Chapter 597 What are you betting on me?
In order to ensure the quality of customer service, the auctioneer did not carry out stone cutting during the auction.
Instead, after the customer takes a picture of the stone, it is up to them to decide whether to have the stone cut on site or take it home and cut it themselves.
However, most people will still choose to open the stone on the spot, just like buying a lottery ticket to draw the prize on the spot.
"Come on, let's cut the stones together and take a look." Boss Zhou seemed very anxious because he bought six rough stones in one go.
As long as he can produce a piece of top-quality jade, he can make back his money.
If they were all mortal products, then he would have suffered a big loss. After all, they were all half-bet stones, and the prices were extremely high.
They all noticed Lin Ran and Zheng Xueming's stones.
Zheng Xueming's stones are not bad, they look smoother, a bit like pebbles.
In their impression, the stones that appear green are all stones of this size.
But Lin Ran's was very ordinary. Not only was it strange in shape, but the surface was also bumpy!
"Brother Lin, is this the stone you like?"
"Yes." Lin Ran smiled, "I thought this stone was very relevant to me, so I bought it."
"Oh, then you are really wasting money." Boss Zhou said.
Lin Ran didn't take him seriously at first, but for some reason, Boss Zhou was a bit arrogant, which made him very unhappy.
"Boss Zhou, do you think my stone will never turn green?"
"It's not that it can't be green, it's just that it's not valuable at all."
Boss Zhou said without mercy: "Don't think that opening a handicraft store is a big deal. I made those gadgets you made more than ten years ago."
In fact, Boss Zhou was unhappy because Lin Ran had robbed him of a lot of business, so he made things difficult for him at every turn.
However, the other party came to help in the name of Chen Cheng.
So it’s not easy to show off one’s face directly, so one can only sneer at him!
"How about we make a bet? Which stone is more valuable, the stone you picked or the stone I picked?" Lin Ran said with a meaningful smile.
"Okay." Anyway, we are here to bet on stones today, so why not bet bigger, "What should we bet on?"
Zheng Xueming wanted to persuade them, but the other two bosses laughed.
"Brother Zheng, please don't spoil the fun. I think it's quite interesting." Boss Li rarely expressed his opinion.
Since both friends said so, Zheng Xueming couldn't object.
Lin Ran said: "Let's just have fun."
He didn't want to break up with Boss Zhou and said, "Whoever's stones are valuable will give them all to him. What do you think?"
Although I don’t think the stone Boss Zhou bought is worth much, it’s enough to teach him a lesson.
"It's a deal." Boss Zhou couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Ran's words, "But I think I should add one more thing. If the stones inside are less than 1000 yuan, what do you think if I personally contribute [-] yuan to make up for it? ?”
It seems that Boss Zhou feels that he has won.
The broken stone Lin Ran picked was worthless no matter how you looked at it.
And what he chose, from the looks of it, should be ice jade!
"Okay." Lin Ran smiled and agreed.
After paying the money, he queued up at the trading desk. Soon a staff member came with a trolley and pushed the rough stones he bought over.
"Sir, this is the rough stone you purchased. Do you want to send it home, or take it to the calcite area to cut it out?"
the staff asked kindly.
"Help me push it to the Jieshi area."
"Yes."
Lin Ran followed the staff and headed to the stone area.
Although the people participating in the exhibition are all well-known people, gamblers all over the world have the same face.
"Up! Up! Up!"
"It's green!"
"Let me go, the stone I bought for tens of thousands is just a piece of rough jade?"
"A knife to hell! Pay me the stone!"
Jieshi District is bustling with activity.
Although it was only after the first round of bidding, there were many people betting on the stone, and they could not wait to unwrap the stone.
At the same time, people who were hanging out in the venue before came to watch the excitement.
The stone dissolving area here is much larger than an ordinary stone gambling shop, with twenty stone dissolving machines and masters at work.
Although there are many people, there are still a few empty tables.
Lin Ran, Boss Zhou and his staff pushed the cart to the free workbench.
The idle stone master didn't hesitate. He rinsed the stone directly, put it on the table, and asked, "Are there any special requirements?"
Lin Ran smiled: "I want to explain it in detail."
If you think there is a lot of jade in it, choose to explain it in detail.
If you think the stone is ordinary, it is faster to choose rough solution.
"You still need to analyze the broken stone in detail? It also costs money to solve the stone." Boss Zhou couldn't help laughing after hearing Lin Ran's words.
"I feel that there should be jade inside the stone." Lin Ran said confidently.
You will soon know who is the discerning person.
Since Boss Zhou came first, he had almost finished the stone removal.
After analyzing it carefully for a while, I only found this piece of low-quality jade, and it was no bigger than a palm.
The onlookers around him, regardless of his identity, started to gloat and cheer at his misfortune.
"It sounds like it's pretty powerful, but I only found a piece of low-quality jadeite. What's the difference between this and a stone?"
"It's worse than pure stone."
"Such a broken piece of stone needs to be explained in detail. You are really rich!"
But Lin Ran had no time to care about him. He was concentrating on looking at his stone.
Master Jie Shi is very serious and meticulous. He scratches the surface gently.
His eyes couldn't help but change.
The stone that was previously solved could not see green even after rubbing it for a long time.
The stone in my hand had just worn off two centimeters of its skin, and the internal luster was revealed.
It's so green that it seems like water is dripping from it!
He couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Young man, you're lucky, you got the green one."
Although he spoke lightly, he attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.
They left Boss Zhou's stone solution platform and gathered around Lin Ran.
When they saw the color under the stone skin, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Because the jadeite in front of me looks very similar...
The glass kind of imperial green!
Before this exhibition, someone had opened the Imperial Green in Ruili.
I originally thought it was just a small probability event, but I didn't expect another one to appear so soon.
However, Master Jie Shi said: "Don't worry, it may not be the imperial green. Do you want to continue to drive it? Or sell it to others now?"
Master Jie Shi saw so many people gathered around him, and many people were willing to pay to buy it.
Lin Ran was not a fool. How could he give up this rough stone to others after finally getting it?
"Keep driving!" Lin Ran said.
What I just said was also heard by Boss Zhou.
The stones in his hand were getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but cast an envious but jealous look at Lin Ran.
"What's so great about it?"
As he said this, he also gathered around, wanting to see what good stuff Lin Ran had come up with!
