Chapter 725 "Waste"
Just one gate is guarded by at least ten mirror condensing masters, which is enough to show that Li Linglong attaches great importance to Stone Gambling City.
Ordinary people need to show a pass to enter. This pass was issued by Li Linglong personally. It is only given to those who really want to bet on stones and know how to bet on stones. This is to prevent people with nothing to do from entering here to watch the fun.
Neither Lin Tian nor Wang Yuan had passes, but Xiao Feiyan was here, so they walked in directly.
Gambling Stone City is divided into four areas, Area A, Area B, Area C, and Area D.
The price of rough stones in Zone A is generally between 10 million and 50 million, which is the most expensive.
The rough stones in area B are generally between 1 million and 10 million.
The rough stones in area C generally range from 100,000 to 1 million.
The rough stones in area d generally cost between one thousand and one hundred thousand.
The rough stones in area a are all shipped from Myanmar and selected by experts. Relatively speaking, they have the highest chance of becoming green.
However, the rough stones in Area A are too expensive, easily costing tens of millions. Without a certain value, I really don’t dare to go to Area A to gamble on stones.
The rough stones in Area D are the cheapest, but they are also selected by experts and have the lowest chance of turning green. Therefore, no one who really gambles on stones will come to Area D. Those who come to Area D are all small businessmen or tourists. Just bet, play, and try your luck.
Therefore, areas b and c have the largest number of people, the price is acceptable to them, and the chance of getting green is not low, so they can take a gamble.
Xiao Feiyan knew Lin Tian's worth and took Lin Tian directly to Area A to collect it.
"Hey, Xiao Feiyan, don't go to Area A yet, let's go to Area B to practice our skills first."
Xiao Feiyan was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and walked into the door of Area B.
Area b is a three-story building in a cone shape. The ground floor is the largest and the upper floor is the smallest.
Relative to the quality of the rough stone, the higher you go, the higher the quality of the rough stone, and of course, the more expensive the price.
When I walked in, there were about forty or fifty people on the first floor. The original stones were placed in front of the counter, and a waiter stood every three meters to serve customers to the greatest extent.
Lin Tiandong glanced at it with Zhu Tianxia and found that several rough stones contained high-quality jadeite.
If you buy it and cut it open, it will definitely increase your bet.
However, these high-quality jadeite obviously did not meet Lin Tian's discernment. What he was interested in were the top-grade ice species.
"We can take a close look at which rough stone the handsome man has chosen." Xiao Feiyan asked from the side.
The gamblers who were looking at the rough stones were all holding magnifying glasses and flashlights to carefully look at the lines on the rough stones. They wanted to put their eyes on the rough stones. But Lin Tian was standing in the middle, his eyes sweeping around, following the others. His behavior was completely different, so Xiao Feiyan looked worried and reminded him.
"Let's take a look upstairs!" Lin Tian said calmly.
Afterwards, several people walked upstairs together.
There were more than a dozen people on the second floor, and one of them was very angry, almost to death.
And there were four people surrounding him, all of them grinning, looking like they were gloating about his misfortune and it was none of their business.
The angry man's surname was Fan, and his name was Fan Jin. He had the same name as the man who was in his fifties and passed the examination.
But that guy's life was quite a failure. Before the age of fifty, he was useless. He didn't even have enough to eat, and he was hurt by his father-in-law all day long.
But this Fan Jin is quite successful. He is forty-eight years old and has been famous for more than ten years.
He is just an ordinary person, and he is famous not because of how powerful he is, but because he has an eye for stone betting that ordinary people can only hope to match.
In other words, he is a master of stone gambling and a jewelry tycoon. The rough stones he buys have the highest chance of turning green and are of high quality. They are well-known throughout China.
So when he was in his thirties, he became a multi-millionaire. After more than ten years of hard work, he has now opened three jewelry stores with total assets of over one billion, and countless people want to hire him. Come to choose rough stones for yourself, so when outsiders see Fan Jin, they must respectfully call out, Master Fan.
However, gambling on stones is all about the word "gamble". Except for cheaters like Xiang Lin Tian, the rest of the people, even Master Fan's level, cannot guarantee that everything they cut out will be gambling.
No, today, he was so angry that he spent 20 million to buy six rough stones. Five of them have been cut into pieces. Three of them are scraps, and the remaining two have just a little bit of green. He said that with these five yuan, he almost lost all his money. In one fell swoop, he lost more than 10 million.
He could only put all his hopes on the last rough stone.
This rough stone is huge, weighing more than 20 kilograms, and is about the size of a washbasin. Few people dare to buy such a large rough stone, because there is little chance of a large rough stone turning green, and ordinary people simply don't dare to buy it.
This large piece of rough stone has been here for nearly six months, and the price is quite high, as much as five million.
