Chapter 132 Border Gambling Stone Market
When it comes to jadeite, we have to say the original stone, and when it comes to the original stone, it is inevitable to mention the gambling stone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a game of experience and luck.
How many of the world's richest people have lost their fortunes because of it;
How many uncivilized dick men became rich overnight because of it;
The so-called one-knife heaven, one-knife hell, gambling stones, blocked is a heartbeat!
The further south you go, the stronger the gambling atmosphere becomes, as it is closer to Myanmar, which is home to 90 percent of the world's jadeite rough.
Yunnan City, a small city on the border between China and Myanmar, is the bridgehead from China to Myanmar.
But it is also a big city, it has the largest gambling stone market in China, and the story of getting rich overnight and going bankrupt is staged every day.
At this time, on the street, there is a pair of handsome men and two women snuggling up to each other, the woman is wearing a big red dress, the beauty is thrilling, and the man is also wearing a coarse cloth trousers, but it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit between the eyebrows.
The most unusual thing is the hair color of the person, one is fiery red, and the other has white hair.
The two walked slowly, and indeed attracted countless repeat customers.
What a fairy couple!
They are Li Xiang and Su Hong, because Su Meiren has been here before, and they will never forget the cross-bridge rice noodles here, and this is also the last stop before entering Myanmar, so they decided to take a break.
said that they received Song Weijing's letter and were stunned by the ingenious content in it, and at the same time, Su Hongxiang also got an adventure - Ruyi Fire Spirit. Under the guidance of Li Xiang, Su Hongxiang bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
As if she had smelled the fragrance she had not seen for a long time, those strange letters seemed to come alive and rotated around Su Hong's makeup for a few weeks, like a butterfly wearing flowers and flowers, up and down, and finally along her bare skin, all penetrating into her body.
Immediately, she noticed that a strange text appeared in her mind, and with the constantly emerging illustrations, she quickly learned this mysterious technique, but it was only in the foundation building period, and she could not perform it.
The two stepped on the flying sword again, and came to Yunyue in ten minutes, walking on the streets, Su Hongmakeup still did not recover from the shock brought by Song Weijing.
Curiously asked: "Xiao Lizi, Ah Jing has really become a master of cultivation?"
Li Xiang was very helpless and said, "Yes, at least it is higher than me, because at my current stage, I can't use the technique of taking pictures." ”
"Moreover, judging from the power of that Fire Spirit Sword Array, it can actually weaken the protection of my Six Void Gold Lock Array, so she is at least above the Void Formation?"
Su Hongxiang was puzzled: "Didn't you say that she was just an ordinary person before she left? Why did she suddenly cross back into the void, didn't it mean that some people have to cultivate to refining for many years, can she still cross the level?"
Li Xiang also frowned, and said: "This is also where I am confused, at that time, I really didn't feel any traces of cultivation on her body, and I couldn't sense the existence of a rank on her body, unless the memory of her previous life was completely erased like you, and even the rank was eliminated, but in that case, how could I cross over to the void period at once?"
"But if there is the help of a higher realm, I may be able to upgrade across the ranks like this, but if I directly ascend to the void period, I can't do it back then!" Li Xiang thought about it and added.
Su Hong's head turned quickly, and she suddenly asked, "What about the grave keeper?"
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and his brows deepened: "He? maybe!"
This mysterious old man is obviously playing a big game of chess, and it's really possible!
Su Hongxiang asked again: "By the way, she said that we were good friends in our previous lives, is it true?"
"Absolutely impossible," Li Xiang said categorically: "In your previous life, except for Xuantian Palace, you didn't have any other friends, and I didn't know her. You know, even without rank, I can see the soul clearly. ”
Thinking of this, he rubbed his lover's little head and said, "I don't want to, I'll know when we go to the United States!"
"Then when are we going?" Su Hongxiang slapped his groping pig hand dissatisfied.
Li Xiang thought for a while and said: "After waking up Ji Bingyu, it will be the Treasure Appreciation Festival of the Phantom Sword Alliance, we need to explore the reality of the entire cultivation world and prepare for the reconstruction of the Xuantian Palace, then after the Treasure Appreciation Festival, I won't go to school anyway, just go abroad to see the cultivation world there!"
Thinking of her previous life, Su Hongxiang had no impression at all, and said, "You always talk about your past life, so what was my past life like?" The two phoenix eyes stared at Li Xiang without blinking, she was very eager to know her past life.
Li Xiang also looked at her seriously and said, "It's the same as now, the charm is moving, and the style is still the same!"
Su Hong's good-looking nostrils snorted slightly, and said, "You can speak." ”
At this time, Yu Guang saw a bustling pedestrian street on the main road, and there were three big characters on the archway: Jade Fang, which was full of people at this time.
Su Hongxiang said happily: "There is a jade street in front, and the largest gambling stone market in China is here, let's go and have a look!"
Li Xiang smiled secretly: Women, no matter what state they reach, they always can't extricate themselves from this shiny thing.
