Chapter 107 Stone Gambling
The steering stone is a folk name. The ancients believed that Tianhuangshi was psychic. After leaving the mine, the seed material from Tianhuangshi would secretly run away. Therefore, after mining the seed material, the miners used an ordinary big mountain stone to press it. While seeking peace of mind, the Tianhuang who was psychic was pressed into the stone, which is a good omen.
If this continues, folk customs will spread unknowingly. People who bet on the yellow field will get good luck, so along the way, there will be a large rock pressing on it. This is also called the car-pressing stone. (Original here, please mark the source when reprinting!)
The boss dressed in the Republic of China helped him hold his tortoiseshell glasses and accidentally glanced at the jade in Xuanqi's backpack. Except for a piece of Burmese red jade, the rest were uneven.
The boss already had a preliminary guess in his mind. This should be a novice who is stupid. In jargon, it is a stick. As long as they are attracted to, eight cows can't pull back. Even though they know it is a pit, they will jump without hesitation.
The people who bought jade and antiques around him heard the man with a greasy and pink face shouting, all of them gathered up. Gambling in the yellow field is something that is popular, and the bystanders like to watch the fun. Looking at others' blessings, they envious and jealous, and muttered in their hearts, why are they not so lucky? Seeing that others cut them down, these guys would gloat again, and muttered in their hearts, how much money is a foolish person, hundreds of thousands of dollars! What's wrong with buying, they bought a broken stone with nothing in it.
The familiar people have already begun to say hello to the young master with greasy head and flour noodles. The young master with greasy head and flour noodles is surnamed Zhou, and is an old player in Pan Jiayuan. He likes to bet on stones and play with women.
With Mr. Zhou's shouting, everyone looked at Xuan Qi and saw the big bluestone half a person tall beside Xuan Qi. The stone has been here for almost three or five years. According to the geological structure, it is impossible to form any jade material in the stone, which is to suppress Tian Huang to get a good start.
At this moment, the people around him looked at Xuan Qi, regardless of whether they were gloating or looking at a fool, this is the new stick that is so stupid!
In the antique industry, there are several names for experts to call laymen. Newcomers who have just entered the industry are collectively called Xinbangcui. After paying tuition for several years, they still don’t open their eyes. They continue to beat the tuition in the antique industry, called Laobangcui. Those who always suffer losses but never change them are called Mad Bangcui. Those who spend a lot of money and are not afraid of losing are stupid Bangcui. Those who suffer losses until death are unswerving, that is Dead Bangcui.
The boss of Zhongshan clothing sighed for no reason, but a hint of helplessness flashed in his seemingly loyal eyes. No business is a businessman, especially in the antique industry, he must have a mouth that can make the white black and a heart that is completely pure black. Just like in this situation, if there are not so many people around him, the boss will definitely regard this car-pressing stone as Tianhuangshi and sell it to this new stick. And there are too many people around now that they cannot speak up and fool you!
After all, some things can be done later, but not in front of others. Some things can be done less, but not too many. If you really fool me, let alone whether there are any people around you, even if there is no one, your deeds will be rumored in Panjiawuyuan tomorrow. Customers will realize their treacherousness, and the road to business will become narrower and narrower until they are closed.
Even if a businessman is treacherous, he should maintain a loyal image of doing business with integrity when there are too many people. After thinking for a while, the boss sighed in his heart, why did this new stick stick pick such a time to suppress the greed in his heart, and bring the businessman's unique loyalty: "Young man, that piece is a car-pressing stone, that is, an ordinary big bluestone, except for the heavy, there is no information inside. However, the raw Tianhuang stone in your hand is the material from the old mine, and the skin is good. If you want to buy it, just give it a hundred thousand!"
The boss said this, but his heart was bleeding. The price was only one-third, a little bit! A little bit! It was uncomfortable to think about it! But if you want to maintain a brand of honest management, you can only endure it!
"Hey!" The person who knew the boss next to him exclaimed in a low voice: "Lao Lu took the wrong medicine today? Why didn't he slaughter a harsh knife when he met a new Bangmao? This stone was sold at 150,000 yuan, but it was a regular price. Why did he open this cheap price?"
Another man had a playful lingering on the corner of his mouth and said in an equally low voice: "Isn't this a lot of people around him? If there weren't so many people watching here, Lao Lu would definitely want him to have 200,000 when he encountered such a stupid hammer."
Xuan Qi slapped the people around him and slapped his palm on the big bluestone again, with the unique fanaticism on his face: "The spit out, spit out the nails. Since I said I wanted to buy two pieces together, I will buy two pieces together today." Xuan Qi said and rolled his eyes: "The two pieces together, I will give you 110,000!"
The monks of Xuanmen are practicing every word and action. Xuan Qi seems to be stubborn, but he reveals the fanatical mentality of the novice. It seems that in order to prove his unique persistence, he takes down this big bluestone at a smaller price and less accidents. It is precisely because there is a soul-rest jade in it that can help grandpa turn his death energy into anger, let alone ten thousand yuan, even one million yuan, and one hundred million yuan, Xuan Qi will try every means to win it.
"Okay!" The boss who maintained his image did not insist, for fear that the cooked duck would fly, so he nodded directly to agree. His original bloody heart felt a little better, and at least he made more than 10,000 yuan.
After waiting for Xuan Qi to buy two stones, Mr. Zhou said sarcastically again: "Boy, you have such a good vision. If you buy such a big stone, do you want to explain it now?"
