My fishing game syncs with reality

"Why does it take so long to buy something?" Yi Chen asked when he saw Gu Nan coming back with something.

Gu Nan put the things in the back seat and explained, "I met Li Shuai. When I was a kid, he was playing scratch cards to earn pocket money. I scratched 50 tickets too. Who knew I won 10,000 on the first one!"

"I won ten thousand on the first ticket?" Yi Chen widened his eyes in surprise.

Ten thousand yuan is nothing nowadays when my family is rich, but winning ten thousand yuan on a scratch-off lottery ticket is a big deal, and it’s the first one.

Gu Nan started the car and said with a smile: "You know, I always get the first one to win when I go fishing, and the first one is usually good. Maybe this luck also affects the scratch lottery."

Yi Chen said with a smile: "Then you should go more often in the future and buy some lottery tickets. If the first number can be correct, we don't need to go to sea or set up a company. We can get rich just by buying lottery tickets."

"Don't be ridiculous. If you buy this thing casually, you might win something. But if you buy it on purpose, I guarantee you'll get nothing."

Gu Nan shook his head, showing no interest in any of this.

However, he still planned to find an opportunity to buy some tomorrow. If he really won a prize on his first purchase, he would definitely go to the south and buy some jadeite raw stones for fun.

I haven't thought about gambling on jade, mainly because I haven't given my wife and parents decent gifts after making money. If I can get some jadeite of decent quality, I can process it and give it as a gift, and also get a teething stick for my child.

Although the baby has not been born yet, it does not prevent us from preparing in advance.

The next day, Ajun and Ye Jing came to his shop, and then the three of them went to see the boat together.

The boat is parked right at Fisherman's Wharf, not alongside the shore, but in deep water, so you need to take a small boat to get there.

Gu Nan simply asked the other party to drive the boat to the shipyard and find someone to check the condition of the fishing boat.

On the surface, it looks fine. As long as there are no problems in just a few years, it can be used as a new boat.

For example, Gu Nan’s luxury fishing boat, if well maintained, the hull and interior will still look very good even after ten years, and the price will not be too low when it is sold second-hand.

It’s just not easy to sell. After all, those who have money to buy may give priority to new ships, while those who don’t have money can just feast their eyes on them.

The hull inspection mainly involves important equipment such as the engine, so the process is not slow. Two hours later, a general report on the fishing boat reached Gu Nan's hands.

The situation is similar to what Xu Chengcheng said, there is nothing wrong with the boat.

In terms of price, the other party offered eight million, but Gu Nan did not comment on the price.

This price is actually the real price, but it can still be bargained down.

The boat is indeed big, but the interior configuration is rather ordinary. Secondly, the decoration level is not high enough. However, this is a minor problem. Buying a boat and decorating it is secondary, since he is not going to live in it anyway.

If it's a new ship, the price can be as high as two million, but if it's a second-hand ship,

Mainly bought second-hand, they will depreciate greatly if you sell them later, and secondly, they are difficult to sell again.

It is normal for an item to be listed online for one or two years, so Gu Nan, who bought it second-hand, felt that a price less than 500,000 yuan would be enough.

But the other party was not willing to pay half a million at once.

If he didn't need the money urgently, he wouldn't want to sell it at all.

Finally, Gu Nan agreed to pay three million directly in the upfront and settle the remaining balance one month later.

Three million is enough for the other party to solve the problems at home.

Secondly, once his family issues are resolved, he can use the remaining money to buy a smaller boat and continue renting boats.

Seeing that the money was given so readily, the ship owner finally agreed.

In fact, if he put it up for sale online, I guess the price would be about the same, unless he took it to auction.

But if the auction is for fishing boats and smaller ones, the market is better, while the market for this kind of large fishing boats is relatively ordinary.

It’s not like he hasn’t tried it before, but many people asked him about it and the price was not ideal.

Gu Nan does not need to be responsible for the transfer agreement, Ye Jing will handle it.

Except for the first ship, which was handled by Gu Nan personally, he was left to handle the rest on his own, and he was very familiar with the business procedures.

Deputy Captain Ye was promoted now and became the captain of a medium to large fishing boat.

In addition to transfers, they also need to recruit people.

A large ship requires a lot of crew members, as well as an experienced first mate, cleaners, cooks, etc.

Gu Nan was a very hands-off boss and left immediately, handing things over to An Jun.

Anyway, he often recruits people when he opens a shop and is familiar with the business.

The fishing boat caught the fish much faster than Gu Nan had expected, but he planned to rest for two days before going out to sea again.

He was just sitting around in the store doing nothing, and thought that the fishing boat he had just bought would be ready to go out to sea in a week or so, so he made a special trip to the club, intending to ask the club to send a message to ordinary and senior members to see if he could attract a group of customers.

