Both money and sex

This is a fist-sized stone, numbered 57. It looks no different from ordinary stones, and there is no green on the surface, but Luo Ping knows that in such a small stone, there is extremely high-purity emerald. It is not yet known whether it is the top-grade jadeite that is not a glass species.

Luo Ping secretly wrote down its serial number, and put it into the stone pile.

"Luo Ping, help me look at this." Song Yuying also found a stone, numbered 79, and handed it to Luo Ping.Luo Ping took it casually, a little surprised in his heart, he knew from the feeling in his hand that this piece was also quite good, only a little worse than the one he picked.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuying's luck was also good. Luo Ping smiled and exchanged the stone for her, jokingly said, "Sister Song, if you can photograph this stone, you will be a millionaire."

"Really!" Song Yuying was overjoyed when she heard the words, and continued to rummage through the pile of stones. After a while, she found a large pile of broken stones for Luo Ping to look at.

Luo Ping looked at them one by one, and said dumbfoundedly, "Sister Song, if you buy all of these, then we will have to pay for our return home ticket."

Half an hour passed quickly, and a group of people retreated from the pile of stones. The middle-aged man who had just shouted began to report one by one, and stones were carried in front of him.

There was fierce competition for almost every piece of rough stone, and the price increased step by step, from a few million to tens of millions. From the shock at the beginning to the numbness at the end, Luo Ping couldn't help but look at the people around him who were blushing and neck thick. Emotion.

The large stones were quickly snapped up by everyone. Among them, stones No. 29, 43, and 68 fetched high prices, especially stone No. 68. Several big jewelers sold one after another. After a fierce competition, In the end, Guo Shaoan won the auction at a price of 1000 million yuan.

Fan Shuiling took a photo of the No. 29 stone. Seeing her happy face, this stone should be good.Luo Ping congratulated her with a smile, and took the opportunity to pat the huge stone weighing almost two hundred kilograms with his right hand.Judging from the feeling in the hand, there is jade in this piece of wool, and it is rich in wealth, so it should be quite good.

"Xiao Luo, if you and Sister Song are interested in anything, just tell me directly, and I will take pictures for you."

Fan Shuiling speaks quickly, without pretentiousness or affectation, and the tone of his speech makes people feel disgusted.Luo Ping smiled and said, "Sister Song and I came here mainly for fun, and I can't compare to Sister Fan, you are rich and powerful, just picked a few small materials, if no one competes with us, just buy them and play."

These words were clear, and Fan Shuiling certainly didn't take it to heart. From her eyesight, Luo Ping looked quite ordinary, but judging by Song Yuying's attitude towards him, she would definitely not be an ordinary person. up.

She has been with Niu Ping'an for ten years, so of course she knows the strength of the Song family in Jiangcheng's official and business circles, and her understanding of Song Yuying is even higher than that of ordinary people.She firmly believed that if Song Yuying wanted to take pictures of those popular stones just now, it would definitely not be their turn, let alone that Hong Kong businessman.

Fan Shuiling smiled and stopped talking.After such a round of auctions, more than half of the jewelers in the courtyard left, and most of the remaining ones failed to gain anything in the auction just now, so they could only hope for the remaining small materials.

Guo Shaoan took a photo of the No. 68 stone and did not leave. Instead, he leaned over and said with a flattering smile, "Miss Song, which piece do you value, I will help you take a photo."

Song Yuying was chatting and laughing with Luo Ping at first, but when he disturbed her like this, she felt sullen in her heart, "If I fancy your No. 68 stone, will you give it to me too?"

Guo Shaoan was stunned, and suddenly saw a sneer at the corner of Luo Ping's mouth, and said in a flash, "Of course, as long as Ms. Song says a word, it's okay to give you my piece of material. I think it's okay to be able to communicate with such an honorable person as Ms. Song." Having friends is what many people dream of.”

"No."

Song Yuying's words were decisive, cold and heartless.Guo Shao'an's face turns blue and turns white. He has grown so big, and no woman has ever rejected him like this.Not only did it not dispel his enthusiasm, but it aroused his fighting spirit. He secretly decided that he must deal with this proud woman.

The next thing went smoothly. Song Yuying bought the No. 58 wool at a price of 79, and Luo Ping also bought the No. 67 stone at a price of 57.

There was a stone-interpreting machine next to the auction house. Song Yuying was anxious to know if there was any jade in her piece of material, so she quickly asked Luo Ping to help her carry the stone to the stone-interpreting machine.

"Sister Song, don't blame me if you lose your bet!" Luo Ping continued to tease Song Yuying.

"I'll sell you to Myanmar if I break down. I heard that many mining factories over there need a young and strong guy like you. Maybe you can sell them for a good price, giggling." Song Yuying was in a good mood, and her laughter was exceptional. hearty.

Guo Shao'an, who was standing in the distance, was agitated and slowly approached.

