Chapter 204 Stone Gambler Genius - Jiang Cheng(1/2)
As the name suggests, gambling stones are wrapped in a layer of weathered skin when they are mined. They cannot know the quality of the jade. They must be cut before they can know the quality of the jade.
In addition to normal cutting, there are also many raw jade raw materials, which are so-called "wool materials", that are privately purchased and bought, and then cut on site to see their quality.
Therefore, there is also a saying that "one knife is poor, one knife is rich". Some people get rich overnight after one knife, while others lose all their money overnight.
In an instant, I remembered these words that I had watched on TV.
The moment the stone appeared, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, and many people's eyes never left the stone.
The same is true for me. I didn’t expect that one day I would see the real gambling stone on the spot and I was immediately excited.
After the first stone came up, many stones were moved one after another, but none of them were bigger than the first one.
Soon, the stage was filled with stones, about a few hundred pieces.
The smallest stone is about the size of a fist, and the largest one is the half-human tall.
The price of wool materials is divided by size. The smaller the stone, the lower the price, ranging from a few hundred yuan to tens of millions.
Because the smaller the stone, the lower the chance of jadeite being removed, the worse the quality, the greater the chance of being larger, and the better the quality.
Of course, it is not ruled out that hundreds of stones produce good quality jade, and millions of stones eventually shrink into tens of thousands.
Therefore, betting on stones is not only about having eyesight and experience, but also about luck.
I looked at the fist-sized stone in the corner with a hurry, thinking about buying a piece for a while and seeing how lucky I was.
As I was thinking about, the gambling stones had begun, and many people turned their attention to the largest stone.
The man on the stage saw everyone's eyes and pointed to the largest stone and said, "This piece was just mined. There have been many old pit glass species mined from that mine."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes as they looked at Shi Tou became even hotter.
"Mr. Liu, what did you say to me feel like, just say how much it costs." A man said impatiently.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, tell me quickly." A man said anxiously.
The man smiled slightly and stretched out his two fingers, "From two million, the price increase will not be less than 100,000 each time."
I was dumbfounded. I had known that gambling stones were expensive, but I didn't expect that it would be so expensive as soon as I opened my mouth.
I think so, but the people present don't.
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone shouted: "Two.5 million."
In a simple sentence, the price was raised by 500,000 yuan.
Even so, facing such a high price, the people present not only did not retreat, but were excited one by one.
"Three million."
“Three million and five million.”
...
“Eight million.”
In just a few minutes, the price has soared to eight million.
At this moment, many people no longer raise prices, only three people are still competing, and each person has a willingness to win.
My heart was also hanging in my throat, wanting to see who will fall in the end.
Suddenly, I remembered that Jiang Cheng did not participate in the auction and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you want it?"
"It's just an ordinary piece of goods."
I didn't have time to think about what Jiang Cheng said, the auction began again.
"Nine million!"
After one of the old men in Tang suits said this, the man in the suits of the two shook his head gently. It seemed that he was withdrawing from the auction, leaving only the old men in Tang suits and the ones who had previously urged to start getting rich soon.
The rich man waved his hand and shouted, "Ten million."
The old man said calmly without blinking his eyes: "One thousand one million."
If there wasn't a ten thousand words behind, I would have thought that the old man was so calm and composed.
The rich man frowned, "Two million."
"One Thousand Three Millions." The old man followed closely.
"Four million." At this moment, a lot of sweat appeared on the forehead that was overwhelmed with wealth.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people couldn't help but swallow, looking at the old man intently, wanting to know if he would follow him or not.
The old man glanced at the stone lightly, then withdrew his eyes and turned around and walked backwards.
His approach means that he gave up the auction.
Seeing this, the man on the stage asked twice if there was a higher price. Seeing that no one answered, the man said with a final word: "Congratulations, this stone is yours."
Hearing this, the atmosphere now reached its highest point, and I felt relieved to get rich, and my face was filled with joy.
"Sir, do you want to cut it now or take it back?" the man asked with a smile.
"Cut now." Wu Daofu said proudly.
Soon, a cutting machine was brought up, and everyone formed a circle, looking at the cutting master's movements without blinking.
Such a big stone, the jade that is opened should be good, I thought to myself.
Amid the nervous and excited expectations of everyone, the sound of the cutting machine sounded, and in a few breaths, the inside of the stone appeared in everyone's eyes.
Just when everyone saw what was opened, they were stunned.
The exposed stone is white, and it should be a piece of white jade, but there are many black dots in the white, which greatly reduces the price of this piece of jade.
Even if I don’t understand jade, I know that the 14 million yuan of wealth is considered a waste of money, and the overall price of this piece of jade may not be as good as a fraction of the price.
Suddenly, a "bang" sounded in my ears.
I turned my head and looked, and saw that I had fainted when I got rich, and it seemed that I could not stand the blow.
I felt a sigh in my heart. From heaven to hell, even people couldn't stand this gap.
Suddenly, I remembered that I asked Jiang Cheng why he didn't bid for the auction just now. He said it was just an ordinary product.
Could it be that Jiang Cheng had known that this stone was not worthy of its name?
I looked at Jiang Cheng and saw that his face was calm, and it seemed that I had known this would be like this for a long time.
The booming rich and the stone he photographed was carried down by someone, and the atmosphere returned to its original state, and everyone's enthusiasm remained unabated.
However, this time, no one was choosing a particularly large stone, but chose medium ones and cut them immediately after swiping the card.
The results of cutting are different. Some of them have the best ice type, and some of them have ordinary products. The most unlucky one is that they have nothing, just an ordinary stone.
After sweeping around, I focused my eyes on the stone in the corner again.
Jiang Cheng noticed my gaze and asked, "I like that?"
I nodded and said, "I want to give it a try."
“Good vision.”
After Jiang Cheng said this sentence that made me confused, he attracted someone to take out the stone I said, and then he also chose several small stones himself.
After swiping the card together, someone came to help cut it soon.
I was ready to die and let someone cut my piece first, so as not to end up being more disappointed.
The cutting master placed the stone on the cutting machine. Just as he was about to cut, Jiang Cheng said, "Cut vertically."
Many people like to cut according to their own ideas, so the cutting master did not hesitate and turned around and cut it with one size fits.
A touch of green appeared in the stone.
Seeing this green, my heart beat violently and couldn't believe it: "Is there any jade?"
The answer to me was the cutting master's words, "Yes, lady, do you still need to continue cutting?"
"Tsk!" I said excitedly.
After a few slashes, the green color became bigger and bigger.
Finally, the jade cut from the originally fist-sized stone was about half the size of an egg.
I can't see the quality of jade, but it doesn't hinder my excitement.
I put the jade in my palm and showed it to Jiang Cheng as if I offered treasures.
"Acheng, look, I've opened jade."
Jiang Cheng rubbed my hair and praised, "My Yao'er is so amazing."
I glanced at him proudly and said happily: "Of course, I won't look at who I am. By the way, yours, cut it too, let me see."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled pamperedly, and then said to the cutting master: "These are cut on the ground."
Under Jiang Cheng's command, the first stone was cut out. When I saw the flawless white, I felt my breathing tighten.
"This is?"