The young master's words were completely out of humiliation and mocking. Xuan Qi pretended not to understand and directly said, "Okay!" The stone was too big, weighing nearly a ton, and Xuan Qi was not easy to take. Seeing Xuan Qi insisting, the boss asked the two guys to put the stone too far and placed it horizontally on the stone cutting machine when he was about to cut it, Xuan Qi hurriedly said, "Wait!" Then he picked up a piece of chalk and with the help of the boss, he drew a line on the big bluestone.
Just kidding, how could the Requiem Jade be so precious that it can be so slim down like this? It will conquer the heavenly things and be punished by the heavenly beings. With the help of the old man, Xuan Qi carefully drew lines on it. For the sake of safety, he deliberately moved his finger out. In the large bluestone that was one person tall, the Requiem Jade, which was only the size of a palm, condensed into the middle of the stone. If it was stretched down just now, it would be completely cut.
The people around were watching the fun without leaving, with curiosity in their eyes, looking at Xuan Qi marking lines. They were even a little uneasy and began to mutter, could there be any material in this big stone? Can it be cut and swelled? Thinking and looking at it, the big bluestone is still the big bluestone!
Mr. Zhou raised his lips, his eyes were full of disdain, and he opened his mouth and said, "Silly, I think you should wipe the stone, maybe there is a lot of yellow in it." As he said that, he held his chin with his hands, deliberately pinching it in a frivolous voice, "That's amazing. Half a ton of Tianhuang stone is out of a ton of bluestone, a world record, you will become the richest man in China!"
People around him then made ridicule. This was a joke that even dared not arrange in mythological stories. Tianhuang appeared in the bluestone. It was like a rooster laying eggs and a sow climbing trees. It was impossible.
Xuan Qi was calm. He ignored the ridicule of the people around him and after drawing the line, he signaled the workers to get the knife. The rotating high-speed grinding wheel fell down quickly. The harsh noise made people speechless. After waiting for the big bluestone to be cut in half, the people who were good at the side surrounded him, but saw that the big bluestone was still inside!
Mr. Zhou immediately howled: "It's rising! It's rising! It's all big bluestone!" The people around him burst into laughter again. Those people with weak will began to examine themselves in their hearts. What could be found in the big bluestone must be the big bluestone! What they imagined just now was no different from letting a boar give birth to a baby!
Xuan Qi looked calm and looked at the larger stones and found that the worker cut them more steadily. He followed his own lines and did not hurt the requiem jade inside. He put his heart back in his belly and asked the worker to change the face and continue cutting.
Gambling stones is also a bet. Participants have the obsession of not being able to die of the Yellow River. A big player who gambling stones in Yunnan and Burmese spent all his money to bet on a raw stone, but he did not open a jadeite, and even the root hair was cut out. He did not give up and cut the entire raw stone to the size of a fist, but he still got nothing. He was about to lose all his money. Just when he was discouraged, his five-year-old son learned something, picked up a raw stone to the size of a fist, and put it under the grinder to polish it. It turned out green, and it was an imperial green glass type!
The rich man who should have lost all his money has become a new man worth tens of millions. From then on, he no longer gambled on stones. He took his son and wife to do business safely and steadily.
It is really because gambling stones are full of unpredictability, so there are often stories of turning around and living in desperate situations. They always remind us that wealth and wealth are actually just between the front lines. Let some opportunists constantly look for stones that can make them rich overnight.
So Xuan Qi's mentality is very reasonable. After all, it is something he bought for money, so he can cut whatever he wants! Everyone envies it if it rises, and everyone will definitely ridicule it if it falls. After all, it doesn't cost money to watch the fun!
The rotating grinding wheel stopped, and the one-meter-high stone was left with only one meter-diameter-long slab and fifty-cm-high. The big bluestone was still big bluestone. The eyes of the people around him flashed mockery. Master Zhou kept mocking and jumped even more happily.
Xuan Qi took out six hundred yuan from his pocket, gave each worker three hundred, and then signaled to cut it himself. The stone slab was fixed to the machine. Xuan Qi picked up the handle of the cutting machine, took a deep breath, started the grinding wheel, put it on the knife against the Requiem Jade, and brushed it! After four consecutive strokes, the stone slab, which was originally one meter, turned into a cube that was only fifty cm long, fifty cm wide, and fifty cm high.
After the grinding wheel stopped, looking at the cube on the ground, Xuan Qi felt a thunder abyss rushing towards him, and his soul couldn't help but be silent. There must be a strange phenomenon in the world when the spiritual objects came out of the world. A seven-color auspicious cloud appeared above the Panjiayuan, with thousands of auspicious colors, purple qi coming from the east, and the spiritual objects were born with vitality like a tide. However, the surrounding mortal fetuses were unable to see at all. The monks with sharp eyes were far behind. Knowing that spiritual treasures were born, they wished they could fly over with their ribs, but the distance was too far!
Xuan Qi took the big bluestone like lightning, and directly picked up the big bluestone, which seemed to be thrown into his backpack, but actually appeared in the old man's smoke-boat cave heaven. The old man was already as happy as a naughty boy: "I'll do the rest!" As he said that, he washed the big bluestone next to the river, using the gentlest and most primitive method to remove the soul-requiem jade from the big bluestone.
As the Requiem Jade appears in the Yanbo Cave Heaven, although the brilliant colors above the Pan Family Garden disappear, it shocked the mysterious cultivators in China. All kinds of hermits emerged, and the major mythical gates were shaking. Even foreign religious forces wanted to come to China and get a share of the pie. For a moment, the storm moved!
