"This piece of jade was the one I took a fancy to first."
Before Zhang Zifan opened his mouth, Bai Ling had already picked up the stone from the pile of stones. According to the unspoken rules of the stone gambling circle, when Bai Ling checked the betability of this stone and decided whether to buy it, the others Can't interfere.
What's more, Bai Ling decided to buy this stone when she picked it up, so why would she let it to Zhang Zifan
Huo Lao, the old man who introduced Zhang Zifan this time, looked at the other party's reckless behavior, just as if it was the other party's first time participating in stone gambling, and didn't understand the rules, so he hurried forward to stop him.
"Since this stone is the girl's favorite, Zifan, you can choose other stones you like."
In Huo Lao's view, two hundred pieces of stone are not worth gambling at all. Zhang's family is rich, so there is no need to rob a girl who looks like a student for a piece of waste stone.
The people who can come here today are all famous people, don't look at this little girl who is dressed in ordinary clothes, but who knows which family's junior, if you beat the young ones and come to the old ones, it will be troublesome.
"I really like this stone, so how about it, I will offer 20,000 yuan, please cede this stone to me."
In front of Jiang Qiao, Zhang Zifan behaved politely, but a person's temperament is difficult to change, and wearing a dragon robe is not like what the prince said. The affluent life of the past six months has made him more arrogant and arrogant. She was arrogant, and the arrogance in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Mr. Huo had personally witnessed Zhang Zifan pick up several leaks before, and he admired the opponent's ability very much. It is inevitable for him to be a little proud of his youth, so he can bear it.
Jiang Qiao couldn't do it anymore, she was not satisfied with the marriage arranged by her ancestors, and seeing Zhang Zifan throwing money at others, she just felt disgusted, her pink and white face became more and more cold as ice.
"This stone is also my fancy."
Bai Ling's eyes became brighter and brighter. That's it. Last time, this stupid second generation kept asking for the price. In the end, the jade hairpin was a treasure. Now it seems that there must be something good in this stone.
I don't know why, but Bai Ling has such a strange self-confidence.
"Fifty thousand, this price is enough to buy a stone with better quality."
Zhang Zifan frowned, for this stone, he was bound to get it.
In the novel, the hero finds countless treasures, but Zhang Zifan remembers where he found it, and the specific thing is the priceless jadeite in front of him that hides the high-ice imperial jade.
There are several chapters in the novel, which describe in detail the scene where the hero finds the piece of imperial jade. It is also because the jade was cut out of the pile of waste rocks for two hundred yuan, which makes the hero follow the antique circle. Once again, the reputation of gambling stone circle was established.
He remembered that the emerald that the male protagonist found was the largest of the two hundred yuan pile of stones, and it was the square next to the stone that most resembled a watermelon. Although the appearance of the stone was not good, except for the thin outer layer of leather , the inside is full of high-grade ice jadeite, the purity of the color is top-notch, and the large-scale jadeite is extremely rare, and it was auctioned on the spot for a sky-high price of more than 38 million yuan.
Zhang Zifan is now just a wealthy young man who is still studying in college and has his share of dry shares and pocket money among the bare-collar clan. Maybe one or two million can be spent, but tens of millions is not enough.
In the past six months, he has picked up some leaks, and he has also made money one after another, but he spent more. He originally thought that buying that piece of jade today would relieve the financial pressure, but who knew that someone would take the lead, so no matter what , Zhang Zifan wanted to grab that piece of jade.
"I'm sorry, but we chose this stone first. According to the rules, no matter how high your price is, this stone is also ours."
Yan Chu protected Bai Ling behind his back, and said to Zhang Zifan.
Although he hasn't had direct contact with this space-time destroyer in the past six months, he has been silently paying attention to the other party's actions. After all, his second mission is to make the original owner's original harem live in peace. Didn't his second mission fail
Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to be very popular with girls. Several times of contact with Long Ruofei and others were all unsuccessful.
"Not enough? I will offer one hundred thousand."
