The expected event had finally arrived. Zi Qing had long known that her essay would either explode in peace or perish in peace.
The result was obviously not peaceful. Two days after meeting with Su Wentao, all kinds of newspapers and financial news began to cover the fierce argument between various economics scholars about that article. Scholars from all walks of life scrambled 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 this article, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life.
Fortunately, other than a few people, no one knew who the author was. Zi Qing could imagine that if the outside world knew that the author of this article was a junior high school student like her, then the peaceful youth she had hoped for would be completely ruined. The government had obviously thought of this problem, so they blocked the news. However, this did not affect the crazy discussions of scholars in various fields. Some even reported it to the media. Of course, they used classics to scold people and never used vulgarities…
Ai Ziqing, who was the source of the incident, finally received a call from Ma Yuxi during her vacation." I heard that a batch of good goods has entered City K. They're going to hold a grand cultural program for stone gambling. Are you interested?"”
"Hmm, how's the matter at hand?”Ziqing asked.
"We can set off at any time." Ma Yuxi replied.
"Alright, we'll leave the day after tomorrow." Ziqing decided.
After hanging up the phone, Ziqing fell into deep thought. She understood that overdoing things was as bad as not doing enough. If she used her superpower too much, it was likely to disrupt the original jade market, which would be a terrible thing. However, if he encountered a supreme-grade jade and did not gamble, he would probably die of suffocation.
He might as well not care! If they really encountered good goods, they would just buy them. At most, they could just slowly put them on the market! After making up her mind, she felt relaxed. Ever since she came back from the mountain road, she had read a lot of books about jade and learned about it so that she could gamble on stones in the future.
Ziqing was a lazy person. However, there were more and more things to do recently, and school was about to start. In order not to comb her hair every day, she went straight to the barbershop at night and cut her hair into the slightly long short hair of her previous life. Although it gave people a more ordinary feeling, it made her look a little capable. Coupled with her young face, she smiled a little mischievously.
=====================================================
Stone gambling was a unique way of trading raw jade with a long cultural tradition. It attracted people from all over the jade world with its rich cultural background and legendary nature. It was said that this stone gambling auction was a week-long 'stone gambling feast' organized by the local government of City K in cooperation with many jade companies. It was to provide a new platform for collectors and stone gambling enthusiasts.
The stone gambling feast was held in the Jade Culture Mall in City K. In the exhibition hall of the mall, there were neat rows of stones sold by various jade companies. There were as many as thousands of stones. In front of each stone, there was information such as the production site, company, and price of the jade. There were also one to two stone-cutting staff at each exhibition table. The exhibition had everything from selling raw stones to cutting, polishing, and carving objects.
For some large raw materials that looked extremely good, they would even open the window to gamble. This gambling method was to test the eyes and courage of the buyer and the seller, because the raw materials that had jade in the window would be offered hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions according to the size of the raw material and the value of the jade. However, after the buyer could not resist the temptation to buy the raw stone, there might be a series of possible factors that could destroy the value of the entire jade stone, such as only a small piece of green that was exposed, commonly known as the " skin green ", or there was a crack inside.
When Zi Qing followed Ma Yuxi to City K, it had been three days since the stone gambling feast. It was said that a lot of low-grade jade had been cut in the past three days, and there was even a 20-kilogram old pit ice jade full of green. Everyone was envious.
At noon on the fourth day, Ziqing and Ma Yuxi appeared at the exhibition venue, but they didn't attract any attention. It looked like a middle-aged man with a 16-or 17-year-old girl.
Like last time, Ziqing didn't bring any tools, while Ma Yuxi had a miniature flashlight, magnifying glass, and everything else. The two of them looked separately. Ziqing went straight to the large raw material. When she saw a ton of orange-yellow fur, her eyes lit up. This color of the old pit skin had a high chance of producing the three-colored Fulushou jade. It was also a treasure among the jade. There were green, red, purple, or green, yellow, and purple. It was extremely rare!
He went forward to check, but there were already seven or eight people surrounding the raw material to check. One of the men frowned slightly when he saw Ziqing join in. He thought that it was already crowded enough. Why did a child come to coax him? Wasn't it causing trouble?
