Chapter 7 Jinshatan
"This...this..."
What's the situation?
How come there are so many crystals here?
Xu Ming walked over, bent down, picked up an egg-sized crystal from the transparent crystals of different sizes on the ground, and put them in his hand to look at it.
The crystal has a round appearance and an oval structure shows that it has been washed by long-term water flow. Its surface is pure and flawless, without any impurities, and emits a sparkling light under the sunlight.
"Although it's not as shiny and dazzling as diamonds, it's also very beautiful."
In addition, Xu Ming felt that the crystal felt very good in his hand. Not only was it not as cool as glass as imagined, but it was very warm and had a jade-like touch... although he had never touched any jade.
Standing on this river beach full of crystals, even hiking shoes covered with soil under their feet, stepped on the pure crystals directly, defiling, wearing, and smudged and damaged more than a dozen pieces. Xu Ming had no regrets on his face.
Because there are too many.
The depth and width of this river with a length of hundreds of meters in the field of view are on both sides of the river beach with a depth of more than twenty meters, and are densely covered with crystals, with a quantity of at least hundreds of thousands and more than millions, and there are too many to count.
This river is also a crystal river, like a giant necklace winding downwards.
The problem also follows.
How are these crystals produced and formed?
"Most of the general natural crystals are formed in underground caves. They are said to grow slowly in hundreds of high-temperature groundwater hydrothermal hydrocarbons, and crystals are unlikely to form in open air environments."
"How do you explain the source of these countless crystals in front of you?"
Xu Ming shook his head. His knowledge level was limited and he really couldn't give an answer.
The only fact that can be confirmed is that these crystals are lying in this valley and are named "Crystal Valley" by him.
Finally, there is a question that everyone, including Xu Ming, wants to get answered immediately: Are these crystals valuable?
Xu Ming's understanding of high-end luxury goods and collections such as crystal, jade, gems, agate is completely clear about his cleverness and no knowledge! The cognitive level of these fields is basically in a vacuum state.
Because he didn't dream of thinking that he would have the opportunity to intersect with these areas.
Of course, it is not true to be completely ignorant. For example, the protagonist can easily cut out imperial green and dragon stone species, and invest thousands of yuan in investment to easily earn tens of millions.
I have also watched a very popular program called "Treasure Appraisal". The cheapest ones that the guests brought to the program are worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and it is not uncommon to call out hundreds of millions, but the fake is more fake and the real one is less, allowing the audience to see the depth of the collection industry.
Then, I saw a place hyping the price of bloodstones in a certain place. The bloodstones that were originally hundreds or thousands of each were hyped up by the capital to hundreds of thousands or millions. Finally, the game of the game was over, leaving a mess.
So Xu Ming didn't know whether the crystal stones under his feet were worth it or not.
"If the appraiser thinks this kind of crystal is rare and has collection value, it is possible to sell tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan per piece."
"If the appraiser thinks it is not rare and very common, it may not be sold for a hundred yuan, which is not much different from ordinary pebbles."
It is between the price of pebbles and gemstones.
This is the conclusion drawn by Xu Ming after analyzing it.
And even if you can only sell pebbles, Xu Ming feels that the prospects of this project are brighter.
"I opened a crystal stone shop, and the crystals on the counter were sold at 100 yuan each, and then I ran the volume wildly. I could earn 10,000 yuan if I sold 100 yuan a day, because there was no purchase cost, and the monthly profit was at least 100,000 yuan."
"And these crystals are easy to collect. If you bend down and pick them up for a while, you will have hundreds of them. It is much easier than climbing onto a tree to pick those red dates. The price is also higher, and the added value of labor is greater. If I want to choose, I will naturally choose the crystal project and give up the red date project."
But why didn't Xu Ming imagine that it was more beautiful? Suppose that an appraisal master was willing to buy his crystal for 100,000 yuan per piece, but Xu Ming insisted on selling 1 million yuan per piece. The appraisal master had to compromise and finally sold 100 yuan. Xu Ming became a billionaire... Isn't this more reasonable?
He actually thought about selling it for 100 yuan, right?
Having said that, there is always a big gap between reality and imagination.
Xu Ming remembered that in November of one year, he and his friends found that there were many large and fat black fish in Fenghuang Lake in Suhong City. Because the water temperature was low, the black fish was slow to react and could get ashore with a net bag. So he and his friends frantically caught hundreds of kilograms of black fish and went ashore, and they all felt that they could make a fortune.
It is popular to eat grilled fish in autumn and winter. In many grilled fish shops, black fish is sold at 45 yuan per catty. If you sell it to those grilled fish shops at a price of 20 yuan per catty, you will get 2,000 yuan.
However, during the door-to-door sales process, Xu Ming and the others did not sell a single fish.
The price ranges from 20 per catty to 10 yuan, 5 yuan, or 3 yuan, but no boss dares to ask for it.
Even if it was given to a boss for free, he would just not take heavy objects and be more brisk in his hands, he was rejected by the other party... After all, Phoenix Lake is a viewing lake, not a lake that specializes in fish farming.
In the end, the hundreds of kilograms of black fish were eaten by themselves, and all the others were discarded.
It was through this incident that Xu Ming summarized a truth: Everything should not be taken too naturally.
So the bottom line in Xu Ming’s transparent crystals under his feet is 100 yuan per piece. If he can’t even reach this bottom line, he would rather give up the crystal stone project!
However, a few hours later, his thoughts changed a little more.
Walk down the Crystal Valley.
The terrain gradually became flattering, and the water flow also became gentler from rapid turbulence.
The sound of "buzzing" water surge intensified.
A crack that was shaped like a bent bow appeared in front of Xu Ming, dividing the earth into two parts, forming a height drop of about ten meters.
The river with the cut-off road ahead had to fall in the form of a waterfall, splashing out countless mist and splashes, making rumbles.
Under the sunlight, seven-color rainbows condense between the water vapor from time to time.
Of course, these are not the point.
The point is that Xu Ming saw that there was a fifty acres of square waterfall, which served as a buffer for water storage. It was in the clear shallow water area at the edge of the pool, reflecting a golden light, like a bowl of thick clam soup.
"The bottom of the golden pond?"
"Those should be just ordinary river sand, right?"
"But why does the color look much yellower than normal river sand? Besides, it's three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the stars have not yet set. It's impossible for the golden color of the sunset on the water."
"so……"
A hypothesis emerged in Xu Ming's mind.
