Chapter 385 The apprentice of the Stone God
Transfer from Kunming and arrive at Tengchong after 4:00 p.m. Among the seven people, except for Yang Shuntang, it is the first time for everyone to come to Yunnan. It is close to the border between China and Myanmar. It is an ethnic minority area and a famous emerald raw stone distribution center. Originally, in my impression, this should be a very remote and ancient place, which is relatively closed. Maybe there will be stones everywhere like a mine. Unexpectedly, when I got off the plane, I found that it was beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery was picturesque. The climate here is mild, and the four seasons are like spring. Although it is winter, the rolling mountains are still lush, and there are many beautiful and flexible of small bridges and flowing water in this green. Not to mention the jade gathering place, this small city itself is like a piece of jade, quiet and elegant. It is really a treasure, outstanding people everywhere. The aura made the group of people who were used to the hustle and bustle of the metropolis praise, lingering and forgetting to return, as if they were in a paradise.
Xia Ruobing yelled like a country bumpkin into the city and took photos with his mobile phone. Lao Yang had to be patient to introduce to her. This is just Tengchong Airport, which is known as the first city on the extreme edge, and also a famous tourist city. There are not only more than 90 of the most dense volcanoes in China, but also national protected areas. Beihai Wetland also has the famous Tengchong Hot Spring. If you want to go sightseeing, you must not miss the ancient town of Heshun, which is "far mountains, melodious rivers near rivers, and thousands of slopes, surpassing Little Suzhou and Hangzhou".
Tengchong multi-volcanic hot springs, so for tourism enthusiasts, the hot springs here have almost become a signboard. The place where several people live is a villa-style hot spring garden on the outskirts of the city. It is hard to imagine that there is such a awesome hotel in this city with a population of only hundreds of thousands. It is a single villa and a five-star villa. There is a natural hot spring bath in the villa. The environment is absolutely nothing, which is also enough to see. The tourism industry is very prosperous.
After settling down, it is not dark yet. As a tourist city, the prosperity of the night has just sounded the prelude. Of course, Xia Ruobing and Yao Wei can't wait to go shopping, go shopping and taste all kinds of local food. Xiao Tiantian's eyes are thinking about shopping for her baby, and she is anxious to be trampled on her tail. Li Weidong and Yang Shuntang had to obey a few people and waited depressedly for a bunch of beautiful women, big and small, to go to the city.
This is a gathering place for ethnic minorities. There is nothing to see the clothes of pedestrians in the city. Roadside shops, restaurants and so on are full of national atmosphere. From time to time, you can see exquisite costumes with various ethnic characteristics. These are the favorites of girls.
It's easy to visit Yushi Street. Basically, whether it's business or tourism, this street is bound to open your eyes. At this time, it was getting dark, and some stalls had begun to be closed one after another, and some were still soliciting business. As soon as Xiao Tiantian saw the stone, she was very excited and plunged in.
Li Weidong was also paying attention to observing which stone the little guy would focus on, but Yang Shuntang smiled and whispered, "Mr. Li, now we are looking at it for nothing. It's already this point. Although there are still a lot of people on this street, there are neither real players nor real sellers, and those who are still doing business are probably fools.
Li Weidong said strangely, "Why do you say that?"
Yang Shuntang said: "Tengchong is the largest jadeite distribution center in China, and there are many tourists. There are many people who like to try their luck. It is inevitable that some people are crooked and take the opportunity to cheat money. Look at this stall, here, this stone opens the window, and the place is green enough, but it is 100% glued to the green space. After cutting it, it is not bullshit. If you really want to gamble stones, you have to come early. Basically, after nine o'clock and ten o'clock, it's difficult to see a good stone again.
Li Weidong couldn't help sweating. The feelings of this copycat are all over the land of the motherland, and the stones can actually be faked. No wonder many gambling stone players would rather find a middleman like He Xingji. If they come here rashly, they will not be stunned, and they will be sold and help others with money.
