227. One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears sackcloth.
Uncle Wang felt that they were just resting temporarily and there was no need to find a big hotel; and Dai Mingdao's status was too special, so keeping a low profile could avoid unnecessary trouble, so after getting off the plane, he directly chose a small hotel to stay.
Uncle Wang and his wife were full of curiosity about this helmet that could suddenly turn people into nothing. They kept playing with it all the way, even when they were in the room. No, they were playing around with the helmet in various ways.
At that moment, De Mingdao appeared.
The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds, and the situation was a bit awkward. Dai Mingdao coughed and said hello, then stood up and scanned the room as usual. After finding no problems, he summoned his girlfriends.
Uncle Wang and his wife were stunned for a long time when they saw the trick of turning a human being into a living person.
Dai Mingdao introduced these five girls to Uncle Wang and his wife one by one. Although they all have a popular appearance, their figure, temperament, aura and other attributes cannot be changed no matter what. The two elders praised them repeatedly.
Now that everyone is here, there is no need to stay in this small hotel. It is more important to do business! Uncle Wang led the way, and Dai Mingdao followed behind. After leaving the small hotel, they called a few cars and went straight to
Located in Tengchong, the jade products and rough stone distribution center.
Myanmar’s jadeite is famous in the world. As Myanmar’s main export product, jadeite has always been loved by Chinese people. As one of the important ports for China-Myanmar trade, Tengchong gathers more than half of the jadeite rough stones produced in Myanmar. Those jadeites
After the rough stones come out of the pit, they will undergo the first wave of screening by stone gamblers, and the rest will be transported to the jade products and rough stone trading center in Tengchong for trading.
After decades of development, the formerly chaotic jade trading center has now embarked on a path of formalization and order. The entire distribution center is more like a large jade wholesale market, with a straight avenue passing through the gate, connecting the entire jade trading center.
The distribution center is divided into two parts. From the main road, many roads crisscross and divide the huge distribution center into many blocks. Each block is built with various styles of buildings, some are gorgeously decorated and magnificent, and some are not.
It is built with carved railings and jade, and is antique. The entire distribution center looks orderly from the inside out.
About half of the distribution center is used as a trading place for jade products. It is filled with jade ornaments, pendants, bracelets, rings and other finished and semi-finished products, such as "glass type", "ice type", "glutinous type"
", "Beuzhong" and other jade products of various grades are available. Of course, there are also A-grade products and fake ones. It all depends on your eyesight.
The other half of the site is used as a trading place for jade rough stones. Raw stones from old pits and new pits in Myanmar are gradually shipped here and put out for buyers to choose. No one knows whether the rough stones contain jadeite. Everything is based on experience.
You still have a little bit of luck in your vision. If you get an emerald, it's called "green", and you'll get rich; if you get a bunch of broken stones, you have bad luck, and you can't blame others. This is a "gamble shop", which is also commonly known as
"Stone Gambling".
The rough stones used for gambling are roughly divided into two types: rough stones without windows and rough stones with windows.
Unopened rough stones are also called full gemstones. Apart from the shape and weight, it is difficult to tell whether there is jade in the rough stones from the appearance alone. Therefore, this kind of rough stone is extremely risky, but the price of each piece is relatively cheap.
The risk of rough stones that have been opened is relatively low. These windows are usually pickaxe fractures. By illuminating the fractures with light, you can roughly determine whether the rough stone contains jade, which is much more certain. Therefore, this
The price of planting window rough stones is relatively high.
The existence of stone gambling gave birth to the special profession of stone gambling. They serve their employers with their rich theoretical knowledge and practical experience and try to reduce the employer's losses. However, after all, the characteristic of stone gambling lies in the word "gambling"
In theory, luck accounts for the vast majority of the ingredients, and theory and experience are not very reliable.
Dai Mingdao and his group of eight people arrived at the jade products and rough stone distribution center in a hurry. They ignored the finished and semi-finished jade products and plunged into the stone gambling venue.
Along the way, Uncle Wang relied on his years of experience in the jade business to provide Dai Mingdao and the others with a lot of jade identification knowledge. If he knew that in Dai Mingdao's eyes, these rough jade stones were as privacy-less as a girl without clothes.
If so, why don’t you spurt out a mouthful of old blood in depression!
Deming said that as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the stone gambling venue, they were attracted by the bustling flow of people, the sounds of cutting, cheers and sighs.
Seeing those gamblers who got emeralds glowing and accepting the crowd's admiration; the losers who got a pile of stones felt sad and left the game in disgrace. Uncle Wang shook his head and sighed: "There is a saying in the stone gambling world called 'One knife will lead to poverty'
, One sword makes you rich, one sword pierces linen.’ It fully describes the thrills and ups and downs in it.”
