The floor of the crystal shop is filled with rubble and debris.
Dong Xuebin walked to the pile of natural crystal rough stones in the corner and squatted down. He reached out and picked up a rough stone weighing four or five kilograms. He weighed it and looked in through a small window that had been opened on the side of the rough stone. The crystal was
It is colorless, very clear and clean, and looks very good. But of course Dong Xuebin understands that generally the store will grind a small window in the best position of the original crystal stone, so that people can see it very well, but other places are not.
It’s not guaranteed, and it’s often far from what you imagined. “Boss, how do you sell this piece?”
The fat boss, who was sweeping up the debris with a broom, raised his head and said, "Oh, this one is ten thousand."
Dong Xuebin pointed to an amethyst rough stone with no window open, "Where's this one?"
"Thirty-five thousand."
"What about citrine?"
"This portion is huge, it costs 40,000 yuan."
Dong Xuebin asked about better and more expensive crystal rough stones, so that the probability of getting a good crystal would be slightly higher. After roughly determining the target, Dong Xuebin put his hand into his pocket and turned on the music on his iPhone 4, pretending to be a phone ring.
The phone rang, and then he picked up the phone and chatted a few words, and finally put down the phone and said to the fat boss: "Boss, I want to bet a few crystals, but there is something urgent at home that urges me to go back. If you can unravel the stones faster, I will
Just buy a few pieces, if it’s slow, forget it.”
When he heard that there was a business, how could the fat boss let it go and said, "Quick, I'm always good at solving stones. You choose the stone."
"Okay, these two amethysts, that citrine, and those colorless crystals and pink quartz."
"Let me do the math." The fat boss took the calculator and clicked, "It's a total of 162,000. Well, I'll give you 160,000."
Dong Xuebin took out wads of money from his bag and at the same time clicked on his phone to start the countdown - 360 seconds.
The fat boss saw that Dong Xuebin was a layman. He didn't expect him to take out 160,000 gambling stones so easily. He said with emotion that young people nowadays are really rich, and then put the money in the money printing machine at hand.
One lap, ten thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, front and back,... OK, the money is right."
312 seconds left.
Dong Xuebin said urgently: "Let's unscramble the stone. You don't need to sharpen it with a knife. Just cut it open according to the worst side."
The fat boss was stunned and said, "Oh, that might be a waste of materials. Think about it."
"I've thought about it, you can cut it quickly."
There are 303 seconds left.
The fat boss had promised him in advance, and now he moved very quickly. He rolled up his sleeves and squatted in front of a colorless crystal stone. He opened the cutter and held it in his hand. He touched the stone and selected a side, and then he started dirtying it.
It seemed like there was a layer of soil hanging on the surface of the rough stone, and the knife fell heavily on it!
Squeak, squeak! Squeak, squeak! The cutter gradually penetrates deep into the inner layer of the original stone!
280 seconds left!
Dong Xuebin clenched his fists anxiously, hurry up, hurry up!
Squeak! The cutter made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the rough stone! Suddenly, the gear idled and then stopped!
The side of the colorless crystal rough stone was cut, and the surface was smooth and beautiful, but there seemed to be a small black-gray stain close to the cut surface. The fat boss blinked and wiped it with his fingers, but it didn't go away.
"It's not the surface that's dirty, it's the impurities inside. It's a pity." The rough stones with impurities are the worst. The stone bought for 10,000 yuan is basically worthless.
Dong Xuebin cursed in his heart and immediately said: "Don't worry about this, just open the next one!"
"Okay." The fat boss turned around slightly and pointed the cutter at the next rough citrine stone.
241 seconds left!
Dong Xuebin rubbed his hands nervously and prayed, come out quickly, this piece will be good, there must be no impurities!
