Chapter 424: Gambling on stones, 22!
Chapter 424: Gambling on stones, two million and two hundred thousand!
"170,000, I want 170,000!"
"Boss Qiu, you want to get this piece of rough material for only 170,000 yuan? Your offer is too stingy! The lowest price is 200,000 yuan. Just ask if you want it. Even if it only looks like this, you can make jade jewelry with it and it will be worth it!" said a fat man with a small eye and a dark face with disdain.
"Two hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand, then keep gambling!" Boss Qiu said with disdain.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, I want it!" said a handsome young man.
"Okay, Mr. Niu, then this piece of raw material is yours." The fat man with small eyes and dark face said with a smile.
When it comes to gambling on stones, he always only does half of the business, because if he gambles all of it, once he loses, he will have no way out.
He knew that he was different from those big bosses, and he made a great determination to use the initial capital to do this. He also knew that one must not be greedy when doing this, so every time he gambled on stones, he only bet half, even if the market was good.
This approach has saved him from bankruptcy many times, and the possibility of betting on an increase in price is always low.
"Well, I'll ask Old Xu to transfer the money to you. You go talk to Old Xu. I'll continue to cut the stone now." The young man said proudly. As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at a man and a woman who were dressed shabbily not far away from him. After his eyes roamed around the woman, he immediately retracted them.
"Old Li, let's get started."
"Okay, Niu Shao."
Old Li started to polish the stone with a smile. Although this young master Niu was always generous, he had a problem. He would not let go of any rough material and would never cut it. Instead, he would directly polish the stone from beginning to end. It took a lot of time and was not only tiring, but he also had to look at it carefully after polishing it. It was simply a torture for him.
In front of such a person, the experience of the stone polishing and stone breaking master is completely useless, so this is a very unpleasant thing, but there is no way, the other party has money.
Money makes the world go round, not to mention that this Niu Shao is more than just rich.
Although he was dissatisfied, it was unwise to offend such a person, so Lao Li could only wipe it with a smile.
The grinding wheel made a hissing sound and turned rapidly, causing dust to fly up and sparks to fly everywhere, just like the scene of electric welding.
Although experience is of little use, it is still easy to grasp where to rub carefully and where to rub seriously. Therefore, after more than ten minutes, the raw material was almost rubbed.
"The bet has gone up, Master Niu, congratulations!"
"Well, it's worth more than 400,000 yuan. If it's made into jade jewelry, it will be worth about one million yuan. Not bad." Niu Shao said carelessly. He didn't care if he won, and he wouldn't frown if he lost. Perhaps it was just to leave a beautiful impression in the eyes of the beautiful women present.
"Excessive secretion of hormones and sperm in the brain." Li Xuan evaluated in his heart. He never took people who hypocritically showed themselves at this time to heart. This was not contempt, but he felt that such people were too naive. They didn't know at all that ability was not gained by showing off like this, and goodwill was not gained by having others think you are great. Instead, it was that you looked rubbish, but suddenly your performance shocked others. This was the real strength and excellence.
Still waters run deep; masters are lonely.
A truly outstanding person will not be easily discovered by others. Only through constant polishing over time will he gradually reveal himself.
"Brother, lady, are you here to gamble on stones as well?" Niu Shao asked enthusiastically. He looked very gentlemanly, but his yellow eyes and unsteady steps betrayed him deeply.
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded without saying anything more. In the eyes of the crowd, who either looked down on him or disdained him, he handed over the piece of waste material in his hand and said calmly, "Master, please unravel this piece of raw material."
"Well, okay." After all, Old Li is a person immersed in the antique and gambling stone industry. He has some experience in judging people. As soon as he took one look at Li Xuan, he knew that this young man wearing street stall goods had a temperament that could not be matched by anyone else in the field. This was a kind of silent suppressive power.
This is not to say that Li Xuan is very eye-catching, but that he behaves very ordinary. It's just that Old Li himself feels that this person is like a piece of top-grade jade and has spiritual energy.
Of course, he felt it, but Lao Li would not say it directly. Instead, he said with a smile: "Okay, little brother, do you want to cut it first and then break it, or do you want to start from the beginning?"
