Chapter 240 Is this the joy of gambling on stones?
Depending on the size of the original stone, the master will actually recommend the stone cutting method.
Mainly divided into wire cutting, slice cutting, and stone cutting.
Small rough stones are generally cut with weights to avoid as much as possible the jade inside which will be chopped into pieces.
Large stones will be cut with wires or slices.
The stone chosen by Hong Junle was half a person tall, and the stone cutter chose to cut it into slices.
The blade of the slicing machine cut into ten pieces of 10 centimeters, and there was still no green color.
Hong Junle clenched his fists nervously, praying in his heart that he would get the green result.
Mr. Ning next to him had a smile on his face, as if he was taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
The blade continued to cut about 5 centimeters deeper, and green appeared on the stone.
The stone cutter immediately stopped and shouted: "It's green!"
Everyone straightened their backs and came to watch the fun.
Hong Junle laughed excitedly and said: "Master Ning, you said you haven't won it after watching it for more than half a month. Do you think it's a loss now?"
Ning Shao looked annoyed, rolled his eyes at Hong Junle angrily, and said nothing.
Others congratulated Hong Junle.
"Brother Le, you are awesome! You are really in the green."
"So when it comes to playing this game, you have to be decisive. If you think it's in stock, buy it immediately. Don't hesitate. Look at Mr. Ning, you can still miss out on the fortune."
"It's green. It's green. I just don't know what kind of green it will be."
…
Hong Junle immediately said confidently: "For my luck, it must be imperial green!"
"Ah..." Everyone laughed.
The stone cutter continued cutting while everyone stared intently.
Soon, everyone could see that the color of the jadeite was not the imperial green that Hong Junle had expected, but Zhengyang green.
Everyone sighed, everyone seemed disappointed.
Ning Shao said with a smile: "Brother Le, the one you bought is Zhengyang Green, I'm afraid you will lose money."
Hong Junle looked ugly and stared at the stone without saying a word.
Not long after, the entire jadeite was cut out, and after simple polishing, it weighed 403 grams.
The appraiser from Mingcuifang gave a quotation. The recycling price of jadeite of this quality is 20,000 per gram.
This means that if Hong Junle sells the jadeite to Mingcuifang, he will receive 8.06 million.
He spent 25 million yuan to buy this stone, but got back 8.06 million yuan, a loss so great that he didn’t even recognize it.
Ning Shao laughed loudly and said: "Be careful to sail the ten thousand year ship. To play this game, you have to be cautious, considerate, and think twice before making a move. Decisive? Those who lose their pants are decisive people. Anyone who hesitates
You won’t lose everything at all. Haha..."
Hong Junle's face looked ugly. Even though the Zhengyang Green Jadeite had been opened, he felt even worse than the "Air Force".
The onlookers quickly comforted Hong Junle and flattered him.
"I think Brother Le's vision is fine, but he's just a little unlucky. After all, no one can see how big the jadeite inside the stone is."
"Yes, I think so too. I wasn't lucky enough this time, but I will definitely be better next time."
"Brother Le finally got an emerald, but I didn't get any of my five million hairs. In comparison, Brother Le is much better than me."
…
No matter how others flatter him, Hong Junle has actually lost more than 10 million, and he cannot be in a good mood.
Hong Junle turned to look at Yang Chen. He felt that his impulsiveness had something to do with Yang Chen.
Because just now he asked Yang Chen if he thought there was anything in that stone, and Yang Chen told him that there was something in it.
And because Yang Chen paid 67 million to buy the three stones very decisively, Hong Junle thought that he knew very well, and he said that if there was something in it, there would definitely be something in it.
Therefore, Hong Junle snatched the stone worth 25 million from Ning Shao without hesitation.
Now that he has lost 17 million, he feels very uncomfortable and wants to find someone to take the blame.
Hong Junle said to Yang Chen: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't told me that there was something in it, I wouldn't have grabbed it so decisively."
Yang Chen chuckled and said: "Did I say something wrong? There is indeed something in it!"
