Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

Everyone was dressed differently, and their gazes were all different. Some were curious, while others were wary and cautious. Han Chunming smiled softly and walked in.

This calm demeanor made many people look surprised, and they secretly wondered where Han Chunming came from.

After entering, Han Chunming found a seat and watched quietly.

The hall is very large, with more than twenty high-legged tea tables placed in the center.

There are two chairs on each coffee table, facing each other.

At this moment, there were about five chairs around the coffee table occupied, one or two.

There are objects on the coffee table.

Obviously, they were being used for trading. Some tables were even being eyed by the palmswain.

After observing for a while, those people no longer paid attention to Han Chunming, but walked around and looked at the objects on the coffee table.

Not long after Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan sat down, other people came in from the gate.

Almost one after another.

Some travel alone, while others, like Han Chunming and Tang Qingshan, come in groups.

There were also a few people who were carrying items with them. As soon as they arrived, they sat on the chairs next to the coffee table and put out the goods.

Then he sat there silently, waiting for people to come and look at the goods. As more and more people came, the hall soon became lively.

Seeing that there were more than ten people displaying goods, Han Chunming winked at Tang Qingshan, and the two of them stood up and looked towards the coffee table in the middle.

As soon as he stood up, he heard a cry of surprise coming from the coffee table in the middle.

Soon, people gathered around him. Tang Qingshan couldn't help but look surprised.

This kind of scattered market is different from the ghost market. Only experts in the industry can enter.

Even if they are not, they will bring experts to help them judge the quality. So, they all know the rules.

Since you understand the rules, you should know that this kind of scattered game should be bought secretly and not made public.

The scene before my eyes was a little weird.

Tang Qingshan looked at Han Chunming. He couldn't afford to run an antique bureau of this level.

Therefore, he came here tonight just to watch the fun, and all actions would depend on Han Chunming's command.

Han Chunming nodded, and the two of them moved over.

At this moment, the coffee table was already surrounded by people, all of whom were gasping in surprise and exclaiming in shock.

In this situation, you can imagine how ordinary the items on the coffee table are. Han Chunming is tall and straight, which makes him stand out from the crowd.

Although I was standing in the back row, I could see clearly that there were two stones on the coffee table.

There are two of them, one large and one small. The large one is very round, with a diameter about the size of a basketball.

The surface is dark, and the most attractive thing is the window cut at the top.

What meets the eye is a breathtaking expanse of green. The alluring emerald green seems to be more dazzling than the stars! Gambling on stones! Jadeite!

Is this... the legendary emerald? Han Chunming's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

In fact, it can be traced back to a very long time ago.

However, it was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it really became popular. Strictly speaking, this is not considered an antique business.

However, due to the precious value of jadeite and the gambling nature of "even gods cannot tell the quality of jade", it has a natural fit with the antique industry.

Therefore, in this era, most of the people who participate in gambling on stones are people in the antique business.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see jade in this scattered game.

What's remarkable is the stunning quality of this stone. The jade market of this era wasn't as mature as it is today, and preferences were different.

It also follows the preference since the late Qing Dynasty, emphasizing color over water content, and especially admiring emeralds.

And this stone in front of me, that window... is full of emeralds! Combined with the size of this stone.

The people present could no longer contain their excitement. The rules of gambling on stones were different from those of antique trading.

There was no taboo for onlookers to discuss openly, it was all about the lively gambling.

Soon, someone stepped forward, put his hands together and asked, "Are you going for copper or for goods?"

This is another jargon used in the antiques business. "Tong" refers to ancient copper coins, and "wu'er" refers to objects.

Therefore, this question actually asks whether the seller of the jade is planning to sell it for money or to barter.

This is the premise of transactions in the antique business. Unless you are selling antiques at a stall, you have to ask this question.

Otherwise, if you go up and ask the price, it will be easy to make a fool of yourself.

After all, for many people who collect antiques, the rarer the items, the more they like to exchange them for other items, rather than the price.

"Tong'er!" the seated vendor responded. Only then did everyone notice his presence!

He is a short middle-aged man with dark skin, thick lips, and a very calm appearance.

"Okay!"

Hearing that it was for sale, many people came over to take a closer look.

Some people even took out small flashlights and looked at the jade carefully.

Tang Qingshan, who was beside Han Chunming, also seemed very excited and asked Han Chunming quietly: "Chunming, have you ever played gambling stones?"

"No!" Han Chunming shook his head.

In my previous life, I have read quite a few related novels and watched quite a few TV dramas, but they were artistic in nature after all, and were very different from the real gambling on stones.

