The roar of the stone-breaking machine continued to irritate everyone's eardrums. It took the strong man twice as long as the others to successfully take out the first piece of high-ice bright green jadeite the size of a fist. However, this guy played a trick and solved it.
Cover the jadeite with red velvet cloth, preparing to save it for the last show. The guy wiped his sweat and fixed the woolen material marked with No. 2. This time, he drew the line in the center. It is clear at a glance whether there is jadeite in everything.
Wool is also the best solution.
The saw blade fell down and cut straight to the bottom. The wool material split into two with a snap, and two large pieces of evenly distributed green came into view.
"It's such a big piece of gold filament. If you look at it, it weighs dozens of kilograms..." Someone in the audience began to comment highly on the quality of the jadeite extracted.
"This piece of gold wire has a good water quality. In terms of value, it is quite different from the ice seed material that was solved on the 18th."
"We'll just wait until the auction is over. By then we can get a few pieces of good-water planting material and it will be a worthwhile trip."
People in the audience had different opinions. They unknowingly regarded No. 18 and No. 56 as the biggest favorites to win this championship. Comparing the two, they all believed that No. 18, with a piece of high-ice jade as the base, had a greater chance of winning.
It was because the strong man who was cutting the stone deliberately covered a piece of high-ice jadeite.
The strong man seemed to enjoy the feeling of being noticed. After taking out the two pieces of gold wire, he took a few sips of mineral water. At this time, the stone dissolving machines on the table stopped one after another. The strong man
There is also a piece of wool beside him that remains intact.
After drinking the water, the strong man took a deep breath, fixed the last piece of wool with quick hands and feet, and cut it off along the drawn line.
Bang! A thick piece of stone separated from the wool, and a layer of crystal white mist appeared. The strong man washed the cut surface with water, and slowly put on the grinding wheel to rub the stone.
Everyone's eyes on the stage and off the stage were focused on the last piece of wool, even Bai Shengjun was no exception. He started to get nervous when he unwrapped a large piece of jadeite made of gold wire. Fortunately, he didn't pay attention to the first piece.
When I took out the jadeite, my heart was in my throat when I saw the strong man polishing the stone. I just hoped that what I got out this time was a mid- to low-grade jadeite...
Meng Shicheng also secretly squeezed his sweat and looked at the joint between the grinding wheel and the wool without blinking. When a touch of intoxicating green reflected in his pupils, he finally smiled.
"Glass imperial green..." A surprised voice sounded, completely killing the hope in Bai Shengjun's heart. The guy's body swayed, and his white face was completely drained of blood. His lips trembled and he murmured: "Impossible, why?
It’s impossible to prescribe a glass species..."
"What a good thing! This is the well-deserved Jade Emperor, tsk tsk..."
All kinds of exclamations and exclamations came one after another. Everyone was fascinated by the extraordinary elegance of the Jade Emperor. It was a gratifying thing to see a piece of top-quality jade emerge from a stubborn stone. Many jewelers had already begun to secretly evaluate and make plans.
I hope to win this top quality jadeite in the next auction.
As soon as the imperial green of the glass appeared, the strong man who solved the stone felt that covering the first piece of jade was no longer necessary, so he simply took off the red velvet cloth while watering the water. The jade color suddenly appeared, and four jade pieces of different sizes contrasted with each other.
Strive for glory.
The high ice type Sun Green, the two bright and bright gold wire types, plus the embryonic glass type Imperial Green, three bets and three big gains, this is a super luxurious lineup that has never appeared in previous stone betting competitions.
No matter what kind of food the remaining fifty stalls open, there is no suspense for No. 56 to win.
"Haha! The stone I chose is not bad, right? It's much better than those bullshit experts!" Tang Guobin laughed and stepped forward to give Meng Shicheng a bear hug.
Meng Shicheng was hugged so hard that he couldn't breathe. He rolled his eyes and said, "You are so awesome. No expert can be as good as you, right? Let go, my old bones are about to be broken apart by you..."
Tang Guobin let go of his hand and said: "Your words are too forced and boring."
Xu Qing glanced at the two of them with a half-smile, touched his belly and said, "I'm hungry, who of you two is in charge of the food?"
Tang and Meng looked at each other and gave someone the middle finger in a tacit understanding. Even Fang Piaopiao couldn't help but laugh, turned his face and covered his mouth to snicker.
"Piaopiao, let's go..." Bai Shengjun shouted with a stern face, turned around and left. He knew that it would be a shame to stay here, knowing that the defeat was certain. What's more, the lost money must be delivered to the private lottery boss as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
.
Bai Shengjun led the others away in despair. Meng Shicheng looked at his ex-wife's leaving figure in the distance with a sense of loss. He didn't know why there was no joy of victory in his heart at this time, but only boundless melancholy.
