Chapter 105: Gambling on Stones "It's almost here, do you have any money?"
Hearing Shao Dong's words, Zhang Zhe and Bi Liyu looked at each other, wondering what he meant by bringing money. Is it true that there is a gold selling cave here as Bi Liyu guessed?
"We have a card..." Bi Liyu replied, wanting to ask him what he meant but having a hard time asking.
Shao Dong smiled and said: "You will know in a moment. Actually, it doesn't matter much. I will bring you to take a look. If you are interested, just play. It's just that I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed to ask me to pay, so I'll ask you directly first to avoid embarrassment.
Have fun."
Seeing that he spoke so straightforwardly, Zhang Zhe and Bi Liyu were relieved. Lao Bi nodded clearly: "I understand! Please eat, drink or not..."
Zhang Zhe was a little sweaty, and Shao Dong was probably shocked by his more direct words. He was stunned at first, and then laughed.
Immediately, Zhang Zhe's eyes were attracted to the front. The mountain road open to traffic had reached the end, and the front looked like a mine.
Although the two of them were puzzled, they weren't too surprised. After all, it was a mountainous area. It was weird and eye-catching to have a magnificent hotel here, like a mine. Maybe there were all the good things in it!
Their car was at the back, and the car in front of them greeted the mine gate for a while, and then opened the door to let them in.
Zhang Zhe had never been to the mine, but after the car drove in, he looked around and felt that this was a mine, not a cover-up. When the driver stopped in the parking lot, Zhang Zhe couldn't help but mutter to Bi Liyu: "
This looks like a mine..."
"Well, it's very similar..."
Shao Dong also came down. Hearing what they said, he laughed and said: "It looks so similar, this is originally a mine!"
"...!"
"Coal was produced here in the past. It was a small coal mine. The coal boss made a fortune, but later it was hollowed out and became useless, so he transferred the mine. The boss who took over worked hard for a year and then closed down after losing money.
Later, someone else took over and it became what it is now..."
After listening to Shao Dong's explanation, it was estimated that it had been many years and there were no obvious features of the coal kiln here. Zhang Zhe no longer believed Bi Liyu's guess about the gold-selling cave. Thinking that he might be related to the batch of diamonds, he tried to ask: "
Brother Shao, are you going to show us... ore trading?"
"Haha, you can say that."
Bi Liyu was a little disappointed: "I thought there was a slave club here..."
Shao Dong was shocked again... "Xiao Bi, do you like to play with the surname ~ slave? You should have told me earlier! If you have to run so far away, I will take you there another day! Zhang Zhe, let's go too."
"Thank you, thank you very much, but I can't bear it and I'm not interested at the moment." Zhang Zhe declined hastily.
"Haha! He was still a virgin, and he went there only to be raped, but he didn't expect that the place he came to was a mine."
Shao Dong led them forward slowly, and the others followed them, as if they were on a grand tour. "The current boss has transformed this place into an ore warehouse, transshipment, processing, trading, etc."
A place where reselling brokers purchase and transport various ores from different places, store and deliver them here and pay commissions. They can also provide fleet services. If they are in a hurry to cash out, they will also purchase and hoard them if they are profitable.
,sell."
After knowing this purpose, Bi Liyu was no longer interested. But Zhang Zhe was very interested. After hearing Shao Dong's introduction, he asked his doubts: "This boss has got through so many processes and has great vision and courage.
But why did you choose here? The transportation here is inconvenient!"
"Good question!" Shao Dong smiled appreciatively, stopped, took out his mobile phone, and called up the map, "Did you see that? It is a bit inconvenient for us to come from Dongshan, but from here to many surrounding cities
The distance is not much different, which forms a radiation circle, and with the railway network of surrounding cities, the radiation area is even larger. In the long run, overall, this is a very good location. And the roads are ready, initially
The coal bosses and the local government have already repaired it, and there is no need to increase investment. This coal mine has closed down, which is a mess for the local government. If someone takes over, it will be enough to pay some rent every year."
Zhang Zhe suddenly realized that this is indeed a place to save money. If it is the store rent in a bustling urban area... He was shocked and sighed: "I understand, because of the large circulation here, the transaction volume must be not small, and the commissions are not cheap.
. But to the outside world, it is a closed coal mine, and there is no need to pay taxes at all! Other bosses will choose to come here to trade, and the main reason is to avoid taxes! "
"That's right! There are many ways to avoid tax. This is like an underground market. Reliable buyers and sellers from many surrounding cities all know this place. I don't come here often, I only come when I need something."
While they were talking, they had already reached an internal entrance. Someone came to receive them and led them to a reception room to rest.
While waiting for a higher-level person to receive him, Shao Dong continued to introduce: "I'm here to buy a stone. It's jade, the raw material of jadeite before it's cut. There is often a layer of skin on the surface of jade. Due to oxidation,
The shell has turned into brownish red, brownish black or other various colors. Generally, just from the appearance, even the most experienced person cannot tell whether there is jade, emerald, or a pure stone inside. So this is also a gamble.
