Huayu for engineering students

Chapter 16
Gambling stones is actually not fun at all, and it is even dirty.A group of ragged people picked and picked among a pile of dirty stones, looking around with a small flashlight, hoping to find some clues from the appearance as evidence for the presence of emeralds.

This process is actually a process of constant self-denial and strengthening psychologically. No one can judge all the information obtained completely calmly. Therefore, the difference between random selection after rough judgment and careful selection is so small that it can be ignored.

The so-called experts are actually geologists or mineralogists who judge ore veins according to the division of strata and the age of the epidermis.When it comes to each stone, even a senior mineralogist will be blind.As for stone gambling experts, they are similar to those who buy lottery tickets, there are people who believe in it, and there are no people who don't believe it.

Wang Xu is actually cheating, he has done this in other worlds, but each world is different, so the feedback of inner energy is also different.

So he touched the stone first and then gave up. After looking at the results of others buying it, he can analyze the specific meaning of the information.

He had done some homework in the jewelry store before, and now he had a general idea, a direction for what was good.As for those details, the information feedback can't be that detailed, unless there is a big break or something, then it can only be based on luck.

Therefore, Wang Xu will not gamble on too expensive rough stones, because he is not a gambler in nature, he is an engineering student, he only believes in the logical judgment after the information is aggregated, and makes a decision whether to buy or not based on the probability.

It was Wang Fei's first visit to this kind of place, and she was very interested in watching it. From time to time, she cheered for everything's success, and the little girl's mentality was fully displayed.

Recently, Wang Fei began to develop a tendency to be childish. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Wang Xu muttered a little, but there is no future experience for reference.Wang Fei in front of people can still know a little bit, but who knows about Wang Fei in front of people, anyway, he still likes this one now.

"Why don't you buy it?"

"Look again"

"There is a seat over there, let's sit and watch over there."

"it is good"

Wang Fei dragged Wang Xu out of the crowded area. There was a teahouse next to it, which was actually reserved for the bosses who came to buy.

The boss who gambled on the stone saw the two men coming in clean clothes, thinking that they were also here to collect finished products. Seeing the two men coming, he hurriedly greeted the two men to take a seat and rest.

If the stones are collected directly here, there will be five points pumped to the owner, and this point is paid by the jadeite buyer.Because the owner of the goods is often responsible for cumbersome matters such as guarantee, security, and consignment, so those who come to collect the stones are also willing to pay the money.

Anyway, if you don’t like it, you don’t need to accept it. For the owner, only the stone with the money and the goods can be cut, and the owner of the stone masonry only earns a service fee.The subsequent business is the business of others, and the owner of the goods does not have to guarantee your business.

In short, to collect stones is to give money to the benefactor, not only to give money, but also to bring popularity.When someone comes to receive the goods, there will be more people who come to gamble on stones. This is a mutually beneficial transaction, and only those who lose their bets lose money.

When the two sat down, they realized that there were three tea tables in this tea seating area.There are already two people at the other table, wearing shirts and trousers on a hot day, and there is no air conditioner here, so the two of them are constantly fanning themselves.

Seeing a newcomer coming, the two thought they were traveling together, so they couldn't help but stop their fans and look at Wang Xu and them.

"Why do I think that girl looks familiar?"

"It seems so, but it's a pity that I'm wearing sunglasses, so I can't see clearly. Is it a star? From mainland China?"

"It's definitely not a mainland star. Where do I know a mainland star? Has any star come to the mainland recently?"

"I haven't heard of it"

The two spoke Cantonese, and of course Wang Fei could understand them, knowing that they doubted her.Wang Xu actually understands it too, but if he sees it through, he doesn't need to rush to tell everyone whether I can speak Cantonese.

This is the imperial capital, even if you recognize it, it's no big deal, Wang Fei doesn't care much, she doesn't mind her relationship being exposed in Xiangjiang, let alone in the imperial capital.

Wang Xu glanced at the two Xiangjiang boys, and stopped paying attention.He judged that these two people should not be some kind of boss, but they probably did business. After all, collecting stones in such a small place, the boss can't be bothered to come.

After almost an hour, five or six people had already cut the stone, and they all collapsed.A few buyers were frustrated and lamented, but that was all.

The stones here are not cheap, ranging from 100 to 1000. Calculated by weight, 100 is a grade, but the stones sold by several people are all 100, and the size is very small.

However, these few stones gave Wang Xu enough information. He already had accurate information on the jade, but he was not sure about the stones outside.

Now that the successive collapsed stones gave him enough basis for judgment, Wang Xu decided to make a move.

Wang Xu stood up, dragged Wang Fei to the pile of stones, touched this one, touched that one, found those stones that gave him a special feeling, called the workers, and moved the stones out.

Several stones are not big, the largest one is no more than the size of a human head, and the smaller one is only the size of a fist.

一算账8块石头，一共1800块。其中100的2块，500的1块，剩下的200，300不等。

Wang Xu took out banknotes from his satchel to pay the bill. There is no mobile phone payment in this year, and cash is king. You see, the bosses in this era have to carry a handbag with them, otherwise there is really no place to put money.

In this day and age, when visiting places like Liulichang, you either use a satchel or a fanny pack, never use a backpack, you have to use it backwards, and hold it.Otherwise, you won't be able to walk a whole street at all, and the money in your bag will be gone.

Wang Xu uses a satchel with a very short strap to ensure that the bag is on his waist, and he can always press it with his hands, so as to save the bag from being scratched, and the bag will be damaged if he loses money.

After clearing the money and the goods, Wang Xu entrusted the master to cut the stones. The small stones cost 5 yuan a knife, and the big stones cost 10 yuan a knife, which is not cheap anyway.

Wang Xu picked a small one, sensed it, drew a line with a red pen, and the stone cutter fixed the stone and began to cut the stone.

The stone-cutting process was lackluster, especially the harsh sound made Wang Xu very uncomfortable, but he still had to watch from the sidelines.There are all kinds of people in this year, if you don’t look at it, if someone else drops your bag for you, you have nothing to reason with.

Wang Fei didn't seem to be able to hear the voice, she was very curious and desperately moved closer, scared Wang Xu hurriedly pulled her back behind him.

"Don't get so close, there may be broken stones popping out, and it's over if it gets into your eyes. Let's just watch from a distance."

"Oh oh oh, I get it." Wang Fei immediately understood the danger, so she stopped moving forward, but she was still curious about what could come out of the stone cutting this time. She poked her head behind Wang Xu, as if she could see it like this. of.

The stone is small and cut quickly. In one minute, the master shouted:

"Green out"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xu hurriedly dragged Wang Fei over.

"It's green? Let's be the first one today, go and have a look"

The surrounding people who were still picking stones also stopped their work and surrounded the stone-cutting area.

Wang Xu protected Wang Fei in front of him, stood in the innermost part of the crowd, and carefully looked at the half stone still on the machine.

It is green, but the color is not good, and the texture looks so-so.It must be regarded as an increase, after all, you can buy it for 100 yuan, but whether this kind of thing sells or not depends on your luck.

The people around looked at it and shook their heads involuntarily, that's all, let's go, let's go.

The stone cutter is probably not a veteran, otherwise the green in this situation would not be worth shouting at. As a result, so many people were attracted, his face became red, and he hurriedly removed the stone.

Wang Xu reached out to take the stone, found a sack, and threw it into it.This kind of thing can usually only be thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes, and when there are more than one day, it will be sold to a certain jade merchant.

This, according to ordinary people, is actually a loss, but Wang Xu actually has other plans, but let's eat ashes first.
