Chapter 172: Stone Gambling Conference

This stone gambling conference was jointly organized by several major rough stone suppliers across the country and major jewelers in China Shipping. The scale is quite large, and China Shipping only holds it once a year.
In order to highlight the grandeur of this conference, the organizers set the venue in the Huahai Building in the city center.
The four of Ye Chen arrived at Huahai Building by car, and saw that the entrance of the building was crowded with countless people pouring into Huahai Building.
Ye Chen got out of the car and the four of them had just walked to the door when a young man in luxurious clothes hurried over. It was Wang Ziyu.
"Brother Chen, how did you come, the conference has already begun."
Wang Ziyu walked over and said complainingly.
"There was a traffic jam on the road, and I finally drove over."
Because of the gambling conference, the traffic around Huahai Building became extremely crowded, and Ye Chen also spent a lot of effort to reach Huahai Building.
Wang Ziyu only noticed Su Xiyue next to Ye Chen, and said with enthusiasm: "Sister-in-law, hello, I am Brother Chen's brother, Wang Ziyu, just call me Ziyu."
"Hello there."
Su Xiyue nodded, and said softly with a polite face.
"This is Xiyue's sister, Su Xiaozhu, and this is her classmate, Qin Shiyao."
Ye Chen introduced Wang Ziyu again.
When the two girls saw an outsider, they obviously became ladies. After greeted each other, the five of them entered the Huahai Building.
"There are so many people here at this stone gambling conference."
Ye Chen looked at the people in the exhibition hall on the first floor and said with a sigh.
"Of course, you should know that such a grand event is only held once a year, and the quality of the rough stone this time is also the best in recent times, which naturally attracted many people to hit the big luck.
Wang Ziyu smiled and said: "Betting on rocks is much more exciting than stocks and lottery tickets. As the saying goes, one knife is poor, one rich, and one knife wears linen. With good luck, this knife will be enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime. Of course, There are countless bankruptcies in a day."
"I didn't expect stone betting to be so exciting."
Although Su Xiaozhu had heard of gambling on rocks, it was the first time he came to the scene and said with excitement.
"The entire venue is divided into four trading zones: zone a, zone b, zone c, and zone d. The rough stone in zone a is the most expensive, and the rough stone in zone d is the cheapest. Generally, you can buy hundreds of thousands of them. Of course, the cheaper The quality of the jade from the rough stone is also lower. This exhibition hall is zone d, so there are the most people here, and ordinary people can come here to try it out, so the people in zone d are also the most."
Wang Ziyu explained: "We are going to area a this time. The seeds in area a are all from old mining areas in Myanmar. They are all high-quality rough stones, and it is easier to produce high-quality jadeite."
While talking, Wang Ziyu led Ye Chen to the fourth floor, the exhibition hall in area a.
This exhibition hall is much more luxurious than zone d, and the floor of the exhibition hall is covered with brand new red carpets.
The people in the exhibition hall of area a are much less than those in area d, but all the guests in the exhibition hall are gorgeously dressed, and at first glance they are rich and powerful people from the upper class.
Many people are holding flashlights and carefully watching around the gambling stones.
Ye Chen glanced roughly, and the whole exhibition area was divided into three areas.
The first area is the boutique area.
The rough stones in it are all top-quality rough stones that sell well, but they are all quite expensive, basically hundreds of thousands of millions.
The second area is the general area, where the original price is slightly cheaper, you can choose one for tens of thousands of dollars.
The third area is the stone cutting area.
Most customers will cut the rough stone immediately after buying it to see if there is any jade in it.
Moreover, the staff in the stone cutting area are all experienced masters, who can ensure the safety of stone cutting, and the jade will not be damaged.
"Brother Ziyu, do you know much about betting on rocks?"
Su Xiaozhu asked curiously.
"Xiao Zhu, you can be regarded as asking the right person. Although I am not a master stone gambler, since my family is also in the jade business, I still know a little bit about stone gamblers."
With a smug smile on Wang Ziyu's face, it is rare that he could show off his knowledge, so naturally he spared no effort to say it all.
"Look at the stone gambling in this exhibition hall, there are two methods: full gambling and half gambling. Full gambling is a complete rough stone. No one has ever cut it. No one knows whether there is jade in it. You can only rely on the pattern of the rough stone. Judging whether there is jade in it with the appearance. However, no one can be sure of this kind of full betting, even experienced experts will sometimes look at it, so the risk of full betting is quite large, and the price of rough is also It's slightly lower."
"Half a bet is that a piece of rough stone has been cut with a knife, revealing a little bit of emerald green, commonly known as the skylight is opened, but no one can guarantee how big jade is inside, but the half bet rough stone must at least contain jade. , So semi-gambling rough stones are generally more expensive."
"After cutting out the jade, naturally it depends on the quality of the jade. Among the jade, of course, the green is the most important. Among them, the emperor green is the respect, followed by the emerald. In addition to the color, the second is the transparency, which is called "water head" in the jargon. "The higher the transparency, the better the quality. For example, jadeite like ice or glass is the best jade, which is of great value."
Although Ye Chen and Su Xiyue knew about gambling, they still didn't understand some related matters about gambling. After Wang Ziyu's introduction, the two people understood gambling.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to the general area and have a look."
Su Xiaozhu was a little moved by what Wang Ziyu said, and suggested with a look of excitement.
Since it is here, it is naturally to be consumed. The rough stone of tens of thousands of dollars is not money at all for Su Xiyue and Ye Chen.
A few people came to the common area, and with Su Xiyue's permission, both girls went to choose their favorite rough stone.
Ye Chen took advantage of this moment and opened the perspective. Sure enough, Ye Chen could see the green jade inside through the thick shell of the original stone.
However, in Ye Chen's sight, the green awn of each jade is rich and some are bleak, which should be the reason why the jade is good or bad.
Ye Chen casually looked around Su Xiaozhu and Qin Shiyao. Most of them were empty, and a small part were some very poor quality jadeites, but there was also a very high-quality jadeite. Ye Chen looked around and his eyes were full. Green light.
Since Ye Chen discovered these high-quality jadeites, there is naturally no reason not to, but now let two girls choose it, maybe this jadeite was chosen by two girls.
At this moment, a young man in a suit walked to Wang Ziyu's side and said a few words in a low voice.
Suddenly, Wang Ziyu's face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of anger.
