Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Yu Peng's face was solemn, and he stared greedily and eagerly at the raw stone on the table with a small crack on it.

The color does not look deep, it is a light green level, and the water quality is at least between ice type and glass type.

Looking at its light transmittance, it feels like it becomes more transparent the further you go inside.

He was not a professional player, he was just traveling with his female companion and happened to have a basic understanding of the process of gambling on stones.

At the beginning, I tasted good luck and bought a piece of raw stone worth more than 4,000 yuan. When I saw it turned green, the price increased by more than ten times.

But in the following days, all the stones I chose were waste, to the point that I felt sorry for the shipping cost even if I took them back to use as stepping stones.

In just one week, Yu Peng lost nearly 600,000 or 700,000 yuan in Jinshiji.

I was planning to wander around the market today and didn't plan to continue gambling.

However, when I came across this rough stone with extremely high-quality appearance, I couldn't help but buy it.

Fortunately, this rough stone lived up to his high expectations. After just one cut, someone bid 36 yuan for it.

This is already several times the price he paid for the raw stone. If it were when he first arrived, Yu Peng would most likely choose to sell it.

The problem is that he lost a total of 700,000 yuan, plus the 140,000 yuan he spent on buying the raw stone, the total cost was nearly 900,000 yuan.

Even if it is sold at this price, it will still be a loss of more than 500,000 yuan, which is by no means a small amount.

Yu Peng had almost gambled away all the down payment for his wedding house, and even borrowed 100,000 yuan from his brother.

Even if I get 360,000, it won't be enough to fill the remaining gap.

It would be fine under normal circumstances, but this rough stone is in a very good situation, and it is obvious that there is a great chance of turning the tables.

If Yu Peng could keep a calm mind and sell it after weighing the pros and cons, he would not have fallen deeper and deeper into trouble.

Therefore, amid the shouting and exclamations of others, he quickly lost his judgment and became a little fanatical.

The woman standing next to him was beautiful and slim, but her expression revealed a hint of worry and hesitation.

Although she knew that Yu Peng had become addicted to gambling these days, she had no better solution except to give him a few indirect reminders.

The other party would not listen to her advice at all.

"It's green again!"

Someone in the crowd watching nearby shouted out with obvious jealousy, "It's not cracked or cottony, isn't that a bit too lucky?!"

Yu Peng's tense mood completely dissipated when he saw green in his eyes.

He visibly relaxed, and then an intense feeling of joy surged in his heart.

"Jingjing, we're back, we're all back!" Yu Peng grabbed Tian Jingjing's arms with both hands and shook them vigorously a few times.

Tian Jingjing didn't care about winning or losing in the gambling, but she obviously noticed Yu Peng's hard-to-conceal joy.

I couldn't help but feel happy for him, and took advantage of his good mood to ask tentatively.

"Brother Yu, has the value of this rough stone increased again?"

As soon as she asked, the whispering sounds of people around her increased significantly.

Although it didn't sound very realistic, Tian Jingjing guessed that it was most likely related to their raw stones.

Yu Peng suppressed his excitement, looked around, and coughed twice: "Anyone have an offer?"

There were many people surrounding the two of them, but after asking this question, there was no response for a long time.

The expression on Yu Peng's face froze obviously, and he stared at the window, which was obviously larger and darker in color, with some confusion.

After waiting for a long time, until Yu Peng's patience was somewhat exhausted, a voice finally sounded.

"Four hundred and sixty thousand!" The tone of the bidding voice was not enthusiastic, but rather it sounded like "you can sell it or not".

Yu Peng then listened to the quotes of several people and found that most of them were within 450,000 yuan.

This is basically the only person who offered the price of 460,000.

It seemed like the amount was one hundred thousand more than the previous offer, but Yu Peng's mood was obviously different.

The person who previously bid had a sense of urgency for fear that the item would be snatched away by someone else, but now he feels as if he is weighing the items carefully.

Yu Peng naturally realized this, and his face became gloomy. He didn't say a word for a long time.

"Is it still open?"

The stone cutter looked up at him twice, his tone and expression seemed very calm, as if he was accustomed to such things.

Yu Peng looked at the raw stone on the stage, feeling somewhat unwilling deep down in his heart. This was very different from the scene he had just imagined.

He couldn't help but lower his head and think.

……

Most of them gather in places where equipment is available to watch others open rough stones.

Among them, a group of people who specialized in picking up half of the raw stones emerged. With their own experience and vision,

When they come across a raw stone they like, they will choose to buy it at a premium and then find a way to cut the stone.

The advantage of this approach is that most of the materials purchased at a premium are available in-house.

The disadvantages are also obvious. The price of raw stones that have been polished to green will be much higher than that of ordinary materials.

