Chapter 44 Gambling on Stones
The four of them returned to the villa, Ye Chen went to cook, and the other three exchanged their cultivation experiences.
Soon after, Ye Chen prepared lunch and filled the table. Since the three of them started practicing, their appetites had increased a lot. Seeing the three of them eating hungrily, Ye Chen was also very happy.
After lunch, Ye Chen called Mr. Song and said he planned to go to Yunling City the day after tomorrow.
Mr. Song also reported to Ye Chen the situation of occupying all the assets of the Li family. Ye Chen was not interested in this and just let Mr. Song take full responsibility.
Chat for a while and hang up the phone.
In the past two days, the four of them went to Dongjing Mountain to practice magic during the day, and absorbed spiritual energy at night to slowly improve their cultivation.
At present, the cultivation of the three people has reached the peak of the first level of Qi training, and is not far from the second level.
The spell has also been initially mastered. As long as you practice it frequently, you will become handy.
On the morning of the third day, Ye Chen led Xie Yanran and Song Zihan to take a train to Yunling City.
We could have taken the Song family helicopter there, but we chose the train because we wanted to keep a low profile and not cause too much trouble.
You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The three of them talked and laughed and spent the journey happily.
In the evening, the three of them arrived in Yunling City and checked into a luxury hotel, Song Zihan said.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Xie, we are staying in this hotel today. The safety and service here are very good.
Tomorrow morning we will go to the largest jade trading market in Yunling City. You two should go to bed early."
Ye Chen and Xie Yanran nodded.
The waiter led Ye Chen and the two to the presidential suite. It was luxuriously decorated and magnificent, and it was simply a top-notch enjoyment.
Ye and Chen had a great time playing like ducks in the huge bathtub, and then went to the spacious bed to have a deep and friendly exchange, which of course included a lot of ups and downs.
The next morning, the three of them had breakfast and took a special car to the Jade Exchange Market.
Soon after, they arrived at the Jade Exchange Market, which covers a huge area and is divided into three floors. Ye Chen and the other two went straight into the hall without any delay.
Entering the hall, you first see the rough stones all over the floor, some big and small, neatly arranged in the hall. All the rough stones have numbers and price tags on them.
Song Zihan explained.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Xie, this is the largest jade trading market in Yunling City. It is divided into three floors.
The quality of the first layer of rough stones is slightly lower, the price is basically several thousand to hundreds of thousands, and the quality of the cut stones will not be very good.
The quality of the second layer of rough stones will be much better, and the price ranges from hundreds of thousands to more than one million.
The rough stones on the third level are of the best quality and are much more likely to be sold. The price is over one million or even tens of millions.
There is an old saying in stone gambling, for all life and all death, you must have a unique vision and enough luck."
Ye Chen and Ye Chen nodded, basically understanding the rules.
Ye Chen understands that jade is actually nurtured by the aura of heaven and earth. The better the jade, the more aura it contains.
Ye Chen let go of his spiritual consciousness, covering all the jade stones in the entire first floor hall, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
After a while, the situation of the jade in the hall was clear. Sure enough, as Song Zihan said, the quality of the jade in the hall on the first floor is not very good.
Not many have spiritual energy fluctuations, some have only minimal spiritual energy, and a few have pretty good spiritual energy fluctuations.
Just when Ye Chen was about to start selecting jade, a strange voice sounded.
"Hey, isn't this the famous Ye Chen? You come here to gamble on stones too."
Ye Chen and the others looked back following the voice and saw a fat, wretched-looking boy looking at Ye Chen and the others with disdain, followed by an old man and two bodyguards.
Ye Chen said doubtfully.
"Who are you? I don't seem to recognize you."
The boy continued.
"I am the young master of the Wang family in Beijing. My name is Wang Long. I am also a student at Jianghai Medical University. You and I are not in the same department. I study Western medicine."
Ye Chen continued to ask.
"Oh, what does that have to do with me? I don't know you."
Wang Long said angrily.
