Chapter 298 My stomach is still good now, I don’t need to eat soft rice
In a short while, the price of the jade raw material on the table in front of the shopkeeper was raised to 2 million!
After all, if it is cut open and inside is imperial green, the price will at least increase tenfold or even a hundredfold!
Baiyitang is a well-known jade and antique shop in the entire Hualin Town, and even in the whole of China.
Therefore, among those who come here to gamble on stones today, there are naturally many successful businessmen, most of whom have plenty of money in their pockets.
When they heard the jade master beside them finish their analysis, they were all determined to get the stone and wanted to buy it.
Finally, this piece of raw stone was successfully bought by Li Chenghui, a slightly fat, 40-year-old middle-aged man, for 4.5 million.
"Okay, now we're selling this rough stone for 4.5 million! Sell it to Boss Li!" The shopkeeper said, looking at the middle-aged man and continued to ask with a smile, "Boss Li, do you want us to cut it for you on the spot?"
There is one advantage of gambling on stones at Baiyitang. Once you pay the purchase price, you can have the stones cut on the spot and even sell them immediately. There is no need to go out of your way to find a cutting factory or store. We provide professional one-stop service.
Next to the competition area, there are two cutting machines, one large and one small, with cutting masters and workers available.
Li Chenghui smiled brightly when he heard the shopkeeper's words, "It will definitely be on the spot."
As he spoke, he looked at the female assistant beside him, took out a card and paid.
When the female assistant heard what the boss said, she reached out to take the bank card, and then followed the clerk who was leading the way next to the shopkeeper into the store.
At this moment, no one in the crowd showed any intention of leaving. Some people even kept coming over to watch, waiting to see whether this piece of raw stone would bring wealth or poverty.
While Li Chenghui was paying, many people were eager to ask about the prices of other stones on the ground or on the table. The shopkeeper was very patient and answered almost every question.
At this time, Ji Chen also walked to the big rock that no one cared about, looked at it carefully, then reached out to move it and weigh it.
At this time, a man who looked only in his thirties but had gray hair saw Ji Chen's actions, walked up to him, took out a professional high-intensity flashlight, shone it on the stone, and said, "Brother, this piece of blind material is not good. I think there is a 'dragon fruit' inside."
The "dragon fruit" of jade refers to a jade that, after being cut, displays numerous irreparable flaws, including dirt, black spots, weeds, and sclerosis. In particular, the densely packed black spots resemble the black seeds of a pitaya, earning it the nickname "dragon fruit" by those in the jade industry.
Ji Chen heard the man's words, smiled, and said, "I think it's okay. Although there is no 'window opening', it feels good."
Lin Qingya and Bai Lianwan, who were standing by, were filled with confusion when they heard the questions from Ji Chen and the middle-aged man.
Bai Lianwan couldn't help but feel a little depressed, as she felt that there was something that Ji Chen understood that she didn't understand.
Ji Chen exchanged a few words with the middle-aged man, then let go of the stone in front of him and asked the shopkeeper not far away, "Shopkeeper, how much is this piece of head covering material for?"
When the shopkeeper and the people around heard Ji Chen's words, they looked in the direction he was pointing. When they saw the yellow stone in front of him, they were stunned.
But soon, several middle-aged men who were more knowledgeable grinned.
No one can tell what is inside an unopened jadeite, except for its shape, weight and appearance. Only by cutting and dissecting it can we get a true conclusion.
People who gamble on stones can only rely on their own experience and the appearance of the skin to make repeated guesses and judgments.
That piece of material looked very ordinary, so almost no one was interested in it. So when Ji Chen asked this question, they couldn't help but wonder if this kid thought that the bigger the stone, the more valuable it was?
At this time, the shopkeeper also reacted and said with a smile, "This piece was unearthed in Ruili, the jade paradise. But I won't cheat you. This covered head material looks ordinary in color, but it is heavier than ordinary stones. If you are interested in taking a gamble, the price is 200,000."
This piece of covered material was unearthed in a good location that is rich in jadeite. However, the jade master in their store has already studied the appearance and texture of this stone and basically confirmed that it is a brick stone.
I'm putting this big piece here today just to make up the number. If no one buys it in the evening, I can just cut it into pieces and throw it away.
Of course, it would be even better if it could be sold. After all, when it comes to gambling on stones, it's a matter of two parties taking the risk.
The shopkeeper didn't just tell Ji Chen the price, he also told it to everyone around him.
After all, he could tell at a glance that the person asking about the price of the stone was not very old, probably a college student.
200,000 yuan is a considerable sum for a college student, even if he is a rich second-generation. Moreover, although the boy's clothes are not ordinary, they are not brand-name either.
He thought that the other party was just asking out of curiosity.
Not only the shopkeeper, but also the people around him had the same idea as the shopkeeper.
However, they are not interested in betting 200,000 yuan on an ordinary blind spot.
At this moment, Bai Lianwan seemed to understand a little bit.
That is to say, the quality of the stone that Ji Chen likes cannot be seen from its appearance, but because the place of production is rich in jade, it is heavier than ordinary stones, so it costs 200,000?
Lin Qingya was completely stunned. Just a piece of stone, and he asked for 200,000 yuan? Why did it feel like it was worth more than her?
Ji Chen observed the color of the stone for a while, touched his chin, and then looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "I like this stone very much. 200,000 is fine. I'll buy it."
The shopkeeper didn't expect Ji Chen to actually ask to buy something, and was obviously stunned.
To be honest, he was a little reluctant to cheat this little brother of his money. After all, he was still a student and a fan of Yun Duo, and he wore Yun Duo's clothes.
But now that the other party had spoken, with so many people watching, it was difficult for him to refuse. He could only ask Ji Chen again, "Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The people around also set their eyes on Ji Chen, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could this be the legendary stupid son of the landlord?
You want to buy an ordinary stone for 200,000?
The white-haired middle-aged man next to Ji Chen couldn't stand it any longer and whispered to Ji Chen, "Little brother, don't be impulsive. This stone is really worthless."
Lin Qingya also pulled Ji Chen's arm, "Brother-in-law, aren't you working part-time? It will take you a long time to earn 200,000 yuan. Don't be impulsive."
Although Bai Lianwan didn't know much about stones, seeing that Ji Chen had been studying the stone for a while, he thought he must have some ideas of his own, so he said, "It's okay, buy it if you want. If you don't have enough money, I'll pay for it."
When the people around heard Bai Lianwan's words, the slight sympathy and kindness they had for Ji Chen on their faces instantly disappeared.
A handsome man with such a beautiful and rich girlfriend doesn't deserve their sympathy!
Ji Chen heard what the girl said, smiled and said, "My stomach is still good now, I don't need to eat soft rice."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper and confirmed, "I'm sure."
In fact, he was not quite sure. It was indeed difficult for people to tell whether there was any material inside this covered material. However, judging from some details, this covered material had great gamble potential.
Moreover, even if you lose 200,000 yuan, you won’t lose much. If you win the bet, it should be more than enough to earn enough to build a factory.
When the people around heard Ji Chen's words, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
I hope that later, after this kid opens the material, he won’t cry too much.
Seeing Ji Chen's insistence, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say and nodded, "Okay, then it's 200,000!"
