Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"President Tong, bring a few friends to look at the materials." Cheng Yue greeted with a smile.

"Please come in." Lao Tong said as he made way. Cheng Yue did not introduce the new faces in the crowd, and he did not ask any questions.

Walking into the yard, Lao Tong welcomed us under the awning as usual. Since the stones had not been moved away yet, he decided to use it as a tea table for another day.

"President Tong, no need to bother. We have already spoken to Zhao Qin on the phone before coming here. We want to see the stone he selected."

Lao Tong twitched his lips, but still managed a smile, then raised his hand and slowly pointed towards the tea table.

"Let's not drink the tea yet, let's watch..."

"Mr. Cheng, this is the stone that Zhao Qin chose."

"Ha..." Cheng Yue widened his eyes. Wow, this thing is really big.

This guy also knew little about stones, and suddenly felt that the pieces he had picked might be too small.

However, a middle-aged man next to him couldn't help laughing, "Did he choose it himself? President Tong, you are so shameless, didn't you ask someone to judge the young man?"

President Tong looked at him in astonishment. Li Zexi, who had been silent all this time, said, "This is Aye, a famous jade appraiser in Hong Kong."

"Are you Ghost Eye?" Lao Tong had actually heard of this person.

The jade industry is limited. I heard that Ghost Eyes has a great reputation in Hong Kong, but as far as Lao Tong knows, his level is not as mysterious as his nickname.

I can only say that it is OK. I don't know whether the reputation is self-packaged or boasted by the people in Hong Kong.

Lao Tong also knows a few people in Hong Kong who deal in jade. He heard what they said, Myanmar has golden eyes, and Hong Kong also has ghost eyes.

But he knew that the two were not at the same level.

But today, seeing the person who was bragging right in front of him, Lao Tong was still quite surprised.

Aye is the affectionate name given to Guiyan by people in Hong Kong, a bit like calling the fifty-year-old Andy Lau "Hua Zai". His real name is Yu Ye.

Hearing that Old Tong knew his nickname, he couldn't help but reveal a rather arrogant smile, "It's just a flattery from everyone, President Tong, this is a piece of raw material, is the other party planning to admit defeat?"

Lao Tong was well-mannered, and answered truthfully, "I don't know what I'm thinking either."

Yu Ye waved his hand and said, "No need to look, we are sure to win, haha."

Li Zexi was delighted after hearing this, "Aye, are you sure?"

"If I misjudge this stone, I can dig out these two eyes."

Li Zexi clapped his hands, then rubbed them together, and suddenly realized, "President Tong, you can't tell them that the bet stone has been decided and cannot be changed."

The corner of Lao Tong's mouth twitched, and he chuckled, "No, no."

Cheng Yue didn't listen to what Li Zexi and Yu Ye said. His eyes were fixed on the other fifty-year-old man.

This person is not tall, thin, has dark skin, and looks a bit like a Southeast Asian.

The man did not speak out after just one look like Yu Ye did. Instead, he stretched out his hand and slowly touched the jadeite from the foam.

The next moment he closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.

Lao Tong first saw his hand pressed against the stone. This hand was very rough and covered with scratches of various sizes, which were caused by touching the stone for a long time.

As for closing your eyes, it is not as magical as the so-called induction, but using your whole body and hands to feel the changes in the sand and stone structure of the rough shell,

This change may not be clear to the naked eye, but it is more accurate to use the hands.

He continued to touch the stone for more than ten minutes. He then withdrew his hands, opened his eyes, and shook his head slightly. He spoke for the first time, "President, what is happening under this stone?"

Lao Tong looked at this person suspiciously, Cheng Yue smiled and whispered to the other side,

His whole body trembled violently, and he stared at the ugly, thin and even shriveled man in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, "You...you are..."

"It's just an empty reputation," the man waved his hand calmly, and then doubts appeared in his eyes again.

Lao Tong calmed down and answered the previous question, "Mr. Tie... This piece of material was placed like this when it was at the Ruili public auction. After it was determined that it was raw material,

I didn’t pay much attention to it. I thought the stone was of good shape and the price was not high, so I just left it there after I brought it back. If you ask me, to be honest, I haven’t really looked at it.”

The man in front of him was Tie Juping with golden eyes. He was not as high-profile as Yu Ye. After hearing what Lao Tong said, he just hummed lightly, then raised his head as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle Tie, look..." Cheng Yue leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"The other party is not an amateur, on the contrary, he should be an expert."

His words not only surprised Cheng Yue, but also Lao Tong. He stared at the tea table and looked at it carefully. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

Without waiting for him to ask, Tie Juping explained again, "The other party may have a true gambler mentality. In my opinion, the probability of this material failing is 99%.

But there is also a 1% chance that it will rise, and if it does rise, it will definitely be a big rise.

You gave him too little time, and maybe he thought it was unrealistic to find suitable material for gambling all over the world, so he chose this piece of material that was truly a one-knife hell."

He turned his head to look at Cheng Yue and said solemnly, "I said, there is no material that can be cut 100% to increase in value."

"Mr. Tie, have you ever seen such material increase in price after being cut?" Lao Tong also became curious.

"never seen it."

Just when they were secretly relieved, they heard him say, "But I've heard that my ancestor is good at research and likes to record things. He would record everything he has heard, seen, and compared about jade.

I have read the book left by my ancestors, which contains a record about a half-life stone.

It was also a huge stone, weighing more than 3000 kilograms. There were no large numbers of cutting tools at the time, so the requirements for jade were higher.

If such materials were cut, it would be a waste of manpower, so after the stones were dug out, they were put aside to fill the mine.

After a while, the local army that occupied the area wanted to test gunpowder. By chance, they placed the gunpowder next to the big stone.

After a deafening explosion, the boulder was blown into three or four pieces, and one of them actually showed a stripe, but my grandfather was not sure what happened to the stone in the end. "

"Are you saying that kind of situation will occur here?" Cheng Yue was extremely serious.

Tie Juping shook his head slowly. "There will never be two identical jades in this world. This stone is too big. I can only say that there is perhaps a one percent chance."

"Humph, this stone can stop swelling, I will just eat the stone." Yu Ye at the side was quite unhappy.

Because he felt that the other party was not that powerful, and instead stole all his limelight.

Tie Juping ignored him and looked at President Tong, "Thank you, sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he walked out the door. Lao Tong opened and closed his mouth, and he really wanted to keep the person here. If he could learn a few words from such a legendary figure, it might benefit him for half his life.

Cheng Yue didn't say anything else and followed him out the door. Li Zexi and Yu Ye looked at each other.

Yu Ye looked at the stone again, and then spoke, "Some people always leave a way out for themselves. They are afraid of losing, so they say a lot of weird things. Don't worry, Mr. Li.

I can assert that as long as the other party gambles with this stone, we will definitely win."
