Chapter 272 Crazy Stone Gambling
Everything cannot be as simple as everyone thinks.
A large part of Wu Lingbiao's jade mine was indeed in Ruijiang's hand. Long Liexue originally wanted to grab this line and open a breakthrough, but after understanding the actual situation, he realized that he had thought things a little simple.
Long Liexue stayed in Ruijiang for seven days. During these seven days, Long Liexue continued to pay attention to the information about Wu Lingbiao in order to discover something that could be used, there was no progress in other things for a while. He was waiting for an opportunity and waiting for someone!
It is impossible for a strange face to get into something in a strange place. If it weren't for Sun Ruigao, to be honest, even if Long Liexue had the ability in a few days, he would have to walk around this border town like those tourists.
The day after I got here, when I got up, Sun Ruigao threw away his local "outfit" to Long Liexue, "If you change this, it will be more convenient for you to go outside, otherwise, like you, you will be an outsider at first glance, and you will have a few more pairs of eyes staring at you wherever you go."
Long Liexue changed his outfit—collarless cotton shorts, large flower shorts, leather sandals, Sun Ruigao turned around Long Liexue twice and nodded, "If you can tan a little more, that would be even better!"
Sun Ruigao said that in the next five days, when he took Long Lie Blood to turn the places around Ruijiang twice, the Long Lie Blood, which had no cover, was indeed tanned for a long time. Ruijiang's location in the subtropical location determined that the sun above this place was destined not to be as gentle as the provincial capital.
In front of outsiders, Long Liexu's current identity has become a distant nephew of Sun Ruigao.
When meeting an acquaintance, Sun Ruigao introduced Long Liexu to others like this.
Long Lie Blood's ability to "transform" surprised Sun Ruigao.
If you want to talk about Ruijiang, who has the most poisonous eyes, they are undoubtedly those teenage children from Vietnam, Pakistan and India. On the streets of Ruijiang, they stare at the people walking inside and outside in Ruijiang City every day, selling small handicrafts or some jade and jade to those who have just arrived here. Seeing foreign faces, especially those who come to travel, the children rushed over and bargained with others in half-baked Chinese. No one can tell at a glance who is the "newcomer" in this city than them.
The day after Long Liexue came here, he was walking with Sun Ruigao on the bustling streets of Di Ruijiang. Occasionally, he would meet a few vicious little guys coming to sell him "the best jade bracelets produced in Tadian" or the "Indian treasure swords" inlaid with various gems and exquisitely crafted.
Of course, if you believe them and really buy those things, maybe you think you can buy a pair of "highest jade bracelets" for 2,000 yuan. While you were wandering around the city, you suddenly found that a pair of 20 yuan of C-grade jade bracelets in a small stall in the city looked more and more like the pair you bought...
When Long Liexue first came here, someone would sell him things, but just five days later, when he and Sun Ruigao were holding a piece of sugarcane in their hands while chewing them while leisurely walking through the busiest streets of Ruijiang, the vendors all over the street "automatically filtered" him - no locals would buy their things.
Sun Ruigao had to sigh to Long Liexue. "I originally thought that it would take you a month to integrate yourself into this place at the earliest, but I didn't expect that you would only stay here for a few days. But it felt like you had been here for several years."
Long Liexue smiled and said nothing. In fact, any kind of creature is born with an instinct to integrate into the surrounding bad realms in order to protect themselves, because all bad realms have the characteristics of rejecting "heretics". This instinct also exists in people, but for people, the bad realms he has to face in addition to the natural bad realms. There are more complex social bad realms. Most people may not be able to detect their instincts, but through the training of the special pearl, some people can exert their instincts ten times and twenty times, and while integrating into the surrounding bad realms, they can improve their survival ability.
In addition to being a "tour guide" of Long Liexue these days, Sun Ruigao also has many things himself. He is not always mixed with Long Liexue. On the seventh night, Sun Ruigao came back a little late. When he saw Long Liexue, Sun Ruigao told Long Liexue, "The news I just got is that that person will appear in Ruijiang tomorrow."
After waiting in Ruijiang for seven days, the person Long Liexue was finally here.
At around 10 o'clock the next morning, Sun Ruigao and Long Liexu appeared at the jewelry trading market in the south of Ruijiang City. At this time of day, it was already bustling here.
