Chapter 168: You pay me to bet
Thinking about these things all the way, half an hour later, Shi Yi parked the car on the side of the road outside the antique market. When he was about to take out his cell phone to notify Sister Wu, he found that Sister Wu had walked out of the market gate and was standing there looking around.
"Sister Wu, here!" He rolled down the window and put down his cell phone. Shi Yi poked his head out and waved to Sister Wu.
"Ha." Seeing Shi Yi sitting in the car, Sister Wu, whose forehead was covered with small beads of sweat, showed a smile on her face and raised her legs to walk towards Shi Yi.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" He came to a cafe that had just opened. After finding a corner to sit down, Sister Wu looked at Shi Yi with a smile and asked, "You can't tell in advance what's worthy of being so mysterious?"
"Sister Wu, do you know the price of jade at the best jade level?" After ordering two cups of coffee, Shi Yi pondered for a moment and asked.
"Best jade?" Sister Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shi Yi in surprise and said, "Best jade usually has an overall weight of more than 50 kilograms, pure and impurities-free, uncarved natural jade. This type of jade is extremely rare on the market. I remember that there was an auction in Humen, Guangdong last year. The protagonist was a piece of Hetian Baoyu raw stone weighing 57 kilograms. The starting price at that time was 2 million yuan, and it was finally sold by a Hong Kong merchant at a sky-high price of 7 million yuan! What do you ask about this?"
"Seven million?!" Hearing Sister Wu's words, Shi Yi was shocked, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb...
"Yes, it is said that the seven million is because the original owner of the jade was too anxious and was eager to take it off without doing a good job of publicity. Later, I heard that many people rushed over but were one step late. If the competitors were enough at that time, the price of this jade would have been raised to more than tens of millions!" Sister Wu did not notice Shi Yi's reaction and continued to explain.
"A thousand yuan!" Shi Yi took a deep breath and felt dizzy. It took him a while to calm down again. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked, "Is this the market price of the best jade?"
"Not necessarily." Sister Wu shook her head and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, gold has a priceless jade, and the best jade has no fixed price. If you have a keen eye to identify jade and select this piece of jade from a pile of jade, the price will naturally be very low without others' knowledge."
"But if it has been confirmed, then the price will be infinitely expanded, which may be one million, or five million, and maybe ten million, and no one can determine the price of a top-quality jade!"
"It's really deadly!" After hearing Sister Wu's introduction, Shi Yi suddenly had the urge to hit the wall. If the price was clearly marked, he could still estimate the funds he needed, but the price of jade with such a large fluctuation left him speechless.
"By the way, you haven't told me what it was like to call me here! You can tell me now, right?" Sister Wu picked up the coffee in front of her. Although she had guessed that it was related to the best treasure jade, she couldn't make a judgment without Shi Yi's confirmation.
"I need a lot of top-quality jade." Shi Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I need a lot!"
"A lot of top-quality jades!" Sister Wu was so shocked that she almost shouted out, trying her best to lower her voice, and said, "Do you think top-quality jades are the ordinary jades in my store?! I was lucky enough to see them for the last time, and you still want a lot of them?"
"No, no." Shi Yi's mouth slightly raised, with a little bitterness: "No, no!"
"You..." Sister Wu glared at Shi Yi fiercely and said angrily: "It's not necessary! One or two yuan, I can still think of a solution for you when there is plenty of funds, but if there is too much, I can't help either!"
"...Is there really no way?" Shi Yi touched his nose and asked unwillingly.
"No!" Sister Wu shook her head without thinking and cut off Shi Yi's last glimmer of luck. However, at the end, she added: "It is basically impossible to buy the best jade from a regular way. However, if you are able to be strong and have a large family property, I still have a way to go."
"Hmm?" Shi Yi, who was a little cold, suddenly became interested. He sat upright and looked at Sister Wu, saying, "Tell me!"
"It's just to go to the origin of jade." Sister Wu's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she slowly spit out two words: "Betting on jade!"
"Gambling on jade..." Shi Yi touched his nose, shrugged helplessly, and saying it was equivalent to not saying anything. If Shi Yi could tell the quality of the jade from a pile of jade, there would be no need to be such trouble. All the jade raw stones were the same in his eyes. Only after he fell into the mind and entered the state of cultivation could he determine the quality of the jade from the jade. Otherwise, he would have to stare at the raw stone and be powerless!
"I mean, you pay, I'll bet." Sister Wu seemed to have struggled, and finally took a deep breath and said, "You are responsible for your own profits and losses, but you must pay me a salary!"
"What?!" When Shi Yi heard Sister Wu's words, he couldn't make a turn for a while. I'll pay, are you going to bet?
"Our Wu family has been dealing with jade for generations." Sister Wu glanced at Shi Yi and bit her lip: "In my generation, my sister and I both have a natural sense of jade. Although it is not very accurate sometimes, if we judge it together, if we agree in the end, the chance of betting right will be more than 30%! Even if we are not the best jade, we will not lose money."
"With this ability, why don't you go by yourself?" Shi Yi blinked his eyes, a little strange.
"There are many reasons, the most important thing is..." Sister Wu took a deep breath: "Gambling jade can also be life-threatening. If there is no bodyguard accompanying you, once the original stone you bet is cut open, it will be confirmed that it is a precious jade or a top-quality jade, there will be many emergencies... For example, killing people and seizing jade!"
"Well." After hearing Sister Wu's words, Shi Yi understood what she wanted to express. After pondering for a while, he concluded: "What do you mean is that I am responsible for sending someone to protect the personal safety of your sisters and then paying you a salary. Will you bet on jade for me everywhere and find the best jade?"
"Yes." Sister Wu nodded slightly, agreeing with Shi Yi's summary.
"There is naturally no problem to protect your personal safety, and it is necessary to pay a salary." Shi Yi thought about it and raised his last question: "But, as far as I know, your jade shop should be able to make you a lot of money every year, that is, you are not short of money, so why do you still need..."
"Haha, gambling on jade is a self-challenge for me." Sister Wu smiled: "Just like you men gambling, gambling on jade is so attractive to me that I can't control myself. Every time I bet on jade, it can bring me a great sense of accomplishment. Moreover, the money I have earned over the years is enough for me to spend the rest of my life. If I don't take advantage of my youth to realize my ideals, I will have no chance when I get old!"
"More important!" Speaking of this, Sister Wu paused, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, and her tone became a little heavy: "Since eight years ago, my sister and I failed to gambling in Xinjiang and lost all the savings in the family, my sister seemed to have become a different person. Do you know? She is now the eldest sister of an underground casino! As a sister, I have to pull her out of this quagmire! For her and for this family!"
"The big sister of the underground casino." Shi Yi touched his nose and did not respond.
"I have said everything I should say. If you can guarantee my two conditions above, I can bring my sister to search for top-quality treasure jades all over the world, but you must be responsible for all the expenses!" Sadness is sadness, friendship is friendship, and Sister Wu is still very sober in the main business.
"Thirty percent chance..." Shi Yi touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Sister Wu also quietly drank tea, waiting for Shi Yi's decision.
