Xue Chen squatted in front of the jade stone and observed it carefully. He had never touched it before, and this was the first time he saw jade stone. He secretly thought that such beautiful jade was dug out of such an ugly stone. Nature is really wonderful.
A piece of the stone skin has been cut off from this rough stone, revealing a small patch of green. It's not too bright, but it looks good.
He has heard others say that with modern technology, there is no way to observe the exact conditions inside the rough stones of various gemstones. Therefore, before cutting them, no one knows whether the stones inside are worthless or beautiful. gem.
Thinking of this, Xue Chen suddenly squinted his eyes, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he closed his eyes lightly, then opened them again and looked carefully at the jadeite in front of him.
"Mr. Fei, I've seen this rough jadeite. It's 700,000 yuan. It's impossible for our pawn shop to eat it. The maximum is 200,000 yuan. It's worth it." Shen Wanjun said calmly.
"Two hundred thousand? Impossible. I bought it for one million, and a fool only sold it for two hundred thousand." Fei Qing shook his head.
"That can't be helped. After all, no one knows whether the rough stone is a stone or a gem. Our pawn shop is engaged in profitable business. There is no need to spend 200,000 on gambling." Shen Wanjun said.
"But if a good jadeite comes out, it won't cost hundreds of thousands." Fei Qing stared at Shen Wanjun and said.
"Mr. Fei is sure that there is jade inside? If it is true, why doesn't Mr. Fei decompose it himself and get out the jade? Is he afraid that he won't be able to get rid of it?"
Shen Wanjun raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Fei, although I don't understand the stone gambling industry, I have heard people say that I would rather buy a line than a piece of land. The window in that piece of land is green, and the situation inside is very... Not optimistic."
Fei Qing's heart sank, knowing that he could not fool Shen Wanjun, an old fox. He wanted to get rid of it just because he was not optimistic about this rough stone.
"Since Boss Shen is not interested in this rough stone, excuse me." Fei Qing stood up and prepared to leave with the rough stone.
At this time, Xue Chen had also stood up, walked to Shen Wanjun in a few steps, and said, "Uncle Shen, I think this jadeite rough stone is okay. If the price drops again, I can buy it."
"Um?"
Shen Wanjun raised his head in surprise and looked at Xue Chen, "Xue Chen, do you know how to gamble on stones? Why didn't I know that?"
Fei Qing also stopped and looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chen shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Hearing this, Shen Wanjun took a sip of tea and said kindly: "Xiao Xue, I know you have high attainments in antique appreciation. Although stone gambling and antiques are somewhat related, they are completely different circles. No one I dare say that there is jade in an unopened rough stone."
"But I feel that this rough stone is really good. What if the jadeite is found?" Xue Chen said this, but secretly thought in his heart, not just in case, but definitely!
He had just used his own eyes to see through the inside of the original stone. The green in the window extended all the way to the innermost part. He saw green, a lot of green. It was a piece of jade the size of two fists! It is roughly estimated that it is worth two hundred More than 10,000.
However, he naturally couldn't directly say that there must be jade inside, because he couldn't possibly reveal his biggest secret.
Shen Wanjun still shook his head: "Xiao Xue, needless to say, unless it drops to 200,000, I will never eat it."
Xue Chen watched Fei Qing move the rough stone and planned to leave. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said loudly: "Mr. Fei, I want this rough jade stone worth 400,000 yuan. Do you want to sell it?"
Fei Qing turned around and looked at Xue Chen with raised eyebrows: "Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, I don't know how to gamble on stones. This is also the first time I have seen a rough jade stone. I feel that this rough stone is very destined for me, so I am willing to bid 400,000 yuan. Mr. Fei, I also hope you will consider it carefully. Will anyone Make an offer of 400,000 like me and then make a decision." Xue Chen looked directly at Fei Qing and said.
After hearing Xue Chen's words, Fei Qing immediately began to think. He didn't buy this rough stone for one million, but for four hundred thousand. He opened the window himself. Because he saw a small patch of green after opening the window, he did not continue to explain. Then he consulted two friends who were proficient in stone gambling, but neither of them was optimistic about it, so he decided to sell it to avoid any loss to himself.
"Xue Chen, you are too impulsive." Shen Wanjun dissuaded him with a serious expression.
Xue Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Shen, I am a young man. There are always times when I am impulsive. I can still afford to pay 400,000 yuan. Besides, if everything goes up, Uncle Shen must not regret it."
Seeing that Xue Chen had made up his mind, Shen Wanjun thought to himself: "Well, let Xue Chen suffer a moderate loss. It will also help him in his future path, so as to avoid suffering a greater loss in the future."
With this idea in mind, Shen Wanjun did not dissuade him any more.
Fei Qing didn't think about it for long before he made his decision, "Little brother, for 400,000 yuan, this jadeite stone will be yours."
