The strongest urban comprehension
Chapter 10 Stone Gambling
Watching the girl open three high-quality jade stones in a row made Jiang Tianming feel itchy. To be honest, no one could resist such temptation. Of course, Zhou Yang was an exception. The firm also received more buyers because of the girl's gains.
Home, you know, in this place, such a huge increase may not happen in ten days and a half. Soon, after the girl completed the transaction and left, the business house was already crowded with people inside and outside.
"Come on, let's change places to play." Jiang Tianming couldn't wait to take Zhou Yang to another nearby business.
There will be a lot of jade materials piled up in front of every business house. There are not only a thousand but also eight hundred jade materials. They look just like stones. The price is clearly marked in front of each pile, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands. If it is not purchased in bulk,
The price cannot be negotiated.
Of course, this does not mean that the price of jade materials absolutely determines the value of jade, but it will affect it with a certain probability.
Jiang Tianming was still reasonable and did not get carried away by other people's interests before. He chose from thousands of choices and bought a piece worth about 2,000 yuan to try. The jade material was about the size of a football.
"There is also something special about choosing jade materials. You must not let the shape of the jade affect your judgment. You must carefully observe the surface characteristics. If you find that the jade is soft and soft and the transparency is too poor, then even if the jade is cut out, it will be inferior.
, not valuable, on the contrary, the surface is extremely hard, the transparency is good, and it is easy to get a medium-grade one when opened. If it is between the two, the probability of getting a top-grade one is higher. Of course, I am also a layman and only know a few things.
Rudimentary knowledge." Jiang Tianming used his half-baked knowledge to tell Zhou Yang.
"Brother Zhou, take a look, how does this piece of jade look like?" Jiang Tianming handed the jade he just purchased to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang looked helplessly at the jade material in his hand. Since Jiang Tianming wanted to know his thoughts, he couldn't just fool him. Zhou Yang picked up the jade stone and looked left and right. Although Jiang Tianming's words were clear and logical, there was no reference for how to judge the surface hardness of the jade material.
ah.
And I can't tell how transparent this piece of jade is.
Suddenly, a bright spot flashed in Zhou Yang's mind. When he first met Jiang Tianming, in order to give Aguai a place to stay, he went to buy jade. At that time, Aguai seemed to have said that jade can block spiritual energy, and chalcedony
But it can store spiritual energy. Can I use spiritual energy to test it?
Zhou Yang transferred some spiritual energy from his meridians into the jade material. Except for the jade, the jade material was basically made of stone, which was completely unable to stop the spiritual energy from seeping in. After a few breaths, the spiritual energy had completely wrapped the jade material and seeped in from all directions. Suddenly
, Zhou Yang's eyes widened, and sure enough, in the center of the jade material, there was an irregular place about four or five centimeters in diameter, where spiritual energy could not enter at all. Is there really jade?
"Well, Brother Jiang, maybe this stone can really produce jade, why don't you give it a try?" Zhou Yang said extremely calmly, but his heart was already filled with turmoil. With such a method, why couldn't he...
"Haha, Brother Zhou is also optimistic about it, right? Okay, master, help cut the jade material." Jiang Tianming cheerfully handed the jade material to the polishing master in the business. In the Mantauru market, every business must have a few.
A polishing master.
"There are grinders and cutting machines here. It's free to do it yourself. If you ask us to help you grind it, you need to pay an additional five hundred." The grinder's Chinese is not particularly standard, but the general meaning can still be understood.
"Okay, five hundred is five hundred, I'd better bother the master to do it."
The master reached out to take the jade material and observed it carefully. After about four or five minutes, he drew a curve on one-third of the jade material, turned on the cutting machine, and cut along the curve.
For this level of jade, the masters polish and cut it the most. Almost no one buys jade worth a few hundred yuan, and the purchase volume of tens of thousands is not very large. Therefore, jade worth thousands of yuan needs to be cut into dozens or hundreds every day.
Block, practice makes perfect, no need for too much hesitation.
After "clicking" the scrap material was cut off, two thirds were left. The cut surface was extremely smooth, but no jade color was still visible. The polisher could only cut off one third again from the other side, but still no jade was produced.
Jiang Tianming couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Although two thousand dollars was like drizzle to him, what he really cared about was the result. Even a low-grade jade could satisfy his heart. It was just like playing cards, without breaking the bones.
Bottom, a dollar for a bottom is the same mentality as a dime for a bottom.
The polisher shook his head. Since both sides have been cut and no jade has emerged, the possibility of jade coming out is already very small.
After cutting, it was polished until the thickness of the entire jade material was less than five centimeters. The master basically gave up polishing and said, "Boss, I think it is basically impossible to produce jade from this stone. Do you think you can continue?"
?"
Jiang Tianming was also disappointed. Although he didn't spend much money, he lost money on the bet.
At this time, Zhou Yang stepped forward, pretended to pick up the jade material and looked at it, "Master, polish it a little more, maybe there will be a miracle?"
Collecting money from people and doing things for them, since the customer hasn't given up yet, the polisher can only continue to polish the jade material.
Time passed bit by bit, cutting the stone quickly and polishing it slowly. As the gravel on the jade material gradually fell off, the color of the jade material, which was originally white powder, gradually changed.
"Huh?" The polisher couldn't help but wonder, and he started more gently, for fear of accidentally destroying the possible jade flesh.
Jiang Tianming's heart was in his throat, just like when he was about to reveal his trump card.
"Congratulations to the boss, the jade has been produced!" The polisher looked at the jade material in his hand in disbelief. One side had been completely rubbed green, and the color did not look like inferior quality.
Upon hearing the polishing master's words, a group of people immediately gathered around and looked around curiously.
