The site of the jade rough stone auction was arranged like an indoor ecological park. In a huge exhibition hall of hundreds of square meters, six to seven hundred jadeite rough stones of various sizes were arranged in an orderly manner.

These rough jade stones are as big as wheels, and the smallest ones are only the size of fists. They are divided into two categories in terms of quality. The left side of the exhibition hall occupies almost three-quarters of the entire hall, and only more than a hundred rough jade stones are placed there.

On some temporary shelves, they were placed very sparsely, with some flower baskets and bonsai dotted in the gaps between the original stones. There was only a very narrow corner on the right side of the exhibition hall, and there were five or six bonsai.

Hundreds of jadeite rough stones, these jadeite rough stones are just piled here and there, piled together in a mess, and they look no different from the stones freshly quarried in the mountains.

The rough stones placed on the shelves look better on the outside. They have been rubbed on the surface, opened through skylights, and some have even been cut. Most of them have revealed a pleasant green color. Of course... what is said here

The green color does not mean that jadeite is produced, but is just a mixed color mixed in the stone. However, the hope that a stone with this kind of performance can produce jadeite is greatly increased. Like these...it is a semi-gambling material.

In order to come here to gamble, Yang Hongtao had already acquired some knowledge about stone gambling at home. He knew that jadeite merchants generally did not gamble on stones themselves. Most of them just bought jadeite rough from Myanmar and transported it back to the mainland.

Then they convene major jewelry dealers or private stone gamblers to conduct auctions like this and sell the stones directly. As for whether there is jade in the stone, they don't care. What they earn is

That's a price difference.

However, generally experienced jadeite rough dealers will conduct a preliminary analysis on some jadeite rough stones with better performance before auctioning them. The so-called preliminary analysis is to simply rub a little of the skin on the stone, and then start the analysis.

A skylight, or a thin cut.

The same piece of raw jadeite, if it is sold intact, may have a base price of three to five hundred thousand at most, but if you scratch a piece of it on its surface, and happen to find out that there is green inside the stone,

If the price is high, then the starting price of this rough stone will probably rise to at least three to five million.

This rub is at least ten times worse! Even if this rub really exposes the jade flesh inside, and the quality looks good... then the starting price of this rough stone will be directly

It is not impossible to increase it to 10 or 20 million.

Therefore, although jade rough stone merchants themselves do not gamble on stones, they often use this preliminary solution to maximize their own interests. Often as long as a few good pieces appear in the preliminary solution, the cost of the entire batch of rough stones

Maybe I can make all my money back on these few pieces of material.

Of course... this initial solution also comes with certain risks. After all, if you rub out the green color, the price of the rough stone will skyrocket. However, if nothing can be rubbed out, it may also make the rough stone worthless.

The value of the original stone has plummeted. Therefore, the initial interpretation of this rough stone is a difficult job that requires experience and technology, and ordinary people cannot do it. Otherwise... wouldn't it mean that any cat or dog can be used as a rough jade stone?

A businessman?

As soon as Yang Hongtao walked into the jadeite rough auction hall, he immediately and impatiently released a ray of soul power, tentatively penetrating into the jadeite rough placed at the front.

Thank God, although there is not even a hair in this jade stone, Yang Hongtao has already relaxed, the power of his soul can indeed penetrate into the jade stone. In this way, he bets on the stone, it is absolutely

It’s a sure win, and you won’t lose any money!

Xin Yue knew that this was Yang Hongtao's first contact with stone gambling, so he stayed with Yang Hongtao and took the trouble to explain to him some knowledge about stone gambling, as well as some rules and taboos in the stone gambling industry.

As for Zheng Jingren, he wanted to select some jadeite rough stones on behalf of Bai Rui. Naturally, he had no time to accompany Yang Hongtao at this time and had already gone over to look at the stones. You must know that this jadeite rough stone auction is only for one afternoon. Can you choose?

When it comes to good rough stones, you can't be careless.

This time, people from more than fifty jewelry companies across the country came to participate in the jewelry exchange meeting. After the exchange meeting, almost all of these people came here to look at the raw jade stones. There were also some pure jadeite stones.

Many stone betting enthusiasts also came to join in the fun. So although the auction hall was not big, there were still two to three hundred people crowded into it.

After Yang Hongtao saw these two to three hundred people entering the auction hall, almost without exception, they all crowded into the place on the left where more than a hundred semi-bet rough stones were placed. At least the full-bet rough stones on the right side of the auction hall were countless.

One person asked about it and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why haven't these people seen all the gambling materials?"

Xin Yue shook her head and said: "Today's jade rough stone merchants are very smart. After these rough stones obtained from Burma pass through their hands, almost all stones that have some possibility of being jade should have been initially deciphered, and

There is almost no chance that the remaining raw materials can be used to extract jadeite. Think about it... if you buy 10,000 pieces of rough stone, you may not be able to extract one piece of jadeite. How can you bet on it?

! Not to mention the issue of losing money, but how much time and energy it takes to unravel these 10,000 rough stones! So although the wool of the full bet is much cheaper than the wool of the half bet, it is not.

Not many people will ask about it."

But Yang Hongtao said doubtfully: "Since no one cares, then why are they putting these stones out?"

"People from jewelry companies will not buy this kind of full gambling material that has no chance of winning, but those idle stone gambling enthusiasts will buy it..." Xin Yue explained: "After all, the price of half gambling material is very expensive for ordinary people.

It's ridiculously high for most people. The money that ordinary working-class people save from working all their lives is probably not enough to buy a fist made of mostly wool. However, there are many people who dream of getting rich overnight, even though they know that all of it is made of wool.

The possibility of finding jadeite is very slim, but there will be people who try to buy a few pieces and cut them up to have a look, just like buying a lottery ticket. Naturally, if the bet goes up, you can become a rich person in no time, even if you have nothing.

If you can't cut it out, you won't lose everything. It's just that these stone gambling enthusiasts are like enthusiasts, full of curiosity and desire for jadeite rough. Even if they can't afford it, they still have to feast their eyes first, or...

Experts gain experience as experts gain experience, so when the auction begins, most people will not immediately buy the full-gang wool. It is estimated that when the half-gang wool here is auctioned for about the same amount, someone will pay to cut the full-gang wool.

Let’s take a look at the raw materials. However, there are so many pure raw materials, and today’s auction is short, it is estimated that they will not be sold for a few yuan. The remaining jade raw stone merchants will either sell them to the next raw material merchant at a cabbage price, or they will keep them.

Just play around and figure it out for yourself. Anyway, as long as they sell more than half of the raw materials, they will definitely be able to recover the cost of this batch of rough stones. It doesn't matter whether the remaining rubbish can be cut into jadeite."

After hearing this, Yang Hongtao almost understood the meaning of this. It seems that among these rough stones, the ones that may produce jadeite are all concentrated in the one hundred or so pieces. The remaining five or six hundred stones are basically impossible to produce jadeite.
