Chapter Fifty-Nine: Arrival at Ping Chau
After a four-and-a-half-hour journey, the group arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Sun Zhengan is obviously not the first time to come here, his company has also arranged the itinerary well, and there is a 13-seat Toyota Coaster waiting for them at the airport after getting off the plane. Several people took another hour and a half by car to Pingzhou. Pingzhou, China's new jade trading hub, has also attracted people from all over the country to buy. Li Hao could hear accents from all over the world appearing here.
After a hasty meal, the group went straight to the gambling stone market, the main purpose of this visit.
"It's getting harder and harder to find some good ingredients these days. Zhang Youde said with emotion. A few people walked around the market, but no one saw the rough they wanted to buy.
"Yes, Myanmar is now very strict about the export of jadeite rough, and they are also aware of the importance of jadeite as a non-renewable resource. Sun Zhengan also sighed.
"Yes, if this continues, our domestic jade market will be unsustainable!" said Master Wang Chuanxin.
"Third Uncle, why don't I see that many people come here to buy stones?" Li Hao asked curiously.
"It's not time yet, and the time to really sell good things is after dusk. That's why there will be some people who come to receive the goods to buy stones, let's take a look first, and the main thing will be later. Sun Zhengan said.
"Why did you come at that time?" asked Li Hao.
"Because it is easy for buyers to see a lot of things when it gets dark, so that the seller's goods are easy to sell!" Zhang Youde explained.
"Oh, so they're going to sell fakes!" Li Hao asked.
"Not really, it's just a way to sell your stuff for a higher price. Of course, there will be some fakes. Master Wang also explained.
It can be seen that these are all veterans of gambling stones. Li Hao also didn't use the function of the cloud ball to open and look for stones, so he decided to wait until it got dark to look for them. Sun Yuying, Xia Lu, and Zhang Shaohua, who was following on the side, didn't seem to understand and didn't interject. A few people walked around the market again. I found a store with a relatively large façade and went in.
After entering the door, Zhang Youde greeted the people in the store first. Obviously, Zhang Youde is familiar with the people in this store. "Xiao Li, where's your boss?"
"Yo, Boss Zhang, when did you arrive in Pingzhou! Our boss went home to pick up the goods. I guess I'll be back in a while, why don't you take a look first?" the guy in the store greeted Zhang Youde.
"Okay, let's see for ourselves. Sun Zheng'an who spoke.
"Yo, Boss Sun is here too! "Guy Xiao Li politely invited a group of people into the backyard. Obviously, the backyard is the real place to put the stones. A few people followed the guy Xiao Li to the back, through a thin corridor, the guy took the key to open the lock of a big black iron door, after opening the door, Li Hao saw that it was a warehouse-like room, the light was very dim, this should be the third uncle They said that the environment suitable for selling rough stones. Li Hao thought about it and followed everyone into the warehouse.
After entering, he found that his group was not the only one who had come to buy the rough stones, and at this time there were already two groups of people carrying stones each, and the warehouse was full of large and small stones. It means that there are their own numbers written on them, which is estimated to be convenient for recording prices. After entering, everyone's eyesight was affected at first, and it took a few minutes to get used to the light. Soon experts such as Zhang Youde and Master Wang were busy, and they went to find the stones they wanted. The third uncle also seems to be knowledgeable, and he also took out a strong flashlight to shine there, this and that. Li Hao felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't even have a strong flashlight when he came to buy a gambling stone.
I thought about whether I could borrow one from others and was embarrassed to speak, so I still gave up the idea of using a strong flashlight, anyway, I also relied on the cloud ball to buy stones, so I also found the stone with jade in it from the ground.
Xia Lu followed behind Li Hao like a little tail, Sun Yuying didn't seem to have the intention of looking at the stone and followed Li Hao, Zhang Shaohua was obviously with this Sun Yuying. Li Hao was very suspicious of his purpose in coming to Pingzhou this time. In this way, there are more amateur players in Li Hao's group. 、
Because the lights are dim, as long as Li Hao does something, as long as he doesn't pay attention to it, no one will see it at all. Li Hao decisively opened the hanging, and sprinkled a large area of the Feimi robot to scan the jadeite rough on the ground, because it was too dim here, so he couldn't wear scanning glasses, so he handed over all the tasks of screening jadeite to Hongjun, and he pretended to look at this piece and touch that piece there.
