Jianbao life

Chapter 27 The Covenant
It was not convenient for Chu Chen to say anything more about this matter, so he changed the subject and said:

"At least Mr. Liu has experienced a lot in the stone gambling industry after so many years. Mr. Liu, did you come here today to see which piece of wool has better performance?"

"No."

Mr. Liu shook his head, and then sighed: "I am a loner now, and I only have the hobby of gambling on stones, but I have figured it out now, it is better to take less shots in the future. There is no superb strength and skills in the stone gambling business. Luck is definitely nine out of ten bets. Although I have gained something over the years, I am still far from a master."

"Hehe, as far as your level is concerned, you are a senior to me. I will ask Mr. Liu to teach me more." After speaking, Chu Chen respectfully handed over his business card.

Mr. Liu's perception of Chu Chen should be pretty good, so he also exchanged his business cards, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, it won't be a short time to hear others introduce you to jadeite, and we can communicate with each other then. .I really envy your mentality. You spent less money to learn how to bet on stones. It's not like me..."

Chu Chen took the business card and found out that this Mr. Liu was named Liu Zhiqing. Seeing that he felt sad again, he comforted him: "Mr. Liu, people still have to look forward, and I would like to ask, what are your plans for the future?" No?"

"Sorry, I lost my composure."

Hearing this, Liu Zhiqing cheered up and replied: "I have spent so many years betting on stones, and now I am only interested in this aspect, so I plan to open a store in the future, specializing in woolen goods." For business, I still have a few friends in southern Yunnan, and I plan to go there next month to inspect the market."

When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately said with an idea: "Mr. Liu, I have a presumptuous request. Can you take me with you when you go?"

"Okay, there's nothing presumptuous about this kind of thing." Liu Zhiqing readily agreed, "I'll leave on the [-]th of next month, and I'll call you on the [-]rd. If I forget, just urge me. It's okay." of."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Liu." Seeing that he agreed, Chu Chen said happily.

Liu Zhiqing jokingly said: "You don't have to thank me. When the shop opens, you can come to visit me frequently, which is the best thanks to me."

"That's for sure, and I want to wish Mr. Liu a happy business first." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Then thank you for your auspicious words first, Xiao Chu, we have known each other, and it will be a little strange for you to call me Mr. Liu. If you want, I ask you to call me Brother Liu."

Seeing Chu Chen nodding his head in agreement, he continued to ask, "Xiao Chu, are you planning to do something big when you come here today?"

"No way, my little money is not enough to go to a big fight. It's just that I won a little yesterday and gained some confidence, so I'll try my luck here again today."

After Chu Chen waved his hand to answer, he continued to ask curiously: "Brother Liu, you came here before me, did you meet anyone who performed better?"

"Hehe, I haven't been here for long, I just took a look at the Qianyuan District here, but the performance here is not very good." Liu Zhiqing shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Chu Chen also glanced at the woolen materials in Qianyuan District, and was immediately disappointed. There are various woolen materials here, some of which are not small in size, but it is not difficult to see that most of them are Xinchang woolen materials.

Generally speaking, the jadeite betting stones on the market can be roughly divided into three categories: Xinchang jade, sand leather betting stones and water stones.

Xinchang jade refers to the jadeite raw materials excavated directly from the mountain. It is characterized by no or few leather shells, little internal and external changes, and often low-to-medium-grade materials with white background and green, and the market value is not high.

But since it is jadeite wool, some unscrupulous businessmen often polish Xinchang jade into gravel shape, and then make fake leather to imitate yellow sand skin or black black sand gambling stone or water stone.

Water stone wool refers to emerald gravel without leather shell formed by weathering and denudation of mountain materials and transportation by river water.Because water stones are transported by river water, the loose parts have been worn away, leaving only the hard and dense parts. Coupled with natural reasons, the texture is finer and the color is better, and high-quality emeralds often appear.

Sand skin wool refers to the emerald gravel formed by the second weathering and denudation of the gravel that had been buried at the bottom of the water for a long time due to the uplift of the earth's crust.After further weathering, a layer of sand skin will appear on the surface, called sand skin wool gambling stone, which is the most important gambling stone wool on the market.

And most of the thousand yuan area is the first type of Xinchang jade, and other wool materials, from a distance, do not perform well, so Chu Chen is disappointed.

Seeing Chu Chen's disappointed expression, Liu Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Xiao Chu, you have a bad attitude. You don't even think about the fact that your jadeite was made of bricks yesterday. Our business is the same as you play antiques. You have to be bold and careful, and don't give up any piece of wool if there is a chance. It's not to encourage you to play with bricks and materials, but to let you wait for practice before drawing conclusions, people can't judge by appearance."

