"Brother Chen!"
Ma Xiaoxing greeted him in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen walked over.
Ma Xiaoxing frowned. "Brother Chen! I have something to ask you for help. "
Jiang Chen asked, "What is it?"
"I …"
Ma Xiaoxing was about to say something about stone gambling, but then he thought it was wrong.
He couldn't tell the truth.
If Jiang Chen knew that he was using his money to gamble on stones, he would definitely not agree.
He had to lie.
Ma Xiaoxing suddenly cried.
Jiang Chen was given a fright by the man's tearful voice.
What the hell?
"What's wrong?"
"My, my mother suddenly fell ill! I need 100,000 yuan. It's urgent! I need to pay the hospitalization fee! "
Ma Xiaoxing cried with snot and tears. He said with red eyes, "My family is poor and I can't afford it. I've asked all my relatives and friends, but no one is willing to lend me money. I'm so anxious that I want to jump off a building."
Jiang Chen was quite sympathetic. "Oh, your mother is sick and you can't afford to see a doctor? That's really urgent. "
"Yes."
Ma Xiaoxing said with tears on his face, "Jiang Chen, I beg you, can you lend me 100,000 yuan?! No, 30,000 yuan. If you can't, 10,000 yuan will do! Within a month, I'll pay you back even if I have to sell my blood and kidneys. "
Jiang Chen smiled.
He took out his mobile phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to Ma Xiaoxing. "Go. Pay me back in a month."
"Okay!"
Ma Xiaoxing was excited. He bowed to Jiang Chen again and again.
Jiang Chen left.
Ma Xiaoxing's eyes were shining. He rubbed his hands.
"Damn! This is my chance to make a fortune! "
"Hahaha ~ ~"
"Jiang Chen actually believed me and lent me 10,000 yuan?"
"Haha, I'll pay you back? How can I pay you back? "
Ma Xiaoxing bought a plane ticket that night and flew directly to Southwest Province.
He immediately invested all his capital, a total of 200,000 yuan (except for the 10,000 yuan borrowed from Jiang Chen and 190,000 yuan from other loan sharks), into stone gambling!
One of the main characteristics of stone gambling was that the raw stones were very cheap!
Sold by the catty!
Two hundred thousand was enough to buy a whole cart of raw stones!
Looking at the pile of raw stones, Ma Xiaoxing was filled with excitement as he rubbed his hands.
He was eager to try!
I don't believe it!
There were so many raw stones, but not a single jade stone could be found.
Hehe, I'm finally going to get rich overnight!
Ma Xiaoxing couldn't wait any longer and dragged the raw stone to the appraisal factory.
He asked his master to open the stone, open it, and observe its color.
This process was commonly known as "opening a stone"!
Ma Xiaoxing was like a gambler, betting all his capital on this batch of raw gemstones. He was extremely eager.
Who knew ~ ~
The ideal was plentiful, but the reality was bony.
After the cart full of raw stones was opened, the result was … ~ ~
"I'm sorry. We've opened all your stones. There's not a single jade stone!"
The master said to Ma Xiaoxing with a face full of regret.
Ma Xiaoxing was thunderstruck!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
This time, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
I want to cry ~ ~
That was more than two hundred thousand yuan.
He had bet all his assets and borrowed ten thousand yuan from Jiang Chen. What was worse was that he had borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks.
He was hoping that at least one jade stone could be found in these raw stones.
He would be able to recoup his capital!
He would turn over a new leaf and become rich overnight!
However, reality gave him a critical hit of ten thousand points!
“555！”
Ma Xiaoxing covered his face, broke down, and cried loudly.
The masters at the side were discussing animatedly.
"Sigh, another fool who wants to become rich overnight but ends up as poor as a church mouse!"
"Stone gambling is just gambling. It's not very stable!"
"If it's so easy to make money in stone gambling town, we'll definitely be rich. Do you think we'll let other locals gamble?"
"These so-called raw stones are actually screened by mining factories. They're only thrown there when they're sure that they have no value. Many unscrupulous operators buy them at low prices to cheat ignorant outsiders! "
"Yes, actually, we open stones every day. The number of good jade stones that can be found can be counted with one hand in a year!"
Only then did Ma Xiaoxing realize how cruel the current situation was.
If he wanted to gamble on stones and become rich overnight, it was simply too unrealistic!
He was in a daze. He walked outside and sat down on a rock, fretting.
"F * ck, I still owe Jiang Chen ten thousand yuan. What should I do?"
"Eh? I got it! "
Ma Xiaoxing suddenly came to a realization, and his eyes lit up.
A bold idea suddenly appeared in front of him!
Stone gambling, stone gambling.
I've indeed been cheated. I've lost all my money and gambled.
But I can also fool Jiang Chen!
