Happy Shennong

Chapter 242
Seeing that Lin Lei resolutely left without looking back, Mustache got anxious and hurried after him: "Hey boss, don't rush to leave, the price is negotiable."

Linley shook his head and said casually, "I would like to discuss it, but you obviously don't want to sell it, so I can't win people's love, can I?"

"Where is it? Of course I want to sell it. Come in, please come in, let's sit down and discuss in detail. By the way, don't you know the boss's name yet?"

Linley hesitated for a few seconds before entering the room.The two sat down and chatted a few off-topic words, and got to know each other for a while, and he knew that Xiao Huzi was the owner of this store and had been in the fruit tree seedling business for many years.It's just that the business has been mediocre, and I haven't made a lot of money.

Mustache's attitude was not bad, but Linley didn't care about anything, and insisted on only giving five thousand and eight, not adding a single point.

The two stalemate for several minutes, still can not reach an agreement.The mustache was really helpless, so he had no choice but to agree: "Hey, Boss Lin is worthy of being a businessman. He has a good way of bargaining, and I am convinced. We can talk quite well, so it's up to you, just treat it as a friend." .If you have business in the future, you should think of me more."

"no problem."

"Then you pay me a little deposit first, and I'll issue you a receipt." Mustache muttered while writing the receipt, "Boss Lin, you are also a big business person, and you care about such a small amount of money." ?”

"No, I'm just doing a small business, maybe I can't earn as much as you." Linley just smiled and didn't explain too much.

Thousands of dollars are really nothing to him now.

But his money is not something everyone can earn.If he meets a poor person, let alone eight thousand and eight, he is willing to give even eight thousand and eight thousand.But Xiao Huzi is also a small boss. Even if he doesn't make a lot of money, his life must be much better than that of ordinary people at the grassroots level.

Besides, at the price of five thousand and eight, the mustache will definitely not lose money.If it weren't for the rare opportunity, he wouldn't even pay this price.

In fact, just as he thought, at this moment, Mustache was still very pleased with himself.

A few years ago, he bought fifty apple saplings for 50 yuan and planted them in his own field.Since he was busy doing business to make money, he never cared about those apple trees since they were planted.Twenty trees died one after another, and only thirty trees are left to survive.

After moving, he didn't plan to have those apple trees anymore.It just so happened that Linley wanted to buy it, so he picked up more than 5000 yuan for nothing...

Linley looked at the receipt written by Mustache and felt that there was no problem, so he paid a deposit of 800 yuan and left his address.

Mustache promised that within three days at the latest, all thirty apple trees could be delivered to Linley.

It was almost noon now, Linley felt a little hungry, so he found a restaurant and ordered a bowl of dumplings.The two middle-aged men at the table next to each other had some good encounters and had a lively chat.After listening for a while, he realized that those two people were stone gambling enthusiasts.

The so-called gambling stone, also called gambling goods, is a professional term in the jewelry industry.It means that when the jadeite is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered skin. It is impossible to know whether it is good or bad. The quality of the jadeite can only be known after cutting.

When Linley was in school, he had learned about stone gambling in extracurricular books.As far as he knows, there is a saying in the stone gambling industry that "one knife is poor, one knife is rich", which describes the entertainment and investment aspects of stone gambling.

Depending on one's economic strength, one can spend hundreds, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of rough stone, and if it contains top-quality jadeite, one can make a fortune, and it is not impossible to become a rich man in an instant.But if you don't cut out something good, you may lose all your money and lose all your money.

Since it is a "gambling" stone, its nature is the same as gambling. Generally, it makes less money and loses more money.

But this business is like buying a lottery ticket. Although they know that the chances of cutting top-quality jade are very small, there are still many people involved in this business, and even do it full-time.

Judging from what the two men talked about, they seemed to be full-time stone gamblers.One of them earned more than [-] yuan today, and almost made up for the original loss this month, and was going to cut a few pieces after eating.But what excites them the most is not this.

What they were talking about was a man named Kong Yunzhou, who spent 5000 yuan to cut out a piece of top-quality jade yesterday, and the expert estimated it at 100 million!

Early this morning, this news spread in the Gambling Stone Market, causing a sensation.

When Linley heard this, he also became interested.As long as one's luck is good enough, the stone gambling industry can get money very quickly and quite a lot.He was just about to ask, but the two had already finished their meal and left the restaurant in a hurry.

He also quickly finished eating the dumplings, walked to the cashier, handed a 50 yuan bill to the honest-looking boss, and said casually, "You don't need to look for it."

"Uh...thank you, boss." The boss was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong.After thinking carefully about what Linley said, he finally confirmed it.

Linley waved his hand: "Can I ask you about someone?"

"Tell me." The boss is an honest person, and even took tips from others, so his attitude is not to mention how good he is.

