The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 913 Missing the Good Goods
With Sadiq as the translator, Bai Meixi had an extra pair of eyes in the market. In addition, Sadiq was originally in the jade business and knew the market very well. No one could deceive him.

The grades of raw jade here are clearly divided. You can buy a lot of particularly poor small stones for a dime, slightly better ones for one yuan per kilogram, and even better ones for 5 yuan to 20 yuan per kilogram. The best ones. First-grade products cost 50 yuan to 80 yuan per kilogram.

The entire jade market is dominated by inferior stones, and you have to rely on luck to find good ones. Some people may not be able to find a suitable stone even after wandering around here for several months.

"Then are these inferior stones also high-quality jade? They are so cheap." Bai Meixi looked at the small stones and felt that some of them did not look bad, even a bit like sub-materials. They looked round and smooth, much like cobblestone.

"Of course there are some, but the quality is not good. Sometimes you can find good products for those that cost 5 yuan to 20 yuan a pound. Some time ago, someone bought a piece of jade material weighing 5 pounds, and it turned out to be a special grade sheep. Zhiyu made huge profits on the spot, I remember selling it for at least 500 yuan."

Sadiq told Bai Meixi the rules of stone gambling. He picked up a stone from a stall and analyzed it starting from the seed coat. What he said was more realistic than the professional man, and he told Bai Meixi The prices shouted by many people around the Jie Shi stall in My Khe are false.

It's just that two groups of people joined forces to deliberately make people around them think that jade is valuable and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. In fact, the jade that was offered was resold to professional purchasers for less than a quarter of the price.

"On my first day here, someone spent 800 yuan to buy a piece of raw jade. Are they all fake?"

Bai Meixi thought about the lively scenes she saw on her first day here. It turned out that they were all scenes of false prosperity.

"It may be true. Sometimes people who buy jade are also fools."

Sadiq smiled mysteriously. There are many tricks in the jade market. It is indeed too dangerous for a woman from Bai Meixi to break into this place.

"Sadiq, don't ruin everyone's business. We have rules here." When a jade merchant saw Sadiq so enthusiastically introducing the tricks of the jade market to a Han Chinese, he suddenly became dissatisfied.

They didn't stop Sadiq from making this windfall, but there were so many vendors in the jade market, and everyone wanted to make more money to build houses and buy land. Sadiq's doing this was tantamount to ruining everyone's good fortune.

"This is my friend, a true friend. She also attended my cousin's wedding yesterday."

When Sadiq saw the surrounding vendors besieging him, he immediately protected Bai Meixi behind him and announced her identity to everyone. She was definitely not his customer, but a friend who he had long regarded as a relative.

"Since we are friends, just take it aside and talk about it. It doesn't matter if you let so many people see you!"

The vendors also knew what Sadiq meant by friends. Everyone in the market knew that he was half Han, so many Han people were very close to him.

This incident made people hate and love each other in the jade market. When people usually entertain some Han businessmen, Sadiq can stand up in time and help them solve many problems, but he talks too much and also gives them a lot of trouble. They tore down quite a few units.

Bai Meixi glanced to the side and found that the stone Sadiq had just picked up had been spotted by another person. According to the price Sadiq just said, the price of this stone would not exceed 20 yuan, but the stall owner I offered a price of 150 yuan and refused to counter-offer even a penny.

"150 is already very cheap. This is the price for regular customers, otherwise I would have to sell it for at least 200 yuan." The stall owner kept looking at Bai Meixi and warned her not to speak easily.

"Can you guarantee that there is jade inside? If I spend 150 yuan to buy a stone, I can't spare you." The foreign businessman showed his shrewdness seriously. He looked at the jade broker next to him and asked him to sign a guarantee.

"Since it is a stone bet, there is no 100% guarantee, but the possibility of producing good jade from this piece of material is very high. How about I pay 50 yuan and take 20% of it? Let's bet together." This is a common method used by jade brokers. On the surface, it looks like they are advancing and retreating together with the guests, but in fact they are just going through the motions. This 150 yuan stone can be sold for [-] yuan, and they make a lot of money.

Sure enough, the foreign merchant was fooled and spent 100 yuan to buy the piece of jade with the jade broker.

"Let's go and dissect the stone now." The foreign merchant was smarter than the fat man before. He asked to dissect the stone on the spot to see if there was any jade material inside.

The jade broker was naturally there to accompany him. Anyway, there was no jade material, so he "lost" the money and could always explain it to him.

Bai Meixi was curious. Sadiq said that the raw stone of this kind of jade might produce good jade material, and she also wanted to see the quality of this jade material.

The people at the stone solution stall took a look at the stone and drew a line on the surface. This time they used a knife to cut it into two halves. They could tell if there was any jade material at a glance.

"This man is brave. Only gambling like this makes him happy. You can tell at a glance whether he is."

People around them all praised him, saying that they liked this kind of stone interpreter the most. Many people cut the jade into half bets and then found a round of buyers first. At this time, it was equivalent to the second time bet on stones.

There are many people who like to use semi-gambling materials. This kind of semi-gambling material can at least guarantee that there is jade material in it, it just depends on the amount, and the first-hand buyer will definitely make money.

However, a truly hearty adventurer will look down on petty profits. The best way to play stone gambling is to make money as much as you want and lose as much as you lose.

"You're lucky. The bet has gone up this time." The man who solved the stone handed over the cut stone. The stone turned out to be blue-white jade, a piece of high-quality Hetian jade, and it was full of jade.

"I'll pay you 500 yuan, and I want this piece of jade."

"I'll pay you 700 yuan and give me this piece of jade."

People around were bidding. The size of this jade stone could be carved into a very good ornament. It has become a rare treasure on the market in the past month.

In the end, the jade was sold at a price of 800 yuan. The fat man's money increased nearly ten times, which made him vaguely regret it. If he had paid all the 150 yuan himself, he wouldn't have to pay for the jade with the money he earned now. Brokers are divided.

Bai Meixi also regretted seeing this. If she had just bought this stone, she would have made hundreds of dollars in profit now.

"He made money, but unless he gets in the car and goes home now, he's going to have to lose the rest."

Sadiq was not optimistic about this matter. After the man got a bargain, he would definitely buy a large basket of stones, but he would not be so lucky then.
