This stone gambling conference is jointly organized by several major raw stone suppliers across the country and major jewelers in Zhonghai. It is quite large in scale and is only held once a year in Zhonghai City.
In order to highlight the grandeur of this conference, the organizer set the venue at the Huahai Building in the city center.
Ye Chen and the four of them arrived at Huahai Building by car. They saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the building, and countless people poured into Huahai Building.
Ye Chen and the other four got out of the car, and as soon as they walked to the door, a young man in luxurious clothes hurried over. It was Wang Ziyu.
"Brother Chen, why are you here? The conference has already started."
Wang Ziyu came over and said with a complaining face.
"There was a traffic jam on the road, so I finally managed to squeeze through by car."
Because of the Stone Gambling Conference, the traffic around Huahai Building became extremely congested, and it took Ye Chen a lot of effort to get to Huahai Building.
Only then did Wang Ziyu notice Su Xiyue next to Ye Chen, and he quickly said with enthusiasm: "She's sister-in-law, right? Hello, I'm Brother Chen's brother, Wang Ziyu, just call me Ziyu."
"Hello."
Su Xiyue nodded and said softly with a polite look.
"This is Xiyue's sister, Su Xiaozhu, and this is her classmate, Qin Shiyao."
Ye Chen introduced Wang Ziyu.
When the two girls saw outsiders, they obviously became ladies. After greeting each other, the five of them entered Huahai Building.
"There are quite a lot of people coming to this stone betting conference."
Ye Chen looked at the people everywhere in the exhibition hall on the first floor and said with a sigh.
"Of course, you must know that such a grand event is only held once a year. Moreover, the quality of the rough stones this time is also the best in recent years, which naturally attracts many people to try their luck."
Wang Ziyu said with a smile: "Betting on stones is much more exciting than stocks and lottery tickets. As the saying goes, one knife will make you poor, another knife will make you rich, and one knife will pierce linen. If you are lucky, if you cut it with one knife, it will be enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime. Of course,
There are countless people who lose everything in one day.”
"I didn't expect that gambling on stones would be so exciting."
Although Su Xiaozhu had heard of stone gambling, this was the first time he came to the scene and he said excitedly.
"The entire venue is divided into four trading areas: area a, area b, area c, and area d. Among them, the rough stones in area a are the most expensive, and the rough stones in area d are the cheapest. They can usually be purchased for hundreds or even thousands. Of course, the cheaper they are.
The quality of the jadeite from the rough stone will be lower. This exhibition hall is the D area, so the people here are also the most. Ordinary people can come here to try their hand, so the D area also has the most people."
Wang Ziyu explained: "What we are going to this time is Area A. The seeds in Area A come from old mining areas in Myanmar. They are high-quality rough stones, and it is easier to produce high-quality jadeite."<
/p>
While talking, Wang Ziyu led Ye Chen and the others up to the fourth floor, the exhibition hall in Area A.
This exhibition hall is much more luxurious than Area D. The floor of the exhibition hall is covered with brand new red carpets.
Compared with area D, the number of people in the exhibition hall of area a is much smaller, but the guests inside are all gorgeously dressed, and they look like wealthy and powerful upper-class people.
Many people are holding flashlights and observing carefully around the gambling stones.
Ye Chen took a rough look and found that the entire exhibition area was divided into three areas.
The first area, boutique area.
The rough stones here are all top-quality rough stones that sell well, but the prices are quite expensive, basically hundreds of thousands or millions.
The second area is the general area, where the original price is slightly cheaper, and you can choose one for tens of thousands of yuan.
The third area is the stone cutting area.
Most customers will cut the rough stone immediately after buying it to see if there is jade inside.
Moreover, the staff in the stone cutting area are all experienced master craftsmen, who can ensure the safety of stone cutting and prevent the jadeite from being damaged.
"Brother Ziyu, do you know much about stone gambling?"
Su Xiaozhu asked curiously.
"Xiao Zhu, you have asked the right person. Although I am not an expert in stone gambling, my family is also in the jade business, so I still know a little about stone gambling."
A proud smile appeared on Wang Ziyu's face. It was rare for him to show off his knowledge, so naturally he spared no effort to tell everything.
"You see, the gambling stones in this exhibition hall are divided into two types: full gambling and half gambling. Full gambling is a complete rough stone, which has not been cut. No one knows whether there is jade in it, so we can only rely on the pattern of the original stone.
and the appearance to judge whether there is jade inside. However, no one is sure about this all-bet method. Even experienced experts will make mistakes sometimes, so the risk of all-bet is quite high, and the price of rough stones is also high.
Just a little lower."
"Half bet is a piece of rough stone that has been cut with a knife, revealing a little bit of emerald green. It is commonly known as opening a skylight, but no one can guarantee how much jade is inside. But half bet's rough stone must at least have jade inside.
, so half-bet rough stones are generally more expensive."
"After cutting out the jadeite, it is natural to look at the quality of the jadeite. Among the jadeites, green is of course the most popular, among which the imperial green is the most respected, followed by emerald. In addition to color, the second is transparency, which is called "water head" in jargon.
"The higher the transparency, the better the quality. For example, ice or glass jade is the best jade and is priceless."
Although Ye Chen and Su Xiyue knew about stone gambling, they still didn't understand some related matters about stone gambling. After Wang Ziyu's introduction, they finally understood stone gambling.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to the general area and have a look."
Su Xiaozhu was a little moved by what Wang Ziyu said, and suggested with excitement.
Now that they are here, they naturally have to spend money. Tens of thousands of yuan of rough stones are not money at all to Su Xiyue and Ye Chen.
Several people came to the general area, and with Su Xiyue's permission, the two girls went to pick their favorite rough stones.
Ye Chen took advantage of this moment to turn on the perspective. Sure enough, Ye Chen could see the green jadeite inside through the thick shell of the original stone.
However, in Ye Chen's sight, the green light of each jadeite is either rich or dim, which should be the reason why the jadeite is good or bad.
Ye Chen casually looked around Su Xiaozhu and Qin Shiyao. Most of them were empty. A small part were jadeite of poor quality, but there was also a jadeite of extremely high quality. Ye Chen looked around, and his eyes were full of jadeite.
Green light.
Since this high-quality jadeite was discovered by Ye Chen, there is no reason to not want it, but now let the two girls choose, maybe this jadeite will be chosen by the two girls.
At this moment, a young man in a suit walked up to Wang Ziyu and whispered a few words.
Suddenly, Wang Ziyu's face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
