Chapter 29 Complete

  After using his ability, Chu Chen's first action was to tighten the wool fabric in his hand, and then with a faint smile, he went to the front desk to pay for the wool fabric.

  At the same time, a young man in his early twenties rushed over, running straight to the piece of black tungsten ore that Chu Chen had just given up on. Seeing that the goods were still there, the young man was overjoyed and directly picked it up, rushing to the front desk. Unexpectedly, he beat Chu Chen to it and bought the goods first.

  Looking at this situation, Chu Chen shook his head and smiled, thinking, is it necessary to be so anxious? If the fabric was really that good, would it still be there waiting for you to buy it?

  After sighing, Chu Chen also stopped paying attention to him. After settling the account, he took the wool fabric and returned to the backyard, preparing to go to the stone-breaking machine to unravel it.

  Maybe this piece of wool has been put away for a long time, when checking out, Chu Chen hesitated for a few minutes and smoothly knocked off 100 yuan, so he is in a great mood now. Plus, when paying, the people around didn't think much of this piece of wool, thinking that if it suddenly surged, they would be left with egg on their faces.

  Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart felt extremely happy, with a hint of building his own happiness on someone else's unhappiness.

  As soon as he entered the backyard, he met Liu Zhiqing who was about to leave. He saw the woolen fabric in Chu Chen's hand and frowned, asking:

  "Is this that piece of moth-eaten wool that's been stored away for a long time? Why did you choose this fabric?"

  Chu Chen didn't answer, instead he handed the fabric to Liu Zhiqing and pointed to the position of the python pattern:

  "Liu Ge, you see here and understand why I chose it."

  Liu Zhiqing took over the wool and didn't see clearly at first. Then he brought it closer to take another look, and exclaimed:

  "One stroke of python! Still a python in the loose flowers border of a wool needle!"

  Actually, many people are not very familiar with the patterns of stones, and they still look for python patterns while looking at python patterns. Identifying python patterns requires careful and patient long-term observation and exploration, and it takes a long time to identify python patterns at a glance.

  A single stroke of python is one of the hardest to observe, especially on this piece of fabric, it's extremely light, and most people wouldn't notice it at all. Of course, if it weren't so hard to find, it wouldn't be left here for a long time without anyone asking about it.

  "Although this way, the possibility of this wool fabric being sold at a high price is very great, aren't you afraid of being ruined by moths?"

  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Liu Ge, take another look at the location of the fly's scabies."

  Liu Zhiqing heard this and immediately observed again, then slapped his thigh and said:

  "Hey, the fly is only on the green tile, it's a bet, and it's likely to be a big rise. Little Chu, your eyes are good and you think quickly."

  Chu Chen waved his hand and said humbly: "This is just my good luck, I happened to see this python and only thought of it afterwards."

  "Alright, alright, Chu, don't be modest. How did you find this inconspicuous place with no eyesight? Let's hurry up, I'm eager to know the result." As soon as the words fell, Liu Zhiqing pulled Chu Chen and ran towards the stone tablet, and those who didn't know thought that the wool was his.

  There were two more people waiting for their turn to decipher the stele, so Chu Chen still had to wait a while, and the young man from earlier had already taken his place and started deciphering.

  The young man who had just started did not choose to cut the stone, but to rub it. Rubbing the stone is also a common rule in the gambling stone industry, which is to use tools to wipe away a layer of outer skin in places where green is easy to appear, so that people can observe it more conveniently. This method has one advantage over cutting stones, which is safety.

  After all, if you accidentally cut it badly like Chu Chen did yesterday with the brick material, the loss would be great. So why didn't he choose to grind the stone yesterday? It's because after all, it was just a brick material, and being careful when cutting is still understandable. If he had chosen to grind the stone, that would have been too exaggerated, as if you knew there was jade inside beforehand.

  "It's sprouting!"

  Just a moment later, the young man let out a loud whoop and had an ecstatic look on his face. The people around him also rushed over when they heard the shout.

  To say that this young man was quite lucky, the place he chose was just where the nap of the fabric was sleeping, and after wiping away a bit of the surface fluff, it came out green. The color was pretty good, but when shining a flashlight on it to look at the pile, it seemed a bit short, which is also a common characteristic of mohair fabrics.

  "Sir, I'll give you 800,000. How about this fur coat for me?" A voice immediately came from the crowd of onlookers.

  Chu Chen turned his head and took a look, and it was indeed an acquaintance, the old man who had traded with Liu Zhiqing yesterday, the boss of "Qianji Jewelry Store", Qian Yifeng.

  "This boss is really strange, every time there's a price increase, I always run into him."

