Li Xiujun came mainly to join in the fun. This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had come into contact with raw stones.
Instead of dreaming of getting rich overnight, it is better to keep the money in your pocket honestly and not try your luck in anything you are not sure of.
If most stone gambling players could have this idea, tragedy would not have occurred.
Gu Qingming pointed to the gate a few steps away and introduced: "Over there is Shi Lai Yun Luan Gambling Stone City, the largest gambling stone market in Beijing."
Stone brings good luck?
This pun is funny when written backwards.
Paying more attention to the plaque above her head, Li Xiujun looked around curiously: "Uncle San, I'll pay the bill later. Just pick a few small ones to appease Grandpa."
After all, the excuse Mr. Li made was to allow himself to go out and relax.
He has helped to pay the medical expenses and has been running around these days. There is no reason for him to ask others to pay for gambling on stones again.
"Uncle Li gave the order to me, not you." Gu Qingming couldn't help but tap her forehead: "It's rare for you to come out for a walk. You treated us to dinner last time, so it's my turn to host this time."
The three words "treat guests" were said with extra emphasis.
The little girl is always polite by habit, and there is no way to correct it in a short time, so she can only be influenced subtly.
It seemed like a very smart decision at the time, but when the other party brought it up again, Li Xiujun felt inexplicably hot on the face.
Afraid of being discovered, he quickly walked into the store and looked around.
"Welcome, you two look unfamiliar, you must be new here, right? You've got good taste, coming right into our shop. Feel free to look around and pick any rough pieces we have out there; they're guaranteed to be good quality and affordable."
"Miss, what type of rough stone do you want to buy? After the purchase, we will provide you with free stone cutting service. In the entire gambling stone market, there is absolutely no better service attitude than ours."
"Take a look, take a look! We're offering a big discount for new customers. Spend five dollars in this area and get one dollar free. The more you buy, the more you get. While supplies last..."
Almost without exception, they belittle other families and praise their own.
Li Xiujun was surprised at first, looked at the area recommended by the boss and asked about the price.
The raw stones that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan frightened her so much that she pulled her uncle away and ran away, fearing that if they stayed for another second, some debris from the stone would fall off and blackmail them.
Gu Qingming found it funny and explained to her, "The shop that just opened, Shi Lai Yun Luan, basically relies on deceiving novices to maintain its business. Usually, the gambling stone players who come here always look for a more central location."
"It's not that they don't have good stuff in their store, it's just that the overall prices are too high, so there's not much to buy."
After all, all the experienced people avoid them. These gambling stone shops don't rely on small profits and quick turnover, but rather on catching the biggest suckers. If they don't open for half a year, they will make half a year off with one order.
Li Xiujun had only been around in the antique market and originally thought that some bosses were already unscrupulous enough, but she didn't expect that compared with gambling on stones, they were still far behind.
You can't even tell what kind of stone is inside, but the thing that can be blown there is only in heaven, and it is rarely heard of on earth.
If it weren't for Uncle San, who is knowledgeable, I might have been sold and still be helping others count money.
After taking the little girl to feel the atmosphere of the gambling stone market, Gu Qingming led her and turned left and right into a small alley.
I had thought that such a cramped space wouldn't be able to accommodate many people, but after entering, I discovered that the alley was extremely wide, with both sides opened up.
Unlike the neatly arranged shops outside, most sellers casually spread a plastic bag on the ground and threw the raw stones in a mess on the bag.
The sound of bargaining continued one after another.
Gu Ming followed Master Wang in and looked at the ground with disgust: "Master, can there really be good things in such a shabby place?"
The only way to make money quickly is gambling.
He begged and pleaded with everyone, and finally he used his connections to invite this person, Master Wang, who was said to be well-known in the gambling stone world and was nicknamed: Stone Na Jiu Gan.
Hiring a master to see you once is a huge expense.
He would not be willing to pay unless he had no other choice.
Afterwards, he finally got Su Wanru's forgiveness, but she forced him to buy a string of jade pendants as an apology.
If it was before paying for the meal and repairs at the Ruijin Hotel, he could still take her to the jade shop, wave his hand generously, and let her choose whatever she wanted.
Due to multiple reasons, I can only try my luck in the gambling stone market.
"What? You don't believe me?" Master Wang thought to himself that this was just another ignorant person. He turned around impatiently and said, "If you think this isn't possible, I'll refund your deposit right now."
Gu Ming didn't know how many times he had experienced picking up small coins and losing large ones. He quickly complimented him, "No need to return it. This isn't my first time here. I'm just curious. Master, just treat me like a piece of shit."
Back then, he only received compliments from others. He didn't know when the order started to be reversed.
Master Wang snorted coldly and picked up something from the stall without any hesitation.
Although theoretically there are no specific requirements for gambling on stones, experienced players often have their own set of experiences.
After all, the more you touch and see, the more you will accumulate some experience.
He was a bit arrogant, but Master Wang was also a rare conscientious man. After spending more than half an hour picking out a few rough stones, he even started to bargain with the boss: "I want all five of these. How about a lower price? Three thousand eight hundred is fine. Make a fortune."
"Brother, if you really want to get it, four thousand is enough. One piece of raw stone will cost you eight hundred. It's already the most affordable price on the market."
Gu Ming felt the price was too low, and when he took out his wallet, he was stopped: "Four more is unlucky, let's both compromise, how about three thousand and nine?"
The boss nodded reluctantly and agreed, then took a snakeskin bag and helped them pack the stones.
Looking at the big red words "pig feed" marked on the bag, Gu Ming couldn't help but complain.
"Can't we buy better bags and package the items worth over 3,000 yuan properly? If we carry this in our hands, people will think we're migrant workers."
"Pack it nicely?" The boss laughed and asked, "Should I tie a giant bow on it for you?"
Gu Ming subconsciously nodded, but Master Wang slapped him away: "I'm sorry, he's a fool, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Everyone who comes to the gambling stone market wants to be as low-key as possible.
If I wasn't afraid of attracting attention, I would even want to wear black clothes and a black hat.
If you really hold a beautifully packaged box, it will probably be snatched away before you even leave the house. Only an employer with a disorderly mind could think of such a thing as taking advantage of you.
Master Wang is already feeling a little regretful. Is it worth it to agree to this order just for a little commission?
She threw the snakeskin bag into his arms angrily and said, "Just follow me and don't talk nonsense."
