Chapter VII Stone Gambling Festival

The East China Sea Stone Gambling Festival this time is jointly organized by more than a dozen well-known jewelry companies across the country. The scale is unprecedented in the country.

Tianji Jewelry City is a 28-story building, and the Stone Gambling Festival is held on the first to fourth floors of the building.

Arriving at the Tianji Building by car, Zhang Jun saw a lot of people at the entrance of the building, shuttling back and forth non-stop. It seems that there are not a few people participating in the Stone Gambling Festival, which is also a manifestation of the success of the organizer's publicity.

Entering the first floor of the building, Lin Xian asked Zhang Jun to walk first because of some business engagements, and she took the elevator to the upper floor alone.

Zhang Jun then entered Zone D, ready to buy some stones to play with.

The entire Stone Gambling Festival is divided into four trading areas, namely Area A, Area B, Area C, and Area D. Among them, the value of rough jadeite in Area A is the highest, and the price is more than one million yuan; the stones in Area B are the lowest. The price is 100,000 yuan; the price of stones in area C is generally more than 10,000 yuan.

As for District D, you can buy it for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is the cheapest of the four districts. At the same time, this district is also the place with the largest traffic.

Zhang Jun is now in Zone D. He walks slowly close to the sales counter, secretly staring at these stones, hoping to find valuable emeralds.

In the casino, he won two million, which is enough for him to buy many rough stones he likes.

The stones sold here are divided into three categories. The first category is gambling goods. Even the sellers can’t tell whether they have jade or which kind of jade they have. This category is the most gambling and basically depends entirely on luck.

The second category is the open goods. The open goods are cut open, and the internal situation is clear at a glance. Basically, the value of the stone can be determined. Of course, bright goods are also risky. It is possible that the jadeite exposed from the cut surface is of good quality, but in fact the interior does not reach this level at all.

The third category is semi-luminous material, which only has a window on the stone, so that the internal situation can be partially seen. This kind of stone is also more risky, so it is called a half-gamble.

Half-gambling half-bright materials and bright goods, generally with a bit of quality, the price is very high, even if the jadeite is cut out, the money earned is limited, so Zhang Jun is not very interested in them, his focus is on the most gambling gambling goods.

Although he had already seen through Lin Xian's jadeite samples before, Zhang Jun was still worried. He decided to go through the clear objects here to learn more about the internal structure of the stone, so as to make his judgment more accurate.

The four areas are all equipped with stone-cutting machines. After customers buy stones, they can be cut open on the spot. The process of dissolving stones was very exciting, and many buyers stared at the stones they bought with wide-eyed eyes.

And when the stone was untied, some of them showed smiles, while others were frowning. The former naturally made money by gambling up, while the latter lost money by gambling down.

Along the way, Zhang Jun found that most people were losing money, and only a few people made money. Among them was an old man who, at a cost of 3,000 yuan, cut out Laokeng waxy jadeite worth more than 100,000 yuan. Holding the cut stone, he was so happy that his teeth were exposed.

After seeing through a large number of stones, Zhang Jun had a bottom line in his mind, and began to check the gambling goods, looking for stones worth selling.

This process is very boring. There are thousands of stones, and he has to look through them one by one, and then choose the one he wants. He walked slowly, and whenever he saw a satisfactory stone, he asked the nearby service staff to pick it up and put it in a specific position.

The service staff in the lobby was very sufficient. The manager saw that Zhang Jun had already taken three rough stones, and knew that he was a big customer, so he specially sent a person to push the cart and follow behind to help him carry the stones.

After Zhang Jun had the ability to see through, he set himself the principle of keeping a low profile, so he didn't plan to buy too much. Since the number of selections is not large, it is natural to choose some high-quality rough jadeite.

When he passed a stone the size of a small watermelon, his heart shook. This stone is not small, the outer shell looks ordinary, but inside it hides an apple-sized emerald.

According to his experience of seeing through the samples, this jadeite belongs to the ice-type purple jadeite, which is of high quality. He couldn't determine the value of this emerald for a while, but it must be above the million level.

His heart beat violently, and he thought to himself: "Stone gambling is really a profitable business. This stone is only worth 80 million yuan, and it can be sold for hundreds of millions! This money can be bought in a prime location in Donghai City." The suite is on sale!"

After walking almost all over the D area, Zhang Jun bought ten rough stones and spent more than 60,000 yuan. The largest of these rough stones are the size of a watermelon, and the small ones are as small as a fist, but all of them contain good-quality jadeite inside.

When Zhang Jun came to the counter and was about to pay the bill, Lin Xian came back. Behind her, followed a thirty-year-old man in a suit, about 1.7 meters tall, with his left hand resting on Lin Xian's slender and soft waist vaguely. Moreover, his eyes stayed on Lin Xian most of the time, and there was greed and possessiveness in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Zhang Jun was very upset, thinking about the origin of this thing, he seemed to be trying to trick his senior, and he was doing something. While thinking, he waved to Lin Xian and said loudly, "Sister, I'm here."

The young man in the suit also heard Zhang Jun's shout, and couldn't help frowning slightly. While following Lin Xian, he asked, "Lin###, this kid calls you senior sister, could it be your classmate?"

Lin Xian said: "Yes, his name is Zhang Jun, and he is my alumnus from Tunghai University." After speaking, the two of them had already walked over.

Before Lin Xian could speak, the young man's eyes had already fallen on Zhang Jun's shopping cart. When he saw the ten rough rough stones of average quality, he couldn't help showing a touch of sarcasm, and said, "Your stones don't look very good. , it is estimated that it will be difficult to protect capital.”

Perhaps because the person in front of him intentionally got close to Lin Xian, Zhang Jun was very tired of him, and now he heard him criticize the stone he bought, and he couldn't help saying coldly: "Nonsense, the key to betting on stones is the word 'gambling'. Of course there are risks."

Zhang Jun's attitude made the young people feel dissatisfied. His expression changed slightly, and he said: "I am Xu Bo, the department manager of Donghai Qianfu Jewelry. I am one of the organizers of this stone gambling festival. I still have a bit of vision, ### Don’t be unconvinced.”

Lin Xian didn't quite understand why Zhang Jun, who was always very humble and polite, spoke so harshly at this moment? However, she was not willing to offend the young man in front of her, because the family wanted to buy jadeite, and they would most likely have to deal with this person. She hurriedly smoothed things over and said with a smile, "That's right, Zhang Jun. Manager Xu's grandparents are all stone gambling experts. You need to learn more."

Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Really?" He turned around and randomly picked up a fist-sized rock from the shopping cart, and said to Xu Bo calmly, "Manager Xu, do you dare to bet with me?"