I'll bring him a stone!
That's what I'll do!
Without another word, Ma Xiaoxing directly picked up the big stone under his butt, casually wrapped it in his clothes, and left.
He returned to the Imperial Capital.
Ma Xiaoxing went straight to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen asked, "What's wrong? Has your mother's illness been cured? "
"Sigh, it's cured!"
Ma Xiaoxing was still frowning. "It's just that …"
He wanted to say something but stopped.
Jiang Chen: "??? If you have something to say, say it! "
"It's just that my family is even poorer after all this trouble."
Ma Xiaoxing looked bitter. "I can't afford to pay back your ten thousand yuan for the time being."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Forget it. You don't have to pay it back for the time being. You can pay it back when you can."
"No, no, no!"
Ma Xiaoxing had a resolute look on his face, as if he were a poor man with great ambition. He said righteously, "What are you talking about? My grandfather often said that our family is poor, but we don't take rewards without doing anything. How can we take benefits for free? How about this … "
He solemnly took out the huge stone from his pocket. "This is my family's heirloom!"
Jiang Chen looked at the ordinary stone. "???"
Ma Xiaoxing said earnestly, "Don't think that this is an ordinary stone. This is actually a piece of raw stone!"
"Raw stone?"
"Yes!"
Ma Xiaoxing said excitedly, "Raw stones are stones mined from mines in the southwest province, a place rich in jadeite. They may contain jade of inestimable value! This raw stone was secretly brought back by my father when he was working as a miner in the southwest province.
"Before he died, he kept thinking about this heirloom and asked me to take good care of it.
"You'll know if it's jade when you open it up, right?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Is your family that short of money? You even brought out your family heirloom? "
"No, no!"
Ma Xiaoxing broke out in a cold sweat and quickly found an excuse. "My father told me that we can't open this stone directly! Otherwise, it's inauspicious! It can only be used as a gift for others! It's left for the fated person! "
"I borrowed ten thousand yuan from you and returned you a family heirloom. We're even now!"
Ma Xiaoxing spoke without thinking and said with a solemn expression, "What do you think?"
Jiang Chen looked at the "family heirloom" and nodded. "Fine, let's do this for now."
"Okay!"
Ma Xiaoxing jumped up excitedly and was secretly delighted.
Hahaha!
A piece of broken stone that I casually picked up from the stone factory is worth ten thousand yuan! Love me!
In this world, was there a better deal than this?
"It's just that I don't know much about stones. I don't know how to open it."
Jiang Chen asked.
"Don't worry about that. I know!"
Ma Xiaoxing picked up his phone heroically. "I'll get you a master with one call and let you know how powerful this family heirloom is."
Sure enough, with one call, the master came.
The master shook his head when he saw the raw stone. "How can this be a raw stone? It doesn't look like it. How can there be jade inside? "
Ma Xiaoxing's face was ashen. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and open the stone!"
The master picked up a tool and opened a hole in the ugly stone.
Then …
A green light illuminated the master's face!
He was stunned!
Inside the ugly stone, there was shockingly …
It was filled with jadeite of high quality and high quality!
Other than the thick layer of stone skin on the outside, the inside was full of green and full of water!
The master was stunned!
Ma Xiaoxing's smile instantly froze on his face!
Jiang Chen was also shocked!
"F * ck, there really is jade!"
The quality was obviously very high!
.....
The smile on Ma Xiaoxing's face was uglier than crying!
F * ck me!
I …
I spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a large cart of raw stones!
No! In fact, I spent more than 1 million yuan on stone gambling.
However, I didn't get a single good jade!
I just sat on a stone casually at the entrance of a stone factory. I stole it back and treated it as trash to cheat Jiang Chen?
Who knew …
This was actually a top-grade jade?
I really want to kill myself!
The stone cutter was shocked. His hand holding the tool trembled slightly. "I've been in this business for at least 20 years. I've never seen such a top-grade glass type imperial green jade! Its value is simply unimaginable and immeasurable! "
Ma Xiaoxing said in a trembling voice, "How much is this thing worth?"
The stone cutter said seriously, "The mining time of jade is getting longer and longer, and the mines that can be mined are getting cleaner and cleaner. There is not much natural jade left in our country. They are all imported. Even the jade in Southeast Asia has been mined a lot. This is the first time I've seen such a top-grade imperial green jade! I've seen a glass type imperial green jade that was much smaller than this before. When it was opened, it was directly bought by someone for 50 million yuan! "
Plop!
Ma Xiaoxing fell to the ground directly!
Tears fell like rain!
My dear mother.
50 million yuan?
And it was much smaller than this?
Wouldn't the value of this piece be more than 100 million yuan?
I directly lost 100 million yuan!
