[Chapter 233 This Luck Is Really Bad]
After looking around, Yang Yiyun casually asked the guide Ruan Hua: “Miss Ruan, I heard that your trading market has recently received a batch of special rough stones. I wonder where they are?”
“Sir, the batch of special rough stones has not been opened yet. It will probably start trading this afternoon. You can take a look then.”
“Do you know what kind of rough stone it is?” Yang Yiyun asked her.
“I don’t know about this~” Ruan Hua shook her head.
Yang Yiyun thought that she was just a service staff and could not get in touch with the core, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
Then she started to look at the rough stones. Since she came here, she had to play even if she was a spendthrift. Although
it was her first contact, she had the Qingque team around her, so it was not a blind purchase.
According to the experienced leader of the team, there are many ways to identify rough stones. In
the words of the leader before, a rough stone without a window, that is, without cutting, except for the shape and weight of the appearance, no one can tell what is inside, whether there is jade, and only by cutting it can the real conclusion be known.
People who gamble on stones rely on experience. Based on the performance of the rough stone skin, they repeatedly make guesses and deliberations, which is full of uncertainty, so they gamble.
After the raw stone is cut, if a watery green color appears, it is called a rise, otherwise it is a fall.
Gambling on stones is gambling on financial strength, wisdom and courage, or simply gambling on luck.
Anyway, Yang Yiyu has Qingque and her team together, so he is not a rookie. He has a bank card with 6 billion yuan in his hand, which he thinks is enough for him to play.
The real purpose is not to transfer money, but to spend money to attract the attention of the Duanmu family, and then contact the Duanmu family to investigate his mother’s affairs. This is the real purpose.
Of course, it is better to make money.
Walking to an area, Yang Yiyu saw a piece of raw stone the size of a watermelon and was ready to try his luck. He released his spiritual consciousness to observe the stone. It may be due to the density of the raw stone, and he could not observe anything special in his spiritual consciousness.
Seeing that the price was written as 100,000, he grinned and said, “100,000 is not very expensive. I want this rough stone. Help me find someone to cut it.”
After saying that, Qingque chuckled and said, “Handsome guy, 100,000 is not Jiuzhou currency, but US dollars. The prices here are traded in US dollars. Don’t get confused. If a price of 100 million appears, it will be embarrassing if you think it is Jiuzhou currency.”
“Uh~” Yang Yiyu was shocked. 100,000 US dollars is more than 600,000 Jiuzhou currency. This rough stone is only a little bit bigger than a watermelon, but it is so expensive.
However, since he was just practicing, he didn’t care.
The leader at the side said, “Sir, according to my experience, the probability of this rough stone producing green is very small. There are two types of jadeite rough stones, mountain material and baby material.
Mountain material is mined directly from the jadeite mine, has no outer skin, irregular shape, many edges and cracks, rough and loose structure, not very good quality, not a gambling stone.
Baby material, that is, jadeite gravel, is formed when the jadeite rock rolls down the hillside after weathering and breaking, and is carried into the ditch or stream by floods or rivers. During the rolling and transportation process, the edges and corners of the jadeite ore fragments are rounded, and the original cracked or loose parts are worn away or collapsed.
At the same time, the surface is weathered into a layer of varying thickness. Skin, so that the jadeite fragments become gravels of approximately round or oval shape wrapped by the outer skin.
In the jadeite raw material trading market, most of them are young materials, that is, jadeite gravels. Because the surface of the gravel is covered by a layer of weathered skin, the internal situation cannot be seen. People can only infer the quality of the jadeite inside the gambling stone based on the characteristics of the skin and the “doors” opened locally and their own experience.
But this piece of raw stone is too smooth, without any intersection gaps. It looks like neither seed material nor mountain material. There is a little edge, so I feel that there is little chance of getting green. How about changing a piece to try? “
As the raw stone identification master in the team, the leader gave his opinion.
But Yang Yiyun was trying his luck. Anyway, no one dared to guarantee what would be inside. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t change it, just this one. I’ll try my luck. Miss Ruan will cut it.”
“Okay, sir, what level of cutting master do you need?” Ruan Hua asked.
“There are levels of cutting masters?” Yang Yiyun asked in confusion.
