urban evil

Chen Yuyao walked to the host stage, lightly opened her lips into the microphone and said, "Good evening, everyone. On behalf of New Era Shopping Mall, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming, especially the leaders who took time out of their busy schedules. Thank you for your support." participate!"

When the voice fell, Xiaolin below led the hostesses to arrange for everyone to sit down. The middle seat in the first row was reserved for Cheng Wei, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Mayor Pang was on the left, and then Commander Chen.

Luo Lei's seat was between Mayor Pang and Commander Chen, Wang Qing was on the left, and Mu Xue was on the right. Being sandwiched between two beauties was so cool.

This was arranged by Xiaolin according to Chen Yuyao's wishes. Chen Yunfei stretched out his hand to touch her behind while he was walking by, and laughed badly.

These were all seen by Commander Chen, but he didn't say anything.

Luo Lei also saw it, and thought to himself that you are so brave, you even mentioned to play beauty in front of your father, even if it is your girlfriend, but your father doesn't know it!

"Today, we will raise charitable donations in a very interesting way, and all the proceeds will be used for the education of poor children!" Chen Yuyao briefly introduced the purpose of the dinner, and then announced: "Next, the charity gala officially begins!"

As the music sounded, Chen Yuyao stepped off the rostrum and sat in the organizer's office area on the side.

A host with a very provocative tone jumped onto the rostrum, and with a smile on his face, he began to make a long and stinky statement. Then, more than a dozen hostesses put stones one by one on the front of the podium. There are hundreds of them on the table.

In some places, stone gambling is a very old activity, but it is still full of freshness for Huadu residents who stretch out inland.

"Windows" were opened on some of the stones, revealing a small piece of emerald green, while others were rough stones that looked worthless. It is said that these all came from a place in the south where jade was produced, and they were purchased at a high price by the New Era.

There is a price tag under each stone. You can watch it casually, or with the help of professional tools such as a flashlight. If a stone is favored by two or more people at the same time, and they all have the intention to buy, it will enter the bidding stage, similar to auction.

"Next, please ask Secretary Cheng of the Municipal Party Committee to pick the first piece!" The host shouted at the top of his voice.

Cheng Wei smiled and stood up from his seat. From the first stone to the last one, he picked out one that was about the size of a pineapple, and said, "Just this one, whether it's jade or stone, it's finally a contribution to charity." Contribute a little!"

"Secretary Cheng's level is indeed very high, let us people pay attention to him!" The host spared no effort to flatter: "The price of this stone is 3 yuan. May I ask Secretary Cheng, are you going to cut it up and have a look on the spot? Or take it back for collection?"

"Since it's a stone bet, I believe everyone wants to know whether it is stone or jade, so let's cut it on the spot!" Cheng Wei said.

A necessary procedure for gambling stones is cutting. Four staff members lifted up a small water jet cutting machine. Compared with mechanical cutting, water jets have no noise and are suitable for such dinner parties.

Soon, the skilled master cut a knife on the stone, everyone's eyes widened, and the stone was still exposed inside.Cut it at another angle, it's still a stone.

Cheng Wei had a smile on his face, but he was actually more nervous than anyone else. 3 yuan was nothing to him, but if the opportunity turned into 10, or 30, or 300 million, who would refuse?

Then came the third cut, finally showing a little green, and then the fourth cut.

In the end, the master brought a piece of jade the size of a small egg with some impurities to Cheng Wei, and said: "Although the quality of this piece of jade is not very good, it is worth more than 3 yuan. Congratulations! "

"Hehe, luck is really great!" Cheng Wei said happily.

Everyone saw that picking out an unremarkable stone at random, and cutting out things without losing money, everyone was eager to try.Next, enter the stage of random selection.Cheng Wei was the only one who had the individual selection, which made him feel more honored, and cast a satisfied look at Chen Yuyao.

As the organizer, Chen Yuyao also came to the exhibition stand with everyone.

"Sister Yuyao, how much money did you bet this time?" Luo Lei asked in a low voice pretending to be picking stones.

"It's okay, including the other expenses of the dinner, it's not more than 40!" Chen Yuyao said with a smile.

"Oh, then I'm relieved!" Luo Lei nodded and said with a smile: "I'm still worried. If jade can be cut out of every stone, the price of this batch of stones will not be so high. !"

"Hee hee, I'm in business, and I will never do business that loses money!" Chen Yuyao had someone figure it out a long time ago. Even if everyone only picks those with the lowest price, the sum will be more than 300 million. If there are a few big heads, more help can be raised for the poor children.

