Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh gambling (two)
Chapter 967: Gambling Down (2)
Tang Zenan's family has been dealing in jade and jade since before liberation. It can be regarded as a jade family. In the 1970s and 1980s, Tang Zenan left his work unit and started a jade business.
In the past few decades, Tang Zenan has used countless stone bets to prove his unshakable position in the appraisal of raw jade stones. Before Zhuang Rui appeared, there was only one "Emerald King" in the country, and that was Tang Zenan.
However, Zhuang Rui emerged two years ago. He first started his stone gambling legend at a jade trade fair in Nanjing. He spent a few thousand yuan and made tens of millions in profits.
Later, in the Pingzhou public sale, Zhuang Rui and others won the title of the best bidder in the public sale. After the on-site stone analysis, the profit exceeded 100 million yuan. It was the Burmese jade public sale that followed that Zhuang Rui really shined.
.
At that auction, Zhuang Rui only solved one piece of jade, but it was that rare piece of top-quality red jade that forged Zhuang Rui's legendary reputation in the jade stone betting business.
Throughout the history of Zhuang Rui's stone gambling, many people discovered that he had never made a mistake. Moreover, every time he bet on the rough jadeite, the price of the jadeite increased sharply. Most of the jadeites that appeared were rare and rare for ordinary people to see in decades.
Therefore, although Zhuang Rui has not been involved in the stone gambling circle for a long time, he has been dubbed the "Emerald King" of the North by some good people, and has been accepted by many people by default.
Although Zhuang Rui's reputation in the stone gambling circle is slightly inferior to that of Mr. Tang, he has a wide range of interests. He has not only made achievements in the jade shop, but also has a resounding reputation in the antique collecting circle.
Speaking of the gambling stone circle, there are definitely many more people who know Zhuang Rui than those who know Mr. Tang.
Now Han Haowei proposed to let the two generations of "Emerald Kings" compete, which immediately aroused everyone's response. This is a rare spectacle. No matter who wins or loses, it will become a good story in the stone gambling circle.
At this moment, everyone almost forgot that Zhang Yunhui was still unraveling the stone, and they all started making noises, hoping to promote the peak showdown between Zhuang Rui and Mr. Tang.
"Click... click... click!"
Suddenly, the idling sound of a stone cutter resounding through the entire venue, causing the people who were discussing Zhuang Rui and Mr. Tang to choose wool for gambling to return their attention to the rough stone.
The dust was flying and the air was filled with white dust. No one could see clearly the cut surface of the original stone. After about tens of seconds, the smooth and neat cut surface was revealed.
Those with sharp eyes immediately cried out after seeing the cross section clearly: "It's broken, it's still not green!"
"Oh, luckily I listened to Teacher Zhuang and didn't take action just now..."
"Yeah, I'm afraid this material is really cheap. Not to mention 70 million, 7 million rmb is not worth it..."
"Lao Zhang has suffered a huge loss now, 6.8 million euros. I'm afraid his vitality will be damaged..."
"You deserve it. Teacher Zhuang didn't provoke him. Who made him want to step on others and get the upper hand? This is called asking for it..."
There were many understanding people among the crowd of onlookers. They were very clear about Zhang Yunhui's provocation to Zhuang Rui at the beginning. This directly led to Zhang Yunhui's first bet on the increase, but he was faced with the situation of being unable to sell, and then he bet on the stone circle.
This is probably the first time I have spoken.
Boss Zhang's face was ashen at this moment, and he no longer had the energy he had when he pointed out the country with great enthusiasm. Looking at the smooth cut surface of the jade material on the stone cutting machine, Zhang Yunhui wanted to run into it.
As the saying goes, everything depends on being strong. Zhang Yunhui originally thought that Zhuang Rui was a soft persimmon, and wanted to use this to establish his position in the stone betting circle, but he did not expect that in the end, he turned into a clown, and the attempt was in vain. Not to mention, the direct economic losses amount to tens of millions.
Boss Zhao, who had made an offer earlier, walked around the rough stone a few times and said unexpectedly: "Boss Zhang, I want this piece of material for 20 million, what do you think?"
"Hey, Lao Zhao took advantage of the situation and robbed him..."
"Yes, I want to buy the materials I bought for 70 million for 20 million. This business is a good deal..."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's not even worth 20 million. The green section is worth at most 7 or 8 million..."
When Boss Zhang raised the price, the venue became lively again. Many jewelers were thinking in their minds whether they should lower the price? Because as long as the green penetrates to the width of a finger, the price of 20 to 30 million is still worth it.
"20 million? Old Zhao, you are so unreasonable..."
Zhang Yunhui refused without even thinking about it. At this moment, he only felt aggrieved, and his alveoli were about to explode. He was really being bullied by a dog.
It only took an hour from Zhuang Rui's review to now, but the price was completely different. Only at this moment did Zhang Yunhui truly realize what the expert effect is?
That old Zhao was not angry either. In business, of course he wants to maximize profits. He said with a smile: "Old Zhang, with the performance of your material, 20 million is not low. What if the green is very thin?" I spent 20 million and lost money..."