Hong Junle: "But you didn't tell me that you would lose money."
Yang Chen: "You didn't even ask me if I would lose money!"
Hong Junle was speechless.
Mr. Ning was in a good mood and said: "Brother Le, I think this brother is right. You only asked if the goods are available, but you didn't ask whether you would lose money. People say there are goods, and there is indeed goods."
Hong Junle's face was ashen and he said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and open your rocks and see what good things you can choose."
"This stone, which has been recognized by many experts, has lost money. He, a novice who comes to play for the first time, must have lost blood."
"It's normal. This is a process that every player must go through. If he makes a lot of money the first time he comes, then his luck is too bad."
"I have been playing for more than ten years, and I still have a high probability of picking an empty stone. He is an online ride-hailing driver, and this is his first time playing. Even if it is a novice gift package, he will win at most one small stone."
"Ha ha……"
Yang Chen asked for a glass of water, sat down with his legs crossed and looked at the big screen.
The entire stone-cutting process will be projected on a big screen by a high-power camera for everyone in the hall to watch.
If a good product comes out, everyone can make a decision in the shortest time whether to bid for it.
However, usually no one actually sits down to watch the big screen, almost all of them surround the stone cutter to witness the whole process with their own eyes.
Betting on stones is about heartbeat, whether you will be rich or poor, and what you pursue is the excitement.
But Yang Chen didn't feel this way. In addition to the stone recommended by Lin Jing, the other five stones would definitely turn green. He only needed to wait for all six stones to be cut out.
However, he could be so calm, but Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi could not remain calm. Their last hope rested on the 35 million rough stone.
Therefore, they were watching very nervously, their hands and feet trembling.
The stone cutter picked up a small stone and cut it using a stone cutter.
"Empty!" Master Qi said.
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
This stone was recommended by Lin Jing, and it was originally out of stock.
Hong Junle seemed to be more balanced in his heart, and said: "Brother, you can't do this! I thought you could pick out some precious eggs. I saw you were so decisive in paying just now, I thought you really understood and listened to you
The nonsense robbed Mr. Ning of his stone. Sigh...I really regret it now."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.
Ning Shao showed a proud smile and said: "Betting on stones is to calm down and persuade people to be decisive and thunderous!"
Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi looked back at Yang Chen, who looked calm, crossed his legs, and looked at his mobile phone and the big screen. They felt very nervous and conflicted.
Zhou Wenqi ran to Yang Chen and said, "My benefactor, is it really okay?"
Yang Chen took a sip of water and said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. You two don't need to be so nervous, just sit down and drink water and wait. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the hall, no one can change the package or steal our stones
.”
The couple were not worried that the stone would be subcontracted or stolen, they were worried that there was no jade in the stone.
The stone cutter took out the second small stone, and after cutting it for less than 5 centimeters, it turned green.
"It's green!" the stone cutter shouted.
Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi immediately held hands and smiled happily, but the smiles on the other players' faces gradually disappeared.
They all claim to be veteran players, and players who can get to the second floor have to spend at least 300,000 yuan, but many of them have lost millions or even more money without seeing any green.
However, Yang Chen, who came to play for the first time, was just an online ride-hailing driver. The second stone turned green, which made them feel unbalanced.
Soon, all the emeralds in the stone came out.
"Ice Zhengyang Green! 2300 grams." The stone cutter shouted.
The onlookers were talking a lot.
"Wow, such a small stone can produce such a large jadeite!"
"Brother Le's stone is at least five times bigger than this one, but the jadeite that came out was not as much as his."
"Holy crap! This guy's gift package for newbies is pretty awesome!"
"Made, I have been playing for more than ten years and have never found a sun-green jadeite of this quality."
…
Hong Junle's mood, which had just regained balance, suddenly became worse again.
The stone Yang Chen chose only cost 150,000 yuan, but it turned out to be 2,300 grams of Zhengyang Green. The return on investment was too high.
Although they are both Zhengyang Green, Yang Chen's stone yielded 2,300 stones, while Hong Junle's stone yielded only 430 grams, which is completely incomparable.