There were many so-called masters among the guests. They held powerful flashlights and pointed at the stone for a while. From their expressionless expressions, Luo Lei came to the conclusion that these people must have learned about stone gambling on the Internet. It's just a temporary hug, far from a real master!

Luo Lei took Wang Qing's hand and said with a smile, "Are you interested in trying your luck?"

Wang Qing shook her head and said, "The water here is too deep, you should come, I don't have the habit of spending money carelessly?"

Luo Lei was stunned, thinking about the scene of visiting the specialty store before, the outfits the two of them were wearing together exceeded [-] yuan. Role model?

Don't we have the yd guy that old guy, just ask him to come forward to see if it's okay, hehe!

After waking up the old guy, that guy impatiently released his sensory ability, muttering: "You can think of it with your toes, if there are good ones here, it would be strange... Wait, rub, there are really good ones! Kid, hurry up, the last one is the sixth from last, that's a good rock!"

"Good? How good?" Luo Lei didn't take it seriously.

"It's much better than the one you bought for 20 dollars in Rajamont last time!" The old guy said excitedly: "The piece last time was just a top-quality jade, and this one is the legendary jade. Essence, the powerful energy contained in it should not be underestimated, making pendants, jade bracelets and other things can play a role in prolonging life! If it is given to a cultivator, it can help improve strength!"

"Damn it, you're so domineering!" Luo Lei grabbed Wang Qing's little hand and walked over there, heading straight for the booth at the back.

"Have you chosen yet?" Wang Qing asked as she walked.

Luo Lei did not speak, but found the penultimate piece with the fastest speed. It was an irregular stone with a size larger than a basketball, with a brown and blue-gray surface, and there were traces of artificial digging on it, but Unlike some stones that have been opened with windows, there are small pieces of green, which means that someone wanted to open windows on it at the time, but after knocking it off, they found nothing inside, so they gave up.

"Could it be this one?" Wang Qing asked Luo Lei.

"Could it be this one?" Luo Lei asked the old guy. The one next to it looks more similar than this one. It's clearly a worthless broken stone, probably picked up from the side of the road to make up for it.

Moreover, the price of such a large stone is only 3000 yuan, and the one next to it is only one-third the size, because it has a small piece of green on it, and the price is 34500 yuan!

The old guy said unhappily: "When did I lie to you, I am very sure and sure, it is this humble guy! The weight of the jade essence inside is at least one kilogram. If you are lucky, the energy contained in it can directly make you You have become a master in the alchemy stage!"

"Wow Kaka, I sold it!" Luo Lei was about to stretch out his hand when he suddenly noticed a few eyes shot over him. Doesn't it attract everyone's attention?

No, you can't be too strong. If a kid comes to fight for it, and you don't have much money on you, it will be worth the loss if you make others cheaper.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the stone next to him.

Wang Qing put her hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and said, "Let me just say, you are such a smart person, how could you fall in love with a piece of broken stone that is nothing, even if this stone is the cheapest!"

Haha, that's great, even Wang Qing was fooled, Luo Lei knew he had succeeded!Because the eyes of those guys with ulterior motives also fell on the rock he was looking at, so you all rush to raise the price at that time, so I can stir up the flames for you!

Ten minutes later, the host began to call out the numbers of the stones one by one, and those who were not interested were passed directly, and only one person wanted to buy it at the original price, and those with more than two people began to bid.

Finally, when we arrived at the stone priced at 34500, the host shouted, "Number xxxx, is anyone interested?"

Luo Lei was the first to raise his hand to signal.Then, several people also raised their hands, including the man with glasses who parked his sports car in the basement. He is a wealthy second-generation returnee, and his father is a well-known local entrepreneur.

As we all know, young people like Chen Yuyao, and every time they chase each other in public, it's strange that he didn't say a word to Chen Yuyao.

"It seems that there are not a few people who like this stone!" The host still had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Okay, let's start bidding. Just like the previous rules, free bidding, you can add as much as you want at a time!"

Luo Lei was the first to raise his hand: "I offer fifty thousand!"

Since so many people are interested, and everyone wants to save face, they won't be defeated in the first round of bidding. One guy immediately raised his hand and said, "Fifty-five thousand!"

"Fifty-eight thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!" The man with glasses was the last to quote the price.

Luo Lei couldn't help but glanced at him, feeling a sense of danger in his heart for no reason.
