Da Mao was an expert in the stone gambling industry. After interacting with Li Du, he admired Li Du very much. He knew that although Li Du was always quiet, he was a real expert, much better than him.
This was reflected in many aspects. For example, when he cut the stone, he could not find the jade, but Li Du could draw a line and reach the jade.
Another example was when Da Mao could not make up his mind on a few stones, but Li Du insisted on buying them. Later, the price increased.
Therefore, when Li Du questioned him, he was a little uncertain. He muttered, "That, should be, I think so. Anyway, I think it's seventy to eighty percent water foam. It's not worth the risk."
Li Du asked, "How can you tell?"
Da Mao took out a magnifying glass and looked at it. "Boss, you know, water foam is made up of albite. It has no green properties, but it has naphtha and asbestos. Look at this stone, especially when you look inside. It doesn't have the kind of green that makes people feel comfortable. "
Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi looked at it with wide eyes. Then Zhong Da Pao asked, "Liu Zi, do you see it?"
Liu Zi asked, "See what?"
"Green!"
Liu Zi said firmly, "I don't see it. This stone has no green properties."
As he said this, he touched the cut side of the stone and said, "This thing is lifeless. How can it have the spirituality of jade?"
Da Mao looked at him helplessly and said, "Don't mess around, Master Liu. The outer layer is really jade, but the water is a little bad. I'm talking about looking through this layer of jade. The things inside have no green properties. "
Liu Zi was embarrassed. He touched the back of his head and said, "You have X-ray vision? You can see through the outer layer of jade and see inside? "
Da Mao said, "I can see a little bit. Just a little bit to feel it. It depends on feeling."
Li Du pushed Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi away and said, "It would be strange if you two could tell. Da Mao, continue."
Da Mao tapped the stone with the flashlight again and said, "Can you hear it? The sound is not crisp enough. It's a little muffled, but there is a break in the sound, which means that the inside is not the same. There is indeed a different stone inside, but it is not jade, because large pieces of jade make a very crisp sound. "
Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi swallowed their saliva and mumbled, "Motherf * cker, why can't I hear anything?"
Li Du could not tell that this was all about talent. He could only say that Da Mao's genes were excellent and he was born to do this.
Da Mao used the flashlight to shine on the jade side of the stone and continued, "I remember that the refractive index of water foam is about 1.52, and the refractive index of jade is 1.66. The refractive index of water foam is relatively low, and when you shine a strong light on it, you can feel that it is not bright enough …"
Zhong Da Pao rubbed his eyes and stared at the stone. Then, he said dejectedly, "D * mn, I couldn't tell."
Li Du patted Da Mao's shoulder and said, "Alright, look at the bottom. This is indeed water foam. You're right."
On the other side, the transaction is over. Liao pays and Dao Kun gives him the stone.
Private plates also provided stone-cutting services. The bosses welcomed customers to cut stones here because the stones here were carefully selected by experts who felt that the value was high enough. There was a high probability that the stones would rise in value after being cut.
The reason why there was a saying, 'If you don't know the field, don't gamble on stones' was that when people gambled on stones, they had to know what good stones had been produced by the field, when it was produced, what exactly it was, and what characteristics it had. Then, they would buy the stones based on that.
Due to the fact that it was easy for the private market to rise in value, the results here were very popular among the customers.
There is a stone grinder at the door of the small building. Liao and others carry the stones over and stick red paper on the stones to pay their respects. Then the polishing master comes forward and starts to work.
Li Du did not go out but continued to choose the stones inside. Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi went out to observe. Da Mao shook his head and said, "Why go out? There's a big bubble inside, and it's out. Are you going to watch the show? "
Gradually, shouts could be heard from outside.
"Aiyo, it's rising, it's rising. The head of the water is really good …"
"F * ck, this is a layer of jade skin. It's too thin. Use it to make amulets and rings. Nothing else is of any use."
"Hey, keep cutting, keep cutting. There's water coming out. Good water! Good water! "
"Get ready to shoot. You're really lucky. Congratulations, Liao. You've found another gemstone!"
"Haha, thank you for your support, everyone. Every one counts. Everyone will get a red packet. Let's go and have some tea later. Don't stand on ceremony …"
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no. This, this, this, this water is not right. Cut deeper and take a look. Hey, what bad luck. It's a bubble! "
"It's really a bubble."
"F * ck, bad luck. I was happy for nothing. So it's a bubble."
A few screams of despair could be heard. "That's impossible. How can there be such a big bubble?!"
Just like that, the dust settled. The results proved that Da Mao was right.
Li Du realized that he had underestimated this guy. He had the help of the little bug, so he could see inside the stone. Da Mao, on the other hand, had relied on his eyes and experience. Previously, Da Mao had shown that his ability was weaker than Li Du's, so Li Du did not think too much about it.
Now, it seemed that Da Mao was too good. Many veteran stone gamblers could not compare to him. From this, it could be seen that as his experience increased and his ability was further honed, he would definitely become even better in the future!
Of the nine stones, besides two that were bubble, the remaining seven had jade in them. They could only blame Old Liao and his group for being unlucky.
Li Du was prepared to buy the stones, but when he asked for the price, he was shocked.
"This one, 18 million."
"Oh, this is the treasure of our shop. I'll sell it to you for 40 million!"
"You have a good eye, brother. Look at this beautiful green wax-shelled bubble sand. For luck, I'll sell it to you for 8.88 million …"
Listening to the price, Li Du said to Zhong Da Pao, "The bosses here are really rich. They are all worth hundreds of millions, right?"
Zhong Da Pao said, "That's for sure. What do you think? To be able to control a field, how can one not be worth a few hundred million? "
Liu Zi added, "Dao Kun is still not good enough. His field is almost done. Go to the new field and take a look. Hmph, these bosses are all worth billions! The richest people in the whole of Myanmar are all here! "
These stones could be cut into jade, but it was hard to say whether the jade was worth that much money. Hence, stone gambling relied on gambling. Before the final price was set, anything was possible.
To be cautious, Li Du chose a piece worth 8.88 million. Zhong Da Pao haggled for a while and finally made a deal with an auspicious number of 6.66 million.
After buying the stone, it was time to cut it. Da Mao drew a line on it, and the polishing master opened a window. Then, someone poked his head up and shouted, "Oh, it's rising! What a beautiful green!"
The next step was to polish it meticulously. After a while, the jade was revealed, which was still half covered by the pipa.
At this point, its value had increased greatly. The onlookers had already started asking for the price.
"Brother, are you selling? 15 million? "" Cut again, there's still jade, I'll give you 20 million! "" Cut along here, there's more jade, I'll give you 25 million! "
