"The jadeite you have seen before are all finished products after cutting and polishing, but these are jadeite rough stones that have just been mined.
With the development of science, no matter how sophisticated the electronic equipment is, it cannot see through the rough material. We can only rely on experience and judge the quality of the jade inside based on the performance of the jade raw materials.
Gambling on jadeite is a way of trading jadeite raw stones, you can also understand it as an alternative form of gambling.
The raw stones are clearly marked with prices, and it all depends on your personal vision.
Gambling on price increases will make you rich overnight, while gambling on blood loss will make you lose everything. "
Yu Sheng deliberately slowed down her tone, making her voice sound light and soft.
Lu Xingchen was listening with great interest at the beginning, but when he heard the end, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Soon his slightly frowned brows relaxed.
Ordinary people might lose everything if they lose in gambling, but he was born in the Lu family, so the last thing he lacked was money.
And it sounds interesting.
He lowered his gaze to look at the gray and inconspicuous stones on the street. He was wondering whether he should buy two to play with, when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and his gaze met those dark eyes.
"So you brought me here specifically to gamble on stones?"
Lu Xingchen doesn't like reading, but he is not stupid.
The Lu family is wealthy and powerful enough to support him in his extravagance, ensuring that he lives in wealth and glory and has no worries about food and clothing, but they will never tolerate a gambler without any bottom line.
If he really gets addicted to gambling, all that awaits him is exile from his family.
So Yu Sheng wasn't after his money, but took other people's money to harm him?
Lu Xingchen was filled with extreme anger and a sense of humiliation at having been deceived.
Yu Sheng stretched out a finger and waved it in front of him, saying calmly, "No, you are wrong. I am here to gamble on the stones, but you need to pay for me. If the bet goes up, I will give you half."
Yu Sheng’s original plan was not to bring Lu Xingchen along.
But she had limited funds and the bank card under her name was under Yu Deyan's monitoring.
Once there is a large expenditure, it will definitely attract Yu Deyan's attention. She cannot break up with the Yu family now and can only seek help from outside forces.
Lu Xingchen, who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside and not short of money, is the best candidate she can find at the moment.
After hearing Yu Sheng's explanation, Lu Xingchen felt as if a hole had been pierced in his heart, and the accumulated anger flowed out.
Mingming used to hate others thinking about his money, but now when he heard Yu Sheng directly ask him to pay, he was not that angry.
Lu Xingchen felt that his mentality was not normal, so he pretended to be serious and said, "What if you lose?"
"I won't lose."
The mask covered Yu Sheng's face, making it impossible for Lu Xingchen to see her expression clearly.
But the strong confidence in her tone could not be concealed.
Lu Xingchen didn't know what he was thinking and agreed without thinking.
When he came to his senses, he was already following Yu Sheng and watching her choose stones.
Lu Xingchen: ...
After Yu Sheng dealt with Lu Xingchen, she shifted her attention to the raw stone materials placed on both sides of the road.
This street mainly sells jadeite raw stones.
Yu Sheng’s target is them.
Her sight fell on the nearest stall, her mind moved slightly, a barely perceptible golden light flashed in the black pupil of her right eye, and the scene before her eyes suddenly changed strangely.
The thick and rough outer shell of the original stone seems to disappear, and the inside is clearly visible.
All objects formed a complete three-dimensional pattern in Yu Sheng's eyes, and no trace could escape detection.
Yu Sheng's lips curled up.
Perhaps she died so tragically in her previous life that even God could not bear it, so not only was she reborn, but her right eye also underwent a strange change.
The raw stone that even machines cannot see through seems transparent in her eyes.
This is why she is so sure that she will not lose the bet.
Yu Sheng glanced at the stall in front of her and left decisively.
The raw materials in the jade market are both good and bad. She has seen several pieces of extremely high-quality jade, but the prices of those raw jade stones are very good and will not be low. She has limited funds now and just wants to make a small investment for a big return.
After walking past several stalls, Yu Sheng's eyes lit up and she stopped in front of a pile of scattered raw materials.
Finally found.