When he walked into the office, Gu Nan was surprised to find that Wang Jun and Guo Xiao were both there.

There were a few small stones on the desk, and the two were playing with them.

Gu Nan was very surprised to see these stones. He had just had the idea of ​​playing with stones and planned to ask Wang Jun and them if they were familiar with this!
No need to ask now, just go to them directly.

If you play with stones and don’t have acquaintances, there is a 99.99% chance that you will be cheated. Secondly, even if you don’t have connections, you still can’t buy really good materials.

"Brother Wang and Brother Guo, are you still gambling on stones?"

Wang Junhe shook his head: "Not really, just a little fun. Don't get too carried away with this, or else even if Lao Guo and I are wealthy, we won't be able to afford it."

Gu Nan walked forward and picked up a stone to play with, but as a newbie, he had no idea what it was.

“Is this a jadeite stone from Myanmar?”

"Yes, these are the eight open-cut raw stones. This batch of materials is pretty good. I asked a friend to bring them to you. If you are interested, please choose one?" Wang Junhe nodded and said with a smile.

"Really? Then let's go with this one!" Gu Nan felt that this was the one he chose right when he arrived, so maybe there really were good things in it.

"What do the other eight openings mean? Can you tell me about it?"

"Come here, let me tell you." Guo Xiao likes to be a teacher, so he immediately sat down and gave him some basic knowledge.

"Each open-pit mined material has corresponding characteristics. For example, the piece in your hand is a piece of material from the Southern Qi open pit."

"The waxy skin on the outside has fallen off." Guo Xiao turned the rough stone over and pointed to the yellowish brown area on it. "This place is soapstone. It looks very slippery when you sprinkle water on it, so it's called soapstone."

"Under the soapstone is sand, under the sand is fog, and under the fog is flesh."

After saying this, seeing Gu Nan's confused look, Guo Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Knowing that he was a newbie, he carefully explained to him what fog and meat were.

"In short, there is a saying about Nanqi materials: miracles happen in Nanqi. Because you can't see any characteristics inside from the outside."

“So you can’t see anything on the outside of a lot of Nanqi materials because they are too thick, so once you cut it open the price goes up a lot.”

Gu Nan's heart was moved when he heard this. If his luck was really true, perhaps there would be something good in this material.

Not only did he think so, Wang Junhe beside him also suddenly remembered that Gu Nan had always had good luck because of this sentence, so he suggested: "Do you want to cut it open and see?"

Gu Nan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Shouldn't you polish the skin first before gambling on the stone?"

"It depends on the situation. Some materials have heavy oil on the outside and obvious water quality characteristics, so we make a cut to see the situation."

Wang Junhe shook his head and said, "The piece of material you chose is not small. It weighs more than 20 kilograms. It is relatively large. Plus, the shell is thick, so it is better to cut it directly." Hearing him say this, Gu Nan also became interested. Why is gambling on stones fun? Isn't it the excitement of opening a blind box?

When gambling on stones, even very experienced masters can make mistakes. The only thing they can do is to avoid making mistakes and not be fooled by imitation fakes. This is the charm of gambling on stones.

"Brother Wang, this piece of material is considered as you transferring it to me. How about it if it is cut or increased in price, it will be mine?" Gu Nan said.

Wang Junhe said with a smile: "I am short of these tens of thousands of dollars! If the price goes up, it's yours, if it goes down, it's mine. Even if you cut out the imperial green, it's yours. Let's go and cut the stone. These are mine too."

"Cut them all?"

"This batch is current material, not the good old material from more than ten years ago. There is no need to polish it. Secondly, the value is not high, so just cut it directly."

So, Gu Nan, who had just arrived at the club, helped move all the materials to Wang Junhe's pickup truck and set out to cut the materials.

As for attracting customers, is this true?
Wang Junhe has a total of ten pieces of material. The small one weighs about one pound, and the big one, Gu Nan's piece, weighs twenty-three kilograms. It takes time to cut them all, so he cuts the piece he chose first.

The place where the materials were cut was in one of his small villas. This place was a property of Wang Junhe, specially used for playing with stones.

As soon as he entered the house, Gu Nan saw various jade ornaments and many raw stones, which were obviously their collections.

He picked up a small piece of material with a window cut into it. There was a thin layer of skin on the outside, and inside was a piece of jadeite that was dark green.

Wang Junhe came up to him and introduced: "Don't be fooled by the dark green color on the surface. In fact, this piece of jade is of very high quality."

As he spoke, he took out a small flashlight from somewhere and shone it directly on it.

"Look, this green is so transparent, isn't it beautiful?"

"Hey, it's true!"

"The rough stone doesn't look very good, but it looks very good after being polished. I bought this stone from someone for 250,000 eight years ago."

