After walking out of Li Kai's antique shop, it was already late. It was lunch time. After a busy morning, Zhang Yilong was a little hungry, so he was going to eat, but he did not go directly to a nearby restaurant.

First we came to the place where Lao Turtle set up his stall.

"Old turtle, haven't you eaten yet?" Zhang Yilong greeted him with a smile when he saw that the old turtle was packing his things.

"Oh?" Hearing Zhang Yilong's voice, the old turtle quickly turned around and looked around, surprised, "Xiaolong, why are you back again?"

Zhang Yilong said: "I came to call you. Old turtle, let's go to dinner. I'll treat you."

"What?" the old turtle asked in surprise, "Did I hear correctly? What day is it today? You actually invited me to be my guest!"

Zhang Yilong rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "Isn't it right? I've often invited you to eat before."

The old turtle laughed and said: "It's just that you rarely take the initiative! Tell me, what good thing happened. Could it be that you won the lottery?"

"Absolutely." Zhang Yilong nodded solemnly and said, "Why do you talk so much nonsense? Why do you treat me to a drink and you still have so many tricks up my sleeve? I really admire you!"

Although Zhang Yilong did not win the lottery, he did make a fortune and made a lot of money. For ordinary people, more than two million is an astronomical figure, and he can spend it no matter what.

Inviting the old turtle to dinner is not just a whim. Zhang Yilong really has to treat the other party because the other party helped him a lot in the past. He has long had the idea that after he gets rich, he should thank the old turtle properly. Now let’s not talk about getting rich.

No matter how rich you are, you can still afford to pay for a treat.

"No more, no more, what else is there to say when we have wine?! Let's go, I really want to have a good drink with you." The old turtle then nodded in agreement, and then asked an acquaintance on the side to help him

After taking care of the stall and making arrangements, he followed Zhang Yilong to a familiar hotel nearby.

The hotel that Zhang Yilong and Lao Turtle came to was not big, but the furnishings inside were relatively luxurious and the environment was very clean. They asked for an elegant small box.

After sitting down, Zhang Yilong asked Lao Turtle to order wine and food: "Old turtle, just order, you can drink any wine and eat any food. Since I am treating you, I have to make sure you drink well and eat well!"

"Anything is okay?" The old turtle looked at Zhang Yilong cheerfully and said suspiciously, "You don't feel bad if I order something expensive?"

Zhang Yilong shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, don't be afraid that I didn't bring any money! To tell you the truth, I just made a profit of 50,000 yuan! I collected more than 2,000 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, I sold it for 50,000 yuan."

I went there and people begged me to buy it, but originally I didn’t want to sell it at this price.”

"No way?!" Hearing Zhang Yilong's triumphant words, Lao Turtle was quite surprised and asked him quickly, "Xiaolong, are you kidding me?! What good thing did you receive?"

Already?!"

Zhang Yilong shook his head vigorously and said with a smile: "Do you think I am joking?"

"It's not like that, but I'm surprised." The old turtle said solemnly, "As far as I know you, logically you can only be ripped off. See how many times you have paid tuition before, how could you suddenly pick up such a big one?"

Leaked?!"

Zhang Yilong said disapprovingly: "Old turtle, you underestimate me, Zhang Yilong. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Isn't there an old saying that goes, 'Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi'. Today is not what it used to be."

compare!"

"It seems that you are really good at it!" Lao Turtle said with an excited expression, "Earning fifty thousand is definitely not as simple as picking up a small leak. You have learned a lot of experience and knowledge in the auction company."

Zhang Yilong said seriously: "I really learned something. But fifty thousand is still too little."

He did learn a lot of useful things from Mu Wanqing, but these two pick-ups had little to do with the newly learned antique knowledge. He relied entirely on his right eye power. Without that magical perception, how could he do it?

Take out the good stuff.

What Zhang Yilong told Lao Turtle was just the 50,000 yuan he earned. If he told Lao Turtle about his previous experience of earning two million yuan, he would probably not believe it.

