Portable Taoyuan Space

"How should I put it, I have important uses for jade." Lin Xiao scratched his head and scratched his ears, a little confused. After all, things like the Spiritual Heart Formation are too shocking. Lin Xiao will tell others only after the spiritual heart array is actually set up, and the spiritual heart array is really as magical as described.

"Looking at your appearance, I won't ask any more." Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitation, Chen Chong simply stopped asking about his surname, and he also knew that Lin Xiaoshen's mysterious appearance definitely didn't want to be revealed.

"Third brother, do you know that the glass jadeite market is priceless?" Chen Chong asked seriously.

"Really? If you have money, you can't buy it?" Lin Xiao, who didn't know much about jadeite, shook his head instantly.

"Phew~~, glass jadeite, each piece is a signboard of a jade shop, and the demand for this kind of high-end jadeite is basically more than the supply." Chen Chong took a deep breath, and he didn't understand Lin Xiao at all. Xiaobai in the jade world explained little by little what he knew.

"So popular?" Lin Xiao opened his eyes wide.

"It's not about selling well, let me analyze it." Chen Chong shook his head feebly, completely speechless to Lin Xiao.

"In 00, compared with other jades, jadeite was still the price of cabbage at that time, and colorless jadeite made of glass was something that no one wanted. Only green jadeite was popular."

"But with some people's hype, the price of jade has risen in a straight line, and the price has risen several times every year. In the end, the price has even increased by more than ten times. In the past two years, a jadeite that was previously abandoned The pendants of colorless glass are at least over [-], not to mention other kinds of glass that are full of green, apple green and other top-quality jade."

"You have to know that the reason why the demand is greater than the supply is because the soaring price of jade has caused many people to start collecting and waiting for its appreciation. All of these collectors are worth at least hundreds of millions. In this way, most The high-quality jade has entered their hands, and jade shops or jewelry companies are the real big heads. Their demand for top-quality jade has almost reached a crazy state. High-end jade represents a jewelry company and jade shop. If there is a treasure in the store, the business will be at least [-]% better."

"Most jewelry companies store jadeite, so as not to be unable to get something out when they receive an order, which will damage their reputation, especially those large jewelry companies, who are more eager for high-end jadeite." Chen Chong said a lot in one breath.

"Okay, basically I've finished talking, and that's about it." Chen Chong picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"So, it's hard to buy glass jadeite?" Lin Xiao only understood one meaning, that is, glass jade is very gunslinger now.

"It also depends on how much jade you need. If it's an ordinary pendant or ring, it's easy to handle. If it's a bracelet, it's usually at least 500 million." Chen Chong was also obsessed with jade for a while. I still know a thing or two about the price.

"This... I want the size of a fist." Lin Xiao said weakly.

"What?" Chen Chong thought he heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but ask back.

"Uh... I mean, I need a fist-sized glass jadeite." As a last resort, Lin Xiao could only repeat it again.

"Are you okay? Fist-sized glass species, are you kidding me?" Chen Chong reached out to touch Lin Xiao's forehead to see if he had a fever.

"Of course you are not sick, you are sick." Lin Xiao avoided Chen Chong's hand and rolled his eyes.

Li Shu and Zhao Xing on the side were a bit bored, they really didn't have much research on jadeite, so they could only listen to it from the sidelines.

"Who would sell fist-sized glass jadeite? As long as it is divided, there are several pairs of bracelets that can be carved. With some scraps, many pairs of pendants and rings can be made." Chen Chong complained helplessly.

"Is there really no way to get it?" Lin Xiao scratched his hair.

"Not necessarily, unless you go to gamble on stones, or go to the public market of betting on stones to buy them, otherwise there is no other way." Chen Chong said weakly.

"That's fine, as long as there is a place to sell it." Lin Xiao has no idea about this, since he knows that there is a place to sell it.