She squatted down to select the raw materials, and Lu Xingchen followed her example, squatting down and observing carefully.
In his eyes, those so-called jadeite raw stones were no different from the stones that could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and he soon looked away with a lack of interest.
"Little brother, do you think the raw materials here are not good enough? There are still many good ones in there. Can I introduce them to you?"
Lu Xingchen looked up and saw a man of medium build looking at him with a smile.
He curled his lips and looked away, "No need."
The man wanted to persuade her, but Yu Sheng stood up and interrupted him.
"Are you the boss? How much is this piece of raw material?"
The boss glanced at the selected pieces of raw material and opened his mouth to answer, but the words went around in circles. "One thousand yuan."
That pile of raw materials were the waste materials he got when he went to purchase raw materials. They were not worth much money, so he only sold them for two or three hundred yuan usually. Sometimes when business was bad, he would sell them for a hundred yuan.
He asked for a thousand yuan because he saw that Yu Sheng and Lu Xingchen were relatively young and looked like wealthy people, so he wanted to make a small profit from them.
Lu Xingchen didn't react much and thought the price was too low. Wasn't it said that there would be jade in it? Why was it so cheap?
Yusheng is different.
Mr. Yu was once a famous appraisal master in Yuncheng. He was best at appraising ancient jade and ceramics. He also ran an antique shop in Yuncheng Antique City.
Later, due to some old things, he left Yuncheng, returned to his hometown in Nancheng, and began to study jade carving again.
Yu Sheng has been with him since she was a child, and has been exposed to a lot of jade rough materials. She can roughly describe the common jade raw stones.
This kind of raw material, which could be called waste, was given to her in baskets for her to practice.
Yu Sheng: “Two hundred.”
"Two hundred? No! No! This is too low, I can't sell it! I can't sell it! Little girl, you're not the one who bargains like that! You have to let me make some profit!" The boss was heartbroken and kept complaining.
"Forget it if it doesn't work. The raw materials you have here are worth this price."
Yu Sheng remained unmoved.
She observed that the quality of the raw materials sold at this stall was average to low.
The piece she picked out was a complete accident.
Lu Xingchen looked hesitant.
The price of one thousand yuan was really not expensive in his opinion.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll give it to you, just consider it as making friends."
When the boss saw Yu Sheng was about to leave, he gritted his teeth and called her to stop.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
He was mistaken.
"Give me the money." Yu Sheng said to Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen responded and was still a little dazed when he gave the money.
It turns out it can be so much cheaper.
Lu Xingchen recalled that he had never bargained for money when spending money outside before. Wouldn’t that mean he was wasting a lot of money? Would those people think he was being taken advantage of?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed under his breath, "Fuck!"
"gone."
Lu Xingchen felt his hand sink, and when he looked down he saw a stone in his hand.
It's heavy, and the skin is rough and prickly.
A look of disdain appeared between Lu Xingchen's brows.
When he looked up again, Yu Sheng had already walked far away. The messy thoughts in his mind were instantly cleared, and he started to chase after her.
He had long legs, and in a few steps he was walking side by side with Yu Sheng. "Where are we going now?"
"To dissolve the stone."
"What does it mean to unravel the stone?"
“Taking jadeite out of the rough material is called stone cutting.” Yu Sheng explained to him patiently.
Lu Xingchen was shocked. "Is there really jade in this broken stone?"
Even if he didn't know much, he found it hard to believe that jadeite could be produced from such cheap raw materials. Wouldn't that mean everyone could get rich?
Yu Sheng curled the corners of her lips, "Untie it and you'll know."
Yu Sheng's ambiguous answer made Lu Xingchen a little dissatisfied.
His intuition told him that Yu Sheng must know the answer, and she was clearly just trying to fool him.
Lu Xingchen wanted to ask for clarification, but Yu Sheng suddenly said, "We have arrived at the place where the stone is cut."
In front of the two men was a wide square with five machines placed in the center.
At this time, the stone-breaking machine in the middle was in operation, and there were people surrounding it.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, followed by a collective sigh.
"It's black mist!"
"It's a big leap! A big leap!"
"What a pity! It was cut across!"