Lao Li did not sarcastically say that it was rubbish. Everyone has their own ideas about gambling on stones. Even if it is really rubbish, saying it to someone's face is like slapping them in the face, which is a very unclassy thing to do.
Others are full of hope and expectation, but you, a stone-cutting master, say, "This is rubbish, it's impossible, give up the idea of getting rich overnight--" I guess, if you say that, if the bet goes up, it would be a slap in the face, and if the bet fails, the gambler will be penniless, and he might even kill someone in anger.
At this moment, Old Li also thought in his heart that this was really a piece of waste raw material, and the words "shit" were not enough to describe it as garbage, but would he say it out loud?
Anyway, he charges a fee for cutting the stone, which doesn’t matter. As long as he makes money, he doesn’t care about anything else.
"Little brother, you are a waste. Don't hold out any hope."
"Yeah, there's no way this is available, just treat it as entertainment."
"That's right. At your age, you'd better go home and nurse. Can a poor person like you afford to gamble on stones?"
……
Some say this, some say that; some say good things, and some say bad things.
However, Li Xuan turned a deaf ear to all this noise.
"Master, cut a third of the way from the left, and then cut the remaining two fifths of the way from the right." Li Xuan said calmly.
"If you cut it like this, it will damage the jade, right? Are you sure you want to cut it this way?"
"Well, just cut it like this!"
"Ok."
Old Li said no more and cut at the left third with a knife. Stone powder splashed out immediately. Old Li did not even look at whether there was any green on the cut. In his opinion, was it necessary to look at it?
Then he made another cut two-fifths of the way to the right.
Although he didn't watch it, he still judged the situation very accurately. Although there was a slight deviation, it was insignificant.
"Uh, it looks like there are green stripes."
"Yeah, a line!"
"strangeness!"
"Such a large piece of waste has green veins in it? Maybe there really is green."
"Indeed, Lao Li, wipe it quickly!"
……
A group of people started talking at once.
Leng Hanyin didn't say a word from beginning to end. The ugly faces of the people here were really vivid. Of course, there were good ones, but there were more bad ones. Are all the people who come here to gamble on stones so narrow-minded and like to take advantage of others' misfortunes?
When these people saw the green veins, they all booed. What does this mean? Do they have to be happy when they see other people's rough materials fail? The higher the price others pay, the more excited they are when they see their rough materials fail?
Leng Hanyin was very unhappy. At this moment, she wished that those people who had been sarcastic and looked down upon her before would be astonished when they saw that this piece of waste had turned into green.
"I don't want to come to this place every time. It's so disappointing. It's better to watch more touching videos. Even if I live in a virtual world, it will feel more comfortable than now." Leng Hanyin said to herself.
"Wow, Yang Lu, oh my god!"
"Wow, this is the best!" "The bet has gone up! The bet has gone up!"
……
Just as she was thinking about it, the crowd suddenly made a commotion. Leng Hanyin looked up at the waste, and suddenly, a hint of green similar to spinach appeared in her eyes.
This... this is indeed at least Yang Lu...
Leng Hanyin was shocked. The muscles on her face twitched slightly. She looked at Li Xuan, whose face was still calm, with some disbelief. The shock in her eyes was extremely strong.
In her opinion, this piece of green alone is indeed estimated to be worth around one million to one million and two hundred thousand.
Although there is not much green and it is not big, it is valuable enough.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of a saying, 'Planning in the tent can lead to victory thousands of miles away.'
This man also has such a kind of temperament. If that's the case, then the Dzi Bead... must be an extraordinary thing.
Suddenly, looking at those people with green eyes, looking at those people who had said sarcastic words before but now kept praising Li Xuan for his good luck and good vision, she suddenly felt that this scene was really refreshing and powerful.
"One million and two hundred thousand, one million and two hundred thousand. I'll buy it!" Niu Shao spoke again.
Li Xuan glanced at him and ignored his words. Instead, he said to Old Li, "Master, try wiping the right side as well."
"OK, all right."
Old Li immediately narrowed his eyes and began to wipe it carefully.
