Chapter 8: Gambling Stone Street – Part 1
In the morning of the next day, Lin Luo and Xing Mo finished their breakfast and took a suspended vehicle to Gambling Stone Street.
This is the first time that Lin Luo had taken a suspended vehicle. He used the light brain to make an appointment directly online, enter the starting point and the end point, confirm the time and pay, and it will come to pick him up directly, which is very convenient and fast.
Lots of people have already been here in Gambling Stone Street early in the morning. There are ordinary people who want to get rich overnight and come here to try their luck and see they can bet on jade. There are also children from large families who seek excitement and come to have a fun. There are also some stone gambling experts who are hired here to choose jadeite.
In addition, there are many traders and family managers who wander around Gambling Stone Street all day long and want to purchase raw materials directly. Traders speculate on jadeite to make a difference, while the managers of the big families purely work to buy back to maintain the internal consumption of their family. After all, if the family wants to grow, it absolutely cannot lack energy liquid.
Therefore, in Gambling Stone Street business is quite good.
Lin Luo followed Xing Mo towards the stone gambling street, looking around curiously. He happened to hear a lively noise coming from a distance, and people immediately all ran in the direction where the sound came from.
“Brother Xing, what’s wrong over there?” Lin Luo asked curiously.
“It should be someone who’s opened a stone and found something good.” Xing Mo looked at the way his eyes were shining, and couldn’t help suggesting authentically, “Would you like to take a look?”
“Okay, okay! Let’s go!” Lin Luo very happily took Xing Mo’s hand, and hurried towards the crowd.
Xing Mo glanced at their connected hands, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.
Soon, they came to the stone area, and there was indeed someone cutting jadeite here.
A middle-aged man stared at the piece of jadeite that was placed on the cutting machine with a red face, and the joy on his face was beyond words.
Because there were too many people, Lin Luo was blocked outside, unable to see, rubbing his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Xing Mo looked amused, so he took the initiative to move forward, dragging Lin Luo to the left and right, and unexpectedly managed to squeeze to the front of the crowd with his tall physique.
Lin Luo, who was finally able to see the stone cutting and grinding area, immediately gave Xing Mo a big smile of gratitude. Xing Mo felt that looking at his smile, his mood seemed to get better.
Unfortunately, for him all Lin Luo’s attention was on that piece of jadeite.
It was a jadeite with a white sand matrix, and its appearance was gray-white. Lin Luo had been genetically strengthened, and his eyesight was not only restored, but also a bit stronger than ordinary people. Although there was a distance of 1 or 2 meters [1], he still saw the appearance of that piece of jadeite clearly.
According to the information he checked yesterday, the jade inside the jadeite of the white sand matrix is usually good, and the sand of this white sand matrix looks finer, indicating that it is very possible to produce jade with high transparency.
Now this piece of jadeite has been ground open, revealing the full and translucent green of the jade. That clear and translucent color attracted the attention of everyone including Lin Luo.
“This gentleman, I’ll give out 200,000!”
“I will pay 250,000!”
“I’ll pay 300,000!”
Around the middle-aged man, 3 or 4 people were shouting prices.
Lin Luo didn’t know what they were doing, but he was embarrassed to ask.
But suddenly someone whispered in his ear, “They are purchasing speculators who specialize in reselling business. Seeing that his piece of jadeite is going well, they want to buy it and finish opening it by themselves.”
Lin Luo looked up and found that the speaker turned out to be Xing Mo.
Lin Luo’s ears turned red, and he quickly thanked him in a low voice.
The price was shouted to 500,000 all the way, and the middle-aged man also showed a struggling color on his face. Because of the good quality of this piece of jadeite, the initial price was 200,000 credits, which almost spent most of his savings. Unexpectedly, just partially grinding a stone has already doubled the investment and more. If you continue grinding down…?
Master Jie Shi also smiled and waited for the middle-aged man’s decision. Whether the customer intends to sell it or continue to open it by himself, his cutting machine has a good start, and today’s business is definitely not bad!