“Yes, sir. Our cutting masters are divided into three levels, starting from junior cutting masters, to intermediate, and then to the highest level. The higher the level of the cutting master, the better the skills, and the less damage to the raw stone.
The service fee for the junior cutting master is 100,000, the intermediate is 1 million, and the advanced is 10 million, of course in US dollars. What level of cutting master do you need?” Ruan Hua said and waited for Yang Yiyun’s reply.
“Hiss~ You are too black, this is charged, and the advanced one is 10 million US dollars?” Yang Yiyun was shocked.
Ruan Hua still smiled and replied respectfully: “Sir, the cutting of raw stones is the most important part of the whole gambling stone. If the cutting technology is not up to standard, it will greatly damage the green in the raw stone. At that time, it will not be this little fee…”
After listening to Ruan Hua’s explanation, although Yang Yiyun still felt a little unfair, he did not embarrass her. People said it was the rule.
“Okay, arrange an intermediate cutting master for me.” After all, Yang Yiyun chose the intermediate level, thinking that since he had to spend a lot of money, he didn’t care about this little money.
Qingque said on the side: “In fact, it is enough to use a junior cutter. The cutting skills here are world-famous, and many people use junior cutters.”
“Let’s use an intermediate one. I’ve already said it.” Yang Yiyun grinned
. You get what you pay for. It’s better to have an intermediate one to rest assured. “Hehe, Cheng, you are the sponsor, you have the final say, and we are just some suggestions.” Qingque said with a chuckle.
Less than three minutes later, after Ruan Hua made the call, a middle-aged cutter arrived. Ruan Hua specially found a southern Chinese who could speak Mandarin.
After a brief introduction, Yang Yiyun was a little impatient to let the cutter cut the rough stone.
The first time he cut carefully, Yang Yiyun found that the leader around him was more nervous than him.
But in the end, there was no green.
After three cuts, it turned out to be a hollow stone.
One hundred thousand US dollars wasted.
This is gambling on stones. Three cuts and one hundred thousand US dollars were gone.
Yang Yiyun felt a little bit upset, but fortunately he was a nouveau riche, and compared with the money in his pocket, it was nothing.
Stubbornly, he spent another million US dollars to buy three rough stones and asked the cutter to continue cutting.
Two rough stones were hollow.
The third rough stone finally showed green, but it was the most common bean-type.
Bean-type is a very vivid name. We know that jade is a polycrystalline. If the crystals that make up jade are coarse, such as larger than one millimeter, they will be easily seen by the naked eye. Most of the coarse jade crystals are short columnar. When the boundaries of these short columnar crystals are very clear, they look like green beans, so they are called bean-type.
And it was not big, just a little bigger than a walnut. The leader said beside him, “The market value is not high, at most 3,000 Jiuzhou coins, but it’s better than nothing. Sir, you finally opened the business.”
Yang Yiyun knew that he was comforting himself. At this time, he was really a little disappointed. He spent more than one million US dollars, and he only got a bean-type inferior product worth 3,000 Jiuzhou coins. He
tried his luck with a million US dollars, but this luck was really bad. Four raw stones only produced a walnut-sized piece, and it was still a jadeite of low quality. Yang Yiyun would be lying if he said he was not depressed.
Perhaps seeing that Yang Yiyun was a little disappointed, the leader said again, “Sir, I suggest that we go to the skylight area to have a look. Relatively speaking, the original jade with a skylight is expensive, but the probability of producing green is high.” “
What is a skylight?” Yang Yiyun said to him.
“It is the original stone whose surface was damaged when mining. You can see the transparent color and veins inside the original stone to increase the judgment of gambling on the stone. Of course, some of them are deliberately opened in the trading market, but the price is indeed doubled, but the probability of getting green is indeed high.
Many people who gamble on stones start with the original stone of the founding skylight. Why don’t you go and have a look?” The leader asked.
Yang Yiyu felt that he was right, and after paying the tuition, he should also listen to the advice of the Qingque team, so he nodded and said: “Okay, let’s go and buy the founding skylight.”
Several people came to the original area where the skylight was opened. Yang Yiyu found that it was really as the leader said. The surface of the original stone here had skins that were knocked off by external forces. You can see the color and veins of the original stone inside, and some can even see a little bit of green exposed outside.
But the price is very expensive. I took a look at the smallest original stone around me, and it was also priced at 200,000 US dollars.
