39, gambling stone
---【Please collect】
In the evening, the three of them had dinner in a town and rented two rooms, one for Zhou Yingying and Mingzhu to sleep in, and one for Liu Lang. They all wanted to go on their way, so they went to bed early.
.
Of course, Liu Lang had no money to spend. All the money was paid for by Mingzhu. Who told the two women to regard him as a master? Liu Lang fell in love with the rich man, and then he had food and shelter.
This was the case along the way, riding during the day and resting at night. On the third day, we arrived at K City.
Zhou Yingying said happily: "We finally arrived at K City. Sister Mingzhu, drive slower. I want to take a good look at this famous K City. This is the largest market for Hetian jade in Western Xinjiang. I heard from my dad that this is also
It is a large market in the National Jade Trading Market, second only to the Jade Trading Market on the border of Myanmar.
Do you know? This K city, also called the gambling city, is comparable to the gambling city in Omen. The most famous one is [Stone Gambling]. I heard that there is a special gambling stone trading city here, which is huge.
It’s amazing.”
Liu Lang, who was sitting next to Zhou Yingying, said, "Yingying, what is stone gambling trading?"
Zhou Yingying finally felt that the opportunity to show her knowledge had come, because along the way, Liu Lang was showing off the dirty jokes and interesting events; sometimes, Zhou Yingying was so laughing that she fell into Liu Lang's arms.
Here, even the driving star would sometimes smile and drive carelessly.
Fortunately, after the car passed the Qinling Mountains, that is, after passing Baoji City in Shaanxi Province, the road conditions were very good, and the roads were very wide and there were few vehicles. Otherwise, like Mingzhu, it would be like that while giggling.
, or if you were dozing off and driving at the same time, you might have been in an accident long ago.
Therefore, Zhou Yingying cherished this rare opportunity to show off her knowledge. She said: "Huh, you don't know this...? Let me tell you, the Hetian jade, diamond, fossils, jade, etc. are all from the earth.
Stones of some special materials formed during changes.
Usually, these treasures are mixed in real stones. If you want to get them, you have to cut the stones and look for them slowly.
Of course, not every stone will have treasures in it. It is just like mining gold. You must first find gold ore before you can refine gold from the gold ore. Most of the gold ore is red, but
Not every red stone is gold ore.
In the same way, if you want to find jade, you must first find stones that can form jade, which are also called jade raw ores. However, not all jade raw ores contain jade. Sometimes, in a pile of ores, maybe,
Not a single jade stone could be found.
Because jade is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin before it is mined out. From the surface, it is just a piece of raw ore whose quality cannot be known. Everything must be cut before we can know what is inside.
Is there any jade? Or, only after cutting can we judge whether the quality of the jade is good or bad!
Then, this kind of stone is called---[Gambling Stone].
This name is a 'noun' explanation. Of course, gambling on stones also has a 'verb' explanation meaning, such as gambling on money, gambling on cards, gambling on sparrows... etc. The word gambling is a verb, indicating that what everyone is betting on is
Stone, therefore, is also called "Gambling Stone".
Because, inside the gambling stone, there may be high-quality jade, which can bring you huge wealth; or there may be nothing inside, making you bankrupt.
If you spend a huge amount of money to buy gambling stones, it is equivalent to buying a set of lottery tickets with guaranteed numbers. Maybe you will make a fortune, or maybe you will lose your capital.
What gambling involves in stone gambling is to see if it is a 'heaven' for making money or a 'hell' for losing money after cutting it open. It is because of the gambling nature of [stone gambling] that people in the industry love it.
Hate again."
Liu Lang asked: "Now that science is so advanced, with X-rays, don't we know if there is anything inside?"
Zhou Yingying smiled and said: "Oh, if it were that simple, there would be no market for gambling on stones.
Because, generally, the true face of "Lushan" inside the jade ore cannot be seen at a glance just from the appearance. Even in today's scientific era, there is no instrument that can quickly judge the "Lushan" inside the stone through this outer shell.
Is it "Baoyu" or "Baoxu".
If there are many crystal clear jade stones in the cut stone, you can become a rich man overnight; if after cutting the stone, you find that it is essentially just a piece of gray sand stone with jade marks on the outside and white flowers on the inside.
, then everything will go bankrupt overnight.