After all, gambling on rocks is very particular about luck, so anyone who likes gambling on rocks is a little bit superstitious and likes to follow suit. If there is a store where the gambling stone has soared in value, then people will follow the trend to buy jadeite from that store, and the business will be so hot that other will be jealous.
This is the same when it comes to understanding Master Shi.
What’s more, the customer originally had to pay 2,000 credits to Master Jie Shi to open the stone in-store. If the customer gets a big payoff, as the one who cut the stone he can expect a big red envelope. So Master Jie Shi can be said that besides the middle-aged man himself, he most hopes that the bet will pay off well.
“I, I won’t sell for now! Master! You can continue to grind it…” The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Master Jie Shi.
According to the window surface currently opened, the jade inside should be spinach-green color ice jade. If the jade is big enough, it may sell for several million, so he will grit his teeth and insist on grinding it.
“Good!” The stone master pressed down the grinding wheel again and polished the piece of jadeite.
The grinding wheel swiftly turned, and when the Master Stone Stone stopped his hands and splashed water on the window surface, a large swath of verdant green leaped into his eyes.
“It has gone up!”
“It’s up again!”
“It looks like it should be spinach-green color excellent quality ice jade!”
“It’s such a big piece, it seems that the jade inside must be too small!”
The people around him talked about it. Lin Luo opened his eyes and pricked his ears to listen carefully. He was like a sponge, desperately absorbing all knowledge about gambling on rocks. This is something he could never do as a colorblind person in the past!
“Sir! I pay 800,000 yuan! I will bear the risks behind this jadeite!”
“No, no, no, sir, I paid 850,000 yuan! You see that your piece of jadeite is performing well now, but as the saying goes, it is not considered a rise. If this is a risk in the future, it is better to pass it on to us. ?”
The people who had bid before got round again, and began to persuade them with one sentence on the left.
But their highest bid was only 900,000. No matter how high they were, they refused to continue. After all, no one can say that the internal situation of this jadeite is bad.
The middle-aged man’s heart began to struggle again, and finally he gritted his teeth and continued to rub down.
When the green can no longer be wiped out, the exposed jade is already as big as the palm of an adult man.
At this moment, those people’s quotations finally exceeded one million, but the middle-aged man refused to sell it. He looked at the exposed jade, he could no longer restrain his inner excitement. The exposed part was so large, even if The jade inside is only half the size of the jadeite, and it can sell for more than 3 million!
He took a deep breath, widened his eyes and said, “Cut, cut it…”
Since the green can’t be wiped out, it would be a waste of time to continue to wipe it out. You can already start to cut the jade according to the trend of the edge of the jade. Cut the jadeite and use the most intuitive method to see exactly how big the jade is inside!
“Okay!” The stone master immediately replaced the chrome knife, aimed at the exposed edge of the emerald, and slowly cut it down.
After one size cut, the cut surface was splashed with water, and a layer of white mist was exposed. White fog is generally considered to be a good fog for betting on rocks, and there is a high possibility that green will appear below the fog layer.
It can be said that this knife is cut up.
If the middle-aged man is willing to sell this piece of jadeite at this time, he can sell it at a high price of at least 1.5 million yuan.
But the confidence of the middle-aged man has begun to swell. He believes that there will be a large piece of jade underneath. Now he is saying that he will not sell anything. He must open this piece of jade completely!
The people around also calmed down, waiting to see the situation of the second knife.
The second knife is to cut along the other side of the jade. Two knives can almost cut out the outline of this jade. If it can cut out the green, then the jadeite will be 100% higher. !
Unfortunately, the second knife did not cut out the green or foggy layer, but a bare stone layer, but the current trend of this piece of jadeite is still bullish.
“Should you start rubbing from the fog layer?” Master Xie Shi asked.
It’s a little risky to continue cutting. After all, I don’t know the direction of the jade inside. If you accidentally cut the jade inside in half, causing energy to escape, it would be too wasteful.
“Okay! Keep grinding!”
Everyone held their breath, staring at the grinding wheel continuously rolling without blinking.
Finally, the grinding wheel stopped.
After seeing the wiped window, the faces of the middle-aged man and the master stone master suddenly became ugly.
