The scene of the Jade Raw Stone Auction is arranged like an indoor ecological park, with a huge exhibition hall of hundreds of square meters arranged with 600 or 700 pieces of jade raw stones of various sizes.
These raw jadeite stones are as large as wheels, while the smallest ones are only about the size of fists, and are divided into two categories in terms of quality. On the left side of the exhibition hall, which occupies almost three quarters of the entire hall, there are only over a hundred raw jadeite stones placed on some temporarily erected shelves, and they are extremely sparse. There are also some flower baskets and bonsais dotted between the original stones. On the right side of the exhibition hall, there is only a very narrow corner where a total of 5600 pieces of raw jadeite stones are placed. These raw jadeite stones are just stacked in a pile in the east and a pile in the west, and they are stacked in a disorderly manner. It seems that there is no difference between them and the newly excavated stones in the quarry in the mountain.
The original stones placed on the shelves all perform better on the outside, and have been wiped off their skins, opened skylights, and even cut with a knife. Most of them have already revealed a delightful green color. Of course... The green color mentioned here is not just the jadeite, but just the mottled colors mixed inside the stones. However, the hope that stones with this performance can produce jadeite has greatly increased, such as these... materials that belong to semi gambling.
In order to come and gamble on stones, Yang Hongtao has already accumulated some knowledge of gambling stones at home. He knows that jadeite raw stone merchants generally do not gamble on stones themselves. Most of them only buy jadeite raw stones from Myanmar and ship them back to the mainland. Then, they will convene major jewelry merchants or private gambling stone players to hold similar auctions and directly sell the stones. As for whether there is jade in this stone, people don't care. What they earn is a price difference.
However, generally experienced jadeite raw stone merchants will conduct a preliminary understanding of some better performing jadeite raw stones before auctioning them. The so-called initial solution is simply to scrape a little skin off a stone, open a skylight, or cut a thin knife into it.
"If the same piece of raw jadeite stone is sold completely and completely, the bottom price may be as high as 35 million yuan. However, if you scrape a piece of it on the surface and happen to find a green part inside the stone, the starting price of this raw stone may have to rise to at least 35 million yuan.".
This time up and down, but it's at least ten times worse! Even if this wipe really reveals the jadeite flesh inside, and the quality looks good... it's not impossible for the starting price of this raw stone to directly rise to $120 million.
Therefore, although jadeite raw stone merchants themselves do not gamble on stones, they often use this initial solution to maximize their own interests. Often, as long as a few pieces of good materials appear in the initial solution, the cost of the entire batch of raw stones may be earned back from these pieces of materials.
Of course... This initial solution also carries certain risks. After all, if you wipe out the green color, the base price of this raw stone will skyrocket, but if nothing is wiped out, it may also cause the value of this raw stone to plummet. Therefore, the initial solution of the original stone is a highly difficult task to test for experience and technology, and ordinary people cannot do it at all. Otherwise... wouldn't it be possible for you to be a cat and dog trader?
As soon as Yang Hongtao walked into the auction hall of jadeite raw stones, he immediately released a wisp of soul power and tried to penetrate into the jadeite raw stone placed at the front.
Thankfully, although there is not even a single hair inside this raw jade stone, Yang Hongtao has been relieved and his soul's power can indeed penetrate the raw jade stone. In this way, when he gambles on stones, he is absolutely sure to take ten out of ten and make a steady profit without losing!
Xin Yue knew that Yang Hongtao was in contact with gambling stones for the first time, so she accompanied Yang Hongtao and tirelessly explained to him some knowledge about gambling stones, as well as some rules and taboos in gambling stone business.
As for Zheng Jingren, he wanted to select some raw jadeite stones on behalf of Bairui, so naturally he didn't have the time to accompany Yang Hongtao at this time. He had already taken a step to look at the stones. You should know that this auction of raw jadeite stones only lasts for one afternoon, so it's a shame to be able to pick good raw stones.
This time, people from more than 50 jewelry companies across the country came to attend the jewelry exchange conference. After the exchange conference, almost all of these people came here without exception to see the original jadeite stone. In addition, some pure gambling stone enthusiasts also came to join in the excitement. So although the auction hall was not large, it was crowded with two or three hundred people.
When Yang Hongtao saw these two or three hundred people entering the auction hall, almost without exception, they all crowded to the place on the left half where there were more than one hundred and a half gambling raw stones. At least the entire gambling raw stone on the right side of the auction hall was not visited by anyone, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't these people go to see the entire gambling material?"
Xin Yue shook her head, Say: "Nowadays, jadeite raw stone merchants are very astute. After these raw stones have passed through their hands, almost every stone that may produce jadeite should have been removed for the first time, and there is almost no chance that the remaining raw materials that are fully gambled can produce jadeite. Do you think... if you buy 10000 pieces of raw stones, you may not be able to extract one piece of jadeite, how can you bet on it? Not to mention the problem of losing money?" "But just how much time and effort would it take to unlock these 10000 original stones?"! "So although full bet wool is much cheaper than half bet wool, few people will come to inquire."
"Yang Hongtao was puzzled and said, 'Since no one cares, why are they still putting these stones out?'"
"People from jewelry companies won't buy this kind of all-gambling wool that doesn't have the possibility of turning green, but those idle gambling enthusiasts will buy it..." Xin Yue explained: "After all, the price of half gambling on wool is exorbitantly high for ordinary people, and the money saved by ordinary wage earners during their lifetime is not enough to buy a fist or half gambling on wool. However, there are many people who dream of becoming rich overnight. Although they know that the possibility of making jade out of all gambling on wool is extremely small, some people will try to buy a few pieces and cut them open for a look, which is all considered to be buying lottery tickets. When the gambling rises, it is naturally possible to step into it in a flash "Even if you can't cut anything out of the ranks of the rich, you won't lose everything.". However, these gambling stone enthusiasts are also like enthusiasts, who are full of curiosity and desire for raw jadeite stones. Even if they cannot afford it, they must first satisfy their eyes or increase their experience with experts. Therefore, at the beginning of this auction, most of them will not immediately buy all gambling raw materials. It is estimated that when the half gambling raw materials on this side are almost sold, someone will pay to cut those all gambling raw materials and come to see them. However, with so many all bets on raw materials, today's auction is too short to sell for a few yuan. The remaining raw jadeite stone merchants either sell it to the next raw material merchant at the price of cabbage, or leave it for themselves to play with. "Anyway, as long as they sell more than half of the half bet raw materials, their batch of raw stones will definitely recover the cost, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining garbage can be cut into jadeite."
Upon hearing this, Yang Hongtao has almost understood the path. It seems that the possible jadeite production from this batch of raw stones is all concentrated on the one hundred or so pieces, and the remaining five or six hundred pieces are almost impossible to produce jadeite. Since this is the case, let's start with this 100 and a half yuan bet on wool. Anyway, no one watches the whole bet on wool. Even if there are stones with jadeite, they won't be afraid of being robbed by others.
