Chapter 410 Walnuts Have Cliques

"Well, I admit that you have a point."

Luo Tian is also a smart person. After thinking about it for a while, he understood Fang Ming's thoughts. He had to admit that Fang Ming's statement was very reasonable.The fundamental purpose of gambling is to obtain the maximum profit with the minimum amount of money, and the walnuts at the stall just now obviously cannot achieve this purpose-the walnuts at those times looked very good, but it was precisely because of this that those The price of walnuts is also quite high, so there is no value in gambling.

"Come on, let's go look elsewhere."

Fang Ming walked forward with big strides, but after looking at several stalls, he didn't have the urge to make a move. The reason is actually the same. Those walnuts are a little too normal, and the price immediately increased. in any sense.

After wandering around for nearly an hour and looking at a dozen or so stalls, Fang Ming still didn't make a move, and at the end he ran into Ma Laoer and the others.

"Didn't you like it?"

Seeing that Fang Ming was still empty-handed, he knew that there must be nothing to gain.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said: "I read some, but there is nothing to bet on. They are all walnuts that you know are good at first glance. This kind of gambling is really not very interesting."

In Fang Ming's eyes, such walnuts are like those half-opened jade wool. You can basically see whether there is jade in it. The difference is that there is more or less jade. This kind of gambling is safe. But it's not exciting at all, and there's no way to buy the best things with the least money-if you play like this, it's better to go to the store to buy those opened and plated walnuts, which can be carefully identified , Expensive is a bit more expensive, but the victory is foolproof!

"Oh? It seems that we have the same idea, so let me take you to a place where there may be what you want."

Ma Laoer thought for a while, but he thought of a place, and after looking around, he found that there was nothing he liked, so he might as well go to that place with Fang Ming to try his luck.

"it is good!"

Fang Ming knew that he would have no chance here. The current stall owners are not fools. They are also playing with walnuts while selling walnuts. Could it be that they still can't tell the good stuff?If you can tell, how can you ask a very low price?

Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be any gains if you continue here. It is better to follow Ma Laoer to the place he mentioned and see if there is any gain.

Ma Laoer took Fang Ming and left the small street. After walking for about twenty minutes, he turned into a small alley and pushed open a very old wooden door when he reached the bottom.

After walking in, Fang Ming found a small yard behind the door, but nothing was planted in the yard, it was bare.

Ma Laoer didn't speak either, and continued to walk in, pushed open the door of the house behind the yard, and a statement came from inside.

"Business has been good in the past year, and the number of people playing walnuts has increased."

"Yeah, I feel the same way."

"This is a good thing. If there are more people playing, the market will be better and our business will be better. Naturally, we will earn more."

"Ha! Of course, it's just that now that there are more people playing, good walnuts are not so easy to find."

"That's true! So now, as long as they are good walnuts, they don't have to worry about selling them, even if the price is a little higher."

"I'm not afraid of being tall? There's nothing wrong with being taller. Just the day before yesterday, I had a pair of lion heads, which were still new walnuts. I only played with them for a few days, and there was no shadow of color, let alone patina. Leng bought it for someone. Originally, I wanted to sell it for 10 yuan after the game was almost finished, but do you know how much I sold it in the end?"

"How much? One million?"

"What 15, 30! Grandma's, this money is really not money for those rich people!"

"Wow, isn't it? 30? Wouldn't that make a lot of money? That's a treat!"

……

As soon as Fang Ming heard this, he knew that the group of people in front of him were all walnut players. The only purpose of gathering here at this time was of course walnuts. Is this the place to bet on walnuts?

So many people gathered here, could it be that they wanted to make something like a small auction?
Ma Lao Er obviously has a very high status in the group, so when he walked in, almost everyone greeted him, but their attention was basically concentrated on Fang Ming, because except Fang Ming , the rest of them have met more or less - even Luo Tian is no exception, the only familiar face is Fang Ming.

"Second Ma, why are you here today?"