Zhang Zifan looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be more handsome than himself, and was very disdainful. What are the rules? Only those who are rich are qualified to set the rules. See what clothes and shoes he wears, and he doesn't look like a young master from a rich family. .
"Who brought this, do you know the rules?"
Because there was a lot of stalemate among a group of people, many people gathered around here, and after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, they all became disgusted with Zhang Zifan.
If the gambling stone is a famous brand or a secret auction this time, it is allowed for many people to take a fancy to a block at the same time and bid with each other. Now every block is marked with a price, and it will make people impatient.
Immediately, a jeweler stood up to speak for Bai Ling.
"I don't have anything here, but there are more good materials. Why don't you look at other stone materials?"
Zhang Zhi's uncle, Hao Dafu, was dragged by Zhang Zhi from the other side, fearing that his friend would be bullied by a rooster in her uncle's territory.
He always stretches his neck, raises his head high and squints at people, and looks smug. Except for the rooster Zhang Zhi, he can't think of other familiar animals.
The businessman made money with kindness, and although he was quite unhappy that Zhang Zifan was making trouble in his own territory and made himself ashamed in front of his niece, Hao Dafu immediately focused on reconciliation.
"You are the boss here, she hasn't paid for that stone yet, I'm asking for 200,000 yuan, is this price high enough?"
In Zhang Zifan's opinion, there is no businessman who doesn't love money. He doubled the two hundred yuan of stones by 1000 times, so he must be very happy.
If someone who is familiar with Hao Dafu is here at this time, he should be able to see that although he is smiling now, he is already angry.
He, Hao Dafu, has been in the jade business for so many years, and he speaks for himself in the entire jewelry raw material circle, but no one has ever made him face like this. Who brought this idiot on earth.
"Zifan, Boss Hao doesn't have that rule here. Since all the jade materials are clearly priced, if there is a buyer, no matter how high the price is, it won't be easy to sell."
Huo Lao's face was ugly, Zhang Zifan was brought by him, and it was actually his face that he lost.
I used to think that although this child is arrogant, he has some talent and can be cultivated as a young and middle-aged force in the antique circle. Now it seems that the other party has a temper that does not look at others. Sooner or later, he will cause big trouble. It's better to clarify the relationship.
"I'll offer one or two million. If Miss Wei is willing to offer such a price, I'll give it up."
In Zhang Zifan's previous life, he was fed up with other people's winks, from the workshop director, from the workers, who have the right to despise himself, but in this life, after he became a rich man and got the gold finger against the sky, Zhang Zifan didn't want to wrong him anymore .
There are always many cannon fodder characters on the protagonist's road to success. Zhang Zifan feels that the fat man in front of him and those people pointing at him are those cannon fodder who have not played many times.
"Sir, I don't welcome you here, so please leave."
Hao Dafu's face was completely pulled down, and he made a gesture to Zhang Zifan to ask him to leave.
If he, Hao Dafu, really compromised for two million today, he would have smashed his own brand. Unless he didn't want to hang out in the stone gambling circle, it was absolutely impossible to help Zhang Zifan break the rules of the stone gambling circle.
"Boss Hao, for my sake, forgive Zifan this time, it's his first contact with this circle, and he hasn't figured out many rules, so I'll tell him well."
Mr. Huo really doesn't want to talk to this young man who has been taught repeatedly, but he invited him here. If he is really kicked out, I'm afraid he won't have the face to appear in this circle again.
All the people present today are dignitaries in the jewelry industry. Zhang Zifan's behavior offended more than half of the people. Let's talk about it after he takes over the Zhang family.
Jiang Qiao didn't speak during the whole process, she just looked at her fiancé's joke secretly. She hoped that Hao Dafu could really drive Zhang Zifan out, so that when she wanted to get rid of this marriage contract that she didn't accept, she would have more trouble. Somewhat sure.
Her eyes flicked across Bai Ling and Yan Chu, who was protecting her in an inconspicuous protective posture, and it could be seen that they seemed to be an ordinary young couple.