Jiang Chen nodded, smiled, and patted Ma Xiaoxing on the shoulder. "What should I say? You are really an honest and righteous man! I lent you 10,000 yuan, and you returned me 100 million yuan! Thank you, thank you! "
Jiang Chen cupped his hands.
Ma Xiaoxing was dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Jiang Chen smiled. "Okay, I'll find Mr. Zhao Qichang right away. He is an expert in antique jade and knows many top masters. I'll ask him to find someone to carve this raw stone."
Ma Xiaoxing, in a daze, walked out of Jiang Chen's house (Shuimu New City).
Plop!
He knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
He felt sorry for himself for three minutes!
I don't want to live anymore!
.....
.....
Two days later, Ma Xiaoxing was eating instant noodles at home with a herbal tea egg.
The days of hiding from the loan sharks were not good.
The instant noodles were delicious!
The herbal tea egg was even more delicious!
A piece of social news came out and caused an uproar on the fishing boat!
"The Capital Museum has a sculpture of the Martial Sage Guan Yu, which weighs 4.7 kilograms and is carved from the natural glass type imperial green jade!"
Ma Xiaoxing, who was hiding in his rented house, was stunned!
The herbal tea egg was not delicious anymore!
The TV camera was focused on the huge glass-like jade statue of the emperor.
As a stone gambling enthusiast, Ma Xiaoxing recognized it at a glance.
Damn, isn't this the ugly big stone I got from the southwestern province?
But now, the stone had been carved into a lifelike and majestic statue of the Martial Sage Guan Yu by a god-level craftsman!
Guan Yu was wearing a green robe, holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in one hand and a book on the art of war in the other. He was sitting firmly on the throne, looking mighty and imposing. The entire body was made of jade!
In front of the statue, countless tycoons, experts, and reporters from both domestic and foreign countries gathered and took pictures desperately.
Looking at the huge Guan Yu jade sculpture, Ma Xiaoxing almost fainted from crying.
"Let us interview Mr. Zhao Qichang from the Capital Museum!"
"Mr. Zhao, is it rare to see such a high-quality imperial green jade sculpture?" The reporter asked.
Mr. Zhao Qichang was also very excited. "Yes, it is very rare! I have never seen such a high-quality jade before! The quality of the water was perfect to the extreme! The jade from the Qing Dynasty and modern jade that we have seen before are nothing compared to this. "
"Such a high-quality imperial green jade should be very valuable, right?"
The reporter was very curious.
"We know that the higher the quality of the jade, the better the color and the higher the value! The quality of this jade is the highest glass quality and it is the best imperial green jade. Any random bracelet would be worth tens of millions. "
Zhao Qichang answered professionally.
"How much is this statue worth?"
The reporter asked.
Before Zhao Qichang could answer, a blonde man in a suit impatiently said, "Director Zhao, I am Peter from Christie's! I would like to buy this jade sculpture for 100 million USD. What do you think? "
Zhao Qichang waved his hand impatiently. "Go away, stop dreaming! 100 million USD, who are you looking down on? "
The reporter: "…"
Ma Xiaoxing: "…"
Another tycoon squeezed in. "Director Zhao, I am the representative of a mysterious tycoon in the country. My client would like to buy this statue privately for 1.2 billion USD! What do you think? "
Zhao Qichang said awkwardly, "I am sorry, this statue belongs to the real owner of the Capital Museum, Director Jiang. However, I can't say his name to outsiders. I can only pass on the message. It is his decision whether to sell it or not. "
Thump!
Ma Xiaoxing was so angry that he threw the instant noodles on the ground.
He hugged himself and cried out in pain.
1.2 billion USD!
That's 1.2 billion USD!
I missed out on 1.2 billion USD!
I actually gave Jiang Chen 1.2 billion USD!
I am going to cry ~ ~
Am I setting Jiang Chen up?
I am a god-like assistant!
He held a grudge against Jiang Chen. He was burning with jealousy.
'F * ck!
Jiang Chen, just you wait!
I will set you up! '
He was jealous!
"No! I want to fight, I want to set Jiang Chen up! "
Ma Xiaoxing took out a book called "Seven Ways to Get Rich Overnight" and began to read it seriously.
When he saw the way to get rich by speculating in stocks, he smiled sinisterly.
Then, he picked up the phone with a sinister expression.
"Hello? Brother Yang? No, no, no! I will return the loan that I borrowed from you! I know that your family is very powerful, and you seem to be the banker of a certain stock? Hehe, I have a big white sheep here, a super rich owner. It's true! The imperial green jade that appeared on TV recently, Guan Yu, is worth 1.2 billion USD! "
"Do you want to cheat him of more than a billion USD?"
"I have a way!"
"After the deal is done, you have to give me 20% of the profits!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
