Jin Yutong

Chapter 151 Crazy Stone

The place where Zhu Feng took Chen Ran and the others was Huadu's Wenbo City, an antique street in the old city of Huadu, that is, West Street.

Guo Hai parked his car in the parking lot on the side of the road, got out of the car, and saw Zhu Feng waving at them in front of him. Just as Chen Ran was about to pass by, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"I'll answer the phone, you go first."

After explaining to Guo Hai and Yang Long, Chen Ran turned around and walked to the side of the road.

"Then hurry up."

Guo Hai waved his hand, chatted and laughed with Yang Long and walked towards Zhu Feng.

Chen Ran took out his mobile phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number, but the last time he turned on the mobile phone, he had called from this number once.

"Is it Xiaoran?"

To Chen Ran's surprise, it was Wang Wentao who called.

"Brother Tao, it's you."

Chen Ran was also a little happy when he received Wang Wentao's call. After returning from archaeology, he lost contact with Wang Wentao. He asked Wang Zhiqing about it. Wang Zhiqing said that Wang Wentao had been promoted and was transferred, and he didn't know the contact information.

"Brother, I finally got in touch with you. Where are you now? Are you in Zhongdu?"

Wang Wentao was very happy to contact Chen Ran. In Guixiongling, Chen Ran saved his life several times. If it wasn't for Chen Ran, how could he get out of Guixiongling? The most important thing is that the two formed a lifelong friendship in Guixiong Ridge.

"Brother Tao, I'm in Huadu now..."

"Well, that's fine, call me when you get back to school, we two brothers should have a good drink."

Hanging up Wang Wentao's phone, Chen Ran walked towards Guo Hai and the others. When he came, Zhu Feng only brought four bodyguards, and now there are a pair of twin beauties and a fat man around 40 years old. Wait here for them.

"Brother Chen, come, let me introduce you. This is Master Zhou..." After Chen Ran walked over, Zhu Feng immediately introduced the fat man to Chen Ran with a smile. The fat man's surname was Zhou, whom Zhu Feng called As a stone gambling consultant, it should be someone who is more experienced in stone gambling.

Chen Ran didn't know Master Zhou well, so he just nodded his head as a greeting, but Master Zhou looked at Chen Ran more, but he could see that among the three young people in front of him, Zhu Feng valued Chen Ran the most. Natural young people.

For the other two young people, Zhu Feng's attitude was more casual, but this one in front of him was different, as if he had a little more respect.

After introducing each other, a group of people entered the Wenbo City under the leadership of Zhu Feng.

Huadu has two major antique cities, Wenbo City is one of them, and at this stage, Huadu is still holding the peony exhibition, so the Wenbo City is extremely lively, people come and go, and walking on the road seems a bit crowded Fortunately, Zhu Feng's bodyguards cleared the way, so Chen Ran and the others left quickly.

Chen Ran and the others did not wander around the Antique City, but directly entered the basement level of the Wenbo City under the leadership of Zhu Feng.

At this level, the shops on both sides are basically jade shops and the like, but after a few turns, a street appeared. On this street, every shop has a large open space, or directly Shelves in front of the door.

On the shelves are scattered large and small stones. These stones are as big as a wheel, and the small ones are only the size of a fist. Some are placed on the shelves, and some are directly on the ground in the hall. Heaps, stacked in piles.

"It's this kind of black stone that bet on stones." Guo Hai was a little dumbfounded looking at the hot scene in front of him.

Yang Long answered with a smile: "Stupid, it's not called a stone, it's jadeite 'hair' material, it's called a rough stone, don't you understand, don't think that stones are inconspicuous, they are all expensive."

Guo Hai stared: "You know a lot, so why don't you talk about the gambling method of stone betting."

Yang Long was stunned all of a sudden, and said with a sneer: "Of course betting on stones is betting on stones."