A hint of envy and self-deprecation flashed in Jiang Qiao's eyes. Such sincere feelings are really a luxury for a person like her.
If Zhang Zifan is useful, she may still be willing to make false claims with the other party to increase her voice in the Jiang family. However, this man has become more and more brain-dead during these days, leaving the Zhang family's great foundation alone. Among the simple antiques, I didn't see the other party making any great achievements. If I bought two or three antiques a month, the combined price was only the pocket money of their birth for a month or two.
Furthermore, the person Jiang Qiao sent to watch Zhang Zifan reported that in the past six months, the other party frequently went to certain "entertainment venues", watching the other party's affectionate performances in front of her, which must be her performance, Jiang Qiao was a little bit thinking. threw up.
The eldest lady of the Qinglong gang had already come to warn her that if she didn't look down on her fiancé and asked him to harass her again, he would break his third leg.
Jiang Qiao hopes that this day will come soon, so that the family will re-examine whether letting her, the daughter of the Jiang family, marry a Zhang family son who is destined to be sterile can bring enough benefits to the Jiang family.
Zhang Zifan never thought that Hao Dafu would directly ask him to leave, does he know who he is
"Since Mr. Huo has pleaded for him, then I will forgive him this time, but if he breaks the rules of my gambling shop again, don't blame me, Hao Dafu, for not being sympathetic."
Huo Lao's reputation in the stone gambling industry is mediocre, but he is still well-known in the antique circle. When the other party pleaded for mercy, Hao Dafu couldn't make things right.
That's more than 30 million, Zhang Zifan wanted to speak again in heartache, but Mr. Huo hurriedly pulled him aside, not giving him a chance to speak again.
"Enough, there are so many stones here, why are you obsessed with a piece of stone that the little girl has already taken a fancy to? With so many people present, don't you want to give others the impression that you bully others and don't know the rules?"
Old Huo said to Zhang Zifan with a headache, looking at him in particular, he lost his patience and appreciation for him even more.
When the other party said this, Zhang Zifan also realized that he was too obvious. Once the stone turned green, he might also arouse suspicion from others. Although he was still not reconciled, he still endured it.
But this time, he completely remembered the two faces of Yan Chu and Bai Ling. Before the 180,000 yuan, Mr. Zhang, who suddenly became rich, didn't pay much attention to it. This time, it was more than 30 million yuan. No heartache.
"Xiao Ling, I was scared just now. Don't worry, don't say anything else. In this site, I can still make decisions. As long as you don't violate the rules of the stone gambling circle, you can play with confidence."
Hao Dafu felt quite embarrassed. The first time his niece's friend came to play, he met such a fool. Don't think that those who gamble with stones are all that kind of rubbish.
"Uncle Hao, we can't take this stone for nothing. You also said that there are rules for betting on stone circles. If we don't pay for it, something will happen again."
The selected gambling stones are all paid on the spot, and the cash can be swiped at will. Yan Chu directly took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the accountant next to Hao Dafu.
Following Yan Chu's gaze, Hao Dafu also saw Zhang Zifan who was still staring at the stone in Bai Ling's hand with burning eyes, and immediately became more tired of that garbage. Who on earth raised such an insignificant thing? .
"Well, Uncle Hao won't be polite to you anymore."
He also knew that it was more appropriate to collect the two hundred yuan now, and if the jade was not issued, he would ask his niece to return the money at that time.
"Uncle, I'll give you money too."
Zhang Zhi also joined in the fun. She chose the gourd-shaped stone that Bai Ling had tangled up just now, and handed the two hundred yuan to her uncle with a jump.
"This little girl."
Hao Dafu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and handed over the money to the accountant, anyway, he would just give her a little more pocket money when the time comes.
"Uncle, hurry up and take us to cut this stone. I have a hunch that there will be green out of it."
