At the villa, after dinner and tea, at eight o'clock in the evening, Ma Xiaodong personally took Jiang Minghao and Fang Tanya to Tengchong Emerald City for a stroll.
As the Tengchong Emerald City, it is natural that businesses of all sizes gather together. It can almost be said that here, in the thousands-meter-long block, every shop is engaged in the jade business.
With the development of the domestic economy in the past few years, more and more people are paying attention to the jade industry, and jade means auspiciousness and beauty, and is given to elders or as gifts. Therefore, many tourists come here every day, all for these jade.
Gambling on stones! Naturally, it has become an exciting gambling activity. In front of the shops in Emerald City, you can see all kinds of stones on tables everywhere, large and small, ranging from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of stones.
At the same time, there are also ready-made jewelry shops with a dazzling array of jade jewelry in various formats, attracting tourists, especially those tourists who are curious about stone gambling. They dream of God's favor and offer a sky-high price for a gambling stone, and they become rich overnight.
The dream of wealth.
There is a classic old saying about gambling on stones, "One knife will make you poor, one knife will make you rich, and one knife will pierce the rag", which can vividly illustrate the gambling of stone gambling.
"Offer one million..."ωωw..net
"Rising, rising, rising..."
Jiang Minghao, Fangtanya, Ma Xiaodong and the others had just entered the Emerald City. At the door of the first store, there were many tourists and onlookers. They looked at a tourist inside who was buying a piece of raw stone worth tens of thousands for gambling. His face was filled with tears.
Expecting and dreaming of getting rich overnight, but what comes out later is just useless stones, worthless.
"Sand sculpture, the ones most easily deceived are tourists."
Ma Xiaodong, Jiang Minghao and others pointed at the typical tourists who wanted to get rich by gambling on stones, shook their heads and laughed.
Gambling on stones here is fatal to these completely ignorant tourists.
Some people are rational and only play for fun, but some people, because of all the mysteries around them, gamble for fun, hoping that the legend of getting rich overnight will hit their head. The strong psychological impulse often destroys people's reason, and in the end
Lose everything and pay for it.
Therefore, this scene is played out in the Emerald City in Tengchong or other places.
"It seems that this stone gambling is not just based on luck."
Fang Tanya smiled and glanced sideways at Jiang Minghao with her phoenix eyes. She thought of the last scene in Feitian Pavilion where Jiang Minghao continuously offered sky-high prices for jade, which made her laugh and say: "How about you show off your shitty luck?"
?”
"Ha ha…"
Next to him, Ma Xiaodong smiled and said: "Haozi, you were very lucky when you stepped on the shit last time, but you should play less this time. Betting on stones here requires real ability, and only seven points depends on luck."
Jiang Minghao smiled and said nothing. His ability to feel the aura of the original stone was not something that other Yuanqi people could do. Even Jiang Minghao didn't understand. However, he attributed it to the ability he inherited from his ancestors.
It’s incredible in itself…
Behind Jiang Minghao and the others, Ye Ziyao, Deng Jiajia, Ahu and the others were wandering around the Emerald City with Qian Feng.
"Mr. Ye, look at the stone gambling going on over there."
Deng Jiajia saw many people gathered around the door of a shop, which was very lively. Ye Ziyao was also curious about the strong atmosphere of this stone gambling culture that can be seen at any time.
"This is the Emerald City. Almost everyone in this area is engaged in the jade business. This kind of stone gambling is just a small scene, just for fun of tourists who don't know the business." Qian Feng glanced at it and smiled at Ye Ziyao and the others beside him.
"So, this place is all fake, specifically designed to deceive tourists?" Deng Jiajia asked curiously.
"Of course not."
Qian Feng turned into a guide and said: "Betting on stones is risky. There are deep secrets here. This ignorant tourist wants to get rich overnight with just three points of luck. Let's just dream."
Ye Ziyao, Deng Jiajia and the others nodded, knowing that gambling on stones is not that easy.
Thinking of the last time Feitian Pavilion held a jadeite exhibition, Jiang Minghao continuously offered sky-high prices for jadeite, which made Ye Ziyao frown slightly and thought to herself: "Is that guy really good at betting on stones?"
"Mr. Ye, I want to sell a jade jewelry bracelet for my mother."
Deng Jiajia pulled Ye Ziyao and whispered. If the opportunity comes, naturally she will sell a few pieces of jade jewelry and give them away.
"Mr. Qian, you are more familiar with us than us. Where can I buy genuine jade jewelry?" Ye Ziyao nodded and wanted to sell a few pieces of jade jewelry to give to her mother.
"If you want to buy jewelry, of course you have to go to the Jade Building. The jadeite that comes from somewhere may be raw stone. It is almost always genuine. It is very famous in the Tengchong area." Qian Feng waved his hand and took them to the front of the jadeite building.
building.
"Emerald Tower!"
Jiang Minghao, Ma Xiao and Dongfang Tanya stand in a building with ancient style architectural pavilions, tall red lanterns, and an antique plaque that has stood here for hundreds of years.
"This Jade House is not simple. The boss was founded by the Tang family, a well-known company in our jade industry. This Jade House has been standing for hundreds of years and has been doing jade business since ancient times.
Therefore, those who want to buy jadeite like to come to them. At the same time, this jadeite building also holds stone betting activities or auctions from time to time, attracting many people." Ma Xiaodong briefly introduced the origin to Jiang Minghao and Fang Tanya.
Jiang Minghao and Fang Tanya nodded, and immediately saw many people walking inside. Ma Xiaodong clapped his hands: "It seems that we are at the right place today. We encountered them doing stone betting activities. Let's take a walk and go in to see what they can get."
What good material can we use to play with..."
Following Ma Xiaodong in, many tourists who came here also followed. When they walked into the Jade Building, they discovered that it was very large inside. In the huge living room, there were many counters and independent counters with jade carvings on display.
In the jewelry counters, the lowest price is 10,000 yuan, and the highest price is tens of millions per piece for an imperial green jade bracelet. It is conceivable that Jade House has great strength and cannot be matched by ordinary jade jewelers.
It is decorated in a typical antique style, and there is an attic on the second floor. On a small platform, the Jade Building often holds jade auctions, perhaps stone gambling activities.
In the stone gambling area, hundreds of rough stones have been placed on the counter, some with windows, and some with stupid green hair. The lowest price starts at tens of thousands. At the same time, they also introduce the rough stone pit where these raw stones are produced...
There are especially many people here tonight, because tomorrow is the Tengchong Jade Stone Gambling Conference. Many people come because of its reputation, especially many jewelers who bring stone gambling masters from all walks of life to participate.
Tonight's stone gambling event held at Jade Tower also attracted many stone gambling experts to hang out. Suddenly, a young man in his thirties greeted Ma Xiaodong immediately: "Master Ma, you are here too."
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Fanshik."
I saw this young man wearing an ancient Tang suit. He is a well-known young stone gambler in the industry.
Once he was in Ruili and offered a piece of water-type jadeite at a sky-high price to appraise his status as a bettor...
