In the past, although Boss Bao wanted to make friends with those strange people, even though he had a little money, he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of those who were really capable and could not establish relationships with them.
But this time when he met Lin Chen, Boss Bao felt that his opportunity had come.
It's a pity that when he had this idea, Boss Bao remembered that he didn't leave Lin Chen's contact information, which made him regretful.
Unexpectedly, only one night later, Lin Chen would come to visit again. This time, Boss Bao didn't want to miss this opportunity again.
He enthusiastically invited Lin Chen into the store. Boss Bao personally poured him a cup of good tea, and then asked: "Brother Lin, have you gone to claim your bonus? If not, I'll go with you."
"Thank you, Boss Bao, but I have already received the money. I came here this time because I have something I want to ask Boss Bao for help."
"Help? That's no problem! What do you want?"
Lin Chen's words made Boss Bao dream of him.
"Boss Bao, to tell you the truth, I am in urgent need of money right now and need to find a way to earn ten million! I wonder if you have any way to do this?"
"Make money? Ten million? That's easy, just buy lottery tickets."
Boss Bao answered this question without thinking.
Although the idea of making 10 million by buying lottery tickets sounds a bit nonsense, if Lin Chen is really the kind of strange person he thinks, then it shouldn't be a problem to make 10 million through lottery tickets.
"Do you want to continue buying lottery tickets?" Lin Chen shook his head, "That's a way, but I need the money a bit urgently. I have to get it tonight. As for the lottery tickets, I have to wait for the prize redemption date. I can't make it in time."
Boss Bao narrowed his eyes.
Lin Chen's answer was very interesting in his eyes. He didn't think Boss Bao's words were a bit whimsical. Instead, he really considered it. He even considered the date of redemption. He had an attitude of thinking that he would definitely win.
.
Anyone who thinks this way is either crazy or has real skills.
Boss Bao believes that Lin Chen is more likely to be the latter.
After thinking about it, Boss Bao said: "Yes! Brother Lin, if you want to make some quick money, we can go gambling!"
"Gambling?" Lin Chen shook his head quickly, "Boss Bao, please don't hurt me, gambling is against the law!"
Boss Bao sneered and said: "You are overthinking this, little brother Lin. The gambling I am talking about is not gambling, but gambling on stones! Gambling is illegal, but gambling on stones is fine!"
"Gambling on stones?" Lin Chen was stunned, "Isn't that something played in the southwest? But this is the East China Sea..."
"This is what you don't know, little brother Lin, do you still remember the old Li with glasses yesterday? He specializes in the jade business! I heard him say yesterday that several of their jade suppliers have recently joined forces to
We set up a stone betting market and spent a lot of money to ship a batch of jadeite rough stones from abroad specifically for stone betting."
"This gambling stone is actually similar to scratch-off lottery. You win instantly. If you win, you don't have to worry about selling it. There are specialized jade suppliers there who specialize in buying jade from others, and you can get the money on the same day."
"I heard from Lao Li that if you have good luck in stone gambling, a top-quality jadeite rough can often sell for hundreds or even tens of millions! Brother Lin, if your luck in stone gambling can be as good as the lottery you bought yesterday, your luck will
Ten million is no problem at all!”
"Betting on stones? It's interesting. This is a way."
Lin Chen touched his chin. Although he had never played stone gambling before, if the situation was as Boss Bao said and this stone gambling was really similar to scratch-off games, then it would really be a way to make quick money.
"Boss Bao, where is the stone betting market? I'm going to go take a look now."
Boss Bao smiled and said: "Brother Lin, if you want to go, I won't do any business today. Come on, I will take you there myself!"
Boss Bao didn't want to miss the opportunity to confirm Lin Chen's ability with his own eyes again.
He asked Lin Chen to wait directly on the roadside. Soon, a boxy SUV with a Mercedes-Benz brand stopped in front of Lin Chen.
After getting in the car, Lin Chen looked at the interior of the car and said, "Boss Bao, your car is also a Mercedes-Benz? It looks so ugly, so it shouldn't be expensive, right?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just over two million," Boss Bao said calmly.
Lin Chen almost spit out his saliva: "What, so expensive? Why don't you buy a sports car?"
"Brother Lin, don't you understand? I'm old, and I'm not a young person. What kind of sports car do I drive? It's better to buy something like this. It's big, strong, low-profile, and I won't feel bad if I bump into it."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes, saying that the car costing more than two million yuan didn't feel bad when it hit him.
Well, Lin Chen really needs time to get used to the idea of rich people.
After a while, Boss Bao had already driven the car to Jade Antique Street.
As the name suggests, this is where the largest number of jade shops and antique shops are concentrated in the entire Donghai City, and the Stone Gambling Market that Boss Bao mentioned is the latest area opened on this street.