What Lao Yang said about opening the window is a Chinese saying in the gambling stone, which is to polish a stone off a small piece of skin shell, so that people can see the texture inside, and a little flowers and wipe the ground. Almost all of them have similar meanings, but the difference in the size and strength of polishing. Opening the window is not easy to do. For example, a stone, which looks good and is worth 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Maybe if you wipe out a piece of green, it will be called a rise, and it may become three or five million yuan. If you wipe out a piece of white, and then spread a lime field and a dog shit field, not to mention three or fifty thousand yuan, three or five hundred may not be able to do it. If you can sell it, you can only repair the bridge and repair the road to fill the pit.
He casually picked up the stone that Lao Yang pointed his head to him and weighed it. It was only about 30 catties. A small piece of skin shell was polished off the side, and there was such a small ball of green light in it. If Lao Yang hadn't pointed it out in advance, I really didn't have thought that the green was sticky, and I had to make people admire these traitors. Business is really not an ordinary way to make money.
The seller looked at Li Weidong picking up the stone, quickly came over with a smile on his face and said, "Boss, do you like it? You can see the goods by your eyes. This stone is yellow sand skin, the water is good, the green, and the serious Longtang stone. How's it going? Let's calculate the price together?"
Li Weidong did not expose him, but smiled and put the stone back. The seller saw that he turned around and wanted to leave, and his face immediately sank. He dusted the stone with his sleeve and said, "Damn it, don't you look at it if you don't buy it, poor man, can you pay for it if you break it!"
Li Weidong didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he thought he didn't hear it. Next to him, Xia Ruobing, Shen Lin and Yao Wei chose a jade pendant for the stall owner. This girl belongs to that kind of typical little sister. She wants to cause something to do anything, let alone someone dares to find awkwardness in front of her and rushes her to get angry. Li Weidong quickly grabbed her and said, "This is not Zhonghai. Please calm down and don't cause trouble, or I'll send you on the plane now!"
Xia Ruobing glanced at him angrily and said, "Damn it, don't I want to vent my anger for you? Heartless, heartless!"
Yang Shuntang didn't know the details of Li Weidong at all. He only guessed that he was a prince, and he was in a hurry with two pieces of money in his pocket. At this time, looking at his calm appearance, I felt a little surprised, but he still said with great praise, "Mr. Li is good at cultivation and good measurement! This is not Zhonghai. Anyone who can get along the Jade Street is basically not a good stubble. For this kind of person, we still stay away from it. Just make our wealth, but we can't be angry for a while.
Shen Lin and Yao Wei next to him couldn't help laughing and said that this guy was well cultivated? Then you really didn't see him lose his temper. If you really annoy him, I'm afraid you don't want to do the whole street business, no matter whether you are good at it or not.
There, Lin Yumeng accompanied Xiao Tiantian and hurried around and walked back, and got nothing. Xiao Tiantian puffed her mouth and said, "Hey, Lao Yangtou, come here! Look at what kind of shabby place you brought me here. Why is there nothing good? Did you lie to me on purpose?"
Lao Yangtou was very respectful to the little master and quickly reinterpreted what he had just said to Li Weidong. It seems that tonight is destined to return without success, so everyone just strolled around and went back home. When I went out from the other end of Jade Street, I encountered an accident. When two guys with yellow hair passed by everyone, they intentionally or unintentionally wiped Shen Lin's shoulder. Although there were a lot of people in Yushi Street, the road was not crowded. Shen Lin frowned unconsciously, but she put up with the thought that she had just come here and didn't do the business.
On the contrary, the two blind guys saw that Shen Lin was silent and laughed behind her, and one of them whistled loudly. Li Weidong cursed in a low voice: "What doesn't have eyes, TMD can't find it!" Looking back and wanting to repair it, Shen Lin quickly stopped and said, "It's important. Does this kind of scoundrel care about him?"
Lao Yangtou is quite familiar with this place. He doesn't know how many times he has been here since he came into contact with gambling stones when he was young. He knows the local customs and special snacks. With this professional tour guide, when everyone returns to the hot spring hotel, they already have a round belly. They eat and drink enough to soak in the hot spring. They only feel relaxed together, which is indescribably comfortable.