The jewelry trading market covers a large area, a bit like a small town. On both sides of the streets, most of them are one-story bungalows, and only a few houses are built on two or three floors. This place that looks inconspicuous on the outside is full of more than 800 jewelry stores and more than 300 jewelry and jade processing factories of all sizes. The relevant employees have reached more than 20,000, accounting for almost one-fifth of the population of this border town. When you come here every day, merchants from all over the country and tourists from all over the country who speak various accents are as continuous as the water in Ruilijiang.
"This is the most important jewelry and jade distribution center in the entire Southeast Asia!" Sun Ruigao introduced to Long Liexue that Fuhua Trading also has a jewelry shop for concealment here, and the name is Fuhua Jewelry.
There are shops on both sides of the streets of the jewelry market. There are some sporadic but dense banyan trees on the street. Usually the branches and leaves of a banyan tree can cover a small section of the street tightly. Some local women set up small stools to sit around the banyan tree and set up a stall. Although the stall is a bit simple, the things on the floor are not simple. Jade, jade, red sapphire, crystal, spinel, moonstone, peridot, tourmaline, cat's eyes, pearls, agate, amber, ivory, etc., as well as some carvings made of jade, pendants, bracelets, jade pendants, rings, earrings, drinking utensils, pipes, chess pieces, etc., are all kinds of.
After walking through several lively streets, Sun Ruigao took Long Liexue to a yard located in a somewhat secluded alley. There were several people standing outside the yard. One of them saw Sun Ruigao coming and greeted Sun Ruigao, "Isn't this Boss Sun? Why? I burned incense in the temple yesterday. Today I received the news that I would come here to try my luck? There are a lot of goods here all day."
The man said, but his eyes were circling on Long Liexu's face.
Sun Rui bounced his thumb and flew towards the evil person. The thing was still in the air. Someone caught the thing with a quick hand and put it in his hand to see it. It was a piece of green jade ring face that had been polished as the size of a fingernail.
"This is my nephew, today I will bring him to open my eyes!"
Who put the jade ring face in his pocket and smiled, "Since it's Boss Sun's nephew, it doesn't matter where to go in!"
In this way, Sun Ruigao put Long Liexue in the yard and entered the yard. Sun Ruigao said to Long Liexue in a soft voice, "There are many people in the jade industry. They are both bullying and xenophobic. If there are no acquaintances in the ***, ordinary people will not be able to get into the core of this *** even if they have been working here for three or five years. That person brought a batch of goods this morning, and you will see him in a while!"
The yard was a little deep. Just as I turned a screen wall, a sound that almost lifted the roof fell into Long Liexue's ears. The sound, dozens of people were shouting, only one, "Rise!" "Rise!" "Rise!"... With this crazy shout, a whistling of a machine came faintly...
Long Liexu finally saw the situation there. A group of men, about thirty or forty, gathered in a wooden shed that looked a little simple. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the scraper in the wooden shed without blinking, and were shouting wildly. There was someone pouring water on the cutting machine, and a stone the size of a dog head was also showing the tip of the iceberg behind the stone at the speed of the diamond saw blade...
"Woo...", the sharp sound from the saw blade of the cutting machine disappeared. The flying saw blade cut the air. Someone pulled down the electric switch of the cutting machine. The machine turned a few times and stopped. Everyone's eyes were staring at the section of the stone, round and round.
Even the shouting stopped. The scene suddenly changed from extreme movement to extreme silence. The needle was heard. A man gently held some water with his trembling hands and poured it on the stone, washing away the stone slurry on the cut surface. During the banquet, everyone took a breath of air conditioning. The lungs of dozens of people and the ground were expanded together. In that not small space, it was like half of the air in the room being pumped away by a large bellows...
At the section of the stone, a piece of crystal purple-green as big as a thumb appeared, which seemed real and illusory...
"The old pit has colorful colors on the glass bottom!" Some people at the scene shouted loudly, like a scoop of boiling water poured into boiling oil.
"Wow, I haven't seen it for many years!"
"Lao Kan, you offer a price, I'll want this piece of goods!"
"I want it for a fixed price of 800,000 yuan. Lao Kan, will you let it go?"
"I want it 200!"
“2.1 million!”
“2.2 million!”
There were no auctioneers at the scene, and everyone was calling for the price themselves. In just a short while, the stone was called for 2.6 million yuan, which was more expensive than gold.
Several men in front of Long Liexue were talking a lot.
"Ah, Lao Kan was posting today!"
"I see that stone is worth at least 3 million!"
"Damn, I've seen that stone, why didn't I expect it at that time?"