Zhu Feng laughed grinningly, and Master Zhou couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. Chen Ran gave them an annoyed look, signaling them not to be ashamed and conspicuous here.

Yang Long knew about gambling with stones, but he really couldn't tell him how to gamble. In fact, there are quite a few people who know about gambling with stones. "Stone" can be said to let everyone know about betting on stones, but only those in the industry know how to bet.

As a jade carver, Chen Ran is half an insider, so he knows a little bit about it.

What exactly is gambling stone?

Outsiders may not understand that betting on stones has existed since ancient times, but the earliest bet was Hetian jade.The stone gambling we are talking about now often refers to the stone gambling in Myanmar, mainly betting on whether there is jade in the ore.

Since the surface of the gravel is generally covered by a layer of weathered leather, the interior cannot be seen. People can only infer whether there is high-quality jadeite inside the gravel based on the characteristics of the leather and the artificial openings in the local area.

This makes it very difficult to identify the quality of jadeite raw materials in the jadeite raw material transaction.This kind of transaction is quite like gambling, so people call the raw material of jadeite with skin as gambling materials or goods, and this kind of business behavior is also called stone gambling.

Since it is a gamble, no one is sure of winning; even seasoned experts will inevitably be mistaken, which is quite risky.However, the excitement of gambling, the mystery of gambling and the joy of gambling have driven many people to engage in the gambling industry.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for someone to become rich overnight from a gangster on the street and become a millionaire in a blink of an eye;

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade. This is the place that best reflects heaven and hell. As the saying goes, "gambling with stones is like gambling with life". Almost everyone in the industry describes gambling with stones like this. If you make money, you become rich overnight; if you lose your bet, you lose everything, and because the whole process is too exciting and tense, there are not a few people who go crazy every year because of betting on stones.

"It's gone up! The bet has gone up..."

Suddenly, a shout of excitement came from a store that Chen Ran and the others passed by. Before Chen Ran could react, he saw the pedestrians in the corridor rush towards the store as if they were crazy. In the past, shouting while running, if Zhu Feng's bodyguards were not there, Chen Ran and the others would have been squeezed to nowhere by the crowd.

This scene has to make people sigh with emotion, no wonder everyone said that gambling on stones is actually, crazy buying, crazy selling, crazy waiting.

It seems so.

Out of curiosity, Guo Hai and Yang Long wanted to run over to watch, but they were stopped by Zhu Feng: "Oh, brothers, I said let's not join in the fun. In these small shops, even if The bet is going up, but you can't go anywhere, go, follow my brother, my brother will take you to the store in front, that store really has good goods, they are all first-hand goods from Yunnan, or old-fashioned goods, bah, You said, why do I tell you this, isn't this playing the piano with a cow?"

Guo Hai and Yang Long laughed and followed Zhu Feng, and Chen Ran also followed Zhu Feng, watching the small shops on both sides while walking.

After turning left and turning right, you came to the store that Zhu Feng said. This store is called Qishifang. The storefront is quite large. The store is the largest in this market, and the owner is also from Myanmar, and his family is quite well-known there. Families like them are called the Gambling Stone Family.

Entering the store, there are quite a few people picking rough stones in the store, but it seems very quiet. Even if several people are picking together, they talk in whispers. It feels very formal, unlike the one over there, like a vegetable market. land.

When you enter the store, you can see that the rough stones in this store are divided into three grades. One kind is like an exhibition, not to mention placed on the counter, and separated by glass, so that people can only see it. Looking through the glass, this kind of rough stone is clearly marked with a price, and its appearance is relatively good. Most of the stones that have been wiped off the skin and opened the skylight have already seen green.

From what was said in the book, Chen Ran guessed that this kind of rough stone should be a half-gamble material.

Jadeite rough stone merchants generally do not gamble on stones themselves. Most of them just buy jadeite rough from Myanmar and transport them back to the mainland, and then call all major jewelers or private stone bettors to conduct similar activities. In this kind of auction, the stone is sold directly. As for whether there is emerald in the stone, they don't care, what they earn is the price difference.

