After parting ways with Zhu Feng and his party, Chen Ran and his party, accompanied by Yang Shijie and Master Huang, drove to the main street. Master Huang said that the main street was some distance away from their hotel, but who knew that the business car had just left the hotel street?
Turning onto another street, Yang Shijie stopped the car.
"Are you here? So fast." Guo Hai thought he had already arrived, so he asked in surprise.
"The road is blocked." Yang Shijie turned around and said with a frown.
Chen Ran turned around and saw that construction was going on in front of him. But for some reason, many people gathered around the street and blocked the road. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "What's going on?"
"It's normal to encounter such a situation in Tengchong. Whenever any part of the old city is renovated, there will be a lot of people gathered around. They are all hunting for jade." Master Huang turned around and explained to Chen Ran with a wry smile, with an expression on his face.
These people who hunt for jade seem to be quite disdainful.
"Digging for jade, digging for jade on the street?" Chen Ran was surprised. He had heard of people digging for treasure in old houses, but he had never heard of people digging for jade on the street. Moreover, listening to Master Huang's tone, it seemed that he often dug for jade.
Encountered this.
Master Huang nodded and then said: "Historically, Tengchong City was a distribution center for jade processing. In the past, jade workshops were all over the city. There used to be a lot of jade that was considered bad at the time, or the corners of jade after processing.
Scrap, those jade stones were not valued at the time, but they are treasures now. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Japanese planes bombed Tengchong, a geomantic treasure land, and countless jadeite materials were buried underground in Tengchong, so as long as it is
When digging foundations for construction in the old city, you can always see Taobao people coming to participate in the construction on a voluntary basis. In fact, they are digging for jade for their own selfish reasons."
It can be seen that Master Huang is probably a native of Tengchong. When he talks about Tengchong, his face is full of pride.
Guo Hai was surprised: "Can we dig out jade?"
Master Huang chuckled: "Of course you can, otherwise what else would they dig up? Every time the old city is renovated, they dig out something and make a little fortune. In this way, more and more people want to make a fortune.
There are more, and things have gotten better over the years. Tengchong County has been dug up all over. When we were young, many people were reluctant to build houses for fear that the jade in the ground would be removed when digging.
Whenever someone demolishes a house in the city, many people will gather around it. Generally, whoever picks up something underground first belongs to whomever. When we went to school at that time, we would always carry a small rake with us. When we passed by after school, we would see someone
When the construction site for municipal expansion was breaking ground, they would rake, dig out, and put a few jade fragments in the soil to take home. At that time, they did not dare to let others visit their homes for fear that others would damage their homes.
The scraps buried underground were dug up by people, especially the Japanese, who were not allowed to stand at the gate, because at that time many Japanese soldiers from World War II came to Tengchong City with maps to look for the woolen materials and gold and silver they had buried at that time.
Such treasures, but they still dug up a lot of them. Well, the auditorium of the county government here was built with dozens of kilograms of jade wool buried in the ground."
Not to mention Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun, Master Huang was talking about Chen Ran, who also gained a lot of knowledge. Although he had read a lot of information and books about stone gambling, he had never heard of such a thing before. This situation said
It undoubtedly seems to be the sequelae of the war. There were too many unthinkable things in that era. It is unthinkable now, but in fact it was normal at that time. Who would have thought of it at the time? Just like now, maybe in the future.
More than ten years later, I still felt that what they were doing now was incredible.
Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun were both people who loved to join in the fun. After hearing what Master Huang said, they wanted to get off the car and go see the excitement. However, Master Huang persuaded them to stop, saying that it was meaningless and they were just a group of people who wanted to get rich.
Crazy people can’t dig out good things now.
Chen Ran was still in a hurry to see the woolen materials, so naturally he would not let them waste time and asked Yang Shijie to take a detour.
Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and it took more than ten minutes for those who were driving to reach Jade City on the main street.
The Jade City on the main street of Tengchong is also the Tengchong County Jewelry and Jade Trading Center. It is located in Yingfeng Community, Xiufeng Community, Tengchong County, only a few dozen meters away from Tengchong Department Store.
After getting off the car, the group of people walked into the trading center with great interest, led by Master Huang.
No wonder Master Zhao said that the Jade City on the main street is the most popular place. It is really lively here, just like a pedestrian street in a big city. People are coming and going, and there is a sense of alien customs everywhere. When it comes to the wool market
It's like a vegetable market here. Piles of stones are placed on the stalls on both sides. There is not much difference between the boss selling jade and the aunties buying vegetables. They either stand or sit and talk.
Occasionally, they would shout a few words. When they saw people gathering around the stall or when they passed by, they would shout and solicit. There were some shops on both sides, but they were not big. However, there were so many shops selling woolen fabrics lined up together.
It looks quite spectacular, obviously not comparable to the wool market in Huadu Antique Street.
"Boss Chen, let's go inside and take a look. The goods inside are better. Most of the woolen materials on the stalls outside are left over from being selected."
Seeing Chen Ran squatting down at the stall and looking at it, Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun also squatted down with interest. Master Huang suddenly frowned. In his eyes, where can there be good stones in these stalls? For real gambling
Shi would not look at such stalls. These stalls were for tourists or novices to play, so he immediately bent down and whispered to Chen Ran.
Hearing Master Huang's words, Chen Ran also frowned. He frowned not because there were no good products at the stall, but because Master Huang and Guo Hai Overlord Yang Shijie knew nothing about stone gambling. Even Zhang Shuchun was half-assed and followed him.