If you make a mistake and cut it with the knife, there will be no room for regret.

Therefore, those who can pick up bargains in this way are not ordinary people, at least their vision is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Xie Tian looked around and saw the yard full of raw stones.

I still have some doubts about how many of the raw stones scattered on the ground are real.

After hearing the bland quotation in the distance, he couldn't help but move forward and take a few glances at the general situation.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked Aqiang.

"Master Aqiang, someone just offered 36 yuan for that rough stone, and the person chose it and continued to open it. Now it seems that it has turned green again."

"Why do I feel that the water quality and foundation are very good when I look at this material and the cross section with the window opened now?"

"Why are these people's enthusiasm for quoting prices not as high as before?"

When Aqiang heard this question, he smiled lightly, thought about what to say in his mind, and then explained in a low voice.

"When gambling on stones, the most important thing is the word gamble."

"For rough stones that have only been polished or slightly opened, no one can tell with the naked eye how much jade is in them and the specific quality issues."

"They bought this rough stone and were able to pay 36 yuan for the first time because this money could not only buy the value of the polished rough stone, but also give them a chance to get a bigger reward."

A Qiang paused here, looked at the two men and women who were surrounded, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"He just cut a bigger piece of jadeite for the second time, but it would be irrational to spend another sum of money to buy it."

"After all, if the rough stone is opened to a certain extent, it means that all the subsequent possibilities of this rough stone have been destroyed."

"The offer of over 400,000 you just heard is only a certainty of purchase. However, the chance of a bigger gain will obviously be lower, so no one is willing to raise the offer."

As soon as A Qiang finished saying this, he heard the surrounded young man gritting his teeth again.

"Keep going!"

He showed no sympathy at all and pointed at the two-story building in front of him and began to explain casually.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Brother Yan's territory."

"He also has businesses in northern Myanmar and South Vietnam. Basically, the local armed forces will give him some face."

As Aqiang was talking, he observed Jiang Ran's expression. When he realized that he couldn't see through his emotions,

He smiled awkwardly, "He's usually upstairs, how about I go upstairs and tell you about your situation and hear what Brother Yan has to say?"

A Qiang didn't quite understand what Jiang Ran meant, so he spoke very slowly, giving the illusion that he was testing him.

"No need."

Jiang Ran shook his head imperceptibly. He looked upstairs and said, "There's probably no one upstairs."

A Qiang was slightly stunned, then he spoke with a smile.

"Brother Yan sometimes goes to northern Myanmar or southern Vietnam, but he usually goes there to see if there are any good materials or gemstones, and usually comes back soon."

"Would you like to wait here, or look around first and I'll let you know when I have news?"

Jiang Ran looked around and said without comment: "Go find him first, and don't worry about what I should do."

In fact, Ah Qiang just asked casually and had no intention of making any arrangements on his own.

Since Jia Lei specifically reminded him to treat it seriously when he informed him, he spared no effort.

"That's fine. There are quite a lot of things going on around here, so I don't think it will be too boring."

Ah Qiang laughed it off, then said seriously, "I'll go find Brother Yan now!"

Jiang Ran looked at him indifferently as he quickly walked around the yard, as if he was looking for someone under Brother Yan's command.

Finally, Ah Qiang stopped beside a man who was washing stone-cutting tools, and he went over to have a detailed conversation with him.

Then he left in a hurry.

Jiang Ran found a table and chairs in the corner, walked over slowly, sat down, closed his eyes and quietly adjusted his breathing.

……

Bai Feifei looked over furtively and found that Jiang Ran really had his eyes closed.

He ignored the two of them and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile and coughed softly a few times.

Hearing the noise coming from her side, Xie Tian, ​​who was still looking around, immediately stopped and looked over suspiciously.

"Thank God, do you have money?" Bai Feifei rolled her eyes twice and asked in a somewhat impolite tone as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xie Tian's round face couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, but after realizing that she was not joking, he nodded.

"It's all in the card. There's no cash."

"My card is a secondary card, and it has a limit. The maximum limit for the day cannot exceed 20,000 yuan."

Xie Tian was quite honest. When Bai Feifei asked him casually, he revealed all his past clearly.

Bai Feifei couldn't help but shrug her nose and snorted in disdain when she heard that.

"Okay, okay, I know you don't have any money, so I definitely won't ask you to borrow it."

Xie Tian was choked by her and couldn't help but scratch his head, wanting to speak in defense.

Unfortunately, before he could speak, Bai Feifei squeezed into the crowd out of curiosity.

The person surrounded by the crowd was Yu Peng, who was lucky enough to get green with one cut and no cracks or cotton wool with two cuts.

He made his decision after hesitating for a long time.

"Keep going!"