The quality of the jadeite solved by the last fifty stalls was very good. No.109 also solved two pieces of high-ice jadeite full of green, but it could not surpass No.56. After a brief discussion among the judges,
The winner of the Stone Betting Contest has been determined.
Stall No. 56 won the first prize, and Stall No. 109 came in second place. They watched helplessly as two pieces of high-ice jadeite fell into the hands of others. All the jadeites obtained in this competition were auctioned on-site by the organizer.
The amount, excluding a 10% handling fee, belongs to the winner.
The popularity of this live auction far exceeds previous ones, but what is surprising is that the biggest winner of this stone betting contest left the venue early and is now sitting with two old friends in a small hotel not far from the trade venue, enjoying a meal.
The small hotel has a small storefront, but the food tastes quite good, with authentic Tengchong flavor, Dajiujia, Black San Chop, Fried Beef with Sour Bamboo Shoots, Spicy Pork Ribs, Pot, Border Town Grilled Fish, plus some soft and glutinous pineapple rice.
Drinking some bamboo tube rice wine will make you feel happy.
After coming to Yunnan for a few days, this meal was much more authentic than any five-star hotel, and the price was cheaper. It cost less than 300 yuan for five people to eat and drink. Before leaving, the enthusiastic shop owner even brought a gift to each person.
I had a tube of home-brewed rice wine, just for drinking on the way.
Everyone returned to the fair with a shy stomach, only to find that it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, neither early nor late, just in time for the end of the auction. After the host announced the successful conclusion of the stone betting competition, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "No. 56, please"
Stall owner Meng Shicheng came on stage to receive the award..."
Meng Shicheng smiled calmly, and Shi Shiran walked onto the stage. The host immediately handed over a microphone and said: "As the champion of this stone gambling competition, what do you think of Mr. Meng?"
Meng Shicheng put the microphone to his mouth with a smile on his face. Unexpectedly, a smell of alcohol surged into his throat, and he actually burped loudly. The sound was amplified by the loudspeaker and resounded throughout the audience.
The host responded very quickly, picked up the microphone and replied with a frown: "Mr. Meng, we don't understand your dialect. Please speak Mandarin."
Hahaha……
Everyone on the stage burst into laughter. Tang Guobin laughed so hard that he squatted down holding his stomach. The rice wine Xu Qing just drank in his mouth spurted out. Fortunately, there was no one in front of him.
Meng Shicheng smiled disapprovingly and said: "Just now, Meng took advantage of everyone's time to auction jade and went out to have a casual meal. As a friend of mine said, no matter how good the jade is, it is still a stone, and no matter how beautiful the stone is, it cannot be used as food, right?
The business of gambling on stones makes people excited, but it is not good to get addicted to it. There are 150 stalls gambling on stones together, and I am the only one who makes money. Of course, if I have money, I will solve the problem of water in my stomach first!"
These words cleverly revealed the nature of stone gambling, and also tactfully revealed the huge risks involved. One of the 150 stalls made a lot of money. Stone gambling is so cruel.
The scene was silent for two seconds, then a few patters of applause began to sound, and then the applause burst into a roar.
The host held an exquisite jade box and delivered it to Meng Shicheng. There was a cash check inside. He smiled and said a few useless polite words before announcing the successful conclusion of the stone gambling contest.
Meng Shicheng walked down the high platform with the box in high spirits. Huang Bowen, who had a wry smile on his face, had been waiting for a long time.
"Lao Meng, you are not kind!" Huang Bowen took out a cash check from his pocket and stuffed it into Meng Shicheng's pocket. He showed a meaningful smile and whispered: "Fortunately, I also bought some Bai Shengjun."
Invite me to bet, otherwise I’ll lose my money this time!”
Meng Shicheng asked in surprise: "How much did you buy?"
Huang Bowen smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers and shook it: "A little bit, two thousand less than you old fool, just enough to make up for the loss I lost on you."
Meng Shicheng knew that there were ten thousand words missing from the number this guy said. If he bet thirty million, it would mean that Bai would have to accompany ninety million. Plus the one and a half billion he won, this stone gambling competition
The man surnamed Bai lost at least 200 million, not including the jade material he lost.
No matter how rich Bai Shengjun's net worth is, a one-time loss of 200 million is enough to make him suffer for a while. No wonder some people say that these days, there are few people who give trouble when it is time, and there are many people who add insult to injury. Of course, Huang Bowen's vision and courage also convinced Meng Shicheng from the bottom of his heart.
When everyone returned to Stall No. 56, the woolen materials inside were sold out again, and the price was more than three times higher than expected. This was all due to the eye-catching performance of the selected woolen materials in the Stone Betting Contest.
In this competition, the prize money alone was 310 million. In addition, the private lottery won 250 million. After excluding handling fees, the net profit was 540 million. Meng Shicheng transferred one to Xu and Tang each.
80 million, and then immediately asked someone to order two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, and announced that each stall employee would receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and the stall would be closed early today, and the boss would treat him to dinner.
