Chapter 53 Chapter 053 Gambling on Stones
As soon as he opened it, he saw that there were thousands of messages on it, which made Gu Ning couldn't help but be surprised.
These people are so good at chatting!
Gu Ning took a look and saw that some of them were concerned about whether she had arrived in G City, and some were curious about what she was doing in G City.
Some speculated that she was here to visit relatives, some speculated that she was here to meet friends, and some even speculated wildly that she was here to meet online friends or go on a blind date, which left Gu Ning speechless.
Gu Ning: I'm at the hotel, everything is fine.
Hao Ran: Wow! The boss is out.
Chu Peihan: Boss, don't forget the gift! (Gift picture) Mu Ke: Don't forget the gift! (Gift picture) Qin Zixun: Don't forget the gift! (Gift picture)
Zhang Tianping: Don’t forget the gift! (Gift picture)
Yu Mixi: Don’t forget the gift! (Gift picture)
Seeing this, Gu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is it necessary to care so much about the gift?
She hasn't decided yet what gifts to bring them!
Gu Ning: I won't forget it. Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to rest first. I have things to do tomorrow! Chu Peihan: Okay! It's so mysterious. It really makes me more and more curious.
Haoran: That’s right, the boss wouldn’t leave us to enjoy the good life, would he?
Mu Ke: Get out! Don’t you have enough delicious food and spicy drinks? (kicked away) Qin Zixun, Zhang Tianping: That’s right (kicked away) Hao Ran: You bully Yin (crying expression) Hao Ran: The boss is begging for tiger touch (pitiful expression) Gu Ning: Get out (kicked away) Everyone: Hahahaha (laughing expression)
Hao Ran: You guys, you guys, I won’t live anymore... (vomiting blood expression)
Gu Ning: Okay, I’m going to do big things. I’ll tell you when the opportunity is right. Good night.
Yu Mixi: Good night, Ningning.
Everyone: Good night, boss.
After interrupting the conversation, Gu Ning immediately took out the book and started reading.
Gambling on jade is also called gambling on goods. It means that when jade is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know the quality inside. The quality of the jade can only be known after cutting.
There are two types of jadeite raw stones, namely mountain materials and seed materials. As the name implies, mountain materials refer to those mined from the mountains without the outer skin. They are jadeite after being mined, but most of them are rough and of poor quality! Seed materials are what people often call the raw materials for gambling stones. These seed materials are formed in the riverbed. The surface of the seed materials is weathered, thus forming a shell. You can't see the inside, and you can only rely on experience to judge whether jadeite has been formed inside. These seed materials are called rough materials or rough stones.
The most profitable, the most tempting, but also the most risky thing is gambling on stones.
There is a saying in the jewelry industry: gambling on gemstones is like gambling on your life. If you win, you can earn ten or a hundred times more and become a millionaire overnight; if you lose, you lose everything. Compared with gambling on gemstones, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are all warm and pale in comparison.
The buying and selling of jadeite raw stones is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry industry. Its mystery lies in the word "gambling", so buyers also say that they are gambling on jade or gambling on stones.
Generally speaking, one cannot tell the true face of a piece of jade from its appearance. Even in today's scientific world, there is no instrument that can quickly tell whether the inside is a "precious jade" or a "rag". Therefore, buying and selling is very risky and "exciting", so it is called "gambling". If you win the bet, you will make a lot of money, so this kind of business has been popular from ancient times to the present.
The jadeite that is gambled on is also divided into different levels of quality, mainly depending on the type, color and water content.
As for the quality of jade, it mainly depends on three points: type, color, and water content!
The type refers to the variety of jadeite, and a good type means high hardness.
The grades from high to low are: old pit glass type, ice type, ice glutinous type, glutinous type, bean type, oily green type, hibiscus type, lotus root powder type, gold thread type and so on.
“Good quality jade can hide three flaws” vividly illustrates the importance of jade quality.
Color refers to the color of jadeite. There are many colors of jadeite, but the best jadeite is generally dominated by bright green.
The color grades from high to low are: green (imperial green, positive green, apple green), red, yellow, and purple.
Because the output of special colored jade is relatively small! This color must be combined with the green of jade and a good water quality base, and there must be few impurities and cracks to be priceless.
Water head, or transparency, refers to the ability of jadeite to transmit visible light.
The higher the transparency, the higher the quality. The top-quality jade is like glass, and the jade industry calls it glass bottom.
After learning about gambling on stones, Gu Ning went to the computer to learn about domestic jewelry brands, their history, development, fame, reputation, founders and their heads.
Regardless of whether they were first-, second-, or third-tier, or not yet online, Gu Ning watched them all.
Due to limited time, Gu Ning decided not to look at foreign brands for the time being, because Gu Ning has not yet developed to such a high level so quickly. She wants to be strong, but she also knows that too much is as bad as too little.
······ Gu Ning got up at seven o'clock the next day. The first thing he did was to call to order breakfast and then wash up.
Twenty minutes later, breakfast arrived.
Gu Ning was not in a hurry to go out because it was too early and he was afraid that all the shops would not be open.
So it was not until half past eight that Gu Ning called the front desk to order a special car.
The other party was very fast. When Gu Ning arrived at the first floor, the special car was already waiting.
Antiques and gambling on stones go together, so Gu Ning asked the driver to drive to the antique market directly.
The antique market is not far from the city center. If there is no traffic jam, it will take only 40 minutes to get there.
On the way, Gu Ning took out his mobile phone and saw that the 'One Family in the World' group had started chatting again.
However, Gu Ning did not chat with them. He just took a look and put away the phone.
When we arrived at the antique market, it was just a little after nine o'clock, but at this time, the antique market had already begun to become lively.
Gu Ning knew that she would be staying in the antique market for most of the day and it was impossible for her to let the driver wait like that, so she asked the driver to leave first. When she was about to leave, she would call him in advance.
Entering the antique market, Gu Ning was in a state of excitement and nervousness.
The antique market in City G is much larger than that in City F and has many more items.
However, because the spiritual energy in Gu Ning's jade pupils was thin, Gu Ning did not plan to look at antiques first, but to gamble on stones first to absorb the spiritual energy.
Antiques and gambling stones were at the two ends of the street. Following the signs, Gu Ning walked towards the gambling stone street.
The closer she got to the gambling stone street, the more excited Gu Ning felt, as if she saw rich spiritual energy and huge amounts of silver waiting for her.
The market for gambling on jade stones in City G is not very big, with only about a dozen shops. However, there are still many people.
Gu Ning walked into the first shop. The shop was not big, only about 40 square meters. There were piles of stones of different sizes on the ground and on the shelves.
These are the rough materials for gambling stones.
These raw materials have been selected by the boss, stacked into grades, and each is marked with a price.
