Chapter 458: Stone Selection
Huang Xinran was also checking these raw materials.
She had discovered the bright green stripe in the piece of wool that San Niu had opened. The dazzling green of the python had forced her spiritual power to be interrupted for a moment.
However, she also noticed something unusual afterwards. She felt that her spiritual power was not only not depleted, but even became stronger, as if she had taken a ten-fold tonic pill.
As for the fact that there are so many raw materials here...
Huang Xinran's eyes flashed with brilliance. Maybe, she could give it a try.
Here, the three cowboys were still taking Uncle Zhang and Brother Wang to visit the wool night market to select goods. Huang Xinran followed quietly behind them, checking their standards for selecting goods.
Perhaps because the three cowboys had lowered their requirements tonight, Uncle Zhang selected three pieces of woolen material, all of which were not expensive, ranging from a few thousand to 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. In short, none of them was more expensive than the one at the morning market.
Huang Xinran also "checked" them one by one and found that there were more or less things inside, especially one piece, which had a faint purple color in the middle. It was the piece worth 20,000 yuan.
Seeing Uncle Zhang immersed in selecting woolen materials again, Huang Xinran tugged at his second brother's sleeve and said, "I want to go over there and take a look."
"good."
Huang Hongyuan immediately agreed: "How about I go with you?"
"Not for now, just wait for me here for a while."
She just wanted to test her own ideas, so why should she bring her second brother with her?
"Then you should bring some people with you."
"good."
Huang Xinran randomly selected a few people and squeezed out of the crowd.
She had discovered before that Uncle Zhang seemed to be very famous in this area. Whenever he looked at a rough stone for a long time and then put it down, the stall owner would immediately put it away, or several passers-by would fight for it. In short, the more he looked at a rough stone, the more valuable it seemed to be.
Huang happily left the group and went for a stroll on his own, and instead felt much more at ease.
After previous studies, she also roughly knew the process.
Following Uncle Zhang's example, I picked up the raw material and shone the flashlight on it, looking at it over and over again. When I had almost understood it, I continued to use my spiritual power to "look" more deeply.
What's more, she quickly picked out a piece of wool from a pile of different-looking materials.
A closer look revealed that it was a small piece of wool, about the size of a palm, with a dark leather shell on the surface, and nothing inside could be seen. She shone the light on it for a long time, but it was so tight that nothing could be seen. Only when she used her spiritual power to turn it into a thread and penetrated deeper could she see the color inside.
But why are there red, self-made, and green ones?
Just when she was confused, Huang Hongyuan came to find her.
"Sister, do you have a favorite? Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."
"Brother, do you keep your word?"
Huang Xinran was happy. Her second brother was very frugal. He usually either went to work or stayed at home. Apart from the daily meals, he was reluctant to spend a penny and saved everything.
Now you say you want to buy raw materials for yourself?
The sun is rising from the west?
"Buy! Buy whatever my Ranran likes! If you like any piece, I'll pay for it!"
"Okay, that's what you said."
Huang Xinran immediately patted the piece of raw material and asked, "Boss, how much is this piece?"
"Fifty thousand dollars."
…
Finally, after Huang Hongyuan paid 1,000 yuan, he took the raw material.
"Hey, second brother! This piece of raw material is yours!"
"I told you it's yours."
"The money you paid is naturally yours. Second brother, do you dislike the woolen materials that your sister selected for you?"
"No! I..."
"That's fine. Look, they're coming. Let's go."
Huang Xinran stuffed the wool into his backpack and went towards them.
It was already 9:30 pm, the peak time of the night market. Uncle Zhang suggested that they go and have a look at the half-bet materials.
The so-called half-bet material is to open a window on the basis of the raw material. Some have more openings and some have less. Some even cut a hole like what San Jeans did before. The buyer can judge how much the material is worth and what price to give based on the surface opened.
There is a saying in the gambling world: one knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, and one knife makes you rich.
The materials that look completely different on the outside are also very strange inside. When you cut it open, you may be surprised or shocked. It can make people rich overnight, but it can also make people lose everything and become shattered overnight.
This kind of window-opening material is more challenging and tests people's vision than the previous full-gamble material.
"Before you buy a piece of stone, you have to consider what you are going to do with it. Will you make an egg noodle, a Buddha amulet, a bracelet, or use it to make beads? Different things are made, and the value is naturally different. A piece of material made into an egg noodle is only worth 20,000, and when you bid, you can only offer 18,000 at most. But if the same piece of material is used to make a Buddha amulet, it is worth 30,000, and you can still make a profit even if you offer 25,000. If you think that the same piece of material can be made into a bracelet, it is possible that a bracelet is worth 100,000. You can still make a profit even if you offer 80,000. It all depends on how you choose, and whether the material you are betting on can meet your wishes..."
The quality of each piece of material is different, some have defects, some do not. The value of the material with defects is greatly reduced, but through reasonable layout, you can "see" that this piece of material can avoid defects and achieve your wish. Double the value.
This is what is called vision.
People with good vision can thrive in the gambling night market.
Uncle Zhang is such a perceptive old teacher. Don’t be fooled by his plain appearance. In fact, there are many eyes watching him openly and secretly!
"It is said that even gods cannot tell the quality of jade. No one can tell what this piece of jade is like inside, even though it may look amazing on the surface. I can only do my best."
The group listened carefully, nodding their heads and pretending to have heard everything.
No one knows how much was actually heard.
Once we entered the semi-betting area, we felt that the quality of the materials inside had suddenly reached a higher level.
"The stones here have all been sorted. If you like any of them, you can pick them out. After you've chosen them, you can settle the bill together."
Although the stones had been screened, the differences between them were far more than heaven-and-earth. After Uncle Zhang brought them to the boutique area, he let them spread out and choose for themselves. Uncle Zhang himself, along with the three cowboys and Wang Sange, walked straight away.
Obviously, he felt that there were too many people and it was inconvenient to get in and out, right?
Huang Xinran doesn't care about these.
She took her second brother's hand and went straight to the other side.
"Ranran, is the material over there better?" Huang Hongyuan was still reluctant to give up the material on the other side.
"Yes, the material there is better, but also more expensive."
Although it was just a casual glance, Huang Xinran was keenly aware that the materials there were priced at a hundred thousand yuan. Here, there were materials priced at tens of thousands to thousands. She even saw stones priced at a few hundred yuan.
