Chapter 145 Gambling Stone (2)
Ran Yun felt a little bit of pain, but looking at the stones covered with red silk in front of her, she forgot about the consistent money for a while, and waited excitedly for the stall owner to start.
“Everyone, all the rough stones produced today have jade, and only the size is good or bad, so the bottom price is two dollars, and the person with the highest price per stone will get it. Today, only fifteen pieces will be sold. We guarantee that there will definitely be top-quality jade in it. In order to protect the integrity, after the end, we will cut all the stones to show the public. But if the buyer is unwilling to cut, then there is nothing we can do.” The stall owner said loudly, he took a breath, and continued, “Next, just It depends on everyone’s eyesight and luck”
The gong clattered.
Ran Yan looked at the stall owner who was thinner than Liu Qingsong with great interest. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Ran Yan did not auction the industry when it was formed, but in order to make money, businessmen in the Tang Dynasty had already used bidding.
More than a dozen servants tore off the red silk together, revealing the true face of the stone.
From the outside, they are no different from ordinary stones.
Most people don’t know how to do it, which makes people who are eager to try suddenly stop.
“Guess the price of the rough stones in groups of five. If no one is higher than the price you guessed, they will buy the rough stone at the price you guessed. The lady who bought the stones should not make any bids, otherwise we will have to meet with the government.” The stall owner said, and the first group of stones for sale were placed on the wooden platform set up at the front.
The five stones only have subtle differences in color and shape, and there seem to be not many people who know how to do it, and a few of them seem to be eager to try.
After about five breaths, one of the young men in green clothes pointed at the rock on the far right with a folding fan, “I’ll take that one out of two.”
When someone saw his determined appearance, they immediately followed the bid, “I’ll give you two and fifty dollars.”
The stall owner smiled and looked at the crowd, “This gentleman offered two and fifty dollars, is there anyone who is higher?” I offered four.
“Langjun Tsing Yi, who made the first bid, raised the price severely again.
When Lang Jun, who was eager to try, saw that he had increased the price so much, he couldn’t help but start bidding.
In the end, the stone was taken by the gentleman in Tsing Yi for twenty pieces.
The stall owner left immediately and cupped his hands, “This is your surname?”
“My surname is Yang.” Tsing Yi Langjun replied politely.
Only officials of the seventh or eighth rank can wear Tsing Yi, and when everyone sees his clothes, they will know it in their hearts.
“Congratulations to Yang Langjun for purchasing this rough stone…” The stall owner had a kind smile on his face, but Yang Langjun stopped him by raising his hand, “Don’t rush to congratulate, I will spend the two Is it worth it ten times?”
“Yang Langjun means… cut it?” the stall owner asked.
“Cut it.” Yang Langjun said.
The stall owner turned around and asked two stone-cutting masters to take the tools and cut the stone beside the wooden platform.
You can’t just cut the rough stone with jade, or just smash it open, so the cut is not fast, and the people around don’t have the heart to guess any more, and they stretch their necks to watch.
Seeing that it would be impossible to continue for a while, the stall owner said with a smile, “It seems that everyone is very interested in the rough stones purchased by Yang Langjun, so let’s pause for a while and let everyone have a good time.”
Due to the concentration of most people watching, the applause was sparse.
After about half an hour, the stone has been polished to the size of a fist. Occasionally, emerald color can be seen in the cut residual stone, and there are also one or two jadeites the size of thumb nails.
The stone-cutting master said that these two pieces of jade are not big, but they are of very poor quality, at least worth five or six pieces.
The people around him congratulated Yang Langjun.
When the stall owner saw that the atmosphere was alive again, he continued to guess stones.
Everyone realized that as long as one grasped a certain degree, it might be profitable, so this time the quiz was much more lively than the last time, and some good people from poor families also began to bid, and they didn’t pay for the guess anyway.
But once the price is higher than five, fewer and fewer people guess the price.
Soon the second piece of rubble was also bought at the price of six, followed by the second and third…
Ran Yun is eager to try,
Holding Ran Yunsheng’s arm, “Ten Brother, why don’t we buy one too?”
Ran Yan raised her eyes and glanced at the stage, just to catch a glimpse of the eyes of the stall owner.
“Okay, buy whichever piece you like.” Ran Yunsheng understands this, and she will never spend a lot of money on things you are not sure about.
At this time, the first group of rubble had been sold out, about seventy thousand dollars.
The second group was on the stage.
“Everyone…” The stall owner stepped onto the stage and was just about to prepare, but was suddenly interrupted by the exclamation of the stone-cutting master over there.
“Congratulations to Yang Langjun, congratulations, congratulations,” the stone-cutting master held a dove egg-sized jade and handed it to Yang Langjun, sighing, “It’s such a big, fine jade jade, Yang Langjun’s twenty flowers It’s not wrong. You took this uncarved jade to a jewelry store and sold it, and maybe you could sell it for forty pieces plus these two smaller pieces, it really made a lot of money.”
At this time, Yang Langjun’s face was filled with joy, and he bowed his hands to those who thanked him in return.
