Under Zhang Yilong's curious questioning, Lao Turtle patiently explained the situation about gambling on stones, only to hear him say in detail: "Gambling on stones is much more exciting than picking up leaks! Because the key to gambling on stones is 'gamble'

Before the stone is cut, no one knows what is going on inside. You may see it more accurately, or you may see it wrongly. This process is the so-called "stone gambling"! Stone gambling is similar to gambling. It requires skills. Of course,

It also depends on luck. I think the key to losing or winning in gambling is luck. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. Who can tell whether you’ve won or not before the result comes out?”

"Old turtle, I seem to understand what you mean." After listening to Lao turtle's concise explanation, Zhang Yilong seemed to understand and said, "In other words, buy a stone from a jade supplier, and then cut it yourself.

Whether there is jade inside the stone depends on you."

"Well, it's almost like that." The old turtle nodded and said, "Because jade is not ready-made, it is collected from mines or rivers. When it is mined, it is mostly just stone. Jade is wrapped in stone and can only be cut into pieces.

Get. Xiaolong, take my piece of jade for example. When I bought it, it was not like this, but just a small piece of black stone. Think about it, if such a small opening was not cut, who would

Knowing what it will look like inside, whether it is gold or jade, is often just a matter of seconds!

"Stone gambling has actually been around for a long time. To give you a very famous example, you must have heard the story of He's Bi. In history, wasn't Bian He a typical stone gambling expert? He chopped stones on the mountain.

When he was collecting firewood, he accidentally found a piece of beautiful jade, so he took it back and presented it to King Chu Li. Unexpectedly, the jade mason in the palace said that it was just an ordinary stone. King Chu Li cut off Bian He's left leg in anger.

The tragedy happened in the hands of the next generation of King Chu, causing him to lose his right leg. It was not until King Wen of Chu that King Chu Wen ordered the jade workers to cut open the stone and found out that there was a piece of exquisite jade hidden in it... Bian He

After offering treasures three times and paying a heavy price of two legs, the existence of beautiful jade was finally proved. After the stone was cut, it became the priceless Heshi Bi, and later it became the 'Jade Seal of the Nation'! Haha, so

It is said that Bian He was the pioneer of stone gambling!"

When the old turtle told the story of "Bian He Xian Yu", Zhang Yilong pricked up his ears and listened with rapt attention. After the old turtle finished speaking, he couldn't help but question: "Old turtle, is it so difficult to gamble on stones?"

"That's natural!" The old turtle nodded quickly and replied, "There is a saying in the jade gambling industry: 'It is difficult for gods to break an inch of jade, but masters often miss.' This sentence is enough to show the difficulty of gambling on stones! You have to know,

Betting on stones all relies on a pair of naked eyes. There is no high-tech instrument that can directly observe the situation inside the stone. Otherwise, this trading method would not exist. Xiaolong, if you don’t talk about other things, just look at my stone.

.”

While speaking solemnly, he raised the small stone and brought it to Zhang Yilong's eyes, and continued: "Can you determine the situation inside it? Although it has a relatively beautiful opening,

But no one knows what the situation below is like, otherwise I would have made a judgment long ago, but now I am hesitant. I don’t know whether to continue cutting or keep it as it is. Hey, it’s too risky. I might cut it with one knife.

If the green is gone and there is nothing, it will be a heavy loss, but there is another possibility, that is, it is all emerald green jade, then I will make a lot of money!"

While the old turtle was talking with lively eyebrows, Zhang Yilong stared at the small stone. For a moment, his eyes flickered, thoughtfully.

"Old turtle, hehe, I know what's going on inside." Zhang Yilong suddenly laughed.

"It's weird that you know! Unless you are Sun Wukong, who has the piercing golden eyes to see through everything!" The old turtle rolled his eyes at Zhang Yilong and said, "I can't even see the slightest clue, but you, a person who has never set foot in a stone gambling business, can see it.

What fame?"

"Haha, I'm kidding you." Zhang Yilong said with a smile, "But since it's off to a good start, the chance of winning the bet is greater. I guess there is hope for this stone of yours, so don't be in a hurry to sell it.

"

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Just play with it. The jadeite market is very popular now, and the price of jadeite will only go up." The old turtle nodded calmly and replied.

"That's it, that's it..."

At this moment, Zhang Yilong was extremely excited, because after some in-depth and simple explanations from the old turtle, he suddenly understood what gambling on stones was all about. It turned out to be just that, and it had a lot to do with appraising treasures.

The difference is that treasure appraisal requires a wealth of knowledge and experience, while stone gambling only has the word "gambling", and it is enough to be able to see through the stone, and Zhang Yilong has the ability to "see through" everything.

In fact, Zhang Yilong's suggestion to Lao Turtle just now was not just casual talk. He was seeking truth from facts, because he had already looked at the uncut part of the stone through his clairvoyance eyes, and found that it was green inside, and the greener it became as it went down.

