Chapter Thirty-Seven: Betting on Stones
Stone betting means betting on whether there is jade in the newly mined, unprocessed jadeite rough. This kind of jadeite rough is called "raw material", and in the jade trading market, the raw material is also called "stone".
When the raw jadeite is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. Generally, the true appearance of the jadeite cannot be seen at a glance only from the appearance. It is impossible to know whether the jadeite is good or bad inside. The quality can only be known after cutting.
Even today, with the advancement of science, there is no instrument that can quickly determine whether the inner shell is precious jade or waste. Therefore, there is a saying that it is difficult for gods to break through jade.
The whole jadeite rough stone is covered by a leather shell, which is called the rough stone skin. The raw stone skin may be thin or thick, and different rough stones have different colors, including red, yellow, white, black, and mixed.
color.
The buying and selling of raw jade stones is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry world. Her mystery lies in the word "gamble", so buyers also have the saying of gambling on jade or gambling on stones. The buying and selling of raw jade stones is very risky and exciting, so
It is called "gamble". If you win the bet, you will gain a lot of profits. If you lose the bet, you may be destitute. Therefore, in the stone gambling world, there is also a saying that there is a knife in heaven and a knife in hell.
Among the jade transactions, the most profitable and tempting, but also the riskiest, is stone gambling. Compared with stone gambling, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are all warm-hearted and pale in comparison.
Jingyang City is the largest stone gambling place in China except Tengchong County. It can be said that Jingyang City can become a first-tier metropolis in China. Stone gambling plays a big role in this aspect.
Gambling on stones is not unfamiliar at all to Fang Mutian, who has lived in Jingyang City since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with it. There are many stories in it.
How to judge whether there is jadeite inside from the appearance of a rough jadeite stone, and to see the advantages and disadvantages inside the rough stone, requires a deep knowledge of stone gambling. And sometimes, even if you have enough experience, you will not be able to see the jadeite inside.
Mistaken eyes, this is the so-called saying that it is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade, and a master often misses.
Of course, all this is extremely difficult for others, but in Fang Mutian's eyes, it is nothing at all. After all, he has a perspective that others do not have.
With such a perverted ability as clairvoyance, this stone gambling is a piece of cake for Fang Mutian. He can make as much money as he wants from the stone gambling street with ease.
And now the only thing he has to do is to understand Jade.
Fang Mutian no longer hesitated, got up from the bed, turned on the computer, and began to look up the knowledge about jade.
Jade is a type of jade, and jade is divided into nephrite and jade, and jade is jadeite.
There are many types of jade, such as glass jade, ice jade, hibiscus jade, gold wire jade, etc. There are many kinds of jade. There are many aspects to judge the quality of jade, such as the jade water, color, water head, etc.
In addition, there is a lot of knowledge about jade. Fang Mutian had already made up his mind to make money by gambling on stones, so he quietly browsed the knowledge about jade.
When his mother asked him to have lunch, he only had a rough understanding of Jade.
After lunch, Fang Mutian returned to the bedroom again, and then looked up information about jade. Because today was Friday, he didn't think about going to school.
"Jade, originally was a very simple thing, but after getting to know it, I realized that there is so much knowledge in it." After sitting in front of the computer for an afternoon, Fang Mutian had a deeper understanding of jade.
"And the best jadeite, such as the glass-type imperial green, is a small pendant that can be sold for hundreds or tens of millions. No wonder so many people like to gamble on stones. If you are lucky, you will encounter the glass-type emperor green.
, that will definitely make you rich instantly.”
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer good jadeite, and domestic jewelry stores are very tight in this area, which is also the reason why jadeite is becoming more and more expensive.
After understanding all this, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Mutian did not go out. He was gambling on stones to make money. He was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time now.
After leaving the room, Fang Mutian went to see his father. After treatment, his father was much better now. In the past, he basically couldn't eat anything and relied on water infusion to maintain energy consumption. But now
But I can eat a little porridge.
Without disturbing Fang's father's rest, Fang Mutian left the bedroom. As soon as he left the bedroom, he was stopped by his mother again.
"Mu Tian, come here, Mom has something to tell you." Mother Fang said to Fang Mutian.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Fang Mutian asked.
Mother Fang said: "Mu Tian, your father is sick and you are here, so there is no problem now. However, after this incident, our family owes a lot of debt. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are your weekends again, so you can take care of you at home."
Dad, I’m going to go to work and try to pay back the loan as soon as possible.”
Fang Mutian was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Mom, I have no problem taking care of dad at home, but how long will it take to pay back the salary you earn from work?"
Fang Mutian's father received six rounds of chemotherapy, each time costing more than 40,000 yuan. Including other expenses, the total cost was 250,000 to 260,000 yuan.
