Zhou Ming's words stunned Lin Muqing: If you don't want to move the money in Honghui Bank, are you planning to take out all the money in the stock market?

Zhou Ming shook his head and said no, which left Monk Lin Muqing confused: Where did you get the money to buy clothes for me? Is it possible that you can make money out of thin air like Sun Wukong?

Zhou Ming laughed and said: Sister Mu Qing, of course I am not Sun Wukong, and I don’t know the seventy-two changes of magic like him, but I have a way to multiply the thousands of dollars we have in our hands at least ten times.

Are you kidding? Lin Muqing was surprised, how could you increase the money for no reason?

Sister Mu Qing, let me ask you what day it is today. Zhou Ming asked.

Today is August 8, which is June 14 of the lunar calendar. What's wrong? Lin Muqing said strangely. Lin Muqing didn't understand that she was asking him how he had increased the money. Why should he ask what day it was today? What does it matter?

Maybe he looked at the almanac when he went out and knew that if he went out today, he would be able to pick up a lot of money.

When Zhou Ming was about to say something, the waitress came over and said, "You two, are you planning to buy clothes? Are you from the Mainland?"

The waiter's tone was a bit contemptuous and impatient when he spoke, but Zhou Ming didn't take it seriously: Help me wrap up the two clothes just now. I went out to pick up money, and I paid for them when I came back.

After saying that, Zhou Ming ignored the waiter's reaction and pulled Lin Muqing out of the mall. Lin Muqing cooperated and said nothing. After leaving the mall, she couldn't help but ask Zhou Ming: Are you really planning to pick up the money?

Of course not. Sister Mu Qing, have you ever heard of gambling on stones? Zhou Ming asked. Lin Muqing looked stunned, obviously she didn't know. Zhou Ming then explained to her that gambling on stones is actually the raw material for buying jadeite. Because jadeite that has not been processed has a layer on the outside.

Wrapped in weathered leather, it looks just like an ordinary stone. There is no way to know whether there is jade inside, so we can only gamble, so it is called gambling stone.

Lin Muqing thought for a moment and then said: Is it because the price of raw jadeite is relatively low? Once the bet is right, it will be very profitable, but if the bet is wrong, it will be lost.

Sister Mu Qing is so smart, this is gambling on stones. Zhou Ming said, Tsim Sha Tsui is where the largest jade market in the entire port city is located, and it is a free port with no tariffs, so I think there must be gambling on stones here.

Lin Muqing didn't know what to say at this time. She didn't expect that Zhou Ming was really crazy and had such a plan. She asked: Do you know how to gamble on stones?

An old man from the countryside taught me something when I was a kid. I still remember it, maybe it will come in handy.

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he couldn't help but pull Lin Muqing towards the jade shop on Guangdong Road next door.

Of course, Zhou Ming's decision to bet on stones was not because he was crazy about his luck, but because he suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, he was reading a biography of a Hong Kong jewelry tycoon. The jewelry tycoon said

His first pot of gold was obtained by betting on stones at a jade shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. The time was August 8 in the Gregorian calendar, which is today. This is why Zhou Ming asked Lin Muqing what day it was today.

According to the memory in his mind, Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing to find the jade shop mentioned in the biography. This is a large jade shop. It seems that it should be owned by a consortium in Hong Kong City, and its reputation is guaranteed. In

There was a sign hanging at the door of the store, which stated that the jade shop had recently shipped a batch of jadeite raw materials from Myanmar and was going to hold a stone betting conference in the shop.

Everything was exactly as described in the biography. Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing to get the number plate at the door and followed the waiter to the site of the Stone Gambling Conference.

In fact, it is said to be a stone gambling conference, but the format is similar to that of a roadside stall. The jade shop puts jade raw materials on various booths, and all the people who participate in the stone gambling go back and forth to make choices like they are buying vegetables in a wet market.

In Zhou Ming's memory, this stone gambling conference did produce a lot of good goods, but the jade stones, even if they were made of wool, cost at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The money he had on hand was simply not enough, so Zhou Ming's purpose was

There is only one.

Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing directly to booth No. 18, where there was a piece of jade wool as big as a winter melon. A staff member of the jade shop was introducing it next to him: This is an old piece of jade wool shipped from the white wall factory in Myanmar.

Mines are mined. Everyone knows that Baibi Factory is the earliest mine in Myanmar. It has a history of two to three hundred years. The jade produced in it is also of the highest quality. This jade is definitely a good thing. You can see that there are pine flowers on the outside of this wool.

