When he got up the next morning, Zhang Yang changed into a set of casual clothes. According to the address he found online, he drove to the Chaoyang store of the headquarters of Liduo Betting Stone Company. The store here covers an area of 500 to 600 square meters and is luxuriously decorated. There is a constant flow of people inside.
Absolutely.
There were security patrols in the hall from time to time. Zhang Yang saw the jade displayed in front of several display cabinets. Some were as big as a fist, some were clear, and some were wrapped with stones. The jade inside could be vaguely seen.
With so many emeralds, no wonder there are so many security guards here. If one is robbed accidentally, the loss will be serious.
Zhang Yang looked around. His target was mainly jadeite stones. This was the only way he could cheat. Those jadeites that had already been cut were of no use to him. There was a special area in the hall filled with shelves.
The shelves are filled with raw jadeite stones.
Zhang Yang took a closer look at the raw jadeite, and sure enough, there was nothing unusual about the surface. No wonder people say gambling on stones. Think about it, mining jadeite from such a stone is really a gamble. Zhang Yang looked at it for a while and thought to himself
These should be all gambling stones.
Not knowing what the semi-blocking material looked like, Zhang Yang continued to walk inside, and soon he saw some incisions on some raw jade stones, revealing the green inside. However, the incisions were not large and were not conspicuous on the stone. These should be
The so-called opening of the window is half a bet. Although you can see green when you open the skylight, no one knows how much jade there is inside. Maybe the whole stone is there, maybe only the place where the window is open has jade.
This is a test of experience and luck.
Further inside, there are exposed materials. Some stones have been cut in half, exposing the jadeite inside, and some have been cut into strips. The general shape and size of the jadeite can be seen clearly.
The prices for these stones were relatively high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. One piece was even priced at 10 million, which made Zhang Yang stunned.
Originally having more than 30 million in capital, Zhang Yang thought he could be considered a rich man, but looking at the jade here, the money he had on hand was only enough to buy a few jade bracelets.
No wonder some people get rich overnight, while others lose everything. It’s so unpredictable.
"Is this your first time, little brother?" A middle-aged man greeted Zhang Yang with a smile.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Well, I've only heard of stone gambling before, but I don't know much about it. When I walked to the door, I came in to take a look. Brother, can you tell me how these stones are sold?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Okay, I happen to be fine! I don't feel anything today, so I'll introduce it to you. We call this kind of full gambling material, which tests eyesight and experience. Of course, the most important thing is luck.
It is said that it is difficult for an immortal to cut through an inch of jade. This is what they are talking about. No one knows what will happen after cutting it out without untying it! So this kind of material is the most common and the price is relatively cheaper! As for semi-gambling materials, the risk is less
There are many, there must be jade in the rough stone, this is certain. However, no one can guarantee the size of the jade. The price will be much higher than that of the full material. There is nothing to say about the raw material, the price is clearly marked.
They are usually bought by jewelry companies for processing. Unless you want an unusual pendant yourself, there is not much profit from the investment."
Zhang Yang nodded, looked at the prices on the shelves, and his thoughts calmed down a lot. Don't explain the materials, they are just those semi-gambling materials. They are often priced at hundreds of thousands or even millions. For such a small opening, the price is high.
Even if there is a profit, it won't be much. Zhang Yang is here to make money. Such a small difference is not as fast as buying lottery tickets.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was not interested in these woolen materials, the middle-aged man said: "Young man, if you want to bet, you can go to the warehouse at the back and have a look. There are many woolen materials there, and the prices are also very different. You can buy one and try it.
hand."
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. To be honest, when he saw these pieces of wool on the shelf, Zhang Yang's heart really dropped. This is a hall where people come and go, and the things are on the shelves. He can't move them down one by one to look at them.
Well, if there is a warehouse and there is more room for selection, even if you hold a stone and look at it for a long time, no one will care.
"Thank you, brother. Then I'll go to the warehouse behind and have a look." Zhang Yang said.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Go ahead, there are many people behind you, go and have a look."
When Zhang Yang left, the middle-aged man smiled. It seemed that there was another person in the stone gambling industry. I just wonder what his luck is.
Not seeing the middle-aged man, Zhang Yang also sneered. If his guess was correct, this man was probably a trustee of Liduo Company. Even if he wasn't Liduo, he was from another stone gambling company. Otherwise, he wouldn't know so much!