Because the trading of raw stones is very risky and "exciting", the word "gamble" is added in front of the word "stone", which is called gambling stone.
Because the profit after winning the bet on stones is huge, the business of betting on stones has been going on for a long time from ancient times to the present.
Furthermore, betting on stones feels safer than buying lottery tickets, because lottery tickets can be faked, but the inside of stones cannot be faked easily. Therefore, there are many people betting on stones.
However, in recent years, there have been some fake stones in gambling. However, fake stones are easy to spot after all, just like fake money. As long as you are careful, you can spot them at a glance.
Therefore, in summary, gambling on stones is safer and easier to succeed than gambling on lottery tickets, which is also the charm of gambling on stones."
Liu Lang said: "Oh, I understand, is it true that someone sells the stone with a little jade on the surface? Then, I buy it and dig out the jade. If there is a big jade inside,
Then I will make a fortune; if there is no jade inside, just a little bit on the surface, then I will lose and have nothing, right?"
Zhou Yingying said with a smile: "Well, that's pretty much it. However, there are two types of bet stones: full bet stones and half bet stones. Full bet means that you can't see the inside at all from the outside. Half bet means you can see a bit of jade inside.
Take the gambling stone of Hetian jade as an example. Hetian jade exists in rivers, together with pebbles. Some, after being washed away by water, the smooth jade is naked or half-naked like pebbles. That is called
It is a very clear jade material, and it is also very precious.
And the pebbles that are wrapped in pebbles and have nothing on the surface, or only some jade skin jade marks, are called "Hetian jade gambling stones".
Full bet stone: It is a pebble with one or two traces of jade on it, or nothing at all. This bet stone is not expensive. If it is cut and there is jade inside, it will be prosperous and the profit can be tens of thousands of times.
However, it is also possible that there is nothing and a loss.
The risk of gambling is very high, and the chance of success is only one in ten million.
The half bet is a small opening on the cobblestone. You can see the jade inside, but you don't know the size or the color. This is called the half bet.
For a half bet, the chance of betting on the upside and the chance of betting on the spread are one to five, so the chance of making money with a half bet is much greater."
Liu Lang shouted: "Wow, hearing you say that, it must be very easy to gamble. I really want to gamble too!"
Zhou Yingying smiled and said: "Why don't you gamble and lose your life? I miss my dad, who is an expert in the jewelry industry and an elite in the stone gambling industry. However, he usually doesn't touch this stone gambling industry.
Unless the gambling stone is half a gambling stone with an opening, or a gambling stone that has been cut with a knife and you can see the jade inside, then he dares to gamble.
This is called, [Gamble].
[Gamble with one knife] not only describes the gambling method of people who buy gambling stones, only cuts them once, and then sells them, it also describes the gambling behavior of buying gambling stones that have been cut with one knife.
The risk of betting on a knife is much smaller than betting on half a stone, and the chance of winning is about one to three.
Because after cutting it open with a knife, most of the conditions inside can be seen, so the price at which it changes hands is different from the price at which the gambling stone was originally purchased.
If there is jade inside, then he can resell the gambling stone. Generally, the one with the highest price will get it. Of course, the shadow of jade must appear in it. If it is full of stones, no one will buy it."
Mingzhu smiled and said: "Damn it, Liu Lang, you still want to gamble, do you know? The gambling stones in the gambling stone city cost more than a few hundred yuan each. Do you have the money?"
By the way, don’t forget that in the past two days, everything you eat, drink, and use is all money given by my lady... Don’t just eat soft food and want to gamble with my lady’s money.
Yo."
What Mingzhu said is true. The three of them lived together for more than two days as companions. Along the way, the two women have always treated Liu Lang as their future man, serving them, eating, sleeping, sleeping, etc.
Yes, they are all women's things. If Liu Lang still uses women's money to gamble, it would really be called a soft meal.
However, a person who eats soft rice will definitely feel uncomfortable when others say that he eats soft rice. Therefore, when Liu Lang heard the word "soft rice", he felt depressed. However, he didn't know how to say it, so he
He snorted and pretended to be angry.
However, the three of them had been together for more than two days, and they knew each other relatively well. Therefore, Mingzhu and Zhou Yingying teased Liu Lang for a while, and Liu Lang got angry for a while, and then started teasing the two beauties again.
