Gambling stone is a term for jewelry. It refers to the fact that when jade is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. It is impossible to know the quality of jade. It must be cut before it can be known.

The name of the gambling stone in the early stage is not called gambling stone, but a gambling shop. The must-haves of stone gambling stone gamblers: one is the ability to challenge, the second is the spirit of adventure, and the third is rich experience. If you get rich overnight in the gambling stone market, of course, it is not ruled out that you will lose everything overnight.

Unprocessed jade raw stones are called "wool materials". In the jade trading market, wool materials are also called "stones", and full-green wool materials are called "color goods"; uneven green wool materials are called "flower brand materials", and large wool materials without high-quality jade are called "brick materials". The whole is wrapped in a leather shell, and the jade raw materials that are not cut open and have not opened a window (also known as open doors) are called "gambling stones", or "gambling goods". The outer skin of the gambling stones is wrapped in thin or thick primitive stones, and the colors of different gambling stones are different, including red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors.

Jade produced by old factories has skin, but the water stone jade produced in the riverbed is also old factories with thin or no skin. Most jade produced by new factories has skinless, but the skin produced in the slope layer has skin. The thickness and thinness of the skin mainly depends on the degree of weathering. The skin is thicker if the skin is high. The surface of a piece of jade raw material is colored and the surface is good. When cutting the first cut, it will be green, but it may be gone when cutting the second cut. This is also a common thing. Wherever you leave the jade mine, you only have one ten thousandth of the betting increase (referring to coloring materials). The chance of betting increase in jade mines is much higher. If you bet on one jade, you will get rich overnight, but most of them end in failure.

The most profitable, most tempting, but also the most risky one is gambling stones. There is a jargon in the jewelry industry: gambling stones is like gambling life. If you win a bet, you make ten times and a hundred times, and you will become a rich man overnight; if you lose everything, you will lose everything. Compared with gambling stones, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are warm and pale in comparison.

Generally, the true face of the "Lushan" of the original stone cannot be seen at a glance from the appearance. Even today when science is prosperous, no instrument can quickly determine whether it is "baoyu" or "failed shovel" through this shell. Therefore, the risk of buying and selling is very high and "stimulating", so it is called "gambling". The profit of winning bet is very high, so this kind of buying and selling has lasted for a long time from ancient times to the present.

Pang Xiaonan is certainly familiar with "betting on stones", but he is a little confused: "Why are there stone gambling conferences in the black market? Generally, such auctions are in the place of origin of gems?"

Mr. Wang said: "To the west of Huahai City, there is a long Rocky Mountain Range. On this mountain range, many gem mines were discovered decades ago, so some merchants went to mine. Of course, there were those who were lucky and made a fortune, and there were also those who were unable to wear pants that were not worth losing. It was like the gold rush in the wilderness of the west before."

"In other words, are all the gems from the Rocky Mountains sold in Huahai City?" Pang Xiaonan was very interested in jewelry, which was a shortcut to make him rich overnight.

"Those gems with lower quality are purchased and sold by the jewelry company in Huahai City," Mr. Wang obviously has industries involved. "If the quality is better, they will be sold abroad by export agents," Mr. Wang paused, "and the top quality gems were auctioned at this black market stone gambling conference."

"Since it is a raw stone, how can you know it is top quality?" Pang Xiaonan is interested in gems, but he is not very clear about the operation of gem mines and gem companies.

"People who are engaged in the jewelry industry will more or less see some probabilities from the appearance of the raw stones, such as me," Mr. Wang did not boast about it. He also studied the skills of gambling stones for a while. "When you can't see it, you don't do the processing and directly get it to the stone gambling conference for auction. In this way, it is possible that a general rough stone can be sold at a sky-high price and turned it into a treasure."

It is very simple to measure the quality of a piece of jade. The first is its hardness and density. The hardness of jade is very high, generally reaching 7 degrees of Mohs. The jargon in the jade world is called "type".

