The trade fair and the exhibition were not held in the same place. The exhibition was held in the exhibition center in Jiangzhou City. The exhibition center was built like a palace, which left a very deep impression on Ji Feng.
However, the trade fair is different, because they are all jadeite rough stones, and some are even large stones weighing several tons. It is definitely inappropriate to hold them in an exhibition center. Therefore, this trade fair was held in a factory warehouse compound in a suburb not too far from the university town.
Of course, a temporary wall more than three meters high has been built around the warehouse, and there are a lot of security forces, so it is considered safe. In fact, everyone knows that except for those rough stones that are too small in size, most rough stones are heavy in weight, and it is really difficult to steal them.
Even so, Ji Feng still couldn't find the location of the trade fair in time. After all, it was already a suburb, so Ji Feng could only take a taxi there.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning when we arrived outside the factory warehouse. At this time, there were already many people at the fair looking back and forth at the rough stones placed in the yard.
Among them, many people were together in twos and threes, and many even held magnifying glasses in their hands, as if they wanted to carefully observe the rough stones.
In fact, the so-called rough stone trade fair is a huge gamble, which is what people in the industry call stone gambling.
If a rough stone shows some quality, it may be a bit of a gamble. However, for those who have no abnormality at all, it is really a gamble to buy a rough stone that is just a big stone.
It is said that until now, there is no instrument that can detect whether there is jade in this stone. Therefore, relying solely on eyesight and experience is obviously not too safe, and it also depends on a certain amount of luck. This is no different from gambling.
It was the first time to participate in such a trade fair, and Ji Feng seemed a little excited. Anyone who has the clairvoyance to see through stones cannot remain completely calm when faced with such an opportunity.
However, Ji Feng remained as calm as ever on the surface. He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, a pair of casual leather shoes, a sports watch on his wrist, and a satchel on his body. At first glance, he looked like a man again. An ordinary student, inconspicuous in this bustling crowd.
This is exactly what Ji Feng wants. He doesn't want people to notice him. At least, he can't let people notice his abnormal behavior. Otherwise, it might cause some trouble.
In order to avoid letting others see that he was an amateur, Ji Feng looked at the rough stones that almost filled the yard. He did not rush forward to check, but quietly paid attention to the actions of others.
Ji Feng noticed that there were many boss-like people in the yard, all with a few subordinates, leisurely inspecting the rough stones. Most of the time, one or two of his slightly older people would first walk around the jade stone to check the general situation.
If I encounter a stone that may contain jade, I will use a magnifying glass to examine it carefully, and then negotiate with the owner who sells the rough stone.
After seeing several people doing this in a row, Ji Feng suddenly realized that the people responsible for looking at the rough stones should be the experts invited by the boss, or people with more experience in this field. The rough stones purchased in this way are of great value. Jade is more likely.
According to Ji Feng's understanding, if the purchased rough stone contains jade and its value is higher than the price of the original stone, it means that the bet has gone up; otherwise, the bet has failed.
These bosses obviously didn't want to gamble themselves away, so they brought in these experienced people.
Seeing this, Ji Feng couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't rush to see the rough stones. Otherwise, others would know that he was an amateur at a glance, and then the price would not be so easy to say.
Ji Feng immediately turned around and walked out of the trade fair compound. When he came in, he remembered that there seemed to be someone selling magnifying glasses at the door. Even if he was just pretending, he had to pretend to be a little more convincing, at least when it came to bargaining.
However, Ji Feng bought a magnifying glass and as soon as he returned to the door, he suddenly noticed a fat figure bumping into him at an angle. Ji Feng reacted quickly and suddenly took a step back to dodge.
"boom!"
The fat figure staggered for a moment, swayed a few times, and then stabilized his figure.
"Husband, are you okay?" A voice that was so loud that it made people's skin crawl all over suddenly sounded next to him. Then, a red-haired woman quickly walked over and supported the fat figure.
Ji Feng was suddenly stunned. Aren't these two people Hu Xuehui's sister and brother-in-law
He immediately turned his gaze to the side, and happened to see Hu Xuehui with the same stunned look on his face.
"It's true... the road between enemies is narrow!" Ji Feng said this in his mind. He glanced at Hu Xuehui lightly, as if he were looking at a stranger, and then walked into the yard.
"Boy, stop!" Hu Xuehui's brother-in-law shouted angrily, and took a few steps to Ji Feng, blocking his way.
Ji Feng's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he immediately smelled the smell of alcohol. Obviously, this man seemed to be hungover.
