Stone gambling is a more exciting way to make money than stocks and securities.
When jadeite is first mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin and is called jadeite rough. The quality of the jadeite cannot be known to the naked eye. Only after it is cut by a professional craftsman can we know the quality of the jadeite.
It's like a lottery, you either win the big prize or you win the thank you for your patronage.
People who participate in stone gambling are known as "stone gamblers." If the stone gambler is knowledgeable, has good eyesight, and is lucky, he may be able to buy high-quality goods and become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire in an instant.
On the contrary, if you misjudge the goods and have bad luck, you will lose all your money and go bankrupt.
As the owner of the stone casino, Shen Ruyan is responsible for sending people to mine jadeite rough in the western mountainous area, and then transporting a large amount of jadeite rough to the stone casino for sellers to choose from.
If gambling on stones is a gambling game, then Shen Ruyan is the maker of the rules of the game, and all sellers must abide by her rules.
Since the mining cost of raw jadeite is low and the selling price is high, the stone gambling business is not only a sure profit, but also a huge profit.
Qin Feng just wants to make money and become the richest man in the world, so he takes a fancy to Shen Ruyan's stone gambling business.
"Sister Shen, I am very interested in stone betting and would like to participate."
"Of course, this is my place, you can play whatever you want, as long as you have fun."
Shen Ruyan smiled sweetly. Her mission today was to have fun with Qin Feng.
At this time, there was a lot of discussion around.
"Why did Boss Shen get together with a young guy?"
"I guess it's because I'm too lonely to have a little baby."
"A woman with such charm as Boss Shen is the best. That young man is being taken care of by Boss Shen. It must be very satisfying!"
Qin Feng also heard some rumors, and most people in the stone gambling den regarded him as Shen Ruyan's love interest.
Shen Ruyan said with some embarrassment: "Qin Feng, I'm sorry, my identity is relatively sensitive. In everyone's eyes, I am a single mother. When you and I go out on some occasions, you may be misunderstood."
Qin Feng shook his head and smiled: "Sister Shen, don't blame yourself. I don't care about other people's opinions. We can get along as friends."
Qin Feng's words were heart-warming. Shen Ruyan smiled in return, and her eyes looking at Qin Feng became gentler.
After squeezing into the crowd, Qin Feng did not rush to take action, but planned to wait and see first.
There are many sellers involved in stone gambling, but most of them will lose everything.
At this time, the master craftsman cut another piece of jadeite rough. There was no jadeite at all in the rough stone, indicating that someone had lost the bet again.
"Oh, I'm so unlucky today. I already bought seven or eight pieces of rough stone. I spent a total of 600,000 yuan, and I lost all of it!"
"Old Liu, I have spent more than one million, and I am worse off than you!"
"Even Wang Wansan, the stone gambling boss, has failed several times. It seems that everyone will lose everything today!"
…
There were sighs and complaints everywhere in the crowd.
Betting on stones is inherently risky, either you will get rich overnight or you will be in debt.
Qin Feng watched for a while and couldn't help but reveal his secret joy.
Perhaps gambling on stones is a kind of luck-based gambling for ordinary people, but for Qin Feng, it is child's play.
Qin Feng used his clairvoyance ability, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. His sight easily penetrated the shell of the original stone and saw the internal structure of the original stone.
Whether there is jade in the original stone or not, Qin Feng can tell at a glance that this is cheating!
And even if Qin Feng cheats, he won't be banned. Don't you think that's annoying
Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng turned on the "crow's mouth mode".
"Uncle, the rough stone in your hand is scrap and worthless."
"Brother, there is no jade in your rough stone. Remember to spend it next month."
"Auntie, don't expect this rotten stone to turn over."
"Old sir, don't touch gambling stones at your age, as it can easily lead to cardiac arrest. To be honest, the jadeite stone in your hand is also waste."
Qin Feng kept talking and quickly aroused public outrage.
As long as it is a rough stone that Qin Feng is not optimistic about, after being cut by the master craftsman, no jadeite will be found, and everyone will lose everything.
"Little brother, please open your mouth. You are really a crow's mouth!"
"You brat, who are you? If you dare to talk nonsense again and spoil my luck, I'll find someone to kill you!"
"Crow Zui, if you know what's going on, get out of here!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and surrounded Qin Feng, and the atmosphere gradually solidified.
Shen Ruyan hurriedly appeared. She blocked Qin Feng behind her and said loudly: "Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is my friend Shen Ruyan. His name is Qin Feng. I hope you can show some respect to my friend. It can be regarded as giving me face."
Shen Ruyan's name is still very loud. Even if everyone is aggrieved, they still have to give Shen Ruyan some face. But everyone still whispered, gossiping about Qin Feng and Shen Ruyan, and even insinuating that Qin Feng was the pretty boy kept by Shen Ruyan.
Qin Feng didn't care about this. He rolled up his sleeves and planned to show off his skills.
"Sister Shen, I'm done waiting and watching, and I plan to join in and play some betting on stones."
"Okay, there is a rough stone area next to it. You can choose any rough stone you want."
When everyone saw that Qin Feng wanted to participate in stone gambling, they all looked at Qin Feng with disgust and ridicule. They also badmouthed Qin Feng and concluded that Qin Feng could not produce jadeite.
Qin Feng walked to the rough stone area, which was divided into several grades. Cheap rough stones cost RMB 30,000 to RMB 40,000 per piece, mid-range rough stones cost over RMB 100,000, and high-end rough stones cost RMB 500,000 to RMB 600,000.
The higher the selling price of rough stones, the higher the probability of finding jadeite or even the best quality. The cheapest rough stones can hardly yield any jadeite. Most stone gambling players are accustomed to buying mid-range rough stones. If they are lucky, they can make a lot of money.
Qin Feng stared at the dazzling array of rough stones and used his clairvoyance ability again to have a panoramic view of the internal structures of all the rough stones.
Qin Feng could see at a glance which rough stone was scrap and which one contained emerald, and a devilish smile appeared on his lips.
Under the pessimism of everyone, Qin Feng first chose a rough stone priced at 35,000 yuan.
"The decision is yours."
Qin Feng asked the staff to move the rough stone to the master craftsman, intending to conduct cutting and appraisal.
Discussions arose one after another.
"Well, this young man must be stupid. He actually picked a rough stone of the lowest grade. How could he get an emerald?"
"Mr. Qin, it seems that you are an amateur. Low-grade rough stones are just scraps. You are humiliating yourself and making everyone laugh!"
"Want to find jadeite from low-grade rough stones? Gee, what a wishful thinking..."
"Boss Shen, your friend named Qin is so naive!"
The onlookers were all mocking Qin Feng, showing contemptuous smiles, planning to watch Qin Feng's jokes next.
Shen Ruyan looked at Qin Feng. She also felt that Qin Feng was a layman who gambled on stones, so she leaned over and whispered: "Qin Feng, low-grade rough stones are generally the same as scraps. It is estimated that they cannot be used to produce jadeite. Don't be too disappointed soon." .”
"Why should I be disappointed? The rough stone I picked contains two kilograms of glass jade. It's too late for me to be happy." Qin Feng said seriously.