"Ye Chen, don't be too arrogant. You have become famous in the school recently. You have become a famous figure in the school. You have also become the school's belle. After seeing you today, you are really enough to go shopping."
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
"Who you are has nothing to do with me, and what I do has nothing to do with you. Don't harass me."
After that, he took the two of them and prepared to leave.
Wang Long continued.
"Ye Chen, let's not talk about anything else. Since we meet here at Gambling Stone today, how about the two of us competing on Gambling Stone?"
Ye Chen turned around and suddenly said playfully.
"Since you want to bet, I have no problem with it, but the stakes are too low, so I'm not interested."
Ye Chen wanted to teach this arrogant rich second generation a lesson.
Wang Long said disdainfully.
"Ye Chen, if you don't even ask about the strength of my Wang family in the capital, you will still be afraid of you.
Let's do this. One game will determine the outcome. When betting, we choose three stones. The one with the highest total price wins. The bet is 10 million for each game. What do you think? "
Ye Chen shook his head and said.
“Not interested, the stakes are too small”
"How much did you say the bet was?"
Ye Chen stretched out a finger and said.
"One hundred million"
The Wang family where Wang Long belongs is only a third-rate family in the capital. Of course, it is much stronger than the Song family.
This time Wang Long came to purchase jade with only 200 million. If he lost, he would never be able to explain it to his family.
But Wang Long didn't believe that Ye Chen would win, so he readily agreed and asked the manager here to act as a notary. The gambling fight between the two also attracted many people to watch.
The two began to choose stones, and Ye Chen went straight to the raw stone area without hesitation.
Ye Chen walked in front, followed by the registrar. Ye Chen pointed at a rough stone and said.
"I want this"
The registrar behind immediately wrote down the number. Ye Chen didn't stop and walked to the next one. The registrar wrote down the number.
Soon, the three rough stones were selected. This scene shocked everyone. When choosing rough stones, you should not carefully study the texture, color and other conditions before considering whether to ship them.
Why did Ye Chen choose the stone at random? Not to mention careful observation, he didn't even take a second look.
Everyone shook their heads helplessly. It seemed that he was a layman and didn't know how to choose stones. Ye Chen would definitely lose.
On Wang Long's side, the old man behind him held a magnifying glass, sometimes observing its color, sometimes observing its texture.
I turned on the flashlight to observe the transparency. After half an hour of selecting stones, I finally selected three.
Both parties brought the selected rough stones to the stone dissolving machine.
The three rough stones that Ye Chen selected were the richest ones in the hall on the first floor. The largest one was as big as a washbasin, and the smallest one was as big as a fist.
said the manager as a notary.
"You two have chosen the original stone. Now let's start unraveling the stone. Who comes first?"
Wang Long said very confidently.
"It's all the same, I'll go first"
As he spoke, the old man beside him picked up the scribing pen and marked on the rough stone, and the master began to cut.
The first stone was as big as a basketball. The master cut it slowly according to the lines. When he cut it with one cut, there was nothing. Then he cut it slowly with the second cut.
Suddenly someone shouted.
"Look, it's green, it's green"
Everyone also watched carefully, and there was green in the cutout, but it was not very obvious.
The master began to cut and polish slowly, and the green color became more and more, someone said.
"Judging from the color, this should be emerald, which is a high-grade jadeite."
Everyone also nodded, and the master continued to polish it slowly. Soon after, it was all polished, and a piece of green jade the size of a table tennis ball appeared.
Everyone exclaimed that the old man had good eyesight and this piece was worth one million. Wang Long was also very happy and looked at Ye Chen and said.
"Ye Chen, did you see it?" Ye Chen looked at him expressionlessly and ignored him.
Immediately after starting the second piece, the master cut and polished it several times, and green color also appeared, and was finally confirmed to be yellow green.
The whole green color is slightly yellowish, but the value is pretty good, at least 300,000 yuan.
After the third piece was cut, there was nothing. The manager finally calculated that Wang Long spent 300,000 yuan to buy the rough stone.
The total value is 1.3 million, and others are envious of it.
