The expected event finally came. Ziqing knew that her article would either explode in peace or perish in peace.
The result was obviously not peaceful. Two days after meeting Su Wentao, various newspapers and financial news began to report the fierce debate among economists about the article. Scholars from all walks of life rushed to express their opinions, praise or criticism. Some said it was nonsense, while others said it was thought-provoking and meaningful. In the end, even foreign newspapers began to reprint and discuss the article, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
Fortunately, except for a few people, no one knew who the author of the article was. Ziqing could imagine that if the outside world knew that the author of the article was her, a junior high school student, then her expected peaceful youth would be completely written off. The government obviously thought of this problem, so it blocked the news, but this did not affect the crazy discussions of scholars in various fields outside, and even reported the quarrels. Of course, they always use quotations from classics when they curse, and never use dirty words...
And Ai Ziqing, the origin of the incident, finally received a call from Ma Yuxi during the holiday when she was too idle. "I heard that K City has imported a batch of good goods and will hold a grand cultural program for gambling on jade. Are you interested?"
"Well, how are the things at hand?" Ziqing asked.
"We can leave at any time." Ma Yuxi replied.
"Okay, we will leave the day after tomorrow." Ziqing decided.
After hanging up the phone, Ziqing fell into deep thought. She understood that everything should be excessive. If she overuses her supernatural powers, it is likely to disrupt the original jade market, which will be a terrible thing. But if she encounters top-quality jade and does not "gamble", she will probably be suffocated to death.
Just ignore it! If you really encounter good goods, just take them. At worst, you can slowly put them on the market! After making up her mind, she felt relieved. Since returning from the winding mountain road, she has read a lot of books about jadeite and learned knowledge about it, so that she can gamble on jadeite in the future.
Ziqing is a lazy person. But there are more and more things to do recently, and school is about to start. In order not to comb her hair every day, she went directly to the barber shop at night and cut her hair into the slightly long short hair of the previous life. Although it makes people feel more ordinary, it makes people look more capable, and with a young face, she smiles a little playful.
=======================================================
Gambling on jade is a unique way of trading jade raw stones with a long cultural tradition. It attracts people from all over the jade industry to participate with its rich cultural background and legendary nature. It is said that this gambling on jade auction is a week-long "gambling on jade feast" held by the local city of K City and many jade companies, in order to provide a new platform for collectors and gambling on jade enthusiasts from all sides.
The gambling on jade feast was held in the K City Jade Culture Mall. In the mall exhibition hall, neat rows of stones sold by various jade companies were placed, with more than a thousand pieces. In front of each stone, there are information such as the production site, company, price, etc. of the jade. And one or two stone cutting employees are equipped at each booth. The exhibition has a series of services from selling raw stones to cutting, polishing, and carving objects.
Some large pieces of rough stones that look extremely good are even rubbed open with a window (referring to rubbing off a small piece of skin to reveal the jade) for open gambling. This gambling method tests the eyes and courage of buyers and sellers, because rough stones with jade in the window will be priced at hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions according to the volume and value of the rough stones. However, after the buyer can't resist the temptation to buy the rough stone, there may be a series of possible factors that may cause the gambling to fail because the whole rough stone only has a small piece of green exposed, commonly known as "green on the skin", or there are cracks inside, which destroys the value of the entire jade.
When Ziqing followed Ma Yuxi to K City, the gambling feast had been over for three days. It is said that a lot of low-grade jadeite was cut out during these three days, and even a 20-kilogram old pit ice-type full green jadeite was cut out. Everyone envied it.
At noon on the fourth day, Ziqing and Ma Yuxi appeared at the exhibition site, but did not attract any attention. It looked like a middle-aged man with a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Ziqing, like last time, did not bring any tools, while Ma Yuxi had everything he needed, such as a miniature flashlight and a magnifying glass. The two of them looked separately. Ziqing went straight to the large rough material. When she saw a one-ton orange-yellow rough material, her eyes lit up, because this color of old pit skin has a good chance of producing three-color Fu Lu Shou jadeite, which is also a treasure among jadeite, with green, red, and purple or green, yellow, and purple, which is extremely rare!
He went forward to check, but there were already seven or eight people around the rough material to check. One of the men frowned slightly when he saw Ziqing joining in, thinking that it was crowded enough, why did a child come to make a fuss, wouldn't it be a disturbance?
