Although the peddlers looked shabby, they were actually quite wealthy. The raw materials they had on them were worth at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Some local snacks were served. Li Du casually ate his food and drank his milk tea. Then, he released the little bugs to shuttle through the jade raw materials in the hands of the hawkers.
The people in the teahouse came from all over the world. There were Caucasians, Asians, and Blacks. Among them, Asians were mainly Asians, Asians were mainly East Asians, and East Asians were mainly Chinese.
The atmosphere was lively as they ate breakfast.
"The goods here are more and cheaper than in Ruili. Bro, we should have come here earlier."
"Yesterday's stone was a pity. After washing it, the entire shell was a black belt. How good would it be? There were flowers on it, and you could see the green when the lamp was lit. But what happened when you cut it open? You're right that it's full of color, but the cotton is too dirty. Five hundred thousand is gone! "
"That bastard Old Chen of Liangjiang got lucky. He knocked out a forty-kilogram stone. After grinding it, the python belt was exposed. There was green under the python belt. After grinding it, a white base was revealed. Guess what happened in the end? It's a full green Ice-type! I've earned more than 20 million! "
"F * ck, I'll look for Old Chen to celebrate …"
Similar topics were constantly thrown out, and most of the people talking were very excited. The units that came out of their mouths were in the millions and tens of millions. This was not them being pretentious, but the market was like this.
The bald middle-aged man was also excited when he heard this. He then muttered, "Brother Cannon, why don't we have such good luck?"
Li Du asked, "Do you guys play this stuff too?"
The bald middle-aged man laughed. "Of course, we're not playing. We want to rely on it to make a living. But Brother Pao's luck is terrible. Every time he buys a stone, no matter how beautiful it is, it all ends up in failure."
Zhong Da Pao waved his hand and said, "Shoo, shoo, shoo. Liu Zi, eat your food. You've scolded the neighbors for so long, and you still can't shut your mouth?"
At this time, a few people came in from outside, staggering. They saw an empty table and wanted to walk over, but in the short ten meters, they bumped into a few people.
Seeing this, Zhong Dapao shook his head and said, "It's over."
Someone recognized them and asked, "Boss Zhang, Boss Duan? Hey, where did you guys come from? What happened? "
One of them picked up a teacup and gulped down two mouthfuls. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, listen to me and go back. The waters of this industry are too deep, too deep!"
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
That person laughed bitterly. "The 18 million yuan stone was cut open, and the base was very clear. It was snow-white, just like the base of the Ice Seed. It was also good to look at it under the light. There was green, full green …"
"Isn't this the same as the green Ice-type monster that appeared yesterday?"
Hearing this, the man laughed even more miserably. "F * ck, what full green ice type. I thought it was full green ice type too, so I bought it for 1,800 yuan. But look at the result? When I cut it open, I saw that it was all white cotton. It's f * cking foam! "
An uproar broke out. Everyone shook their heads and sighed. In fact, many people were secretly laughing.
Li Du asked in a low voice, "What is water foam?"
Zhong Da Pao said, "Its scientific name is albite. It's also a type of jade. It looks quite beautiful, and its water level is similar to that of jadeite. Because it's completely transparent and white, it's very similar to ice-type jadeite. That's why many people have suffered from it."
Li Du said, "Since it's very similar to ice-type jadeite, how can its value be low?"
Zhong Da Pao nodded. "Very low. The two are not the same thing. First of all, albite has a low specific gravity. This is reflected in the touch. It's not stable, and it's not strong enough to be made into a bracelet. Also, its refractive index is very low. This is a fatal point. The more light there is in the jade, the more beautiful it is. Even if this thing has light, it's useless … "
The bald, middle-aged man stared at Li Du and said, "I say, man, are you really a f * cking rookie? This is common sense, don't you understand? "
Li Du was not angry at being questioned by him. He just laughed and said, "I've said before that I'm a rookie. I'm just a little luckier."
Zhong Da Pao stopped Liu Zi and said, "Shut up. We're not f * cking rookies. We're so old that we can't fly anymore. What's the use of having bad luck?"
A woman passed by with some raw materials in her hands. Li Du snapped his fingers and asked, "How much?"
The woman asked in broken Mandarin, "How much?"
"All of it." Li Du used his hand to draw a circle.
The woman looked at him in surprise. The people around them also looked at him in surprise. This was jade raw materials, not cabbages in the market. People who bought this stuff would be carefully selected. Who would buy it just by drawing a circle?
Liu Zi almost spat out his tea. "All of it?"
The woman pondered for a moment and said, "RMB? That's Zhong Da Pao. "
Li Du looked at Zhong Da Pao. Liu Zi was on the verge of breaking down again. "D * mn, you don't even know …"
Zhong Da Pao kicked him and glared at him fiercely. Then, he moved closer to Li Du and said in a low voice, "You mean you've named a price, six hundred thousand …"
Li Du said helplessly, "I know. Six hundred thousand to six hundred and ninety-nine thousand. I understand. What I'm asking you is, what's the price like here?"
It was not like he did not do his homework when he came to Hpakant. He had already figured out the pricing for the jade trade.
This was a form of jargon. It was a way to express the price of an offer. Among the nine Arabic numbers, one, two, and three were small, four, five, and six were medium, seven, eight, and nine were large. Medium was six, large was seven, small was one, small was three, and large was nine.
As for the number that was quoted, it was the number of digits. Ten thousand was a five-digit number, one hundred thousand was a six-digit number, and one million was a seven-digit number. Just now, the woman said that it was medium large, which meant that it was between six hundred thousand and seven hundred thousand.
Zhong Da Pao smiled sheepishly and said, "We've underestimated Brother Li. This price is about right. A plate at Dapan Teahouse usually costs five to six hundred thousand to a million."
Li Du looked at the woman and said, "How about medium large?"
The woman hesitated and said, "How about the maximum?"
The minimum was the lowest number in the price range, and the maximum was the highest number in the price range. This meant that they were going to discuss the price in detail.
Li Du gave Zhong Da Pao a look. Zhong Da Pao stood up and said, "Give the minimum. It's good that you're opening the shop early in the morning. That's a good sign."
The woman was about to speak when a man laughed. "Sell it to him, Sang Bo. If you don't sell it, no one will take it. Haha, Master Pao's hands are the worst. He's definitely interested in a chicken. As long as he asks for the price, this stone will be finished!"
"F * ck you, Leng Bie, what did you say?" Liu Zi's bad temper immediately flared up. He slammed the table and jumped up.
The security guard, who was patrolling outside, immediately poked his head in. Zhong Da Pao reached out and pulled Liu Zi to sit down. Then, he waved his hand at the security guard and said, "It's fine, it's fine."
The security guard stared at them coldly, holding the shotgun tightly in his hand.
The man who was called Leng Bie walked over with a toothpick in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Master Liu is getting more and more impressive. What, are you going to kill me?"
