"Boss, why don't you choose a few of them? Just treat it as a brother's gift. I know you don't need these, but it's okay to choose one for the aunt." The fat man said with a wealthy and generous attitude.

"You'd better save money!"

Yu Zehai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you think a person who farms in the countryside needs to wear gold and silver? Hurry up and take me to see the raw stones."

"Uh, that's OK!"

A young woman who looked like a lobby manager quickly walked over and whispered to Zhang Zhiwen: "Young Master Zhang!"

"It's okay, I'll take my friends to see the raw stones. You guys are busy with your own things, don't worry about me." The fat man waved his hand and signaled.

After leaving the back door of Zhang's Jewelry, there was a secluded alley. Yu Zehai was a little interested in this alley.

This is a very old alley, like a building half a century ago. To be honest, it is rare to be located in the center of Shenshui City. At least, Yu Zehai has been wandering in Shenshui City a lot recently, but this is the first time I have seen such an old building today.

Walking out along the alley, I soon arrived at a small street. Although this Tian Street is relatively deserted, you can still see pedestrians in scattered manner. Yu Zehai looked around and frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Shake the sun! Fatty, why did you take me to the Antique Street?"

"That's right! This is indeed antique street! But our destination is almost here!" Yu Zehai pointed at a large vermilion iron gate in front and said, "Here! That's it!"

Zhang Zhiwen stepped forward and grabbed the pull-up ring of the big iron door and knocked. Soon, an old man over 60 years old poked a head out of the crack of the door with a dry tobacco pipe in his arms, and his two dirty and yellow eyes looked back and forth on Yu Zehai and the others.

"Grandpa Mingde, I am Wenwen!" Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen quickly smiled and said, "I will bring my friends over to see the raw stones."

"So it's you, the fat guy!" The old man's eyes swept over Yu Zehai again, then opened the door and said, "Come in!"

When the two walked into the yard, Yu Zehai glanced curiously on the fat man's body and said, "As for the fact that it is so confidential? Isn't it just a stone-caking gambling? This matter is not illegal in our China, right?"

"Gambling on stones is indeed legal!"

Zhang Zhiwen nodded and said, "One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife is wearing a threadbare. This sentence refers to gambling stones. But one thing you must be clear is that gambling stones are a morally degraded "gambling jade culture" formed by the jade business district after the reform and opening up. It is contrary to the traditional virtue culture of our Chinese nation. Everything that is circulated in the "gambling jade culture" depends on your vision and the theory of luck to play the edge of the law. Therefore, although our country has not explicitly stipulated that such absurd and unjust unhealthy trend is prohibited, people in this circle understand in their hearts, you know and I, just try to do it privately. Once it is put on the table and starts working hard, sooner or later, someone will use various excuses to deal with you."

"I'll go!"

Yu Zehai had gained some knowledge when he heard this, but he couldn't help but say, "But I heard that there are still 'public' and 'private' markets in the gambling stone market. Isn't that obviously a big fanfare?"

"Do you know which countries are the general opening locations?" Zhang Zhiwen rolled his eyes and said angrily: "We in China are awesome, and we can't care about other countries, okay? According to you, it is a serious violation of law to prostitute in China, but it is still a legal industry in a certain country in the south."

"Uh... Okay, let's go and see the stone quickly!" Yu Zehai held his forehead with one hand and said helplessly.

"In this yard, it is not the original stone warehouse of our family. But all the deep-water jade and jewelry merchants have a share here." Zhang Zhiwen pointed and said, "How to say it, you can also regard this place as a miniature version of the 'private' market."

Yu Zehai noticed that many stores were open at this moment, and there were also scattered people wandering around to buy raw stones.

These are some jewelry and jade peers and "gambling jade culture" enthusiasts who do not believe in evil. Anyway, they are all doing business to make money. These merchants buy a large amount of raw stone wool materials. In addition to unraveling some of the raw stone wool materials that they think they are high-energy to produce jade, as for the remaining ones, they will put them out for everyone to "gamble".

Soon, Zhang Zhiwen stopped at the door of a room.

"Young Master Zhang!"

When he saw the two people outside, a middle-aged man immediately walked out and greeted the fat man. Yu Zehai noticed that there was also a small sign hanging on the door of the room, which also wrote the words "Zhang's Jewelry".

