018: Gambling stone jadeite is covered with a layer of weathered skin when it is mined, and it is impossible to know whether it is good or bad. Even in today's advanced science and technology, there is no instrument that can directly see through the skin. It must be cut or drilled to know The texture of the inside.It is this kind of uncertainty that makes the purchase of jadeite wool a certain risk, just like gambling, so it is called stone gambling.

In the past, because Lin Li had no money and didn't like gambling, he dismissed gambling activities such as stone gambling and wood gambling, and even had a certain degree of disgust and resistance.But when he suddenly realized that jadeite is also a seal material, his concept was completely different.

Bi Han seemed very excited, and chattered and introduced: "We in China have been lovers of jade since ancient times, and jadeite, the king of jade, has naturally become a leader in the jewelry industry."

Almost without a pause, Bi Han continued: "Ever since it was admired by the royal family at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the development of jadeite has been out of control, and it has quickly become the favorite of the general public. Especially in the past few years when the country has been developing rapidly, with the wealthy class With the rapid growth of the country and the luxury of consumption concepts, the status of jadeite in the jewelry industry is getting higher and higher, and it has become the most popular jewelry other than gold, silver and diamonds. It’s all less than that.”

Lin Li just nodded in cooperation to see what Bi Han wanted to say.

Sure enough, Bi Han then said with a smile: "A Li, my brother is very lucky. I have an old jadeite Guanyin with excellent quality at a low price in my hometown. When my brother is short of money, I will sell it. You can even get tens of thousands of yuan.”

It turned out to be for showing off.

It was only then that Lin Li remembered that Bi Han was a talented student majoring in archeology.Before Bi Han heard about Lin Li's successive leaks, he was probably stimulated and his self-esteem was challenged.Saying it like this now somewhat narrows the gap and restores the flavor of the image.

Lin Li also praised in cooperation: "Brother Bi Han is indeed worthy of being Teacher Xu's proud student!"

Bi Han smiled triumphantly.

"Bi Han! Come here and help me palm my eyes!"

Mr. Xie was not so polite anymore, he was so anxious that he had nowhere to ask for advice, and immediately greeted Bi Han as soon as he saw him.

Bi Han and Lin Li hurried over.

Mr. Xie asked straight to the point: "Bi Han, come and help my brother take a look at this old pit material. Don't think it weighs 2.5 kilograms, but it costs 8000 yuan!"

Lin Li gasped.

He knew that rough jadeite was very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.No matter how you look at this stone, it looks like a mountain rock. Compared with the mountain rock, the surface is a little more green. The skin surface seems to be a little smooth and a little bit transparent, but there is nothing outstanding about it.

But such an unremarkable stone was sold for 8000 yuan, which is more powerful than robbery.

Bi Han obviously belonged to this way, and immediately analyzed: "Mr. Xie, its skin is as red as waxy meat, smooth and transparent. It is obviously the old pitted waxy skin at the mouth of the Ulu River. It is made of the best material. But there are too many flowers on its shell, I'm afraid it will turn into a pine flower."

The former ones are easy to understand, but the latter ones are like falling into the clouds.

Lin Li wanted to ask, but seeing that Bi Han and Mr. Xie were so involved in the discussion, he had to put it away and wait for them to solve the mystery.

Mr. Xie and Bi Han quickly finished discussing. One went to settle the bill, and the other turned around and explained to Lin Li: "Mr. Xie is really bold enough and decided to take a gamble. He plans to start from the place with the most pine flowers. Emerald, if you can earn it, withdraw it, regardless of how much you earn."

Lin Li weakly raised his hand.

Bi Han nodded puzzled.

Lin Li asked: "What is an old pit? Is it the difference between old and new pits?"

"It turns out that you also have weaknesses."

Bi Han laughed and explained happily: "In the general concept, for all kinds of jade including jadeite, the older the jade, the darker the color, the better the transparency, and the value will naturally increase. High. Therefore, in the circle, those mining areas rich in high-grade wool are generally called Laokeng, while those rich in medium and low-grade wool are called Xinkeng.”

"I see."

Lin Li finally understood the difference, and then asked, "Then what is a pine flower? What is a stormy pine flower?"

Bi Han seriously explained: "The pine flower is the specific reaction of the pigment inside the jade on the epidermis, and it is the most important basis for betting on the color. The pine flower can be thick or light, sparse or dense, and has different shapes. Generally speaking, the greener the jade, the fresher it is." The better. But sometimes the pine flower is too good and brilliant, and it may be that the color inside the jade goes to the leather surface, but there is no color or light color inside, this phenomenon is called storm pine flower.”

"I understand."

These words were easy to understand, and Lin Li nodded his head.

The pine flower is one of the basis for judging the internal color of the jade, and the pine flower is not more and more, sometimes it is too much.

Bi Han wanted to say something at first, but when Mr. Xie started to break down, he urged: "A Li, the risk of betting on stones is too high, and the requirements for psychological quality and knowledge theory are too high. It is better for you not to touch it for the time being." Let's go over there to have a look, learn while watching, and slowly accumulate experience."