"I just heard someone mention Kong Yunzhou, do you know who he is?"

"Kong Yunzhou? He is a celebrity in the stone gambling industry in this city. Almost everyone knows about stone gambling. Although I don't gamble, but the store is opposite the stone gambling market, so I don't know about it."

Linley looked outside, and sure enough, he found that across the street was the entrance of Gambling Stone Market.He looked back, gave the boss a cigarette, and continued to ask: "Can you tell me about Kong Yunzhou?"

"No problem." The boss nodded and said, "If Kong Yunzhou is said to be the second in the stone gambling industry in this city, then absolutely no one dares to say that he is the first. I heard that he cut out another top-quality piece worth millions yesterday. Jade, his reputation is bound to skyrocket again."

"Again? You mean, he made a lot of money before?"

"For Kong Yunzhou, making money by betting on rocks is a sure thing. He has never lost money at all, it's just a matter of making a small profit. Otherwise, he would not be able to become a legend in the stone gambling world in this city or even in this province. So far , the most valuable rough stone cut out in this city was sold for 500 million, which is his masterpiece a few years ago. Anyway, he can earn millions every year by gambling on stones. The 100 million worth of jadeite he cut out yesterday, Although it is the highest value cut out this year, before tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, he can cut out five or six yuan. Some people have done statistics, saying that the money he earned alone accounted for 5.00% of the stone gambling industry in this city. [-]% of gross profit."

Linley frowned and said, "There are still such powerful people? This is unscientific..."

After hearing about Kong Yunzhou's legendary deeds, Linley was indeed somewhat skeptical.

When it comes to serious gambling, there are individual people with superb skills, just like those in the God of Gamblers movie, who can indeed make a steady profit without losing money.But for stone gambling, there is no trick at all, and you can only rely on your own professional knowledge, experience and luck.And for these three things, there is no shortcut, no opportunism at all, and no way to get away with it.

In such a high "risk" industry as stone gambling, there are people who can make a steady profit without losing money?From the perspective of probability, it is indeed unscientific.

If Kong Yunzhou is really as powerful as the rumors say, then he must have something special.

The difficulty of becoming a legend in the stone gambling world seems to be higher than that of Zhong Wanlong and Hong Ying becoming legends in the business world.This caused Linley to have a strong interest in Kong Yunzhou. If there is a chance, he must get acquainted.

It's not to learn the stone gambling technique that people can make money without losing money, but to satisfy curiosity.Of course, if you can learn a little fur, it is also a good choice to cut a few rough stones to earn some pocket money.

The boss seemed to see what Linley was thinking, and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you are interested in gambling stones, you can cross the road to have a look. If you have spare money, you can also buy a few cheap rough stones to try your luck. But you You seem to be a novice, so you'd better control yourself and don't get addicted to it. Just like speculating in stocks, there are indeed people who have made a lot of money in the stone betting business, but there are not a few people who have lost their fortunes because of betting on stones."

"Thank you for the reminder. I'm purely curious, and I don't have the urge to try it yet. After all, betting on stones is gambling in essence, but it's legal. There are no two brushes, so it's best not to indulge in it."

"Hey... If my son had the same level of consciousness as you back then, he wouldn't... Hey!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The boss shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "A few years ago, my son owed a huge debt because of gambling stones. He was forced to go on an evil path and tied up a boss. As a result...he is still in prison. Staying there. It was easy for him to go in, but his mother suffered a stroke from anger and is still living in a mental hospital. In addition, he left me with a lot of debts. I sold the house , I couldn’t pay it off. I tried every means to open this restaurant and help him pay off his debt slowly..."

When it comes to the sad past, the boss is a big man, and he can't help being moved, and his eyes are moist.

Lin Lei couldn't bear it, so he took out another 1000 yuan and handed it to the boss: "You take this, don't think it's too little."

"No, no..." The boss waved his hands again and again, "You have already given a tip just now, how can I charge you again? Even if it is a tip, this is too much, right? You don't get paid for nothing."

"Boss, you misunderstood me. What I gave was not a tip at all. The few dozen yuan just now was my consultation fee for asking you for information. As for the 1000 yuan, it was a thank you fee for your kind reminder to me just now. For a stranger, you can give such a thoughtful reminder that you are a good person. And I always firmly believe that good people will eventually be rewarded!"

"Well..." The boss stood there blankly, hesitated for a while, and confirmed that Linley was not joking, then he nodded, took the money, bowed to Linley, and said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you! There will be good rewards, I will remember! Little brother, there are not many kind-hearted people like you nowadays."

Linley just waved his hands casually, but he was actually very excited.Because he finally thought of a way to repay the mysterious old man and senior Yuannong who gave him Shennong Tower!