Ziqing ignored it, gently touched the rough stone with his fingers, and observed it carefully. Since he had the opportunity, he naturally had to summarize more experience. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and used perspective. The skin slowly faded in front of his eyes, and a grayish white appeared. Some of the stones were white stones, while others were grayish white.
He continued to perspective, and it was still grayish white. Because the stone weighed one ton, it was a bit of a waste of time. The man next to her saw the girl standing there staring at the stone without any tools in her hands, and then looked at the increasing number of people around her, and reminded her with some dissatisfaction, "Miss, if you don't want to buy it, don't look around. Isn't this delaying everyone's observation?"
At this time, Ziqing had also seen through it completely, and regretfully found that there was not a trace of green in the whole piece. Such a large piece of good material rarely has this situation. She shook her head with some regret, turned around and left without even looking at the man next to her. The man muttered in a low voice, "What a thing, don't adults discipline children nowadays?"
The first piece was a little disappointing, and I continued to look at it and found another piece of white. The third piece was an 18-kilogram white salt sand fur material, and I found a piece of light green jade in it, but unfortunately the water head did not look very full, and it was only half the size of a basketball. I looked at the price of the stone again, which was 700,000 yuan, shook my head slightly, turned around and looked, and left, and walked to the next one.
This is a piece of Wusha black fur material weighing nearly one ton, priced at 7 million, which is enough to make many people stay away. The rough material was not wiped out of the window. It was a piece of full gambling rough material. Ziqing walked over out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of rough material could be priced at seven million. Concentrating on looking inside, it was still a white piece. After about two or three centimeters, a bright purple suddenly came into view. Ziqing's eyes had been dazzled by the white that she had seen through before. Now seeing the bright color, she was so excited that she wanted to cry...
The bright purple jade, 100% water head, and delicate and transparent texture can be confirmed to be old pit glass. Unlike the more common purples such as pink purple and blue purple introduced in the book, it is an absolutely rare rich deep purple. The mysterious color and crystal clear full texture made Ziqing's heart tighten instantly!
In addition, purple jade is generally of poor texture. It is simply unimaginable to encounter such a glass type with basically no particles or impurities. Ziqing took a deep breath and calculated that if the stone was broken open, two-thirds of it would be jadeite. It was estimated that she could make back her investment by making two sets of jewelry. She immediately decided to buy it.
Because when entering the venue, buyers who are interested in gambling on stones can deposit their money into the venue for convenience. The venue also issues buyers corresponding gift cards. No matter how much they use, the rest can be exchanged for cash on the way back. Ma Yuxi, who has this kind of experience, has of course done it. For the sake of safety, he brought all the 12 million that had not been used to the conference. After all, he used to attend such occasions and knew that this amount of money was sometimes not enough.
Ziqing hurriedly pulled Ma Yuxi over and asked him to handle the stone, but Ma Yuxi was not optimistic after a rough observation and persuaded Ziqing to give up.
This made Ziqing a little helpless. "Old Ma, can you trust me once? This stone gives me a great feeling, and my feeling is always very accurate! And I have been studying gambling stone information for some time." After speaking, he looked directly into Ma Yuxi's eyes, letting him see his persistence.
Seeing Ziqing's insistence, Ma Yuxi had no choice but to become a little discouraged. She began to worry about the company's capital turnover problem in the next step. She still had 4 million yuan, so she could suffer a little. Otherwise, she would never understand the difficulties of this business.
The man who saw this scene before, stepped forward to check the rough material, and couldn't help shaking his head and sneering, "Now you kids don't know the hard work of making money, and you still think it's a game? I think the possibility of this stone turning green is not high." It was obvious that Ziqing was regarded as a little girl who relied on some money from her family to do whatever she wanted.
"Don't worry about whether it's high or not." Without waiting for Ma Yuxi to speak, Ziqing replied lightly, meaning that you are a little too concerned. The man's face turned green and red, and he was a little angry and said, "Don't know what's good for you!" Turned to the other side.
Before Ma Yuxi paid, Ziqing found two pieces of top-quality jadeite, one with ice-type floating blue and one with glass-type apple green, and two white stones of low price, and prepared to take them away. The rest were also some low-quality goods, and Ziqing felt that it was unnecessary to take them away. Besides, if too many were cut out, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Ma Yuxi just gritted her teeth and went to handle the formalities.
