When they returned to the hotel at night, under Zhang Bin's strong request, Yang Ming brought the two stones that he gambled during the day to Zhang Jiefang's room. He wanted to let him appraise which one was more valuable.
"It's definitely mine!" Zhang Bin pointed at his polished stone and said, "Mine is twice the size of yours!"
"You can't say that. If it's a jade, a palm-sized piece would be worth millions!" Zhang Jiefang waved his hand. "Which one is more valuable between a piece of gold and a piece of silver that's twice the size? That's the logic! "
"How is it possible to get a jade?" Zhang Bin was disdainful.
"Nothing is impossible. Luck is hard to predict!" Zhang Jiefang shook his head. "Let's talk about me. Among the people who went to sea with me, I was the only one who made it big. The others are still working hard in small businesses."
Zhang Bin didn't dare to say anything. He knew that his father was superstitious, so he said, "Yeah, my luck isn't good."
"Son, you don't need luck. You have an advantage over others. You have a good father! Even though I'm not a billionaire, my net worth is in the tens of millions. As long as you don't go bankrupt and manage your business well, you won't have to worry about anything for the rest of your life! I don't expect you to expand your business. You just need to protect your family business! "Zhang Jiefang said.
"Dad, you make it sound like I'm a rich second generation!" Zhang Bin was embarrassed. "If there is Yang Ming in the future, we can take care of each other. We will definitely make your family business great!"
"En, I was waiting for you to say that!" Zhang Jiefang laughed. What he said just now was so that Zhang Bin wouldn't feel burdened. But who didn't want their son to be successful?
Yang Ming polished the broken jade a few times quietly to reveal the original color of the jade. Then he pretended to be disappointed and sighed. "It's not even as good as your broken one!"
Zhang Jiefang took a look and shook his head. "This piece of jade can only be sold for ten yuan at the artisan workshop. But it's okay. Isn't there another one? Maybe it is a piece of jade! "Zhang Jiefang comforted him.
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Zhang!" Yang Ming smiled. He purposely brought up this topic. He wanted to shift the topic to luck. He didn't expect Zhang Jiefang to bring it up first. It saved him the trouble of thinking and talking.
Yes, luck was a wonderful thing! There were even scientists from many countries who started to study "luck" as a science! Although this sounded a bit ridiculous, you had to admit that luck really did exist in the unseen world!
For example, when people buy lottery tickets, some people win the lottery time and time again, while others don't win even once. And the person who won the lottery didn't even know why they won the lottery!
It was the same at the poker table. Often, there would be a winner whose cards were especially smooth. Their luck was so good that there was nothing to say about it!
These were all things that science could not explain. Therefore, Yang Ming wanted to start from this aspect and attribute his superpower to luck. This way, no one could do anything to him.
"Hehe, Yang Ming, how is it? You lost, right? I told you, how could you pick anything good out of that pile of junk? So many experts picked it. How could it be your turn? "Zhang Bin said sarcastically.
"I despise you. Are you afraid that I would pick up a piece of jade and ruin your car?" Yang Ming gave him a look of disdain.
"En? Why is it so green? "Yang Ming pretended to be confused. He pointed at the corner of the jade in his hand.
"Let me see!" Zhang Jiefang was stunned. He quickly took the jade in Yang Ming's hand. After looking at it, his face was full of excitement. "Yang Ming, do you know that this is jade? You actually picked up a piece of jade! "
"What? Jade? " Yang Ming pretended to be surprised and stood up. "Uncle Zhang, did you see wrongly?"
"No, how could I see wrongly? Although your Uncle Zhang isn't an expert in this field, I am still an expert in this field. I can still distinguish between jade and jade! This is definitely a piece of jade without a doubt! Yang Ming, I really didn't expect your luck to be so good. Today, the group of businessmen picked up a piece of jade. I thought it was very lucky. I didn't expect you to pick up a piece of jade just like that! "Zhang Jiefang took over the sandpaper in Yang Ming's hand and helped him to sand it.
"Dad, is this really jade?" Zhang Bin also felt that it was unbelievable.
"Go away. Why would your dad lie to you?" Zhang Jiefang was a little unhappy. "Let me tell you. This time Yang Ming won. Your car is ruined!"
"Ah? Don't, dad. Aren't you asking me to ride a roller coaster? It was still in the sky just now. In the blink of an eye, it fell down! "Zhang Bin was a little depressed.
