Chapter 048
"Why, aren't you going to take action?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao's expression, as if he felt that Jia Sidao was eager to try. He couldn't help but look at him with some amusement, patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay, judging from the performance of this raw stone, it shouldn't cost much. Maybe, you can really bet on it."
However, anyone who heard his tone of speaking could guess that he was not optimistic about this piece of jade wool at all.
"Boss, how much does this stone cost?" Jia Sidao did not hesitate. After all, some things do not need to be explained too clearly, and they cannot be explained too clearly. It is better to change the topic and come more realistically.
The seller is a middle-aged man who looks very kind. When such a person starts a business, he will easily gain the first sense of favor from the customers. Seeing Jia Sidao being really interesting, he couldn't help but introduce it enthusiastically, and he said that the source of this raw stone. You must know that the entrance of the jade raw stone is very important.
Generally speaking, no matter which market it is in, when it comes to the source of jadeite raw stones, it is naturally Myanmar. However, when it comes to the scene, it is quite particular. Just like Longtang, Magang, Pagan, etc., they are often spoken by these sellers. Just today, Jia Sidao has heard such remarks a lot.
As for whether it is, it depends on your own judgment. No wonder Liu Yufei said that the first point of gambling stones is to judge the ground of the original stone. In addition, it is the old pit and the new pit. The old pit has better quality and sufficient water head, and is even more talked about.
The rough stone in front of me is obviously from gray card. Although these sellers are wearing similar clothes to ordinary people, they are not at all noticeable in the crowd. However, their eyesight on gambling stones is not necessarily comparable to those of people who have been involved in the gambling stone industry for many years. Otherwise, how can they price these jade rough stones?
When it comes to speaking, it is even more random. Even an ordinary piece of jade wool can be said to you so much that it is like the jadeite rough stone in front of you. If it weren't for Liu Yufei's objective evaluation just now, the seller would have dared to directly contain Gao Cui.
Fortunately, Jia Sidao also knew that the bargaining transactions in gambling were not at all careless.
Liu Yufei was very persistent when he saw Jia Sidao's meaning. With the help of his friends, he even spoke a few words occasionally, pointing to the inferiority of the wool, and almost criticized the jadeite rough stone as useless and completely exhausted.
In the end, the two sides compromised, and Jia Sidao cut the price from 50,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and the transaction was completed.
Afterwards, Jia Sidao originally planned to cut it directly, and it was really easy to untire a stone in a place like Yushi Street. Almost every stall selling stones has tools for calcification on the side. Of course, if it is a large raw stone or even a precious raw stone, most people will not untire it directly at the stall after buying it.
The tools here are basically to satisfy the curiosity of tourists. You can’t let those people buy a stone and take them home to untie thousands of miles, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, there were bursts of cheers coming from a stall next to me. This made Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei very curious. Could it be that someone had a gamble?
Now, after paying the money, Jia Sidao held the stone and walked a few steps there, and went to the noisy place with Liu Yufei. Fortunately, the jadeite rough stone in his hand was not heavy, and the place close to the stall was already a store by the street. Only when you are an acquaintance or a buyer spent a certain amount of money, the perfect calcite tools in these shops will be lent to you for use.
Generally speaking, if the buyer does not want to take back a little more valuable jadeite rough stone, he will basically untie it on the spot in such a store.
Jia Sidao approached the crowd and glanced at him, and it was indeed calculating.
However, the movements of the middle-aged man squatting beside the jade wool material were very different from the calcite in Jia Sidao's impression. He was very careful and careful, as if he was holding a piece of exquisite thing. Jia Sidao understood after thinking about it for a moment, and it turned out that the man was rubbing the stone.
Rubbing stones is an ancient rule in the gambling world. The effect is obvious and relatively safe. If everyone bets on stones, like Jia Sidao in the "Weekly Diary", cut the raw stone into half and cut out the jade, which is certainly gratifying, but if the jade in the raw stone happens to be cut in half, resulting in the inability to make a bracelet, the price loss is one aspect. If the part is not found correctly and the jade cannot be seen from the position where the knife is cut, it will easily cause a scene of gambling.
Stone rubbing starts with the skin of the jadeite raw stone, and gently grinds off the thick skin to further determine the internal situation of the jadeite raw stone. In this way, even if the buyer makes any mistake in the judgment of the internal stone, or lacks confidence in the jadeite raw stone in his hands, as long as the place where the rubbing is performed well, the buyer can stop calculating and transfer the raw stone at a high price to transfer the risk to the next house.
However, the middle-aged man in front of him was obviously not very lucky.
Jia Sidao looked at the whole jadeite roughly from a distance. It should be a little larger than what he bought. After inquiring, it actually cost 200,000 yuan. I think the surface of this raw stone should have performed very well. When I was rubbing the stone just now, it did not turn green. No wonder most of the onlookers couldn't help but take a breath.
Although a place like Tengchong is only more than 80 kilometers away from the border of Myanmar, the world's only jade wool production site. Every day, there are scenes of gambling stones, getting rich, or cutting them down. But it is rare to actually talk about millions or tens of millions of gambling wool transactions.
If you first come to Tengchong like Jia Sidao, you can see someone untied hundreds of thousands of jade wool materials on the jade street, which is quite rare.
Since you are going to rub the stone, you naturally start with the best performance of the outer skin of the jadeite raw stone. First, such places are most likely to produce green, and secondly, it is also a good start, so you can be lucky.
Liu Yufei told Jia Sidao a lot during the chat that some particular businessmen would start wiping stones after betting on a piece of jade wool, after betting on a piece of jade, changing clothes, fasting, etc., as if a business like gambling on stones is an art and a belief!