This street in Yunnan is famous in the jade industry in the country, and on both sides of the pedestrian street, there are all jade jewelry shops, and they all have rough stone trading.
However, due to the different strengths, these primitive products are uneven, of course, these primitive, no matter from the sand skin, pine flowers, moire and other skin appearance, there is no superior color, but the price is very high, which is also related to the current international situation.
Whether it is the Burmese military junta or the Hpakant Kachin Army, Myanmar's largest rebel group, the largest source of their military spending is this jadeite rough, which accounts for more than half of their total income. Especially for the Kachin army, the largest source of Burmese jadeite rough is on its territory, and the rough income accounts for more than 90% of the army's total income.
Therefore, although the two sides fought militarily, they did not give an inch. However, when it comes to rough exports, they have a consistent principle: tighten their pockets and keep raising prices.
This is also the reason why the jadeite market continues to heat up and continue to be hot. In addition, like other jade, jadeite is a non-renewable resource, and it is inevitable that the price will continue to rise.
However, the goods in these small shops have different sources, and most of them are smuggled through the China-Myanmar border, so they are basically small in size and poor in appearance.
The two visited a number of stores, and Li Xiang hurriedly browsed through all the rough stones, but did not find a single thing that could make his eyes shine, let alone the inferior star stone, not even the inferior grade.
Su Hongxiang knew that he could see the details inside the rough stone, which was why she was so interested. But as Li Xiang kept shaking her head, she also became disinterested.
Finally, in another disappointment, she pulled Li Xiang and prepared to leave, it was better to eat a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles, although it was far from Li Xiang's level, but it was also the origin of cross-bridge rice noodles, which had a different taste.
They did not return the way they came, but walked along the pedestrian street, preparing to cross the street. Towards the end, I was attracted by the lively scene.
There is a small square here, and across the square is the largest auditorium in Yunnan, the People's Theater. At this time, it was full of people, and there was a big banner hanging in front of the theater: The 15th Jade Rough Stone Fair in Yunnan.
Seeing this place, Su Hong's makeup seemed to have just sounded, and said: "Oh, I forgot about the fair, Xiao Lizi, there must be something good in it, I once accompanied my mother to come, this trade fair was founded by several of the largest wool merchants in China, and all the rough wool materials are imported from Myanmar through formal channels, but the price is also ridiculously expensive." ”
Seeing that her interest rose again, Li Xiang was very helpless, so he had to say, "Then go in and have a look." In fact, he has no interest in these rough stones, which are not even inferior grades, and obviously picks the rest. Wouldn't it be better to get to the origin of the ore soon. The main thing is that time is pressing, and now is really not the time to go sightseeing.
When I came to the door of the theater, I understood why so many people surrounded but didn't go in, because the admission deposit required 100,000 yuan per person, and the ticket was 5,000 yuan.
Isn't this a money grab? This is what the crowd of onlookers criticized the most. Most of these people come to visit, and there are few who can really spend a lot of money, who would spend that money on this obviously gambling thing?
After all, "irrational" people are only a minority. Of course, Li Xiang is not bad for this money. Lei Lei is actually very particular about people, Li Xiang clearly did not want sauce income, she still gave him dividends from time to time, although compared to the huge income, it is only a drop in the bucket, but it has also reached more than three million, that is, the apartment of Dongfanghui has also been transferred to Li Xiang's name.
In full view of everyone, two more "irrational" people paid money to enter.
The entire theater was brightly lit and full of people. The first half of the stage and seats were all moved out to make way for a wide open space, which was now filled with numbered stones, of varying sizes, from the large ones being more than a man tall to the small ones the size of a palm. There are thousands of large and small pieces of land in the entire open space.
Each stone is marked with a large label detailing the provenance of the rough, even the shipping process, import changes, and of course, the most important price.
The reason why it is marked in such detail is that there is only one purpose, to tell you: you can't buy fakes here, all wool is imported in original packaging.
The reason why they are so confident is that the wool traders who set up the trade fair are inextricably linked with the Burmese military junta and the Hpakant Kechin army, and basically belong to the spokesperson of the latter, of course, this is the result of the tacit acquiescence of many parties, including jadeite product manufacturers, sellers and local governments.
This situation is also playing out to varying degrees in Myanmar's neighboring countries. As a result of this, the monopoly of the jadeite market is ensured to the greatest extent, and the jadeite market can continue to heat up, maintain the maximization of profits, and strangle all other big sharks who want to enter the market and get a piece of the pie.
Therefore, most of the real entrants are in the middle of the jadeite market, jadeite processors and sellers, and of course, gamblers looking for excitement and spending a lot of money.
I saw that in the field, many big high-rollers with their own jade appraisers wandered in front of the stones, and there were even long queues at the trading office, which still couldn't stop their enthusiasm.
And Li Xiang led Su Hong's makeup, his dark eyes swept over the large pile of rough stones, and suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "There are really good things!"
