"Uh, I'm not going to show you any respect then. In this case, I can pay for the money that Mo Yang and others spent gambling on stones."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, Dahei's face was filled with smiles, like a black peony. That smile was invincible.

Li Moyang rubbed his nose. This guy is also a top figure. He is smart and at least unrivaled in flattering him. So Li Moyang smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Liu. I don't know anything. I just find a stone to play with."

That’s all.”

"No problem, you can take your pick." Liu Qing's smile became even stronger. Li Moyang is a good guy and knows how to speak according to his meaning.

Du Baogang continued: "Mr. Liu, what else do you need us to do? Just say it, there won't be any strong enemies to stop it, right?"

Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "There is indeed a strong enemy. My Yanghua Stone Gambling Auction House just arrived and offended the largest Stone Gambling House in Tengchong, called Jinshan Stone Gambling House. Before I came, Jinshan Gambling Stone Auction House

Shi Xing is the boss of Tengchong. His boss, Wu Guo, is also the president of Tengchong Stone Gambling Guild. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The newcomer will definitely be bullied and must survive this hurdle. This is why I invite you to the town.

reason."

"Haha, okay, I've decided to help you this time. Spending money is not a problem. But you must also prepare the source of your ore. Don't make up for it, otherwise, it will be really ridiculous." Du Baogang reminded.

"Don't worry about this. I never fight an unprepared battle. This time I got the Laokeng ore from Myanmar and invited an experienced master to test it in advance. The probability of finding jadeite is definitely high." Liu Qing

Promise.

"That's good."

Land Rover and his party arrived in Tengchong after two hours at a fast speed. The streets were full of stone gambling places, and the streets were full of people of all kinds. Different stones were placed everywhere, and the streets were bustling. This is the stone gambling area in Tengchong.

The Land Rover at the head turned into a cold stone gambling place. There were a few big words hanging above the door: Yanghua Stone Gambling Shop. Li Moyang and others got out of the car and took a closer look. They saw that it was a very grand stone gambling place with various types of stone gambling.

Antique buildings, carved dragon columns, very

Ancient rhyme, an octagonal pavilion stands in the center of the stone gambling ground. In the middle of the octagonal pavilion is a screen wall. On the screen wall hangs the sign "One sword makes you rich, one sword makes you poor". A large copper gong hangs on a pergola. Liu Qing introduced:

This means the final word is final.

Four rows of long tables were placed with rough stones of various sizes, ranging in color from yellow to black. Liu Qing led the way to the living room and said, "This is the rough stone. These stones may all be jade. Can you bet on finding jade?"

, it depends on your luck."

There are some huge rough stones piled up in the corners on the side. From a visual inspection, one piece weighs several tons. Li Moyang asked: "Are these also rough stones?"

Liu Qing smiled proudly: "Yes, these are all, based on one hundred yuan per kilogram, guess how much it costs to buy this stone alone?"

"Well, it's over a million. If we can't get the jade from the bet, wouldn't we lose it?" Hu Shengsong took a breath, and Liu Jin'er covered her mouth in shock.

"Yes, you can be poor with one sword and rich with two swords. The only thing you need is the fun of gambling!" As Liu Qing spoke, he welcomed everyone into the living room. In the living room, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face was sitting on the Taishi chair. He saw everyone entering the room and did not stand up.

, his expression was very arrogant, but Liu Qing didn't take it seriously.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, my guest is here, let me introduce you." Liu Qing greeted him with a smile, which made everyone including Du Baogang stunned. This so-called Mr. Ma has a lot of background.

Mr. Ma was still sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, bowing slightly as a greeting. Liu Qing arranged for Du Baogang to sit on the Grand Master's chair next to Mr. Ma, so that he could sit on an equal footing with Mr. Ma. He sat on the chair beside him, and Li Moyang and others also sat down.

Du Baogang was calm and indifferent and didn't take it seriously. Li Moyang had a very good attitude and didn't take it seriously. Hu Shengsong was a little reluctant and Song Yiming was also very dissatisfied. This so-called Ma Lao Ting was so awesome that even the international rich didn't take it seriously.

Liu Qing bowed and introduced the guests. The conversation changed and he started to recommend Mr. Ma: "Haha, guests from afar, I would like to introduce the consultant of Yanghua Stone Gambling Center, Mr. Ma Zhongren, an expert in stone gambling." Mr. Ma said to him.

He was very cold, smiled and said nothing, and was so awesome that Hu Shengsong and Song Yiming were very dissatisfied.

Liu Qing continued to introduce: "Before introducing Mr. Ma, let me give you some popular science about gambling stones, or jade. It can be said that the prosperity of gambling stones here in Yunnan since the reform and opening up has a lot to do with Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ma plays a decisive role.

Its role is indispensable!"

Mr. Ma was very proud. He stroked his white beard, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of rich Pu'er. Liu Qing waited for Mr. Ma to finish his tea before continuing: "Gambling stone is a unique high-end jadeite rough that is popular along the Yunnan-Myanmar border."

