Chapter Thirty: The Beauty Gambles on Stones

  After visiting the antique market, Han Qin glanced at his watch and saw that it was still early. He then said to Song Wenfei: "Wenfei, you should go check out the jade stone gambling market on Jewelry Street. Although the antique market has a great atmosphere, there's nowhere that really gets your blood pumping."

  As soon as Han Qin mentioned gambling on stones, Song Wenfei immediately became interested. She had also seen such a plot in TV dramas, where one crazy person buys and another crazy person sells, and there is another crazy person waiting, which is very exciting! Song Wenfei keenly felt that if she could write an article about this aspect, it would definitely have selling points!

  Song Wenfei asked excitedly: "We also have gambling rocks in Dongfang City!"

  Han Qin smiled and said, "Yes, there are many people wandering around every day, hoping to get rich overnight. At the entrance of the market, there is a big sign that reads: One knife heaven, one knife hell, extremely stimulating, those with heart problems beware!"

  "Stop joking around, let's go quickly!"

  For this jade market, Han Qin went there on the second day of picking up leaks in the antique market. Since there is this super work assistant system, he is ready to make a big deal there and get some extra money! From then on, having a car and a house, being a small rich man, isn't that a godly life?!

  The result was that when they arrived at the jade market, the scene was very disappointing to Han Qin. The scale here was small, and the storage volume of raw jadeite was even more pitiful, all of which were some small scraps. Han Qin had spent a lot of effort to find a piece of material with a little green inside in a pile of messy stones, and after opening it up, there was a piece of water-type jade as big as a soybean, which sold for 3,000 yuan. According to Hu Mei's words, this little thing wasn't even enough to waste the system's energy!

  Han Qin looked up the information and found that most of the world's jadeite comes from Myanmar, but in recent years, the Burmese government has prohibited the export of rough stones. All old pit rough stone auctions, also known as blind bidding, are held within Myanmar. The raw materials entering the domestic market are mostly scraps with very little jadeite content, which is also why the Burmese government allows them to be exported.

  Looks like I'll have to go to Myanmar if I want to play marble shooting! I'll prepare for it first, and when the time comes, I'll definitely join in on the fun!

  Jewelry merchants import these rough stones, mainly to add a mysterious atmosphere to their stores and allow inland people to experience the thrill of jade gambling. It's like buying lottery tickets - everyone knows the probability of winning is extremely low, but many people still believe they can win and even become obsessed with it. Jade gambling is similar; many people know that these stones, which cost only a few hundred yuan to play with, are unlikely to contain any valuable jade. But what if...? Maybe one will get rich overnight! With this psychological support, the jade gambling market remains popular.

  Han Qin took Song Wenfei to the market with a speculative mindset, wondering if there was new material here and maybe they could make a small profit!

  Entering the market, Han Qin directly took Song Wanfei to a largest jewelry store. Han Qin had been here twice and was naturally familiar with it, knowing that there were some good things in this store.

  It's Sunday, and there are still quite a few people coming to gamble on stones. Many of them bring their wives and children along. These people are also quite calculating, spending just a few hundred yuan can make the whole family happy, which is much better than sitting at home daydreaming about building a long city wall! Who knows, they might even get lucky and win some small fortune!

  Jewelry store on the south wall, a row of wooden shelves made of logs, with colorful stones on top, the big ones weigh over 100 pounds, and the small ones are just as big as fists! Customers were excitedly selecting from the shelves.

  Han Qin pointed to the wooden frame and said to Song Wenfei, "The stones on top are jade materials. Before they are opened, no one knows if there is jade inside or how much jade there is. It's all based on experience and guessing, just like gambling, so it's called gambling stone!"

  Song Wenfei looked at these rough stones and asked in surprise, "Are those beautiful jade really dug out from here?"

  Han Qin nodded. Taking advantage of the time when he and Song Wenfei were looking down at these woolen goods, Han Qin quietly activated the auxiliary system and scanned them one by one on the wooden frame. Among these woolen goods, about 30% contained green jade, but judging from the price tag, even if they could extract jadeite from it, it would be almost the same as buying jewelry directly, with no profit at all.

  Just as I was looking, the side suddenly became lively. Someone had chosen a piece of jade and was about to cut it open. This is the most exciting moment in jade gambling - whether it's a success or a failure, all depends on that one cut!

  The couple who gambled on the stone were a young pair of companions, seemingly white-collar workers in a company. The couple was very romantic, with the girl saying that if they could extract jade from this wool, she would accept her boyfriend's proposal on the spot and make this piece of jade into an engagement ring.

