I don’t know who shouted that this place was going to be broken. Hundreds of people cheered and surrounded Yang Hao’s booth. There were still people behind who were trying to squeeze in. If it hadn’t been for the conference security.
In time, Yang Hao's shed may be crushed to pieces.
The third child, Zhang Rong, and his wife, who were originally on the innermost floor with Zhuang Rui, were almost squeezed out just now. No one respects the old and loves the young. If the third child and Zhuang Rui were not strong enough,
I’m afraid I don’t know which corner I’ve been squeezed into for a long time.
"Boss, I wonder if you should wipe it first or cut it directly?"
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yang Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and asked the middle-aged man.
"Boss, you have to help me move the rocks..." the middle-aged man replied.
"That's, that's..."
After hearing the middle-aged man's reply, Yang Hao called to his brother and the middle-aged man to move the nearly 200 kilograms of wool to the stone cutting machine. Seeing the middle-aged man's actions, he seemed to want to cut it.
It was cut directly. Originally, the bet on the crack was to bet on whether there would be green under the crack. There was not much point in rubbing the stone.
"Zhuang Rui, is the jade really coming from these stones?"
Seeing the enthusiastic crowd around her, Zhang Rong leaned on Lao San and asked Zhuang Rui. She didn't quite believe that the exquisite and clear jadeite was actually taken out of these ugly-looking stones.
"Of course, you'll find out later. This stone gambling is very addictive. You have to watch your husband carefully in the future."
Zhuang Rui smiled and replied that he knew that there would be jade in this piece of wool. The middle-aged man bought it for 850,000, so he must have made a profit.
The stone cutting machine was next to the stall, and while Zhuang Rui and Zhang Rong were talking, the three of them were basically ready.
After Yang Hao put the wool on the stone cutter, he wiped his sweat and said to the middle-aged man: "Is the boss going to cut it himself, or does he need to find a master?"
At this jade bidding fair, there were many master stone cutters who specialized in cutting or polishing stones for customers. These master masters are very experienced and can control the strength of the knife very well. They can stop it in time after it comes out green.
To avoid damaging the jadeite inside, ask them to cut the stone, which only costs a small amount of money.
"No, I'll do it myself. When I cut it later, you can help me pour some water on it..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, indicating that he would operate it. He looked like he was an experienced stone gambler. After instructing Yang Hao to align the cut surface of the stone with the crack, the middle-aged man walked to the stone cutting machine.
The area around the originally noisy stall suddenly became silent. Only some noisy sounds could be heard from the stalls in the distance. However, around this stall, people watching the stone cutting held their breaths and stared intently.
The piece of wool under the stone cutter.
"Youngest, why am I feeling a little nervous? This stone is not mine either..."
Lao San's voice attracted several dissatisfied looks, as if the middle-aged man hadn't started cutting stones yet because of Lao San. In fact, everyone onlookers had this feeling, just like playing poker, with a lot of stakes.
Before a relatively big card game is announced, both the spectators and the parties involved can't help but feel nervous.
"Third brother, this is the charm of gambling on stones. If you cut it with one knife, the stone may be worth millions, or it may become worthless. This is a game played by the rich." Zhuang Rui answered the third brother calmly.
He said, but Zhuang Rui didn't realize that he had already entered this game circle.
While several people were talking, the middle-aged man was still observing the cracked hair, with a nervous look on his face. It seemed that the 850,000 yuan was not a small amount for him. After about
After about five minutes, the middle-aged man put his hand on the stone cutter and finally prepared to cut the stone.
With the "chacha" sound caused by the friction between the saw gear and the stone, although it was impossible to see what was going on inside from such a distance, the onlookers were still worried and stared closely at the place where the saw teeth had cut.
.
"Chichi..."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man lifted up the saw teeth on the stone cutter, and the idling saw teeth made a "chi chi" sound. Everyone thought it was green, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.
"Pour some water..."
The middle-aged man gave an order, and Yang Hao, who was waiting next to him, quickly used the watering can in his hand to wash away all the debris next to the incision. The middle-aged man took a small brush and carefully cleaned the inside of the incision.
He picked out the gravel chips, then squatted there and observed carefully, but his face was obviously not very good-looking.
Zhuang Rui watched from the side and secretly laughed in his heart. Cutting from this crack would definitely be a waste of effort. Even if the piece of wool was divided into two, there would not be a trace of green.
"It seems like it collapsed."
"Yes, the risk of gambling is very high."
