Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 560: Being a Living Target

Chu Tingnan smiled and said, "Take it and cut it open and see. Luckily, your Qi Bing will win it back a little bit. Otherwise, with your skills and luck, you would have lost your pants in gambling."

Tian Mi was a little embarrassed and said, "How do I see it then?"

Chu Tingnan had already studied some books on gambling on stones, so he carefully explained to them how to read them.

Jiang Yanqiu originally wanted to pick out a few good ones for her, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

Otherwise, she would keep betting on rising prices and her gambling addiction would become worse.

I’m afraid that one day her golden finger will disappear, and it will be troublesome if this girl can’t quit.

After a while, there was a sudden cry of surprise in the exhibition hall, and several people hurried over to see what was happening.

Jiang Yanqiu thought that Dai Guoyu was cutting the stone, but it turned out that someone had bought the highest bid, three pieces at a time.

Chu Tingnan sighed, "I used to think I was quite rich, but compared to them, I'm nothing!"

Jiang Yanqiu also sighed, "You are already very impressive. There are very few households with a net worth of over 10,000 yuan in China now, but there are so many multi-millionaires and billionaires in Hong Kong."

This time, when Jiang Yanqiu saw Uncle Nan and the others, she wrote down the numbers of a few raw stones that looked good and gave them to Chu Tingnan, asking him to find an opportunity to give them to Uncle Nan.

Afterwards, a few people went to see people mining the raw stones. When they arrived at the place where the raw stones were mined, they found that it was extremely luxurious.

Not only are there comfortable sofas everywhere, but there are also a variety of fruits, tea and snacks available.

Those truly wealthy sponsors are all here, waiting for others to cut out good materials and bid for them.

On the platform in the middle, several operating tables were busy at the same time.

This platform is quite high, and there may be private rooms upstairs.

As soon as Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan walked in, Boss Yang recognized them at a glance.

He ran over with a smile on his face and greeted the two of them: "Boss, long time no see. There's a private room upstairs. Would you like to go up and sit down?"

Chu Tingnan politely declined, "Thank you. We can just take a look here. We need to go out and look at the materials later."

Boss Yang knew they wouldn't bid, so he didn't say anything. "Okay, I'll keep the room for you. If you need anything later, just ask the staff to take you there. My last name is Yang. What are your names, bosses?"

Chu Tingnan replied, "My last name is Chu, and this is my lover, Xiao Jiang."

Boss Yang said with a smile: "Boss Chu, Boss Jiang, look, if you need anything, just tell me. I am always at your service."

Chu Tingnan said politely, "Thank you. I'll trouble Boss Yang when the time comes."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Remember to call me if you need anything." After saying this, Boss Yang went to serve other customers.

Tian Mi muttered quietly, "The four of us came in together, why are you only greeting the two of them?"

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "We are a big customer here."

It must be because of that rough stone.

Tian Mi also realized that they had bought a lot of raw stones last year.

Then he asked, "Is this man the boss here?"

"He is the biggest boss here." Several people found Lin Shaoyang and his friends and sat over.

Jiang Yanqiu asked, "Did you buy the right one?"

Gu Qingqing replied, "No, the ones I like are too expensive, often costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so I don't dare to buy them."

Gu Qingqing didn't expect that raw stones are so expensive now, so she didn't dare to buy them.

Jiang Yanqiu said: "If you like, we can lend you money."

"Lets see."

Boss Yang greeted the customers for a while before going to the office to make a phone call.

As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Those two are here again!"

Wang Lei asked curiously, "How is their harvest now?"

Boss Yang scratched his head and said, "I'm still waiting and watching."

"Seeing their harvest, I'll be back soon." At this moment, Wang Lei was still wandering around the land in the special zone.

She is not worried about the raw stone market. With Boss Yang around, nothing will go wrong!

She spent a whole year traveling around the border last year and bought a lot of good jadeite. Once she sells it, she can buy land.

Now that she was going back, she was curious whether Jiang Yanqiu would appreciate jade.

After sitting downstairs for a while, they decided to go to the private room provided.

There was too much dust down there, which didn’t matter to adults, but Tian Mi had a child to take care of and she had to feed him.

Several lesbians went to the private room, while the gays continued shopping.

After Tian Mi finished feeding, Chu Tingnan came over and said, "You don't need to cut the raw stones now, just take them back."

Jiang Yanqiu explained: "Anyone who wants to make money will cut it here. There are many rich people here."

"So cunning!"

By the afternoon, several people had bought a bunch of kilograms of ingredients and had not bought anything else.

Jiang Yanqiu discovered that Dai Guoyu's two pieces of raw stones had never been opened, but it was Uncle Nan who stole the limelight.

He came here just to have fun and didn't even take the raw stone back. He just cut it here and let others bid on it, so that he could maximize his profits.

The three highest-bidders cut a part, and the buyers sold it directly. The total profit from the three pieces was more than 500,000 yuan.

Although the income is not much, it is still more than an ordinary person can earn in his entire life.

It was not until the afternoon that Jiang Yanqiu cut a piece of material that was not ostentatious but would not lose money.

I bought it for 368,000 yuan and sold it for 688,000 yuan, making a profit of 320,000 yuan.

Gu Qingqing also bought one, spending 168,000 yuan.

When buying it, he not only borrowed money from Jiang Yanqiu, but also confirmed whether he could buy it.