"Okay, this is someone who is lucky. The stone looks black and black, but it doesn't look like it. It's a little bit like it. It's a bead without a flower. When everyone shouted 120,000, everyone was hesitating. Who knows what it is? Didn't you bet on a similar piece last time and you lost more than 200,000 yuan?"
Sun Ruigao nodded and greeted a few familiar people. Not many people were particularly concerned about Long Liexue around him. Now everyone's emotions were attracted by Lao Kan's spring color.
Sun Ruigao turned his head and quietly introduced the situation to Long Liexu. "The people who can sit here are all rich jade merchants. Most people can't get in. Now everyone is gambling stones. This is much more exciting than being in a casino, and it is also the most intensive person's vision and luck. Some people buy a stone and then use a knife to immediately increase a hundred times, while others lose all their money. There are more than one place to gambling stones in this place, but when it comes to the level of gambling stones, few places can compare with this place. Ji Deng usually ships here..."
In just a moment, the value of the stone had soared to 2.76 million. The atmosphere on the scene was in vain. The old kan was still unmoved at this moment. He made a somewhat unexpected decision. But it was also a decision that many people expected - another strike!
"A lot of jade cannot have the same texture. The small window that Lao Kan opens now is spring color, but it cannot be guaranteed that the whole stone is spring color. Now some people call for more than 2.7 million yuan in the stone. If Lao Kan opens another window in other parts of the stone. It is spring color, then the stone will rise. If it is no. Then the price of this stone may fall. In Ruijiang, people become millionaires every day because of gambling stones, and millionaires lose money every day when gambling stones..."
With Sun Rui Gaodi's introduction, Long Liexu also had a little understanding of the gambling stones here. I have to say that the word "betting on stones" has really become an image. Even though human technology has developed to this day, there is still no technological means to tell people whether there is jade in it without destroying the original physical structure of the stone. When you look at those stones, except for those who have passed down from generation to generation, which are secretly and unreliable to outsiders, there is nothing to rely on. All the people in the land are gambling, the excitement and excitement of watching the stone turn into a precious jade in their own hands, and the pleasure of getting rich ten or even a hundred times overnight, making people who come into contact with it unconsciously trapped in it. Its power is not as powerful as heroin.
With the breath-holding attention of the person in charge, the old kan carefully chose a place on the stone in his land, and then, very carefully, carefully, and used the machine to wipe out a window that was as big as a thumbnail, which was too thin to be thin again - it was a spring color again! The crowd was boiling again, and as soon as the new window came out, someone offered a new price of 3.2 million yuan, and there were many people shouting for the price. In the end, the stone was sold for 3.78 million yuan. In just a few minutes, a stone worth 120,000 yuan made the old dungeon earn 3.66 million yuan, and the old dungeon couldn't even hold his mouth together. Look at the good cars in Ruijiang City, you will know why the people here are so rich.
There was no bench in the entire gambling site, and everyone was standing. Before gambling, someone would lift the stones that were to bet and put them on the table or on the ground for everyone to discuss them. The people who liked them directly quoted the price, and those who were higher were awarded. The people on the scene were circling around the stones, or evaluating them, and some exchanged opinions with each other. The entire scene was in chaos and order.
The appearance of the spring color in Lao Kan seemed to have made the people on the scene more fanatical. In the next half hour, at least 30,000 to 50,000 or 10 million, nearly 11 stones were sold. The stones sold were all "rise!", "rise!", and "rise!" and "rise!" and "rise" shouts revealed its true appearance under the cutting machine - not all stones will "rise"!
Good luck seemed to have been used up by Lao Kan. In the next few knifes, eight consecutive stones were clean and nothing after being cut. Accompanied by the untied stones, there were also the sighs of everyone, "Oh!"
There was a man who cut four pieces and had nothing after cutting them. After all, the four pieces were finished, and the man's face turned pale at that time. In just a few minutes, others made millions, but he lost millions. His face was predictable.
There was another one who spent more than one million yuan to buy a stone. Even after removing three swords, the man did not give up. After insisting on removing six swords, he finally saw a little green. However, if the little "green" was replaced with money, it would be enough for him to buy the stones. After the seventh sword, although he saw green, the man's face turned green, which was even more ugly than before...
Sun Ruigao shook his head, "That person must have regretted his intestines now. If he cut the first knife at the seventh knife, he would not cut the back. He would just change his hands. Even if he turned it over twice, some people would take over the price of his stone. Alas, but it is too late now. There is a jargon here, saying that it is better to cut it well than to buy it. It is about his situation. Some experienced masters in Ruijiang, and some people dare not cut it. They go to him. He used a pen to draw a line on the stone. It was only 100,000 yuan, and he could not bargain. It was really not easy for them to make money as the president of the United States."