Of course, in addition to their family's more than 50,000 yuan, it is almost 200,000 yuan, but it is not a small amount. Fang's mother's monthly salary is only more than 1,000 yuan, and the family still has to consume, and repaying the debt will simply have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey.
.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mother Fang's face was filled with sadness.
Fang Mutian said with relief: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this. Now that I have such powerful medical skills, am I still unable to pay off my debts? You listen to me and take good care of Dad at home. Don't go to work. You are at work.
The salary is not high, and it’s so tiring, so it’s just up to me to figure everything out.”
"You come up with a solution?" Mother Fang shook her head and said: "With your medical skills, I believe you can make a lot of money, but you still have to go to school. What you have to do now is study hard and get into a good university.
, how can I let you waste time to earn money to pay off debts?"
When Fang Mutian heard this, he felt very helpless and said: "Mom, don't worry, I know about the college entrance examination. When the time comes, I will enter a university that satisfies you and dad. Don't you still believe in your son?"
"Why wouldn't Mom believe you? But do you have so much time?" Mother Fang said with a bitter smile.
Fang Mutian smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry about this. I'm sensible. I know what my task is now and I won't delay my studies. Besides, Xu Jie won't let us pay back the money now. We have plenty of time."
.”
Seeing that Fang Mutian persisted, and what he said made sense, and it was hard to say anything else, Mother Fang nodded happily: "Well, you have grown up, and I believe you will be sensible."
"Mom, don't worry, I know." Fang Mutian said with a smile.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted from outside: "Brother Tian, are you at home?"
"Fat Fang?" Fang Mutian was stunned. When he heard the arrogant voice, he knew who it was.
Mother Fang smiled and said, "This kid always likes this."
Fang Mutian shook his head and went to open the door. When he opened the door, he found that Fatty Fang was not the only one outside the door, but Xu Jie was also there.
"Why did you two get together?" Fang Mutian asked in surprise when he saw the two people outside the door.
Xu Jie said with a smile: "Before school, Fatty and I made an agreement to go to the hospital to see my uncle together after school. When we went there, we found that no one was there. Fatty called his dad and found out that his uncle was gone.
Discharged."
"Brother Fang, why is Third Uncle discharged from the hospital?" Fatty Fang asked hurriedly.
At this time, Fang's mother came to the door and said with a smile: "Mu Tian, let the two of them come in quickly. If you have anything to do, come in and talk about it."
"Hello, aunt."
"Hello, third aunt." Xu Jie and Fatty Fang greeted each other when they saw Fang's mother.
"Come in quickly, don't stand outside." Mother Fang smiled and nodded.
After entering the house, Fang Mutian briefly explained the matter to Fatty Fang and Xu Jie. For these two people, Fang Mutian felt that there was no need to hide it, and he also believed that they would not tell the matter.
"Brother Tian, you...this is so awesome. You can actually cure cancer. Boy Xu Jie, please let me pinch you to see if I'm dreaming." Fatty Fang widened his eyes.
Eyes, he said to Xu Jie on the side.
"Go away! If you want to prove that you are not dreaming, pinch yourself." Xu Jie glared, "Damn it, how could there be such a shameless person?"
"It will hurt if you pinch yourself..." Fatty Fang said.
Mara Gobi, aren't you talking nonsense? It will hurt if I pinch you, but it won't hurt if I pinch you. Looking at the fat man in front of him, Xu Jie wanted to hit his size 42 face with his shoe.
Come on, this bastard is so annoying.
Fang Mutian rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you two, please be quiet and don't disturb my dad's rest."
"Okay, Brother Tian." Fatty Fang was stunned and nodded.
Xu Jie glared at the fat man, as if he wanted to kill this bastard with his eyes.
"By the way, Xu Jie, it may take some time before I can pay you back the money I borrowed from you. I hope you can give me some time." Fang Mutian said to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Brother Fang, I can give you anything you want."
"Thank you." Fang Mutian said gratefully.
"We two brothers, it's cliche to say this." Xu Jie said nonchalantly.
"By the way, Brother Tian, besides visiting our third uncle today, we have one more thing we want to discuss with you." The fat man said from the side.
"What's up?"
Fatty Fang said: "Didn't Xu Jie tell you about forming a gaming team before? After more than a month, we finally got the people together."
When Fang Mutian heard this, he immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Oh, which two people are you looking for?"
Xu Jie said: "Brother Fang, you know these two people. One is Liu Xiner and the other is Xiao Min from Millennium Bar."
"The two of them?" Fang Mutian's eyes widened when he heard this.
Fatty Fang said with a smile: "Yes, there are two of them. One is my sister-in-law, and the other is the lover of this guy Xu Jie. Hehe, how interesting this is."
"And what's even more interesting is that Liu Xiner's sister-in-law decided to name our team "Milk and Ice". Brother Tian, don't you think it's interesting?"