It is rich, so it can be seen that that stone is more profitable.

When he deeply realized that his special ability could be used for gambling on stones, Zhang Yilong naturally felt very excited. From the words of the old turtle, he could tell that jadeite was very valuable and the profits from gambling on stones were huge.

You can completely put aside the risk and directly use clairvoyance to find the beautiful jade hidden deep in the stone.

"Old turtle, how much did you spend on that stone when you bought it?" Zhang Yilong asked with interest.

The old turtle answered truthfully: "It's relatively cheap, about four hundred."

"More than four hundred?! You can sell it for a high price of 20,000 yuan now. Doesn't that make a net profit of nearly 20,000 yuan?!" Zhang Yilong was surprised. He knew that Lao Turtle made a lot, but he didn't expect to make so much. According to that

The emerald green distribution trend of the stone, wouldn't it be possible to make more money after cutting it all?

The old turtle said with a smile: "Xiaolong, that's just the price offered by the boss. I don't agree with it. If I'm willing to talk to him, 30,000 to 40,000 yuan shouldn't be a problem."

"Then you are so awesome!" Zhang Yilong exclaimed, "Old turtle, since betting on stones is so profitable, why don't you just go gambling on stones and set up a street stall?!"

The old turtle shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiaolong, you think too simplistically. Didn't I say that gambling on stones is difficult? You can't win if you want to win. Basically, you will lose nine times out of ten.

In other words, if you bet ten stones, nine of them will be lost, and only one will be won. The probability of winning is one in ten. Statistically speaking, there are fewer people who make money betting on stones than those who lose.

More! However, investment is risky, but the number of people betting on stones is still increasing, and they are very enthusiastic. I have no plans to gamble anymore. If you want to make a fortune gambling on stones, it is better to buy lottery tickets, that is easier. But it is undeniable

, gambling on stones is indeed very exciting and exciting! When I was cutting this stone, my heart was tightening, even though it only cost a mere four hundred yuan, so think about it, if a boss spent millions

If he buys a big stone, how nervous will he be when cutting it?!"

"That's true." Zhang Yilong nodded solemnly, but he was thinking in his heart: "I'm not afraid of risks! As long as the stone is good!"

"Old turtle, tell me, where is the market for betting on stones in our place?" Zhang Yilong asked immediately.

"What?" the old turtle asked without answering, and said, "Xiaolong, why are you asking this? Don't tell me, you also want to gamble on stones! I'm just sharing with you that gambling on stones brings happiness, but it can also bring pain to people.

I advise you not to try it, it’s too far-fetched and unreliable!”

Zhang Yilong hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Old turtle, do you think I'm that kind of irrational person? I'm just curious, I just want to go and have a look, and I didn't say I would spend unjust money betting on stones. It's not like you don't know about my family's situation.

You know, my parents have been laid off, and my sister and brother have failed in business many times, and I don’t know if they have found a job now. So I won’t waste money lavishly.”

"I know you are not Xiao Bin. If Xiao Bin asked me, I would never tell you that Xiao Bin only takes three minutes to do something. When his head gets hot, he will do any stupid thing without regard to the consequences!" Old Turtle

He smiled and said, "Okay, I tell you, just don't gamble randomly. As far as I know, the market for stone gambling here is not big. It seems that there are no very professional stone gambling shops. Most of them are just

Some individual activities, some of them are teams, and some of them are people in the circle playing with each other. Do you know Ergou? He is a stone gambling maniac. I think he has collected a lot of jade wool, but he is too treacherous.

, it’s best not to ask him, he might cheat you out of your money!”

"Don't talk about that bastard!" Zhang Yilong became very angry when he mentioned Ergou, and said angrily, "He is even worse than Kaizi, he is so shameless! No wonder his wife is stealing men outside, she deserves what she deserves.

Be a turtle!”

"Haha, look, you're here again!" the old turtle said with a smile, "If you haven't seen people like Kaizi and Ergou, you don't know how deep this industry is! After all, you are still young and energetic.

Ah! But I don’t think you need to be bitter and bitter. If you can, you can make money from them and make them angry until they vomit blood. This will relieve your anger. Otherwise, what’s the use of hating them anymore?!”

"Old turtle, what you said is very pertinent. I know what to do." Zhang Yilong nodded in agreement, calmed down and said, "Old turtle, where did you gamble on stones last time? It shouldn't be Ergou's jade shop, right?

?”

"No." The old turtle shook his head and said, "At Laizi's place, I don't know if his stones have been sold out. They are not long-term supplies, so they are sold temporarily, because jadeite rough stones are more expensive, and I can't afford to buy too much at one time.

, if you can’t sell it, you will suffer even more losses!”

"Oh, it's at Wang Laizi's place?" Zhang Yilong suddenly said, "Okay, let's go take a look after we finish eating."

He was excited and confident at the same time, because it was time to test the power of his clairvoyant eyes!
