Chapter 336

Liu Sizhe came back in time, so that everyone just caught the plane at five o'clock. So before seven o'clock in the evening, everyone set foot on the land of Lingnan.

Along with the four people going to Yangmei this time, there is an old man in his fifties. His name is an Yongqing, a master of gambling stones dug up by yihongguo from other people's company. It is said that his highest record of gambling stones is to pick ten pieces of wool, up by six pieces, and one of them is glass.

Such a record, put in the gambling circle, really called the master of gambling.

The reason why Yi Hongguo took an Yongqing with him was that he wanted to witness Chu Chen's gambling with his own eyes first. Don't come to the critical moment when they had a conflict because of their different opinions.

Anyongqing didn't look down on chuchen because he was young. After all, yihongguo's business is so big that he can't make fun of it. However, he still doesn't believe chuchen's achievements.

This is because an Yongqing learned from the story of Yihong kingdom that chuchen's level has caught up with Myanmar's Weng Lao, who is called the Jade King, and chuchen's is only in his early twenties, which makes him hard to believe.

Although he knew that the apprentice of King jadeite had such achievements, in his opinion, Chu Chen certainly could not compare with the apprentice of King jadeite.

Seeing the disbelief in an Yongqing's eyes, Yi Hongguo didn't say much. Some things are false to his ears and true to his eyes. As long as he saw them with his own eyes, he would know how powerful Chu Chen was.

Yihongguo called his friend before he got on the plane, so as soon as we got out of the corridor, we saw a pick-up with a big brand. So we took his car and began to set out for the destination of this trip.

Yangmei is a professional jade village integrating jade production, processing and trade. It is known as the "hometown of gold and jade", but it is a village that does not produce jade. Here is the largest jade wholesale market in Lingnan, and also the largest jade wholesale market in China.

Moreover, since 2000, the quantity and quality of jade products produced and sold by Yangmei have surpassed that of Xiangjiang, and Yangmei has become the world's largest high-end jade distribution center. With all these, Yudu has become the synonym of Yangmei.

Yangmei has a long history of making and selling jade. Since 1905, villagers have been engaged in jade processing, production and trade for nearly 100 years.

So far, there are more than five hundred households engaged in jade processing, which is equivalent to more than five hundred households. In other words, almost all the villagers are engaged in the business related to jadeite.

Among them, some focus on the trade of finished jadeite products, some focus on the processing of jadeite, and many people focus on the business of raw jadeite stones. Of course, gambling stones are indispensable, and there are still many people involved in the business of gambling stones.

Therefore, there is no lack of such fascinating and lamentable legends as overnight wealth or millions of dollars in vain.

Yangmei, known as the jade capital, is undoubtedly a good place for jade collectors and lovers, and a cornucopia for jade merchants. As a large-scale professional high-end jade trading market, it not only has exquisite and valuable jade carving, but also has a unique business operation mode.

According to the introduction of yihongguo, Yang Meiren has a set of ways to avoid risks in the processing of jade.

According to the consistent practice of the village, the villagers implement the joint-stock operation on the basis of voluntary combination, sharing the risks and profits.

When the emerald raw material is transported to the village, the experienced appraisers will first evaluate and analyze it, and then negotiate the price. The villagers who want to participate in it will voluntarily form a joint-stock partner. After uncovering the wool, it is divided into jade products and sold on the market. As a result, there are more and more jade processing plants and carving plants, and their development is more and more mature.

When Chu Chen heard of this unique business operation mode, he couldn't help sighing. With such business experience, it's reasonable for Yangmei to become the present jade capital.

When chuchen and his family got off the bus, Yangmei gave them the most intuitive impression. It didn't look like a village, but like they came to a prosperous city. Moreover, there were star hotels in a village, which made chuchen hard to imagine.

After getting off the bus, we put the salute in the room prepared for them in advance. After settling down, we followed yihongguo to the hotel that we had made an appointment on the phone.

After arriving there, Yihong introduced his friend, Qiang Zhaojun, and he was also an old friend. From the appearance of Qiang Zhaojun, he was bigger than Yihong. According to yihongguo, it has been no less than 15 years since Qiang Zhaojun's gambling experience.

They exchanged greetings and politeness for a while. When the waiter served, Qiang Zhaojun warmly and appropriately advised him to drink.