After a night's rest, it was just dawn at 5:00 a.m. the next morning. Lao Yang woke everyone up, simply washed up, and went straight to the jade street. When I went to the place, it was really different from last night. Although it seemed that the people on the street were not so lively, all the stalls were piled up with fancy stones, big and small, just like a dragon gate array. These stones are black, yellow, gray and white, and different colors also represent different places of origin.
Before waiting to enter, Lao Yang began to introduce the rules to everyone. The gambling stone industry is relatively special. Although it looks like selling cabbage in the market, it is not the case. Don't touch it with your hands to prevent the skin from wiping off. If you fall in a stone at the same time as other players, then whoever touches it first will be the one, and it is easy not to ask the price. Generally speaking, you have to buy it, and you can't bargain. This is a conventional rule in the industry. Xiaotiantian was already impatient at this time. Seeing that he was nagging endlessly, she turned her head and ran away. Lao Yang shouted anxiously, "Master, wait, master, wait!" However, Xiao Tiantian's figure is small and flexible, and she has already drilled into the market like a loach.
Because it is a famous jade distribution center, Tengchong attracts gambling stone players from all over the country. There are many customers who welcome every day, either watching the flowers, or stopping to look around, or talking about something in groups. And these real sellers are by no means as enthusiastic as ordinary businessmen. On the contrary, they look very cold. They drink tea, chat and read newspapers, and ignore customers. On the contrary, Lao Yang is familiar with this. From time to time, the stall owner said, "Lao Yang is here. There are new goods recently. Do you want to look at each other?" Most of them are such cliché. Lao Yangtou explained to Li Weidong and Xiao Tiantian, "Look at the stones placed outside, they are generally covered, and the real good sellers are easily reluctant to take them out. Let's take a rough look first. If we can't pick out the good things, let's go to the stall to see the goods.
Xiao Tiantian, a unique attribute of the dragon clan, does not take too long to judge a stone at all. As long as you scan it at a glance, it will naturally be clear whether it is valuable or not. So although the market is not small, it doesn't take much time to turn around. On the contrary, there are at least thousands of stones placed in the market, but there is nothing that can make Xiao Tiantian eye. Only two small stones have been picked out, both of which have not been wiped. And judging from the hesitant look of the little guy, these two stones should not have too much oil to fish.
Li Weidong is not in a hurry. Since the gambling stone is said by Lao Yang, it is not worth it. Of course, it will not be jade everywhere. It is normal that you can't touch a piece of good goods in these thousands of raw stones. You should know that after all, the huge profit of the gambling stone is there. If you are lucky enough to meet one piece, it will be millions or even hundreds of millions. If you casually cut a piece of jade, then this thing is really as worthless as potatoes and cabbage.
Little Tiantian is obviously a little unsed at this time. For this little money fan, if she can't find the baby, it's even more uncomfortable than wiping her neck. Lao Yangtou took everyone to a familiar stall first. The stall owner was a short and fat middle-aged man. He was nothing special, but as soon as he cracked his mouth, he showed a big yellow golden tooth. After saying hello to Lao Yang, Da Jinya took everyone to the stall. It was a low warehouse with a row of spotlights hanging on its head, and there were a lot of stones piled up on the wooden shelves of the wall on the ground. Da Jinya uses a little standard Mandarin: "Are these strangers? Lao Yang knows the rules. Take your time."
This time, Xiao Tiantian only picked out a black stone, which was not small, but the expression of the little money fan was still not very satisfied. Old Yang's head has been following Xiao Tiantian attentively watching her choose stones. He didn't intervene from beginning to end. The big golden teeth seemed a little strange about this and said, "Lao Yang, what's the way are you playing?"
Lao Yangtou didn't answer, but he picked up his pipe and lit it. He clicked and said, "Lao Jin, you are not kind. I know you are the biggest seller of Tengchong Mogangyu. Isn't there just a few stones in total? I know you have a lot of relationships in this industry, but our friendship is not short, right? Shouldn't you take me to your warehouse to open your eyes?
