47.Chapter 47: Silver Hook Gambling Stone Workshop
It's too late, but it's faster than that. In fact, what happened in the elevator took less than two minutes. With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened. Ye Dong stretched out his hand to pull Qin Xueqing, and the two of them left the stairs with great ease, leaving an empty space behind them.
There was a big man lying inside, wailing.
The two people did not go to the underground parking lot, but came out from the first floor and strolled through the crowded shopping street.
Qin Xueqing picked up a pair of big sunglasses from the shelf, put them on Ye Dong's face, and said angrily: "A cruel little villain like you might as well join the underworld."
Ye Dong shook his head desperately, "Being in the underworld? Are you looking down on me too much? Sister Xueqing, do you know where my second master is? As early as twenty years ago, my second master was a feared and powerful figure in the world.
, it is said that until now, among many gangs, the first person worshiped is Master Guan, and the second person worshiped is my second master."
"You're bragging, why have I heard of it?" Qin Xueqing sneered.
"Of course it's because you're not involved in the underworld." Ye Dong said with a smile, picked up a peaked cap and slapped it on Qin Xueqing's head, "This makes her look a little bit like a big sister." After finishing speaking,
He gently twisted Qin Xueqing's pink ears with his fingers, then ran away with a wicked smile.
"You brat, you're looking for a beating!" Qin Xueqing scolded with a smile, then chased and beat Ye Dong.
The two were playing around for a while, and Ye Dong suddenly looked into Qin Xueqing's pretty eyes and said, "Sister Xueqing, it seems that the person who has troubled you these days must be Young Master Zhao. Please wait for me for a while, and I will go back and kill him.
"
"You're here again." Qin Xueqing stretched out her hand to hold his arm and said: "He is a human being, not a dog or a cat. When it comes to punishment, you have already broken his arm, what else? In addition, if you want to punish him, you have already broken his arm."
, the dirty things he has done should also be punished by law."
Looking at Sister Qin's serious eyes, Ye Dong smiled perfunctorily, but secretly said in his heart: "You are a person living in the sun, how can you know the dark side of this society?"
At noon, the two had a simple lunch at a Chinese fast food restaurant. Qin Xueqing looked at the time and said to Ye Dong: "Let's go, there are several stone gambling shops near this street. I will take you to see them."
Hearing that it was about gambling on stones, Ye Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. His clairvoyant eyes happened to be very useful. So he followed Qin Xueqing and walked side by side into a 'Silver Hook Gambling Shop'.
As he passed the door, Ye Dong stared at the two huge stone lions, shook his head and said, "These two lions are so ugly."
Qin Xueqing also looked back, but she didn't see the reason. They were two very ordinary stone lions, just bigger.
The two walked into the courtyard side by side. From the courtyard to the hall, there were stones everywhere. Several staff stood patiently behind the distinguished guests. When the distinguished guests selected the stones, they would help the distinguished guests hold the stones.
After the distinguished guest pays the money, they will go with the honored guest to the stone cutter to verify their identity.
Since it is gambling on stones, there are winners and losers. Ye Dong noticed a middle-aged aunt who was full of silver treasures. She spent 20,000 yuan to buy a stone and cut out a jadeite with the color of glutinous rice. Of course it was
A lot of money was made. But most people didn't make anything.
While walking, Qin Xueqing explained to Ye Dong: "The stones here that can be cut are all jade. Jade belongs to jadeite, and its quality depends on several aspects. The first is color. Different people like different colors.
Red, green, purple, blue, black, no matter which one, as long as it has the five characteristics of strong, positive, positive, bright and even, then it will be the best among similar colors. As for the same level, which color
Jade is more precious, so it depends on personal preference and market reaction."
"The second is the bottom water, also called 'water head', which refers to the transparency of jade. The better the water head, the higher the value of jade. For example, the value of jade with transparent glass bottom is higher than that of translucent white water bottom, which is also higher
It is a jadeite with a waxy bottom that looks like glutinous rice water." As she spoke, Qin Xueqing pointed to the aunt who was surrounded by the crowd, "What she cut out was jadeite that looked like glutinous rice water. She must have earned the money for the stone, but the whole thing
A piece of jade can hardly reach the level of elegance."
After entering the Silver Gou Stone Shop, Qin Xueqing's eyes became critical. Her pretty eyes sparkled and she said: "The bottom water and the seed head basically determine the value of a piece of jade."
"The seed head is the overall reaction of jadeite, giving people the first intuitive feeling. The seed head is divided into old species, new species, new and old species. It can also be divided into glass species, ice species, waxy species, oil-green species, etc.
Of course, the value of a piece of jade also depends on the inlay, carving, size, polishing, etc.”
Qin Xueqing walked and explained all the way, and she was very lucid. Ye Dong interjected curiously: "Sister Xueqing, how do you understand jade so thoroughly?"
