Chapter 96 [Betting on Crystals! 】

At 9:20 in the morning, Dong Xuebin pulled out a one-shoulder backpack from the drawer at the bottom of the wardrobe, put the 110,000 yuan in the bank that he had not had time to deposit in the last sale of rare books, and went downstairs to the east side of the road. ICBC withdraws money, but this branch is relatively small. For transactions of more than 50,000 cash, an appointment must be made one day in advance. Dong Xuebin, who wanted to withdraw 100,000, was too lazy to go to the sub-branch in Qiaobei. 50,000 is 50,000. , a total of 160,000 was enough. He took the money and put it in his schoolbag. He clenched the collar of his jacket, took a taxi on the side road in the cold wind, and went to the Panjiayuan Flea Market on the South Third Ring Road. At the outer end of the fence, families are looking for places to sell wool.

"Boss, do you have jade wool?"

"No, we sell finished products here, you can go to another house and ask."

"Boss, please ask, can you bet on stones and jade here?"

"Yo, no that."

"Boss, do you know where you can gamble on stones?"

"Gambling stones, there doesn't seem to be a lot of Panjiayuan. If you really want to play, you'd better go to Chaoyang, Haidian. Every week, there is a special auction of wool materials. The price is right and the quality of the materials is high." Dong Xuebin also knows the Haidian side. The Antique City has a place to auction wool materials, but the process there is to first look at the materials, then bid and pay for the auction, and the last step is to open the materials, which wastes a lot of time in the middle. In just six minutes, it takes a long time to even raise a placard for auction. It is far from enough, so Dong Xuebin set his sights on ordinary retail transactions from the beginning.

Walk and walk, look and find, ask and ask.

Suddenly, the creaking sound of the cutting machine floated over from a distance.

Dong Xuebin's eyes lit up. He had seen other people gamble on stones when he was working before, so he couldn't understand the voice any more clearly. When he looked up, he immediately walked over. But when he stood before and after the door of the shop, what made Dong Xuebin slightly startled was that the material that the man bent over and cut with the cutter was not jade wool. Judging from the color and shape, it seemed to be a rough crystal, a rough natural crystal. Bet on crystals? This is really uncommon, Dong Xuebin hesitated for a moment, then stepped up and looked curiously. Betting on crystal, betting on agate, betting on turquoise, betting on seed material, betting on jadeite, these can be collectively called betting on stone, so Dong Xuebin does not necessarily have to choose jadeite wool or Hetian jade seed material, betting on crystal can also bet big with small .

The sound of the cutting machine stopped, and a large window was opened on the side of the rough amethyst.

The seller is a young couple. Upon seeing this, the girl asked, "Is this good? How much can I sell it for?"

"The inside is of average quality." The slightly chubby boss put down the cutting machine and picked up the rough stone. "It's worth 1,800 yuan."

"It's only 1,000 yuan if you buy 5,000?" The girl slapped her boyfriend angrily when she heard it. "I told you not to buy, don't buy. Look, you lose the bet, right?" It is ten bets and nine loses. Although betting on crystal is not as risky as betting on jadeite, it is not much worse. It is normal to open up and collapse. If you really spend five thousand yuan, you can make a dollar and tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a bit abnormal. In addition, Beijing is not a place for professional stone gambling. Most of the rough stones shipped are the “leftovers” left over from the place of origin and the main rough stone sales places, so the probability of opening up is even higher. is extremely small.

Over there, the boy wanted to save face. Hearing his girlfriend complaining, he gritted his teeth, "This and that! Two more!"

The girl said angrily: "Don't buy it! What can you do with that money!"

The boy didn't listen, so he gave the fat boss money to cut the stone.

"Okay, I just cut it like that." The fat boss held the cutting machine in his hand, turned on the switch to make the gear squeak, and then held the rough stone steadily with his hand, rubbing the surface of the rough stone with the gear little by little. The hardness of crystal is not comparable to jade, so the rough crystal is much faster than jade wool.

a knife...

Five knives...

ten knives...

After a while, two colorless crystal rough stones, one large and one small, were opened. The larger one had pores and air bubbles, which were basically rubbed off.

It's not worth a few dollars, and the small piece is not a big problem. It's just mediocre, and it's not worth the price when he bought it.

In the quarrel, the young couple hugged the original stone and left angrily.

Not long after, another elderly old man came. He spent ten thousand yuan to buy a large piece of citrine. As a result, there was an impurity the size of a small fingernail in it. The ten thousand yuan was lost. . At eleven o'clock, another group of people who looked like they were traveling bought four or five pieces of natural crystal rough. lost all.

This is stone gambling. There are always far more losers than winners. Success or failure depends entirely on luck.

Dong Xuebin looked a little guilty. After looking at it for so long, he hasn't seen anyone open up and make money. Can he really do it?

"Little brother, let's try it out?" The fat boss looked at him while wiping his hands with a towel.

Standing at the door, Dong Xuebin wasn't ready to start, he shook his head, first entered the store and looked at the crystal ornaments in the glass display rack, pointing to a few of them to inquire about the market, "How much is this pink crystal necklace? Hundred? What about the amethyst Guanyin? Twenty thousand? What about the hair crystal ornaments? Thirty thousand?" There are from ten to one hundred thousand, with different colors, different sizes, different degrees of brightness, different degrees of purity, and different prices. Also great.

"The finished product is expensive." The fat boss tempted: "Would you like to play gambling stones? If you get it right, you can get rich overnight!"

Dong Xuebin smiled and said nothing, and if he didn't make it right, he could go bankrupt!

After eating at noon, Dong Xuebin returned to the crystal shop again, spent an hour observing and studying, and gradually gained a general understanding of the value of gambling crystals and crystals. Natural citrine is more expensive, natural citrine is more expensive than natural colorless crystal, thicker color is more expensive than light color, single color is more expensive than mixed color, high purity is more expensive than low purity, heavy weight is smaller than weight The rough stone that can be used as a crystal ball is more expensive than the rough crystal stone of the same color and same weight, the one with hair inside is more expensive than the one without hair, and the one with smooth hair is more expensive than the one with messy hair.

Knowing this, Dong Xuebin probably had an outline in his heart, and began to pinch the watch to calculate the time required to solve a rough crystal. It takes a long time to wipe the stone from the edge a little, ten minutes is also it, fifteen minutes is also it, but if you don't take into account the loss of materials and other conditions, you can cut off a large piece of the side of the rough stone with one knife, and the time is still relatively fast, that is, After dozens of seconds, the hardness is far less than that of jade wool.

After ten minutes, everything is ready.

Dong Xuebin took a deep breath, Ok! let's start!
