Zhou Ming's words made Lin Muqing stunned: "Don't move the money in Fenghui Bank, are you planning to take out all the money in the stock market?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and said no, which made the second monk Lin Muqing confused. "Then where did you get the money to buy clothes for me? Is it possible that you can still make money out of thin air like Monkey King?"
Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Sister Mu Qing, of course I am not Monkey King, and I will not do like him. Seventy-two changed spells, but I have a way to increase the thousands of dollars in our hands by at least ten times.
"Are you kidding me?" Lin Muqing said in surprise, "How can you How about raising the money for no reason?"
"Sister Mu Qing, let me ask you what's your date today?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Today is August 8th, June 14th of the lunar calendar. What's wrong?" Lin Muqing said strangely. Lin Muqing didn't understand that she was asking him how to raise the money. Why did he ask what day it was today? What does it matter? Is it possible that he looked at the almanac when he went out and knew that if he went out today, he would be able to pick up a lot of money?
Zhou Ming was about to say something, and the waiter came over: "You two, are you planning to buy clothes? Are you from the Mainland?" The waiter spoke with contempt and impatience, but Zhou Ming didn't care about it: "Help I wrapped up the two clothes just now, I went out to pick up the money, and I paid to buy it when I came back."
After that, Zhou Ming ignored the waiter's response and pulled Lin Muqing out of the mall. Lin Muqing was very cooperative.
Without saying a word, after leaving the mall, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Ming: "Are you really planning to pick up money?" "Of course not, have you heard of gambling on rocks?" Zhou Ming asked, Lin Muqing's expression of surprise was obviously wrong. I don't know, Zhou Ming went on to explain to her, "Betting on stones is actually buying raw materials for jadeite. Since the unprocessed jadeite is covered with a layer of weathered skin, the appearance looks like ordinary stones. There is no way to know. There is no jade in it, so you can only bet on it, so it's called gambling on stone."
Lin Muqing thought for a while and said: "Is the price of jadeite rough relatively low? Once you bet on the right, you will be very profitable, but if you make a wrong bet, you will lose everything?"
"Sister Muqing is really smart. This is a gambling on stones. Zhou Ming said, "Tsim Sha Tsui is where the largest jade market in Hong Kong City is located, and here is a free port with no tariffs, so I think there must be stone betting here."
Lin Muqing didn't know what to say at this time, she didn't. Thinking that Zhou Ming's brain was really hot, she actually had this plan, she asked: "Do you know how to bet on rocks?"
"When I was a child, a rural old man taught me a little bit. I still remember that maybe it would come in handy."
Zhou After Ming finished speaking, he couldn't help but pulled Lin Muqing towards the jade shop on Canton Road nearby.
Of course, Zhou Ming's gambling on stone was not because of a momentary fever and feeling that his luck was overwhelming, but he suddenly remembered something. He was reading a biography of a Hong Kong jewellery tycoon in his previous life. The jewellery tycoon said His first pot of gold was obtained by gambling on stones in a jade shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. The time was on August 8 of the Gregorian calendar, which is today. This is why Zhou Ming asked Lin Muqing what month it was today.
According to the memory in his mind, Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing to find the jade shop in the biography. This is a big jade shop. It seems that it should be owned by a certain consortium in Hong Kong, and its reputation is guaranteed. A sign hung at the entrance of the shop stating that the jade shop recently shipped a batch of jadeite wool from Myanmar, and it is about to hold a stone gambling conference in the shop.
Everything is exactly the same as the description in the biography. Zhou Ming led Lin Muqing to lead the number plate at the door and followed the waiter to the stone gambling conference.
In fact, it is a stone gambling conference, but the format is similar to that of a roadside stall. The jade shop puts jade raw materials on various booths, and all the people who participate in the stone gambling are like buying vegetables in a vegetable market.
In Zhou Ming's memory, this stone gambling conference did produce a lot of good products. However, even if the jade is made of wool, it costs at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. The money in his hand is not enough. Therefore, Zhou Ming's purpose is only one.
Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing and directly found booth No. 18. There was a piece of jade wool the size of a winter melon on it. A staff member of the jade shop was introducing: "This is a piece from the Burmese White Wall Factory. Everyone knows that Baibi Factory is the earliest mine in Myanmar. It has a history of two to three hundred years. The jade produced inside is also of the highest quality. This piece of jade is definitely a good product. Songhua, an experienced person would know at a glance, this is the performance of including jade."
"Then you mean that there must be jade in this wool?" a middle-aged man asked.
