Of course, half-gambled wool has a higher chance of getting jadeite, and the price is naturally much higher. A piece of coloring material about the size of Cuju costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Of course, if jadeite accounted for half of this material, the price would at least double or even more. It is not uncommon to get rich overnight in the stone gambling industry.
Dong Dali saw that Long Tianba hesitated, so he suggested: "We don't know much, why don't we go outside and have a look?"
Long Tianba's visit this time was approved by his father, so he carried a total of fifty thousand taels of bank notes. However, there are not many opportunities to choose between those window materials, semi-exposed materials and exposed materials. Especially among semi-clear and clear materials, there are not a few jadeite materials that cost hundreds of thousands or millions.
Long Tianba has experienced the value of emeralds before. The glass-type sun-green emerald pendant he gave to Young Master Dong was less than half the size of a palm, and it cost him more than 30,000 taels of silver. That piece of bright material, which is said to be emperor green, is as big as his head, and there are still dozens of pendants left to make. If it is made into a jadeite bracelet, it can be sold for a high price of millions.
After doing the math, setting a price of 1.5 million is not too dark! Didn't you see that piece of material was bought by someone as soon as it was released? And the person called Boss Liu was congratulated: "This piece of imperial green jadeite can make eight or nine pairs of bracelets, as well as some pendants and egg noodles. If you sell it, you can earn at least ten times the profit. , Shopkeeper Liu, you are too quick to act!"
"Acceptance, acquiescence!" Boss Liu hugged the emerald material joyfully, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. It is natural to have a quick eye and a quick hand to grab bright materials, or else wouldn't all the good materials be snatched away by others
Ten times the profit, wouldn't it be possible to earn more than 10 million taels of silver at once? Long Tianba's hesitant heart became active again.
However, he still cautiously followed Young Master Dong's suggestion, and went to the place in the yard where all the woolen materials were placed, to see how the woolen materials were selected. Young master Dong is quite well-known in the circle, otherwise those who seem to be very knowledgeable will give him a little bit of fluff and explain his doubts.
What betting on stones focuses on "color, species, and water", and what to look at in wool depends on leather shells, pine flowers, and python belts... Long Tianba sounds like a cloud, one head and two big.
Young master Dong seemed to be the same as him, half understanding but not understanding. In the end, he suggested: "Brother Long, how about... let's choose one or two of these kilograms of materials first, it's not expensive anyway, and you won't lose a few silver coins if it collapses..."
"It's risen! It's soared! It's the three-color jadeite of Fu Lu Shou!" Suddenly, there was a commotion at the place where the stone was dissected in the northwest corner, interrupting Young Master Dong's words. The two looked at each other and moved in that direction in unison.
A young man in his twenties, holding a piece of jade the size of a leather ball, smiled like a fool. That piece of jadeite has three colors of green, purple, and red. Even though it has not been polished, it still exudes a charming luster.
"Brother, can you sell the jade in your hand?" A middle-aged man with the appearance of a businessman stepped forward and asked.
"Sell! Of course!!" The young man looked like he was from an average family, and he could only be considered a middle-class man in terms of his clothes. Those who know him know that his family only opened two grocery stores in the north of the city, and it can only be said that the family is quite affluent. He didn't bring much money, and he only weighed one piece out of a kilogram of material, which only cost three hundred taels of silver. Who knew that it was a great luck, and the three-color jadeite of Fu Lu Shou was produced, which was not bad.
The middle-aged businessman took the emerald and looked at it, and said, "I'll offer thirty thousand taels of silver for this piece of emerald, what do you think?"
Thirty thousand taels of silver? Earn a hundred times in a short while? Long Tianba's jaw almost dropped in shock. The young man also flushed with excitement.
"Xiang Boss, you are not authentic in asking this price. You want to buy Fu Lu Shou with such a quality for 30,000 taels of silver?" Another fat old man with a long belly stroked his gray beard and said to the The young man said, "The old man has always done business without deception. Young man, I will offer fifty thousand taels."
The middle-aged man called Boss Xiang, did not expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "He offered 50,000, and I offered 60,000!!"
"Eighty thousand!" The fat old man continued to shout. Long Tianba knew this person. He was a well-known jewelry businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. He did not expect to come to the capital to purchase jadeite materials in person.
"I'll pay 100,000!!" This piece of material is made into a bracelet, and it will definitely sell for 200,000 to 300,000. If it is 100,000, you can make a small profit.
In the end, the material of Fu Lu Shou was bought by the fat old man at a price of 150,000. Jade jewelry has just emerged in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price is higher than that in the capital. After processing, the price of 150,000 yuan is less than 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. The reason why Boss Xiang didn't continue to compete with him was because of the geographical location. It is too close to the capital, and the price is suppressed by Zhiyuzhai.
