Chapter 105 A knife is still a stone
So Song Tao took a few walks around the East City and finally focused his attention on a gambling stone shop with a larger store.
There are two couplets posted at the door of the store. The first couplet is the original stone when the fate is in the future. I like to meet the rare jade and I will cherish the jade.
Song Tao smiled: "Wow, it's quite literary."
When you enter the store, it is a more ancient style. Some more expensive raw stones are placed on rosewood shelves, while some are cheaper and regular on ordinary tables.
The cheapest gambling stone here is only a few hundred yuan, but the most expensive one is million yuan. Of course, Song Tao knew that there would definitely be more expensive in such stores, but that kind would not be displayed, but would be watched separately from the buyer.
The owner is an old man with glasses. He is lying on the table and practicing drawing some jade carving patterns. It seems that in addition to selling gambling stones, he should also be a jade carving.
The shop owner saw someone coming in and raised his head a little. When he was about to put down the pencil and draft in his hand to greet him, he found that the visitor was just a student-like person, so hesitated for a moment and sat back.
Song Tao is only twenty-two years old. In the eyes of these people in their fifties and sixties, they are still childish children. And judging from their outfits, they are not the kind of rich second-generation expert, so the owner doesn't care.
He said lightly: "Whoever you like tell me."
Song Tao did not care about the owner's neglect. He originally wanted to choose slowly by himself, but it would be more convenient if the owner did not follow him.
Song Tao first looked at the gambling stones priced at hundreds of thousands of yuan, but found that the stone skin perspective glasses could not ignore the thick stone shells.
"As a matter of fact, glasses that only have first-level are not easy to use."
So Song Tao walked to a cheaper area. Some of the 50,000 to 100,000 areas could be seen through by Song Tao. Some of them were only inferior materials the size of a palm. Whoever bought them would wait to cry.
"This glasses are too useless. There are a bunch of materials that cannot be seen through from 50,000 to 100,000. What's the use of this thing?" Song Tao complained.
In the end, he could only turn his attention to the area below 50,000, and didn’t know what the principle of this glasses were, what could be seen and what could not be seen. However, 30% of them could be seen clearly after less than 50,000.
Song Tao then glanced at the hundreds or thousands of stones. The stones less than ten thousand yuan were completely invisible when the stone skin penetrated its glasses.
Song Tao took a deep breath and began to pick up all the stones that could see the material inside. Now he has 200,000 yuan in savings, so it is still okay to buy a stone.
When choosing a material, it is not only important to see the color of the water, but also whether there is crack or not. Compared with each dimension, Song Tao's choice of sleepiness occurs.
In the end, Song Tao turned his eyes to a stone with extremely thick shells but very small material inside.
The material inside this stone is high in ice, with a tiny cotton inside, and another crack in the middle. What attracts Song Tao the most is its color: imperial green, the top color among jade, no doubt about it.
Although this piece of material is small, it is estimated that it can only produce two jade brands, but its quality is extremely high. The price of gambling stone is 56,000 yuan. According to Song Tao's estimate, the value of the material in this stone is at least between 180,000 and 200,000 yuan.
"This time I made a lot of money." Song Tao was secretly happy.
After working at Huachangdi University for so long, Song Tao has been concentrating on his work and devoted himself to academic research. To be honest, he has not enjoyed any interesting life. It is definitely a good thing to be able to have a little more money.
"Master." Song Tao tried his best to calm down his emotions and greeted the shop owner and said, "I want to put this down."
The owner then looked up at the gambling stone that Song Tao pointed to, couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you sure?" He seemed to think that Song Tao was joking with him again.
After all, Song Tao looks thin and tender, and he doesn't look like a person who specializes in this industry.
Song Tao nodded affirmatively.
The owner then walked over and reminded: "Young man, you are willing to bet on stones. You have to be mentally prepared. No matter what you open, you can't get it back. There are surveillance in our store, so you can't deny it."
Song Tao smiled helplessly. When did he think of such an unreasonable person?
So he said with certainty: "Don't worry, I still know the importance of gambling stones. What I want is a gambling nature. Some people will naturally lose if they win."
The shop owner nodded and pulled out a QR code from his pocket: "If there is no problem, please pay."
Song Tao wanted to pick up the stone immediately and leave, and immediately went to the material store to open it, so he didn't even bother to mention the price, so he opened Fuqianbao quickly and transferred the corresponding amount directly.
Before taking away the stone, the shop owner instructed: "Give you an exception. You can ask me to refund before you open the materials. If you lose the bet, don't come to my store to make trouble. I have been here for so many years, but not everyone dares to make trouble."
His store has been here for so many years, and there are some tricks in the police and the Sihui. No one who comes to cause trouble has any good results. However, based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, the owner specially added.
"Don't worry." Song Tao ran out like flying with the stone in his arms.
The owner looked at his back as he walked away and couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't know which child is. He is so light or heavy, and he can't even tell a price. If you have money at home, you can't squander it like this, hey!"
Obviously, he regarded Song Tao as a child of a rich family and bought a gambling stone to play when he had nothing to do. He had never seen such a person in the past few years, and the money he spent wasted without exception.
After leaving, Song Tao went straight to the nearest stone cutting shop, and couldn't wait to cut the material open.
The boss in the stone cutting was a middle-aged man wearing a vest and holding a cigarette in his mouth. After taking the stone, he looked at Song Tao and asked casually: "Where did you buy it?"
Song Tao replied: "The largest store in the east of the city."
"How much is it?"
"Fifty-six."
"I'll go." The boss sighed. It was not because of how expensive this piece of material was, but because Song Tao didn't look like an expert. He dared to buy more than 50,000 yuan when he came up. It can only be said that he was honorable to be brave.
The boss looked at the stone for a while and frowned slightly. Judging from his surprise, there might be nothing in the gambling stone, but it was very taboo to say such things before the material was opened, so the boss didn't ask too much and directly offered the price.
"This kind of material will take you fifty with one knife."
Song Tao urged, "Okay, let's start."
The boss decided to open a small window at the edge of the stone now, so the sound of the water cutting machine buzzed, and a piece of stone was cut off in a short while.
The boss looked at it, shook his head and said, "It will be a stone if you cut it down."