  Liu Zhiqing smiled faintly and said, "For those who do jade business, the raw material is a big problem. Low to mid-range ones are easy to find, but high-end ones are harder to come by. Boss Qian's Qianji Jewelry has some reputation in Beijing, so they have to keep an eye on the market and try not to miss any high-end or mid-range materials."

  Chu Chen nodded after listening, and sighed in his heart. It's not easy for anyone to be successful, just like these big bosses who appear to be glorious on the surface, but who can tell how much hard work they have put in to achieve their current status?

  At this time, Qian Yifeng also squeezed out of the crowd and saw Liu Zhiqing on one side. He warmly greeted him and then waited for the young man's response.

  The price of this wool is 600,000 yuan. Chu Chen thought that the young man looked like he was in a hurry and probably wouldn't even haggle over the price. He could make a profit of 200,000 yuan in just a few minutes, which wasn't bad at all. However, looking at the young man's hesitant expression, he seemed unwilling to give up. Chu Chen also knew Rong Yiyou, so he said to him:

  "Sorry, Boss Qian, I choose to continue wiping."

  A piece of jade wool fabric, first choose to rub the stone. If the result of rubbing is still okay, then the owner of the wool can choose to continue rubbing or sell it immediately. On the contrary, they can only continue to rub or directly choose to cut the stone.

  This time, the young man chose to place the whetstone on the other side. Chu Chen looked at it and his mouth slightly curved upwards. Liu Zhiqing saw this and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this black tungsten steel?"

  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said faintly, "I've seen this fabric before. Although it looks okay, there are some minor issues. I couldn't explain it well either. Liu Ge, you'll understand once you take a closer look."

  The machine continued to rotate, and the sand skin on the wool was slowly peeled off. At first, it was like before, and the young man's face was also full of smiles, with a hint of pride. But reality is changing in an instant, and soon his smile froze.

  "It's ringworm!" The crowd erupted into a commotion.

  At this time, a black mole appeared on the green wiped out by the wool fabric, like the originally beautiful face, but with an ugly scar, very unsightly. Correspondingly, such jadeite must be of straight-line declining value. If it is still so inside, then it's completely finished.

  Chu Chen saw Liu Zhiqing looking at him with some astonishment, so he explained in a low voice: "I was quite optimistic about this piece of black tungsten sand before, but later I found that there were straight moles hidden among those sleeping moles. Moreover, all four sides had them, except for the side that had just been wiped clean. If he could have made a move earlier, he might have still made some money, but now..."

  After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Zhiqing nodded in understanding, but didn't say much, only patted his shoulder in praise.

  The young man finished checking the wool and suddenly lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, he raised his head and smiled at Qian Yifu, saying:

  "Boss Qian, will you still buy this wool fabric? I'll sell it for 600,000 yuan."

  Qian Yiyu looked at the young man's expectant eyes, but in his heart he was extremely speechless. He thought to himself, "Am I really that gullible?" However, as a businessman who valued harmony and wealth, he still responded in a friendly manner:

  "I'm afraid this fabric no longer meets our company's purchasing requirements, sir."

  Qian Yiyu's response was undoubtedly a blow to the young man, who looked around in despair, but now this kind of behavior would definitely not be taken over by anyone else.

  At this time, the young man's forehead was sweating profusely. After waiting for a while and seeing that no one was taking over, he gritted his teeth and said to Master Jie: "Jie, untie me completely."

  In this case, Shi Fu couldn't say much either and could only continue to remove the stone in silence. However, the result was not beyond Chu Chen's expectations, but on the contrary, it was a heavy blow to the young man.

  Only after the jade was cut out, there wasn't a single good spot inside, either large black spots or small ones, completely covering the entire piece of jade.

  The only place that doesn't have black spots is where the stone was initially rubbed, but that piece of jade is only a thin layer and very small, with no exploitable value at all. This means that this piece of black tungsten ore's gamble material can be said to be completely defeated. This also reflects the characteristics of black tungsten ore, either soaring or completely defeated.

  "How is it possible? How can it be?"

  A young man crouched on the ground, constantly flipping through that pile of worthless jade, his whole person had already lost all spirit and vitality. Finally, perhaps accepting this reality, he stood up, his face dull and expressionless, taking stiff steps, one step at a time, walking out.

  Seeing this situation, the onlookers couldn't help but let out a sigh in their hearts. This is just how cruel and realistic the world of gambling stones can be. Since there are winners, there must also be losers. People often only see the winning side, while those who lose everything choose to turn a blind eye.

  The young man's experience is not an isolated case. To say nothing of the distant past, Liu Zhiqing standing next to Chu Chen is a very good example. His previous experiences can be said to be more miserable than those of the young man. In Chu Chen's heart, he could only silently bless and hope that this young man would walk out of the shadow of this complete defeat.
