Qian Yang understood: "So the person who bought the stone today dressed up as a down-and-out look, and did a good job?"
Lao Ding shrugged: "Okay! Don't talk about this, sign up!"