"Three hundred taels of material, actually sold for 150,000... suddenly multiplied by 500 times!" Long Tianba muttered to himself, and the fire in his heart was about to burst out.
Young Master Dong sighed, and said: "If I can have such luck, even if I go back and get beaten up by my father, it will be worth it!"
"How about... let's try our luck?" Long Tianba thought, let alone three hundred taels, even if he was asked to invest three thousand taels, thirty thousand taels, he would be willing to get back 150,000 taels. If you don't win a piece, if you buy ten or a hundred pieces of material, can you still fail to win a piece? Isn't that too bad luck
Long Tianba and Young Master Dong each chose two yuan from the kilogram material, which totaled 1,600 taels of silver. Under Long Tianba's insistence, it was all the money he made. In addition, he casually selected a piece of woolen material priced at 5,000 taels from another pile of fully gambled materials, and took it together to decompose the stone.
The two pieces chosen by Master Dong cost more than 600 taels of silver. After they were untied, one was a white stone, and although there was emerald in the other, it was only as big as a baby's fist. Buckle is still possible. The value is estimated to be five hundred taels, which is not bad.
"Oh... bad luck, broke!" Master Dong sighed.
The old player on the side persuaded him: "It's not bad! Some people bought tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they didn't even fart! It's down to grandma's house!"
When it was Long Tianba's turn to interpret the stone, he was extremely nervous, his eyes were fixed on the utensil for interpreting the stone, his fists were clenched tightly, and his mouth was pursed until only a line remained.
"It's green!" Jie Shi's master cut it down, poured water on the section, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's red jade! The water is good, and it's grown!"
This piece of emerald wool was selected by him among kilograms, and it cost 800 taels of silver. When all the emeralds were unwrapped, they were as big as two fists, shining bright red in the sunlight.
"The color of this red jadeite is very pure, and it glows from the ice. That's right, young man, will you sell it for 20,000 yuan?" The middle-aged jade merchant surnamed Xiang squeezed over again and asked eagerly.
The white fat old man obviously recognized Long Tianba, walked over with a smile, and said, "Fourth Young Master Long, the old man paid 26,000 taels, look..."
"Old man Zhao, are you sincerely trying to make things difficult for me today?" Boss Xiang was so anxious that he almost jumped up and scratched him when he saw the fat old man coming to snatch business again.
"Don't sell it, don't sell it!! Is the young master the one who is short of tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Long Tianba started to cock his tail again, "I'm going back to make a pair of bracelets for my mother and my sister to wear this piece of jadeite." .”
"Fourth Young Master Long is really a good young man who is filial to his mother and loves his siblings. When you come back to the south of the Yangtze River, if you want to make a bracelet, you can ask me for half the processing fee!" The fat old man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.
When unpacking the second piece of wool, it collapsed without any accident, and it collapsed to the end without seeing any emerald. However, with this piece of red jadeite, even if the last piece is broken, he can still earn money today.
The last piece was the woolen material that he spent 5,000 taels on. A knowledgeable person looked at it, nodded and said: "The appearance is white sand grains, and the white sand shell is the size of salt. The jadeite that blooms is old and easy to shine. Intense green…”
Long Tianba grinned, watching Master Jieshi's every move.
"It's green, and it's green again! This is pure yellow sun green, and the planting water is at least above ice!" When the skylight was cut open, someone nearby shouted.
"Fourth Young Master Long, you're lucky! This one is definitely going up!" The old man surnamed Zhao looked envious. He also tried to buy a few pieces, but they all collapsed. This stupid boy actually won two yuan with a random purchase, his luck is simply against the sky.
"Haha! Young Master Dong, my younger brother says he understands a little bit, but he is actually just being modest. I have put in a lot of hard work in researching jadeite wool!" Long Tianba was so dragged that he didn't even know his last name.
"Brother Long is really amazing! Let's stop here today, I still have something to do, we brothers will meet again some other day." Young Master Dong rejected the other party's offer to give him the Huangyang Green Jadeite, and parted ways with him at the gate of Gambling Stone Workshop. up.
Looking at the back of Young Master Dong leaving, Long Tianba struggled a lot in his heart, and finally remembered his father's words, and went back to the inn to meet his father and report what happened today.
After he left, Young Master Dong reappeared in the Stone Gambling Workshop, and reported to his master: "My lord, the bait has been set, and we just wait for the little fish to take the bait!"
Zhu Yunxuan nodded, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a cold smile: "The bait this time is so tempting, I'm not afraid that idiot won't take the bait!"
After Long Tianba tasted the sweetness, he gradually forgot his father's advice. The more he appeared in the Gambling Stone Workshop, the more money he spent on woolen materials. At first, the wool he bought went up and down, with more ups and less downs. The value of the jade accumulated on hand exceeds ten million.