"Don't talk nonsense. The stone hasn't been untied, and the gods don't know whether it will rise or fall. Maybe the sides are green."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the crowd of onlookers. These people were all jade merchants from all over the country. They were experienced in stone gambling and expressed their opinions on everything.
"Okay, stop arguing and start unraveling stones again."
As the middle-aged man stood up with a serious look on his face, Zhuang Rui was keenly aware that the middle-aged man's originally steady hands were now holding the stone cutter, and they were trembling slightly. It was obvious that the middle-aged man was worried about the incision just now.
I'm not optimistic about it, maybe I already regret it in my heart.
It seemed that he had already made up his mind. After turning on the stone cutter, the middle-aged man did not hesitate anymore and cut it directly with his hands. With the friction sound of "chacha", the whole piece of wool was divided into two parts from the middle.
"well……"
Huge sighs came from the crowd around. It was obvious that there was no green on the cut surfaces on both sides of the wool. Generally, the bet on a cracked stone is how deep the crack is. If no jade emerges from the cracked place,
It is basically useless. The current performance shows that this stone has lost its bet.
"Impossible, this is impossible. How can there be no trace of green in the wool with pine flower outer covering?"
The middle-aged man couldn't believe what he saw. He forgot to turn off the stone cutter in his hand and kept mumbling to himself. His eyes looking at the woolen material on the ground under the lens revealed everything.
A look of disbelief.
"Eight hundred thousand is just gone?"
Not only the middle-aged people, but also the old couple around Zhuang Rui were shocked. This was 800,000 yuan. They didn't eat or drink, and they didn't have so much salary for a lifetime.
In just a few minutes, it disappeared.
"The remaining ingredients can still be gambled..." Zhuang Rui said softly.
"Can I still bet? The cracks are not even green, so it is just a piece of scrap. Who is willing to spend money to gamble."
A person next to Zhuang Rui said, and several people around him nodded. This is the cruelty of betting on stones. If you win, you will be worth a hundred times as soon as you win, but if you lose the bet, you will be worthless immediately.
Zhuang Rui's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't say anything and continued to look at the middle-aged man in the venue.
The middle-aged man also came to his senses at this moment, his face was ashen, he leaned down, almost put his spectacle lenses on the cut half of the wool, and carefully observed the white crystal substance on the cut surface. After a while, he became decadent.
He shook his head and just sat down on the dirt floor.
"The wool part of the pine flower can still be wiped."
Yang Hao reminded in a low voice from the side that the first piece of wool on the stall was ruined, and it would have a great impact on Yang Hao's subsequent sales.
Yang Hao's words seemed to remind the middle-aged man. The man quickly climbed up without Yang Hao's help. His somewhat thin body actually carried the half of the wool, which weighed seventy or eighty kilograms, onto the stone cutting machine.
, the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes.
However, this time the stone wiping ended in failure. A full five or six centimeters thick were removed from the pine flowers, but still no green came out. At this time, the crowd let out a huge sigh again, and some people had already turned and left.
The middle-aged man was still a little unwilling to give up. After looking at the cut surface of the wool for a while, he turned the wool over and made another cut from the cut surface, cutting the wool that was originally divided into two pieces into three sections.
"It's green, it's green..."
After the knife went down, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to look at the cut surface of the wool and shouted loudly, but the voice gradually became quieter. Among the people present, only Zhuang Rui knew the reason. This knife cut out some scattered jadeite under the pine flower.
Yes, but it can't be connected, so it's still not worth a lot of money.
"The planting is okay. The water level is very average, barely enough to reach the level of dry green planting. However, there is no surface and no lines, so you can't dig out much jadeite."
After hearing the middle-aged man's shout, several people in the circle also stepped forward to observe the section. After looking at it for a while, they all shook their heads and left.
At this time, a jade merchant who was watching the excitement said: "Friend, I paid 50,000 yuan to buy this green half of your wool. How about it? Can you sell it?" This piece of wool was cut from the side.
Judging from the performance, I can dig out some jade and make some pendants.
The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard this. He really didn't have the courage to cut anymore. Judging from the performance of this section, it was difficult to find a group of jadeite. This time, he lost all his money in the stone bet.
.
"Three yuan, all 100,000 yuan is yours."
The middle-aged man was able to pick it up and put it down. After calming down for a while, he came out of the shadow of failure, put the three pieces of cut wool together, and said to the jade merchant who made the price, "Anyway, it's already..."
If you lose money, you can earn back a little bit.
After hearing this, the jade merchant carefully examined the three pieces of wool, put aside the half of the wool that was full of gray-white crystals after the second cut, then pointed to the remaining two pieces of wool and said to the middle-aged man: "I