As for him introducing himself, he didn’t have any good intentions, just like an insurance seller introducing insurance. This has become their habit. If his guess is good, he will come back to him after a while and he will know.
His purpose.
Zhang Yang no longer believes that there is love for no reason in this world, without any purpose to help him. Are you kidding me? How many such good people are there in this world?
Zhang Yang walked to the backyard. There were more people in the yard than in the store.
There were some people gathered in the middle of the courtyard, and it was so crowded that it was difficult to see inside, but it seemed that a machine in Qingdao was humming. Zhang Yang asked a person at the back, and it turned out that someone was dissecting stones.
Zhang Yang stopped. He had never seen a gambling stone before, and this was also an opportunity to learn about the price of jade.
Until now, he still doesn't know how much the jadeite extracted from the stone is worth? As for the prices in the store, they are all mixed with water and cannot be counted. Now is a good opportunity to avoid not being able to find it later.
Know the value and sell it at a low price.
Unfortunately, reality did not go according to Zhang Yang's plan. The people in the innermost circle suddenly let out a collective cry, and then someone sighed, and the crowd dispersed in twos and threes. Some people walked and said: "It collapsed again."
"This is still half a gambling tip. It cost a total of 50,000 yuan. Who would have thought that it would be just a little green on the surface and there would be nothing inside?"
Zhang Yang's heart trembled when he heard that 50,000 yuan was just gone. The casino could count the money faster!
But thinking of his own superpower, he decided to try it no matter what, so he gritted his teeth and got into the warehouse inside.
There were many people in the warehouse, all picking stones, and they were not affected at all by the failure of the stones outside.
Zhang Yang was dumbfounded when he saw the densely packed jadeite rough stones in the warehouse. If Zhang Yang felt that there were enough rough jadeite stones when he saw them last night, they were nothing compared to here. The gap was not that big.
These rough jade stones were of different sizes. The big ones were as tall as a person, while the small ones were only as big as a fist. Their shapes were also irregular. Zhang Yang stood for a while, not knowing how to proceed.
Looking up at the people picking rough jade stones, Zhang Yang found that those picking rough jade stones had a strong flashlight and a magnifying glass. As expected, they were all professionals. He couldn't blame himself for thinking that the warehouse was a bit dark. He had to bring his own tools!
I searched carefully and found no one like myself who didn't have any tools and was just trying my luck. There was no one.
But Zhang Yang sneered, so what if I have tools, you can't see inside. My eyes can see things you can't see. It's almost time, start working by yourself.
Zhang Yang gave up on those fist-sized woolen ones. The time he had for super powers was limited. He didn't want to waste it on the small ones, so he went straight to the big ones, the ones the size of basketballs, and those that seemed to weigh fifty or sixty kilograms.
They looked over one by one.
Something depressing happened to Zhang Yang. Not to mention jadeite, he didn't even see the green shadow of those jadeite stones, one after another. After more than ten minutes passed, Zhang Yang was already sweating.
Although both eyes can see through, it does not change the use time of the superpower, which means that Zhang Yang only has about fifteen minutes, and now more than half of it has passed. If he had not found the jade, his actions today can be said to be
Completely failed.
And if you fail here, you may also fail when you go to Jade Pavilion. Fortunately, you came to explore the way in advance, otherwise when you face Duan Fei, you won't even have a chance to regret it.
After looking at a few more pieces of wool, Zhang Yang lost confidence and basically gave up.
There are too many emerald rough stones, and the time of his superpower is limited. In the limited time, it is too difficult to find rough emerald stones.
Maybe the stone gambling industry is not suitable for him, Zhang Yang thought dejectedly.
Zhang Yang sat down on an oval piece of wool.
Looking at his watch, Zhang Yang sighed. There was still more than a minute. No wonder it was difficult to bet on stones. He had special powers. He looked at dozens of stones in more than ten minutes, but none of them had jade. Who could he?
Mom said you can bet on stones if you have clairvoyance, but there are so many stones that even clairvoyance can’t see them!
Isn't this just a fucking scam?
Zhang Yang muttered angrily, "There is still one minute anyway, don't waste it." Zhang Yang looked at the stone under his butt indifferently.