However, generally experienced jadeite rough merchants will conduct a preliminary analysis on some jadeite roughs with better performance before auctioning. A skylight, or a thin cut with a knife.

The same piece of rough jadeite, if it is sold in its entirety, the base price may be set at 50 million at most. ', the starting price of this rough stone may have to rise to at least 500 million, even if it is tens of millions, it is not impossible, it just depends on the performance of the surface.

Generally speaking, the better the performance of the material, the greater the possibility of greening.

Therefore, although the jadeite rough merchants themselves do not gamble with stones, they often use this method of preliminary understanding to maximize their own interests.Often, as long as a few pieces of good material appear in the initial solution, the cost of the entire batch of rough stones may be fully recovered from these few pieces of material.

Of course, the initial solution also has to bear certain risks. After all, if you wipe out green, the reserve price of this rough stone will skyrocket, but if you can’t wipe out anything, it may also increase the value of this rough stone. fall.

Therefore, the initial interpretation of rough stones is a difficult job that requires experience and skills, and ordinary people can’t do it at all. The owner of this shop is from Myanmar, and they are all professionals in this area. Naturally, there is no shortage of such Strength.

This kind of material that has been solved for the first time is called half bet.

Because Guo Hai and Yang Long didn't know much about gambling stones, Master Zhou was kind, and while watching, he introduced them. The materials in the counter were half gambling materials, And the stone on the shelf on the left is the material of the whole bet. The price of the material of the bet is generally lower than that of the half bet, but some are higher than that of the half bet. It depends on how good the material of the bet is. up.

In addition to the half-made materials on the counter and the full-made materials on the cabinet, there is also a large pile of materials piled up on the right. These materials must be materials that are not very good at first glance. The possibility is very small.

"This stone betting is actually an industry where ten bets and nine loses. Don't look at the emerald wool here. If you cut them all, it will be one-tenth of the original stone wool. The green that will come out of green, I am afraid that there is not even one-tenth of the high-grade green, at most it is the mid-range green, and the high-end green is getting less and less now, but, speaking of it, the stone gambling world has always been Tell the good and not the bad, what you have heard, there are actually very few stories about someone getting rich overnight, on the contrary, there are too many stories about losing their families, so you must read more, listen more, and don’t Do whatever you want!"

Before Master Zhou left, he reminded Chen Ran and the others.

"Brothers, you watch first, I'll go over there and have a look..."

Zhu Feng greeted Chen Ran, Guo Hai, Yang Long and the others with a smile, and led Master Zhou and others to the left side of the hall, where all the gambling materials were made.

Guo Hai and Yang Long couldn't bear it anymore, they ran around to watch, but Chen Ran didn't care about them. More than a million, his little money is enough to play the cheaper ones once, and he can't afford to play the slightly more expensive ones.

While observing, Chen Ran remembered his own energy aperture. He wondered if he could detect anything. He detected it, but there was no response.

After getting such a result, Chen Ran was not disappointed, but instead smiled dumbly. He really thought that his supernatural power was omnipotent... After he stopped thinking about it, Chen Ran calmed down, and based on the knowledge he read in the book and The materials in front of him corroborate each other, and this has almost become his habit. It is always good to learn more things.

While observing, he walked forward, and soon, he came to the inner side of the hall.

On the inside of the hall, there are quite a few people looking at woolen materials. They are in groups of three or five, with different shapes and postures. When Chen Ran was observing and walking, two or three people happened to come over, and Chen Ran Had a face-to-face meeting.

Seeing these three people, Chen Ran's expression changed immediately, and then he narrowed his eyes.

When Chen Ran saw these three people, these three people also saw Chen Ran, and the person in charge burst into laughter, and greeted Chen Ran: "Oh, it's true that we don't meet each other in life, I didn't expect that classmate Chen is now I also started playing stone gambling..."
