Chapter 228 The antique business is a deep and complex place.



Seeing how easily Gao Yan had subdued Tang Donglin and Kang Zicheng, Qin Zhihui felt much more at ease.

At the same time, there are also some regrets.

It would be bad if Gao Yan were just an ordinary person.

That way, he could recruit him into the Qin family.

He's there.

In future gambling battles, the Qin family can rest easy.

A short while later.

The group then arrived at an even larger warehouse.

Qin Zhihui said, "Brother Gao, the rough stones in this warehouse are all from old mines, but there are quite a few. Should we send someone to sort them twice first?"

Qin Zhihui meant well, after all, there were thousands of rough stones of all sizes in the warehouse.

The workload would be far too great for Gao Yan to handle the screening alone.

"No!"

Gao Yan waved his hand: "Brother, as you know, I haven't been in contact with raw stones for very long. My knowledge of identification comes from your Qin family. So do you know why I can accurately judge the quality of raw stones?"

"I'm really curious!"

Qin Zhihui nodded.

At first.

It was Qin Lin from Nandu Hongyun Stone Archway who recommended Gao Yan.

Even if it was Qin Lin's recommendation.

Qin Zhihui wouldn't adopt it casually.

After all, the bet is related to the Qin family's profits from raw stones over the next few years.

Naturally, a thorough investigation of Gao Yan is necessary.

According to the data collected.

Before coming to Hongyun Stone Workshop to gamble on stones, Gao Yan had never been involved in stone gambling at all.

However, he made a fortune in the following stone gambling sessions and at the Tianyun Club.

Therefore, he concluded that Gao Yan possessed an extremely unique talent for identifying raw stones.

Even so.

When he sent Liu Yun to talk to Gao Yan, he could only get him to join the Qin family's gambling team.

Until the other party's "true" identity is exposed.

He then let Gao Yan take the lead.

Gao Yan smiled and said, "When I first started gambling on rough stones, I relied on my sixth sense. I could roughly sense whether there was jade inside a rough stone and how valuable the jade was!"

"So that's how it is!"

Qin Zhihui suddenly realized, while Tang Donglin and Kang Zicheng looked on with envy.

Gao Yan's ability sounds somewhat unbelievable.

But the world is vast and full of wonders.

Moreover, Gao Yan's assessment of the quality of the ten selected rough stones was based solely on a brief examination of the stones.

They are mostly using their sixth sense to make judgments.

"If I had that ability, becoming a master of jade gambling would be a piece of cake!"

Tang Donglin thought to himself.

"Haha, with your abilities, little brother, you'll never have to worry about money again. The gambling stone workshop will be your ATM!" Qin Zhihui joked with a laugh.

"not necessarily!"

Gao Yan chuckled, "If word gets out about my ability, I'll probably become the most unpopular customer at the jade gambling den!"

Qin Zhihui thought for a moment and then realized: "That's right. If they had that kind of ability, they could sweep away all the good goods in the gambling stone market. Wouldn't they go bankrupt?"

Suddenly, Qin Zhihui had an idea: "When you go to Myanmar this time, you can buy more rough stones from the local jade gambling shops!"

"How about this, we cooperate? I'll be in charge of the designation, and your Qin family will be responsible for purchasing and transporting the jade. We'll get 60/40 of the jade, you get 60% and I get 40%?"

"No need, we'll cover the cost of the raw stones, we'll split it 50/50!"

Qin Zhihui said magnanimously.

“Then it’s settled!” Gao Yan didn’t refuse.

After quickly finalizing a collaboration, Gao Yan began selecting items from the warehouse.

at last.

Gao Yan selected 12 rough stones from thousands of them.

He pointed to one of the stones and said, "I feel that this rough stone contains a piece of imperial green glass-type jade the size of a washbasin. It would be perfect for the competition. As for the rest, I estimate that they are also quite valuable. Why don't we cut them open and take a look?"

"good!"

Qin Zhihui immediately arranged for people to cut the stone.

An hour later.

All eleven rough stones were cut open.

Each rough stone yielded excellent jadeite, especially two of them which each yielded a basketball-sized piece of imperial green glass-type jadeite and a rather large piece of jadeite depicting the auspicious symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

In simple terms, "Fu Lu Shou" jadeite refers to jadeite containing three colors.

The quality may not be high.

However, a piece of jade containing three colors at the same time is exceptionally rare.

Therefore, the "Fu Lu Shou" jadeite is also one of the rarest jadeite varieties and is highly valuable.

In addition to these two pieces of jade, there is also a piece of violet.

While the value of violet is not as high as that of imperial green glass variety, it is comparable to that of ordinary glass variety.

Unfortunately, this violet jadeite is not very large, so it can only rank third.

The remaining eight pieces of jadeite are all of the icy variety.

Two of them are high-grade icy jadeite.

I saw that every piece of raw stone turned out to be profitable after being cut.

Several of them were huge hits, and Kang Zicheng and Tang Donglin were completely convinced.

Qin Zhihui also breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Yan's sixth sense is so accurate, then the Qin family will definitely come out on top in this gambling competition.

at the same time.

He immediately ordered his men to carefully protect the raw stone that was intended for the competition.

"Brother Gao, is this your first time in Hanyang?"

Qin Zhihui asked.

"indeed!"

Gao Yan nodded.

Qin Zhihui said, "Although Hanyang is not as prosperous as Nanjing, it is the city with the best-preserved ancient architecture. If you would like to take a tour, I can arrange for someone to show you around!"

"Alright!"

Gao Yan nodded. He had heard that there were many antiques in Hanyang, and he wanted to see if he could find a bargain.

He had already become somewhat dismissive of making money through gambling on stones and antiques.

But times change.
