"Brother Zhou, where are we going?" Liu Dong asked, looking at the green roadside trees receding quickly outside the car window.
Naturally, it was not their turn to drive. Zhou Bin's two bodyguards sat on top of the driver and co-pilot respectively, so they were responsible for the driving.
"Haha, we'll be there soon!" Zhou Bin said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Liu Dong frowned and said nothing. But soon, when the Hummer turned a road, Liu Dong couldn't help but open his eyes wide, because everything around him gave him a familiar feeling.
Immediately, when a large iron sign more than ten meters tall standing next to the highway appeared in his eyes, Liu Dong knew where he was now!
'Jade Street' is another place he often comes to in addition to the antique market in Quancheng City. Because here, almost all types of jade in China and even the world are concentrated here, including Nanyang jade, one of the four major nephrites in China.
, Hotan white jade, LN Xiuyan jade and SX Lantian jade, as well as jadeite representative jade, as well as other tree jade, topaz, emerald and other famous jade from all over the world, you can almost find them here.
Therefore, Liu Dong, who likes jade carving, has naturally become a frequent visitor here. Of course, he does not come here to buy high-priced jade, but to pick up scraps that others do not want and to hone his jade carving skills. And
, he can also broaden his horizons here. After all, as a jade carver, if you don't understand the type, texture, color, and grade of jade, it would be really ridiculous.
Of course, Liu Dong is not the only jade carver who came here with this purpose. Almost all junior jade carvers from Yeluzi have left their footprints here.
When the Hummer turned into the street, the bodyguard Liu Dong called Tiezi who was driving had to increase the speed of the car. Although the flow of people here is not as high as that of the antique city, there are many trucks transporting jade raw materials. If it continues
In addition to the merchants who come here to buy jade and some tourists who come here, the wide jade street seems to be bustling with people, so the traffic speed cannot be increased at all.
"Okay, let's park the car here first!" Zhou Bin pointed to the roadside and said. There is no special parking lot here, so cars are basically parked on the roadside.
"Shiyuan Pavilion!" After opening the car door and getting out, Liu Dong immediately saw the imposing antique-style building opposite. He couldn't help but whisper softly.
"What? Xiaodong, you have been here before!" Looking at the look on Liu Dong's face, Zhou Bin asked with a smile.
"Haha, I've been here before, but before I could only look outside!" Liu Dong laughed at himself. He was not lying. Shiyuan Pavilion is a famous stone betting shop on this street.
, although the raw jadeite inside is sold by the kilogram, the price can easily reach hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands per kilogram, which is far from what he can easily get involved with.
In addition, the hot stone gambling atmosphere here also made Liu Dong afraid of being unable to control himself, so he rarely entered such authentic stone gambling shops. However, he did not expect to follow Zhou Bin here today.
"Just in time, let's go in and take a look. The wool here is pretty good!"
"Well, that's fine!" At this time, Liu Dong was somewhat hopeful. What he wanted to know most at this moment was whether his clairvoyance power would be useful for these raw jade stones. If so, then he had really found it.
It is the most convenient way to get rich. Thinking of this, Liu Dong couldn't help but walk three points faster.
The main entrance of Shiyuan Pavilion is a floor-elastic door made of aluminum alloy and tempered glass. Both sides of the floor-elastic door are also tempered glass display windows. Standing outside, you can clearly see people of all colors selecting woolen materials inside.
Following Zhou Bin, a group of people opened the door and walked in. Then they walked around the front counter and looked to the right. The first thing that caught Liu Dong's eyes was a hall with an area of hundreds of square meters. In the center of the hall was a
There are rows of steel shelves that are half a person high and about half a meter wide. The items placed on them are almost all jade wool that is no bigger than an adult's fist, with dark yellow skin, and almost all of them are full gambling materials with their heads covered.
The ones placed around the hall are about one person high and are divided into four layers of steel shelves. However, the jade wool materials placed on them have basically been opened through the windows, revealing the warm jade flesh inside, which can only be regarded as half.
Gambling material! Of course the price is higher.
"Xiaodong, do you want to watch by yourself, or come with me?" Zhou Bin asked with an eager look on his face. He didn't bring his stone betting master with him this time, so although he wanted to buy a few stones, he couldn't
Don't dare to touch those all gambling materials.
"Brother Zhou, this is my first time here, so let's see for myself first!" Liu Dong replied, following Zhou Bin, he really couldn't let go.
"Okay, I'll go over there and look at the gambling materials. If you have anything, call me!" After saying that, just after taking a few steps, Zhou Bin suddenly turned around again and warned carefully, "Xiaodong, this gambling stone Wan'er
A little fun of eight thousand is enough, but don't get stuck! Otherwise, if you lose a lot, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Long."
Seeing the worried look on Zhou Bin's face, Liu Dong smiled and nodded. He had been here for more than a day or two. Although he had never participated in stone gambling before, he had heard a lot about it.
He also knew the principle of "one sword makes you rich, one sword makes you poor". If it were before Liu Dong obtained the superpower, then he would definitely be just playing around as Zhou Bin said, but now it is different.
"I understand, Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'm measured!"
After listening to his words, Zhou Bin nodded with confidence. Although he had only been in contact with Liu Dong for half a day, he still had a very good impression of this little brother he had just met.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Bin, Liu Dong looked at the rows of iron shelves in the center of the hall. He was soon dazzled by the various gambling stones with different sizes and appearances. The jade stones were often mentioned on
He didn't see any pine flowers or ringworm, but he saw a lot of chicken claws, dimples and various cracks. If these rough stones were not displayed openly in the store, these so-called jade rough stones would be almost the same as those in the latrine.
The stones are the same.
Liu Dong, who couldn't figure out anything after watching for several minutes, couldn't help but shook his head. The original freshness in his heart was gone. He didn't bother to look anymore and just used his power to check. Soon, following his brows,
Beating, it was as if a veil had been lifted before his eyes, and everything within three meters around him was clearly displayed in his eyes.
But what disappointed him was that after using his powers to look at several pieces of wool on the iron shelf, it was almost impossible to find any that caught his eye. Although there were jadeite among them, they were either worthless shit, or only worth a few hundred dollars.
The horse teeth seeds cost 1 yuan, or the planting water is slightly better, but the color is too poor, so there is really no value in gambling.
After reading the woolen materials on the shelves one after another, Liu Dong's face became more and more disappointed. But just as he turned around, he planned to take a look at the semi-gambling materials on the shelf next to the wall to see if he could
When he couldn't gain anything, a thick green color suddenly appeared in his eyes, causing him to stop suddenly as he was about to turn around and leave.
Then, he quickly turned around, looked at it carefully again with worry, then took a few steps forward, took a piece of wool about the size of a palm and weighed two or three kilograms, and looked at it carefully.
Judging from the appearance alone, this is a piece of yellow sand-skin material with a thicker shell. It must be a piece from the Longtang Factory. The Longtang Stone Mining Area is one of the most important jade producing areas in the world. It is located in the Kachin Mountains in northern Myanmar.
In the hilly area, the mining area is bounded by the Wulu River in the east and the Qindun River in the west. The gambling stones produced in the Longtang area are generally about 300 grams. Most of the water and bottom are good, the green color is normal, and high green materials are often produced.
.
However, the performance of this piece of wool is not outstanding. There is no ringworm or pine blossom, and there is even a split hair one or two centimeters long on the side of the wool. It is this small hair that makes the jadeite rough stone from Longtang Factory so valuable.
Fall. This is why it is placed here, otherwise materials like this from Laochangkou would definitely not be placed together with materials that cost hundreds of yuan per kilogram.