Good "type" means high hardness. Experienced jade sellers will use a piece of glass for experiments and scratch their jadeite stones on the glass, resulting in deep scratches on the glass, while the jadeite stones are not damaged at all. The hardness of good jade and gold and steel stones is almost the same.

The second is transparency. In jargon, it is called "water head". The higher the transparency, the higher the quality. The best jade is like glass, and the jade industry calls it a glass bottom.

If the skin has no green at all, and only the green at the opening is seen, its price should be lower than the actual price. This is the general basis and principle for valuing high-end jade raw materials. According to this method, there will be no major deviation in valuing jade raw materials.

The quality of jade raw materials is unpredictable and there is no fixed judgment model. Even a piece of flawless jade that has been peeled off may also undergo great changes after cutting. Therefore, the valuation of jade raw materials is very practical. Only by looking at, buying, thinking more, and collecting more can you understand the rules of jade price.

In addition to jadeite gambling stones, there are also tree-forming jade gambling stones and other gambling stones. The jade turned into trees 200 million years ago is also very gambled. Generally, tree-forming jade has outer skin, and its jade-forming layer is good or bad. Only after removing the outer skin can you see it. Buying tree-forming jade woolen material is actually gambling stones. Sometimes it loses all its money, and sometimes it increases a hundred times, which requires strong professional knowledge.

Gambling stones requires both solid professional knowledge and luck, otherwise it cannot be called gambling. It is possible that even the master of gambling stones cannot see any broken stones. Once they are picked up and opened, they will be a gem. There is no permanent general in this industry.

Mr. Wang said: "The most famous story of gambling stones is the Heshi Bi. According to legend, in the Chu State two thousand years ago, there was a man named Bian He who found a piece of jade. He took it out to offer it to the two kings of Chu State. The king thought he was deceived and cut off his left and right legs one after another. Bian He could not leave without legs. He hugged the jade puddle and cried on the Chu Mountain for three days and three nights. Later, King Wen of Chu found out, he sent someone to bring the jade puddle and asked the jade worker to cut it open. As a result, he obtained a gem-level jade. The gem was named Heshi Bi. Later, this gem was owned by King Hui of Zhao, and King Zhao of Qin applied fifteen cities to exchange for this gem, which shows how valuable this gem was. This gem was later carved into a national jade seal, and it was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that he lost it. If Bian He could survive to this day, he would definitely be an outstanding stone gambling master."

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "Although Bian He discovered Heshi Bi, he met someone who didn't know how to do it. This is a tragedy. Nine out of ten bets will lose. When we go to the stone gambling conference, we must not be lucky."

Member Wang laughed and said, "Since it's a gamble, there will be uncertainty. If you are considered dead, how can others play?"

Pang Xiaonan stopped talking, and he had a plan in his mind and asked, "How much does a rough stone usually start at the gambling stone ceremony?"

Member Wang said: "The gem mines of rough stones worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands are rarely more than one million, and the gem mines are opened by themselves and will never be auctioned. So if you want to find a bargain, you can only rely on luck."

"But!" Congressman Wang made a big turn, "The Black Bear Gang used a stone worth millions to play a game. This is the gimmick of the stone gambling conference."

"How to compare the law?" Pang Xiaonan knew that this stone gambling conference was definitely not as simple as seeing the transaction of raw stones on the spot, otherwise it would not have become a fixed program of the Black Bear Gang.

"It's very simple, it's similar to the rules of the casino," said Wang slowly. "Have you played cards? The simplest way to bet is to be larger than the size. If your card is larger, then you will win money. However, the gambling tools at the gambling stone conference are not cards, but raw stones. The Black Bear Gang will take out a stone, and the rest can take their own stones to bet on it, and then cut them on the spot after buying them. If the gems from your stone are more valuable than the dealer, then you will win. But as long as there is a person's stone on the table that is more valuable than you, you will lose."

Pang Xiaonan blinked, but he still didn't understand, "Then is this bet too monotonous. It's just just taking a stone and then waiting for the card to be opened?"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "If it's so simple, what else is there? The way to play the stone betting game is similar to the bet. If you think you have a big win and can keep raising bets, then others will judge whether it is worth following. Sometimes the bet on the table is higher than the value of the stone itself."

