Chapter 11 Loss-making business

Early the next morning, Lao Dingtou was about to go out, but he saw Qian someone pushing the door with red eyes and walking out.

Lao Ding really wanted to laugh in his heart, but in order to ensure the majesty of the master, he could only force a serious appearance: "The stones are all unraveled?"

Qian Yang nodded.

"Didn't you tell you to solve it today?" the old man stared at him with round eyes.

"I was just going to untie a piece. Qian Yang was a little embarrassed: "But...... Can't stop at all. ”

Lao Ding Tou seemed to know this, and asked coldly: "It's all broken?"

"Not really. Qian Yang touched a handful of them in the bracelet, took out a handful of spirit stones and handed them to Lao Dingtou: "The one thousand and five solved a high-grade spirit stone, and the three hundred and six solved two middle-grade spirit stones, and the others only had a few low-grade spirit stones." ”

Old Ding Tou glanced down at those spirit stones and frowned: "Solve the early 10,000 yuan, isn't that earned? Why do you act like a dead father?"

Qian Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think the gambling stone doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined before. ”

"Why is it different?" asked the old man.

Qian Yang raised his head: "Didn't you say that gambling stones are small and big? Doesn't it mean that you can get rich on the ground? But I spent 9,000 yuan to buy so many stones, and I only earned 1,000." ”

Old Ding Tou smiled faintly: "Do you want to say that if you don't solve that high-grade spirit stone, then you will lose everything?"

Qian Yang nodded: "That's right, and I also want to say that according to this ratio, even if I am lucky, 10,000 yuan of rough stones can solve two or three high-grade spirit stones, but even if I earn so many 10,000 spirit stones, I will have to pay back when I am unlucky next time, and in the end, eighty percent is to protect my capital, and I can't see the hope of getting rich on the flat land at all, right?"

"You're right!" Lao Ding nodded: "At my level, if I keep buying stones to solve it, I should be able to guarantee that I won't lose money, maybe I can have a slight surplus, or maybe not." That's all. ”

Qian Yang rolled his eyes: "You've been pretending to be a master with me, it turns out that you are such a good thing! No wonder you can't get along here." ”

"My dish?" Old Ding shook his head and smiled: "Do you know? In Yifang City, there will definitely be no more than ten stone masters who dare to say that they will never lose money when they solve stones!"

"There are only ten people in the entire Yifang City who won't lose money? Are you stupid to me?" Qian Yang only thought that the old Ding Tou was bragging: "There are so many people here buying stones every day, if they all lose money, wouldn't this Yifang City be on the door panel a long time ago?"

Lao Ding Tou was going to go out, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry like that, seeing Qian Yang questioning his ability, he simply found a corner with the sun and sat down: "Do you think, where are the highest-level stone masters in the entire Tianyuan Continent?"

"Where?" where would Qian Yang know this, he only knew that Lao Dingtou was a waste.

Lao Ding Tou said: "Among the top stone masters, the vast majority of them have been hired by the major sects to sit in various mines with high salaries. ”

"So what?" Qian Yang didn't know what Lao Ding Tou was talking about.

Lao Ding Tou continued: "All the rough stones circulating in the market are from the hands of those top stone tasters. ”

"What do you mean?" Qian Yang still didn't understand.

"In the mines

All the rough stones dug up must first be seen by these top stone tasters. However, all those that have a greater probability of solving the spirit stone will be unlocked as soon as possible, and only those rough stones that are not considered worthy of unlocking will enter the market as a gambling stone. ”

"Isn't it worth unraveling?" Qian Yang seemed to understand.

"That's right!" Lao Ding Tou nodded: "That is to say, those top stone masters feel that the chances of these stones solving the spirit stones are not great, but their external performance is not bad." In order to maximize the profits, they sold the rough at a higher price. ”

Qian Yang finally found the point in Lao Dingtou's words.

Lao Ding Tou continued: "To put it simply, it is a batch of stones with good external performance, those top stone masters think that they can solve a total of five thousand spirit stones, then sell them as gambling stones for ten thousand spirit stones, and these are the gambling stones we see in the market." In other words, if you buy 10,000 spirit stones in the market, the actual value is only 5,000! If you add the middleman's profits, then even 5,000 is not worth it. ”

Qian Yang understood this time, that is, unless he had more powerful eyesight than those top stone masters, gambling on stones would be a business that would not make money.

"The mine wants to make money, and the middleman wants to make the difference, so the people who lose money are those who buy stones to solve the problem?" Qian Yang asked.

"That's right!" said Lao Ding Tou with a smile: "Every year, there will be countless people who dream of getting rich overnight and throw their hard-earned money into Yifang City. Of course, there will indeed be one or two lucky people who pick up a big leak and get rich overnight, but the vast majority of people have lost all their money and can only leave gloomily. Maybe they will never recover, maybe one day they will come to Yifang City again with a large number of spirit stones earned from other places, who knows!"