"Third brother, don't you know that every public offering will be watched by a professional jewelry company? If you want to collect jadeite in the public offering, if you don't have enough funds, you won't be able to get it. You have to think about it, glass The emeralds planted are the size of a fist, and a piece is worth tens of millions, some even hundreds of millions." Chen Chong could only say helplessly to Lin Xiao's idiot.

"This..." Lin Xiao felt a little guilty when he heard the price. Although he was worth hundreds of millions, but the price of a stone was so high, it was really difficult for him to ask for 49 yuan.

"Third, to be honest, do you want a lot? Not one or two." From Lin Xiao's expression, Chen Chong could also deduce that Lin Xiao didn't need one or two jadeites.

"This one is not too much, it only costs 49 yuan." Lin Xiao rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly.

"what."

"49 yuan?"

Two shocking roars sounded, the first one was from Chen Chong, and the second one was from Li Shu.

Although Zhao Xing didn't shout, his stunned expression told others that he was also shocked.

Even if Li Shu and Zhao Xing do not understand, they also understand the concept of 49 yuan, at least it is priceless. If it is converted into cash, based on an average of 5000 million yuan per yuan, it is at least about [-] million yuan. Start a huge company.

"I'm talking about third child, do you think glass jadeite is a wholesale roadside handicraft?" Chen Chong looked at Lin Xiao as if he was looking at a madman.

"Uh, you don't need to bark so loudly." Lin Xiao rubbed his nose and said in embarrassment.

"Don't change the subject, let me ask you, what do you think, third child, why do you want so many jadeites?" Chen Chong continued to ask.

"Well, now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it anymore." Lin Xiao also knew that if he didn't tell the reason why he came, I'm afraid Chen Chong would not continue to give him advice.

At the moment, Lin Xiao dictated to the three brothers how he was trapped and then accidentally obtained the Spiritual Heart Formation.

"I said third brother, are you really not sick?" Come on, now even Li Shu suspects that Lin Xiaode is sick, and you think you are filming a TV series.

"That's right, third child, you don't have delusions, do you? Believe in all this stuff? I used to be stupid in reading, but I was really stupid first." Zhao Xing also had a look of disbelief.

"What I said is true." Lin Xiao said helplessly.

"Okay, even if what you said is true, but this so-called formation is only found in novels and TV dramas. In reality, it is simply a lie. Third, how can you believe this." Chen Chong didn't understand.

"That's right, isn't this an obvious thing? Who has ever heard of emeralds needed to set up an formation? Isn't it all about spirit stones in novels?" After Zhao Xing got married, he went to read many novels.

"I... hey." No matter what Lin Xiao explained, the three just didn't believe it.

"Forget it, boss, how can I get a fist-sized jadeite? Even if it is fake, the jadeite will not depreciate in the near future." Lin Xiao ignored the disbelief of several people. The heart array is ready.

"Do you really want to get that 49 fist-sized glass jadeite?" Chen Chong asked solemnly.

"Yes, I'm sure." Lin Xiao nodded without hesitation.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the three of them could only let it go. Since Lin Xiao was so resolute, they had no choice but to bury a small seed in their hearts. Perhaps, as Lin Xiao said, there is nothing in this world. Is there a so-called formation?

The three of them are all atheists. Even a year ago, when Lin Xiao asked them to commit suicide, he thought it was just ancient martial arts and the like. It was completely unimaginable for formations, and they could all be classified as myths.

With Lin Xiao's insistence, Chen Chong finally helped Lin Xiao analyze it.

"Third brother, according to your current assets, you can't afford to buy so much jadeite. Since you can't afford it, there is only another way."

"What way?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"Stone gambling." Chen Chong spit out two words.

"Stone gambling?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's gambling with stones." Chen Chong nodded.

"What is gambling stone?" Lin Xiao has no idea about gambling stone.

"As the saying goes, it's hard for an immortal to break a stone. This stone is the rough jadeite." Chen Chong explained slowly.

"Emerald betting stone or betting goods means that when the jadeite is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know whether it is good or bad."