  They chose a piece of wool weighing over 50 kilograms, which cost less than 3,000 yuan. Han Qin scanned it quietly, and perhaps because Tian Zhu had a lover, there was indeed a small piece of jadeite inside this piece of wool. Although the volume is very small, it can make a ring face.

  The old man with a kind face and good intentions moved the wool to the de-stoning machine, then clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "Please bless this loving couple!"

  After the prayer, the old man carefully started the stone-breaking machine. As the machine roared, the couple also held hands tightly, waiting for the next moment, not knowing whether it was excitement or disappointment!

  Half a minute later, the dehairing machine came to an abrupt halt! The old man moved the machine away and rinsed the fur with clear water. A drop of bright green appeared before his eyes!

  The old man smiled and said: "Congratulations, you're going green!"

  Upon hearing this good news, the girl excitedly kissed her boyfriend on the face!

  Maybe they were infected, and the guests who were hesitant before are now selecting wool products, also expecting good luck!

  Seeing others were excited, Song Wenfei was also infected. She said excitedly: "Let's buy one and try it out, maybe we can find jade too?"

  Han Qin couldn't help but laugh when he heard Song Wenfei say that. This quiet and elegant girl had a lot of hobbies, she used to like stock trading, who knows, maybe next time she'll fall in love with gemstone gambling!

  Song Wenfei saw Han Qin laughing at her, and said seriously: "What are you laughing at? What I'm saying is true. Only by participating in it yourself can you write that kind of feeling. Come on, let's go together to see if we can gamble for a rise!"

  Han Qin stopped laughing, this is not simple, I casually pointed to a piece inside and there will be some green, absolutely not whiteboard. Since Song Wenfei's interest was so high, Han Qin still wanted to give him a surprise, so he carefully scanned these fabrics, wanting to compare which stone had the highest cost-effectiveness!

  When Han Qin walked to the middle of the wooden frame, he suddenly felt a flash of dark green in front of him! Han Qin took a closer look and discovered the mystery. In the middle of the wooden frame was placed a large piece of woolen material, and behind it was padded with a small piece of material to keep it stable. The hint of green came from this small piece of material!

  Without much effort, Han Qin used a small stone next to him to exchange the small material. This piece of wool was more than ten kilograms in weight and was long and strip-shaped. Bringing it closer for a scan, Han Qin couldn't help but be shocked!

  In the center of the left side of this piece of wool, there was actually a heart-shaped jade, as big as half an egg yolk!

  Jian Qin showed interest in this small stone, Song Wenfei smiled and said: "This little one. The money I brought is enough!"

  Han Qin said mysteriously: "As people say, it's not that the mountain is high, but there are immortals, then it's spiritual. This stone isn't about being big, as long as it has greenery, it's fine."

  As he spoke, Han Qin beckoned to the old man who was relieving himself: "Master, we'll take this one."

  The old man asked Han Qin to go to the counter to weigh and pay for it, after completing the formalities, he was ready to remove the stone for him.

  He took the piece of fabric, looked at it and thought that from the color of the python belt and leather, this small piece of fabric was not worth much money for young people to spend. However, the old man was very professional, since the customer had spent money, he didn't differentiate between thick or thin, and served them very attentively!

  The old man asked: "Young man, how are you going to solve this puzzle?"

  Han Qin didn't want to be too surprised, so he smiled and said: "Master Fu, just cut it in the middle and see if there's any green inside." The old man followed his words, started the stone cutter, and made a cut. The cutting surface was a piece of grayish white, truly a whiteboard!

  It's a whiteboard. Song Wenfei was afraid that Han Qin would be disappointed, so she comforted him: "Han Qin, how can such a small stone have jade? Let's choose a bigger one."

  Han Qin rushed to Song Wenfei and shook his head, then said to the old man: "Master, please cut these two pieces again. If we still don't see any green, we'll give up."

  The old man didn't think twice and picked up half of it. Han Qin took a look, this half was exactly the side with the jadeite. The old man started the stone cutting machine and cut it at a place three inches to the left!

  Stop the machine, the old man carelessly took a look at the cut and was stunned on the spot! The cut was emerald green, with a natural heart-shaped jade faintly visible.

  The old man picked up the piece of jade and exclaimed with great surprise: "Young people, congratulations to you! I've spent most of my life cutting stones, but I've never seen a natural heart-shaped jade like this! Just considering this piece of jade alone, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars. But for you young couple, this natural heart shape is priceless! What great luck, what great luck indeed! This truly fulfills the old saying: 'A match made in heaven, a perfect pair!'

  Song Wenfei took over the wool and took a look, suddenly feeling her heart "thumping" with excitement, how could it be so coincidental, it was actually a piece of heart-shaped jade!