This small place, with over a million people, how could one not be excited? His hands began to tremble with excitement, but when he wiped them, it had no effect.
"呲呲-"
Sparks flew, dust rose, and the stone foam on the right was blown away in one breath, revealing a piece of the same spinach green. Although the exposed part was only the size of a ping-pong ball, the trend of spreading clearly illustrated the problem.
"For this, I'll offer two million and two hundred thousand!" Niu Shao bid again.
"Okay, this thing is yours!" Li Xuan said happily.
Originally, he didn't want to cheat anyone, but since a sucker had come, there was no point in saying anything. Moreover, Li Xuan didn't feel any guilt towards such a person.
This piece of waste is indeed a bit useless. Although it is the only one with something valuable in the pile of waste, it only contains two small pieces of jadeite with good purity. It is far from the transparent stuff with green at both ends.
Therefore, its value is not much different from Li Xuan's estimate of 1.2 million. This is the approximate price of the jewelry after deducting the handling fee. If we only consider the price of the jade itself, it will not exceed 600,000 at most.
So, this time, Niu Shao has actually suffered a loss.
"Old Xu, go transfer the money to him."
Next to Niu Shao, there was a middle-aged man with a notebook. Upon hearing what he said, he immediately started to communicate with Li Xuan.
"Do you have a bank card?" Leng Hanyin asked.
"Yes, I did it yesterday." Li Xuan said.
"Well, that's good." Leng Hanyin said.
As they were talking, Old Xu came over, asked about Li Xuan's account number and other things, then directly logged into the online bank to transfer the money. Although the amount was large, it was actually nothing for such a super client.
A moment later, two million and two hundred thousand arrived in the account, and Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
The stone was sold halfway, so he didn't have to pay for the stone cutting. So he smiled at Leng Hanyin and said, "Let's go shopping!"
"Uh, okay!"
Leng Hanyin was startled, and immediately followed Li Xuan out.
"Uh, you two, don't you want to look at the polished stone? Maybe it will turn out to be imperial green!" Niu Shao said helplessly.
He was betting on this thing, of course, because he was attracted by the spinach green color, but he also wanted to poach the woman. He wanted the woman to be impressed by his generosity and generosity, but he didn't want her to leave after he bought her things.
"No need, I hope Mr. Niu will win the imperial green!" Li Xuan replied calmly.
"...Okay, come to me anytime if you have good materials. Old Xu, give the young master's business card to him."
"Yes, Master..."
Li Xuan took the gold-embossed business card handed over by Lao Xu and saw the words "General Manager of Niushi Group" on it. When he and Leng Hanyin walked past the corner of the street, he flicked the business card with his hand. It flew like a dart and directly into the interior of a big tree nearly ten meters away on the opposite side, disappearing without a trace.
"...You must be the legendary martial arts master. This move is truly powerful!" Leng Hanyin was shocked again.
"I just felt like ejaculating, so I ejaculated. It's nothing." Li Xuan answered casually.
There was some ambiguity in this statement, but Li Xuan didn't have the mind to think that way, but Leng Hanyin still blushed.
"Why don't you continue reading? Maybe it really is imperial green." Leng Hanyin asked.
"What imperial green? They're just two small balls of Yang Green, worth about 600,000. Even if it's designed without regard to cost and made into jewelry, it would only be around 1.8 million. He will lose at least 500,000." Li Xuan said casually.
"You are ruthless and awesome! I admire you. So, Mr. Wizard, how much is the Dzi Bead worth?"
Leng Hanyin really admired him very much. This person could no longer be described as a genius. Perhaps a monster would be more appropriate.
"Dzi beads? This thing is a priceless treasure!" Li Xuan said casually.
"Priceless treasure? Priceless? Are you kidding?" Leng Hanyin was shocked again.
"Is it necessary to lie to you? This thing can bring good luck and avoid disaster, it is indeed priceless, and it contains energy that can make people calm. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Xuan explained.
"Then...are you going to give this to my dad?" Leng Hanyin's voice trembled a little.
She expects a positive answer, not because of the value, but because it represents her weight in the other person's heart.
That's why she seemed very excited and nervous.
