The smile on Gu Qingchen's lips deepened, a little touched by her cute little gestures.
"I sent you the money, and I want to take you somewhere else."
Looking at the newly accounted 30W, Chi Miao had a very good attitude. After all, customers are God.
"Do you need me to identify anything else?"
"How much does Miss Chi know about gambling stones?"
Gu Qingchen was sure that Chi Miao had the ability to tell the truth from lies at a glance, but he did not dig deeper and continued to dig deeper.
Everyone has a secret that they don't want to tell others. This secret is often linked to the bottom line. If you ask too much, it will bottom out. He doesn't want that.
Chi Miao was very satisfied with Gu Qingchen's measured progress and retreat. It was easy to deal with smart people, and everything was kept in silence, so that she wouldn't have to waste words.
"I only know a little bit about it. Dr. Gu can tell you more."
The meaning of gambling on stones lies entirely in the word gamble. People buy raw jadeite and use a stone-cutting machine to cut the stone. If they can cut out expensive jadeite, their profits will increase exponentially. If they cut out ordinary stones, they will lose every penny and go bankrupt.
Therefore, there is a saying in the world of stone gambling: one sword will make you poor, one sword will make you rich, one sword will cover you in sackcloth, and one sword will change you to a villa. Success or failure lies here, which is what stone players love and hate.
Gu Qingchen took Chi Miao to the place where the Gu family stored wool. Stones of different sizes were stacked together. Just from their dusty appearance, it was hard to believe that there was jade inside.
Chi Miao calmed down and searched carefully, but when he was less than halfway through, his temple felt like a needle pricking.
"What's wrong with you?"
In her current state, it was difficult for her to observe too many rough stones. She shook her head at Gu Qingchen who spoke with concern.
"Do you have to choose here?"
"There are many places on Jade Street where you can gamble on stones. We can also go out and have a look."
The warehouse is full of Gu family's assets, so it's not easy to kill someone you know. What if they pick a good one and their flesh hurts? It's better to go to Huo Huo and others.
Chi Miao followed Gu Qingchen to Jade Street. Many jade vendors were greeting Gu Qingchen, and the street was very lively with people coming and going.
"Open a window for me from here and see what's going on inside."
Someone happened to be unraveling the stone, and the two of them stood in the crowd and watched together. During this period, Gu Qingchen told her some useful information from time to time.
"Opening windows is one of the ways to break stone. In addition, you can also use a wheel to rub it or cut it directly with a cutting machine."
"For example, the wool he bought is yellow sand leather, which is easier to produce green. Let the master open the window to determine the approximate position of the jade. If the green is cut, it can be used as a raw material and sold to a jewelry dealer on the spot."
The middle-aged man who solved the stone was sweating profusely, feeling anxious and looking forward to it. As the people around him shouted, "It's green!" ’, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The master of stone removal washed away the gravel on the surface of the original stone with water, and everyone stretched their necks to see what kind of jadeite they had found.
"It's a waxy ice type that opens the window!"
Nuobing jadeite is one kind of jadeite. It is between the glutinous jadeite and ice jadeite. The price ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. Glass jadeite is better, hibiscus jadeite and bean jadeite are worse.
It's a pity that the quality is not as good as Bingzhong, otherwise it would be overpriced. But looking at the man's ecstatic expression, he knew his bet had gone up.
"I'll buy it for 80W!"
"80W is too low, I call it 100W!"
This piece of material is not small. If it is full of green inside, you will definitely make a lot of money. Even if it is half green, you can cut a bracelet and carve some small pendants. In short, you will not lose money.
For the first time, Chi Miao felt the huge profits from gambling on stones. In the blink of an eye, the price could be called one million, which was really heart-breaking.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm sorry, everyone, I want the master to finish unraveling this piece of material."
Everyone has a sense of luck, especially when it comes to gambling. They always expect to be the next millionaire.
Although the people who had just called out the price were regretful, they also expressed their understanding. They kept their breath and concentrated on watching the master unraveling the stone.
Chi Miao shook her head inaudibly and looked at the man with pity.
Only a miserable cry was heard!
The man slapped his head heavily with his palm, and slumped to the ground with weak steps.
Cut to pieces.
It cannot collapse any more.
God may have played a little joke on him. Except for a small patch of waxy ice green revealed by opening the window, the rest of the place was covered with ugly moss and cracks.
The asking price was one million just now, but now it's not even worth two thousand.
A heaven, a hell.
When the onlookers saw that the bet had collapsed, they dispersed quietly.
It's not that they are cold-blooded, but that this kind of drama happens every day on Jade Street. If someone bets on gains, others will bet on losses. Everyone has long been used to it.
"Let's go too."
Gu Qingchen took Chi Miao to a relatively large wool shop. The owner's surname was Zhou, and his small eyes shone with a shrewd philistine.
"How come Mr. Gu has time to come to our place to pick out raw materials?"
"Bring a friend to pay tuition."
Boss Zhou was amazed at Chi Miao's face, and immediately smiled when he heard Gu Qingchen's words.
I thought he was here to cause trouble, but it turned out he was here to keep a beautiful lady company.
"You two have chosen to come to my place for weighing."
Gu Qingchen and Boss Zhou were both in the same industry, so it was difficult for them to help. Chi Miao had previously said that she was a layman in stone gambling, so I brought her here to experience it, hoping to see if there would be any unexpected gains.
"Miss Chi, just take a look."
Boss Zhou’s factory has many rough stones.
Chi Miao squatted on the ground and picked and inspected carefully. In addition to the sky-high-priced rough stones that looked very good, she really found two good rough stones that were inconspicuous on the surface but contained something hidden inside.
One piece is as big as two palms, and the other is half as small.
Gu Qingchen's mouth twitched when he saw these two stones.
In the eyes of professionals, the appearance of both stones is extremely rotten.
The big piece is made of white sand, with cracks on the surface. Judging from the depth, it may have cracked to the middle. If you give it to someone else, the other party will have to hesitate for a long time whether to take it.
The small piece was even more amazing. He saw with his own eyes that Chi Miao dug out the stone from the pile of rubble in the corner. The pitted black sand skin looked like a foot rubbing stone.
"..."
Not that it would save him money like this.
Gu Qingchen couldn't help but remind him, "Don't you want to look at other rough stones again?"
"No, just these two pieces."
If Chi Miao knew Gu Qingchen's idea, she would definitely refute it. She didn't want to save him money, but the two rough stones she happened to like were weirdly shaped, so what could she do.
When Gu Qingchen carried two rough stones to weigh them, Boss Zhou was shocked.
He is too honest. He really doesn't help his friends at all?
If these two broken rocks can produce jade, he can just dip it in soy sauce and eat it!
"This... I'm embarrassed to accept the money."
"It's okay, as much as you need."
Chi Miao pouted in frustration. Is the rough stone she picked so disgusting?
"Normally it's 800 per kilogram. The big one is 2,500. The small one is for this lady."
Boss Zhou, who has always been evil-hearted, feels bad for Chi Miao. After this time, she probably never wants to gamble again.
Gu Qingchen quickly transferred the money. They did not use Boss Zhou's stone dissolving machine to dismantle the stone. They planned to go back to the factory to dismantle the stone.
The most important thing is that Gu Qingchen is worried that Chi Miao's self-esteem will be damaged.
Contrary to the worried Gu Qingchen, Chi Miao looked at the black sand leather grinding stone more and more curiously, and couldn't wait to take it out to see what was inside.