, experienced people will know at a glance that this is the performance of Youyu.

Then what you are saying is that there must be jade in this woolen material. A middle-aged man asked.

I never said that. The staff member said, boss, since stone gambling is called gambling, it means that no one can guarantee whether jade will come out of the stone, but there is no guarantee, so the profit is high.

, do you think so?

The middle-aged man stopped talking. As a veteran of stone gambling, he certainly understood that even the most experienced jade expert could not be sure whether jade would come out of this stone. This was gambling on life.

The surface of your wool is yellowish-grey. This layer of color looks like it comes from the old pit of Baibi Factory, but the overall performance is too poor. You can see that it is cracked in many places. Another bald uncle said.

After his reminder, everyone suddenly discovered that there were many cracks in the wool, and one on the back even penetrated deep into the stone. This discovery made many people stand on tiptoe desperately to see if there was any jade inside through the cracks, but soon

Unfortunately, the crack is not big and you can't see inside at all.

Looking at the performance of these people, Zhou Ming smiled in his heart, because it was useless even if he showed them the situation inside the crack, because the crack was in the middle of the stone, and according to the description in the biography, the position of the jade should be

On the right side without pine flowers.

Brother, your stone is too difficult. There are so many cracks, but no green can be seen in each crack. The risk is too great. Another younger gambler shouted.

The staff member was still calm: It’s just because you can’t see it, so you need to bet. If you can see the jade through the cracks, then there’s nothing left to bet on. Just put the price clearly on it, don’t you think?

So how much does your wool cost? Someone asked.

The staff then turned over the sign that had been placed in front of the wool. It said 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. This price immediately caused an uproar. It seemed that the jade shop also understood that the quality of the wool was not very good, and there were so many cracks on it. But these cracks

I couldn't see any jade in it, so I set the price a little low in order for people to buy it.

Seeing this price, Lin Muqing took a breath of air. She asked Zhou Ming in disbelief: Such a broken stone costs 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Sister Mu Qing, this is not a broken stone. It is jade mined from a jade mine. It is just that it has not been cut. I don’t know whether there is jade in it or how big a piece of jade is. That’s why I set this price. Otherwise, if it is

A piece of jade of this size would cost more than 20,000, at least 200,000 to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Zhou Ming explained to Lin Muqing.

What if it's really just a piece of broken stone? Lin Muqing asked again.

That's equivalent to buying a piece of broken stone with 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. If every piece of raw material can produce high-quality jade, it wouldn't be called gambling on stone. It's because you don't know what is inside the stone. This unknown

Sex makes people crazy, and the ups and downs are more exciting than stocks. Zhou Ming said, otherwise, look at the eyes of the people next to you.

After hearing what Zhou Ming said, Lin Muqing realized that the eyes of the gamblers around her were staring at the broken stone, as if it was not a stone but a piece of gold.

At this time, the staff spoke again: Dear bosses, according to the rules of our jade shop, the 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is only the base price. Bosses, you can quote as you like. Whoever quotes the higher price in the end will get the raw material.

Zhou Ming secretly laughed in his heart. It seems that this jade shop can really make money. They even have a bidding process for this raw material. They put a minimum price here and let the punters shout up. In this way, the jade shop will not lose money.

, maybe you can even make a fortune.

While Zhou Ming was thinking, people were already shouting prices at the scene. After all, everyone came here to bet on stones, and this piece of wool also came from the best white wall factory among the eight old factories in Myanmar. It was worth betting on, maybe with luck.

If it's better, you can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and everyone is an experienced gambler. Look at the pine flowers on this wool, no matter how bad it is, you won't lose money.

With this idea in mind, the price of this piece of wool was quickly raised to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Seeing the enthusiastic expressions of the gamblers around her, Lin Muqing said to Zhou Ming: Are these people crazy? The price of a stone has increased by one and a half times.

These are gamblers. They all hope to buy this stone. They hope that a large piece of jade will come out of this stone. Even if it doesn't produce a whole piece of jade, he can still earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars if half of it produces jade. Zhou Ming

He explained that since there are so many cracks on the stone and no jade can be seen in these cracks, even a gambler would not pay too high a price. The price should be 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet. Faced with the high price of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, they were unwilling to spend more because they did not think this stone was worth more.

Money, so no matter what the staff said, no one called out the price anymore.

At this time, Lin Muqing turned around and asked Zhou Ming: Are you planning to bid?

Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled: Sister Mu Qing, we only have 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Even if I want to bid, I have no chance.

Lin Muqing let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhou Ming didn't become like those gamblers, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