"Brother Li, do you know this gambling stone? I see that you look very serious. Xia Lu asked on the side.
"I don't know much, I've heard of it before, and it's the first time I've bought it myself. Li Hao replied.
"Well, I wanted you to recommend one to me, and I wanted to buy a cheap one to see if I could make a jadeite, and if I could, I would make a bracelet for my mother." Xia Lu said whimsically.
"Xiaolu, you really dare to say that the rough stones that can open the bracelet will be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan. If you're unlucky, you'll lose all your money. Li Hao reminded.
"That's it! Xia Lu stuck out her tongue and said.
"Hey, forget it for a while, brother, I'll give you a piece, and you can open the jadeite. Li Hao said confidently.
"I said Brother Li, what you said is too full! It's almost all gambling wool here, if you can guarantee to open the jade, you won't be the jade king." Zhang Shaohua, who was on the side, picked up the opportunity to hit Li Haodao.
Li Hao was also speechless, he didn't bother him, and he always sent him up to be trampled on. Although Li Hao also felt that he was a few levels higher than him, that didn't prevent him from having some fun.
"What I said was not up to you, I said that I guaranteed that the jade would naturally be able to bloom. By the way, I don't know you very well, what's your name, what's Zhang......" Li Hao said as if he couldn't remember his name.
"Zhang Shaohua. Xia Lu added beside her.
"That's right, it's called Zhang Shaohua, right? You're here to buy the jade rough, right? Then you must also bet on the stone?" Li Hao asked defiantly.
"Of course, Master Zhang is the gambling stone master I found, but I have learned a lot from Uncle Zhang, and I dare not say that it is not difficult to win a layman like you. Zhang Shaohua said very arrogantly.
Li Hao didn't expect him to be so cooperative, and thought: "This male in heat really doesn't use his brain to think about problems, and he really spares no effort to show himself in front of females." ”
"Oh, win me, I don't think so, or else! They have to choose for a long time in the professional group, how about we make a little game?" Li Hao proposed.
"What kind of game?" Xia Lu asked impatiently.
"Oh, this Mr. Zhang said that gambling stones can beat me. I'm also a little unconvinced, so let's pick 3 stones and buy them, let's compare whose stone has a higher price of jade, two wins in three games, and the loser has to bear the cost of 6 stones?
"Nonsense, I'm the young owner of Washington Jewelry, and the whole jewelry store belongs to my family. Although you said it very happily, but do you have any money?" Zhang Shaohua said in a military voice.
"This is the Centurion Black Gold Card, and my limit is that I can overdraft 100 million, so you don't have to worry about me running out of money. Li Hao took out a card from his pocket. These words not only shocked Zhang Shaohua, but even Xia Lu and Sun Yuying on the side were also shocked, although Xia Lu knew that Brother Li was rich, but she really didn't know how rich he was, and Sun Yuying was even more surprised when Li Hao was so rich.
But Li Hao didn't care what their expressions were, just continued: "Now that we can prove that we both have the strength to pay, then let's talk about the rules of the competition! First of all, we can't pick too big stones, so not only is it inconvenient to hold, but there will be no technical content, otherwise you can find three stones weighing several tons to compare with my small stones, even if there is a little garbage in them, it may be more expensive than small stones." Besides, if we limit the time, you can't find it for a lifetime. It seems that what Li Hao said is very reasonable.
"Okay, I agree. Zhang Shaohua said.
"Well, let's set the maximum to be no more than 20 kilograms, and as for the time, you can set it for the sake of fairness. Li Hao said seemingly fairly. Because at this time, Hongjun has already marked all the wool materials with jadeite, and none of the good wool materials weigh more than 20 kilograms.
"Okay, then set an hour, and we'll compare in an hour. Zhang Shaohua also said with confidence.
"Okay, that's it. So let's get started. Yingying, you and Xiaolu are here to remember the time. As he spoke, Li Hao walked towards a few pieces of wool marked by Hongjun.
Zhang Shaohua was not to be left behind, and followed to find the wool he wanted.