Da Jinya said with a smile, "It's all here. I'm just a passing god of wealth. There is no warehouse. Even if there is, I won't hide it from Lao Yang!" However, Lao Yangtou still didn't say a word, squinting his eyes and glinting at his fat face. After about a minute or two, the big golden tooth patted his thigh and said, "Forget it! Since it's an old friendship, I can't be petted. Let's go to the warehouse!" As he said that, he called a clerk to look at the stall. He drove a Nissan bread and took everyone out of the jade street.
It drove all the way to the nearby suburbs and stopped in front of a two-story building. Da Jinya said, "My eldest brother is in there. Wait a moment and I'll say hello first." He said that he got out of the car and went in. Xia Ruobing couldn't help but be angry and said, "Damn, it's just a stone seller. What's so great? It's like selling drugs. It's not that we don't give him money. We don't sell it to anyone. Why do we pick on customers?
Lao Yang said with a smile, "I can't help it. This has always been this rule. After all, gambling is too risky for ordinary people to afford it. To be honest, if it weren't for my master now, Lao Jin would not come if he invited me to see me. The better the stone, the higher the price and the greater the risk. The gambling stone is like this. If you can only bet on one million, the seller will never show you the stone of 1 million yuan.
After a while, Lao Jin opened the door of the warehouse and waved to everyone. Everyone got out of the car and walked into the warehouse, but it was cheerful in front of them. A spacious warehouse was lit with countless fluorescent lights, which were as bright as the day. The stones here were not too many, but they were placed on the ground one by one, which looked orderly.
At this time, several people were talking about something in front of a stone. One of them was short and fat and wore a floral shirt, which looked like a big brother with big golden teeth, while the other was of medium height, dressed in casual clothes, and looked extraordinary. He didn't even look at Li Weidong and his party, but only lowered his head slightly. Measure the stone in front of you. The remaining two young people followed the man with a very respectful expression. Li Weidong noticed that there were also two young people standing at the door, shirts and jeans. The dress should be the same as the temperamental man.
Before Lao Jin could speak, Xiao Tiantian suddenly let out a low scream and took three steps and two steps to rush to the place where several people stood. Lao Jin was stunned and quickly said, "Hey, little girl, don't run around!" Xiao Tiantian turned a deaf ear. As soon as she looked at her, Li Weidong and others had guessed: There are good things!
But looking at the direction she was running, Li Weidong's heart suddenly sank: It's over! The stone that the little girl aimed at was exactly the one that the temperamental man was always measuring, and the guy was squatting down at this moment and stretching out his hand to the stone! According to the rules in the gambling stone circle that Yang Shuntang said before, if everyone like a stone at the same time, then whoever touches it first will be the one. Unfortunately, although Xiao Tiantian's speed is fast, it is more than ten meters away. It's too late to touch the stone first!
Shit, it's so easy to get a baby. Is it like this?!
At this moment, the temperamental man also heard the shout of big golden teeth. He subconsciously raised his head and looked up for a moment, and inevitably just met Xiao Tiantian's eyes. The temperamental man's movements froze in an instant, and then he suddenly shook his buttocks and sat on the ground. His outstretched hand also shrank back, covering his forehead and looked like he would faint at any time.
Purification! The special skills brought by Xiao Tiantian from the game world!
Li Weidong was overjoyed. He saw that the little rich man's petite body was as fast as a slip of smoke. In this impefferable moment, he grabbed the stone and hugged it in front of him and shouted, "I want this piece!"
This change was so fast that the people present did not react for a moment. It was the temperamental man who came to his senses first. Two fierce lights suddenly shot out of his eyes. He stared at Xiao Tiantian and said word by word, "Where did you get the little boy? Are you tired of living?"
The two young people behind him quickly helped him up, and then surrounded Xiao Tiantian one left and one right. The two young people at the door closed the big iron gate with a bang and slowly came to Li Weidong. Lao Yang's face was obviously pale. He pulled Li Weidong's sleeve and whispered, "Oh no! I know this person, named Luo Jun, who is very powerful in Kunming! ...Moreover, his master is the stone god Zou Changlong!"