"Emerald betting stones, the quality of which can only be known after cutting is called emerald betting stones. Where you leave the emerald mines, the betting rate is only one ten-thousandth (referring to the pigment), and the chances of betting in the emerald mines are much higher. A lot. Gambling up a fortune and getting rich overnight, but most of them end in failure.”

"That is to say, the risk of betting on stones is very high. Basically, nine out of ten bets lose."

"One sword in heaven and one sword in hell. This is the most common situation in stone gambling. The stone bought at a high price does not cut out any emerald at all, which is enough to drive many people crazy."

"Since the third child doesn't have the funds, this is the only way to go, but the risk is too high, so I don't support it." Chen Chong pointed out the only way.

"Stone gambling?" Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

The three of Chen Chong didn't bother Lin Xiao, they sat there quietly, drinking tea, waiting for Lin Xiao to recover.

Li Shu and Zhao Xing had never been in contact with gambling stones, and they didn't know the dangers involved, so naturally they wouldn't open their mouths.

"Boss, I've decided, let's go and have a look." In the end, Lin Xiao was no match for the spirit of the Spiritual Formation.

"Alright, I'll go with you when the time comes." Seeing that Lin Xiao had made up his mind, Chen Chong didn't stop him. He secretly decided in his heart that after seeing those crazy gamblers at the scene, he would try to persuade Lin Xiao more. , Maybe it will make Lin Xiao retreat.

"Hey, I'm going too." Seeing such a fun event, Li Shu certainly didn't want to miss it, so he hurriedly interjected.

"Count me in." Zhao Xing then said.

"Don't go to work anymore." Chen Chong said strangely.

"What kind of class do you have? Just ask for two more days. It would be a pity if you miss such a fun thing." Li Shu looked indifferent.

Zhao Xing nodded in agreement, indicating that he was the same as Li Shu.

"Alright, we'll be together when the time comes." Seeing that both of them said the same thing, Chen Chong naturally had no objection.

"Boss, where is the gambling stone?" Lin Xiao asked.

"We have stone gambling places in city H, but they are all small stone gambling venues. You can't find the glass species you want at all, unless you are really lucky, but first I will take you to experience it and understand What's the matter with gambling on stones." Chen Chong replied.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Chen Chong glanced at Li Shu angrily.

"Prepare first, third child, you should go online and read more information about jadeite and betting stones. If you really want to bet on stones, you must at least have some theoretical knowledge first." Chen Chong instructed.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look first." Lin Xiao felt that what Chen Chong said was right, nodded with the three brothers, got up and walked upstairs to the study.

About an hour later, Lin Xiao also came down from the downstairs. He looked through many materials on the Internet, and basically recorded them in his mind.

After Lin Xiao and Luo Qingya talked, they embarked on the journey to City H with the three brothers.

Under the leadership of Chen Chong, the four of them went straight to the famous antique street in H City.

"Isn't this an antique street? Boss, why did you bring us here, to buy antiques?" After Li Shu got out of the car, he looked around and knew where it was.

"Who said I want to buy antiques, don't talk nonsense, come with me." Chen Chong glanced at Li Shu speechlessly.

"Oh, it's fierce." Li Shu muttered.

Under the leadership of Chen Chong, several people directly entered the antique street. Chen Chong ignored those antique shops and walked directly into a place called Yuxuan Pavilion.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, come here, welcome." The clerk in the store saw Chen Chong, and his eyes were shining to greet him.

"Xiao Dong, where's your boss?" Chen Chong looked like a regular customer, even the shop assistants knew their names.

"Our boss is in the backyard, you can go directly there." Xiao Dong Xian said courteously.

"Okay, thank you very much." Chen Chong walked directly towards the backyard.

Lin Xiao and the others followed Chen Chong curiously, not knowing what Chen Chong was doing near this shop.

"Chen Shaolai, the hospitality is not good, and I am far away from welcoming you." After entering, Lin Xiao found many people there, and one of them, who looked like the boss, rushed up to meet him.

