Chapter 457 Material Selection
The bearded man nodded silently and walked aside.
"Come on, follow this ribbon... and cut again!"
The three cowboys handed the material to the master with great pride and gestured to mark the position.
After the machine started, the huge buzzing sound was like the anxiety in everyone's heart, piling up layer by layer. After waiting for the machine to stop, the third cowboy rushed forward and opened the cover of the machine. The next moment, he was stunned on the spot.
Brother Wang's heart skipped a beat and he looked inside. "Oh my god..."
He couldn't help but cover his face.
Huang Xinran and others also rushed forward, only to see that the material in the machine had been cut open, but the bright green python did not penetrate into it. Instead, it only penetrated two fingers wide. The deeper it went, the more black moss mixed in. The position of the black moss mixed with the whole piece of material, completely destroying the quality of the whole piece of jade. The top-grade jade bracelet mentioned before also became a bubble.
The three cowboys staggered and their faces turned pale.
He was not a person who had never seen money, but he was still overwhelmed by the huge gap.
"How could it be possible... How could it be possible..."
…
Seeing the appearance of the three jeans, Huang Xinran asked hurriedly: "Why is there black mixed in it? Is it still worth the money now?"
"not worth."
Uncle Zhang shook his head in disappointment: "The areas with black moss cannot be used. Even if we are lucky enough to avoid them, we can't make bracelets. Without the bracelet position, the value of this jade is almost zero. But we can still make some small pieces like egg-shaped ones."
The value of the small items and the bracelets are like heaven and earth.
The three cowboys subconsciously looked at the bearded man.
The bearded man quickly took a few steps back and let out a long sigh.
Obviously, no matter how much he said before, when the three cowboys decided to cut, the price they negotiated was already invalid. Moreover, he was not satisfied with the result now. Naturally, he was satisfied with the purchase intention.
Watching the bearded man leave, the three cowboys looked at Uncle Zhang with disappointment: "Uncle Zhang, this..."
"Well, it's your decision."
"Yeah, I'm too greedy..."
He had good material and could get 200,000 yuan, but he wanted to take a chance. Now, he got nothing.
He looked at Brother Wang San again: "Brother San, how much is my material worth now?"
"About thirty or forty thousand, about thirty thousand."
“…It’s not bad to be able to make back the money.”
The three cowboys found joy in adversity.
For a moment, he lost all his energy and vitality, not even the same excitement he had when he first came here.
After picking up a bag and filling it up, the group left the market.
Uncle Zhang looked at them and asked, "Shall we continue shopping now?"
"Not for now, let's find a place to eat first. We'll talk about it after dinner." Seeing that the three cowboys had not recovered yet, Huang Xinran simply suggested.
In fact, it was already past two in the afternoon. They found a place to eat, and after eating it was almost time for the night market.
Speaking of eating, seeing that the three cowboys looked distraught, they didn't have any good suggestions, so Huang Xinran simply took charge. They found a nearby restaurant, ordered a few dishes, opened a bottle of wine, and everyone ate and chatted.
But it was mostly Wang Sange who was talking, and they either agreed or listened. As for the three cowboys, as soon as they entered the hotel, they held the bottle and drank it from mouth to mouth. It didn't take long before they drank a bottle of wine and fell down.
After finishing the meal, Huang Hongyuan carried the three cowboys out of the hotel.
I didn't expect that as soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a sudden "bang" in the distance.
Everyone was startled and turned around at the same time, just in time to see bunches of fireworks rising in the air.
"Oh, someone cut the price. They're setting off fireworks."
In fact, they didn't want to set off fireworks at first, but later more and more people came here to buy raw materials, and gradually brought some customs from other places. This is how setting off fireworks became popular. Every time fireworks are set off, it means that another person has made a profit.
"I don't know who has such good luck, and how much it has increased. It's really enviable!"
"Are you jealous? Actually, don't think that others are lucky. Think about what we saw before. There were so many people buying materials in the market, but in the end, only a few people saw the price increase."
"How many people are there?"
“The ones setting off the fireworks.”
Since they came here yesterday, they have only seen this one person setting off fireworks.
But there were countless people coming to the market to buy materials.
The third cowboy was also awakened from his sleep. He raised his head and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, muttering to himself: "Originally, there was one for me..."
As a result, he got nothing.
Huang Xinran looked at the three cowboys and then at the fireworks blooming in the sky. This is probably the so-called survivor bias.
With the popularity of mobile phones and computers, people always see various people with annual salaries of millions on the Internet, driving luxury cars worth millions and tens of millions, living in luxurious villas, and even the government is promoting that the average salary in the city is more than 80 million. This has caused great trouble to ordinary people.
In reality, the average salary of 3,000 to 4,000 is the norm. The reason is that migrant workers are excluded from the statistics (because migrant workers are farmers and do not pay personal income tax).
Not to mention those wealthy or noble people who earn millions a year, drive luxury cars worth millions, and live in big villas.
The fireworks here infinitely magnified the survivor bias.
Every time fireworks go off, they remind everyone here invisibly that someone has made a lot of money again.
Fireworks are set off only when the price goes up, what about those who don’t?
They can't see or hear, so naturally they don't exist.
It's like three cowboys!
In just ten minutes of machine cutting, I went from earning 200,000 to expecting to earn 1 million, and then to 30,000... The gap in between is really not something an ordinary person can bear.
No wonder the three cowboys resorted to drinking to drown their sorrows.
"Don't take it too seriously. Actually, setting off fireworks doesn't necessarily mean that the price will go up."
In order to gain influence and reputation, many people deliberately put on a show and come up with some unique and attractive practices.
The three cowboys forced a twitch of their lips as a response.
After this day, he seemed to sober up.
Huang Xinran knew that the three cowboys could drink much more than that. The reason why he got drunk as soon as he drank was to find a place to hide and feel sad alone.
She understands.
After the fireworks, a large number of people poured into the night market, and the trend of selecting woolen materials began. They followed the crowd and walked in. Just as San Niu Niu said just now, since they have come all the way here, they can't just return empty-handed.
Having made up their minds, the three cowboys perked up and planned to pick out more good materials to take back.