Because the larger the jadeite material, the higher the value.
Therefore, the comparison in value between the 2,300-gram jade from Yang Chen's stone and the 430-gram jade from Hong Junle is not a simple accumulation of weight.
After expert appraisal by Mingcuifang, the price of this 2,300-gram jadeite was 30,000 yuan per gram, which means that Yang Chen recovered 69 million yuan from this stone alone.
"Wow, 69 million! Oh my god, is it really true?"
"Oh my god, what kind of shitty luck does he have?"
"One stone has paid back! He only spent a total of 67 million, and this one will pay back the money. No matter what the remaining stones are opened, it will be a net profit."
"To be honest, I'm really a little jealous."
…
Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi excitedly ran to Yang Chen to express their congratulations.
Yang Chen still looked very calm and said: "I told you not to worry, just sit down and wait."
Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi nodded and quickly sat next to Yang Chen.
Lin Jing was stunned for a while, and then quickly went to report the situation to the manager.
One stone will pay off, and Mingcuifang will probably lose blood tonight.
The staff put the jade on the tray and put it on the table next to Yang Chen.
At this time, some players began to come together to negotiate with Yang Chen.
"Brother, please sell me this jadeite for 69 million."
"Mingcuifang has offered 69 million. It's not sincere if you only give this price. Brother, I'll offer 70 million, and you give it to me immediately. I'll ask someone to send a check right now. Okay?"
"I offer 72 million, brother, give it to me."
"I offer 75 million, give it to me immediately, brother."
"I have 80 million! Give it to me."
…
Yang Chen asked curiously: "Brothers, if your premium is so high, won't you lose money?"
Several people laughed and briefly explained to Yang Chen why they dared to pay so much premium.
To put it simply, if Zhengyang green of this quality is made into a bracelet, ordinary brands would cost hundreds of thousands more for more than 10 grams.
If it is a big brand, and it is made by a famous designer, and the price exceeds one million, people will pay for it.
Therefore, if they bought it at such a premium, they would definitely make a lot of money by turning it into jewelry later.
The bigger the brand, the more money you make.
If Mingcuifang doesn't make jewelry, the highest price they can offer is 69 million.
But these players have the means to sell things to companies that make accessories, so naturally they dare to buy them at a premium.
Yang Chen nodded, as expected, the most profitable thing was to make end products, while suppliers and middlemen didn't make much.
Yang Chen had made plans before to cooperate with Buffett and Gates on a foreign brand gold and silver jewelry company, but this would take time to prepare and it would not be possible for a while.
So, let’s sell it at a high price.
In the end, the jadeite was sold for 85 million.
Hong Junle next to him was so greedy that he wanted to shed tears. He offered 85 million for one stone. How can he get his money back with just one stone? He obviously made a lot of money with just one stone.
At this moment, the stone cutter shouted again: "It's green!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly gathered around again.
"Holy crap! His luck is so incredible! Three small stones, two of them are green!"
"Oh no, he must be cheating!"
"How did he choose them? I remember he just walked around in a circle and then chose these stones. Does he have any secrets?"
…
Soon, the jade came out.
"Wooden Zhengyang green, 1500 grams!" the stone cutter said loudly.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Here I go, it's Zhengyang green again. Although it's a waxy variety, it's a little less interesting than the ice variety just now, but 1,500 grams is still worth a lot of money."
"I have been in business for almost 12 years and have only produced apple green twice. He has two Zhengyang greens in a row. I don't want to say anything anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay, Nuozhong. If he were still an ice type, I would suspect him of cheating."
…
Soon, experts gave a quote worth 18 million.
As soon as the staff delivered the jade to Yang Chen, other players started vying for quotations.
"I offered 23 million, give it to me!"
"Oh no, why did you add so much? Then I'll give you 25 million."
"I have a broad path. You can't handle me. Don't argue with me. I'll offer you 26 million. Brother, give it to me."
…
In the end, the jadeite was sold for 28 million.
It’s good to have a wide range of routes. If you can find a big brand to take over, the selling price will naturally be higher.
