Chapter 11: First Gambling on Stones [3]

"What the lady said is that I am too persistent. That's right. If it were so easy to bet on a rise in value, wouldn't everyone be a millionaire? Okay, I'll buy these two pieces."

After changing it twice, Zhang Wufeng seemed stunned when he heard what the woman said. Then he smiled very honestly and said, subconsciously pushing up his glasses.

He was a little nearsighted before, but since the breakthrough of the Sky Eye more than a month ago, his vision has been completely restored, and now his vision is probably far more than 2.0! Although this is the best vision of ordinary people, Zhang Wufeng's vision is indeed a few points better than this.

After coming to his senses, he smiled awkwardly, looking a little silly.

The woman smiled with understanding, "Haha, seeing you like this, I know you're here to gamble your luck. Okay, do you want to try to open it? The fee is easy to negotiate. If you lose, the fee will be 200 yuan. If you win, the fee will be 1,000 yuan."

Zhang Wufeng thought for a moment and said expectantly, "Well, let's try to solve it."

As he was speaking, there was a sighing sound from the other side.

I only heard the boss Zhang say: "Alas, I didn't expect that this green was so clear when it was scratched, but there were some white lines inside. Miss Sun, this makes Zhang feel very sorry and ashamed."

"Boss Zhang, thank you for your concern. Haha, in fact, it's pretty good to have this. Although this green is not top-grade, it is worth eight or nine hundred thousand, which is not too much of a loss. Boss Zhang, there is no need to be nervous. When it comes to gambling on stones, if you dare to play, you must have the courage to take responsibility, right? Things like this are not something you can control, Boss Zhang, so there is no question of responsibility. In fact, you gave me this stone with the intention of letting me make some money. I understand this, that's all." The woman's voice was still very clear. After losing five hundred thousand in gambling, she remained calm. This is indeed quite courageous.

After all, even Zhang Wufeng didn't hear any regret in the other party's words, so Zhang Wufeng looked up to this arrogant woman again.

Although he was a homebody, Zhang Wufeng had met many wealthy people. Even his relatives, no matter how poor they were, either sold water heaters or were engaged in the sale of electrical appliances and motorcycles. Almost all of his father's brothers and sisters had a deposit of no less than 100 million yuan, but these people were indeed more stingy than a miser. Even his uncle, who ran a five-star hotel, was such a rich man that he was unwilling to donate about 100,000 yuan when the village asked him to pay for the road construction. In the end, the money for the road construction was divided equally among each household, and each household contributed 1,000 yuan on average. He was unwilling to pay the 1,000 yuan.

Thinking of these unpleasant things, Zhang Wufeng quickly stopped his thoughts. If he thought too deeply about these things, he would get angry, so it was better not to talk about them.

When he has made enough money, he will show these people what it means to be rich!

"Master, please cut these two stones." The woman had already walked over and saw that the master who was cutting the stones was temporarily relaxed, so she said immediately.

At this moment, Zhang Wufeng also noticed that the master who was cutting the stone was a white-haired old man in his seventies. His pair of bony hands looked very powerful, especially the protruding blue veins on the back of his hands and the thick calluses on his palms, which made people feel a little scared.

An old man of this age looks extremely energetic, and his eyes are not cloudy at all, but rather clear and transparent.

The sharp eyes, with a bit of majesty and calm wisdom, make people dare not underestimate him.

"This old man is full of energy and looks really extraordinary! But how can such an old man be just a stone-cutting master?" Zhang Wufeng was a little surprised, but then he was relieved. Real life is real life. Maybe this old man has some ability, but he still needs to support his family to live, right? Thinking of this, he was relieved.

"Xiao Liu, there is no way this kind of raw material can produce any jadeite. There is no need to solve this problem."

The old man looked at the two gray-white raw stones in front of him, and his white eyebrows could not help but slightly frowned, and then he looked unwilling to open them. "Master, this is not my own stone, Xiao Liu, it was bought by a customer. Here, this little brother is here to try his luck. Master, I have nothing to do anyway, so just open it and see." The woman with glasses said with a smile, her tone was a bit respectful and flattering.

"Oh, it belongs to a customer, so there's nothing wrong with unravelling it. Young man, how are you going to unravel this stone?" The old man asked gently with a kind smile.

"Master, I'm just a layman. I just came here to join in the fun. I don't know anything about these stones. You are very experienced. Just watch me cut them." Zhang Wufeng said with some respect.

Treating the elderly with respect is the most basic etiquette in dealing with people, and Zhang Wufeng will naturally not forget this.

"Okay. Of these two pieces, this one looks like it still has some hope." The old man looked at two stones that were less than the size of a basketball. One of them had a little green line in a depression. Although not much, it still showed some hope.

The old man adjusted the position of the stone and tried to cut it. Sand and rocks flew everywhere for a while, and the place where the stone was cut was grayish white. The old man cut it twice from the side again. After another burst of flying sand and rocks, not to mention a green dot, even a green star could not be seen. It was only grayish white.

“Haha, it looks like there’s no hope for this piece. But then again, the possibility of this kind of stone producing green is slim.” Miss Sun at the side did not leave, but watched intently. Apparently, when stones are being cut on the spot, no matter whether they are high-quality rough stones or low-quality rough stones, people are always enthusiastic to watch.

The old man took a look at it, shook his head slightly, and cut it a few more times horizontally and vertically. Suddenly, the stone became complete waste. Not to mention jade, there was not even a single green spot.

There was a burst of boos, and the people around were also communicating loudly. Obviously, although everyone understood this matter, they all had the mentality of betting on the winnings of the gamble, and now seeing that the bet failed again, they couldn't help but sigh a little.

A stone worth one million is money, and a stone worth one thousand is also money. After all, this is just a small gambling stone field, and no one is rich enough to ignore a thousand dollars.

"Master, please cut this piece slowly. Don't cut away all my hopes at once. Otherwise, I will cry." Zhang Wufeng said pitifully.

“Haha, young man, from the old man’s perspective, you’d better not hold out hope, just let nature take its course, and I’ll cut this old man carefully for you.”

The old man did not laugh at Zhang Wufeng for his embarrassment, but spoke very kindly.

Zhang Wufeng is a master at observing people's words and expressions. After opening his third eye, he can quickly analyze the truth and emotions from other people's words. Therefore, he has a little more respect for this old man.

But everyone around him burst into laughter because of Zhang Wufeng's words.

Yes, if a thousand-dollar item is cut off in two cuts, it is really disappointing. But what can you expect from this white-gray raw stone? Poor people are poor people, they always hope to get rich overnight!

Miss Sun glanced at Zhang Wufeng from time to time, and it seemed that she was more interested in this poor boy.