“Yang Langjun is really unlucky,” the stall owner praised, and then announced the start of the second round.
Ran Yun also participated in it, bidding for the stone she liked.
It was the Yang Langjun who started bidding with her. Maybe everyone thought he was an expert, so they followed the trend to bid. In the blink of an eye, the value of a humble stone had soared to twenty.
I don’t know what Ran Yun was thinking. She was more competitive with that person, and she even wanted to increase the price. Ran Yan quietly pulled her and bowed her head, “If you add more, you will lose money.”
As soon as she heard that she was losing money, Ran Yun immediately restrained her thoughts, glared at Yang Langjun in Tsing Yi, and gave up resentfully.
The second group of rubble was also sold out quickly, and Ran Yun bought the last piece of the second group at the price of six.
The atmosphere in the crowd was high, and many people had little sense.
It’s no surprise that gambling can be crazy.
Guessing stones, in fact, is also gambling stones, which is a kind of gambling. Even experts can only guess that there will be rough jade in a certain stone. As for the size and texture, it is difficult to grasp, so for experts, such Activities also carry certain risks.
The second group was sold out, and another group was placed on the stage. The rough stones in this group were three or four times larger than the previous two groups, like small rockeries.
These five rubbles were newly carried out and were not on display just now.
Soon Yang Langjun’s second stone was cut open again, and it was another piece of rough jade the size of a pigeon’s egg. The quality of this piece was not as good as last time, but it was a profit compared to the price he bought.
Immediately after that, two or three people also offered rough jade.
“It seems that today’s batch of rough stones is really bad,” the stall owner raised his voice, successfully attracting a crowd that was about to lose control. There will be the best Lantian jade.”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, and more and more people watched, and even many small vendors joined in.
“Originally, this giant jade was not intended to be taken out to guess the price. But seeing that everyone was in high spirits, they took it out. However, the shop can’t make too much money. VIP customers who want to guess this group of rough stones have to pay. The quiz fee is 20. The base price of the rough stone is still two, so you don’t have to guess the same rough stone, but the person with the highest price is still eligible to get the rough stone you want.” The stall owner said with a smile on his face, ” However, this batch of rubble is only sold for two pieces, please don’t miss the chance.”
There was an uproar underneath, the top-grade Lantian jade is such a large piece of rough stone, if you can open a fist-sized piece of Lantian jade, it will be worth a hundred.
However, it is necessary to pay 20 quiz fees, which obviously raises the threshold a lot. As long as there are three or four people participating, the stall owner can also recover the cost.
But personally, there may be a lot of room for profit.
Many businessmen in the audience saw through this situation at a glance, so they would never waste their hard-earned money.
The rest of the people are also hesitating, after all, if you can’t compete with others at the 20th level, the 20th level will never come back.
“I won’t let you all give out these 20 pieces in vain. These five rough stones are authorized for you to watch.” The stall owner saw that there was no response for a long time, and he was a little anxious.
Bet, this kind of activity is best avoided in the middle of the cold session. After the cold session, many people’s minds will return to calm, and it will be much harder if they want to heat up the atmosphere.
As soon as the stall owner said this, Yang Langjun, who had opened two pieces of jade in a row, signed up again.
One, there was some commotion in the crowd, and a few Langjun in brocade clothes also followed suit.
At first glance, these people are children of noble birth and wealthy families, and most of them are just for fun.
“Ten Brother, is there an official surnamed Yang in Suzhou City, is there a wealthy family?” Ran Yan asked in a low voice.
Ran Yunsheng thought for a while, then UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com shook his head, “There are two people with the surname Yang, but they should not have a deep family background.”
Ran Yan’s eyes fell on that Yang Langjun, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said, “Ten Brother, please pay for me later.”
Before Ran Yunsheng could react, Ran Yan was already walking towards the stage.
Ran Yun stared with anger on her face, and finally just hummed, “For the sake of her being the future Cui family, this time it’s a favor.”
Lian Ranyan, a total of five people participated.
When the rest of the people on the stage saw a lady wearing a mask, they didn’t take it seriously, thinking that it was probably a little lady from some noble family who came to play.
They are also very graceful and let Ran Yan guess first.
Ran Yan carefully touched the stones one by one from left to right, but Yu Guang was paying attention to the expressions of the people around him.
After other people were optimistic, the stall owner announced the start of bidding, and the reserve price was two.
Yang Langjun quickly chose, and the rest of the people naturally followed him.
Ran Yan wandered between the two rubbles, walked back and forth a few times, and finally chose the most massive rubble in the center.
“This lady looks inexperienced,” Yang Langjun whispered.
Several people on the stage, including Ran Yan and the stall owner, heard it clearly.
When everyone in the audience saw the situation, they all looked at the purple-clothed man who was standing half a step in front of the rubble with strange eyes.
Yang Langjun, who is obviously very experienced, has already chosen something else, why is she still stubborn in choosing another one?
There is no other word, people who use traffic can’t hurt.
The sleeve still did a stupid thing today. It actually locked it outside the room. The key was still locked in the room. …just took out the computer…