"Oh!"

Lin Li didn't have much emotion.

Thinking of the previous idea, Lin Li sneaked a step behind, and threw an identification spell at the nearest rough jadeite in the glass container:

Undecomposed jadeite rough.

Seeing such a simple evaluation, Lin Li's eyebrows began to twitch.However, he was not discouraged. This was not the first time he had encountered such a thing, and immediately threw another identification technique on the rough emerald stone at the same time:

Rough jadeite that may contain jadeite.

Going one step further, Lin Li was so excited that he almost cried out.If this trick really worked, all the gambling stones in the world would be his back garden, and he could play however he wanted.

Excited, Lin Li immediately lost another identification technique.But this time he suffered retribution, the strong backlash from the failure of the appraisal made his heart feel depressed, his body seemed to be missing something, 10 hp and 2 mp were missing.

Bi Han saw that Lin Li's face was different, and asked with concern, "A Li, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Li said perfunctorily, "Maybe he was too nervous."

Bi Han replied with a smile: "I said that betting on rocks is the most exciting gambling activity."

Lin Li thought for a while, then pointed to the piece of rough jadeite that had just been appraised and asked, "Brother Bi Han, what is the wool in that glass counter? Why is it so expensive?"

Just now Lin Li noticed that the rough jadeite in the glass cabinet seemed to be very expensive, almost all of which were of the same level as Mr. Xie's wool, which was too expensive for Lin Li to accept.

Bi Han immediately replied: "Those are all old pit materials, and they are still high-quality old pit materials with good performance. Naturally, the price is much more expensive than the ordinary ones. The piece of material that Mr. Xie is solving is where to choose." Those who come out are not us poor boys who are just getting started."

Lin Li suddenly came over.

Since it is a high-quality material, it is naturally difficult to identify it.Just because high-grade materials can't play well, it doesn't mean that low-grade rough jadeite stones can't. Lin Li didn't give up so easily.

Ever since, Lin Li came to a pile of materials that seemed to be forgotten, and threw an appraisal spell at the largest piece of rough jadeite:

Raw jadeite containing low-grade jadeite is recommended to buy because of its low price and certain profit margins.

Sure enough, because the level of appraisal technique is not enough, the appraisal of high-grade materials will encounter problems, but the results of appraisal of inferior materials are immediately available, and there are even purchase suggestions, which is really complete.

Lin Li was a little disappointed compared to before, but it was better than nothing.

In order to test the results of the identification technique, Lin Li picked up the piece of material without hesitation.And when he picked it up, he realized that this piece of material was actually cut in half, and there was a white sandy surface on the cut surface, which didn't look like emerald.

Out of trust in the system, Lin Li came to the counter holding the rough jadeite.

The salesman glanced at Lin Li in surprise, seeing that Lin Li was not joking, so he could only look up the specific price according to the serial number, and then quoted: "400 yuan."

Lin Li was taken aback for a moment, and then happily paid.

This piece of rough jadeite is as big as a volleyball, but much larger than Mr. Xie's.Lin Li originally thought that such a large piece of rough jadeite would cost at least two or three thousand yuan, but he didn't expect it to cost only 3000 yuan.

When Lin Li got the shopping list and confirmed the deal, he cheerfully walked towards Bi Han with the stone in his arms.

Bi Han was still wondering where Lin Li went, and didn't want to just turn around, so he came over with woolen materials, and hurriedly persuaded him: "A Li, don't mess around, you can only see the woolen materials here if you buy them carefully. It needs to be paid in advance.”

Lin Li didn't answer, and handed Bi Han the shopping list.

"what!"

When Bi Han saw the shopping list, he looked at Lin Li angrily.

Before the puzzled Lin Li could ask, Bi Han said, "A Li, you are usually so smart, why did you suddenly become confused? You should know that this piece of material is waste. Not to mention 400 yuan, even 200 yuan is not worth it, no one would buy such an unlucky material."

Lin Li couldn't tell his secret, so he could only say euphemistically: "I've bought everything, so let's take a closer look, anyway, it's only 400 yuan."

Bi Han shook his head and sighed, persuading him: "A Li, I'm not talking about you, but you are a little blind now. Your luck can't be so good all the time. It's fine to pick up the mistakes twice before. After all, your eyesight and courage take the lead. Most of it has been reached; but this time it's all about luck, and that's not how you play when you have money, let alone your money is used to study."

"Thank you Bi Han for reminding me."

Lin Li knew that Bi Han was doing it for his own good, so he didn't argue with him, but obediently put the rough jadeite on the ground, and waited for Mr. Xie to finish.

Bi Han couldn't help shaking his head, apparently dissatisfied with Lin Li's impulsive behavior.

"It's green!"

"It's rubbed up! Mr. Xie's old waxy skin has turned green!"

"It's such a beautiful bright green. This kind of jadeite is in short supply in the market, and you can't just buy it if you want it."

The scene boiled with the appearance of the emerald green face.

And Lin Li was also forgotten by the crowd.