Zhang Yilong was able to pick up the missing piece. As an old friend, the old turtle was naturally happy for him. After learning such good news from the other party, he suddenly became enlightened. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have a good time with the food and wine. Zhang Yilong was not

He is not a rich man. If he eats too well, he will be overwhelmed.

At that moment, the old turtle didn't hesitate any more and quickly ordered the wine and food. He didn't have to wait long before the good wine and food were served.

"Old turtle, come, let me toast you first. Thank you for your help to me and Xiaobin for so long. If it weren't for you, Xiaobin and I would have closed the stall early." Zhang Yilong picked up the full bottle of wine with a smile.

cup to toast with the old turtle.

The old turtle also raised his glass, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. We just learn from each other and take care of each other. In fact, it would be better if you two boys retreated earlier!"

The last words of Lao Turtle were profound, and Zhang Yilong thought to himself: "That's right. That time, Xiaobin's family was almost destroyed!"

One old and one young, clinking glasses and drinking.

"Old turtle, you must still remember what happened to Xiao Bin." After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Yilong said with a straight face, "As for that piece of Jun porcelain, that guy Kaizi didn't know where he received it from.

He even hyped it up, saying that he would hold an auction the day after tomorrow, and that thing could be sold for a high price of five to six hundred thousand! Damn it, that bastard Kaizi is simply not a human being. In order to make money, his conscience was eaten by a dog! "

He cursed angrily, and the old turtle nodded in agreement: "I think so, he is not a good person in the first place! Xiaolong, don't let him affect your mood. Oh, by the way, how do you know this?

News?”

Zhang Yilong said: "I just passed by his shop, and he told me personally. That bastard asked me to tell Xiao Bin to participate in his auction. You said this person...I don't even bother to despise him! I've seen him.

He has a black heart, but I have never seen anyone with such a black heart. He is so arrogant. He has already earned more than 200,000 yuan from Xiao Bin. That is all hard-earned money, which his parents saved penny by penny.

!”

"Hey~~" Lao Turtle said with a long sigh, "Xiao Bin is too impulsive. We tried to persuade him, but he insisted on going his own way and refused to listen. If he had drawn a clear line with Kaizi back then, he would have

Is there such a tragic ending as today?! The antique shop is like this. There are many scammers, and Kaizi is just one of them. After you have been around for a long time, you will feel that that kind of thing is commonplace and not surprising! With you

Let me tell you a secret. Maybe this is not a secret. Not long ago, a family went to Kaizi to argue that Kaizi had secretly exchanged their belongings. It is said that it was an important item. The official kiln porcelain from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was not worth much.

Damn it, that old man didn't understand this thing and was dazzled, so he took the thing out of the bag while showing it to others and replaced it with an ordinary piece of porcelain. It took a while before anyone in that house realized it.

, but it was already too late. Kaizi refused to admit it. The family was very angry, but there was nothing they could do against him because they had no evidence and could not file a lawsuit! Kaizi and the others had always been making money without conscience like this. It was too dark.

Got it!"

"I think the old man and his family are not lying, that thing must be Kaizi's fault!" Zhang Yilong said with a very certain tone.

"Everyone knows this. In order not to offend him, everyone can only turn a blind eye. Who dares to report him? It may be useless. Besides, the antique shop has established rules. There are many

It is difficult to explain things clearly after the fact." The old turtle said with some helplessness, "Who knows a lot of people and has a strong backer? Xiaolong, come on, let's go. Can we not talk about these unhappy things?

You should be happy now that you can pick it up. We have to celebrate!"

"Well, I understand!" Zhang Yilong agreed, and then continued to toast and drink with Lao Turtle.

After three rounds of drinking, and when he was almost drunk, the old turtle suddenly said with great joy: "Xiaolong, I want to show you something."

"Oh, what is it?" Zhang Yilong asked in surprise.

"That's it, do you know what it is?" As he said this, the old turtle took out a piece of green jade from his pocket.

Zhang Yilong took one look and blurted out the reply: "Jade! Don't I recognize this one?"

"Do you know much about jade?" the old turtle asked.

Zhang Yilong shook his head truthfully and said: "I don't know much about it, I just know it. Jade jade is jadeite, while Hetian jade is soft jade. I can basically distinguish between the two."