At this time, the manager came over, the middle-aged man from before.
The manager walked up to Yang Chen with a smile and said: "Brother, you are very lucky. Two of the three stones hit, but the instrument is not as accurate as you! Can I ask brother how you saw it?"
Yang Chen: "Aren't you kidding me? If you have such ability, will you tell others?"
Everyone nodded, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Who has such ability and is willing to teach others?
The manager chuckled and nodded, saying: "That's right. Then I will accompany my brother to see what can be obtained from these three big stones."
The staff sent the 12 million stone to the slicing machine.
Line cutting and slice cutting can be understood as relatively rough cutting methods, which can easily cut off the jadeite inside the stone.
However, it would be too time-consuming to slowly grind such a large stone with a stone, and it might even last until dawn.
Therefore, Yang Chen said loudly: "Master, slice it, do as I say."
The stone cutter nodded and quickly prepared to cut the stone.
Yang Chen said loudly: "Open at 5 centimeters on the left side and stop at 12 centimeters deep."
The stone cutter quickly cut it accurately according to Yang Chen's requirements. After only three cuts, he saw green.
"It's green!" the stone cutter shouted.
"Wow..." The whole audience exclaimed.
The manager hurriedly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the green spot on the stone on the big screen.
"I wonder, is it true or not, he can actually cut to a few centimeters accurately?"
"Holy crap! He really is a master! He's pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!"
"Nima, you are obviously a master, but you have to pretend to be a rookie and come here to reduce the dimensionality to attack us, right?"
"What kind of online ride-hailing driver is he? He is clearly a master of stone gambling. This is the first time I have seen a player who can accurately cut a few centimeters to get a green one."
"He must be cheating, right? Or, he is a shill hired by Mingcuifang. He wants to take away all the available stones in Mingcuifang."
…
Amid everyone's discussion, the stone cutter finally took out a whole piece of jade.
"Nuobing Zhengyang Green, 3500 grams!" the stone cutter said loudly.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"I'll wipe it! It's Zhengyang Green again!"
"I stepped on the horse and it split open. This stone has been here for almost three years. Why didn't I choose it?"
"Oh...this is life! I have been coming here at least once a week for three years, but I have never seen it."
"3500 grams, even if it's Zhengyang Green, it's still worth my money."
…
The glutinous ice variety is less interesting than the ice variety, so the price will naturally be lower.
But because it is big enough, the total price of this jadeite will definitely not be low.
Soon, experts from Mingcuifang gave a quotation of 85 million.
The manager's heart was broken and he felt like he was losing blood.
At this time, those players came to Yang Chen to bid again.
"I offer 90 million!"
"I am 95 million!"
"I'll pay 100 million!"
…
In the end, this large jadeite was sold for 110 million.
Ning Shaoqing couldn't help it any longer and hurriedly came over and said to Yang Chen: "Brother, leave your contact information and we can go out to play stone betting in the future. My name is Ning Shaoqing, from the Ning family in Jinling. Whenever you are free, brother, I will
Please go to Jinling Jade Fei Pavilion to have fun."
Yang Chen now feels the joy of gambling on stones, it is indeed very satisfying.
Don't waste your unique skills. If you have time later, go to Jinling City to do some raiding.
Yang Chen smiled and added Ning Shaoqing as a friend.
Keep cutting the stone.
Yang Chen: "Master, open 7 centimeters on the left side and cut 8 centimeters vertically..."
The stone cutter accurately operated the machine to cut according to Yang Chen's requirements, and soon a strong green color appeared.
Stone cutter: "It's green! And... based on the color, it's most likely the one-of-a-kind imperial green!"
"What? Imperial green!"
"Really or not? Is the imperial green coming out?"
"I'm so jealous when I step on a horse!"
…
The manager almost fell off his chair. If the ultimate imperial green was really released, Mingcuifang would really lose money to grandma's house.
Yang Chen still smiled slightly and continued to instruct the master to cut.
After a while, a complete piece of jadeite material came out.
After simple polishing, the emerald green color shocked everyone present.
