Looking at the excited crowd, Li Du sighed. "I finally know why people are so addicted to stone gambling. For the poor, if they win once, they won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. For the rich, it's very exciting."
Da Mao said, "But unless you have real ability or strong self-control, if you enter this industry, hehe, whether you're rich or poor, sooner or later, you'll fail!"
Zhong Da Pao said, "Yes, the Chinese Village is full of people like that."
Li Du's side could earn at least thirty million RMB after the stone was cut. Under such circumstances, of course, they had to light firecrackers to celebrate.
Previously, they had not been able to light firecrackers, and Liu Zi was anxious. This time, when he heard that he could, he shouted, "One hundred thousand, I want one hundred thousand!"
Zhong Da Pao gave him a kick. "Go to hell, one hundred thousand, ten thousand will do!"
Dao Kun laughed. "I'll give you ten ten thousand, just take it as a red packet."
The boss would give a red packet whenever a stone was cut from a private field. This was a form of publicity, a very effective kind of publicity. For a long time, people who came here to choose stones would follow Li Du's example.
As for Old Liao's big loss? The stone gamblers did not care about that. They only cared about who made money and who made a lot of money. As for who lost, that was their concern.
The firecrackers were hung up, and Da Mao lit a cigarette to help. Then, Zhong Da Pao gave the order. Before he could give the order, two strings of firecrackers went off …
When the others saw that the firecrackers were lit, they also lit the fuses. Suddenly, boom, boom, boom!
Zhong Da Pao was anxious and asked, "Who lit it just now? Who lit it?"
Da Mao touched his nose awkwardly and said, "No one lit it. There were two strings of firecrackers tangled together. I didn't untie them, so I wanted to use the cigarette to heat them …"
"D * mn, are you here to act cute?" Zhong Da Pao was depressed.
After looking at Arukan's private field, their trip there was over. They had to go to the next field.
After going to a few fields, Li Du realized that he had no chance to make a big profit in the private field. The gambling in the private field was actually the least, because the stones there were very expensive!
Later, when they entered the field, Li Du let Zhong Da Pao and the rest follow Da Mao to the private field to take a look. He wandered around outside, looking for an opportunity to pick up the leftovers.
Da Mao first appraised the stones in the private plate. He selected a few, and then Li Du came over to check.
Other than cutting a stone in Arukan and a mine called Bahrain, they did not cut the other stones they bought from the private market. Instead, they put them in bamboo baskets and brought them back.
The reason was very simple. They were the ones who stood out, and the frequency of their swings was too shocking. Many people had already noticed them, and the information from the various fields and entrances spread too quickly!
In the afternoon, they found a place to eat. Life in the field was very difficult. Some local people who came to buy stones would bring some food in advance, such as salted duck eggs, Lao Gan Ma, salted fish and cured meat, etc.
Hpakant was rich, but life was bitter. The fields that Li Du and the others had gone to were around the town, and the food was abundant. Now that they were in Damakan, everything had changed.
They looked at a few restaurants, but the ingredients they provided were too simple.
To Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi, as long as there was food to eat, it was not a problem even if the environment was not good.
However, Li Du was very dissatisfied with the hygiene of the restaurants, and he was not satisfied with the food either. He had come out to earn money, but he wanted to maintain a high standard of living.
Finally, Zhong Da Pao found a farmer. He spent a lot of money to buy two chickens and a lamb. He stewed the chicken and roasted the lamb.
The farmer was at the edge of the field, and there were some stones in front of the door.
Inside the house, Da Mao squatted at the door looking for stones.
He looked for a while and found a stone the size of a palm. He waved for Li Du to come over and take a look.
"Water turned sand, thin shell, with a python line. I think there's jade inside, but the water should be ordinary. I want to gamble," he said.
Li Du did not release the little bug. The stone was too small, and it had appeared in front of the farmer's door. They must have picked it up from the junkyard. Even if they could find it, it would not be worth much.
Seeing that Da Mao was interested, he said, "If you want to gamble, buy it."
Da Mao waved his hand, and the owner walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"
"How much is this stone?"
The owner looked at it and said, "Ten thousand dollars."
Da Mao was shocked. "D * mn, ten thousand dollars for a stone like this? Are you trying to kill someone? "
The owner laughed. "You don't know the trade, foreigner. My stone comes from Pikachu. It was not easy for me to get it. The stones from there will have imperial green!"
Imperial green was almost the top of the line among jade. This type of jade was also known as "emerald jade." The green color was very pure and very rich.
Although jade was respected by the color green, most jade was not green, or only a very light green. The color of imperial green jade was like the color of emerald. The hue was the closest to green in the spectrum. It was the purest green of the green jade, and it was very expensive.
However, imperial green was not the most valuable. Some imperial green was cracked, and some imperial green had cotton in them. The value of these would be greatly reduced. Setting a price for jade was a very troublesome matter. It had to consider many factors.
Although Da Mao had some money, he was used to living a hard life. He felt that ten thousand dollars was a little too much, so he was a little hesitant.
Li Du laughed. "If you want to buy it, just buy it. The previous stones were worth tens of millions, and you bought them just like that."
Da Mao laughed. "That's because you guys paid, not me. If I want to buy it myself, it's better to be careful. Didn't you teach me to be careful? Right, boss, come and take a look. Help me take a look. "
Li Du could only release the little bug to take a look. He took a rough look. The stone was not big, and there was good jade inside. The python lines on the outside showed that the stone was worth buying.
He pretended to rub it for a while and said, "Ten thousand is too expensive. Eight thousand."
The owner said happily, "Alright, you guys take another look. There are so many stones here, and many of them are good. Maybe there is imperial green."
A pair of big and small stones were lined up on the ground. Li Du thought that since he had summoned the little bug, he might as well let it fly in and take a look.
In the end, when the little bug entered a stone that was about two or three kilograms, he was stunned.
Most of the stones in front only had a layer of jade, which was not worth much, but this stone had a piece of jade inside. The deeper it went, the greener the jade became, until it was so green that it looked like it was glistening!
The owner might have just said it casually, but he was right. This was imperial green!
Li Du had looked at all the fields, but he had never seen imperial green! He had seen waxy type, ice type, and glass type, but he had never seen imperial green!
He calmly looked at a stone next to him and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
The owner said, "This is a good stone, expert brother. Look at how well-proportioned the shell is. Look at how round and tight this sand is. And the pine flowers are scattered on the shell. Twenty thousand dollars. "
Li Du put the stone down and curled his lips in disdain. "Twenty thousand? I can buy these two stones here for twenty thousand. "
As he said this, he pointed to the triangular stone and the imperial green.
The owner looked at it and then laughed.