"Boss Zhou, you're too out of touch. Do you have any good products recently?" Chen Chong smiled and shook his hand, expressing that he didn't care.

"It's really fate. I just arrived in a batch, and you came, Young Master Chen." Boss Zhou glanced at Lin Xiao and the three behind Chen Chong, and said calmly.

"Oh! It seems that I came at the right time." Chen Chong raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, it means that Young Master Chen has a relationship with them." Boss Zhou flattered him.

"Okay, don't gossip, let's take a look first." Chen Chong interrupted Boss Zhou with a smile.

"Okay, this way please." Boss Zhou led the way ahead.

"Oh, Fatty Zhou, today's business is really booming, are you here again?" Boss Zhou had just brought Chen Chong and the others over, when someone shouted loudly.

"Everywhere, everyone will meet you." Boss Zhou said with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, come to my place, don't be restrained, just call me Fatty Zhou." Fatty Zhou said to Lin Xiao and the three of them who were unfamiliar.

"Boss Zhou is polite." Lin Xiao nodded lightly, and Li Shu and Zhao Xing also said hello.

"Third son, this is the largest stone gambling field in city H. The owner here is Zhou Cheng, and he doesn't deceive people very much. Unlike many small venues that use fake gambling stones to fool others, it is considered a good reputation." The quarry." Chen Chong explained.

"Boss, seeing that you are so familiar, you should have played a lot." Li Shu said with a smile on the side, the guys here are so familiar with Chen Chong, so this needs to be considered.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Learn from the second child. Silence is golden." Chen Chong curled his lips.

"Second brother is boring. Silence is golden. You think too noble of him." Li Shu argued unconvinced.

"What did you say?" Zhao Xing immediately put his eyes on Li Shu.

This is good, Zhao Xing, who was watching the show, saw the flames of war suddenly burning on him, so he was not silent, and stared at Li Shu viciously.

Under the fierce eyes of Chen Chong and Zhao Xing, Li Shu retreated instantly and hid behind Lin Xiao.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Seeing Li Shu admitting defeat, Chen Chong didn't bother him anymore, and led the three of them towards the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, the light dimmed a lot in an instant. Lin Xiao found that there were already more than a dozen people in the warehouse picking stones, and each of them held a strong flashlight in their hands.

Chen Chong walked to the table, picked up four strong flashlights, and distributed them to several people.

"Generally small quarries pick stones in dimly lit warehouses, and some quarries don't even provide strong flashlights, which is simply cheating." Chen Chong said while walking.

"Boss, how much money have you lost?" Suddenly, Li Shu said something.

"Not much, just a few million..." Chen Chong answered casually, suddenly felt wrong, what was wrong with asking, why did he suddenly ask this.

"Damn, fourth child, are you going to die?" Chen Chong gave Li Shu a hard look. "Local tyrant, it's only a few million." Li Shu secretly took two steps back in Lin Xiao's direction, and praised with thumbs up.

Li Shu's action seemed to be a compliment, but in fact it was a metaphor that Chen Chong lost so much money, which was enough for many people to live a lifetime. It was full of irony, and it really made Chen Chong very angry.

While Chen Chong was thinking about how to teach Li Shu a lesson, Lin Xiao felt a special energy fluctuation.

It's a pity that this energy fluctuation is very small, and it is only fleeting. When I perceive it again, I can't feel it at all, and I think it is my own illusion.

"How about it? It's not easy to bet on stones. Do you see what's coming?" Seeing Lin Xiao squatting down to pick out stones, Chen Chong asked.

"Every stone is similar, and it looks the same. Is there really emerald inside?" Seeing that it is similar to the stones on the mountain outside, Lin Xiao asked a little puzzled.

"That's why it's said that it's hard for a god to break an inch of jade. It's mainly because of this. If you don't believe it, go and see other people cut stones first." Chen Chong saw that there were already people gathered in the northwest direction, so he knew that someone might want to cut stones on the spot, so he hurriedly took The three of them went over. (To be continued.)
