"One knife will make you poor, one knife will make you rich, and one knife will cut out hundreds of millions of households; madmen will sell, madmen will buy, and there are still madmen waiting." Peng Xiaoping said that this sentence is more popular in Myanmar's stone circle gambling.
"It's hard for gods to break through jade, but masters often miss" is the most vivid description of stone gambling.
Peng Xiaoping was dressed casually today, but her scholarly aura still exuded unconsciously. Even though she spoke jargon about gambling, it didn't seem to have much to do with gambling.
Longdaihe is very quiet in March. Very few outsiders come to the beach to enjoy the breeze, but unexpectedly the stone gambling market is extremely lively. Peng Xiaoping is a law professor, how could he like stone gambling?
Tang Lin was still thinking about this problem in his mind. The two of them walked into the bustling stone gambling market one after another. The market is an indoor market. The outside is shaped like a huge cut Burmese ruby. It is even worse during the day.
, it is said that it is only lively here at night.
"It turns out that the Longdaihe people hide here in winter. By the way, Tang Lin, do you know anything about gambling on stones?" Peng Xiaoping asked naturally.
Tang Lin shook his head, "I only know a little bit about it. This is my second time coming to the Stone Betting Market." Peng Xiaoping suddenly smiled, which was very different from the seriousness in the car. Peng Xiaoping's charm was still there, and this smile was even more beautiful.
It immediately attracted the attention of several merchants, who gathered around and shouted, "Big Sister, Big Sister is here."
But Peng Xiaoping didn't care at all, and continued walking in, as if she was looking for someone. Soon she stopped in front of a shop dressed as a teahouse in the middle.
Tang Lin was a little surprised. Is this a teahouse or a stone betting shop? There wasn't even a sign in front of the door, but Peng Xiaoping happily opened the sliding door and walked in.
The boss inside is also a middle-aged woman. She is making tea on a huge tree root sculpture tea table, as if she knows that guests are coming. Behind her are various high and low tables, each with a special piece on it.
of stones.
Tang Lin was even weirder, but no matter how weird he was, he was not the type to ask unless the other person was very familiar with him. Peng Xiaoping greeted him cordially, "Zhilan, I'm here to buy your stone again, haha."
The middle-aged woman named Zhilan slowly raised her head, and Tang Lin also followed her gaze. To be honest, this woman had an average appearance and average figure, but her hair was very beautiful, as smooth as satin, and better than the TV effect.
Hairdressing models are even better looking.
So even though she is average in all aspects, her hair is enough to add a lot of color to her, and her wrists are relatively thin, her fingers are slender, and she wears a blue and transparent jade bracelet on her wrist.
It didn't take an expert to figure out that this jade bracelet was definitely much better than the heirloom dowry from Heizi's mother. There were already flowers inside.
Zhilan looked up at the dusty Peng Xiaoping, with a very calm expression, and raised her hand gently, "You are here, you really have to chase me wherever I go. You bought me ten stones, and you bought ten stones."
, but you haven’t had any success at all, do you want to continue this year?”
Peng Xiaoping immediately took out 10,000 yuan in cash from his bag and gently placed it in front of Zhilan, "As always, the 10,000 yuan stone is the same, but this time it's not me who chooses it, but Tang Lin."
As he said that, he turned around and showed Tang Lin in front of Zhilan. Zhilan just raised his head and glanced at him, "He is also a layman. Even the insiders will miss him. What's the use of bringing a layman with you? But since you are here, please sit down."
, I have just made tea and collected the Dahongpao. I will drink tea first and then play with stones. Please sit down, you two."
Peng Xiaoping and Tang Lin sat down. Peng Xiaoping seemed very emotional, as if he had become a chatterbox when he was in front of Zhilan.
"After playing with jade for so many years, my ears are often filled with stories about someone who made a fortune gambling on stones, and someone who gambled repeatedly and lost money and became destitute. Suddenly, the "stone" came into play, and he survived because he won a piece of top-quality material through gambling.
Legendary stories such as living happily ever after. Whether true or false, the protagonists of these stories mostly bet on raw jade stones."