Although stone gambling is no longer unfamiliar to the public, due to the place of origin, most gambling stones are concentrated in the southwest. For example, in the East China Sea area, they have always been rare. Therefore, this newly opened stone gambling market is very rare.
It attracted a lot of people.
When Lin Chen and Boss Bao arrived, the place was already bustling with people. There were not only ordinary people watching the excitement, but also big bosses who wanted to take a gamble.
The gambling stone market is divided into several areas, each area is owned by a supplier, and displays the raw stones imported by this supplier.
Boss Li, whom Lin Chen had met before, was currently sitting at a stall in one of the areas, but his position was deeper and he had to walk further in for a while.
"How does it feel here?"
Boss Bao asked while leading Lin Chen all the way.
Lin Chen shrugged: "It looks pretty good, but this is my first time betting on stones, and I don't know how it will turn out."
Boss Bao smiled: "Brother Lin, I heard Lao Li once said that there is a saying in this stone gambling, it is called one knife to make you poor, one knife to make you rich, one knife to open a billion-dollar household. If you are really lucky to get rich, don't say
Ten million, even one hundred million, you can make it today."
"If you are interested, you can buy a piece here and try it first. This stone gambling market is divided into three areas. The prices of rough stones sold in each area are different. This is the low-price area. The lowest price for a rough stone is one thousand, and the highest price.
It won’t exceed one hundred thousand, you can try it first.”
"Lao Li's stall is the highest-end million-dollar rough stone area. The stones there cost at least one million dollars. We don't have to rush there."
While he was talking, Boss Bao had already led Lin Chen to a stall where dozens of rough stones of different sizes were piled up. Some were priced at less than a thousand, while others were priced at tens of thousands.
Lin Chen felt that what Boss Bao said was reasonable, so he wanted to buy one to try first.
While looking at these rough stones, Lin Chen mentally calculated the success rate of finding jade from these rough stones.
0%, 0%, 0%... I looked at several rough stones in a row, and the probability of finding jadeite in them was zero.
Although there is no scientific method that can directly tell whether there is jade in a rough stone, through various means, jade experts can still roughly guess the situation of jade in some rough stones.
Those that can be placed in the low-price area are basically rough stones that are judged by experts to be unlikely to have jade, or that jade can be found, but the quality is not necessarily good.
Therefore, Lin Chen was not surprised that there were several zeros in a row.
But after searching for a while, he finally found a rough stone with a 100% chance of finding an emerald.
"That's it."
After spending 20,000 yuan to buy the rough stone, Lin Chen immediately took the stone to the nearby stone-breaking platform and asked someone to help him break the stone.
There are experts at the stone cutting station who can cut the stone for others, or you can cut it yourself.
But Lin Chen had no experience, so he directly asked someone to do it for him.
Soon, the rough stone he selected was perfectly processed by the stone-cutting master.
When the green light came on from the rough stone, Boss Bao on the side immediately shouted happily: "It's green! It's green! Brother Lin, you are so lucky!"
The first time he bought a rough stone, he was able to hit it with one hit. Boss Bao once again had a profound understanding of Lin Chen's good luck.
However, just when both of them were happy, the master Jie Shi next to them poured cold water on them.
"Little brother, your emerald is of average size, so I'm afraid it's not too big. How much did you spend on it? If it's less than 50,000, you should still be able to make a small profit."
After listening to the master's explanation, Lin Chen finally understood that there is actually a difference between jadeite and scratch-off music. Even if there is jadeite in a rough stone, the result will be very different depending on the quality of the jadeite extracted.
If you are lucky, a few hundred pieces of jadeite rough can produce millions of jadeites. If you are unlucky, you can only get a few hundred jadeites from the rough stone you spent millions on.
Lin Chen's luck this time was relatively average. The cost of his rough stone was 20,000 yuan. Although jadeite was indeed found, the quality and size of the jadeite inside were very ordinary. He asked the jade merchants nearby who specialized in purchasing jadeite.
Asked, and finally sold one for 45,000, making a small profit.
"Brother Lin, that's it. You'll get something for your first shot. You're so lucky!"
Although it was only a small profit, Boss Bao was already impressed by Lin Chen. He had never seen such an outstanding person who won whatever he bought.
Compared to Boss Bao, Lin Chen is a little dissatisfied. Compared with betting on stones and playing scratch-off games, the biggest problem is that even if you win the prize, you may not be able to make ends meet. Unlike scratch-off games, as long as you win the lottery, you can at least get your money back.
This time he was lucky and got a jadeite at a price higher than the cost.
But if next time he spends 100,000 yuan and only gets a 100 yuan jadeite, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
If only I could figure out how much these rough jade stones are worth...
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's mind.
