At noon, Lin Feng and the other two found a restaurant near the archery range. After lunch, Xue Hui said to Lin Feng,"Third Bro, what are you doing this afternoon?"
"I'm going home. What else can I do?" Lin Feng said," Second brother, do you have any ideas?”
Don't go back. I'll take you to see the stone gambling.”Xue Hui said.
"Betting stones? Betting what? Hetian jade?" Lin Feng asked with a face full of doubt.
"It's not Hetian jade, it's jade. When jade is mined, it's wrapped in a layer of stone skin. Only by cutting it open can you see if there's jade inside and how good the quality of the jade is.”Xue Hui explained.
"There's such a way to play with jade? I haven't heard of it." Lin Feng was very interested, but he also had some concerns," This kind of stone gambling is not illegal, right?”
"No, the country won't care about gambling. It's all fair and square.”Xue Hui shook his head." However, the risk of stone gambling is very high. There's a saying in the stone gambling world that goes,'One cut to heaven, one cut to hell'. Perhaps a stone bought for a few million yuan is worthless inside, and perhaps a stone bought for a few hundred yuan can be increased by dozens or hundreds of times with one cut. This is the charm of stone gambling."
"Alright, I'll go with you to take a look." Lin Feng was even more interested.
"Third Brother, let's agree that we'll go there to broaden our horizons. We'll just buy two pieces to play with, but we can't get addicted to it.”Xue Hui warned.
"Second brother, don't you understand me? Am I the kind of person who knows how to gamble?" Lin Feng laughed.
You're right." Lin Feng smiled and nodded his head.
Lin Feng was a very realistic person. He never believed that there would be free lunch.
For example, when they were in university, there was a period of time when their dormitory was addicted to the lottery. The other people in the dormitory bought lottery tickets every day, hoping to win five million, but Lin Feng never participated.
Because Lin Feng felt that the chances of winning the lottery were too low, and it was too unreliable to rely on buying lottery tickets to get rich.
Lin Feng drove behind Xue Hui's car. After walking for more than ten minutes, he stopped in front of a two-story building.
After finding a place to park his car, Lin Feng got out of the car and walked to Xue Hui and Cheng Meimei's side. He looked at the two-story building in front and asked,"Second brother, is it here?"
Xue Hui nodded. Yes, let's go in.”
Entering the building, they could hear the noise of people and the sound of machines cutting stones.
"Little President Xue is here?" A thin man in his forties greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, CEO Wang. I brought a friend here to take a look. You don't have to worry about me.”Xue Hui said.
"President Xue and this friend here, feel free to take a look. If you take a good look, I'll give you a discount.”Director Wang said.
"Okay, thank you, CEO Wang." Xue Hui said.
After chatting for a while, CEO Wang went to do something else.
Xue Hui brought Lin Feng around. There were many stones placed on the east side of the hall. The stones of different sizes looked inconspicuous, but the cheapest one was priced at a few hundred yuan.
A few people were picking out stones and shining their torchlights here and there. They looked very professional.
Two of them even recognized Xue Hui and greeted him.
"Isn't this too expensive?" Lin Feng stood in front of a stone priced at 500,000. This stone was only the size of a human head, but the price made him speechless.
"This is a semi-gambling material. Look at the window here. You can see the jade inside.”Xue Hui pointed at the stone and introduced it.
Lin Feng looked in the direction Xue Hui was pointing and saw a touch of green.
"Since there's jade inside, why didn't anyone buy it?”Lin Feng asked in confusion.
"I don't think anyone in the world can see what's going on under the window. After all, it's difficult for a god to cut through jade. No one can guess what's going on inside the stone. There are many factors that affect jade, such as color, water, cracks, and so on.”Xue Hui explained. Oh." Lin Feng understood a little, but he knew very little about jade and did not fully understand.
"Second brother, did you also gamble on the jade you bought?”Lin Feng asked.
"No, it's too risky to gamble on the jade directly. My family's company is too small, and we don't have a professional stone-gambling master. Unlike those large jewelers, who spend hundreds of millions or even billions to gamble on the jade every time they open a public auction in the south and Myanmar. However, the risk is small, and the rewards are small. We can only buy some jade of average quality. For example, those high-quality jade are either in private collections or bought by large jewelry companies.”Xue Hui explained.
"I didn't expect the jade market to have more tricks than Hetian jade.”Lin Feng said.
"Of course, because the word gambling will definitely attract a lot of people. Now that stone gambling is becoming more and more famous, many people who are not in the jade business are also involved. However, most of these people will not end up well.”Xue Hui said.
"Indeed." Lin Feng nodded his head in agreement.
"It's green, it's growing, haha…"
At this moment, an excited voice came from the other side of the stone.
The bet had gone up. Let's go over and take a look.”Lin Feng said.
When they arrived, there were already seven or eight people gathered here. A middle-aged man was standing in front of the machine and talking to the stone cutter.
"Not bad, Old Zhang's luck is pretty good today.”
"Yeah, Old Zhang cut down four or five pieces in a row yesterday. His luck has finally turned around today.”
"Sigh, I also thought highly of this stone, but before I could make up my mind, Old Zhang was bought. If I had known earlier, I would have bought it.
These people were discussing animatedly. Someone even shouted,"Old Zhang, stop cutting. Sell it to me for 300,000 yuan.”
I bid 310,000, I bid 320,000.”
Everyone started bidding.
"So crazy?" Lin Feng looked at Xue Hui and asked.
"These people are not from the jewelry company. They just want to take advantage of me. According to the current performance of this stone, it must be more than 300,000 yuan.”Xue Hui whispered.
Soon, the price was raised to more than 400,000 yuan, but the owner of the gambling stone, Old Zhang, turned a deaf ear to it. After discussing with the stone cutter, he continued cutting until the jade was completely cut out.
Old Zhang was very excited as he held the jade. A stone bought for more than 10,000 yuan could at least increase in value by dozens of times.
"600,000. Old Zhang, I bid 600,000 for this jade.”
630,000, 630,000. Old Zhang, I bid 630 thousand
650,000. Old Zhang, sell it to me.”
Everyone started bidding again. This time, the price was much higher than when the jade was completely cut out.
"Second brother, don't you want this jade?”Lin Feng nudged Xue Hui beside him and asked.
He wanted it, but forget it. There were too many people bidding for it. It wasn't worth it.”Xue Hui shook his head and said regretfully.
The bidding soon ended, and in the end, one person bought the jade for 730,000 yuan.
At this price, even if it was made into a finished product, it would not make much profit unless it was collected and waited for the price of the jade to rise.”Xue Hui commented," Third Brother, did you see that? This was a knife of wealth. How about it? Are you moved?"
"There's nothing to be tempted about. The probability of gambling on high-quality jade is too small. I don't believe that I have such good luck.”Lin Feng shook his head.
