"These are just a few random materials I picked in the shop. Let's each choose three. Whoever draws more greens and has higher value will win. How about that?"
The so-called masking material refers to the original stone without windows. The entire stone is covered with weathered sand skin. It is impossible to tell whether there is jade inside if you look directly from the outside.
Only some experienced experts can roughly guess whether there is jade in the material based on the texture of the stone, the tightness of the sand-skin shell, and the lighting with a flashlight.
And generally, if you cut ten of this kind of masking material, seven or eight of them are really just stones.
Therefore, even if this kind of masking material weighs hundreds of kilograms, the price will not be very high.
However, once you open the window and see the emerald color inside the stone, the value of the rough stone will immediately increase several times.
For example, if you buy a piece of Mongolian material that costs hundreds of thousands, and you cut it open and find jade inside, it can be resold immediately for millions.
Of course, even if the material of jade is found during this cut, it may not necessarily be all jade inside. It may even be that just a little bit of jade is visible on the surface with this cut.
So if someone spends a lot of money to buy this piece of window material and continue cutting it, they may lose everything in the end.
This is the game between buyers and sellers. Buying is betting that there is still jade inside the window. Selling is betting that there is no jade inside.
And what Sun Shigui brought today was all stuff.
"Okay." Boss Zhang pointed at Sun Shigui's nose and said, "If you win, what do you want?"
Sun Shigui said unceremoniously: "If I win, I want you to close this shop and never step into the jade circle again!"
As soon as this statement came out, the melon-eaters present could not help but be stunned.
"Sun Shigui, you are talking like a lion!" Someone immediately retorted.
"Why is the lion talking so loudly? He is a liar. I am here today to eliminate harm for the people! To clear the door for gambling stone circles!" Sun Shigui said with great righteousness.
Boss Zhang's shop, not counting the rough stones inside, is worth at least four to five million.
From Sun Shigui's point of view, Boss Zhang's daring to stand up and fight was a desperate act with no way out, so he would definitely reject the conditions he proposed.
When the time comes, I will be able to overwhelm him in terms of momentum, so there is no harm in raising other conditions.
If the boss agrees to this, then he will take over this shop!
The wishful thinking in Sun Shigui's heart was crackling and flying.
"OK."
To Sun Shigui's surprise, Boss Zhang agreed without hesitation.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Sun Shigui's face.
He didn't believe there was any unknown Xiangshi genius in Lake City. This boss Zhang must have a false reputation.
"Boss Zhang, cool off!" Sun Shigui gave a thumbs up to Boss Zhang with a smile on his face.
But there was mockery in his eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Boss Zhang, tell me your conditions!"
Boss Zhang pointed to the spit that Sun Shigui had spit in front of the shop.
"I don't want anything from you. If you lose later, lick back the spit that stained my shop."
With Meng Yan in charge, Boss Zhang is not worried about what kind of trouble this Sun Shigui will cause.
"You!" Sun Shigui glared at Boss Zhang, grinding his teeth.
This is going too far!
"What's the matter? Don't you dare? If you don't dare, just go back and ask for permission. I have to sleep and I don't have time to fool around with you."
Boss Zhang acted calm and indifferent, as if he didn't take Sun Shigui seriously at all.
This look successfully angered Sun Shigui.
"Okay! I have the guts! I, Sun Shigui, have been living in Lake City for decades, and no one has dared to make such a request to me!" Sun Shigui laughed angrily.
Originally, it was just Boss Zhang who stole his business and the limelight. He wanted to step on him and tell him to get out of Lake City and earn some face for himself.
But Zhang's surname was that he was bullying people too much, so we can't blame him for being ruthless.
He had tampered with the materials he had brought.
He took several pieces of material after looking at them repeatedly to confirm that there was jade in them, and he also marked them, just in case he encountered a tough situation so as not to fall behind.
When he was so excited, he didn't care anymore.
Today, this person named Zhang must step down on his reputation as Sun Shigui!
After a while, several people hurriedly carried out a large table from Boss Zhang's shop, and a dozen rough stones were placed on it.
The three floors in front of Boss Zhang's shop are already crowded with people eating melons. Everyone comes to watch the competition between Boss Zhang, the rumored genius of Xiangshi, and Sun Shigui.
There is no doubt that the trick of changing stones cannot be done in full view of the public.
There were also a few enthusiastic people who moved out the stone cutting machines.
There is no doubt that in this competition, as long as the stone is chosen, there is no way to cheat.
Several policemen at the jade market also joined in the fun while maintaining order.
They are the police of the jade market, so they usually know something about the jade industry in Hu City.
They had already heard about Boss Zhang's rumors and Sun Shigui's reputation.
So instead of chasing people away to disperse the crowd, they now maintained order.
There are a few policemen around, so if someone loses or wins suddenly and suddenly gets stuck thinking about beating someone, they can immediately go up and hold them down.
This impromptu competition has developed to this moment and is actually very well protected.
Sun Shigui stretched out his hand and gestured to Boss Zhang in front of him.
"Boss Zhang, you are challenged by me, please go first."
When Boss Zhang heard this, he clasped his fists slightly: "Then I won't be polite."
After saying that, he stepped forward and looked at the materials on the table.
"That's right! Master Sun, let's number these stones." Boss Zhang suddenly said.
Hearing this, Sun Shigui couldn't help but wonder, just choose, why don't you worry about trouble with the number?
"Boss Zhang, what's the number for?"
"Oops." Boss Zhang scratched his head: "I'm not afraid of that. Some people won't admit it when they open the stone. Make a number and don't mix up the stone after a while."
"you!"
When Sun Shigui heard this, he clearly meant that he would default on the debt soon.
After being scolded again for no reason, the anger in his heart became even more intense.
"Okay, just make it up and give him the pen!"
At this moment, Sun Shigui had scolded Boss Zhang a thousand times in his heart.
"Humph, I'll make you cry later!"
When Boss Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He picked up the oil-based pen, glanced at Meng Yan, who was in the front row of the crowd opposite, and began to number on the stones.
"one two three……"
No more, no less, a total of twenty stones, all marked with numbers.
"Okay!" Boss Zhang threw the pen aside and glanced at Meng Yan.