When Chu Chen heard it, it was indeed true. He was indeed a little superficial just now, and he didn't even think about it. If the jadeite is all made of good-looking wool, would it still be called a gambling stone?What Liu Zhiqing said is very correct, people can't judge by their appearance, let alone the gambling stone wool that is difficult for gods to break an inch of jade?

Seeing Chu Chen's pensive look, Liu Zhiqing smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, so I won't waste your time, let's concentrate on looking at the wool."

Chu Chen quickly reacted, and after thanking Liu Zhiqing for his teaching, he also began to look for today's favorite target.

Although what Liu Zhiqing said before is very reasonable, but next, Chu Chen's goal is to start with the woolen materials in the [-]-yuan district.

Entering the ten thousand yuan area, Chu Chen was a little disappointed again. The disappointment here was not because the wool was not good, but because Baojue, who had been given high hopes by him, did not respond at this time.

It is definitely impossible to say that there is no jadeite in the woolen materials here. Even if the probability of producing high-grade jadeite is not high, but based on the performance of the woolen materials in the ten thousand yuan area, it is not to the point where no jadeite can be produced.

This shows that Baojue's perception of jadeite has no effect. Of course, this situation may change in the future, but for Chu Chen now, it is of no help at all.

Come on, I have enough food and clothing by myself. Without Butcher Zhang, I would have to eat pigs with hair. Chu Chen was not too disappointed. After cheering up his spirits, he took out his magnifying glass and bright flashlight and went to fight.

The wool here is much less than that in the thousand yuan district, and the wool in the area of ​​more than 50 yuan is even less. After all, it is common to spend tens of thousands to participate in stone gambling these days, but it is not uncommon to spend hundreds of thousands or even thousands of yuan. It is rare for individuals to participate in stone gambling with millions of dollars, except for companies.

The two districts of [-] yuan are divided into two parts, one is semi-gambling wool, that is, wool that has opened a "small window" or opened a "small door". It is favored by some jewelry companies and customers who are not proficient in gambling stones.

Although the small window is opened, it is not impossible to lose the bet. After all, no one can predict what is going on inside the wool, such as cracks and ringworm, or the jade inside has a thin layer of skin. Green, and so on, will greatly reduce the value of the jade that is out, or even lose everything.

But even so, this is still much less likely than the possibility of an accident in the whole bet. When Chu Chen had no superpowers, he also thought about it. When he has more money in the future, he will invest in half bets. Less, but the odds of making money are high.

The most expensive piece of stone in the [-] yuan area here is a piece of yellow sand leather and half material, which weighs about a dozen kilograms. The water head opened out of the window is very large, and it looks very delicate. There are almost ice to glass seeds when the flashlight is on. look like.

It's a pity that there are many small locks in this piece of wool. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of big cracks and small locks. Cracks are extremely harmful to jadeite and directly affect the material and appearance of jadeite.

Large cracks are easy to observe, and it is easy to see how much it affects the jadeite.The lock is elusive because it is small and easily changes, whether it is large or small, deep or shallow.

This piece of semi-gambling wool has greatly affected its value because of the lock, otherwise the price would start at least 50.

When Chu Chen was about to give up this piece of gambling material, he suddenly thought that he has supernatural powers. If the inside of the wool material is not as shown, wouldn't he miss it?
Heartbroken, Chu Chen immediately put his left hand on the rough stone again, lowered his head as if to observe, and then activated the supernatural power.

But immediately, his face suddenly became brighter. The strength of the spiritual power in the rough stone was only about a thousand yuan. That is to say, the inside of the rough stone was covered with large and small cracks, which destroyed the jade inside. clean and dry.

But under normal circumstances, although there is such a possibility, the probability is absolutely negligible. The biggest possibility is that this piece of wool should be the skin green mentioned just now, and only the place where the window is opened has emerald.

This piece of wool is really broken by whoever knows it, and when it is lost, Chu Chen can't help but sigh in his heart, nature is really amazing.

After leaving this half-gambling stone, he looked at several other half-gambling stones, but he was not satisfied. The key is that the ability can only be used three times a day, which is too restrictive for the gambling stone.Chu Chen can only hope in his heart that when the ability is upgraded next time, it would be nice to increase the number of times it can be used.

After reading half of the materials, Chu Chen began to look at the whole wool fabrics next to him. The performance of the whole wool fabrics here is right for its price. Most of them have python patterns and pine flowers, especially there are large pieces. , and the performance is not bad black tungsten sand, unfortunately, this black black sand is a piece of wax shell without sand skin.