Pang Xiaonan finally understood, and he nodded and said, "For example, if I bet 1 million, the next company thinks that his stone is not worth 1 million in total, or if he thinks that the risk of betting 1 million is too great, then he can choose to get out, and the bet he bet before will be collected from the bet pool. If the next company thinks that his stone can beat me, he may be more than 1 million and I will be 1 million, so that the bet will become bigger and bigger until no one calls, right?"

"That's right!" Mr. Wang didn't expect that Pang Xiaonan looked like a student, but he was so clear about the gambling game, and his eyes were full of doubts. "It seems that you know the rules of gambling very well. Although the rules of gambling stones are similar to gambling cards, it is even more exciting because everyone is gambling blindly."

Pang Xiaonan smashed it, and just ate the cherry and some flesh was embedded in the cracks of his teeth. He whipped it hard and slapped the flesh into his mouth, and then swallowed it into his stomach, without wasting any waste. Then he said: "Yes, blind gambling, at least everyone can see their own cards, and then judge other people's cards from other people's expressions and actions, but gambling stones is completely left to fate."

Member Wang picked up his cell phone to check the time, dialed the phone, and turned on the speakerphone: "Why haven't you called back for the meal for so long?"

Peng Yuyan on the other end of the phone: "I told the chef to make a bowl of medicinal soup. After a while, it was ready. I was already on the way back and arrived soon."

Pang Xiaonan smiled knowingly and said, "Peng Yuyan is very considerate. I know that you need to replenish your illness if you cure it today."

Member Wang hung up his phone and laughed, saying, "He has been with me for a long time. He used to be a major in the Marine Corps and has a bright future."

Pang Xiaonan took a scallion pancake and tasted it. He didn't feel hungry at first. After being reminded by Mr. Wang on this phone, he remembered that he had not had dinner yet, so he first ate a pancake to suffice his stomach. When Mr. Wang said that Mr. Wang was a major in the Marine Corps, he said curiously: "I think he is young, why don't he have a bright future and follow you, the old man? You must have captured him with sugar-coated shells?"

Member Wang smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you think he is like a person who wants to enjoy it?"

Pang Xiaonan thought for a while and said, "It really doesn't look like it."

Mr. Wang said: "That year, something happened in his family. His father offended the underworld in his hometown and was stabbed to death by someone. He could not find any evidence. So he left the army, returned to his hometown to avenge his father, and killed the other party's boss. He was originally going to jail, but later I learned about this situation and helped him settle the matter. After all, Peng Yuyan had some interactions with me, and I and him were strictly related to superiors and subordinates."

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "So he followed you to repay you. It's a very old-fashioned plot."

Congressman Wang said: "It's a bit old-fashioned, but Peng Yuyan had a choice at that time. Hei Mamba Company was preparing to hire him at a high salary, but he refused."

"Black Mamba?" Pang Xiaonan remembered Bei Dajun.

"Yes, Black Mamba," said Congressman Wang. "Black Mamba is the largest armed security company in our country and even the world. If Peng Yuyan pursues high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he can join Black Mamba."

As he was talking, Peng Yuyan knocked on the door and brought a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, Pang Xiaonan said to Peng Yuyan: "Brother Peng, please send me back to school to get something, and then take me to Hailong Community." Knowing Peng Yuyan's life experience, Pang Xiaonan inexplicably had some good feelings for Peng Yuyan.

"Okay." Peng Yuyan quickly packed the table, then got up and prepared to drive.

Pang Xiaonan told Member Wang: "If you have nothing to do, just live home early. No matter how good the conditions of this hospital are, it is not as comfortable as living in the home, and it is convenient for me to send you medicine."

Member Wang stood up and said, "Yes, it's good to be at home for a thousand days. I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go home!"

"By the way, we'll go to the stone gambling conference another day."