I bought it after getting Jiang Yanqiu's approval, and I also made 120,000 yuan.

Qi Bing did not take action.

Zhao Lanlan was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. In the past, if her family gave her 10,000 yuan, she would be happy for a while.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Jiang Yanqiu and her friends easily earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Shaoyang found Jiang Yanqiu alone and said, "In my opinion, the highlight should be in the last two days. Tomorrow, spend all the 688,000 yuan. Only by being in the spotlight can you attract others."

Jiang Yanqiu asked a little worriedly: "What if we lose money?"

"We will compensate you, but you must let people know that you must bet on an increase in value." The gambling stone king in the previous life was quite powerful, so how could he lose it?

Jiang Yanqiu sighed and asked, "Also, what if I become too popular and someone spots me? Last time, we spent 200,000 yuan on security to get home safely."

She finally understood that these people actually treated her as a living target.

But she has no way out!

Lin Shaoyang laughed and said, "Don't worry, with a high-tech person like me as your bodyguard, nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Yanqiu said helplessly, "I really don't understand you. You're wasting your time on these things instead of studying. You should use this time to quickly resolve your own lifelong affairs."

Lin Shaoyang muttered to himself, it’s all because of you that I got implicated.

If Jiang Yanqiu had not become the target of those people, he would not have been arranged to meet her just because he was an acquaintance of Jiang Yanqiu.

The next day, when Jiang Yanqiu arrived, Boss Yang came out to receive them in person. Jiang Yanqiu walked around twice and picked out a rough stone worth 688,000 yuan.

Although this stone is not green, it has splashes of water.

Then, Jiang Yanqiu picked out a few good pieces of raw stones and asked Chu Tingnan to give them to Uncle Nan and the others, and then went to cut the stones.

While Jiang Yanqiu was cutting the stone, Dai Guoyu was also cutting the imperial green piece.

While waiting, Dai Guoyu stood beside Jiang Yanqiu and joked, "I've been looking for someone for months but couldn't find one. As soon as you came, someone appeared. It seems you're really charming."

Jiang Yanqiu asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

"Missing persons."

Jiang Yanqiu immediately realized that it was Qiao Lei. She didn't expect that what she said casually yesterday was right. Dai Guoyu really came to confirm Qiao Lei's identity.

Jiang Yanqiu suddenly realized that she was probably sent to lure Qiao Lei to appear.

Compared with those little Japanese devils, Qiao Lei, who even dared to touch strategic materials, was not much better.

She had made such a big splash last time. If Qiao Lei had seen it, she would definitely be curious. As soon as she appeared, Qiao Lei would definitely come to see her performance.

Sure enough, Qiao Lei took the bait.

Dai Guoyu’s imperial green rough stone is not too big.

It was cut out in a short while. It has glass-type floating flowers and a line of imperial green. This is the best material cut from yesterday to today.

A piece of raw stone weighing several hundred kilograms was auctioned for more than five million yuan, which means the price increased a hundred times!

Jiang Yanqiu's piece was pure high ice, without a trace of green, but it was very large, weighing more than a thousand kilograms, and was sold for more than six million.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yanqiu bought another piece of more than 100 kilograms, and the price also increased by a hundred times.

When they left, the group bought a lot of kilograms of ingredients.

Back at the hotel, Tian Mi said, "I heard there are still three winning bids that haven't been taken out."

Gu Qingqing smiled and said, "This isn't just hearsay, it's something everyone knows. Jiang Yanqiu, you're going to make a fortune this time. When the time comes, please lend us some money to bid for the highest bid."

Lin Shaoyang reminded him, "I heard that the real top bidder has been cut. If you want to bid, you might not be able to get it for 7 or 8 million."

Chu Tingnan suddenly realized: "The boss also needs to make money."

Gu Qingqing reacted and said, "No wonder the price of a kilogram of material has dropped. You can make millions or even tens of millions right now. Who would care about such a small amount of money for a kilogram of material? How much did you pay for that piece last time?"

Jiang Yanqiu explained, "Sixty-six. No one liked it the day before, but the next day I saw a similar one had been replaced, so I took a gamble and bought it."

Gu Qingqing said jealously: "No wonder the boss is so enthusiastic about you. I was a big customer the last two times, but they ignored me."

Jiang Yanqiu asked curiously, "How much did you earn the first two times?"

Gu Qingqing said awkwardly: "I lost 6,000 the first time, and 68,000 the second time. I played small, and this time I bought the most expensive one. But she planned to stop playing after this time. There are traps everywhere."

Jiang Yanqiu said in surprise: "You also have times when you lose?"

Gu Qingqing didn't feel embarrassed and said, "Last time I bought two pieces. I made 20,000 yuan on one piece, but the other piece was full of spots, so I lost 80,000 yuan."

Chu Tingnan said after hearing this: "We who don't know the business can only rely on luck. It's normal to break the stone. My uncle knows the business. Last time he brought a jade appraiser with him. He bought a piece that was full of cracks. He could only get some small pendants and beads. It's okay to gamble on stones for fun, but it's not a long-term thing."

After saying that, he didn't forget to look at Tian Mi. This girl has the biggest gambling addiction.

Whether it's gambling on stones or playing mahjong, I'm very interested in it all day long, but my skills are not very good.
