At this time, Wu Shan was looking at Yang Qi with displeasure. He was humiliated by Yang Qi in the morning. As an old senior, how could Wu Shan swallow this? He knew that Yang Qi and his party must have come to Li's raw material shop, so he rushed over immediately.
Yang Qi frowned slightly when he heard this.
Gambling on stones is somewhat similar to antiques. When someone is in charge of the process, other people are not allowed to interfere. This is the industry rule for gambling on stones. Although Yang Qi is not a real master of gambling on stones, he is engaged in this industry after all, and he has some understanding of this industry rule.
This is just like malicious price-raising, which is shameful in the industry. If it gets out, your reputation will definitely be bad.
"I know the first come, first served rule, but I'm curious, who came first, you or me?" Yang Qi glanced at Wu Shan and said coldly.
"Boy, what do you mean?" Wu Shan's face darkened and he looked at Yang Qi coldly.
"You haven't handled this gambling stone to observe it. Could it be that the one you saw was you who came here first?" Yang Qi smiled coldly.
The first-come-first-served rule is the rule of the industry. If Yang Qi wants to gain a foothold in this industry, he must abide by it. But even if it is first-come-first-served, it does not mean that whoever Wu Shan says comes first will come first.
"Of course." Wu Shan sneered.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that all the gambling stones I saw in the rough stone shop were brought in by me first? Then this rough stone shop is opened for you alone." Yang Qi sneered.
"You..." Wu Shan's face turned red. As a gambling stone master, few people dared to compete with him for the gambling stones he liked, not to mention that Yang Qi didn't have any and hadn't gotten any. If it were someone else, they would definitely give him this face. Unexpectedly, Yang Qi actually brought up the fact that he didn't get any!
"Ah Hu, give me the gambling stone." Wu Shan said coldly with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, the sturdy man nearby quickly reached out to pick up the gambling stone on the ground.
However, just as the sturdy man was about to make his move, another hand took the gambling stone in his hand before the sturdy man did. It was Yang Qi who was standing beside him.
"Sorry, I'll go first!" Yang Qi said lightly.
“Hmph…” Upon seeing this, Wu Shan’s expression became extremely ugly. He could only snort coldly and turned away with his bodyguards.
"Old man, you want to compete with me!" Yang Qi curled his lips as he looked at Wu Shan who was leaving. If it was an ordinary gambling stone, he would be too lazy to compete with Wu Shan. However, this gambling stone contained the essence of heaven and earth, but it was a fake Yuan crystal. Now his wealth was limited, and it was impossible for him to go directly to a jewelry company to buy jadeite for cultivation.
This kind of raw material is not expensive and can not only satisfy his need for cultivation, but also his need to make money. How could he give up just because of Wu Shan's words
After some selection, there were nearly ten gambling stones in Yang Qi's cart. These gambling stones contained the vitality of heaven and earth, and they were at least glutinous jadeite.
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Yang Qi stopped selecting gambling stones and began to study them one by one. Although these gambling stones all contained jadeite, they were divided into glutinous, ice, and high ice types. It didn't matter if he used them himself, but he still needed to help Shen's Jewelry to gamble on stones.
You should know that the gambling stones at the exhibition range from tens of thousands to millions. If the jadeite that is gambled with millions is turned out to be only glutinous jade, it is not a big rise, but a big fall!
Simply judging whether jadeite is present or not cannot guarantee the rise or fall of high-end raw materials. A more precise judgment must be made.
“The heaven and earth vital energy inside these raw materials varies from one material to another. Some contain more, and some contain less. Some are purer, and some are more mixed.” In just a moment, Yang Qi was able to judge the difference between the raw materials.
“It seems that what determines the grade of jadeite is the purity level of its vital energy, and the amount of vital energy in heaven and earth determines the size of the jadeite.” Yang Qi quickly made a judgment based on his previous observations at Shen’s Jewelry.
"Yang Qi, you have selected so many gambling stones?" At this moment, Shen Yuxuan, who had already selected the gambling stones, walked over.
Compared to Yang Qi's nine gambling stones, Shen Yuxuan only had two gambling stones.
Gambling on stones is a science. It is not easy to judge the quality of a gambling stone at first sight. Not only does it involve a lot of gambling, so you have to be very careful when choosing a gambling stone. Even a gambling stone master needs an hour to make up his mind when choosing a gambling stone. Otherwise, those who choose a gambling stone casually, let alone betting on the increase in value, can only be considered good if they can get jadeite.
So even though one or two hours had passed, Shen Yuxuan had only picked out two gambling stones, which was really inefficient. Otherwise, the exhibition would not have given the guests three days to carefully observe the gambling stones on display, just to give them enough time to judge the gambling stones and make a decision.
It was also because of this that Yang Qi was able to select nine gambling stones in such a short period of time, which was far beyond Shen Yuxuan's expectations.
"I bought some of the ones that I liked. They're not worth much anyway, so it's a good opportunity to practice." Yang Qi said with a smile.
Shen Yuxuan nodded. She had also talked to Yang Qi and knew that Yang Qi did not have much experience in gambling on stones. It would be a good thing for him to practice more and verify his level of gambling on stones. Besides, the stones Yang Qi chose were not too expensive, so she didn't care much.
Yang Qi glanced at the two gambling stones in Shen Yuxuan's hands and found that one of them contained rich vitality of heaven and earth. According to Yang Qi's estimation, this gambling stone was probably of high ice grade, which could be considered high-end jadeite.
"Yang Qi, what's wrong?" Seeing Yang Qi stunned, Shen Yuxuan couldn't help but speak.
"It's okay. I think this gambling stone is good and should be able to produce jadeite." Yang Qi said with a smile.
"The quality of this gambling stone is indeed good, and Li Yun also likes it. He was the one who took me to see it." Shen Yuxuan said with a smile.
Li Yun
Yang Qi was stunned, and asked quickly, "How much did you buy this gambling stone for?"
"Sixty thousand." Shen Yuxuan said.
Sixty thousand yuan for a rough stone is not cheap, but Yang Qi is a little suspicious. This stone was given to Shen Yuxuan by the Li family. Although the Li family does not participate in the competition between the Shen family and the Liu family, don't forget that the relationship between the Li family and the Shen family is not ordinary. With the background of the Li family, it is no problem to help Shen Yuxuan a little.
"Let's stop talking about this and go cut the stones first. But you have so many gambling stones, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them in the morning." Shen Yuxuan said with a smile.
The Li family's rough material shop has its own stone-cutting machines, and there are quite a few of them, a total of ten, four of which are exclusively for VIPs. Shen's Jewelry has cooperated with the Li family for many years and is naturally a VIP customer of the Li family. He came directly to a stone-cutting machine.
"Mr. Shen is here to cut the stone too?" Li Yun, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he saw Shen Yuxuan and her group.
"Let Yang Qi solve it first." Shen Yuxuan glanced at Yang Qi and said.
Li Yun nodded, glanced at the cart beside Yang Qi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Nine gambling stones, selected in such a short time, was somewhat beyond his expectations. (To be continued)