"Oh!" Tang Qingshan nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

In his heart, he still hoped that Han Chunming could appraise this jade.

The best thing would be to join the competition for this jade.

Han Chunming smiled secretly in his heart: "Brother, although I have never played it, I have a cheat!"

Immediately, he activated the god-level identification technique and looked at the jadeite.

After the god level, the god level identification technique can have a penetrating effect.

Soon, the identification information of this jade appeared in Han Chunming's mind.

Han Chunming was shocked and almost exclaimed in surprise.

It turns out that this whole piece of jadeite raw stone only has two fingers thick jadeite at the window.

Moreover, these jades have poor water content and are covered with many tiny cracks as you go deeper.

Judging from the situation, I’m afraid they can’t even make jade brands, let alone bracelets.

At most, a few ring faces can be produced.

The effect of the water head is probably difficult to reach the effect of emerald.

This is exactly what the saying goes, all that glitters is rotten inside!

It can also be seen from this that the person who opened the window is definitely a top-notch expert in gambling on stones.

This cut was simply too exquisite. Just as Han Chunming sighed and was about to look away.

With a casual glance, I happened to see the small piece of wool next to it.

This piece of wool has a jet-black outer surface and is only the size of two fists.

It looked very strange, with a huge crack visible to the naked eye in the middle!

This kind of old crack is one of the most feared situations in gambling on stones.

Because even if there is good water quality inside, it is easy for dirt to enter through this big crack, causing the water quality to deteriorate.

What's more, compared with the stunning full window emerald next to it, this one is simply an ugly duckling!

Even Han Chunming thought that the seller deliberately used this piece of rough material to set off the big piece.

It was just a subconscious glance. But that one glance made Han Chunming suddenly shocked!

My breathing was frozen for a few seconds, and my eyes widened! This... is too unbelievable!

After a few seconds of shock, Han Chunming finally reacted and quietly looked around.

Fortunately... almost everyone's attention was focused on the raw stone, and no one noticed him.

Han Chunming's mind raced as he began to ponder.

While Han Chunming was thinking, those who had looked at the goods had already started bidding.

A plump, white man was the first to speak: "Two thousand!" "Hiss!" This opening price made many people gasp!

This also discouraged many people who were ready to join in.

But just as the price came out, another voice rang out: "Two thousand five!"

This time, another five hundred was added!

Seeing this, Han Chunming knew that there would definitely be a bloody storm, so he just started to watch the fun.

"Three thousand!"

"Three thousand five!"

"Five thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

Soon, the price broke through 10,000. This was 10,000 in 1980!

Many people were breathing heavily. At this point, there were only two people competing. One was the plump, white man who had spoken first.

The other was a man in a suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His accent was clearly that of Hong Kong. Ultimately, the Hong Kong man with the glasses, who was wealthy and generous, bought the rough stone for 13,800 yuan. The plump, middle-aged man looked unwilling to accept the loss.

But I had to give up. There was no other way. After all, the other party was a wealthy man who came back from Hong Kong!

You have to know that with a price of over 10,000, it would be difficult to make a profit even if you could produce a few emerald bracelets.

But in Hong Kong, the situation is completely different.

After all, the current prices in the mainland are simply incomparable to those in Hong Kong.

The jewelry industry in Hong Kong is much more prosperous than that in the mainland! The seller was very satisfied with the price! He nodded to the man with glasses and agreed.

The man with glasses nodded to a man behind him carrying a metal box.

Immediately, the man was seen handing the box to the man with glasses.

After opening it, I found neatly stacked large unity notes. One stack should be worth a thousand yuan! There must be at least thirty stacks here!

In other words, this man with glasses had prepared at least 30,000 yuan in cash.

This heroic scene once again shocked everyone.

After the payment was made, the man with glasses seemed a little unsatisfied with the shocking effect. Seeing that everyone was staring at the rough stone eagerly, he suddenly asked the staff on the side, "Can you cut the stone?"

"Sure!" an old man came out and answered. "Then open it!" the man with glasses said with a smile. "Then please move!" the old man said respectfully.

Soon, the group followed the old man out of the hall and came to a processing-style house on the left.

There was actually a diesel cutting machine in the room.

Looking at the rubble on the side, it is obvious that a lot of stones have been cut here.

"Cut according to the lines I draw!" The man in glasses drew a few lines with confidence, gave a few instructions, and then handed the raw stone in his hand to the master who was cutting the stone.

Seeing the stone cutter fix the raw stone and start the cutting machine, everyone at the scene held their breath, staring at the raw stone, waiting to record the exciting moment.

"Phew!"
