Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran shifted his gaze back to the stone of the stall.

The way he was so focused made Jiang Yan feel extremely contemptuous.

"This guy is still pretending." Looking at his dress, he doesn't look like someone from the jewelry industry. Gambling on stones is indeed not something that ordinary people would play.

He felt that Lin Ran was pretending to be on top of him and just took this opportunity to show off his knowledge.

"Aunt Chen, there are no good stones in this stall. Come and take a look." Jiang Yan said.

Chen Li didn't want her daughter to stay with Lin Ran. When she saw Lin Ran picking stones at this stall, Jiang Yan led her the way.

She also rode the donkey downhill and said to Ke Yu: "Xiao Yu, come with me."

Ke Yu shook his head firmly: "No."

"This child!" Chen Li said and was about to pull Keyu, but Keyu was no longer a little girl and couldn't pull him no matter what.

Jiang Yan was even more furious when he saw this scene, but he didn't dare to show it.

He came to Lin Ran and saw the way he was choosing carefully. He smiled and said, "This brother also likes to gamble on stones? Is this your first time and it feels new?"

Lin Ran felt like there were flies flying around his ears. He didn't even bother to smile at this kind of people, and just focused on himself.

"Actually, the best place to bet on stones is the Burmese public market."

"As for the origin of stone gambling, although it only started in the past few years, in fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, people who played jade began to gamble on stones. The most typical one is the old jade merchant from Tengchong."

"In order to support their families, these people left China and went to Myanmar to mine jade."

"Have you heard of Tengchong? They are descendants of the cultural hometown and are deeply influenced by Confucianism. They are the ones who created a new generation of jadeite legends."

"However, the manual excavation methods at that time were relatively backward, and the mining volume was very small. Even at the most famous sites now, the number of jadeite rough stones dug out is very small."

"For example, if you are lucky enough to see a few jadeite objects handed down from the Qing Dynasty, you will find that they only paid attention to the color and did not pay much attention to the planting water, so there is a saying of 'emerging green'."

Lin Ran originally didn't want to talk to this guy, and he didn't understand that he wasn't familiar with him. As long as he ignored him, he would just shut up.

Unexpectedly, he was a better teacher than imagined, and he actually started to popularize science for me.

Stone gambling has indeed been on the rise abroad for some time, but it was not until after the opening up that it began to gradually become popular in China. Now it is at a critical period of development.

Most people have their first real understanding of jadeite.

During this period, more and more people who have participated in stone gambling abroad are paying attention to the stone gambling market.

It is true that some people have made huge profits through stone gambling. With their publicity and momentum, more and more people have devoted themselves to the stone gambling industry, especially those who are desperate and have certain temporary assets. They all hope to change the stone gambling industry. destiny.

Stone gambling is now recognized by the market, at least it is not illegal.

But the word "Gamble" in the name means that this is not an easy task.

Stone gambling requires not only knowledge and experience, but also a lot of luck. Even stone gambling experts have difficulty in accurately judging the quality and value of the jadeite inside the stone.

People who have participated in stone gambling abroad will have some experience.

Compared with newcomers, it is indeed not something that can be learned overnight, but Lin Ran knows that they are actually half-experienced.

Those who really know how to look at rocks have already made a lot of money.

Stone gambling is not a low-risk investment, as there is a saying in the stone gambling world.

"No matter how deep the industry is, it is not as good as the people's hearts."

Betting on stones naturally carries risks, but it does bring opportunities to a small number of people.

However, under the fanning of these people, it became a high probability event, which inspired more people to participate in stone gambling.

In the past, it was just a small fuss in Panjiayuan and Liulifang. Now the big market has come to the capital, and more and more people are participating.

Jiang Yan has been thinking about it at the side, and at the same time he has not forgotten to start a new round of flattery to Chen Li.

Jiang Yan said: "Aunt Chen, the quality of the stones over there is good."

"Wait a minute." When Chen Li saw that her daughter refused to leave, she naturally did not dare to leave her and Lin Ran alone, so she waited patiently beside her.

Lin Ran looked at it for a long time and felt that the quality of the rough jade stones in this stall was indeed average.

Standing up, Chen Li said, "Let's go over there and have a look."

Lin Ran didn't trust Jiang Yan's tips at all. There were no stone betting experts in this era.

But there was nothing else to do now, so he followed Jiang Yan and walked towards the stall not far away.

Jiang Yan pretended to select for a while, pointed to a rough stone and said, "Aunt Chen, based on my many years of stone gambling experience, there must be something good in this stone."

He deliberately lowered his voice, shielded the boss with his hand and said, "There must be ice in it!"

Chen Li suddenly became interested, and she walked over and took a closer look.

She was an expert when it came to jewelry, but when it came to gambling on stones, she was a complete novice, and she couldn't tell the clues.

He asked curiously: "How did you see it?"

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, picked up a strong flashlight from the table of the stall, and pointed the light of the flashlight at the surface of the original stone.

He acted quite professionally.

After watching for a while, Jiang Yan said, "Aunt Chen, look at this."

He pointed at the surface with his finger: "It's very thin here. You can shine the green inside with a flashlight."

"Look, there is a sense of transparency here. If it can create this feeling, the water inside must be good."

Chen Li had only seen other people bet on stones before, so she came to join in the fun today. After hearing what he said, it seemed to make sense.

He approached Jiang Yan, looked at it for a while under the light of a strong flashlight, and agreed, "Well, it's indeed in good condition."

Chen Li also discovered a small opening on the surface, where the green luster came from.

You can vaguely see green objects inside.

She was as pleasantly surprised as if she had discovered a new world.

Lin Ran watched silently from the side, and these woolen materials had small windows opened.

After mining, in order to confirm whether it is the original stone, quarry workers will use tools to slightly break the outer skin of the stone and observe the inside, which is like opening a small skylight, so it is called a window.

Chen Li bit her lip. She thought Jiang Yan was indeed a good person.

Not only is he good at doing business, but he is also quite knowledgeable in stone gambling.

"Aunt Chen, this piece of wool is indeed good, and the rough stone comes from the old pit of Damakan. The rough stone coming out of it is of good quality and can easily be of the highest quality." Jiang Yan said.

He is really optimistic about this piece of wool, and it is not just for sales.

Originally, he planned to buy it himself, but after seeing Ke Yu today, he decided to give the wool to Chen Li as a meeting gift.

As long as she can produce good things, Chen Li will realize her own value.