"Of course." The old turtle said solemnly, "But you know too little. Learn more in the future. If you want to gain a foothold in the antiques trade, you must have a deep understanding of jade. After all, ancient jade

It is one of the more important pieces of antiques. Nowadays, more and more people are playing with jade. To tell you the truth, the price of my piece of jade is very low. I only spent eighty yuan when I bought it, but you may

I don’t know, but another piece of jade with the same shape and size may cost hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions! I’m not talking about ancient jade, but new jade.”

"Is it that expensive? Just a little bit bigger?" Zhang Yilong was a little unconvinced. Admittedly, he had never studied jade, and only knew a little about ancient Hetian jade. He knew that the He's jade made of Hetian jade was priceless in history, but

I never thought that jade jade could sell for such a high price.

"Yes!" The old turtle nodded heavily and said, "Because jade jade is slightly different from Hetian jade. Jade jade is graded more clearly, unlike Hetian jade. As long as it is mined from Kunlun Mountain, it is basically called Hetian jade. It's a bit

It’s confusing. The texture and color of jade jade all affect its price. There is a world of difference between jade jade with the best texture and jade jade with the worst texture! Xiaolong, let me show you another thing, haha, this is

The treasure I want to show you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be willing to show it to others.”

"What good thing?" Zhang Yilong was surprised. He was very curious and didn't know what the highlight of the show was for him.

At that moment, I saw Lao Turtle carefully taking out a small red brocade box from his arms, and opened the lid of the box without haste. The moment the lid was opened, Zhang Yilong caught a glimpse. What seemed to be placed inside was not a treasure.

, just a small dark stone.

The stone was about the size of a thumb, and there seemed to be a small opening in it, revealing a hint of green texture. That small "green window" made the whole stone a little different.

"Old turtle, what kind of stone is that?" Zhang Yilong asked in surprise, "Is it an agate stone? This seems to be nothing unusual. Don't tell me what kind of treasure such a small stone is."

"This is really a treasure!" The old turtle raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I know you have never played with this thing before. Let me tell you, this is jade, but it is jadeite. Last time I went to a jade shop to collect it.

I bought it for fun when I was shopping for stuff. Unexpectedly, I was very lucky. The stone turned green when I opened it. The boss at that time was very jealous and asked me to sell this stone to him. He was willing to pay 20,000 yuan, but I refused.

!Such a good thing, I want to play with it, it will be pleasing to the eye every day when I take it out!"

"What?! This thing is worth 20,000 yuan?! How can it be worth 20,000 yuan?!" Zhang Yilong said in surprise, "This is almost the same as an ordinary stone! Old turtle, don't kid me. You can buy one for 20,000 yuan."

You only have an jade bracelet, but how old are you?"

"It depends on what kind of bracelet it is, whether it is A or C, whether it is of good quality or poor quality." The old turtle said, "A jade bracelet bought for 20,000 yuan is very ordinary. Don't you feel the jade bracelet?

Is the texture under the stone very green? What I want is green! If you see green after cutting a piece of jadeite raw stone, you can basically make money! Although my stone is small, it can cut out a ring surface and an egg surface.

There is still hope.”

"I don't understand what you mean." Zhang Yilong said, "Look at what you said, it seems very mysterious."

"This is very mysterious!" The old turtle nodded and said, "Even if you haven't heard of gambling on stones, you have seen the movie directed by Ning Hao, the comedy "Crazy Stone", about the jade stone.

It’s not big, but it can sell for eight million, so it’s not unusual for my stone to sell for twenty thousand!”

"I've seen it." Zhang Yilong nodded and said, "But I didn't expect this. Old turtle, are you the kind of person who enjoys gambling with stones?"

"Of course, it's very popular now. It's rare here in Haizhou. If you go to the jade market in the Western Regions or Yunkun Province, you can feel the prevalence of stone gambling culture." The old turtle was very serious.

Tell Zhang Yilong.

The more Zhang Yilong listened, the more curious he became, and his interest increased sharply, so he asked Lao Turtle to explain in detail what gambling on stones was all about...