Except for Zhou Yang, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Tianming pushed the frame in surprise, "Master, please help me polish it all."
"Okay."
"Brother Zhou, you have good eyesight. This is your first time betting on stones." Guo Shan smiled at Zhou Yang.
"I don't have any eyesight. Brother Jiang is interested in this piece of jade. I'm afraid of wasting it, so I asked the master to polish it more." Zhou Yang was now convinced that it is indeed possible to detect jade with spiritual energy, but it's just such a secret.
Never let anyone know.
Within a quarter of an hour, a whole piece of jade was polished and was as big as an oval pebble. Although it didn't look like the texture of the girl before, it wasn't of low quality either.
"Boss, this piece of jade is a medium-sized jade. What do you want to do with it? If you sell it to our firm, we are willing to pay 50,000 yuan." People who come here to bet on stones are basically willing to sell it directly, but according to the rules,
I still have to ask the polisher.
Moreover, if the 50,000 yuan is recovered, several pairs of bracelets and rings can be polished by then, and the selling price will definitely be more than this amount. If both parties make money, the merchant will definitely not lose money.
"Haha, if there is no problem, I will sell it to you. Please help us with the transaction." What Jiang Tianming cares about is not how much money he makes, but a good result.
In the market, as long as a firm produces jade, no matter whether the quality is good or bad, someone will roar, adding a bit of joy to the firm.
"Today is a good start. Everyone buys a few pieces to play with, and the money is mine." Jiang Tianming waved his hand, saying that the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone.
"How about that, Brother Jiang, there is no reason for you to spend money." Zhou Yang was really thinking about it at this time. No one wanted to miss this kind of huge profit, but he was not used to receiving favors from others.
"Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? Do you need to talk about money in our friendship? Go ahead and have fun. Lao Guo and Lao Ji, you guys also go and pick a few pieces."
In the end, Jiang Tianming couldn't be defeated. Zhou Yang, Guo Shan, and Ji Guangsheng also came to Shizui to carefully select. However, no one was embarrassed to pick expensive ones, and most of them were priced within two thousand.
Of course, Zhou Yang didn't need to choose at this time. Others had to hold the jade material in their hands and observe it for a long time. He only needed to use his spiritual energy to sense it. He could detect it in about ten seconds. I saw him pick up one in a moment.
Put one down.
"Look at that young man, he doesn't know how to pick jade materials. It's just like looking at the flowers on a horse."
"Yeah, look what else is he carrying on his back, cosplay?"
"Maybe he is the son of a rich family, so he doesn't care about that."
More and more people gathered, and there was a lot of discussion. Zhou Yang and his group were gradually surrounded in the middle, and a few people followed suit. People are like this. Where jade is found, there are more people buying it. Everyone wants to get a piece of it.
Some people may think that the probability of finding jade is higher here.
Jiang Tianming looked at Zhou Yang who was choosing jade beside him with a confused look on his face. Is there anyone who chooses jade like you? This is choosing jade, not buying stone.
It has to be said that the lower the price of the jade material, the lower the probability of finding jade. Zhou Yang went back and forth to select more than ten or twenty pieces, but none of them actually contained jade.
Suddenly, the next piece of jade material came in. Zhou Yang felt the rebound of spiritual energy in his hand and showed joy. He finally found a piece with good material, and it felt bigger than the one Jiang Tianming had before, but he didn't know what the quality was.
"Look, the jade material that guy chose, pfft."
"It seems like he is really a novice. The material is so sandy when he touches it. He would be damned if he can produce jade."
"Well, let's go, there's nothing left to see."
Even Jiang Tianming looked at Zhou Yang speechlessly, "Brother Zhou, you can tell from this piece of jade that you can't get jade out of it."
"It's okay, Brother Jiang, just treat it as a gain in experience. If you don't cut it, no one knows if it's there or not." Zhou Yang looked at the jade material in his hand with a smile, not caring about other people's opinions, and came to the cutting machine next to the stone.
.
"Look, everyone, what does he want to do?"
"Is it crazy that he wants to polish it himself? He's crazy."
"Oh, what a waste."
At this time, the girl who had been rising sharply before heard the news and came to the crowd. She looked at Zhou Yang in the venue in surprise. Newcomers bought jade materials every day, but no novice polished them by themselves.
"No, Brother Zhou, what are you doing?" Jiang Tianming heard the noise around him and looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.
"Polish it, didn't you say it's free if you do it yourself?" Zhou Yang didn't realize what he did wrong at all. He had already figured out the direction of the jade, so wouldn't it be a waste of money to let others polish it?
But in the eyes of others, this is simply a fantasy. From the selection, it can be seen that he is a newcomer, and he actually dares to polish it himself. How much jade material is enough for such a wasteful person.
"Kid, do you really want to polish it yourself? Although I charge a fee for polishing here, if there is jade inside and you cut it yourself, the loss will be huge." Even the polishing master kindly reminded me.
"No, no, I'm practicing my skills. It didn't cost me much anyway." Zhou Yang looked at the polisher with a smile, "Master, please help me turn on the electricity."
The polisher could only sigh, shake his head and turn on the switch.
Zhou Yang once again used his spiritual energy to find the location of the jade, turned on the cutting machine, and cut it off with one stroke.
"This idiot doesn't even draw a line, it's such a waste of natural resources!"
"I don't want to see it anymore, I don't want to see it anymore, I feel so bad." Some people said that they didn't look at it, but they didn't move away, looking straight at the jade material in Zhou Yang's hand.
He raised the knife and dropped it, and the jade material was cut instantly.
"Coax!" The entire hall suddenly burst into cheers.