…”
Zhang Zhe and Bi Liyu looked at each other. It turned out that he was bringing them to see gambling stones! No wonder they asked if they had any money.
Soon, a fat man came in and immediately started chatting with Shao Dong: "Boss Shao! I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become handsome again."
"I've always been so handsome! Haha, Boss He, look at your glowing face and you're getting rich again, right?" Shao Dong smiled and shook hands, not forgetting to introduce them: "Boss He Zhengyuan and He, these are the two newly brought by me.
As a kid, I might become your customer in the future."
Zhang Zhe and Bi Liyu stood up and introduced themselves. Boss He also distributed a simple business card with only name and phone number. Then they focused on communicating with Shao Dong: "A batch of good goods has arrived! I didn't notify anyone, so let Boss Shao go first.
You pick!"
Shao Dong smiled calmly and said: "You know my habits..."
"I understand, I understand. Don't you feel at ease when I am doing things?" He Zhengyuan said with a smile, and then said a little bit embarrassed: "It's just that this time... the cost of transportation has increased in all aspects of getting the goods.
It’s a lot, if it’s less than a thousand you’ll lose money…”
"A thousand?" Shao Dong frowned slightly and hesitated, then said with a smile: "Okay, of course I'm sure you won't cheat me! As long as it's not junk, a thousand is a thousand."
"Should I drink a pot of tea first, or..."
"Let's go see the goods first!" Shao Dong waved and everyone followed him out.
He Zhengyuan personally led them to a large warehouse. Inside the warehouse, there were many stones of different colors, as small as fists and as big as balls. On the other side, there were many cutting machines and workers.
Ready and ready.
"Boss Shao, you take your time. I won't hinder good luck here. If you need anything, just tell Xiao Chen." He Zhengyuan is the boss here, so he greets important customers personally and stays with him.
I don't have that much time.
The Xiao Chen he was talking about was responsible for following up to the end. He was waiting at the machine. If the customer didn't say hello, he wouldn't come to disturb him.
"Look how good this guy is at talking! He obviously doesn't have time to accompany us, but he still says it won't hinder good luck." Shao Dong said with a smile.
Zhang Zhe looked at all the hill-like stones and said with admiration: "Brother Shao, you are so honorable. There must be many buyers in the cities within this radiation range. Boss He still has to let you choose first!"
"
"Do you believe his bragging! There are so many things, and it's not just a matter of grabbing them. He just doesn't arrange them to come at the same time. He will tell everyone that he comes first!" Shao Dong smiled and shook his head. Then he waved his hand:
“Let’s pick!”
The people he brought with him immediately separated and went over to the pile of stones to start picking rough stones. When Xiao Chen saw the three of them standing, he immediately brought plastic chairs over for them to sit down and rest, and then stepped back to the side.
"Are these stones just one thousand pieces?" Zhang Zhe was shocked when he saw that some of them were only as big as a fist. This was really a huge profit.
Shao Dong said calmly: "He said this batch is good, but relatively speaking, there were hundreds in the past. Some of them are larger in size and were evaluated by experienced experts as jade. The chance of jade is higher is even more expensive. Thousands, several thousand."
Ten thousand, more than 100,000 is not unusual. But to me, a stone is an opportunity. If you bet 100,000 yuan on a single chance, it is better to exchange it for a hundred opportunities."
He can make a piece or a few pieces himself, but if the amount is too large, he will let others do it for him. His men are not professional, they just pick based on their feelings, and the picked stones are taken directly to the side to cut open.
. OEM decomposition also requires a unified fee, so those workers also have certain experience and are considered professional masters. They will not make outrageous mistakes and do not dare to hide their secrets.
"Those small ones cost one thousand yuan?" Zhang Zhe lost his temper when he heard that there were more than one hundred thousand yuan, but he was still worried about the small ones that cost one thousand yuan. "Then everyone is willing to pick the big one, right?"
"Theoretically, it seems that the bigger the stone, the greater the chance of jade inside. But in fact, it is all about luck. If you are lucky, you will make money if a jadeite is found in a small piece. If it is just a stone, there is no essence between big and small.
The difference. One thousand yuan is also the average price. You can't weigh them one by one, right?" Shao Dong looked at the two of them again: "Are you interested in playing? If you try to play for a few yuan, just pick it up and follow me.
Just go together. If you want to try your luck, just choose more, and I'll ask them to arrange a dissection for you."
Zhang Zhe and Bi Liyu exchanged glances with each other.
They could basically see the dissection process there, and many of them were useless stones. A piece of waste stone that was not thrown away was worth a thousand yuan! Zhang Zhe felt bad about taking other people's money for nothing.
If he wants to play, he can still afford the money, and he won't owe anyone a favor for this small amount of money. But as Shao Dong said, it's not good if he only buys a few yuan from his own pocket. He needs to buy more...but how much counts.
How much? Shao Dong might want to buy it for thousands!