Zi Qing didn't pay attention to him. She gently touched the stone with her fingers and observed it carefully. Since she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to summarize more experience. Then, he narrowed his eyes and used his x-ray vision. The skin slowly faded away, and what appeared was a grayish white. Some of the stones were white, while others were grayish-white.
He continued to use his x-ray vision, but it was still grayish-white. Because the stone weighed a ton, it was a waste of time. The man beside her saw that the girl had been standing there staring at the stone without any tools in her hand. Then, he 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, Zi Qing had also completed her x-ray vision. Regretfully, she found that there was no trace of green in the whole piece. Such a big piece of good material rarely had such a situation. She shook her head regretfully and turned around to leave without looking at the man beside her. This made the man mutter in a low voice,"What the hell? Don't adults discipline children these days?"”
The first piece was a little disappointed. He continued to look at it, and it was a white piece again. The third piece was an 18-kilogram white salt shar-skinned raw material. There was a piece of light green jade inside, but it didn't seem to have enough water, and it was only half the size of a basketball. When he saw that the stone was priced at 700,000 yuan, he shook his head slightly and turned around to look at the next one.
This was a piece of dark sand black fur that weighed nearly a ton. It was priced at seven million, which was enough to make many people shrink back. The raw material didn't have a window. It was a gambling type raw material. Zi Qing walked over out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of raw material could actually offer a high price of seven million. She focused her spirit and looked into the mirror. It was still white. After about two to three centimeters, she suddenly saw a bright purple. Ziqing's eyes were already dazzled by the white color of the previous pieces. Now that she saw the bright color, she was so excited that she wanted to cry...
It was a bright purple jade with a 100% purity. The delicate and transparent texture was definitely the glass type. It was not like the more common purples like pinkish purple and blue-purple that were introduced in the books. It was definitely an extremely rare rich deep purple. The mysterious color and the crystal clear texture made Ziqing's heart tighten instantly!
Moreover, purple jade usually had a poor texture. It was simply unimaginable to encounter such a glass type that basically had no impurities. Zi Qing took a deep breath and calculated. If she opened this stone, two-thirds of it would be jade. She estimated that she could make two sets of jewelry and make back her capital. She immediately decided to buy it.
For convenience's sake, buyers who were interested in gambling on stones could deposit their money into the venue first. The venue would also issue the corresponding gift card to the buyer. No matter how much they used, the rest could be exchanged for cash on the return trip. Ma Yuxi, who had such experience, had naturally taken care of it. To be safe, he brought all the 12 million that had not been used to the conference. After all, he had often attended such events before. He knew that this amount of money was sometimes not enough.
Ziqing quickly pulled Ma Yuxi over and asked him to handle this stone. However, Ma Yuxi didn't think it was good after a rough observation and persuaded Ziqing to give up.
This made Ziqing somewhat helpless." Old Ma, can you trust me this once? This stone gives me a very good feeling. My senses have always been very accurate! I've also been studying the information on stone gambling.”After saying that, he looked straight into Ma Yuxi's eyes, letting him see his determination.
Seeing Ziqing's insistence, Ma Yuxi had no choice but to be discouraged. He began to worry about the company's cash flow problem. He still had four million yuan. It was good to let her suffer a little. Otherwise, she would never understand the dangers of this business.
This scene was seen by the man from before. He went forward to check the raw material and could not help but shake his head and sneer." You kids don't know how hard it is to earn money. Do you think it's a game? In my opinion, the possibility of this stone being green is not high.”In her words, she clearly treated Ziqing as a little girl who relied on her family's money to mess around.
"You don't have to worry about whether it's high or not.”Without waiting for Ma Yuxi to speak, Ziqing replied lightly, meaning that he was a little too nosy. The man's face turned green and red. He was a little angry and threw out a sentence.”He turned around and walked to the other side.
Before Ma Yuxi paid, Ziqing found two pieces of top-grade jade of the ice type, floating blue, and glass type, apple green. She also found two pieces of white stones that were not expensive. She was going to take them with her. There were also some low-grade goods. Ziqing felt that it was unnecessary to take them with her. Moreover, if she cut too much, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Ma Yuxi gritted his teeth and went through the procedures.