Of course, nothing happened, but Master Huang was undoubtedly different. It was obvious that Master Huang really regarded himself as his stone gambling consultant and wanted to choose wool materials for him. Although Master Huang may indeed have a good eye, it couldn't be compared.
With his energy aura, he naturally would not let Master Huang choose wool for him.
After thinking about it, Chen Ran said to Master Huang: "Well, Master Huang, take Dahai and Lao Zhang inside to take a look first. I'll walk around alone first, and I'll find you later."
"That's okay. If you see the stone in the photo, just call me." Master Huang didn't think much about it. He just assumed that it was Chen Ran's first time here and wanted to take a look around. He was quite conscientious.
Feng is his employer, and based on the relationship between Chen Ran and Zhu Feng, he now regards Chen Ran as his employer. Since Chen Ran is his employer, he must fulfill his responsibilities.
In fact, it's not that he's responsible, it's mainly related to his reputation. Those who work in their profession rely on reputation and credibility.
"Okay, let's go quickly. I'll pick a piece with you when I see someone who can bet." Master Huang agreed and turned around to leave. Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun did not follow. Seeing their ink marks, Chen Ran
I didn't know what they were thinking, so I glared at them angrily.
"President Chen, I only have half of my wife left. Now it's all up to you. It's up to you whether my wife will wash my feet or I will wash my wife's feet when I get home."
Zhang Shuchun nodded with a smile on his face. He brought one million, and had already lost more than half of it. He had lost so many bets, and he no longer believed in his abilities. Now he completely regarded Chen Ran as his backbone.
"Old Zhang, I think your job is to wash your wife's feet. If you already have a wife, why do you need a wife book? You are still waiting to buy a wedding house and get married."
Guo Hai obviously had full confidence in Chen Ran, and he was extremely happy when he heard what Chen Ran said.
Chen Ran was too lazy to talk to them and squatted down to continue looking at the wool. Most of the wool in this stall had been cut, that is, the skylight had been opened. Only a few parts were completely cut. For others,
Half-bet wool is the most popular, but for him, he prefers full-bet wool, because the performance of the half-bet wool at these stalls is not very good, and even if the price increases, it may not rise much.
, but it will undoubtedly be different for those who gamble entirely.
It's just that the stall he looked at contained very little wool, only a few pieces.
Chen Ran checked it out, shook his head in disappointment, and then stood up. Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun had disappeared, and only Bawang and Yang Shijie were still following him.
"Captain Yang, do you want me to bet you a piece of it?" After standing up and looking at Yang Shijie, Chen Ran asked. Although Yang Shijie was following him to perform a mission, he couldn't let others run down this trip.
It's not that he ran away in vain. Needless to say, it is very simple for him to pick a piece that can earn tens of thousands.
Yang Shijie was startled, and then he laughed: "Thank you very much, President Chen, for your kindness. I don't understand this, so let's forget it."
In fact, he was quite excited. Although he didn't know how Chen Ran's eye for stone betting was, he knew from the looks of Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun that it was good. For him who needed a lot of money, this was a big deal.
Tempting, but he also has his own principles. When performing tasks, he does not involve personal matters. Even if he makes money, he must rely on his own ability to make money.
Yang Shijie refused, and Chen Ran remained silent. He couldn't tell others that he could guarantee a higher bet. He shook his head and continued to read the rough information.
The wool in these stalls was really not very good. After Chen Ran inspected the stalls in this row, he found a piece of wool containing jade. The jade in this piece of wool was ordinary jadeite, and it was only worth one or two taels.
Wan, when he asked the boss how much the raw materials cost, the boss directly told him a fixed price of 30,000 yuan. Chen Ran left without even asking for a price.
After looking at the row of wool materials, Chen Ran went to the shops on both sides. After browsing a few stores, he found a piece of wool containing cyan jade. Cyan jade is a mid-range jade. Although it is not very valuable, this piece of cyan jade is
The size of jadeite is not small, so there is no problem in making twenty pairs of bracelets.
The price of this piece of wool was RMB 60,000. Chen Ran lowered the price and finally sold it for RMB 30,000. If it was cut into pieces, it would be considered a huge increase.
Chen Ran still walked and explored as he did at Boss Liao's place. Compared with Boss Liao's place, the wool materials here were not as good as those at Boss Liao's place. There were very few wool materials containing jade. Sometimes he only came across them after visiting several stores.
A piece of wool containing jade is strange to say. Although the overall quality is not as good as Boss Liao's, you can basically bet on it as long as jade is found here. If you cut it, you can bet on the increase. But the chance of the increase here is too low. Of course,
This is relative to other people.
After Chen Ran inspected the wool on the street outside, he only picked out five pieces that he could bet on. Although it was only five pieces, he was not disappointed. If these five pieces were added together, it would be as much as betting on a mid-to-high-end jadeite.
There is no difference. This is enough to prove how rare the wool materials containing mid- to high-grade jadeite and high-grade jadeite are. Even with his ability to detect, he can only look at the woolen materials that are all over the street, let alone others.
He bought a cart and put the wool on it for Bawang to push. Chen Ran called Guo Hai and the others and asked where they were. He hurried after learning that they were on the second floor of the trading center.
past.
Guo Hai said he would pick them up, so when they got to the second floor, Chen Ran, Yang Shijie and Bawang stood there waiting for Guo Hai. After standing for a while, Guo Hai hadn't come over yet, but Yang Shijie suddenly stepped forward and came over.
Go to him and whisper to him: "President Chen, a few of us behind us have been staring at you. Do you think you know him?"
