Chapter 969: Stone Gambling Event
Tengchong is not the largest jade producing area in Asia, but it is the largest jade production and trading market in China.
These days, many jade merchants came from all over the country one after another, and some people who specially came to participate in the stone gambling, gathered in Tengchong, and it was lively.
However, the most attractive thing about this event is the stone betting.
There are many kinds of stone gambling, and the things to bet on are also different.
Some people put a few stones on the street stalls, the small ones are about the size of a fist, and the big ones are even several hundred kilograms. This kind of bet is usually a small gamble, but if you are lucky, you can also get a treasure.
But there are many scams and "fake stones" in this kind of small stalls. Most of the people who come to play are tourists from other places, or some owners with relatively little money. Those who really have capital in the stone gambling industry will choose large stone gambling. Large stone gambling fields not only have reputation guarantees, but also security guarantees.
These large stone casinos are all set up by local big families, chambers of commerce, and forces in Tengchong. Generally, there will be no "scams", and even if they open to the best jade, the stone casinos will not "forcibly" for the sake of reputation. Leave.
The Stone Gambling Conference was held in a village called 'Sha Town' in Tengchong, and the three largest stone gambling venues were those opened by Liao's family, Shan's family, and Hei Xiong.
The name of the Liao family's stone gambling field is "Fengming Pavilion", which means that there is a phoenix coming, which is an auspicious sign.
Almost everyone in Tengchong knew about the gambling between the Liao family and Hei Xiong, so today's 'Fengming Pavilion' was crowded with people from the entire upper class circle of Tengchong.
Zhuo Bufan and Liao Zhiping sat on the wooden chairs equally, and below them were the three sons of the Liao family and some juniors.
"Who is that young man who is actually equal to the old man of the Liao family?"
"I don't know, the face is very raw?"
"You don't know, that is the miraculous doctor invited by the Liao family, and he cured Mr. Liao's illness."
In the crowd of onlookers, buzzing, buzzing, many people were discussing Zhuo Bufan who was sitting next to Liao Zhiping.
"He is a miracle doctor. He is less than twenty years old. He should still be studying. How can he know medical skills?"
"I heard that the Liao family found many famous doctors but were helpless. I didn't expect a child to be so powerful."
"Sea water cannot be measured, and people cannot be judged by their appearance!"
Suddenly someone lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid you only know one of them, but not the other?"
"Liu Gui, do you have any news?"
"Hehe, you all know that Mr. Liao has a granddaughter who is as beautiful as a flower and is as smart as ice and snow. Last time I saw that little miracle doctor and Miss Liao's family shopping together, and they seem to be very close."
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Liao is married to Shan Wen, how could she be with the little genius doctor?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. The last time the little miracle doctor had dinner with Ms. Liao and Shan Wen, Shan Wen's face turned green."
"I'll go, there's still this kind of thing, there's a good show to watch today."
"Fengming Pavilion" is in the village, and there are raw ores dug out of the pit everywhere. From the surface, they look no different from ordinary stones, but there is a high possibility of top-quality jade hidden in them.
The Liao family occupies the east alone, while Hei Xiong and others occupy the west.
In the north are the Shan family and others, and in the south are the president of the Tengchong Chamber of Commerce and others, all of whom came to witness the stone betting meeting.
"Boss Bear."
"President Shan."
"President Fang."
Hei Xiong and an old man from the Shan family nodded to each other, and then looked at the old man with a cane in the chamber of commerce. One of the two was Shan Xiongjie, the helm of the Shan family, and the other was Fang Chengfu, the president of the Tengchong chamber of commerce.
"Dad, what's going on?" Liao Changjing looked at Liao Zhiping, wondering.
Liao Zhiping's expression was calm, and he seemed to have guessed this scene long ago, "It seems that Black Bear, the Shan Family and the Chamber of Commerce are all standing together, and they have definitely decided that I, Liao Zhiping, am old and I will quit the stage of Tengchong. "
"The relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and Hei Xiong has always been good, but the Shan family has nothing to do with us..." Liao Changjing glanced at Liao Ke from the corner of his eye.
"The marriage between the Shan family and our Liao family is also because of interests. The world is full of profit, and the world is full of profit." Liao Zhiping sighed deeply.
The Liao family has indeed been going downhill in the past few years, coupled with his advanced age, and the second generation of the Liao family has no outstanding candidates, these people naturally believe that the Liao family is going to decline.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Liao Ke looked at his grandfather with some guilt, and said with red eyes.
If she was not so self-willed, she would have married Shan Wen earlier, and the Shan family would definitely help the Liao family.
"I don't blame you for these things." Liao Zhiping shook his head, "But even if we win today, if Hei Xiong joins forces with the Shan Family and the Chamber of Commerce, it will be very difficult to get the mining rights of the mine."
"Mr. Zhuo, you drink tea." Li Yunfei didn't care about these things, and made tea for Zhuo Bufan first. She believed that as long as Zhuo Bufan was here, the Liao family would be fine.
Zhuo Bufan took a sip of his tea lightly, without raising his eyelids, he felt two eyes of resentment.
These two venomous gazes belonged to Shan Wen and Hei Bao.
Shan Wen squinted at Zhuo Bufan and then looked at Liao Ke, "Hmph, I think it is Zhuo Bufan who can help your Liao family today, or my Shan family who can help your Liao family. After today, Liao Ke, you might cry Come and beg me on your knees."
"Brother, it was that kid who hurt me. When the matter is over, you must avenge me." The black panther stared in Zhuo Bufan's direction, lowered his head, and said to the black bear sitting on the wooden chair.
"It's that kid, I really can't tell." Hei Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, but the sharp light came out from the slits of his eyes, with a bit of chill, holding two white jade balls in his hands, rubbing them non-stop.
...
"If Zhuo Bufan hadn't offended Shan Wen, why would the Shan family suddenly turn against each other." Liao Yun who had been silent all this time said suddenly.
In the past few days, it has been spread in Tengchong circles that the matter of Zhuo Bufan and Liao Ke made Shan Wen wear a green hat.
"Brother, I have nothing to do with Mr. Zhuo. Shan Wen himself misunderstood, and I have nothing to do with Shan Wen." Liao Ke gritted his silver teeth and argued.
The rest of the Liao family looked at Zhuo Bufan with strange eyes.
Although Zhuo Bufan saved Liao Zhiping and is the benefactor of the Liao family, but now that he is doing such a first show, his relationship with Liao Ke is unclear, and the relationship between the Shan family and the Liao family is stiff.
"Old man..." Butler Huang suddenly looked excited, strode up to Liao Zhiping's side, bowed his head and whispered something in his ear.
Liao Zhiping's expression changed slightly, and he stood up from the chair, "What are you talking about, Miss Bai is here?"
The rest of the Liao family were also stunned. Although the provincial capital of gambling stones is lively, but what class is the Bai family, how could they come to Tengchong to participate in such a grand stone gambling event.
Comparing the Liao family, Shan family, Hei Xiong and others with the Bai family is the difference between a giant elephant and an ant. Who has such a big face, can let the helm of the Bai family, the eldest lady of the Bai family, come in person!