"But since you are interested in jade, I will reward you with a car." Zhang Jiefang said leisurely, but Zhang Bin was sweating profusely.
"Dad, are you trying to scare me?" Zhang Bin let out a sigh of relief.
"Yang Ming, this piece of jade isn't as good as the one from the group of businessmen today. It isn't as big as that one, but it is still considered a mid-grade jade. This stone can be sold for about two hundred thousand yuan." Zhang Jiefang said, "How do you want to deal with it?"
"I don't really understand the market. Uncle Zhang, what do you think?" Yang Ming thought for a while. He still had twenty thousand yuan in his savings. This money was enough for gambling. It didn't matter if this piece of jade was sold or not.
"I don't really recommend you to sell it directly! Uncle Zhang is now advising you as your elder. Of course, I am a businessman. From a businessman's point of view, I am naturally willing to let you sell it to me. " Zhang Jiefang said, "But Uncle Zhang can't do that. You are Zhang Bin's good friend. Even if I want to earn money, I can't earn it from you! What I mean is, you can give the jade to me. Then I will let the people in the factory process it into jewelry and sell it in the shop. Then, it can be sold for about eight hundred thousand yuan! "
"Then it is all up to Uncle Zhang. You can just give me half of the money you earn." Yang Ming wasn't greedy for money. He still needed Zhang Jiefang's channel in the future, so he couldn't be stingy.
"Hehe, you are the younger generation. How can I, Zhang Jiefang, take your money?" Zhang Jiefang laughed, "If you really want to give it to me, you can follow the standard of other people. Give me a ten percent commission fee!"
"But, when you process it, don't you need a commission fee?" Yang Ming felt that Zhang Jiefang wasn't a person who only cared about profits. So, he didn't worry about giving the jade to him.
Besides, this jadeite was nothing to Yang Ming. As long as Yang Ming wanted, he could find a lot of jadeite from thousands of stones.
"That's just a small amount of money. It's only a few hundred yuan." Zhang Jiefang waved his hand. Normally, only people who didn't have a channel would sell their jade. If not, who would be so stupid? They wouldn't earn money.
"Then I will have to trouble Uncle Zhang." Yang Ming thanked him.
Zhang Jiefang already knew about Yang Ming's family background from Zhang Bin. He knew that his parents were workers, so he wanted to use this opportunity to help Yang Ming. If not, he wouldn't be working for nothing! But since Yang Ming was willing to pay the commission fee, it didn't matter.
Zhang Jiefang also considered Yang Ming's luck to be able to obtain a piece of jadeite. Even if he was an expert for decades, he couldn't guarantee that one of the two stones he took out would be a piece of jadeite! If Zhang Jiefang knew that Yang Ming had such a magical ability, he would hesitate. Even if his son was Yang Ming's good friend, he couldn't always help him with this kind of work!
"Uncle Zhang, can you give me a piece of the completed jade pendant?" Yang Ming hesitated and asked.
"Of course, this was originally yours." Zhang Jiefang smiled. "What kind of design do you want? I just need to instruct them!"
Yang Ming nodded. He decided to give Lan Ling a gift. He had already XO her many times, but he didn't give her a gift. Wasn't that too stingy?
"Wow, Yang Ming. You just bent down and picked up eight hundred thousand yuan!" Zhang Bin was full of envy. "Do you have a secret?"
"The secret is that no matter how strong the net is, there will always be a fish that escapes the net." Yang Ming smiled. "This is a probability, hehe."
"What?" Zhang Bin was stunned.
"Yang Ming's words make sense, but not entirely. In fact, this could be because Yang Ming was lucky! "Zhang Jiefang smiled.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Bin still didn't understand.
"In fact, Uncle Zhang also said that these so-called 'eyes' of stone gambling are mostly based on their intuition and experience. There is no difference between a good jade and a bad jade from the outside. If someone could really tell the quality of the jade from the outside, who would sell the raw stones? It would be better to just pick the jade out directly! Those who mine all day long can't tell the difference, let alone these stone gambling people! So, I feel that there must be some missing jade in the pile that was picked out. " Yang Ming explained, "Most people think that the raw stones won't have a good jade, but it doesn't mean that there won't be a good jade."
"I understand now." Zhang Bin nodded. "What you mean is that the raw stones that weren't picked out and the raw stones that were picked out have the same probability of finding a good jade."