Squeak, squeak, the second piece of citrine was quickly cut across the entire side - there were no impurities, but the yellow color was not the mango yellow exposed through the small window before, but a light yellow that could not be lighter, even
It is close to the concept of colorless crystal. This citrine cost Dong Xuebin 30,000 yuan, but now it is not even worth 10,000 yuan!
damn it!
Dong Xuebin gritted his teeth and said: "Open the next one!"
195 seconds left!
Squeak, squeak, squeak! The third pink crystal begins to be cut!
This time, there may be something wrong with the angle of the fat boss's knife. One stroke of the knife failed to cut the entire side, but only cut out a large window diagonally. Dong Xuebin and the fat boss took a closer look, and saw that the smooth cutting surface was
Fine bubbles were printed, densely packed and occupying a large area - they collapsed again!
Dong Xuebin was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said, "Come again!"
There are 141 seconds left on the clock, and there are still two expensive amethysts left in the original stone.
132 seconds…
112 seconds…
98 seconds…
Dong Xuebin saw many people cutting rough stones here today. He thought that other people's luck was bad enough, but he thought that his luck was countless times worse than those people. The small piece he bought for 35,000 yuan
The inside of the amethyst was quickly exposed, and the quality... could not be described in words. A deep crack and two dirty cracks with black lines were simply too horrible to look at!
Only the last big piece of amethyst is left!
There are still 88 seconds left!
Seeing the fat boss's questioning look, Dong Xuebin, who was extremely depressed, said: "Let's go! Continue!" It's so unlucky! Isn't your luck too bad today?
The fat boss was not surprised by this. He knew his own stones. These rough crystal stones were collected from a processing factory of a friend in the south. They were almost all miscellaneous materials and some inferior rough stones that others could not sell. They could be opened.
It’s crazy if it goes up a lot. Oh, of course, the possibility of good material is not ruled out, but when no scientific instrument can detect the condition inside the rough stone, who can know which piece of material is good? No one can!
76 seconds…
52 seconds…
47 seconds…
The last amethyst came out - but it was more of a colorless crystal than amethyst. The color inside was almost transparent, with a faint dirty gray in some places - and it collapsed again.
!
Dong Xuebin was so angry that his 160,000 yuan was so wasted. He didn’t even know what to say!
It’s over? That’s it?
That’s right! There’s still time! There’s still 39 seconds left!
Dong Xuebin didn't care about picking stones anymore. He pointed at a large rough stone at the feet of the fat boss and said, "Please open another one!"
The fat boss looked down and said, "This is fifty thousand."
Dong Xuebin said anxiously: "You drive first, I will pay you later!"
The fat boss hesitated and said, "This is also a small business..."
"I don't have that much cash with me anymore." Dong Xuebin took out his pocket and photographed his ID card on the display stand. "Here is your ID card. I will go to the bank to withdraw money for you later, okay?"
The fat boss thought that he was quite generous, so he probably wouldn't be short of such a small amount of money, so he nodded lightly.
24 seconds left!
Dong Xuebin only has the last 60,000 yuan left in his bank card. If this crystal can't be used well, if the back can't be accumulated or used continuously, then he will really go bankrupt!
Squeak, squeak!
13 seconds left!
Dong Xuebin looked at his phone frequently, "Please hurry up!"
The fat boss put more force on his hands and cut the rough stone hard, one centimeter...two centimeters...three centimeters...
8 seconds left!
6 seconds left!
5 seconds left!
No time! It’s too late!
Just in the last three seconds when Dong Xuebin was about to say back, squeak! The debris on the side of the original stone was cut to the ground!
It’s out!!
Dong Xuebin glanced over!
"Is this...fajing?" The fat boss was stunned.
"Ah?" Dong Xuebin said in astonishment: "The kind with hair inside!?"
"Yeah, hey! This is valuable!" With this quality, this size, and this transparency, the fat boss never thought that such a good rough crystal could be found in his batch of leftovers!
Dong Xuebin was stunned and didn't dare to delay anymore, back!back!back!back!back!back!