"You have to be merciful for a while. Since you are here, we won't think about eating meat anymore. It would be nice to have some soup."

Hearing this kind of discussion, Ma Lao Er immediately put a smile on his old face, and said repeatedly, "You guys are definitely flattering me! This is really unfair to me, an old man."

Fang Ming was amused when he heard it.This conversation is actually very interesting.

Although the previous remarks that made Mr. Ma show mercy were made in a joking way, they are not necessarily their true feelings. After all, having an extra master with vicious eyes is just adding a strong opponent. No matter how you look at it It's not a good thing either, so it's simply playing the sad card.

Ma Laoer's response is also very interesting, you ask me to show mercy?This statement is too much to praise me, I don’t have such ability, so please don’t praise me anymore—this is just a superficial statement, because if you only understand it literally, then you must have misunderstood Ma Lao Er, what he really meant was that you should not count on it. Now we are all businessmen. I will still make a move when it is time to make a move. This is a matter of real money, but there is nothing to say Of course, those people also know that Ma Laoer is unlikely to release water because of his own words, but it doesn't cost money to say a word, so what does it matter?

It's all old Jianghu, and these principles are naturally "clear".

The process of politeness is actually the process of confrontation. These things are not experienced, so they probably can't understand what they mean.

After Fang Ming followed Ma Laoer into the hall, he sat down behind him. He didn't know anyone here, so it didn't matter.As for those who looked at him with probing eyes, Fang Ming didn't take it seriously, after all, he was not in the walnut business, and he was really here today just for soy sauce.

"Ah! They are all masters in our field!"

Fang Ming was very calm, but not everyone could be as calm as him. For example, Luo Tian couldn't help Fang Ming muttering as soon as he sat down.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "I don't know any of them, by the way, don't introduce me, I can't remember."

Of course, it’s not that Fang Ming can’t remember. With his memory, he can’t forget his eyes and ears. It’s just that he doesn’t think he will have much contact with the walnut business in the future, so there is no need to understand it too deeply.

However, Fang Ming's words obviously did not dampen Luo Tian's "enthusiasm". He still said enthusiastically: "I have always heard that there is a special place for gambling on walnuts, but I have never been able to enter it. It was really eye-opening.”

"Oh, does it mean that only people with a certain status can come in here?"

After the words were spoken, Fang Ming immediately thought that this might really be the case. No matter what industry he is in, there are actually different circles. This kind of division of circles will make resources skewed to different people and in different areas. Circulation will slowly make the rich richer, and those without it even less. Unless it is a coincidence, it is absolutely difficult for people at the bottom to break out of this circle and enter the upper level.

These people in front of them must be the top group of walnut players. They formed a fixed small circle, and ordinary people had no way to enter it, so as to protect their own interests.

Judging from the current situation, this kind of small auction-style gambling on walnuts is often the place where high-quality walnuts are produced. Of course, those who can participate will lose their fortunes because of this, but some people will make a fortune because of it, but no matter what, All these things happened in this small circle, and it was impossible for others to go bankrupt even if they wanted to.

"Yes, or it needs to be introduced by someone familiar. I have also found some people who hope to be able to come in, but the few people I found did not have this ability. They also came in with great difficulty. Naturally Don't dare take me in."

Luo Tian shook his head, but his face was full of excitement now, no matter what he came in now, if there was the first time, there would be a second time.

The hall is actually not very big, about [-] square meters, and there is a table in the middle of the front. It should be the place where the walnuts will be placed in the auction later, and the rest is placed on the side. chairs, and everyone who comes here sits on these chairs.

Perhaps because it was almost time, a short man walked in, and as soon as he came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Stone, you kid is finally here."

"That's right, why is it so late today?"

"Did you get something good? Tell me, I've been so short of good walnuts lately, I have to get a couple of them tonight."

……

"This man's name is Bai Xintian, Shi Shi is his nickname, and he is also a very important person in the industry."

Luo Tian knew that Fang Ming was not very familiar with the walnut world, so he immediately introduced it to him in a low voice.
