As soon as he left the hospital, Lin Bei's phone rang. When he opened it, he saw it was Qian Susu.
She said on the phone: "Lin Bei, the rough stone conference starts tonight. Are you free?"
Lin Bei also wanted to see it, and nodded: "Yes."
Qian Susu said: "I will pick you up that afternoon, because the venue is in the mountain town next door, so we have to leave early."
Lin Bei nodded and hung up the phone.
In the afternoon, Qian Susu's car arrived.
However, what we drove today was Qian Wenxiong's Maybach, and it was not Qian Susu who was driving, but a driver who drove the car, and Qian Wenxiong was also sitting in the car.
It takes more than two hours to drive to the mountain city. In addition to road repairs and separate meals, it was already dusk when we arrived.
In the car, Lin Bei looked at this underdeveloped city surrounded by mountains, and felt a special sense of tranquility and peace in his heart.
"Lin Bei, is this your first time here?" Qian Wenxiong asked as he stuck his head out of the front seat.
Lin Bei nodded: "Yes, although it is close, this is my first time here."
Qian Wenxiong explained: "The development here is not as good as our Jiangcheng, and the terrain is special, a bit like the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there are often some marginal things opened here."
Lin Bei understood as soon as he heard that stone gambling was not a particularly legal thing. Things like the rough stone conference could never be held openly in a place like Jiangcheng.
However, this also ended the existence of Shancheng. Relying on these industries, although their development was not as good as that of Jiangcheng, they still lived quite prosperously.
Qian Wenxiong said again: "Lin Bei, I heard that there are many top-notch people in this conference, and you have to help me with my eyes. Of course, we won't let you come in vain. Come and help us choose the stones.
We'll pay for it, and if something good comes out, we'll split it 50-50! The future of our Qian family rests entirely on you!"
Lin Bei said modestly: "Uncle Qian, you're welcome. Su Su is my friend, and of course I will do my best to help you."
"Then you have to work harder, we need at least 20 million." Qian Susu said with a smile.
Lin Bei said: "As long as the stone is good enough, there will be absolutely no problem on my side."
During the conversation, the venue for the rough stone conference arrived.
The venue is located in the suburbs of a mountain city. This city is surrounded by mountains. The suburbs are naturally mountainous, and the venue of the conference is actually halfway up a mountain.
However, this place seems to have been specially developed. The roads are smooth and the area is large. There is also a huge flat land with greenhouses built inside, which is the venue for the rough stone conference.
At the entrance of the venue, there were several tall and sharp-looking bodyguards standing.
Qian Wenxiong said: "The organizer of this conference is quite powerful. Although the location keeps changing, no one dares to cause trouble at the conference every year. Because there is only one fate for those who cause trouble, and that is to disappear from the world."
Lin Bei immediately agreed upon hearing this. In this kind of situation where there is no black and white, rules are even more important. Otherwise, because of the ups and downs of stone cutting, it is easy for people to have some unreasonable thoughts.
Moreover, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, so it is easy for people to deal with it. If you just throw it into the mountains, you can guarantee that it will not be discovered for several years.
Lin Bei followed Qian Wenxiong into the venue. As soon as he passed, he could see the huge flow of people, indicating that there were at least a thousand people in the venue.
Under the bright lights, neat stalls were displayed in front of them, but what was displayed in the stalls were not small objects, but pieces of rough stones of various shapes and qualities. These stones were all clearly marked with prices.
, for those who pass by to choose.
Qian Wenxiong continued: "Besides the organizer, the rest here are buyers and sellers. Buyers are people like us who come in looking for stones. As for the sellers, they are the owners of the stalls. They provide the organizers with
After paying the shop rent and transaction fees, you can get the qualification to set up a stall here."
Lin Bei nodded and asked again: "Where to open the stone?"
Hearing this, Qian Susu on the side said: "There is a special stone-breaking area here. As long as you pay a small processing fee, there will be a dedicated master to break the stone for you. There is even a place specializing in selling finished jade.
The stones can be sold directly there."
"So that's it."
Now Lin Bei understood, and then he was surprised: "How do you know so clearly?"
Qian Susu smiled and said: "Don't forget what kind of family I was born into. I went to this kind of stone gambling convention with my grandfather when I was a child."
Come to think of it, the Qian family made their fortune by gambling on stones, and Qian Susu's ears and eyes were influenced, so of course he would understand some of this kind of thing.
At this time, Qian Wenxiong rubbed his hands and said, his eyes shining: "Lin Bei, time does not wait for us, let's get started?"
"Okay, let's go take a look first."
Lin Bei knew that Qian Wenxiong, an old stone spirit, couldn't wait for a long time, so he led them towards a nearby stall.
At the stalls, there is a dazzling array of rough stones, including wild and wild stones, new and old varieties, and the prices range from tens to tens of thousands.
Lin Bei took a closer look and he could clearly see the inside of these stones.
He found that except for a few parts that contained things, the rest were basically waste stones, and the contents inside were very little.
This also corresponds to the old saying, nine times out of ten you bet, you lose!
Gambling on stones is also gambling, and the gambling is even more exaggerated, especially those high-priced rough stones. These stones have been carefully selected by experienced people. Although the stones containing jade may be larger, the risk will also be greater.
At this time, Lin Bei saw a stone the size of a palm, with a round shape but full of holes on its surface.
The price of this stone was 600 yuan. When the boss saw Lin Bei staring at it, he said, "Young man is really discerning. This stone is a new material from the entrance of Moxi Shachang. It is the easiest to produce glass."
When Lin Bei heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is the entrance of the field?"
Qian Wenxiong explained: "The entrance to the site is where the rough stones are produced. There are only a few of the most famous jade sites in the world, and Moxisha is one of them. It is a large site in Myanmar."
When the stall owner heard this, he immediately became happy.
It’s actually a baby!
Chu'er's money is the best to make!
The boss looked Lin Bei up and down, and immediately took out a few rough stones that were not easy to sell, and said: "Young man, these pieces of material are also very good. If you want them, I will give them to you cheaper."
Qian Wenxiong couldn't help but stare: "You think we are stupid! You look like old material at first glance. I guess you have unearthed several pieces. Are you treating us like pigs?"
"It turns out there is still a master chef." The boss sneered and was about to put away these pieces of junk.
But at this moment, Lin Bei suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Then, he picked out three pieces of junk from the boss's hands, placed them next to the rough stone he just saw, and then said:
