"Um...Boss Wu, how much did you buy at that time?"
Mr. Tang hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth. You know, the truth can sometimes be very painful.
"Three million. At that time, the man said that this was old material from the Houjiang Jade Mine. If the bet goes up a few points, he would make his money back. Mr. Tang, do you think this can make back the money?"
Boss Wu is not stupid either. After seeing Mr. Tang's reaction, he realized that the quality of the jade he cut out of the rough stone was not very good. Now he no longer thinks about how much money he will make. If he can avoid losing money, Boss Wu will
I am already satisfied.
"Ahem..."
When Mr. Tang heard Boss Wu's words, he almost couldn't breathe, "3 million? Remove the two zeros from the end and then change the word ten thousand to thousands... It's almost the same..."
"Boss Wu, it is true that this piece of material comes from Houjiang Jade Farm, but it is not grown in Houjiang Laokeng. The skin of Laohoujiang jade is thin and gray-green-yellow, and the individuals are very small, rarely exceeding 0.3 kilograms. The water is good.
Good, often produced with full green and high emerald green, less fog and more cracks, the color of the finished product is better than that of the original stone (that is, the color is increased), and the processing performance is good, so it is an ideal material for making ring faces.
The skin of the new Houjiang jade is thicker than that of the old Houjiang jade, and the size is larger, generally around 3 kilograms. The water and bottom are worse than those of the old Houjiang jade. The density and hardness are slightly smaller, and there are more cracks. The polished finished product is not as good as the color of the original stone.
, even if it is full of green and high in emerald green, it is difficult to make high-end jewelry.
The green head of this piece of material is not very good, and the planting water is also very average. In my opinion, I can just leave it at home and think about it..."
Both are rough stones from Houjiang Jade Factory, but the jade from Laokeng and the jade from Xinkeng are incomparable in terms of quality and value. After careful consideration, Mr. Tang still gave Boss Wu some face, but he was embarrassed.
He said that this thing was only worth a few thousand yuan, but he used the Spring and Autumn technique of antique shops to hint to Boss Wu.
"Hey, Mr. Tang, this... has a price, right?"
Old Tang's words were rather vague, but he couldn't stand it. Boss Wu was not a person in the antiques business, so he failed to understand Old Tang's good intentions. As soon as Old Tang finished speaking, he asked if this thing was really worthless.
, then wouldn’t staying at home make you feel uncomfortable every day?
"I said... Sir, the texture of the jadeite in this rough stone is very average, and it only belongs to the middle and low-end jadeite. If I insist on giving a market price, it is probably about Waner8000. Compared with the imperial green
,hehe……"
Seeing Mr. Tang's expression of embarrassment, Director Yu stood aside and spoke. He was not in the jade business, and he was not afraid of offending anyone. He explained the problem clearly in a few words, especially the chuckle at the end, which made Boss Wu
His originally fair complexion instantly turned as red as pig liver.
"You...why are you talking like that? This stone was bought for three million..."
This loss of three million was nothing to Boss Wu, but the failure of the stone gambling made Boss Wu, who had always been famous in the shopping mall, a little bit intolerable. He regarded stone gambling as a business and spent a lot of money.
Three million dollars to buy an item worth three thousand dollars only shows that he has extremely poor vision. This is what makes Boss Wu intolerable.
"Everyone, the risk of gambling on stones is too high. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade. No one can see clearly what is inside this stone. Some people spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a rough stone, and there are cases where they are left penniless after unlocking it.
…”
When Mr. Tang saw Boss Wu looking embarrassed, he gave him a step down. This time, no one sarcastically mocked Boss Wu, because all the successful people present now understood the cruelty of stone gambling. In just ten years,
In a matter of minutes, two rough stones worth a combined value of more than 5 million had become penniless. No one could guarantee that their next stone would not encounter the same result as them.
"Xiao Qin, continue..."
Seeing that Boss Wu's face was still not very good, but he didn't speak anymore, Mr. Tang looked at Director Qin and asked him to continue to analyze the stones. It was too difficult to communicate with these laymen. Mr. Tang had already made up his mind.
Even if I offend some customers this time, I will no longer participate in such activities.
Director Qin nodded, picked up another rough stone and placed it on the stone-calculating machine. The people watching now no longer had the energy they had just now. They all realized that this stone was not as good as the rumors said.
Reach the sky in one step.
The stone gambling circle has always been dominated by winners and losers, reporting good news but not bad news. If someone bets on a piece of top-quality jade, it will spread throughout the country's stone gambling shops in less than a day, but those who are worth tens of millions
Those who lose all their eggs are quickly eliminated and forgotten by this circle.
So although everyone knows that there are risks in stone gambling, it does not stop large sums of money from being invested in the stone gambling circle. However, compared with these bosses who are not the first-class rich people in the country, there are more wealthy people who invest money in stone gambling.
Most of them buy raw materials and collect them in the hope of increasing their value, but they will not do such irrational things.
The next unraveling of the stone brought a lot of ugly people to the venue. Although it was expected, but seeing that the rough stone that I had bet on was still alive, after the unraveling was far from what I expected, I felt naturally at ease.
There will be a feeling of loss.
"Kaka...kaka..."
With the harsh friction sound, the seventh rough stone that everyone had high hopes for was cut open at the waist, and the white crystals showed that it was another piece of waste.
"Impossible, how could this happen?"
"The material outside is almost like glass, why is there nothing inside?"
"20 million, I made a heavy bet of 20 million, this... this..."
When the seventh rough stone was solved, there was a loud noise in the field. You know, except Zhuang Rui, almost everyone was optimistic about this rough stone and placed heavy bets on it. However, the performance of this stone was as good as
What they imagined was completely different. Not to mention the jade grown in glass, it was not even as good as the jade grown in beans.
"Mr. Tang, this...isn't this too weird? Why does it look good on the outside, but there is nothing on the inside? I asked an expert to look at this rough stone..."
The person who asked the question was surnamed Hao. He spent 12 million yuan to buy this piece of material from a rough stone merchant in Chaozhou. Boss Hao was not a brainless person. He hired someone from Guangzhou at that time.
A person who claimed to be an expert in stone gambling saw the information. At that time, the expert swore that the rough stone would be worth at least hundreds of millions when it was extracted, so Boss Hao spent the money to get it.
After hearing Boss Hao's words, a boss who had lost his previous bet also said: "Yes, I also asked an expert from Guangzhou to look at the material I made in front of me. They all said it was a good material, so he bought it."
Mom’s woolen fabrics are purely fake…”
"Ahem, everyone, I wonder who the stone gambling master you hired is?"
Director Qin, who was standing in the circle, asked. From the perspective of several of them, they had already seen that these rough stones were fake. However, it was not their own fault. Zhuang Rui and others were unwilling to say anything more until this moment.
Boss Hao asked relentlessly, and then Director Qin asked this question.
"The surname is Xie..."
"I'm asking for the surname Sun..."
"The surname is Zhou. He is said to be an expert from the World Jade Association. Well, I still have his business card here..."
The names mentioned by several people were all different. Boss Hao also carried Expert Zhou's business card with him. After finding it, he handed it to Director Qin.
"Permanent Director of the Asian Jade Association? Member of the World Jade Association?"
After Boss Qin read out the title on the business card, Mr. Tang and others were immediately stunned. He and Zhuang Rui could be regarded as the Beidou in the jade stone circle, but they had never heard such a cool name before. It seemed that
...There is no jade association in Asia, right?
"Hey, the expert I invited is also from the Asia Jade Association. Look, this is his business card..."
After Director Qin finished speaking, another boss also took out a business card from his bag. When Director Qin took both business cards in his hands, several people standing close to Director Qin immediately saw something.
The child is strange.
The two business cards were put together. Except for the names on them, the rest, such as the title, printing, paper and the decoration on them, were almost exactly the same. Although the bosses in the venue did not know how to gamble with stones, they were not aware of the intrigues in the mall.
They are so proficient that they don’t need to think too much, they all understand in their hearts... that they have been deceived.
"Everyone, I would like to make it clear that the most authoritative jade appraisal institution in China is the National Jade Association. Its address is Beijing... You can also search it through the website. As for the Asian Jade Association, it should... be a lie.
organization!"
Mr. Tang's words eliminated the last trace of luck in many people's minds. Facts have proved that these veterans who have always set traps for others in the business world have indeed succeeded this time.
"Call the police, be sure to call the police and catch them..."
"Yes, call the police, damn, I've been hunting geese all day long, but I didn't expect my eyes to be pecked..."
"I asked my police friends in Guangzhou to control the expert first..."
Someone started to call the police, which immediately made the bosses, who were originally like eggplants beaten by frost, become excited. Some even took out their mobile phones, preparing to use their connections to arrest the expert who was colluding with the scammers.
For these people, money is a small matter but face is a big deal. If they don't catch these people who set up traps for them, it will be difficult to quell the hatred in everyone's hearts.
"Call the police? How to call the police? The person who sold the rough stones has probably run away a long time ago. Even if you catch the "expert", you can't do anything to others. Just "misread" and you can completely shirk the responsibility..."