The same name, but it is obviously far worse than the store outside, and it is far worse than the workmanship of the signature and the momentum.

The rooms next to them are the same, with a small sign hanging.

If these stores were not hidden in such a deep place, Yu Zehai would have mistakenly thought that this place was also a commercial street. Although the storefront here is much worse than outside, it is also a storefront after all.

"You are here to do your business first, I'll bring my friends here to see!" Zhang Zhiwen waved his hand and said.

Compared with the magnificent shop outside, this spacious hall seems much more messy and unbearable. Raw wool materials of different sizes and colors are placed on shelves or directly stacked on the floor, but without exception, each piece of raw wool materials also has a price mark.

Some stones are priced at hundreds of yuan, some are priced at thousands, but some are priced at millions, and Yu Zehai even feels incredible that several of the raw stones are priced at more than tens of millions.

In the hall, except for some staff, everyone was looking at the stones. Some were looking at the stones on the shelves, and some were squatting on the ground. These people had one common feature, that is, everyone kept knocking and touching the stones with flashlights. Some even carried a small bucket of clear water and smeared them from time to time.

Yu Zehai felt it secretly, then looked at Zhang Zhiwen next to him, and said with a smile: "Fatty, do you want to play?"

When the fat man heard this, he shook his head and said, "Boss, don't tempt me! I am a poor man. Now you ask me to take out hundreds of thousands, I can take out it; but if I ask me to take out one million, it may hurt me. Alas, I'm poor!"

Yu Zehai smiled and scolded, "Get out of here, if you are poor, then there will be no rich people in the world! I think you have saved a lot of private money over the years, right? You have to know that money will depreciate. Money in the bank is not called money, it will only make sense if you take it out and continue to generate value. By the way, when I talk about this, I have to find a way to raise some more money when I turn around, otherwise when I take action next, I will never stand by and shout."

"Let's go back and talk about this, I said, Boss, why don't you pick stones? We've been wandering around for two rounds now."

"Which eye did you see that I didn't pick a stone?" Yu Zehai curled his lips and said, "Who am I, your boss? Do you think I need to be as thorny as others when I pick a stone?" Yu Zehai was indeed looking at the stone, but he did not look at it with his eyes, but was all based on the mental method in his body. Because he wanted to find the kind of jade containing spiritual energy, not to understand jade.

Unfortunately, after a few rounds, he found two more favorable targets. As for the other raw stone wool materials, there might be jade inside, but it was not what he wanted. However, Yu Zehai didn't realize at this moment that there must be jade in the wool materials with spiritual energy; but jade wool materials do not contain spiritual energy.

"Man, come here!"

Before the fat man could speak, Yu Zehai waved to a staff member in the store.

"Boss, what are your instructions?" The salesperson was a young man. He ran over quickly and said with a smile to Yu Zehai.

"I bought this stone! It's 800 yuan, right?" After seeing the other party nodded, Yu Zehai opened his backpack and started counting the money.

"Damn it! Boss, do you really give money?" The fat man next to him said speechlessly.

"One code is one code!" Yu Zehai patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "This is your property, but it is not yours! You should know that the sales of every stone here must be posted. Even if you treat me to dinner and play outside, it is okay, but when it comes to these things, we should do things according to the rules." After that, Yu Zehai ordered eight hundred and handed it over to the salesperson.

The young man didn't know Zhang Zhiwen, so he seemed a little confused after hearing the conversation between the two. After collecting the money, he asked Yu Zehai if he wanted a receipt. After getting the answer he didn't want, the other party picked up the stone and followed them.

"Let's go out and unravel and have fun!" Yu Zehai retracted his gaze and then walked out.

This is an independent simple greenhouse with a stone cutting machine installed in the shanty town. Dozens of people gathered here next to it. They stared at the stone cutting master wearing blue work clothes. To be precise, they were staring at the piece of raw stone wool in front of the stone cutting master.

"Little brother, you bought this piece of wool for 2,000 yuan. Now that you cut the green, it proves that you have won the bet. I'll give you two million, how about you give me this piece of wool?" Next to the stone cutting master, a middle-aged man with a big belly looked at a young man with an excited face beside him.

"Two million and one hundred thousand!"

"Two million and two million!"

...

"Five million!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, different voices came one after another. But when a beautiful woman with a charming voice shouted a high price of 5 million, everyone shook their heads and gave up.
