The next morning, Zhang Yang changed into a casual outfit and drove to the headquarters of Lido Casino Company's Chaoyang store according to the address he found online. The storefront was about 500-600 square meters in size, with luxurious decorations, and there were streams of people inside.
The hall occasionally had security patrols, and Zhang Yang saw the displayed jade in several display cabinets. Some were as big as fists, some were delicate and transparent, and others were wrapped in stones, vaguely visible inside the jade. With so many jades, it's no wonder there are so many security guards here. If one is not careful, it will be stolen, and the loss will be severe.
Zhang Yang looked around and his goal was mainly the jade rough stone, which was also the only place where he could cheat. Those jade stones that had been cut long ago were of no use to him. In the hall, there was a special area with shelves full of jade rough stones.
Zhang Yang took a closer look at the jade rough stone, and indeed, looking at its surface, there was no sign of anything unusual. No wonder people say that jade is a gamble, thinking about it, extracting jade from such stones really is a gamble. Zhang Yang looked for a while and thought to himself that these should all be gambled on.
He didn't know what half-buried jade looked like, but Zhang Yang continued to walk inside. Soon he saw some rough jade stones with cuts on the surface, revealing the green color inside. However, the cuts were not large and not conspicuous on the stone. These should be what people called "opening windows", also known as half-buried jade. Although opening a window could reveal the green color, no one knew how much jade was inside, maybe the whole stone was jade, or maybe only the area where the window was opened had jade.
It's all about experience and luck now.
Further inside, the material is clearer. Some stones have been cut in half, revealing the jadeite inside. Others are cut into strips, and the general shape and size of the jadeite can be seen clearly.
The prices of these stones are much higher, with tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and one is even priced at 10 million, leaving Zhang Yang aghast.
Originally having over 30 million funds, Zhang Yang felt that he was considered a big rich man, but looking at the jade here, the money in his hands was only enough to buy a few jade bracelets.
No wonder some people become rich overnight, while others go bankrupt, the unpredictability is just too great.
"Little brother, first time here?" A middle-aged man smiled and greeted Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Hmm, I've only heard of gambling on stones before, but didn't quite understand. Since I walked in the door, I'll take a look. Brother, can you introduce me to how these stones are sold?"
A middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, I'm free today! I didn't have any feeling about it either. Let me introduce you to this. We call this a 'full gamble material'. This is a test of one's experience in identifying jade, and of course, luck plays the most important role. As they say, 'even gods can't tell the quality of an inch of jade', that's what this is about. Nobody knows what will happen until the next cut is made! So there's a lot of this type of material, and the price is also relatively cheap! As for 'half gamble material', the risk is much lower. There must be jade in the original stone, which can be confirmed. However, nobody dares to guarantee the size of the jade. The price will be much higher than that of full gamble material. And as for 'clear material', there's nothing more to say. It's clearly priced and usually used by jewelry companies for processing. Unless you want an unusual pendant, it's not a good investment with little profit."
Zhang Yang nodded, looked at the prices on the shelves, and his thoughts cooled down a lot. Not to mention the materials, those semi-finished products were priced in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, just opening with such a small mouth, the price was so high, even if there was profit, it wasn't much. Zhang Yang came here to make money, with such a small difference, it's not as fast as buying lottery tickets.
Seeing Zhang Yang's lack of interest in these woolen goods, the middle-aged man said: "Young fellow, if you want to gamble, you can go take a look at the warehouse in the back. There are all gambled goods there, and the prices have big differences too. You can buy one piece to try your luck."
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and to be honest, he just saw these few pieces of wool on the shelf. Zhang Yang's heart was really calm. This is a bustling hall with people coming and going, and things are on the shelves. He can't move them down one by one to take a look, right? If there was a warehouse, there would be more room for selection. Even if he held a stone in his arms for half a day, no one would mind.
"Thank you, big brother, I'll go take a look at the warehouse in the back," Zhang Yang said.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Go ahead, there are many people behind you, go take a look."
After Zhang Yang left, the middle-aged man smiled and it seemed that the stone gambling industry had gained another person. It was just unknown how his luck would be.
Can't see that middle-aged man, Zhang Yang also sneered, if his guess is correct, this man is likely to be a proxy of Lido Company, or even if he's not from Lido, he must be from another jade gambling company, otherwise he wouldn't understand so much!