"The price has increased significantly after the window was opened. Now this piece is worth more than one million yuan, so it has a lot of room for appreciation. This size can also be made into a bracelet. If there is no problem when it is cut, and there are no cracks or anything like that, this bracelet will be worth a lot of money."

Gu Nan took a deep breath when he heard this: "Isn't this imperial green?"

Wang Junhe shook his head. "No, it's not at this level yet. I've been playing with Imperial Green for more than ten years, and I've only seen someone open it once."

Guo Xiao smiled and said, "Imperial green is a rare treasure in itself. It's not easy to get it. It's very good to get ice type. Glass type is too rare."

Gu Nan felt that there were many tricks in gambling on stones, and today he had really opened his eyes.

He admired the two people's collections. There was no imperial green, but there was a piece of glass-type purple jadeite.

The small thing was wrapped separately and stored in the safe, and it was obviously Wang Junhe's treasure.

Guo Xiao's is not of such high quality, but the quantity is a little larger, there are three pieces. One of them is aqua blue, and the blue and white color is particularly beautiful.

"Let's go cut the stone first. It will take a long time anyway. Come back later."

"Row."

The group came to a room at the back, which was a complete factory specially used for cutting raw stones.

Wang Junhe took out a marker and a ruler and drew a line along a large crack on the material chosen by Gu Nan.

The raw stone will be cut from the position below the crack later.

After fixing the raw stone and closing the machine cover, Wang Junhe pressed the switch and the machine started running.

The three people did not leave. This is not a line cut, the speed is still relatively fast. Just wait.

If it were wire cutting, it would take at least twelve hours to cut such a large stone.

Gu Nan took the opportunity to ask the two older brothers for advice, wanting to understand the ins and outs of gambling on stones.

As a fisherman at sea, it is not easy for him to get some heirlooms, unless he encounters a shipwreck.

But a shipwreck is not easy to come across, and salvaging it is also a difficult task.

Now that I have access to raw stones, I can play around with them. If I’m lucky enough to get material worth over a million dollars, I can pass it down as a family heirloom.

If you really encounter difficulties one day, you can sell the materials and get money for emergency needs.

The owner of the fishing boat who was selling it told him from his own experience that if you don't have any assets, you can only sell this or that when you encounter an emergency.

He also has a boat, but unfortunately it is depreciating.

Jade is different, it will continue to appreciate in value.

Just like Wang Jun and that piece of purple material, he spent more than 1.2 million to buy it five years ago, and then after the window was opened, the price increased greatly, and now the value has soared to tens of millions.

There are no cracks on the material, so it can not only be carved, but also made into bracelets, and more than one, so its value is particularly high.

Guo Xiao has three pieces, and their total value is over 10 million.

This is the most valuable jade raw material here, but they have a lot of collections. Wang Junhe alone has more than 50 pieces of material with windows opened, worth millions.

Guo Xiao is in a similar position. The value of the raw stones in this house alone is worth hundreds of millions, not to mention some of the finished products and various jewelry that have already been carved.

Gu Nan had no idea how rich they were before, but today he witnessed it briefly.

He felt that he had to take advantage of the next few years to make money and try to exchange it for these valuable things.

In addition to jade, gold is also okay and you can save some.

Compared to jade, gold is not afraid of collapse or loss, but it is not as exciting as gambling on stones, and there is no chance to get rich overnight.

Unconsciously, time passed as Gu Nan learned about gambling on stones, and the raw stone had been cut.

"Come on, it's time to witness a miracle." Wang Junhe moved the stone out.

The stone is still attached at one point, so it cannot be seen for the time being.

The three men went to the outer room and placed the stone on the table.

Wang Junhe took out a flat-blade screwdriver, handed it to Gu Nan and said, "Come on, open the stone yourself. Whether it will rise or fall depends on this."

Gu Nan swallowed and took the screwdriver. At this moment he felt a little nervous.

That is to say, I didn’t spend any money myself, otherwise I would have a better sense of participation.

Gu Nan inserted the screwdriver into the cut and pried it down. "Bang~", a crisp sound like glass breaking was heard, which made Wang Junhe and Guo Xiao's eyes light up.

This is a good sign!
I know there are seeds inside by the sound, but I don’t know what variety they are or whether they can bloom.

Gu Nan opened the stone, and two glass surfaces like a pool of spring water appeared in front of the three people.

It is white and black, with some faint blue flowers as embellishment.

"Fuck, that's great, a big increase!" Wang Junhe said immediately.

Guo Xiao was also surprised: "Anan, you are really lucky. The price went up sharply right after it was opened."

Gu Nan himself felt that the quality was very good. At this moment, he felt that it was not luck, but BUFF. He must win the prize for the first time. (End of this chapter)