Of course, Hu Yong abides by his duty as a bodyguard and never drinks. Qiang Zhaojun advised him for a long time, but he failed. Later he heard that he was Chu Chen's bodyguard, so he gave up. However, Qiang Zhaojun also knew that Chu Chen's identity was not so simple.

During the dinner, no one talked about the topic of gambling stones. In Qiang Zhaojun's words, eating is a time for physical and mental rest. It's better not to talk about business. However, Qiang Zhaojun is very talkative and humorous. He talks with Yihong Guodong. For a while, he keeps talking and laughing. After a meal, everyone gets closer.After dinner, yihongguo asked with a smile: "Lao Qiang, what I told you before, how are you thinking about?"

"You fellow, as if I owe you." Hearing this, Qiang Zhaojun said with a smile, "I have no problem with this, but I need the jade carving master's consent."

Hearing the speech, Yihong said with a smile, "Lao Qiang, you're playing tricks! We don't know the master of jade carving in your factory. Who knows which technology is better? Since you agree, you can do it well and arrange everything for me. This is the first thing my younger martial brother asked me to do. If I fail, where do you put my face

Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and said with a smile, "OK, OK, I'm afraid of you. I'll arrange it for you."

Chu Chen was also quick to respond. As soon as his voice fell, he took up the cup and said, "brother Qiang, thank you so much. I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine first."

To tell you the truth, a jade carving master with good technology and development potential is also very important for a jade processing factory. It must be a fake to give Chu Chen such a job.

However, who let friends for many years to ask for their own head? This must give friends some face. Therefore, Qiang Zhaojun naturally accepted Chu Chen's thanks.

"There's nothing to say about it. Thank you for your help! Brother Chu, I heard from Lao Yi before, "you are a good gambler?"

Chu Chen said modestly: "ha ha, I can't talk about it. It's just that I have a little experience in gambling stones, and I'm lucky."

Qiang Zhaojun said with a smile: "you see, modesty is not good. As the saying goes, gamblers have three points of experience and seven points of luck. Luck is part of our strength in our business. In this way, I don't know if I can ask you to help me with something. "

"Brother Qiang, please say that as long as I can help, I'm bound to do it!" Chu Chen said solemnly.

Qiang Zhaojun said: "it's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say. It's related to a gambling activity tomorrow night."

"Lao Qiang, you don't mean there will be" a knife of gold "tomorrow, do you?" Yi Hong country interposed a way.

"Yes." Qiang Zhaojun nodded.

"A knife of gold? What does that mean? " The rest of the audience were very curious about this.

Yi Hongguo explained with a smile: "this activity is held once a year, and the procedure is very simple, that is, if the value of the jadeite is higher than that of the selected wool, the winner can win, and the winner can get the jadeite from all the competitors, so this activity is called a knife of gold."

"Oh? Did you choose and bring the wool, or did the organizer provide it? " Liu Sizhe asked a key question.

"It's not only our own, but also provided by the organizer." Yihongguo replied.

"What do you mean? Isn't that unfair? " Chu Chen frowned and said.

"Ha ha!" Qiang Zhaojun explained with a smile: "of course, it will not be unfair, because there are two rounds in the competition. In the first round, the competition is based on the wool they brought, and then the stone is removed on the spot. The top six winners are selected for the second round. In this round, the contestants choose one of the wool provided by the organizer, and then the stone is removed on the spot, and finally the winner is decided."

"In this case, whose jade is the first round of the competition?"

"Not one of them. It's all for the final winner."

Liu Sizhe was surprised and said, "in this way, won't the winner earn at least ten million yuan?"

"Of course." Qiang Zhaojun said: "I remember a competition the year before last at most. The champion finally made 270 million yuan of wool!"

"270 million!"

This figure really startled everyone. Even if what Qiang Zhaojun said was an understatement, they could fully imagine how thrilling and exciting the scene was. No wonder there will be two matches. If there is only one, it will be unfair.

After a while, Chu Chen then asked, "brother Qiang, there should be other rules for this game, right? For example, in the first round, there will be some restrictions on wool, right

Qiang Zhaojun said: "of course, it is stipulated that the weight of wool in the first competition should not be more than 10 kg, and it must be all wool. In addition, the age of the contestants must not be more than 30, which is why I want to ask you for help."

Chu Chen clearly nodded, it is estimated that this is one of the reasons for setting up two matches.
