This is the current situation of stone gambling.
Jade is a non-renewable resource. As the production of old pits gradually decreases, the new pits that are developed have tender stones with evil colors, but the asking prices are frighteningly high. This results in endless bets and losses.
Anyone who dares to bet on head covering materials is either a novice in the eyes of the owner of the stone betting shop, a talented person with incredible luck, or a master who hides his secrets.
In Zheng Quanzi's eyes, buying this batch of stones meant that he was extremely lucky.
Although there is no high-end jade above ice, the betting rate is frighteningly high.
"This batch of stones is..."
"Packed!" Ye Qing smiled and said: "A total of one hundred and three yuan, a total of ten million!"
"Cheap!" Zheng Quanzi praised, bent down and touched the stone under his feet. There was a faint fishy smell, and he knew that the origin of this stone was unusual.
Soaking the stone in water is the most basic operation of the stone circle.
Not only the jade stones, but also many cut pieces, bracelet blanks, and even some finished products, merchants will soak them in water to let the jade be nourished by the water.
When it was sold, it was even more crystal clear with water droplets.
But no one will soak the stones to make them smell bad.
There are also several stones soaked in the rockery pool in this villa. The most conspicuous one is the piece of red sand that has sunk into the water.
However, this is to maintain the stone. The water is living water and will not stink after being soaked for a long time.
Soaking stones with stagnant water and soaking them to make them smelly is what a mentally retarded person would do.
Zheng Quanzi walked towards the uncut stones on the other side. Under the strong light of the flashlight, these stones all had traces of being scrubbed.
Brushing stone is also a basic operation.
Except for water stones and mountain rocks, before they are unearthed, there is a lot of sand and soil stuck to the surface, and they must be scrubbed clean to expose the skin. At the same time, the stone shell was thinned with an iron brush to reveal the pythons, pine flowers and other expressions inside, doubling its value.
Another purpose of painting the stone is to remove the characteristics of the stone and make it unrecognizable.
He couldn't help but look back at Jinsha.
Jin Sha pouted: "What are you looking at? This stone is not mine."
Ye Qing coughed twice: "Beauties don't care about their age, and stones don't care about their provenance."
Zheng Quanzi grinned, Teng Chong, Ruili and Yingjiang's stone gambling merchants, collecting smuggled stones is purely a normal operation, which is not something to envy.
But these stones were definitely stolen goods, so all the stones were washed and then cut off in order to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
Zheng Quanzi was looking at the stones, and Wen Yuanshan was also looking at the stones.
Ye Qing asked Zhang Zuo to transport this batch of stones back in a military vehicle.
Wang Jian and Fan Tong were responsible for escorting.
When it was shipped back, it was packaged very tightly.
But after unpacking, the stench hit his face and made Wang Liang vomit.
Wen Yuanshan knew what was going on at the first sight, and immediately called Zhang Junbao and Pang Kun over to assign tasks. Wang Jian, Fan Tong, and the four of them were responsible for washing the stones, and Wang Liang was responsible for cutting the stones.
The two automatic stone cutting machines in the garage never stopped, cutting one piece after another.
Although Wen Yuanshan concluded that Ye Qing must have another secret behind packing these stones.
But this batch of stones was so smelly that I didn’t dare to use them until they were washed out.
As for Lao Daoye, he originally planned to use his eyes as an excuse, but he didn't expect that Ye Qing would just pack it up.
Although he knew that there must be something good in this pile of stones, he finally succumbed to the lustful power of ten million.
Therefore, no one knew whether it was Chen Juncai, Chen Lu, Lao Daoye, Dao Zhen, or Wen Yuanshan, which stone Ye Qing had his eye on.
Although they are masters and apprentices, and they share the same jade-seeking skills, the generation gap means that the master and apprentice look at stones in different ways.
"By the way, what are the rules for making friends with stones!" Ye Qing also walked over and carefully observed the Supreme Stone. This stone is a top-grade color material, and the probability of finding a high-grade jadeite is over 60%.
Zheng Quanzi stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "Whether the stones in the rockery pool are worth betting on or not."
Ye Qing shook his head decisively: "That is a collection. If we don't go bankrupt and prepare for a comeback, that piece of red sand leather must not be touched."
Zheng Quanzi immediately laughed, not because he was afraid of losing, but because Ye Qing finally had something he recognized.
For a jade merchant, heirlooms are never stocks, money and jade jewelry.
It is a collection-level stone, or an uncut open material.
Uncut stone contains infinite possibilities. However, before the real owner of the jadeite material is found, it is ground into jadeite jewelry, which actually loses its value.
Rich people who are not short of money will always play in customization, not second-hand.
This has evolved into the fact that collection-level stones and uncut materials increase in value much faster than jewelry.
Of course, mid- to low-end jadeite materials can also increase in value, but the rate of increase is too slow.
"The rule of making friends with stones is that each party takes out a stone. After cutting it, the value of the jadeite is judged. The winning side takes two pieces of jadeite." Zheng Quanzi looked at him deeply: "And, you also owe the other party a promise. .”
Ye Qing chuckled. If the last sentence was changed to mean that the winning side would have priority in selecting gambling stones in the next Burmese public auction, it would be the rules of the three major jade guilds of Yun Province, Chaoshan and Xiangjiang.
However, this time only the Jade Saint and the Jade General were gambling on the stone, while the Jade King and the Jade Dragon King were absent.
Therefore, the outcome of the gambling fight cannot be counted.
"Senior, this stone has excellent performance in planting colors. Now it just needs to be cracked."
Yu Sheng smiled. It's useless for you to remind Wen Yuanshan. He must find a stone that can compete with this piece of public material from this pile of small boutiques. Otherwise, he will definitely lose: "If you have nothing to do, just Can you open a window for me?"
Among the skills of gambling on stones, opening windows is definitely a technical job.
The magic window opened by the gods can cause huge errors in your judgment of a stone.
Ye Qing's heart jumped into his throat, and suddenly fell back into the distance.
Although it is said to be able to block the Supreme Being, this stone is a color material.
Therefore, as long as this stone is not cut, it will be difficult to open a good window.
"Wang Liang, go get the stone cleaning machine and help senior open a window!"
Wang Liang agreed, dragged out the wire plug-in board and stone cleaning machine from the garage, replaced it with a flat blade wheel, and asked out of habit: "Senior, open the window from there!"
Zheng Quanzi looked at Ye Qing suspiciously: "This is top-notch color material, why don't you do it yourself."
Wang Liang's eyes widened: "Senior looks down on people, I won't serve you anymore."
Zheng Quanzi shook his head: "I don't mean that, I just want to see Ye Qing's skill at opening windows."
"Ahem!" Wang Liang coughed repeatedly, thinking to himself, this is also a master who won't shed tears without seeing the coffin.
But Ye Qing knew what Zheng Quanzi was thinking. Even the descendants trained by the Jade Family may not be masters of stone gambling.
These rich second or third generations have long lost the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship of their ancestors and fathers. They fell into a nest of wealth as soon as they were born. They are all arrogant and extravagant. They buy luxury cars and play celebrities, but none of them take it seriously. Learn to gamble on stones.
Moreover, stone gambling is not only a technical job, but also a hard, dirty and tiring job. How can these young masters and noble ladies from a noble family endure such hardship...
