1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"You can cut it in any way, but the more times you cut it, the brighter the material will be, and the profit for everyone will not be that high." Chen Tiezhu said to the middle-aged man who spoke.

"It seems that Mr. Chen is really confident." The middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd.

"Of course, I'm just betting on luck. I'm luckier than Xiao Huang, so I can definitely make more money by cutting it. But I'm quite puzzled, what's the matter with you?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Nothing, I'm just very interested in cutting stones. I heard that Mr. Chen cuts stones very carefully, so I'm a little curious." The middle-aged man said.

"Then why should I waste my breath on you? This piece of material was bought for 37,000 yuan. It looks pretty good, but the potential danger is that it may crack." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"We are playing with luck, let's start cutting from this side. After that, we will see how the material is. If there is no crack or the crack is shallow, I can make another profit."

After that, Chen Tiezhu fixed the material, and this cut was deeper than usual.

People also stared at it, even though they couldn't see anything now.

But after seeing a little green in the stone powder brought out by the cutter, they knew that it must have cut directly into the meat.

But whether this cut was good or bad can only be determined after the cut.

"Sure enough, there is a crack, it's a pity for such a good piece of material."

"Yes, it looks like an ice type, and the crack is a bit deep."

"It looks like there is still a lot of meat inside, I don't know how much it is going to sell for."

...

After the cutter was lifted, people around started to talk.

Chen Tiezhu picked up the stone, looked at it carefully from the side, and then shone the flashlight on the edge of the crack, revealing a big smile.

"Come up and take a look. The starting price of this material is 150,000 US dollars. Thank you, Mr. Huang. Xiao Zhou, you host the auction, and I will cut the next piece of material."

After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he put the material aside and picked up material No. 1328.

This starting price was incredible when it was called out. It was higher than the transaction price of the larger material just now.

What does this mean?

It means that the water quality is indeed good, and the crack is not actually deep.

There is a saying in the industry, don't be afraid of big cracks, be afraid of small cracks. If the big cracks are not transparent, the material on the side can still be used.

Small cracks are not okay. Those things are densely packed, and who knows how far they will expand.

The starting price is not called randomly, you have to be worth this price.

People rushed over to check, and Huang Wenxuan felt that his eyes were black from time to time.

He really didn't expect that two of the three pieces of material had increased in value after being cut.

Even if the last piece was cut badly, what would happen? The money earned from the first two pieces of material had already covered all the costs.

How could he increase the value of the material?

Was his luck really that bad?

Many of the onlookers were a little confused. They wanted to see the material auctioned by Zhou Fengxia and also wanted to see Chen Tiezhu cutting stones, but they couldn't watch them all now.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu, who had just fixed the rough material, did not turn on the machine, but looked at Huang Wenxuan, "Do you want to play?"

"We bought this piece of material for 41,500 yuan. If you are interested, I will take a loss and sell it to you for 60,000 yuan."

"Don't let you always say that I bully you. After all, we are fellow villagers. Even if we are not crying, we have to take care of you. Do you want to play?"

Chen Tiezhu asked cheerfully, and immediately pushed Huang Wenxuan to the Nantianmen.

If he didn't play, after today's scene, whenever he came to the public auction in the future, someone would think of what happened today.

What if he played? If he really cut it down, it would confirm Chen Tiezhu's saying that he was gambling on luck, and he would have no chance to make a living in this industry in the future.

"If you two play, I will wait a while before starting the auction." Zhou Fengxia said happily.

Huang Wenxuan's heart was also a mess, and he was very entangled.

"It's no point to play with you. This is the material you bought originally, and I won't be jealous if it goes up."

After weighing it several times, Huang Wenxuan spoke.

His face was hot because he felt that Chen Tiezhu was seducing him into a trap.

But no matter what, he chose to avoid fighting and had already lost a game.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, turned on the machine, and the cutter pressed down directly.

Zhou Fengxia originally wanted to arrange the auction, but now seeing this situation, he chose to continue watching the fun. Let people study this material first, Brother Chen cuts it too well.

Although the crack is still there, but you use a flashlightIf you light it, you can see it roughly.

The remaining gambling nature is to see how much meat there is underneath.

Gambling on stones is a risk, otherwise you would just cut it and sell it.

"Hey, not bad, how come it has increased again, thank you Mr. Huang."

After cutting the material, Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Oh my God, it's amazing, this piece of material is not big, and it's ice type."

"How come this ice type is worthless?"

"Nonsense, how can the material selected by Master Chen be bad?"

"Master Chen is really amazing."

...

The people watching also discussed it.

Sometimes you really can't be unconvinced, and no matter how unconvinced you are, there is a real example in front of you.

"Mr. Huang, I'll give you one last chance." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"For this piece of material now, I will sell it to you for 85,000 US dollars, which is absolutely a conscience price. Looking at the current performance, it will be easy to bid more than 90,000."

Listening to his words, the people around nodded.

Chen Tiezhu said fair and honest words. Judging from the atmosphere today, it would be easy to bid over 100,000 US dollars, not to mention 90,000.

At this time, the pressure was put on Huang Wenxuan again.

The reason is very simple. He doesn't know if Chen Tiezhu is setting him up. But now he is very regretful. He might as well buy it directly for 60,000 US dollars.

But regret is useless. Who made him think too much at that time?

If he bought it himself and cut it again, would he be able to win back a city?

Thinking of this, Huang Wenxuan's mind was a little shaken.

"You are a grown man. What's the matter with a little more money? There are so many people waiting. Xiao Zhou didn't bid yet. Whether to do it or not, give me a straight answer." Chen Tiezhu frowned and urged.

"What's the big deal? I'll arrange to transfer the money to you right away."

Huang Wenxuan said.

After being squeezed by Chen Tiezhu again and again, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

And he just saw that the performance of this material was really good. His judgment was that Chen Tiezhu was still waiting for him to not dare to take the challenge, and then humiliate him.

The people around him were so happy. This is how it should be. This is really fun.