"Boy, why didn't you help me just now? Damn it, if I fall, you will be responsible!" Hu Xuehui's fat brother-in-law said cursingly.
Ji Feng's face darkened: "Try to curse again?!"
Nowadays, Ji Feng is already very powerful. With his serious face, a majesty suddenly appeared, which made the man startled. After looking at Ji Feng for a long time, he did not dare to say another word.
"snort!"
Ji Feng snorted coldly, looked at the man with disgust, turned and left.
"Oh shit!"
It wasn't until Ji Feng walked away that Hu Xuehui's brother-in-law finally realized what he was doing. He felt ashamed when he thought that he was frightened by Ji Feng's look.
"Damn brat, if you dare to offend me, Wu Changqun, you will be dead!" Wu Changqun, a fat man with big ears, became angry with shame and couldn't help but curse.
"Hubby, that person just now seems familiar. Have we seen him somewhere?" Hu Xuehui's sister asked doubtfully.
"Sister, brother-in-law, that person just now was Ji Feng!" Hu Xuehui said.
"What?!"
Hu Xuehui's sister immediately shouted, "That poor boy? How dare he talk to your brother-in-law like this?"
"I can't spare him!" Wu Changqun snorted angrily.
But Hu Xuehui's eyes showed a thoughtful look. The momentum Ji Feng showed just now was really impressive!
But in the blink of an eye, Hu Xuehui shook her head in disdain. No matter how strong the momentum was, it couldn't be eaten as a meal. Money was the most important thing.
Just like me, because my brother-in-law is rich, I don't even need to participate in military training, but other students are still suffering from training!
Hu Xuehui felt so unhappy. At the same time, she was also stunned. How could Ji Feng appear here? Logically speaking, he should also be in military training now, right
Without thinking much, Hu Xuehui followed her sister and brother-in-law into the trade fair.
What just happened did not have much impact on Ji Feng. At this time, he was holding a magnifying glass in his hand and looking carefully in front of a rough stone. In fact, his eyes had already passed through the magnifying glass and the outer skin of the stone. Saw the interior.
Ji Feng shook his head slightly in his heart. Inside this stone, there was just a green mist-like thing. It was obvious that the stone was dug out too early and the jadeite had not yet formed inside.
Ji Feng remained calm and looked at the other rough stones.
There are hundreds of stalls like the one Ji Feng is looking at now in the entire factory warehouse compound. The yard is also very large, so Ji Feng cannot look at them one by one. He just asks Zhi Feng to look at them one by one. The brain activates the bioelectricity, and when he comes to a stall, he first glances at it. If there are stones worthy of attention, he will take a serious look at them.
"Boss, how can I sell this rough stone?" Ji Feng pointed to a half-man-high rough stone in front of him. There was a thin layer of green mist on the outside of this rough stone. It looked to be in good condition, but Ji Feng knew , in fact there is nothing inside. In fact, what he was interested in was the rough stone the size of a millstone next to it.
Although he has never done business, Ji Feng also knows that the more he likes a piece of rough stone, the less likely he is to reveal any clues, otherwise, the boss will ask for a high price!
The boss is a man in his forties and dressed very ordinary. He glanced at Ji Feng, frowned and said, "Little brother, are you still a student? This rough stone is not cheap. You..."
Ji Feng naturally understood what he meant. He was worried that he could not afford it.
"The boss always has to tell you the price first!" Ji Feng said with a smile.
"Seven hundred thousand!" Seeing Ji Feng's unwillingness to give up, the boss couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said with a smile.
Ji Feng was speechless. The money he had on him was not even one-tenth of the price.
"I really can't afford it!" Ji Feng was a little downcast and a little unwilling to give up. He pointed to the smaller rough stone next to him: "What about this one?"
"One hundred and thirty thousand!" The boss was a little impatient. In his eyes, Ji Feng definitely couldn't afford it.
"Boss, is this too expensive? The rough stone just turned green. It's not too much for you to ask for 700,000, but there is nothing for this piece. It's too much of a gamble. You still want 130,000?" Ji Feng immediately started arguing.
"I said, little brother, do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, please don't make trouble, okay?" The boss didn't even bother to argue with Ji Feng.
Just when Ji Feng was about to speak, he heard a voice next to him suddenly: "Boss, this is just a poor boy. His family usually makes a living by selling vegetables. How can he afford it?"
Ji Feng frowned, and he knew who was speaking without looking back.
Wu Changqun, Hu Xuehui's brother-in-law, walked over slightly unsteadily, with a look of disdain on his face.