"I haven't said that before," the staff member said. "This boss, since gambling on stones is called gambling, it means that no one can guarantee whether jade can be produced in the stone, but there is no guarantee. Profits are high, don't you think?"
The middle-aged man stopped talking. As a veteran stone gambler, he certainly understands that even the most experienced jade expert in stone gamblers can't be sure whether jade can be produced from it. Gamble.
"Your woolen skin is yellow and gray. This layer looks like the old pit of Baibi Factory, but the overall performance is too bad. You see there are many cracks on it." Another bald uncle said.
After his reminder, everyone suddenly discovered that there were many cracks in the wool, and even the one on the back went deep into the stone. This discovery made many people stand up on tiptoe desperately to see if there is jade inside through that crack, but it is very It's a pity that the crack is not big, and you can't see it at all.
Seeing the performance of these people, Zhou Ming smiled in his heart, because it would be useless to show them the inside of the crack, because the crack is in the middle of the stone, and according to the biography, the position of jade should be On the right side without pine flowers.
"Brother, your stone is a bit too difficult, with so many cracks, but every crack can't see the green, this risk is too great." Another young gambler yelled.
The staff still didn't panic: "It's because you can't see it, so you need to bet. If you can see the jade through the cracks, what else is there to bet? Just mark the price clearly, do you think so? ?"
"Then how much does your wool cost?" someone asked.
The staff turned the sign that had been placed in front of the wool. The price was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. This price caused an uproar. It seems that the jade shop also understands that the fineness of the wool is not very good, and there are so many cracks on it, but these cracks. There is still no jade in it, so in order for someone to buy it, the price is set a little lower.
Seeing this price, Lin Muqing took a breath of air, and she asked Zhou Ming incredulously: "
Sister Mu Qing, this is not a broken stone, it is from a jade mine. The mined jade ore was just not cut. I don't know if there is jade in it and how big a piece of jade is. That's why I set this price. Otherwise, if it's such a big piece of jade, it would cost more than 20,000 yuan, at least. Two or three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars." Zhou Ming explained to Lin Muqing.
"Was it really just a broken stone?" Lin Muqing asked again.
"That's equivalent to buying a broken stone for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. If every piece of raw material can produce good jade, then it is not a gambling stone, because you don't know what is in the stone. Unknownness makes people crazy, and the ups and downs are more stimulating than stocks." Zhou Ming said, "Otherwise you can look at the eyes of these people next to you."
Lin Muqing was a talented person after hearing Zhou Ming's words. It was discovered that the eyes of the gamblers around were staring at the broken stone, as if it was not a stone, but a piece of gold.
At this time, the staff spoke again: "Bosses, according to the rules of our jade shop, 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is only the base price. Bosses, you can quote at will. In the end, whoever quotes the higher price will go to the wool."
Zhou Ming secretly smiled. , It seems that this jade shop can really make money, and even this wool material has developed a bidding procedure. Put a reserve price here and let the gamblers shout up, so that the jade shop will not lose money, maybe Can also make a fortune.
When Zhou Ming was thinking about it, there were already people bidding on the spot. After all, everyone came to bet on stone, and this piece of wool was also from the best white wall factory in Myanmar's eight old factories. It is worth the gambling, maybe luck. If you are better, you can earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and everyone is an experienced gambler. Looking at the pine flowers on the wool, you won't lose money even if it doesn't work?
Under such thoughts, the price of this piece of wool was quickly called 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Looking at the fanatical expressions of the gamblers around, Lin Muqing said to Zhou Ming: "Are these people crazy? The price of this stone has increased by one and a half times."
"This is a gambler! They all hope to be able to ." I bought this stone and hoped that a large piece of jade would come out of this stone. Even if it didn't produce a whole piece of jade, he could earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars if half of the jade was produced." Zhou Ming explained, "but look at this stone. There are so many cracks and no jade can be seen in these cracks. Even a gambler will not pay too high a price. 50,000 Hong Kong dollars should be at the top."
As expected , Zhou Ming's words were only finished. It calmed down all of a sudden. Faced with the high price of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, they were reluctant to pay more, because they didn't think the stone was worth more money, so no matter what the staff said, no one shouted again. Up.
At this time, Lin Muqing turned her head and asked Zhou Ming: "Then you plan to bid?"
Zhou Ming shook her head and smiled: "Sister Mu Qing, we only have 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. I just want to bid, but I have no chance!"
Lin Muqing grew out of this. With a sigh of relief, fortunately Zhou Ming has not changed like those gamblers, or she really doesn't know what to do.
It's just that Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming's confident smile and was still a little unsure. At this time, she didn't know that she was about to witness a miracle in the world of stone gambling.