"But times have really changed now. Gambling stones are no longer limited to jadeite, Hetian jade rough stone, southern red agate that looks like potato eggs, unpeeled Warring States red, I don't know if there are nine-eyed stones from crystal caves, or even unpeeled stones."
Wenwan walnuts with peeled green skin, etc., as long as there is an invisible skin on the outside, and there is a possibility of gain or loss after opening, you can gamble it away."
"Let's talk about Hetian jade. Although most Hetian jade follows the traditional virtues of the Chinese people of "the appearance and the inside are the same", there are exceptions to everything. The natural jade has the unique "stone-covered jade". The stone shows that it is difficult to cut without cutting it.
Discover the secret inside; the man-made coloring makes people confused, so you have no choice but to gamble. Haha, you were very excited when I saw Zhilan, because as soon as I saw you, I felt that I had luck this time and would make a fortune.
Have I always been mean?"
Zhilan remained calm and served tea to the two of them skillfully, and then said, "Actually, stone-covered jade has existed since ancient times, but the ancients did not use this name, but called it raw jade. It is said that the one presented by Bian He is
It is uncut jade, but the He's Bi has been lost for a long time. Whether it is the stone-covered jade of Hetian jade or not, this eternal mystery may only be answered by finding the traditional jade seal made from the He's Bi."
"Haha, He's Bi is too far away. You should tell me two more stories about getting rich overnight. I feel that my life lacks such themes and stories. In fact, I come to you once a year to buy a stone. It has become my
The most anticipated thing.”
Zhilan raised her head and glanced at her meaningfully, "There is a kind of person who always knows the blessings when he is in the midst of them. As a prime minister, you always complain to me, a wealthy businessman, that life is too plain and too stable. Haha, Xiaoping, you are really still a child.
Impatient. Well, let’s talk about the winning bet first. The most influential and typical case is the story of Liu Shinian: In 2001, Anhui businessman Liu Shinian spent 1.6 million yuan on a piece of stone-covered jade that had been cut into three sides by a Bengbu jade carving master.
After receiving the "second-hand goods", Boss Liu cut three more times and finally cut out the snow-white mutton-fat jade. Someone immediately offered to buy it at a high price, but Boss Liu refused. Ten years later, the valuation of this piece of mutton-fat jade was
It has already exceeded 200 million. Boss Liu undoubtedly gambled up. But the Bengbu jade carving master who did not have the courage to persist to the end lost an opportunity to get rich."
"Let's talk about Xiao Zhang in the Antique City. A piece of material with an asking price of 50,000 yuan was cut down to 12,000 yuan. However, many jade friends next to him were still sweating for him - from the outside, this rough stone has almost no characteristics.
Any kind of gambling will only give people the feeling that money is wasted: thick skin means that there is no good meat; deep cracks mean that it is impossible to carve things; dark skin means that even if there is some usable material, the actual value
It’s also far from the purchase price…”
"Amidst unanimous opposition from everyone, Xiao Zhang did not hesitate to swipe his credit card to buy this Hetian jade gambling stone. In order to verify the correctness of his choice, he actually found a hammer and directly used it from the big crack.
The jade friend thought that he was wasting his natural resources by treating the Hetian jade so roughly. Even if he won the bet, he would still be scolded. This is something to be said later."
"Of course, the ending of the story is perfect: the jade exposed by the broken section is not only white but also moist, and the dark and thick stone skin on the outside can not only be cleverly carved and used to add color to the jade piece, but can also become the seed material for the jade piece.
The carved "ID card". A provincial jade carving master who was watching the gambling at the scene immediately reached an agreement with Xiao Zhang: he would design, carve, and polish it, and after the completion, it would be sold in the jade shop opened by the jade carver himself.
The specific selling price has nothing to do with Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao only needs to receive 200,000 yuan after the sale. If the jade piece is still not sold after a year, the carving master will also settle with Xiao Xiao for 200,000 yuan. 12,000
Yuan, with a few minutes and a hammer, 200,000 Yuan is just around the corner, which makes the friends around me jealous."
The story was exciting, but what she told was extremely dull. Peng Xiaoping listened very seriously, but there was always a hint of mystery in his eyes. Then he suddenly asked Tang Lin, who was drinking tea and paying no attention to the rough stones behind him.