Qian Yang's face darkened: "Then what are you tricking me into coming here for? Let them cut leeks?"

Lao Dingtou stood up and smiled: "What if you are the lucky one who got rich overnight? Maybe one day you spend a hundred yuan to buy a brick material, and you end up with ten top-grade spirit stones, then you will be rich?"

"Are you fooling a stupid boy?" Qian Yang was angry.

Lao Ding patted the dust on his ass and pushed the door out: "If you can get stable income by solving stones one day, then all problems will no longer be a problem!"

Qian Yang looked at the back of the old Ding Tou thoughtfully, indeed, if you can ensure that you can solve a large number of stones without losing money, then you can continue to solve the stones, maybe one day you will solve a jaw-dropping thing, even if you have never encountered such a stone, you can barely make a living, this seems to be the right way?

But is it easy to get a stable income? It must be very difficult, right? Pick up the leaks from the hands of those stone masters who have been raised by the big sects? Does that mean that the eyesight is stronger than the top stone masters?

Sounds so unreliable!

But...... Lao Ding Tou just seemed to say that he could do it? It's not bragging, is it? If he has this ability, as for being so miserable? A lot of people who are old and pretend to be crazy and stupid, are you ashamed!

Lao Dingtou left, leaving Qian Yang alone in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

It is said that since Uncle Li sold Qian Yang a few rotten stones that day, he has been going out early and returning late every day, as if he is avoiding him, and today he has already gone out before dawn, so that Qian Yang has not even had a person to chat and fart

If you have the heart to cultivate, there are not many pills on your body, and before he earns more spirit stones, his daily cultivation can only slow down, and as a result, in a good time, Qian Yang is left with nothing left.

As soon as people are idle, they will inevitably think crankily. The completely unfamiliar environment of Yifang City and the completely unfamiliar field of gambling stones made Qian Yang feel a little weak in his heart. He even began to wonder if his decision to come here was a wrong choice.

Of course, he did not regret leaving the Qingling Sect, he had enough reasons to do so, it was a fundamental choice related to the future and faith. He just felt that maybe he should have other ways to go besides the Western Wilderness, instead of being fooled by the old Ding Tou and coming here inexplicably.

A sharp knock on the door interrupted Qian Yang's hysteria, and as the only living person in the courtyard, Elder Qian pushed open the courtyard door, and what caught his eye was a middle-aged woman in an orange robe standing tremblingly outside the gate supporting a thin old man with a weathered face.

The middle-aged woman Qian Yang had seen it, it was the tooth merchant named Xiaoyi who was talking to Lao Dingtou by the city gate, as for the old man, if nothing else, it should be the woman's grandfather, the old Meng in Lao Dingtou's mouth.

Sure enough, the woman nodded at Qian Yang and said, "Is Grandpa Ding here?"

Qian Yang shook his head apologetically: "Let's sit down first, the master is out, and he should come back in the afternoon." ”

As soon as she heard this, the woman wanted to carry the old man into the courtyard, but the old man didn't take a step, just looked at Qian Yang from top to bottom, and asked, "Are you Lao Ding's apprentice?"

"Hmm!" Qian Yang nodded: "I've seen Meng ...... Uncle?"

The old man nodded, took his granddaughter by the hand, and said, "I've seen your uncle soon." ”

The woman was well-behaved, and honestly made a blessing to Qian Yang: "Hello uncle!"

Qian Yang was startled, and said in his heart that he had been taken advantage of by the old Ding Tou and came back here to make up for it, but he said in his mouth: "Don't dare, don't dare, come in quickly!"

Lao Meng shook his head: "There is still a stone I haven't seen, I always have it in my heart, since Lao Ding is not here, I will come back in the afternoon!"

"Don't! It's all here, how can you not enter the door!" Qian Yang hurriedly turned sideways and let Lao Meng's head into the house, but who knew that Lao Meng didn't give face at all, waved his hand and pulled his granddaughter away, which made Qian Yang very embarrassed.

Not long after Lao Meng left, Lao Ding Tou walked back in all directions, Qian Yang mentioned this matter to him, but Lao Ding Tou was far from being as excited as when he heard Lao Meng at the city gate that day, and just asked lightly: "You didn't tell him anything, did you?"

Qian Yang shook his head blankly: "I don't know him, what are you talking to him?"

Lao Dingtou nodded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh!" Qian Yang could only nod.

Lao Ding went back to the house and said to Qian Yang, who was following behind: "Time is limited, let's talk about those stones yesterday first!"

"Now the class is starting?" Qian Yang was a little surprised: "You don't wait for Uncle Meng, he should be back in a while." ”

Lao Dingtou didn't take this stubble, and talked about those black skin stones by himself, Qian Yang could only sit upright, honestly be a good baby who studied hard, and pricked up his ears to remember Lao Dingtou's words word by word.