He sold it for 400,000 yuan. Although he made no profit, he did not lose money either, so he could accept it.
Now, he only has a few hundred thousand in his bank card, and he has no intention of letting Fatty Wang take the money. If Fei Qing regrets it on the way to get the money, or there are other twists and turns, and the transaction is cancelled, the loss will be huge. , so he asked Shen Wanjun to borrow money.
Shen Wanjun didn't say anything and directly transferred 400,000 to Fei Qing.
Looking at the transfer information received on his mobile phone, Fei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said with a smile: "Young man is brave, I appreciate it."
He said this, but in his heart he regarded Xue Chen as an out-and-out fool, and he was secretly glad that he didn't fool Shen Wanjun, an old fox, but a stupid young man came to him on his own.
Xue Chen walked over, squatted down, and touched the rough stone skin with his hands. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up. He was not touching a stone, but a pile of bright coins!
"Little brother, you don't have the tools to remove stones. I have a friend who runs a jewelry store in the city. He has the tools to remove stones. If necessary, I can take you there for free," Fei Qing said cheerfully.
He wanted to see what kind of expression Xue Chen would have on his face when the rough stone was unwrapped and only had a green surface and was full of useless stones.
Xue Chen didn't know what Fei Qing was thinking. He was worried about how to solve the problem. When he heard Fei Qing's suggestion, he naturally agreed.
Shen Wanjun also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Xue Chen carried dozens of kilograms of rough stones into the car, and the three of them each drove their own cars to the entrance of a jewelry store in the city.
There is a small yard behind the jewelry store, and there is a grape tree planted in the yard, which makes it feel like a place of tranquility amidst the chaos.
When Xue Chen arrived, Fei Qing's friend, Zhang Chao, the owner of the jewelry store, was drinking tea and chatting with several friends from the jewelry store under the grape tree.
Zhang Chao watched Fei Qing and Xue Chen enter the yard holding the original stone, and said in surprise: "Isn't this your piece?"
Fei Qing chuckled: "I sold it to this little brother for 400,000."
"Oh? Then... you are here to unblock the stone, right? Put the stone down quickly."
While greeting Zhang Chao, he walked to Fei Qing and said in a low voice: "Qingzi, you are so lucky to find someone who has taken advantage of you."
Zhang Chao has traveled to various provinces and cities many times to participate in stone gambling. He is one of the few stone gambling experts in Haicheng City. He helped Fei Qing identify this rough stone half a month ago. Based on many years of stone gambling experience, he is very disappointed. Take a good look at this rough stone.
While talking, Xue Chen had already moved the original stone to the middle of the yard. Even though he had very good physical strength, he was sweating while carrying a stone weighing dozens of kilograms. But when he thought of the big jadeite inside, It just feels like everything is worth it.
At this time, Shen Wanjun also walked in. Zhang Chao and several of his friends had heard about this famous boss in the Haicheng City antique circle, and they all walked up to chat and learned that Xue Chen was from Daxing. The appraiser is Shen Wanjun's man.
Zhang Chao said with a smile: "Boss Shen, you have to say ugly things up front. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. If this rough stone turns into a pile of scrap after being solved, don't blame me, brother Qingzi."
Shen Wanjun waved his hand: "I understand this naturally, you don't need to tell me."
"Boss Shen, this must be your genius appraiser from Daxing." A chubby friend of Zhang Chao touched his chin and looked at Xue Chen and said.
"I've heard others mention it, and it seems that my ability in appreciating antiques is extraordinary."
"Does this little guy still play stone betting? No way, this is two different things from antiques."
Hearing that Xue Chen was so famous in the antique circle, Fei Qing couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Zhang Chao also frowned and asked in a low voice: "Betting on stones is completely different from appreciating antiques. Betting on stones also requires corresponding experience, Qingzi ,Has he ever played stone betting before?"
Fei Qing smiled and said: "No, don't talk about gambling on stones. He just said that this was the first time he saw jadeite."
"First time?" Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xue Chen, with a playful look in his eyes.
This was not the first time he had seen such people. Everyone came with hope and left with disappointment, and this time was no exception.
"The cutting machine is under that tarpaulin. Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you do it?"
Knowing that this was Xue Chen's first contact with stone gambling, Zhang Chao also lost his patience, pointed to the corner and asked directly.
"I'll do it myself. No need to trouble you. Thank you very much for borrowing your place." Xue Chen said.
He was worried that the jadeite inside would be cut, so he decided to do it himself. He had already seen the inside of the original stone clearly and would not miss it.
"Cut it yourself?" Zhang Chao thought he heard wrongly and asked further.
Seeing that Xue Chen was already walking over with the original stone in his hands, he quickly took a bottle of mineral water and walked over and said: "When cutting, you should always rinse the floating ash on the cutting surface."
"Okay, thank you." Xue Chen took the mineral water and said thank you. (To be continued)