"Uncle Wang, haven't you ever bet on this thing before?" Meng Yuanyun asked curiously.
"I'm not as crazy as them. I always buy finished and semi-finished goods, and after I'm done I'll go here to pick out a few pieces that look good to try my luck. But I also know that I don't have that fate, so I don't dare to play too much.
"Uncle Wang smiled and touched Meng Yuanyun's head. This little girl seemed to be very close to Uncle Wang, and there was no rejection reaction.
"Then have you ever found jade?" Xiaowei then asked.
"Ashamed, my money has been wasted every time, and I haven't received any money yet." Uncle Wang said with an embarrassed smile.
"Then you are lucky! Ask Mingdao to get you two pieces to ensure that they turn green," An encouraged.
"How can it be so evil? How can you not make a fortune if the pieces turn green?" Aunt Wang didn't believe this, "If you can get one piece out of ten pieces, that's great luck!"
An wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Lifei. There are many people here, and being too high-profile is not a good thing.
Dai Mingdao said with a smile: "Since everyone is out to play together, how about each picking a few pieces to try their luck? If you are lucky, you might get something good!"
How about this: Each person takes out a capital of 10,000 yuan and selects rough stones according to their preferences until all the money is spent. The rough stones picked out are cut on the spot to compare who picks the rough stones and extracts the jadeite with the highest value.
How about the most valuable lucky star treating everyone to dinner?"
The girls thought this gambling method was interesting, so they immediately agreed and went to pick out rough stones in twos and threes.
"Ming Dao, are these five girls really your girlfriends? Aren't they jealous among themselves?" Uncle Wang came over and gossiped in a low voice.
"Uncle Wang, you don't have any... thoughts, do you?" Dai Mingdao asked in a vulgar tone.
"He dares?" Aunt Wang's ears were so bright that she reached out and picked up Uncle Wang's ears. Uncle Wang quickly raised his hands to beg for mercy.
"Hey, isn't this Wu Shizhuo? Why are you here today free to gamble on stones?" A middle-aged man's voice with an awkward accent came from behind the three of them.
Uncle Wang looked back, immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Isn't this Ge Gang? If you don't stay in your own shop, why are you here here?"
"I just heard someone say that they saw Wu Chizhuo coming to our place to purchase goods, but I waited and waited and saw no one, so I felt strange and came over to take a look. It turns out that you came directly to the stone gambling venue.
, This is really rare! I wonder if these two are..." the visitor said.
"Let me introduce, this is my lover Sun Suli; this is my nephew Lin Chong. This time I brought my lover, nephew and his girlfriend to travel here." Uncle Wang introduced: "This is just now
, Suli, just call him brother Gang; Chonger, as a junior, you should call him Wu Gang."
Aunt Wang and Dai Mingdao said hello to each other one after another. The man who had just arrived in Myanmar was very talkative, and he got along with Dai Mingdao and the other three after a few words. When he learned that Dai Mingdao came here to gamble on stones, he
I strongly recommended the most famous stone bettor here and the stone interpreter to Dai Mingdao. The stone interpreter would need it later, so Dai Mingdao stayed without saying a word, while the stone bettor Dai Mingdao declined with a smile.
With Uncle Wang and Gang accompanying him to bargain together, the prices of those rough stones were naturally much cheaper. Dai Mingdao started to choose wool from the first store at the door. If he liked the material, he would write a big word "Lin" on the wool with a pen.
It means that this rough stone has been selected by him, and others cannot choose it again.
De Mingdao chose the wool very quickly. He quickly glanced at the wool and then wrote directly to make a deal. He was not like others who carefully studied each piece. He looked like a wealthy dandy trying to get lucky. He shook his head rigidly.
In just a few minutes, he went through all the raw stones and wool from the first store and selected five pieces to buy. These five pieces were all relatively small, three of which were without windows, and the two without windows.
One hundred, three thousand to open the window, the total cost is only six thousand six.
Demingdao did not buy a piece of rough window opening stone that the store owner highly recommended, which surprised Gang who was standing by. He came over and said: "Judging from the surface texture and the window opening color, that rough stone
It's quite good. Why don't you buy it? Do you think the price is too high? I can help you negotiate the price."
"Wu Gang, you are worrying too much. I don't know how to identify rough stones. Buying those five rough stones depends on feeling and luck. When I saw the window rough stone just now, I felt that it was not good, so I didn't buy it.
" Dai Mingdao said, packed up the woolen materials and walked to the next house.
In fact, the rough stone highly recommended by the store is not bad. There is a thin piece of "waxy seed" in the area where the window is open, and there are two other places in the other parts that are green. However, the size is too small and can only be used to make rings.