As for his self-introduction, it's not out of kindness, just like insurance salespeople introducing insurance, this has become their habit. If he guesses correctly, he'll come back to find himself later, and then his purpose will be known.
Zhang Yang no longer believes that this world has selfless love, helping oneself without any purpose, what a joke, are there still a few good people like this in this world?
Zhang Yang walked into the backyard, where there were even more people than in the front of the store.
There were people crowded around the courtyard, so densely packed that it was impossible to see inside, but a machine could be heard humming in Qingdao. Zhang Yang asked someone at the back, and it turned out that someone was carving stones.
Zhang Yang stopped in his tracks, he had never seen a jade stone before, and this was also an opportunity to understand the price of jade.
Up to now, he is not clear how much the jade dissolved from the stone is worth. As for the price tag in the store, it's all mixed with water and can't be counted. Now is a good opportunity, otherwise you won't know the value when you sell it at a low price later.
Unfortunately, reality didn't follow Zhang Yang's plan. The people surrounding the innermost area suddenly let out a collective "ah" and then someone sighed, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, with some people saying as they walked away: "It's over again."
"This is still a half-baked idea, and it cost 50,000 yuan! Who would have thought that there's just a little green on the surface, but nothing inside?"
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat, 500,000 yuan just disappeared like that, this casino counts money so quickly!
But thinking of his own special ability, he had to try it out, so he gritted his teeth and drilled into the warehouse inside.
There are many people in the warehouse, all of whom are picking stones, and they have not been affected by the failure to dissolve the stone outside at all.
Zhang Yang was stunned by the dense emeralds in the warehouse. If he thought the emerald rough stones he saw last night were a lot, they were nothing compared to this place, the difference was not just big, but huge.
These jade rough stones are of varying sizes, with the larger ones being as tall as a person and the smaller ones only fist-sized. Their shapes are also irregular. Zhang Yang stood there for a while, unsure of where to start.
Raising his eyes to look at those who were picking out the raw jade, Zhang Yang discovered that those who were selecting the raw jade all had a strong light flashlight and magnifying glass in their hands. They were indeed professionals. No wonder he felt that this warehouse was somewhat dimly lit. It turned out that they needed to bring their own tools!
After searching carefully, I couldn't find anyone who didn't bring any tools like me, purely relying on luck, and there wasn't a single one.
But Zhang Yang sneered, what's the use of having tools if you can't see inside? My eyes can see things that you can't. Time's almost up, start working on your own.
Those fist-sized woolen balls were abandoned directly, the time for special abilities was limited, he didn't want to waste it on those small ones, and went straight for the big ones, basketball-sized, and those that looked like 50-60 kilograms in weight, one by one.
Something frustrating happened to Zhang Yang, those jade rough stones didn't even have a green shadow, let alone jade. One after another, until more than ten minutes had passed, Zhang Yang was already sweating.
Although both eyes can see through now, it has not changed the usage time of the heterochromia, that is to say Zhang Yang only has about fifteen minutes left, and more than half of the time has passed. If he doesn't find Feicui, today's action can be said to have completely failed.
Moreover, having failed here, those who went to Feicui Xuan might also meet with failure. Fortunately, I came ahead of time to explore the way, otherwise when facing Duan Fei, I wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.
Then looked at a few more pieces of wool, Zhang Yang lost confidence and basically gave up.
There are too many jade rough stones, his ability time is limited, in the limited time, it's too hard to find a rough stone with jade.
Perhaps this line of work isn't suitable for me, Zhang Yang thought dejectedly.
Zhang Yang plopped his butt down onto a piece of oval-shaped velvet.
He glanced at his watch and let out a sigh, still over a minute left. No wonder they said that gambling on stones was difficult. With his special ability, he had looked at dozens of stones in just over ten minutes, but not one of them had jadeite. Who the hell said that having X-ray vision could guarantee winning at stone gambling? There were so many stones, even with X-ray vision, it was impossible to see through all of them!
Isn't this just cheating people?
Zhang Yang muttered a sentence in anger and hatred, anyway there was still one minute left, don't waste it. Zhang Yang looked at the stone under his butt with an air of indifference.
