Tianyan Jianbao

Chapter 242

"Youngest, why do I feel a little nervous in my heart? This stone is not mine either."

The third child's abandonment attracted several dissatisfied eyes, as if the middle-aged man hadn't started cutting stones yet, it was all because of the third child.

In fact, all the onlookers have this kind of heart, just like betting on poker, before the announcement of the six high-stakes games, both the spectators and the parties involved can't help but feel nervous.

"Third brother, this is the charm of gambling on stones. If you cut it down, the stone may be worth millions, or it may become worthless. This is a game played by the rich."

Wang Haoming calmly answered the third child, but Wang Haoming didn't realize that he had already stepped into this game circle.

When the few people were talking, the middle-aged man was still observing the crack, with a nervous expression on his face. It seemed that the 82 yuan was not a small amount for him. After about 5 In about a minute, the middle-aged man put his hand on the stone cutter, and was finally ready to dissect the stone.

With the sound of "chacha" produced by the friction between the saw gear and the stone, although it is impossible to see the situation inside from such a distance, the hearts of the onlookers are still hanging, and a pair of eyes are fixed on the place where the saw tooth cuts. .

Suddenly, the middle-aged man raised the saw teeth on the stone cutter, and the idling saw teeth made a "chi chi" sound. Everyone thought it was green, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Pour some water."

The middle-aged man gave an order, and Yang Hao, who was waiting next to him, quickly used the watering can in his hand to wash away all the debris beside the incision. He fiddled with the broken stones, and squatted there to observe carefully, but his face was obviously not very good-looking.

Wang Haoming smiled inwardly as he watched from the side. It would be a waste of effort to cut from the crack, even if the piece of wool is divided into two, there will be no trace of green.

"Looks like it's broken."

"Yeah, the risk of breaking the bank is very high."

"Don't talk nonsense, the stone hasn't been untied, and the gods don't know whether it is up or down, maybe there is green on the side."

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion among the onlookers. These people were jade merchants from all over the country. They were experienced in betting on stones, and they expressed their opinions and said everything.

"Okay, stop arguing, and start to dissect the stone again."

The originally steady hands of the middle-aged man were trembling slightly at this moment. Obviously, the middle-aged man was not optimistic about the incision just now, and he might already be regretting it in his heart.

It seemed that he had made up his mind. After turning on the stone cutter, the middle-aged man didn't hesitate any longer, and cut it down with force with his hands. With the sound of "chacha", the whole piece of wool was split in two from the middle.

"Ugh…"

Huge sighs came from the surrounding crowd. Obviously, there was no green on the cut surface on both sides of the wool. Generally, the bet on cracked stones is whether the crack is deep or not. If there is no emerald in the cracked place, Basically scrapped.

This performance now shows that this stone has lost the bet.

"Impossible, it's impossible, how can there be no trace of green in the wool with pine flower skin?"

The middle-aged man couldn't believe the scene he saw. He forgot to turn off the stone cutter in his hand, and he kept muttering to himself. His eyes looking at the wool on the ground under the lens revealed all The look of disbelief.

"More than 80 yuan just disappeared?"

Not only the middle-aged people, but the old couple around Wang Haoming were also shocked. This is more than 80 yuan. The couple don't eat or drink, and they don't necessarily have so much for a lifetime salary. In just a few minutes, it disappeared.

"The rest of the material can be gambled." Wang Haoming said in a low voice.

"Can you still gamble? There is no green from the crack, it is just a piece of waste, who is willing to spend money to gamble."

A person next to Wang Haoming interjected, and the people next to him nodded repeatedly. This is the cruelty of betting on stones. If you get green, you will be worth a hundred times immediately, but if you lose the bet, it will be worthless immediately.

Wang Haoming's heart moved when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything, and continued to talk to the middle-aged man in the venue.

The middle-aged man also came back to his senses at this moment, his face was ashen, he bent his body, and almost stuck the glasses lens to the cut surface of the cut half of the wool, and carefully observed the white crystal substance on the cut surface. After a while, Gu Shaking his head uselessly, he just sat down on the dirt.

"The wool of the pine flower can still be wiped."

Yang Hao reminded in a low voice next to him that the first piece of wool on the stall was ruined, which would have a great impact on Yang Hao's subsequent sales.

Yang Hao's words seemed to remind the middle-aged man, the man got up quickly, without Yang Hao's help, that somewhat thin body actually carried the half of the wool weighing seventy or eighty catties to the stone cutter , The fire of hope was rekindled in the eyes.

But this rubbing of stones also ended in failure. It was five or six centimeters thick from the pine flower, and there was still no green. At this time, there was another loud sigh from the crowd, and some people had already turned and left.

The middle-aged man was still unwilling to give up. After looking at the cut surface of the wool for a while, he turned the wool over and cut it from the cut surface again, cutting the wool that was originally divided into two into three sections.

"It's green, it's green."

After the knife went down, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to look at the woolen cut surface, and shouted loudly, but the voice gradually changed to be among the people present.

Only Wang Haoming knew the reason. This knife cut out some scattered jadeite under the Songhua, but it couldn't be connected, so it was still worthless.

"It's okay to plant, the water head is very average, and it can barely reach the dry green seed, but there is no surface and no line, and there is not much emerald to be dug out."

After hearing the middle-aged man's shout, several people in the circle stepped forward one after another, and began to observe the section. After looking at it for a while, they all shook their heads and retreated.

At this time, a jade merchant who was originally watching the excitement said, "My friend, I paid you 5 yuan for the green half wool. How about it? Can you sell it?"