Merchants who have photographed a large piece of wool will usually ship it back to dissect the stone, and there are not many people who dissect the stone on the spot.One is to worry about losing face if the bet goes down, and the other is that if the bet goes up, it will not be worth the loss if it arouses coveted people.Tengchong is connected to Myanmar in the west, and the public security has always been not very good. If there is something wrong with the woolen materials during transportation, they will lose a lot of money.Therefore, those who dissect stones on the spot are basically individual tourists who have photographed small pieces of wool.

When Luo Ping and the others came over, there happened to be a Cantonese man interpreting stones in front of him.The number of his piece of wool is No. 88, and it weighs about five or six kilograms. The stone skin on the outside is yellowish brown. After pouring water, it turns yellowish with green. If you shine it with a flashlight, you can see a touch of green coming out of it.

Luo Ping remembers that the Cantonese bought this piece of wool after a fierce competition and paid a high price of 280 million.Judging by his complacent look, he seems quite confident.

The auction house has a teacher who has been doing stone work for many years to help him. The Cantonese is in his forties. From his tone, it seems that he has been gambling with stones for many years and is quite good at stone work. He did not ask the people in the auction house to help him. , but he held the piece of wool and put it on the stone machine.

I saw him holding the handle of the knife, aiming at the white line drawn in advance, and cut it neatly.

"collapsed!"

A sharp-eyed person among the onlookers saw that the cut stone surface was gray and white without any green, and shouted out on the spot.

A thin layer of beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Cantonese in an instant, and he continued to cut several times on the remaining stone, but still did not see any green color, his face suddenly turned ashen, and the whole person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Luo Ping and Song Yuying looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Just a few times, 280 million was in vain. Betting on stones is really not something ordinary people can afford.

It was Luo Ping's turn. Luo Ping was about to go up with his piece of wool, but Song Yuying held him back.

"Fix me first, it doesn't matter if you break down."

Luo Ping picked up her piece, smiled and said, "It's okay, if it really breaks down, I'll accompany you by myself."

Song Yuying's rough stone weighs about two kilograms. There is no green color on the skin, and the color is dull and dark yellow.Luo Ping directly handed it over to the teacher in charge of Jieshi, and let him take full responsibility.

"You don't draw the root line?" asked the old master.

"Hehe, you are a professional, help me figure out how to draw." Luo Ping smiled quite casually, but in fact he didn't know what was going on in this stone.

The master looked at it carefully for a while, and suggested to Luo Ping not to remove it first, but to wipe it first.

The so-called "immortals can't break an inch of jade", rubbing stones is to rub a few small holes in selected places on the surface of the stone to see the situation under the surface.Generally speaking, when the structure inside the rough stone cannot be seen, this method will be chosen, and the effect is good and safe.Because the part is not identified and cut with a knife, the green "solution" will run away, and it is easy to lose the bet.

After listening to the master's introduction, Luo Ping felt that what he said was reasonable and agreed to the plan.The old master found tools, carefully selected a few places, and wiped them carefully a few times.After pouring it with clean water, a touch of breathtaking greenness will soon be revealed.

"Up, up!"

Some onlookers yelled, and as the area that the master wiped away became wider and wider, the number of such yells increased, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

"Little brother, I offer 100 million, how about you give me this piece of material?"

"I'll pay 110 million."

Quotations came one after another, and the teacher who rubbed the stone seemed a little excited. He looked up at Luo Ping and asked him if he wanted to continue rubbing.

Of course Luo Ping knew what he meant. If it continued, it might go down, or it might go up. But if you stop now and change hands of this rough stone, you can make a small profit.

Luo Ping turned his head to look at Song Yuying, only to see that she was smiling, which meant that she had given herself full power to decide.

To be on the safe side, Luo Ping harvested stones from his master, activated his treasure hunting skills, and carefully identified them.He stroked lightly on the stone surface, not letting go in every direction.Carefully distinguish the position of the emerald in the stone from the feeling in the hand.Finally, he picked up the chalk next to him and lightly drew a line on the stone.

"Master, you can untie it along this line... Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

The old master who had been watching him was puzzled. He had never seen him look at the stone like this. He didn't water it or use a flashlight, but just touched it with his hand and drew the line.

But he can't control that much, he can solve it as the guest asks him to do, and it has nothing to do with him if he collapses.

The line drawn by Luo Ping was right in the middle of the stone, and it could be split in half with a single stroke.

"Playing the piano randomly, how can there be such a stone solution. If Lu is broken with a knife, I don't think he has a place to cry."

"Young man, 130 million, just let me forget it, you will hurt this piece of material if you mess around like this."

Luo Ping ignored the noise next to him, and nodded towards the old master, signaling him to continue.

"Crack!"

After a sharp cutting sound, the stone was split in two, and the two petals, which were about the same size, rolled on the ground and lay there quietly.