Judging from the texture and color of the surface, this rough stone is indeed a rough stone that can be cut into jadeite. However, because it is too big and expensive, almost no one dares to buy it.
As for Fan Jin, he has been staring at this rough stone for more than a month. At first, he was hesitant, but yesterday, he made a small fortune, so he took the money today and spent 20 million when he was happy. I bought six rough stones, and this large rough stone was one of them.
Fan Jin placed the rough stone in front of the stone dissolving machine, staring at the rough stone with his heart thumping in his throat.
If this large rough stone still cannot be cut into high-quality jadeite, he will lose all his money.
Even though his assets were over one billion, he felt a little distressed when he suddenly lost twenty million.
More importantly, his reputation.
If even six rough stones cannot be cut into high-quality jadeite, Master Fan's reputation will be ruined.
He is able to achieve what he is today, with a net worth of one billion, all because of his stone betting skills. His jewelry shop can stand out among many jewelry shops because of his reputation.
Some people bought jewelry from his jewelry store in order to please him. It is precisely because of this that he can be so successful.
No matter what, this large rough stone must be cut into jadeite, which is related to his reputation and his career.
"It will definitely be possible to cut it out this time, it will definitely be possible, it must be possible."
He clenched his fists and stared at the original stone. He was so nervous that he dug his fingernails into the flesh.
When the people on the side heard that Master Fan was going to cut into this large rough stone, they all came closer, stared at the large rough stone, and talked about it.
"This large rough stone looks good to me, but I just don't dare to buy it. It seems that only masters like Master Fan dare to buy it."
"snort!"
One person sneered disdainfully, "Masters are nothing. Master Fan was a master when he was young, but in recent years, the chance of increasing the bet has been greatly reduced. Didn't you see just now that the first five rough stones were all useless?"
"Yes, Master Fan is a bit old, and his eyesight is no longer working well. When people get old, they just can't do it anymore."
"If he can't cut it out this time, he will cry in apology."
"No way. Master Fan is a jewelry tycoon. Twenty million is nothing."
"Who said that? Look, Master Fan is so nervous that his face has turned the color of eggplant."
"Twenty million, if it were me, I would go bankrupt."
……,…….
There was playfulness, sarcasm, and expectation in everyone's tone.
Soon, a stone-cutting master held a large rough stone and placed it at the cutting edge of the stone-cutting machine. He asked, "Where to cut it."
Master Fan took out a pen from his pocket, drew a trajectory on the original stone, and said, "Follow this incision and cut."
The harsh cutting sound sounded, and everyone's expressions became more and more nervous. At first, they only cut off a small piece, which was to open the skylight.
Master Fan stepped forward and took a look. He felt like a deflated rubber ball, and his mood had sunk to the bottom.
The color isn't very good, and I'm afraid, it's also a scrap.
"Where else to cut it?" Master Jie Shi asked.
"Continue to cut from the place I drew just now."
Master Fan said in a low voice, his heartbeat quickened and his face flushed.
While everyone was watching, the knife edge continued downward, and one-fifth of the original stone was cut off directly.
At this moment, Fan Jin had given up all hope, and his mood had simply sunk to rock bottom.
Sure enough, it was still scrap. One-fifth of the original stone had been cut off, and there was no trace of green in the middle. Everyone was extremely disappointed. Fan Jin had made a loss today, and the loss was miserable. By the way, he also paid for his reputation. Got in.
"When people get old, they can't do it anymore. If they don't accept old age, they can't do it anymore!"
Fan Jin stared at the roof and sighed suddenly in his heart.
In recent years, his level of stone gambling has gradually declined, and his eyesight has become worse and worse. People in the industry are suspicious of him, so for the sake of his reputation, he rarely participates in stone gambling anymore, but yesterday He made a small fortune and was thinking of gambling again, but now he lost money and lost his reputation.
After all, this is Area B, and there are millions of rough stones. Even if they are cut into six pieces, they are all scraps. This is simply not up to the average level.
Not to mention the level of a master.
Several people around him all retreated, staring at Fan Jin in groups of twos and threes, showing a trace of disdain.
Fan Jin was like a defeated rooster, dejected and ready to leave.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Master Fan, do you still want that scrap?"
The person who spoke was none other than Lin Tian. He took Xiao Feiyan and Wang Yuan to the third floor. Who would have thought that when they reached the second floor, they inadvertently saw Master Fan gambling on stones, and Lin Tian, It was the piece of scrap that Master Fan was interested in.
Fan Jin frowned and discovered that the piece of scrap Lin Tian was talking about was exactly the one-fifth piece that was cut open.
He was in a very low mood and had no time to talk nonsense to Lin Tian. He spoke directly and said feebly, "That's a piece of scrap. It's worthless. If you want it, just take it!"
After hearing this, Lin Tian was very happy, and then ran towards the piece of "waste".
