Chapter 279 Gambling on Stones

"Because jade is so expensive, and has been rising in recent years, countless people are rushing to buy it just to take a gamble. If they are lucky, they can get a jadeite rough stone worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan, and then they won't have to work for anything in their life."

Chen Zhiping's father was one of the countless people who gambled on jadeite. He once opened a piece of top-quality jadeite and sold it for more than 20 million yuan.

It was also this stone that made him famous in this industry.

However, he knew when to quit, and used the money he earned to open a shop in this place. He bought some raw stones and sold most of them. Occasionally, there were a few pieces that no one wanted and he would open them for fun.

But his son Chen Zhiping did not have his father's determination, so over the years, the Chen family's wool shop became smaller and smaller, and the number of customers gradually decreased. Most of the business relied on old customers.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how small the Chen family shop is, it has its own channels and inventory, which is just right for him to take Wei Mian over to take a look.

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of a shop on the corner of the street. Just on the way, Wei Mian had heard Chen Dapeng talk a lot about gambling on stones.

But Chen Dapeng is only a dabbler, and he doesn't quite understand some things. He said that there is no need to know too much when buying jade.

Wei Mian had a general idea of it. She didn't have high requirements for the quality of the jade today. It was fine as long as it was presentable.

Of course, it would be best if you could buy better quality jade for a smaller amount of money.

When I entered the shop, there were three middle-aged men inside, one of whom was cutting stone on a stone cutter.

Chen Dapeng immediately spotted Chen Zhiping who was watching from the side, and walked straight over with Wei Mian.

"Brother Ping, is there business?"

As Chen Dapeng spoke, he signaled with his eyes to the middle-aged man who was cutting stone.

"Yes, this is also an old friend of mine. He came here today to try his luck," Chen Zhiping said to Chen Dapeng with a smile, then turned around and introduced his old friend, "This is my cousin. He opened an antique shop over on Fengshui Street, selling antiques and Fengshui items."

Chen Zhiping's old friend was in the jewelry business. Most businessmen seemed to be quite friendly on the surface and would not easily make enemies with others.

The two shook hands in a friendly manner.

"Brother Ping, this is one of my important customers, Miss Wei. She is quite interested in our stone materials. I brought her over to take a look."

Chen Dapeng said.

"Interested in stone? I have some good stuff that arrived this morning. You can go over and take a look. It's the one against the wall. Everything is priced by weight, two hundred per kilogram, fixed price."

Chen Zhiping glanced at Wei Mian before speaking with a smile.

After saying that, he pointed to the pile of raw materials by the wall. After making sure Wei Mian understood the location, he quickly turned back and fixed his eyes on the stone in the stonecutter again, with a nervous look on his face.

Wei Mian blinked. Although she couldn’t tell the quality of the raw stone, she could read the face.

Judging from the face of the jewelry store owner in front of me, his nose tip is crooked and his wealth palace is dark, which makes him look like he will lose money.

So he will definitely lose money if he gambles on stones here today.

Wei Mian didn't care about this place. It was better if no one cared about her. She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the pile of stones with Chen Dapeng.

Wei Mian looked down at the stones on the ground, found an open space to squat down, and then looked carefully at the surface of the stones.

Occasionally I would reach out and touch it, and occasionally pick it up to weigh it.

Chen Zhiping took the time to look over here, and when he saw Wei Mian's movements, he knew that he was a novice, because only a novice would be so strange.

The experienced people would come with a magnifying glass and a flashlight to observe the surface and only choose the stone they want after careful consideration.

But someone like Wei Mian was obviously here for the first time, and since he was so young, he probably came here to try something new after hearing about the reputation of gambling on stones.

Just now Chen Dapeng said that this girl is his big customer, maybe she is a lady who is stupid and rich.

Anyway, no matter how she chose, he would charge by kilogram, so he withdrew his little attention.

Wei Mian ignored the gazes falling on him and continued to pick stones.

She picked up several pieces in succession and looked at them but didn't notice anything unusual, so she followed Chen Dapeng's advice and carefully observed their skin.

After looking for a long time, I still found nothing.

When she picked up the fourth piece, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wei Mian actually felt spiritual energy in the fist-sized piece of wool in his hand!

Although the spiritual energy was only very weak, she still felt happy.

This means that the stone in her hand has a high probability of turning into jade!

Thinking that the jade was inside the stone, she wondered if the Heavenly Eye could see it. With this thought, Wei Mian moved her lips and chanted a series of unclear spells. The Heavenly Eye slowly opened and she looked at the stone.

Soon, the scene inside the stone slowly emerged in front of Wei Myanmar's eyes.

At first there were only white stones, but soon she saw a hint of emerald green, and then more emerald green appeared.

The color is intoxicating. When you look at it with your divine eyes, it feels like you are in a mysterious green lake.

Wei Mian was a little excited at this moment. She didn't expect that the Heavenly Eye could be used in this way. She would never have to worry about not having jade to use again!

She simply took the stone in her hand and continued to pick.

There is no need to use the third eye, you can feel whether there is jade inside just by relying on the fluctuations of spiritual energy on the rough material.

So Wei Mian quickly turned over this pile of raw materials, which was not very big to begin with.

Chen Dapeng, who had been watching her movements, had an expression that was hard to describe. In his opinion, Wei Mian was picking stones based on their appearance, because the one in her hand was the best-looking one in the pile.

Wei Mian guessed that the relationship between Chen Zhiping and Chen Dapeng was not as good as he thought. There were at least a hundred stones in this pile. She looked around and found that there were only three or five pieces of jade, and the quality was very poor.

It can be said that the fist-sized piece in Wei Mian's hand is of the best quality.

She also found a few other stones of ordinary quality and put them aside. If the other stones in the room did not satisfy her, it would not be too late to come back and buy these ones.

After looking at this pile, Wei Mian moved on to another pile next to it. The pieces of raw material in this pile were much rounder than the previous ones. The first piece she touched was a volleyball-sized stone. Because it looked too ordinary, Wei Mian originally planned to push it aside.

However, she didn't expect that the moment she touched the stone, she would feel the surging spiritual energy from it!

Wei Mian: “……!”

She immediately opened her third eye to look, and found that the inside was as crystal clear as glass, and there was no bottom to be seen at a glance.

Needless to say, even though Wei Mian was a novice, he knew that this must be glass jadeite!

But she didn't know much about jadeite of this era, and didn't know how valuable it would be, but she thought it wouldn't be too low.

Moreover, this kind of jade, which is already full of spiritual energy, only needs a little nurturing to be made into a very good magic tool!

Wei Mian picked up the piece of raw material. Just then, Chen Zhengping turned around. He saw that Wei Mian had taken it from another pile and frowned slightly. He glanced at Chen Dapeng but still said nothing.