Trading method, with its gambling color, strong excitement and high risk

It is large and attracts jade dealers from all over the world to participate in the business. It can be said that it has been prosperous for a long time. If the seller knows the trade and bets on good luck, he can buy high-quality goods and become a nouveau riche in an instant, a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire. On the contrary, if the seller misses the goods, he will be lucky.

If it doesn't work well, you will lose all your money and your fortune.

At the beginning of the century, a group of experts in stone gambling appeared in Tengchong and became famous. Mao Yingde became extremely rich because of his gambling on the "Mao Family Big Jade". In order to show off his wealth, after his death, he tied thousands of pairs of high-grade jade bracelets into coffin covers as funerary objects."

Everyone took a breath when they heard this, it was really awesome.

Liu Qing continued: "Betting on Stones, everyone must be curious about this thing. As the name suggests, Betting on Stones! Usually the jade we see is wrapped in stone before processing, so from the appearance, if the surface of the stone is not damaged, the inside will be exposed

It is no different from ordinary broken stones. However, the density of jade is much greater than that of stone. If the stone is wrapped with jade, it will be significantly heavier than ordinary stone.

The jade wool and other materials seen in Yunnan basically come from Myanmar. There are big and small stones. Generally, the sellers of these stones will weigh them in advance and mark the weight on the stone. Those who have a bad feeling can directly use the numbers above.

Determine the weight. Some stones on the surface have been chipped, and even the jade inside is exposed. In order to judge the quality of the jade inside, a small flashlight is usually used to hold the surface of the stone closely to see the color and fineness.

Betting on stones can range from hundreds to tens to hundreds of thousands, depending on personal ability. It doesn’t necessarily mean that expensive stones contain jade or that jade will be very good, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is no good jade in small stones. A stone can be a good choice for everyone.

I don’t know whether the stone contains jade or waste stone. After buying the stone, you can take it home as a whole piece, or you can cut it into pieces at the time. After cutting, you can directly make handicrafts, jewelry, etc. according to the size and shape of the jade. Generally,

For example, the processing fee for making a bracelet is 30 to 40 yuan."

At this point, everyone finally had some idea about stone gambling. Liu Qing coughed, glanced at Mr. Ma and said, "Once again, I want to mention someone. He was born in a jadeite family and has been in the jade stone gambling market for more than 20 years;

He has made many wealthy jade families, and the structure of China's jade market has changed because of him; he advocates the virtues of jade and is a legacy of Chinese jade culture.

After many years of research and verification, he proposed that China's Heshi Bi is jade. In this way, jade as a cultural commodity should have entered China 2,600 years ago. His conclusion has been unanimously agreed by industry experts.

His life is full of mystery. This is Mr. Ma Lao, Ma Zhongren and Ma Lao."

Du Baogang raised his glass to pay tribute, Li Moyang, Hu Shengsong, and Song Yiming were a little impressed by the awesome and coaxing old man. Mr. Ma spoke up for the first time: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, it's all in the past, haha." In one word, awesome.

Unable to force it, the good impression of Li Moyang and others disappeared again.

Liu Qing continued to introduce: "Recently, the 65-year-old Ma Lao made another amazing move: he bought a huge "gambling stone" for 10 million yuan at the public sale (trade fair) in Yangon, Myanmar. After cutting,

A buyer immediately offered 50 million yuan, becoming the biggest winner in the stone betting market that season. This spring, a special car moved part of the jade to the Xidan Minrenfu Jade Store in Beijing, which really opened people's eyes.

Throughout the ages, the jadeite wool trade has always been a gambling battlefield for adventurers. The jadeite wool can be measured in grams or weigh in tons. Most of the jadeites picked into the "stone gambling" field are what people in the industry call "hooded stones."

, refers to stones that are wrapped in a shell of varying thickness, or have small skylights opened. Many jade buyers start gambling games under this kind of shell, and many of them put all

If all the assets are bet on a stone, the inexperienced and courageous people will have to stay away. Even if it is a "half-knowledge, half-bet" jade, traders must be cautious. Everyone in the industry knows that if a stone is cut,

, it is possible to get a top-quality stone that is crystal clear and as green as water, and the buyer will immediately be worth a hundred times the price; some stones may be worthless earth and stone with no water on the ground, and the buyer will immediately lose all his money.

Ma Zhongren, who was originally a geologist, was born in 1940 in Tengchong, an ancient city in western Yunnan, not far from the jade producing area in Myanmar. About thousands of years ago, the Tengchong people discovered a wonderful stone in northern Myanmar and brought it back to their hometown to cut it and obtain it.

He picked up a beautiful stone, which is jadeite. From then on, jade craftsmen and jewelers began to gather in Tengchong. Ma Zhongren’s father was also an expert in jadeite. After liberation, Ma Zhongren studied geology in university and later became a

Got it

After many years of geological research, he became one of the first scholars of his generation to go to sea after the reform and opening up.

His unique geological experience gave him an intimate knowledge of jade. As long as he holds a piece of jade in his hand and weighs it, he will be sure whether there is green in it and how much green it is worth. That's why people call him the "Emerald King"
