"Oh my God, it's really soapstone. It looks pretty good!"
"I heard that the price of soapstone has skyrocketed in recent years, with one gram costing several thousand yuan."
When everyone saw the bloodstone being opened, they all started talking with their eyes shining, as if the bloodstone belonged to them.
The middle-aged man gambling on stones had a smile on his face. He was Zou Wenjun, the president of Toyama Company. For him, gambling on stones was not about making money, but just to enjoy the exciting process.
Soon, the stone was cut into smaller and smaller pieces, and finally a bloodstone about the size of an egg was cut out.
"Mr. Zou, I don't know if you can sell this piece of chicken blood stone. I'm willing to pay 200,000 yuan to buy it."
Collector Chen Yuanqing said to Zou Wenjun that a piece of chicken blood stone of this size is just right for a seal.
Zou Wenjun smiled and said nothing.
"You only want to buy such a large piece of chicken blood stone for only 200,000 yuan. Mr. Chen, you are too stingy. I will pay you 250,000 yuan."
Zhu Hongcai smiled disdainfully and added 50,000 yuan. He was also an entrepreneur. These people often came here to gamble on stones, so they all knew each other.
Chen Yuanqing clasped his fists and said, "I'll give you 260,000 yuan. I want to use this bloodstone to make a seal. I wonder if Mr. Zhu is willing to part with me?"
Zhu Hongcai smiled a bit, "Unfortunately, I also want to engrave a seal. When this man reaches middle age, he wants to leave something behind. I will pay 300,000 yuan to buy this chicken blood stone."
Chen Yuanqing's face looked a little ugly, "Mr. Zhu, is it possible that he deliberately wants to go against me? I will pay 310,000."
"Mr. Chen, you are too stingy. You only add 10,000 yuan each time, and I will pay 350,000 yuan." Zhu Hongcai did not give in at all.
"Humph, I'll pay 380,000 yuan. If Mr. Zhu keeps arguing, I won't give it up." Chen Yuanqing gritted his teeth. Although he had a little money, he was still far behind compared with these factory bosses.
"Four hundred thousand, I want to order the bloodstone." Zhu Hongcai shook the Rolex watch on his wrist, determined to get it.
"snort!"
Chen Yuanqing snorted and had to give up. He had no choice but to do so. His pockets were not as big as others.
Zou Wenjun threw the chicken blood stone to Zhu Hongcai, "This chicken blood stone belongs to Mr. Zhu."
"Thank you very much!"
The fat man was about to get down, and he shouted: "I'll go! It's too easy to make money here. Let's quickly get two pieces to play with, maybe we can also cut out chicken blood stones! The stone bet is successful, the young model of the club, bet on the stone If you fail, go to work in the fields!”
Jiang Lina rolled her eyes at Hu Ba and said with some contempt: "Fat man, you are so wretched, you will definitely not be able to cut jade."
The fat man grinned, "If I get any jade, I'll give it all to you, little sister."
Jiang Lina snorted softly, "Humph, you should stay and find the young model!"
The fat man thought that you are much more upright than those young models.
As the fat man said this, he couldn't wait to pick rocks. Wang Dachun and Jiang Lina looked at each other and followed.
A staff member came up to us and said, "Guys, I see you are newbies too. Let me give you a brief introduction."
This guy has a very accurate eye, and as soon as he sees the fat man talking, he knows that this girl has never gambled on jade.
Wang Dachun nodded, "That's good work."
It turns out that there are basically four types of stone gambling: full gambling, window opening, modified gambling, and open material gambling.
Compared with other gambling methods, the unknown nature of full bet is the strongest. It means that the value of a rough stone is determined by feeling and experienced observation without any prediction.
However, the risk of this kind of dark material is very high.
This kind of full-scale surgery is generally not easy to cut directly. Usually, a small opening is made at a precise place, and the opening is slowly expanded to see the internal situation.
When it gets to the point where it's really difficult for you to control it, usually you won't open it any further, and you'll either change hands, or you'll stay and continue to think about it.
To open a window, you cut off a little bit of the outer skin of the stone material to expose an opening. This practice is called window opening.
You can observe the jade contained inside it through the window opening, so as to observe and infer what the inside of the jade material is like.
Although the ones with windows seem to be more reliable than those without windows, if you want to see the quality of the jade material through the window, you still need to have rich experience.
From the outer skin or window opening, it is actually rare to find out that there is high green inside. What’s more, there are some so-called rogue windows, etc. There may be another big hole waiting for you to jump.
There are a lot of great people on the market who open windows. The area that comes out of the window can be so good that it will make you scream, but when you actually cut it open, it will make you drop your glasses.
For some novices who want to play stone gambling, it is really difficult to say without enough experience. After all, the risks involved in both are quite high.
The modification means that the visible interior is much larger than what is exposed through the window. It can be a large window or a half-cut one. The risk is very low, and it is generally suitable for newcomers.
However, these prices are generally very high.
It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has almost lost the original "gambling nature" of gambling on stones.
Basically, the value can be calculated. At this time, the competition is to see who has more money and can buy good materials.
Of course, internal cotton, cracks, etc. still need to be taken into consideration.
Several people looked at each other. They didn't expect that there were so many ways to play stones. These rich people really knew how to play.
The fat man stuck the sign that read "Touch your hands to read fortune, and touch your chest to tell your fortune" into the clothes behind his neck, and went to pick out stones.
Jiang Lina frowned slightly, "Dachun, where did this perverted Taoist priest come from? I think it's better for you to have less contact with him in the future!"
Wang Dachun chuckled, "Don't look at him with his leering look, but he is actually quite a good person, not as bad as he looks on the surface!"
Jiang Lina curled her lips and said, "Tch, you two really flock together."
Wang Dachun grinned, "Brother is much better than him!"
Soon, the fat man picked a stone the size of a human head. The stone was cut into a small piece, exposing scattered jade stones.
Wang Dachun took a look and said, "Fat man, I suggest you change it to another one. There is no jade in this stone."
The fat man didn't believe it at all, "No way, there must be jade in it. I've already seen jade."
Wang Dachun shook his head. He had already reminded him. Since Fatty didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do.
This kind of stone is called Gai Kou, and the price is relatively high. Such a stone costs 50,000 yuan, which makes the fat man feel distressed for a while.
"Hahaha, the Taoist priests also came to gamble on stones. It's so interesting!"
"Look, what does the Taoist priest say on his sign? He touches his hands to read fortunes, or probes his breasts to tell fortunes? It's really weird. He clearly wants to take advantage of women. Why does the city management not care about it? It's really ruining the trend."
"Haha, this girl is still a perverted Taoist priest, it's so funny!"
The arrival of the fat man caused a great commotion.
Wang Dachun quickly stayed away from the fat man, acting like he didn't know him.