Zhang Yunhui was angry, but had no way to vent it. He waved his hands and said fiercely: "No, no, I won't sell it even if I keep it to pad the toilet at home!"
Everyone could see that Boss Zhang had lost his sense of proportion, but he still performed well. The number of people who jumped off the building after losing their entire family and fortune by betting on stones was no less than the number of people who jumped off the building after the stock market crashed.
"Xiao Zhang, as the old saying goes, nine times out of ten you lose, the same goes for betting on stones. No one can become a victorious general. Don't worry about it. If you really don't want to sell it, just keep this piece of material for a few years..."
Mr. Tang was kind-hearted. After seeing Zhang Yunhui's appearance, he stepped forward to persuade him. He had been in this business for too long. He would have lost it with not only 60 to 70 million yuan of raw stone materials, but also with hundreds of millions of materials. , he has also seen it with his own eyes.
Zhang Yunhui said with a depressed face: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Tang, I listen to you..."
He originally wanted to cut it again and take a look, but if that happened, the entire piece of material would basically be useless. After thinking about it again and again, Boss Zhang accepted Mr. Tang's opinion.
Now the price of the jadeite market is almost the same every day, especially the trading of raw jadeite is even more popular. In a few years, when the raw stones are mined out, even Zhang Yunhui's gambled material will become something that everyone is fighting for. object.
Therefore, Zhang Yunhui understands what Mr. Tang said very well. If you leave this piece of information, you still have a chance to turn around. Moreover, some large domestic companies now have a lot of hot money in the industry. Maybe you can swindle them out if you find an opportunity.
"Boss Zhuang, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"
"Teacher Zhuang, I haven't seen you for two years, right? Can we sit together in the evening?"
"Hey, I say, let's all find a place to have a meal together, and we can also ask Teacher Zhuang and Mr. Tang for advice..."
Although this piece of material could not be fully solved, Zhuang Rui's comments just now were all correct. Facts have proved that this rough stone has indeed failed in gambling. Those who originally doubted Zhuang Rui's stone gambling skills have all
He said that he had an affair with Zhuang Rui.
People who can come to Myanmar to gamble on stones are basically wealthy. No one cares about such a small amount of money. Now there is a fight over who should be the host.
As for Boss Zhang, who was enjoying great success just now, he quietly packed up the rough stone alone, rented a car and left with the help of the staff. In this business, the winner is the king and the loser. If you gamble, you will be popular, and if you gamble, you will collapse.
Otherwise, no one cares.
In the end, more than a hundred people gathered around Jieshi District decided to go to a nearby hotel for a meal. As for who was treating them, Zhuang Rui didn't know who was treating them, so he was pulled over in a daze.
"Brother Zhuang, what's the matter? Do you agree or disagree with the suggestion I just made?"
After sitting down in the hotel, Han Haowei still didn't forget his suggestion. He took a drink of water to moisten his throat and brought up the topic again.
"Old Han, aren't you talking nonsense? Elder Tang's status in the stone gambling circle is obvious to everyone. Why should I, a junior, join in the fun..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hands repeatedly, not because he lacked confidence, but because he didn't want to live up to his fame. With his current net worth, he no longer needed to rely on fame.
"Xiaozhuang, the materials on sale this time are of mixed quality. It really requires a good eye. How about you and I each pick a piece of wool and let's try it?"
What Zhuang Rui didn't expect was that Mr. Tang was very interested in Han Haowei's suggestion. As soon as he said this, people at more than ten tables in the hotel started making noises.
The fact that Tang Zenan could say such a thing is enough to show that in his heart, Zhuang Rui's rough stone appraisal level is at least on the same level as his.
Zhuang Rui is only a young man, so he is so valued by Mr. Tang. It seems that from today on, Zhuang Rui will be firmly established as the "Emerald King" of the North.
"Brother Zhuang, didn't the old man say that you have lost your reputation in the past two years? Just take a gamble. No one is betting anyway, so what are you afraid of?"
When Zhuang Rui was still about to refuse, Peng Fei suddenly said something like this in his ear, which made Zhuang Rui stunned for a moment.
"That's right. Many people in this Jade Association are questioning themselves. Now is an opportunity to prove themselves."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui laughed, looked at Mr. Tang and said: "Old man, since you are so interested, I will accompany you. How about we each choose a piece of material tomorrow and untie it here?"
"Okay, okay! Young people, you should be energetic, this matter is settled!" When Mr. Tang heard Zhuang Rui's words, he immediately became happy.
After hearing what Zhuang Rui said about the rough stone just now, Mr. Tang was secretly shocked. With his eyesight, he did not dare to say that the piece of material was green, but Zhuang Rui was actually right.
Tang Zenan has never met an opponent in the stone gambling circle for so many years. Now that he is old, a person whose eyesight is not as good as his appears. This makes Mr. Tang, who has always been aloof from the world, feel very happy and can't help but want to fight with him.