The manager quickly asked the people next to him to call more people over. This top-grade imperial green was extremely valuable, and he had to find a way to keep it.
Stone cutting master: "The best imperial green! Weight 4500 grams!"
"Wow..." The whole audience exclaimed.
Without waiting for the experts from Mingcuifang to give an appraisal quote, the players came directly to Yang Chen to bid.
"Brother, if I offer 100 million, I want this piece of imperial green!"
"I'll give you 200 million! I'm determined to win!"
"Oh no, you are too cruel! Add 100 million at once!"
"Last month at Sotheby's auction, an imperial green bracelet called "Ring of the Sky" sold for a high price of 100 million. Of course, this bracelet has a historical value bonus. At most, it is worth buying this piece of jade.
If you keep it for decades and then sell it, you will definitely not lose money anyway. This grade of imperial green has been rare for many years, and I can definitely afford it."
"I will offer 300 million! Whoever bids again, I will continue to add 10 million until no one bids."
"Fuck, you are so cruel!"
"Although Imperial Green is indeed valuable, it must be operated by a strong company to realize its value. It is difficult for a company with less strength to fully realize its value. Three hundred million is too high, and I dare not continue.
.”
"If I were this brother, I wouldn't sell it. I would keep it for future generations and make it into a decoration. It will be worth a hundred and eighty years."
…
Damn it, I still have to wait a hundred and eighty years, but Yang Chen doesn't wait, he just seizes the day.
Ning Shaoqing: "Brother Yang, do you plan to sell?"
Yang Chen: "The price of 300 million is indeed very attractive, why not sell it?"
Ning Shaoqing: "To tell you the truth, such top-quality imperial green is really rare to see once in many years. Don't you keep it?"
Yang Chen: "Who can guarantee that the last stone won't yield a better jadeite?"
Everyone looked at the 35 million boulder. Could it be that there is jade in this stone that is more valuable than the best imperial green?
Imperial green is already the best among jadeite, and there cannot be any more awesome jadeite variety than it.
At this time, the manager said with a smile: "Boss Yang is really lucky. I wonder if you can sell these things to our Mingcuifang?"
Yang Chen: "Do you bid higher? If you bid higher, I can sell it to you."
Manager: "Haha... The price is easy to talk about. Let's talk slowly later. If we can't reach an agreement, Boss Yang will sell it to them again. Is that okay?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "No need to bother, you can just quote the price now. If the price is higher than what they gave, I will sell it to you. If the price is not higher than what they gave, then don't say anything."
The manager's intention is to get these things at a low price. How can he offer a higher price?
Manager: "Haha... OK, let's cut the last stone first, and we'll discuss the price later."
Yang Chen nodded, crossed his legs again, and said loudly: "Master, cut the last one. This stone contains a priceless treasure. Master, you must strictly follow my instructions. If there is a difference of even one millimeter, it may cause damage."
I've lost hundreds of millions of dollars, so I can't forgive you lightly."
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
An error of one millimeter may cause losses of hundreds of millions of yuan. Is there Sun Wukong hidden in this stone?
"Brother, what kind of treasure is inside this last stone? A single millimeter error can cause hundreds of millions of yuan in losses. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"That's right! Even if we open another piece of top-quality imperial green, it can't be so exaggerated."
"You must be hiding the Monkey King here. If the error is just one millimeter, his monkey tail might be cut off, right?"
"Ha ha……"
Yang Chen explained: "Although the best imperial green is rare, it can still be found occasionally. Some things must be formed by chance, and that is not something that can be measured with money. For example, is the Monkey King in this what you just mentioned?
? Sun Wukong was formed by chance. There is no such thing in nature. So, is this comparable to the naturally formed Emperor Green? Is this something that can be measured with money? "
After hearing what Yang Chen said, everyone became even more confused.
What on earth could be so precious?
Another point, even if there is Sun Wukong in this, how could Yang Chen see it?
It can't be that his eyes can see through, right?
Damn it, buddy, is the protagonist of the online novel cheating?