Qin Xueqing looked at the jagged rocks around her and the noisy crowd with infinite nostalgia, and said: "My grandfather was a stone cutter before he was alive. I have been following my grandfather since I was a child. These are the most basic things that stone gamblers should know.
knowledge.”
As soon as he entered the Silver Hook Gambling Stone Shop, Ye Dong opened his eyes. The stones containing jade no longer had any cover in his eyes. His eyes suddenly focused on a stone the size of a fist.
"Sister Xueqing, I want to buy this stone." he said.
After taking a look at the price tag, Qin Xueqing clicked her tongue and said, "This costs 60,000 yuan."
"It's hard to buy it with money. I'm happy. Sister Xueqing, I decided to buy this stone." Ye Dong reached out to pick up the stone, weighed it, and threw it to the little follower behind him.
"Xueqing, so it's really you?"
A well-dressed young man laughed loudly, and then, surrounded by a group of people, he walked over. His face was sharp and angular, his hair was very black and thick, and the stubble on his chin and side of his face was shaved green.
His eyes were very sharp, and he walked like a dragon or a tiger.
Seeing this person, Qin Xueqing's face darkened, she bit her red lips and said calmly: "It turns out to be Mr. Han."
Han Sanshao laughed loudly, stepped in front of Qin Xueqing and Ye Dong, straightened his expensive windbreaker, and said: "We haven't seen each other for only a few days, why is Xueqing so out of touch? It's not easy for me to come back once, let's get together
Let’s get together, I’ll make arrangements tonight, call Zhao Wu, Chen Liu, and bald-tailed old Li, how about Longfeng Tower?”
"I'm sorry, I'm very busy. I'm afraid I don't have time." Qin Xueqing raised her eyebrows and showed no respect at all.
Third Young Master Han laughed and said, "Xueqing, are you angry with our Han family? But those are the decisions of the elders, so what does it have to do with us? Besides, you are not from the Qin family. What happened in the first place?"
But you once said it yourself."
Looking at Young Master Han coldly, Qin Xueqing said: "You are right, I am indeed not from the Qin family. I was not before, and I will never be in the future. But I am still despised by your Han family's behavior. The key is
It’s time to stab an ally in the back. Only a weakling like the Qin family would trust your Han family so easily. However, good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Your current allies, the Zhao family, are also masters of stabbing in the back, and you are also the most
Be more prepared."
Qin Xueqing's dismissal made Han Sanshao's eyes flash with a sharp look, but it soon disappeared. He said with a smile: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. There are no permanent enemies in the shopping mall, and of course there are no permanent enemies.
Friends. What businessmen pursue is maximizing profits, just like our endless pursuit of military exploits in the army. There is no reason to blame our Han family for the Qin family’s end. For example, this Silver Hook Gambling Stone Shop used to be
It was opened by the father of one of my best friends, but it is now under my name. At that time, the father and son begged me to buy it. The Qin family could also consider begging us to buy part of their shares.
"
"Despicable!" Qin Xueqing glanced at him coldly, stretched out her hand to pull Ye Dong, "Let's go."
But Ye Dong didn't move at all this time. He pitifully said to Qin Xueqing: "Sister Xueqing, since you and Mr. Han are friends, why do you want to hurt the harmony? Besides, I found that in this stone shop
There are really good things. If we really want to leave, we might as well buy a few rocks that look pleasing to our eyes before leaving."
Qin Xueqing stared at Ye Dong with wide eyes. She thought she had heard wrongly. When did Ye Dong become so spineless? But when her eyes came into contact with Ye Dong, she saw Ye Dong wink slyly at her.
Blinking her eyes, she simply waved her hand and snorted, without even looking at Ye Dong.
Hearing Ye Dong praise his stone workshop, Han Sanshao laughed and said: "This brother has really good taste. All the stones in my stone workshop are airlifted from Myanmar. Every piece is definitely worth the money."
.”
Ye Dong looked at Han Sanshao's arrogant eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I think you made a mistake. I'm not your brother, I'm Xue Qing's boyfriend. In addition, every stone you mentioned is of excellent quality.
I don’t think it’s worth it at all. Just now we met a young man at the door who spent 60,000 yuan on a blind piece and was lying there crying.”
Ye Dong's words were like a slap in the face, hitting Han Sanshao hard in the face, making him extremely unhappy. But when his eyes fell on the fist-sized stone in Ye Dong's hand, he couldn't help but sneered, "This
Since this friend claims to be Xue Qing’s boyfriend and is also a person who likes to gamble on stones, how about we have a bet?”
"Okay, tell me, what's the gambling method?" Ye Dong also became interested.
After taking a look at the price of the stone in Ye Dong's hand, Han Sanshao said: "Since the stone you selected is priced at 60,000, then I will also choose a stone with the same price. Let's see who can cut something with a higher value. The bet is 100
Wan, how about it? Do you dare to bet?"
Ye Dong glanced at Mr. Han very interestingly and said: "Of course I have to gamble. Four taels is worth a thousand pounds, sixty thousand yuan for one million, only fools won't gamble."
