Chapter 1102 The water is deep
After taking the leave, Chen Hao bought a plane ticket and headed straight to Yunsheng.
After arriving at the provincial capital, I transferred to a car. After seven or eight hours of bumpy ride, I arrived at a small county town called Teng County.
This place is already a border, just a distance from Burma, only a dozen kilometers away.
Although it is a county town, there are not many people living here. According to Chen Hao's visual observation, there must be at least hundreds of thousands of people.
The streets are crowded and very lively. The accent is mostly outsiders, but there are actually not many locals.
However, this is also very normal. In such border counties, there are usually many business people who come here to look for opportunities.
Various styles of luxury cars can be seen everywhere on the streets of the county town. Judging from the license plates, these luxury cars come from all over the country, and there are also many local luxury cars.
After Chen Hao took a casual walk on the street, he found a small restaurant, went in and ordered two dishes. After eating, he chatted with the boss casually while paying the bill: "Boss, are there many people selling wool stones here?"
"oh?"
When the boss heard this, he glanced at Chen Hao with some surprise and smiled: "Little brother, are you also coming to bet on stones?"
Here, gambling on stones is a very normal thing. Many locals have made their fortunes because of this, so this boss is not unfamiliar with it.
"Yeah, I plan to come over and have fun."
Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"In the south of the county town, you walk along this street and go south. When you walk to the end, you can see a jade trading market, which is full of gambling stones. But it's quite far away. You'd better take a taxi and tell the driver to go to the jade trading market and he will know."
The boss told Chen Hao readily.
"Okay, thank you, boss."
Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"Little brother, I think you are not old." The boss reminded kindly: "Gambling stones is risky, don't be too impulsive. I have seen many people who were fired because of this gambling stones, but I have also seen more people who died because of this gambling stones."
"Yeah, thank you."
Chen Hao nodded.
After going out, he took a taxi and Chen Hao told the driver that he was going to the jade trading market. However, the driver asked back: "North and South?"
"That means there are two?"
Chen Hao said unexpectedly: "Is there any difference?"
"Well, the jade trading market in the north is more of a variety of polished jades, and the jade trading market in the south is full of wool stones."
The taxi driver said while looking at the rearview mirror.
“Go to the south.”
Chen Hao said.
"Okay."
The driver responded, started the car, and asked curiously as he walked, "Little brother, you don't think you are old and you also like to bet on stones?"
"Either like it, or watch the fun." Chen Hao said with a smile.
"This thing is really a sword heaven and a sword hell."
The driver said with emotion: "Many people come here to bet on stones, fantasizing about getting rich, but most of them lose money."
"Well, this thing is indeed very risky."
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Brother, do you have many locals here? "
“Too many.”
The driver laughed in silence, pointed at some beautiful villas on both sides of the road, and said, "Did you see these villas? They are all locals, but they all make a fortune by selling stones, and really make a fortune by betting on stones. I really haven't seen a few of them."
Chen Hao laughed and said, "That's true."
The taxi driver was more able to chat, and then said, "Brother, there are quite a lot of people in the southern trading market, but more people go abroad to gamble, go to Myanmar, and there are more people there, and they are richer!"
"oh?"
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't they all the same?"
“Different, different.”
The taxi driver shook his head and explained: "Relatively speaking, the stones in Myanmar have a higher chance of greening, and they can also produce the best quality. The stones in the southern trading market are slightly inferior to those in Myanmar. Many big bosses who do this jade business go to Myanmar to play. Generally, those with relatively small business will come to the southern trading market to see them. When someone finds that they have greening, they will buy them on the spot."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Hao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's right, this jade seems to be more produced in Burma."
"Yes, there were more in the past, but now, the number is smaller."
The taxi driver explained: "In the past, there were many old pits in Myanmar and many were produced. In recent years, over-mining, the output of old pits was not as good as before. Although many new pits have been opened one after another, the quality of the stones inside is much worse, so everyone is still willing to go to the old pit."
"Brother, you are very familiar with the situation here."
Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Hey, I'll tell you little brother."
The taxi driver sighed and said, "I've played it a few times before, so I'm more familiar with these situations. How to say it, the water here is so muddy that ordinary people can't do it at all. Occasionally, one or two people drive green. To put it bluntly, it's all about the ancestors' accumulation of virtue, good luck, and too many people lose all."
After pausing, he continued: "This wool stone looks like every one is the same, but in fact, there are some experts who are really ignorant and golden eyes. Those people, who have ten stones, can produce green at least three of them inside."
"The chances are not very high."
Chen Hao said with a smile.
“Not high yet?”
The taxi driver laughed and said, "On ordinary people's words, if you drive a hundred stones, you can produce three pieces of money inside. Ten out of three, the chance is quite high, and only an outsider like you think it's low. You have to know that a piece of green in these ten stones is enough for you to make money. If you produce three pieces of green, you will make a lot of money!"
“That’s true.”
Chen Hao nodded, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "I didn't expect that there were experts in playing this thing? Then don't these experts make a big profit?"
"Haha, little brother, that's not necessarily true."
The taxi driver said with a smile: "These experts are not those who have certificates. Most of them are just looking at these wool stones. They have seen a lot of them, so they have some experience and specialize in making money from those who are gambling stones. After you go there later, there will definitely be so-called experts coming to say hello to you and ask if you want to hire them."
"There is something like this?"
Chen Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"That's natural. Nowadays, some people want to make money, and they are almost going crazy."
The taxi driver smiled and said, "You have to try any way, but don't say it. As far as I know, some people have lived well because of it and made a lot of money. Of course, among these so-called experts, only a small number of people have good eyesight, and more people are fooling you guys who come to gambling stones. You must keep your eyes open and don't be deceived by those experts."
While talking, the taxi arrived at the jade trading market on the south side.
The market looks like the kind of market in the past. The door is broken and there is a sign hanging on both sides with the words "Jade Trading". It seems that it has been a lot of years.
"Brother, I wish you good luck."
Before getting off the bus, the taxi driver said to Chen Hao with a smile.
"Thank you."
Chen Hao waved his hand and walked into the jade trading market slowly.
Although the market is not big, there are many people inside, with various luxury cars parked everywhere. There are many shops on both sides with plaques of jade trading. Most of the people here look extraordinary in their clothes, and of course, the expressions on their faces are different.
Some were cheerful, some were eager to try, and some were depressed and dejected.
There are also some people who keep walking back and forth in this market, carefully observing everyone who comes in.
After Chen Hao walked around inside, he noticed a few people, and his eyes kept looking at him.
A middle-aged man in his thirties walked over quickly and greeted Chen Hao with a smile: "Little brother, are you playing with stones here or looking for someone?"
"I want to see it."
Chen Hao said with a smile.
"oh?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He could hear every day, "Little brother, is this your first time here?"
"How do you know?"
Chen Hao smiled, but did not hide it, and nodded calmly to admit it.
“It’s very simple.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Overall people come here to play with stones. For regular customers, they go straight to the old shops they have been to before. Most of the people who come here to play with stones for the first time are more cautious, just like you said just now, come here to see."
Chen Hao smiled, looked at the middle-aged man carefully, and said with a smile: "Are you okay?" He estimated that this middle-aged man might be the experts mentioned by the taxi driver before.
"Little brother, if you want to play with stones, I can recommend it to you."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I have been in this market for more than ten years. I am familiar with all the stones in the store and which store has recently launched new products. I will follow me and I promise not to cheat you, and I can also take you to the best store."
"oh?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Will you still help me see the stone?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There is also a business, but it depends on whether you need it or not. If you need it, I can also choose it for you. If you don't need it, then you can do it yourself."
