The destination of Lei Xiaoluo and Huang Yuchu's trip was Tengchong, known as the Emerald City. This place has been a distribution center for jade trading since ancient times. It lasted for hundreds of years during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Eight hours later, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the car stopped at the largest jade trading market. In addition to various grades of jade, stone gambling is also the main business here.
Lei Xiaoluo slept all the way and was in good spirits when he woke up.
Huang Yuchu came here with the idea of making a fortune. He is not in a bad spirit. He is not in a hurry to buy goods because there is never a shortage of goods here. If you buy in a hurry, you will have to pay a high price. It is necessary to understand the market first.
It's different when it comes to betting on stones. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. It would be a pity if someone bought the good gambling material early.
After a simple breakfast, the appraiser stayed in the hotel to rest. Huang Yuchu and Lei Xiaoluo couldn't wait to walk into the market.
There are shops selling rough stones everywhere. There are even many placed directly on the roadside in the open air. These street stalls are just piles of rubbish stones. Some of them are selling for hundreds of thousands or millions. People who don’t know about stone gambling will definitely feel it. Very surprised.
Lei Xiaoluo calmly took a photo of himself. Looking at it, most of these rough stones had some green spots. He illuminated them with a strong flashlight, and more or less green was revealed.
This is normal. If you can't see any green at all, who would dare to take action?
However, it is difficult for more than 90% of the rough diamonds to go up. The remaining 2%, most of them just lose no money and make no profit. The rough diamonds that go up are very rare.
The market is huge and there are all kinds of rough stones, which makes people feel dizzy.
The two of them walked forward and looked at more than a dozen stalls. No rough stone could arouse Lei Xiaoluo's interest.
In his opinion, if you make less money, you have already lost money. Not to mention that if you don’t make money, you will lose money. If you lose time, you will lose money.
There are gradually more and more people in the market. The light of flashlights can be seen everywhere. All kinds of bargaining sounds come and go.
A thin man in his thirties, holding a large vase over ninety centimeters tall, walked over in a hurry. People on the road hurriedly gave way.
The thin man had a sinister eyebrow and an anxious expression on his face. It was just the shining eyes that gave him away.
Lei Xiaoluo noticed something was wrong. Huang Yuchu pulled him and whispered: "Stay away from him who touches porcelain. Anyone who touches you will stick to him. Those who play with this skill should stay away from the market. It’s not unusual at all. Everyone is avoiding it.”
"Since everyone knows, it's still a big deal." Lei Xiaoluo expressed his extreme disdain for the thin man's actions.
Huang Yuchu said with a smile: "Everyone knows that cutting cakes is a scam. Aren't they still selling it? Everyone knows that the winning message is a scam. But if you can't stand it, some people will be fooled. Among 10,000 or even 100,000 people, as long as there are A person who doesn’t know that this is a trick of a scammer will make a profit once they fall for it. People come and go here, and there are mostly foreigners. Who can guarantee that everyone knows.”
Yes. Once someone is fooled, even if the people around them are like a mirror, no one will stand up to expose the scammer's conspiracy. Instead, they will watch the victim being fooled with complete peace of mind.
The two people escaped in time. The thin man did not give up and continued to move forward quickly.
At this time, an old man who was squatting on the ground looking at the rough stones stood up. The thin man felt that an opportunity had come.
It was indeed an opportunity. After the old man stood up, he subconsciously took a step back. Then he turned around and wanted to go to the next stall.
It was too late, then it was too late. The thin man suddenly bumped into the old man.
The old man staggered when he was hit. Then there was a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground. Then the thin man looked up to the sky and shouted: "My Qianlong official kiln. I can exchange this for life-saving money."
After saying that, he grabbed the old man's collar and said preemptively: "Old guy, why did you stand up suddenly? Why didn't you take a look before turning around? You bumped into me, you know."
The old man accepted the loss. When he stood up, he was considering whether to counter-offer with the boss. The rough stone he just looked at was in good quality.
"I'm really sorry." The old man said sincerely.
As soon as he heard the word "sorry", the thin man immediately understood. Pointing to the porcelain fragments on the ground, he said: "This is the official kiln of Qianlong. It was handed down from our ancestors. My father is in the hospital and is waiting for money. It was agreed upon for fifteen years." Wan was sold to Hong Kong customers. Since you hit me, just pay for it."
A group of onlookers quickly gathered around. They pointed at the thin man and the old man. Some of them were obviously in the same group as the thin man. One of them shouted loudly: "I broke someone else's things. Of course I have to pay for it." .This vase looks very expensive. Brother, you only sold it for 150,000 yuan in the Qianlong official kiln. It’s too cheap.”
The thin man immediately said: "If my father hadn't been waiting for an operation and needed money urgently, I wouldn't have sold it. I could have just kept it for three to five years. Let alone 150,000 or 300,000 yuan."
After the vase was broken, the bottom of the vase was still intact. The blue "Made in the Qianlong Year" inscription in the middle was very clear.
The old man smiled. Pointing to the fragments on the ground, he said: "Young man, don't lie. This is not the official Qianlong kiln of yours. It was clearly imitated during the Republic of China. It was only a few decades ago. The quality and shape are imitations." It’s just an appearance. You can tell it’s fake at a glance.”
"You're talking nonsense. This was left by my grandfather's grandfather. How could it be from the Republic of China?" The thin man became anxious. Several guys in the group also began to question the old man's words and accused him one after another.
The old man's face turned red. He took out an ID card from his pocket and said, "I am a professor in the history department of Kunming University. I am a national first-class appraiser. Can't you look at this crap?"
The thin man was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to meet someone who understood. He knew best whether the bottle was real or fake.
When the onlookers heard that he was an appraiser, they all expressed support for the old man.
The thin man's helpers were obviously a little less powerful in terms of power. But he still refused to let go of the old man's collar and shouted at him to pay for it. Otherwise, he would call the police station.
These people are in league with the local police. Not only will they not be able to uphold justice, but they will also side with these people and blackmail the victims. This is not news either.
Of course the old man would not go to the police station with them.
Huang Yuchu was originally not interested in this kind of onlookers, but Lei Xiaoluo insisted on dragging him over to watch. Moreover, he squeezed in from the back to the front.
"Xiao Lei, what's so interesting here? Let's go see the rough stones." Huang Yuchu suggested.
"Don't worry. Let's wait and see. Let's see how they sing in the next scene." Lei Xiaoluo's eyes were fixed on the complete bottom of the vase, as if he had seen some gambling material that could increase the value.
Huang Yuchu shrugged. He thought that you, Xiao Lei, are also a common person. You actually like to watch such farce.