Pang Xiaonan returned to the school dormitory on the big G off-road vehicle driven by Peng Yuyan. Suddenly remembered something and said to Peng Yuyan: "Brother Peng, you don't have to wait for me. I'll go to Hailong Community by myself." He almost forgot that he was a person with a car, and the key to Wang Gangqiang's shepherd was still on him.

Peng Yuyan smiled at him, without asking the reason, and said, "Okay, if you have something to do, call me. By the way, will the Hungry Wolf ask me to say hello to you?"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said, "No, thank you." He didn't take the Hungry Wolf Gang seriously.

Peng Yuyan sat in the cab and made a military salute to Pang Xiaonan. He smiled with great sunshine and said, "Goodbye." Then he disappeared into the night as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

Pang Xiaonan went to the dormitory to pack his luggage. He didn't have much luggage at all, so he just put two pieces of changing clothes and daily necessities, plus some textbooks and school supplies, and put a backpack on it.

Carrying a heavy backpack, Pang Xiaonan walked out of the dormitory and looked at the words "303" on the dormitory door frame. He felt a little moved, "Oh, it's still not suitable for campus life after all.

Pang Xiaonan remembered that Wang Gangqiang's car was parked on the road outside the fighting club, so he walked towards the fighting club. Outside the fighting club was a small garden, and outside the garden was a tree-lined avenue, and the shepherd was parked under a tall phoenix tree.

Pang Xiaonan pressed the key of the car, opened the lock, threw the bag on the passenger seat of the passenger, and was about to drive away. He thought he would say hello to Wang Gangqiang, so he walked straight into the fighting club.

The fighting club is still so hot, everyone is actively wielding their fists and kicking. In the battle with Monkey Brother, everyone realizes that their fighting level is still very deficient. As soon as Pang Xiaonan enters the door, he hears Wang Gangqiang yelling: "Everything is serious, don't make that boy Pang Xiaonan too proud!" It seems that he has not been disappointed in yesterday's battle at all.

Pang Xiaonan quietly walked behind Wang Gangqiang, patted him, and called "President".

Wang Gangqiang turned around and saw that it was Pang Xiaonan. He instinctively jumped back and said tremblingly: "What are you doing? Pang Xiaonan?"

Pang Xiaonan looked at Wang Gangqiang with a smile and said, "What are you doing, I'll tell you, I'll drive away your car."

Wang Gangqiang's voice became louder: "You drive away the car, but you want to give me an explanation, why did you lead the underworld to the fighting club?!"

Pang Xiaonan has already changed into casual clothes, a blue round-neck shirt on his upper body, a hole in the cuffs, a washed white jeans on his lower body, and a pair of open-toed sandals on his feet. He looks like a poor boy from the countryside.

Pang Xiaonan still looked at Wang Gangqiang with a smile and said, "President, you have to thank me. I have led the underworld to the fighting club. First, to increase everyone's practical experience, and second, to establish authority for the fighting club. Look, when the Dongli Military Academy fight club goes out in the future, who dares to bully the fighting club? Those gangs are not allowed to run away if they see it?"

Wang Gangqiang straightened his neck and shouted, "Don't you tell me that you didn't want to do that. Do you know how much loss did you cause to the fighting club yesterday? Also, you asked the Hungry Wolf to pay 60,000 yuan, and 40,000 yuan of it was from the fighting club?" Wang Gangqiang had long wanted to settle the score with Pang Xiaonan, but he remembered that he was not Pang Xiaonan's opponent and had never dared to take action.

Pang Xiaonan snorted and said, "Wang Gangqiang, please have some common sense, okay? If I hadn't taken action, what would the fighting society look like? If I hadn't taken action, where would I get 60,000 yuan? I earned 60,000 yuan with coolies. Do you have the nerve to ask me? Besides, are you rich second generation short of that little money? I am a poor student, and it's time to lack money."

"Then you can't just take it all..." Wang Gangqiang's voice became weaker. He was not short of tens of thousands of dollars. He just couldn't stand Pang Xiaonan's failure to take him seriously, so that he, the president of the fighting club, had no face in front of the members.
