Chapter 18 Black Usha
"The first is great challenge and courage. The second is the spirit of adventure, because this industry may be rich and powerful, and jumping off the building with one knife. The third is rich experience, which depends on strong economic strength, allowing you to have the chance of the first time living as the third move."
When Hao Huai listened to Li Dun'er's words, he couldn't help but feel the idea of trying his skills.
"The third one is the most important thing. Look at me, I have a big deal but I still have no money to try it." After Li Dun'er said that, looking at Hao Huai's appearance, he immediately reminded: "Old Huai, don't think about it. This industry is lower than buying a lottery."
Hao Huai's passion was extinguished by Li Dun'er's words, and he asked Li Dun'er: "No way? How could he be less likely than buying a lottery?"
After Li Dun'er's story, Hao Huai realized that jade has a history of thousands of years and can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. The history of "gambling for stones" was not long and it became popular in the Qing Dynasty.
When gambling stones, especially jadeites, are covered with a layer of weathered skin. The jadeite produced by old factories has skins, but the water stone jade produced in the riverbed is also old factory jade, with thin or no skin. Most jadeite produced in new factories has skinless, but the ones produced in the slope layer have skins. The thickness and thinness of the skin mainly depends on the degree of weathering. The skin is thicker if the degree of weathering is high. Different gambling stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors.
The gambling stone that cuts or cuts a small piece of leather is called "half gambling stone". The cut part is called opening windows because you can see some internal color, and some people become opening doors. The one that is completely wrapped in the leather is called the full gambling stone. This gambling stone that does not open windows is also the most exciting.
Unprocessed jadeite raw stones are called "wool materials". In the jade trading market, wool materials are also called "stones", full-green wool materials are called "color goods", uneven green wool materials are called "flower brand materials", and large wool materials without high green are called "brick materials".
Jade trade, especially the raw stone trade, successfully relies on luck to invest in the future like gambling and lottery. Because from the appearance, you cannot see its true face as "Lushan". Even today, when science is prosperous, no instrument can quickly determine whether it is "baoyu" or "failed shovel" through this shell. Therefore, the risk of buying and selling is very high and it is also "stimulating", so it is called "gambling".
In fact, when it comes to gambling stones, the predecessor was not this name. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there was a jargon in the jewelry industry called "gambling business". The so-called "gambling business" refers to the pair of eyes that jewelry players can go to jewelry stores to find jade. The gambling stone master must have great challenge ability, adventurous spirit and rich experience. The sentence "It is difficult for gods to break a jade in the middle of the jade." This explains the difficulty very well.
After hearing the introduction, Hao Huai remembered the two men with different mentalities seen on the elevator just now, and understood the reason. One must have been a gamble, while the other one lost all his money and left alone without even asking for a stone.
"Interesting, it seems I have to try my skills today."
Not only was Hao Huai not scared by the cruelty of this industry, but after learning about it, his spirit became more intense.
"Old Huai, let's do it this way. From now on, you will learn to bet on stones with me. You usually call me a few masters and so on. I can also give you some gifts during the Chinese New Year and the holidays." Li Dun'er's words were naturally a joke, and through a brief understanding, Hao Huai had long discovered his habit of joking.
"You can think so beautifully, it's not certain who will be the master of whom."
"I'm so bad, I just like your unyielding character."
"Save it, I don't need you to like it." Hao Huai just finished speaking, and suddenly felt the ring start to tremble again. He couldn't help but look around, and then said to Li Dun'er: "Let's just go and see if there is anything fun."
Hao Huai turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly a hand next to him grabbed his arm tightly, which made him say casually: "What's the matter?"
"I'm not a thing, no, I'm a thing, no..." The young man went back and forth several times, but walked around himself in, finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let's forget it!"
When Hao Huai turned around, he saw a thin young man about the same age as him, holding a small wooden box in his hand, with about ten black stones the size of a teacup.
The young man showed a bright smile, but behind that smile there was a hidden arrogance and ruffianism, and there was no fixed stall as he looked.
"Brother, look at my gambling stones. It's definitely worth the money, the price is fair, the price is suicide, the price is suicide. In short, I have paid my wife. You said that the gambling stones here are fair and unfair."
"Dedede, why are you so annoying?" Hao Huai waved his hand, stopped the young man's words as fast as lightning, and then said, "Is this antique city's third floor specialized in gambling stones?"
"This is your first time here, right?" The young man kept looking at Hao Huai while talking with his weird little eyes.
"So what if it's the first time?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's the first time I'll introduce it to you. This is the largest stone gambling base in Taipei City..." The young man was so fast that he was crazy, especially since he always maintained the same rhythm.
"If you have it, you will be the first sentence." Hao Huai reached out and picked up a stone in the youth box and said, "What is this?"
Before the young man could speak, Li Dun'er's voice came to Hao Huai's ears, "'Black Black Sand' gambling stones, a common type of gambling stone material in jade gambling stones, belonging to the gravel-shaped gambling stones in the ancient jade riverbed sand mine in Burmese jade."
Hao Huai learned about the "black sand" jade gambling stones from Li Dun'er, and this became the type of gambling stones he had first come into contact with.
Jade Ancient Riverbed Sand Mine is the most important type of jade deposit in Myanmar. It not only produces the main gambling stone wool, but also produces the most types of skins that produce jade gambling stones.
Among them are "white salt sand skin", "yellow sand skin", "gray sand skin", "red sand skin", "black black sand skin", "water-turned sand skin", etc. Among them, "black black sand" gambling stones are the jade gravel-shaped gambling stones with the largest output, the strongest gambling ability and the most variables.
On the surface of the black sand jade gambling stone, there are some dark green and black green chlorite clay material cortex. The cortex is black and the texture is soft, which is obviously different from the jade inside.
Because the inner jade is covered by the black sand skin covering the surface, it is difficult to predict the quality of the inner jade based on the characteristics of the skin. There is a saying in the stone gambling industry that "nine out of ten bets have collapsed". Therefore, you need to be extra careful when buying black sand stone gambling."
"You kid really have a trick." Hao Huai originally thought that Li Dun'er was just a tomb robber who washed his hands, but he didn't expect to have some research on gambling stones.
When the young man saw Li Dun'er, he immediately put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "Li Dun'er, you're fine and get out of here."
Since Li Dun'er called out the name of the young man, it means that he knew the young man. After walking to the young man, Li Dun'er smiled and said, "Brother Wang, this is my friend, you..."
Brother Wang didn't let Li Dun'er finish his words, and then glared at him and turned to Hao Huai with a smile, "Since we are a buddy, we can't be stingy. Look at my black sand, it's a great thing."
Brother Wang said, took out a black green flashlight, picked up a black sand gambling stone and put it in front of Hao Huai: "Brother, look at how I am."