Judging from the performance of the cut surface of this piece of wool, some emeralds can be dug out to make some pendants.

The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the words. He really didn't have the courage to cut it any further. Judging from the performance of this aspect, it is difficult to get a group of emeralds inside. .

"Three yuan, 10 yuan is all yours."

The middle-aged man can afford to put it down, and after calming down for a while, he walked out of the shadow of failure, put together the three cut pieces of wool, and said to the jade merchant who made the price, anyway, it is already If you lose, you can earn a little bit back.

Hearing this, the jade dealer carefully inspected the three pieces of wool, and put aside the half of the gray and crystallized wool after the second cut, then pointed to the remaining two pieces of wool, and said to the middle-aged man: " I only need these two yuan, 6 yuan.”

The price offered by the jade merchant is very fair. From the green wool in front of him, he can only take out some emeralds for pendants at most, and the value is about [-] to [-]. When it comes down, it can be regarded as a bet that there will be some green in the half of the wool.

You must know that there are three kinds of people in the current Pingzhou Jade Fair.

One is like Luo Feng, who does not cut stones and does not understand stones.Only buy wool with good performance and hoard it, waiting for the price of rough stone to rise.

The second type is represented by the middle-aged man in front of him. He came here specifically to gamble on stones. If the bet goes up, his worth will double.

There is another kind of person, that is, the jade merchants who bid just now. They are often making jade articles for ordinary people.Of course, most of these jade merchants also have their own jade carving factories, and they are also the biggest consumers of these woolen jadeites.

Therefore, whenever there is news of someone cutting stones, these people will rush in, and the price will be raised on the spot if the bet rises. You must know that because the Myanmar government restricts the export of rough stones, many domestic jade shops are facing the problem of raw materials being hidden. lack of phenomenon.

So generally, as long as the wool that is not a shitty place is sold, it will be snatched up by these jade merchants.Comparatively speaking, jade wares are also divided into grades and grades in terms of price, and each has its own consumer groups.

It may be that the price given by this jade merchant is very fair.The middle-aged man waited for a while.Seeing that no one was willing to make an offer, he nodded and said, "Just 6 yuan, and you can take these two yuan."

The person who looked like a jade dealer waved his hand after hearing this, and a young man with a black bag squeezed over, took out $[-] money with a bank seal from the bag, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's expression was very bad, he didn't count the money after receiving it, and stuffed it directly into the bag he brought, looking at the piece of wool that still belonged to him on the ground, his face was uncertain.

When the middle-aged man stood there hesitating, Wang Haoming stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you still sell the little wool you have left?"

Wang Haoming's words caused boos from the surrounding crowd, and even the middle-aged man was a little shocked.

You know, don't look at these jade merchants who spend a lot of money to buy wool, but they all buy the green material, like the wool on the ground, there is no green from the incision on both sides, basically it is waste. No money would be spent on this kind of wool.

The reason why the middle-aged man was stunned at this piece of wool just now was that he didn’t know how to deal with it. Throw it away. It’s a pity. If you continue to cut it, the middle-aged man can’t save face. It’s obvious that the waste has to be cut. .

"Sell it, why not sell it, 4 yuan, if you want it, take it away."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the boos from the crowd grew louder. This is because Wang Haoming was regarded as a winner, but judging from Wang Haoming's performance in buying this waste, it is estimated that this person is not very smart. .

"Youngest, you are sick, it's all broken stones, you still want to buy it?" The third child at the side was anxious, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Well, if you don't buy it, it's all scrap. It's still selling for [-] yuan. You can keep it for yourself."

Wang Haoming threw down a word in annoyance, separated the crowd behind him, and pretended to leave.

"Hey, little brother, the price is negotiable, how much do you want to buy?"

The middle-aged man was anxious when he saw that Wang Haoming was leaving.If Wang Haoming didn't buy this piece of wool, he would have thought of throwing it away. Now that he can sell it for some money, how could he let go of this opportunity.

"5000 yuan, if you sell it, I'll cut it for fun, if you don't sell it, you'll lose it." Wang Haoming said with a casual look.

"Youngest, 5000 yuan is more than half a year's wages for my brother."

The third child lived in the same dormitory with Wang Haoming for four years.Knowing him well, seeing Wang Haoming at this meeting, he really wanted to buy it, so he didn't say anything to dissuade him, but he was still muttering.

"Hey... third brother, any piece of wool in this field can be sold for more than 5000 yuan. I spent [-] yuan to let my brothers see the stones. It is cheap enough. Hey, do you sell it? No? I'm leaving."

After hearing what the third child said, Wang Haoming was overjoyed, and looked up to see that the middle-aged man was still hesitating.Open your mouth to urge a word.

"Ten thousand, I'll give you 1 yuan. Anyway, I spent more than 80 yuan, so it's not short of 5000 yuan." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and offered 1 yuan.

"Okay, I'm lazy and ink with you."

Wang Haoming took out 1 yuan from his handbag and threw it to the middle-aged man. Regardless of the contemptuous eyes from all around him, he bent down and hugged the piece of wool to the side, because at this moment, he bought the other two yuan. The woolen jade merchant is preparing to cut stones.

"That kid is purely sick. If you spend 1 yuan to sell a piece of scrap, it's better to go to the side of the road to pick up a stone and cut it."

"Yes, young people nowadays. They don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. They think that jadeite can be produced from a piece of wool."

"That kid will probably cut it open later, let's stay and watch the joke."

Wang Haoming was tired from standing now, so he just sat on the piece of wool cut surface he bought, and these words came from his ears. The third child was embarrassed to stand with Wang Haoming, and he was even despised by others up.