Zhang Zhi was so excited, Hao Dafu didn't want to beat him, he asked his master craftsman to examine this piece of jade carefully, it was all leftovers from jade cutting and some materials with extremely poor quality, even if it could turn out green, then It is also the worst kind of glutinous or bean seeds, and most of them are stones.
Zhang Zhi didn't care, this was her first time betting on stones, and she was looking forward to it.
The people who watched the scramble for the stone just now saw that Bai Ling was going to free the jade in his hands, and they all crowded around curiously. Although this is a piece of jade that is not highly gambled, there was a fool who was willing to spend two million on it just now. To grab this block of material is enough to make this piece of jade attractive that other jade materials do not have.
They all wanted to see what kind of jade Zhang Zifan could get out of the jade that Zhang Zifan wanted just now.
"Miss, how do you plan to cut this piece of jade?"
Jade material the size of a football is not too small, so Shijie's master asked Bai Ling to draw a cutting line.
"Can you explain the stone like that gentleman just now?"
Bai Ling thought that the person who removed the stone before her rubbed it with another tool, and it seemed that the damage to the jade was relatively small. It's also her first time playing this game, so she's not sure what to say.
Scrubbing is very time-consuming, and it is completely unnecessary for the waste of two hundred yuan, but Bai Ling was brought by the boss Hao Dafu, and the stone-cleaning master didn't say anything, just took the tools and started to clean the stone. He wiped his mouth.
"It's green, and the water head is still high ice."
In just a few minutes, the tool made a small hole in the stone shell. The stone-cleaning master's eyes were very sharp. He stopped when he saw the greenery almost at the same time, poured water on that side, and picked up the stone. A flashlight shines in.
The green light flashed in the hearts of all the onlookers at once.
Among so many people, only Zhang Zifan had a clear pain on his face, Jiang Qiao happened to notice this scene inadvertently, and hid doubts in her heart.
Zhang Zifan's behavior seemed to be that he knew what was in the jade material, something was wrong
Jiang Qiao wondered if she was thinking too much, but this question was still buried in her heart after all.
"Ice emperor green, I haven't seen such a good water head in many years. Even if it's just a piece the size of a fingernail, you'll make a lot of money, little girl."
All the jewelers were excited. They came here not only to gamble on stones, but also to purchase high-quality jade unearthed by others to provide supplies for their own jewelry stores.
In recent years, there are fewer and fewer high-end jade materials, and there is almost no piece of high-quality ice jade material, which is the existence of competition between you and me.
"I'll offer one million, little girl, you've already made a lot of money. If you cut it down, you won't be able to sell it at this price."
It's just a skylight, the possibility of uncertainty is very high, someone bids to lobby Bai Ling immediately.
"You are too timid. The young man over there just now wanted to spend two million on this piece of jade. I offered three million to take a gamble."
A group of jade merchants competed to open their mouths, pushing the price up to 4.5 million, which is already a good price for jade that is now half-made.
"Yan Chu."
Bai Ling has never been such a big master before. If you don't cut it down, you will get 4.5 million.
She couldn't make up her mind and looked at Yan Chu nervously.
"If you want to sell it, you can sell it. If you don't want to sell it, let's cut it down. If it breaks down, the piece of jade exposed now is big enough to make a pair of rings. It's just an engagement ring."
Yan Chu held Bai Ling's hand to let her relax, "Think about it, we bought this for two hundred yuan, and even if it collapsed, we still earned a pair of rings. It's a happy thing."
His open-minded attitude made many onlookers look sideways. In the circle of gambling stones, there are not a few people who are red-eyed and bankrupt. There are really few people like the other party who understate a jade material worth several million. .
Could it be that the other party was born so rich that he didn't care about four or five million
But looking at the other party's attire, and his little girlfriend's behavior just now, she doesn't look like a rich man.
Among them, Hao Dafu knew Yan Chu the best. He had heard from his niece that she was a friend who had a relationship with a parent, and he knew the situation in the other's family.