Just as Sun Ruigao was speaking, someone carried a piece of stone out of the back of the house on the gambling site.
The stone needs four people to lift it, but at a glance, it is less than two or three hundred kilograms. The poles that lift the stone are bent. Even for people like Long Liexue who don’t understand jade, the emerald green exposed by the stone has already declared its innermost.
As soon as the stone was lifted in, everyone surrounded it, and everyone's eyes were glowing green.
Sun Ruigao gently touched Long Liexue, "Here you come!"
A man in his thirties, with a black face and a slightly fat body walked in from the outside. From the outside, the man looked nothing surprising and looked ordinary. His eyes were just as thin as a blade and made people feel a little special!
"Boss Ji, how much is your offer?" someone shouted.
"The base price is 10 million. This is what I just got from there. The goods were released from the old pit. There are some behind it. How do you see?"
When this man appeared, Sun Ruigao's introduction to this person a few days ago appeared in Long Liexu's mind almost instantly - Ji Deng, the jade merchants who traveled to Ruijiang and the Golden Triangle, and the jade on Wu Lingbiao's territory were basically transported to Ruijiang by this person. He had a good relationship with many separatist armed forces in the Lagon Free Army and the Golden Triangle. On the surface, this person was all over the world, and his relationship with Wu Lingbiao was only business dealings. But in fact, according to the information we have, this person is very likely to be one of the commercial agents and important spies outside the area, and is responsible for making money, laundering and collecting intelligence for the Lagon Free Army...
Among the information provided by Sun Ruigao to Long Liexue, the information about Wu Lingbiao is really pitiful. Wu Lingbiao has always been one of the most mysterious warlords in the Golden Triangle region. His only photo was left by him when he was the leader of the Tower Communist regiment. A blurred photo of wearing a military cap. More than ten years have passed. What does this person look like now? I am afraid that except for those White Demon Warriors and a few people who have dealt with him in the Golden Triangle, he can still recognize him. For many people in the outside world, Wu Lingbiao is
The three words are just a terrifying code name. In the past ten years, no photo has been circulated. Wu Lingbiao has controlled his territory very strictly, and his methods against enemies and traitors are extremely cruel. It is not difficult for a group of people to get into his territory to find some information. It is not as difficult as climbing the sky, but it is not much worse. Sun Ruigao once bribed people to Wu Lingbiao's territory several times to get information. As a result, the people sent were basically discovered as soon as they arrived at the territory. They didn't get much information, and once they lost a spy...
For Long Liexue, the only one who threatens the Blood Dragon Society and the people around him is Wu Lingbiao. As long as Wu Lingbiao dies, Long Liexue believes that no matter how many white demon warriors are left, it will not be possible. Therefore, this time when visiting the Golden Triangle, Long Liexue's first goal is to kill Wu Lingbiao with the fastest speed before Wu Lingbiao takes revenge on the Blood Dragon Society. Except for Huang Xiang's garbage, this is the first time in Long Liexue that Long Liexue has such a strong murderous intent to a person he has never met before. Whether it is for the public or private, for the self-private, or for the revenge of those dead brothers, Wu Lingbiao is a sure death in Long Liexue's heart.
Long Liexue wanted to kill Wu Lingbiao, but there were many difficulties in the middle. Now, let alone killing Wu Lingbiao, the simplest goal of connecting Wu Lingbiao is a bit out of reach, let alone others.
But fortunately, there is no way out. The eyeliner set by Wu Lingbiao outside, Ji Deng, who has gathered wealth for him, is a bridge, a vine, and a "free tour guide" who can take him to approach Wu Lingbiao...
The stone gambling place was still lively, and the stones brought by Ji Deng made everyone crazy. The large jade of hundreds of kilograms was finally won by several bosses for 12.6 million. During this period, even Sun Ruigao called the price "extremely devoted" several times, but it was a pity that the price he called was finally suppressed by others, and he didn't get a single stone...
There were not many people who were gambling at the stones carefully looked at a young man like Long Liexue. Those stones did not arouse much interest from Long Liexue. Of course, Long Liexue was still very interested in those stones on the surface. While everyone was blushing and shouting "Rise!" "Rise!" "Rise!" At the same time, a bold plan was quietly forming in Long Liexue's mind!
Chapter completed!
