Chapter 10 : crazy stone
The two of them circled around the table. Xu Qing suddenly felt an itch on his right eyelid. He subconsciously wiped it with the back of his hand. When he turned his gaze to the bronze goblet again, he saw a faint green gas in the mouth of the goblet. At first glance, it looked like a thin thread wrapped around the surface of the goblet.
Then, something even more surprising happened. That wisp of green Qi actually floated up and shot towards Xu Qing's right eye.
"Aiya!"
Xu Qing cried out and took two steps back. He covered his right eye. He could clearly feel a chill in his eyes. Even his eyeballs felt cold. His entire body trembled.
" Brother, what's wrong…" Young Master Tang was also shocked and quickly ran forward to ask.
Xu Qing opened his palm and opened his eyes wide." Help me take a look at my right eye…" Young Master Tang opened his eyes wide too. After a while, he shook his head and said," It seems to be a double eyelid. It's a little bigger than mine…"
Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry." I'll let you see if there's anything in my eyes. It's none of my business."
"Uh!"Young Master Tang stared blankly at Xu Qing's right eye for a long time. He was almost cross-eyed. In the end, he shook his head.
"It's okay."Xu Qing also felt the coldness in his right eye disappear. He rubbed his eyelids hard and looked at the Bronze Jue on the table again. However, he was surprised to find that the green aura attached to the mouth of the Jue had disappeared.
Strange, could it be an illusion?Xu Qing thought to himself, but he still had no clue. Everyone who was inspecting the weapon was stunned by this interruption. Then, they focused their attention on the Bronze Jue. The bidding continued one after another. In a short while, the price of this item was raised to 500,000.
In the end, the Bronze Jue was auctioned off by a wealthy middle-aged man for 620,000 yuan. Xiao Gongyi took out the items in the wooden boxes one by one and auctioned them off. In less than two hours, the items in the two wooden boxes were auctioned off, leaving only an oversized wooden box.
Xiao Gongtong took off his gloves, cleared his throat and said," Everyone, we've finished shooting all the man-made old items. We've also arranged a small entertainment for everyone. It's pure nature and pollution-free. It's exciting and powerful. It's a legend that millions of people get rich overnight. I can say shamelessly that if everyone is lucky, you can buy something more expensive than Song Ci's plum blossom bowl for a thousand dollars."
The emotional words once again aroused everyone's interest in the hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the oversized wooden box without exception, guessing what exactly was inside it. A thousand dollars for ten million, this was a little too ridiculous.
Xiao Gongping smiled and clapped his hands, making two crisp sounds. The door opened again, and four security guards carried two items that looked like cutting machines to the center of the hall. They quickly connected the power supply.
" Good fellow, even the stone disintegrator has been brought here. This big box must be filled with raw materials!"Old Man Zhuang could tell at a glance. As the head of a famous jewelry store in the country, he had an indescribable sense of familiarity with this thing.
" Even an idiot knows that betting ten million with a thousand dollars is a gambling business. To think that you've spent half your life playing with jewelry. I'm afraid you've played with dogs."Old Man Sun, who was also a big shot in the jewelry store, immediately scolded Old Man Zhuang when he saw his smug expression.
"Haha!It's better than playing cat."Old Man Zhuang laughed loudly and pointed his needle back at Mai Mang.
" Hahaha…" Everyone burst out laughing. There was another meaning behind this man playing with cats. Everyone present was a successful person in society. There was no reason they didn't understand. It was interesting to hear these two old men arguing.
Old Man Sun was choked speechless, and his face flushed red with anger.
Xiao Gongping was still smiling on the stage. He clapped his hands again. Pa pa…Everyone's attention was attracted again. The four security guards seemed to have received some kind of signal. They opened the large wooden box and moved stones of different sizes onto the stage. There were a total of twenty stones. The big ones were as big as basketball, and the small ones were as big as two eggs. The stage was filled with stones.
Old Man Sun frowned when he saw the stones on the table. He said unhappily," All of them are dull goods with no windows open. Are you kidding us?"
In the stone gambling industry, the jadeite mines were called 'pits' and the stones mined were called 'materials' and 'goods'. It should be known that there was no one in the world who could see through the inside of the stone. Therefore, no one could determine whether a piece of material mined from the mine contained jadeite, and it was even more difficult to determine the grade.
It was precisely because of this that there was the existence of the profession of 'gambling stone'.There was also a way to cut stones. Anything that had been cut through a knife was collectively called a window. This kind of raw material had the meaning of looking at a beauty through a bead curtain. Experts who were proficient in this way could often judge whether jade could be produced from the performance of the window. The risk of this kind of material that had been cut through the window was relatively small, so it was called semi-gambling material or semi-bright goods.
For example, there were no traces of windows on these stones on the table. They were like stubborn stones that were randomly moved down from the mountain. They were called all-gambling raw stones or dead-headed goods. It was more or less a blind guess of luck. The only guarantee was that these stones came from the jade mine. As for whether there was jade in them, they had to bet.
As the saying goes, a knife poor, a knife rich, a knife heaven, a knife hell, this is the most true portrayal of the gambling stone industry, some people get rich overnight, some people go bankrupt, the charm of gambling stone is to play a gambling word to the fullest.
Xiao Gongtong smiled and patted a stone casually with his palm. He said in his rhythmic voice," Everyone, I've already said that this is a side show. However, there is one thing that can be guaranteed. All the materials on the stage are from Myanmar jade pits. The prices range from 500 to 50,000 yuan. As long as you bet a little bit of jade, you will definitely make a profit."
After saying that, Xiao Gongzheng still showed a green jade ring on his finger and pretended to be sad." This fingernail thing cost me millions!"
Old Man Sun was not happy when he said that. He shouted at the top of his voice," Surnamed Xiao, you bought this ring noodle five years ago from that silly kid of mine. I remember it was only a million yuan at that time. What's wrong? Do you regret it?"How about I buy it back immediately with two million?"
Xiao Gongtong smiled slightly. He had indeed bought this glass seed ring from Boss Sun's son. He remembered that he had even built a snuff bottle from the Xianfeng years. It took him a long time to buy it for a little over a million yuan. If the current market price of this ring was at least three times higher, this old man would have to buy it for two million yuan unless his head was caught in the door.
However, if he could make the old man speak, he had already achieved his goal. He quickly took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey.
"Elder Sun is an evergreen senior in the jewelry and jade world. He can be said to be an authority in the stone gambling industry. Now, I invite Elder Sun to come up and check if these materials are from Myanmar. Today, everyone is my breadwinner. If you come up with some scams, it will be very bad."
Xiao Gongzheng immediately praised Old Sun and invited him to the stage. The old man enjoyed his flattery as well. He stroked his goatee and looked down at the raw materials on the stage.
After a while, Old Man Sun raised his head in satisfaction and said slowly," That's right. It's indeed a raw material from Myanmar. If there's any jade that's willing to sell later, my Sun family's jewelry will be sold on the spot."
After saying that, he took out two bills from his handbag and slapped them on a stone with a price tag of 20,000." Help me untie this raw material. Consider it an old man's first bet."
Xiao Gongping smiled as he put away the two bills. He gave a glance to the statue-like security guard at the side. The security guard immediately picked up the head-sized stone and skillfully fixed it on the stone machine. He squatted down and remained still as if he was waiting for something.
"Elder Sun, may I ask how to cut the raw material you bought?"