Thinking about his mentality at the other party's age, Hao Dafu felt that Yan Chu was a man to be made, at least in terms of mood, there was something he could learn from.
"Then continue to cut down, I want to cut it all out."
With Yan Chu's consolation, Bai Ling immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Although it would be hard to avoid facing the gap between millions and hundreds of thousands, as Yan Chu said, think about this piece of jade. It cost two hundred yuan to buy it, so it doesn't seem so sad.
Besides, with Zhang Zifan's previous performance, Bai Ling has great confidence in this piece of jade.
She felt that Zhang Zifan might be the lucky star who gave her money.
Many jewelers who are still on the sidelines feel that Bai Ling's idea of wanting to cut everything is quite good. The money he earns is not as much as the bet, but at least there is no risk. What he earns is the difference between the craftsmanship fee and the resale price. The price of jade is priceless, and it is possible to double the price of imperial jade with a high ice variety when it meets a buyer who likes it.
"It's incredible."
As the jade coat was wiped away bit by bit, everyone's mouths grew bigger and bigger, and they were stunned by this jadeite that only had a layer of stone on the surface, but the inside was full of jade.
The jade, which is a circle smaller than the prototype, exudes a warm and translucent luster without any blemishes. It is as green as a green spring, which can be turned into water at any time. I haven't seen such a good jade in more than ten years. In the pile of jade materials worth a hundred dollars.
No one knows whether Hao Dafu is so regretful, but on the surface he is still very stable.
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-two million."
The jewelers bid one after another, and many even picked up their mobile phones to call the company's real masters, or the finance company, to see how much liquidity the company could withdraw. They were all jealous of this piece of jade.
"Twenty-eight million."
"thirty million."
As the quotations were called out one by one, Bai Ling felt that her heart, which had been tense just now, was about to jump out of her throat even more.
Thirty million, how many zeros are there after it? My mind is all messed up.
"Thirty-five million."
"Thirty-six million."
"Thirty-six and a half million."
The higher the amount, the fewer people will add, and the more cautious the price is called out every time. In the end, only two internationally renowned jewelry companies are bidding.
"Thirty-seven million."
This is the highest price that Company L can offer. Some time ago, the company imported a batch of jade from Myanmar, and there was not much cash left for this purchase. For this rare piece of jade, they are afraid that they will return home without a feather.
"Thirty-eight million."
Sure enough, when the budget was running out, another company called out its own additional offer and ended the bidding.
Ever since Yan Chu took on the important task of making lunch for the two of them, Jin Xiujuan asked her son to apply for a bank card, and his and Bai Ling's food money was put into the card for easy access at any time, so the more than three thousand Wan, it was called into Yan Chu's account immediately.
After that, Zhang Zhi's little gourd also sold jade material, but it was not as good as Bailing's, it was between ice seed and bean seed, the jade material was not big, but it was sold for 20,000 yuan.
Tens of millions of jade stones were mined out of the two hundred yuan worth of waste, and everyone present was crazy, wishing to round up all the jade materials in the factory, hoping to produce better jade materials.
Hao Dafu felt sorry for the emperor jade that had run away from under his nose, but he was also happy that his jade material was affirmed. One plus and one minus made it not so sad.
The workshop suddenly became lively, the sound of cutting jade materials could be heard endlessly, and the sound of people coming and going was everywhere, fearing that it would be too late, and all the good stones would be picked up.
Zhang Zifan had been thinking hard on the spot, but suddenly, inexplicable panic flashed in his eyes.
He remembered the familiar name of Yan Chu. Isn't this the male protagonist in the novel? He took away the other party's abilities, why did he appear here, and took away the piece of jade that made him famous.
Zhang Zifan's eyes were fixed on Yan Chu, and his body couldn't help shaking.
Could it be that the hero's aura is so powerful, and he also has a golden finger that he doesn't know about? No, he has to go back and investigate this man carefully.
Ignoring the fiancée he was pursuing, Zhang Zifan ran away and threw Jiang Qiao in the stone gambling venue.
