Chapter 110 Jade Gambling
really.
The entire room is divided into three areas: a finished product display area, a semi-finished product display area, and another area with stones of various sizes.
This shop looks to be almost 200 square meters, so the backyard must be even bigger.
Gu Yunxi was also visiting such a place for the first time, and she closed her eyes to experience it.
There is some spiritual energy, but not much. That is to say, some of the ornaments here are real, but most are imitations or fakes.
However, when she looked over the area where the small stones were placed, besides the vast expanse of white, there was a touch of green!
Buying a stone for two thousand yuan is worth it if it turns out to be green, but if it turns out to be nothing, it's like losing half a month's salary.
The saying circulating in the jade gambling world is indeed true: one cut can make you poor, another can make you rich!
"Let's go, Miss Gu, let's go take a look at the backyard."
I thought the backyard was just a courtyard, but it turned out to be a completely different world. Walking through the corridor, I saw that the backyard was packed with people.
There was an area almost entirely covered with small stones, and some people were examining them with their surveying tools.
"These stones are newly arrived. The park just opened today, so there are a lot of people here, all of whom have come because of its reputation!"
Wang Bo explained!
Liu Yi told Gu Yunxi, and then led Liu Qingshan's team to pick out stones.
As for He Sihan, he followed Meng Shi to the area with the stones!
"Mr. He, you brought me here today because of Miss Gu, right?"
"Meng Shi, you've been talking a lot lately."
Meng felt wronged. Several times when she mentioned to President He that she wanted to thank Miss Gu, President He would assign her a lot of work.
Today I am fortunate to have come here with President He and met Miss Gu. Since the He family's business does not involve jewelry, I guess he must have come for Miss Gu.
"Third Brother, let's go take a look too!"
Gu Yunlang finally realized why his sister had called him here so early in the morning. So she was here to gamble on stones just like everyone else?
Let her do fortune telling; she's quite skilled at it. If you don't have experience with jade gambling, you're just throwing money away.
The key point is that after she used all her money to buy that courtyard house last time, it seems that the money her family gave her was at most three million yuan, excluding the platform she used for live streaming.
These days, a rough estimate of the taxes and fees for live streaming, after deducting platform fees, is that it's only a few million, at most no more than ten million.
For jade gamblers, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean. Some people, however, throw around hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
"Yunxi, are you serious?"
"Of course, I came to Yaocheng to find stones. I have my own use for it. Let's go!"
But we didn't have any tools at all; we came empty-handed, without even the most basic magnifying glass!
Fortunately, there were free tools on a nearby table. Gu Yun pretended to walk over and picked up a few.
Gu Yunxi squatted down to the side, picked up a fist-sized stone, and scanned it with her divine sense. It was all white and looked no different from an ordinary stone.
Let's pick up another piece and take a look!
Meng Shi glanced at Gu Yunxi from a distance. She probably didn't know much about jade gambling. Even though he had studied it before, jade gambling wasn't like that. You could just pick up a couple of stones and, without any special tools, see how much you could tell with the naked eye.
She's probably better at divination, but when it comes to gambling on stones...
"Third brother, these two are for you, this...this...and that one."
Gu Yunxi picked out five stones, almost all about the size of a bowl.
The key is that it doesn't look very good, but it costs two thousand yuan per pill, and in just a few minutes, ten thousand yuan is spent!
Fortunately, his sister was just playing around and didn't spend too much, Gu Yunlang thought to himself.
Not far away, Liu Yi and his team also picked out a large pile of stones, but they had their own stone-cutting room, and those stones were to be transported back.
"Miss, would you like some stones cut? You can do that over there." The shopkeeper in front of the stall looked very friendly.
"It's gone up! It's gone up!!" Gu Yunxi turned around and saw a group of people surrounding the stone-cutting machine.
They were jumping for joy, which meant they could receive several times or even dozens of times the original price.
"untie!"
This was just a test for her, since she was seeing it through her mind and wanted to verify if it was true.
If all five stones turn out green, and someone wants them, I can make a profit!
"Eight hundred thousand, I'll take it!"
The two men approached with their stones, only to find a portly man bidding against them!
Beside him stood a woman of similar build, with dark skin and a large gold chain around her neck.
She grabbed a man's ear and said, "Qiu Fugui, you think you're so tough now? I offered 800,000, and the boss was reluctant to part with it. But you, you're trying to outbid me. Do you think you can disregard me?"
The Qiu couple were a well-known pair of bickering lovers in the jade gambling world. Both families were in the jade business, and they would fight over any new or interesting items. Everyone was used to seeing them together!
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, the man quickly spoke up: "Boss Che, please stop bullying Boss Qiu. Eight hundred thousand, just eight hundred thousand, I'll sell it to you, okay?"
"make a deal!"
Che Li happily took the stone and twisted her body to slip out of the crowd.
"Boss Qiu, just keep spoiling her like that."
They're quite an interesting couple.
"Boss, cut the stone!"
The two went inside, and Gu Yunxi placed the five stones on the table to the side. Everyone else stared at the table!
Poor color and extremely ugly, such a stone might yield something.
Many of the bosses who come here are also looking for bargains, but none of them seem to care about her!
"Mr. He, do you think Miss Gu's stone can be cracked open?"
He Sihan looked at the two people in the crowd and said, "I'm not sure, but I believe her."
So you can get a green one?
"Old Zhang, why don't you open it for that young girl? Let us see if there's any green inside the stone that such a beautiful girl found?"
In their eyes, a little girl who could make a living based on her looks had actually gotten involved in jade gambling just like them. They guessed she was just a tourist here, trying her luck along the way.
"I'm telling you guys, stop teasing that young girl. You all don't think she's good enough, but what if she turns out to be the most promising one? Maybe she'll even find green in every stone she comes across."
Che Li squeezed in again and stood next to Gu Yunxi. "Little sister, I'm rooting for you. Don't pay any attention to those stinky men!"
Gu Yunxi looked Che Li up and down. "Thank you, sister. My name is Gu Yunxi."
She's truly an extraordinary woman; perhaps we'll cross paths again in the future.
"How do you solve this, little girl?"
Old Zhang walked over with a smile, looking at the few stones on the table.
If the host family doesn't have their own explanation, the crudest explanation is to split the stone in two.
It doesn't matter since they're all scraps; the problem is if there's jade inside, I'm afraid I'll ruin it if I cut it.
Gu Yunxi used a marker to draw a few strokes on each of the five stones.
"Hey! That's a pretty good drawing. Have you ever gambled on stones before?"
Gu Yunxi shook her head, "This is my first time here!"
