The Black Card - Chapter 942

[Chapter 940 Trade Fair Scene]

When Qu Xingye heard this person’s words, his eyes lit up. Shi Lei had also heard of Lao Pi.

Generally speaking, rough stones in old pits are already very rare, and most of the rough stones now come from new pits.

However, the rough stones produced in the old pit are often of much better quality than those in the new pit, which also leads to a much higher possibility of producing jade. This is why the total value of the rough stones at this trade is higher than before.

Of course, since the stones are from Laokeng, their appearance is better, and the possibility of betting increases is higher, so the price of rough stones is naturally much higher.

The two passed through the security check and entered the trade fair venue.

As soon as he entered, many people greeted Qu Xingye. It seemed that Qu Xingye was really a regular visitor here, and many of the guests were very familiar with him.

Seeing that Qu Xingye was very polite to Shi Lei, those guests just guessed about Shi Lei’s identity. But after the owner of the rough stone trade fair saw it, he knew that Shi Lei must be a big fish.

Qu Xingye has already sent over 100 million in funds here, and he is a relatively large customer. Now that he is so polite to Shi Lei, it only shows that Shi Lei’s status and financial strength in China far exceed that of Qu Xingye.

Therefore, a fat black man in his fifties, wearing a Tang suit, came to Qu Xingye and Shi Lei with a smile.

“Mr. Qu, we meet again. I wish you good health!” As he said that, Fatty Hei gave Qu Xingye a big hug and spoke Chinese surprisingly well.

Qu Xingye said: “In Mr. Gonda’s place, health is guaranteed. I hope Mr. Gonda can wish me to bring more emeralds back this time.” Gonda

laughed, but his eyes stayed on Shi Lei.

Qu Xingye saw his true intention and said: “This is Mr. Shi Lei, a good friend of mine. I want to come and see him this time.”

He said this to dispel Gonda’s idea of selling to Shi Lei, and also to prevent Shi Lei from If you can’t control it, you will lose too much money.

Although Shi Lei was successful at a young age and his status was much higher than Qu Xingye’s, Shi Lei was young after all and could easily be affected by the atmosphere at the trade fair. Qu Xingye really didn’t want to see Shi Lei lose a lot because of this.

Gonda looked at Shi Lei with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: “Hello, Mr. Shi, I’m Gonda. We are friends when we meet. If there is anything wrong with our hospitality, just tell me and I will ask them to take good care of Mr. Shi. “

Shi Lei shook hands with him and said politely: “Mr. Gongda, you’re welcome. I just followed Mr. Qu to gain experience, and the hospitality was already very good.”

Gongda nodded and said: “Mr. Shi, what do you like? Just tell me a stone, and I will try my best to give Mr. Shi a satisfactory price.”

After that, Gonda left without further conversation, and Shi Lei began to pay attention to the stones at the fair.

The stones are roughly divided into three categories. The first category is placed together in large and small sizes. There is a sign next to it, which clearly indicates that those stones are worth one thousand yuan per kilogram. In terms of size, they range from several thousand to Ranging from tens of thousands.

These are probably the worst-looking stones. Almost no useful jadeite can be found, and even if the jadeite is found, the water quality will not be very good.

The other type is placed on plates one by one, with the price clearly marked on each piece.

Starting from tens of thousands, the highest is more than 300,000.

As for the rest, a piece of skin has been rubbed away, and some conditions inside can be seen.

Some are obviously green, some have shadows of floc, and some can already see some water heads.

There are still a few pieces, and although the skin has been rubbed away, nothing can be seen.

There is no price tag on these rough stones. It should be that the price needs to be negotiated with Gonda, or the one with the highest price will get it.

There are stone-cutting machines at the four corners of the warehouse, which are prepared for those who have purchased stones and want to cut them on the spot.

Qu Xingye told Shi Lei: “Not everyone here will buy. For example, those few over there are the heads of domestic jewelry companies. Although they come here to gamble on stones, they never buy directly. Any stone. Instead, wait until someone is digging the stone and it is obvious that the quality and color are better, and then buy it at a high price. This can minimize their risk. There are also some people who buy the stone. They left directly and would not open here at all. After returning, no matter what kind of stones they found, they would always claim to have found a batch of good jadeite. As for whether those jadeites were purchased at a high price, or were they really obtained from those What comes out of the stone is unknown.”

Shi Lei nodded and said, “There are so many different things about life. Everyone has different ideas.”

Qu Xingye sighed and said, “Yes, everyone has different ideas.” Thoughts, but in general, everyone is here to gamble. Even if the methods adopted by those in the jewelry company are the safest, there is still a possibility that the stones purchased at a high price will eventually collapse after being opened. . Anyway, in a place like this, getting rich overnight is not a dream, but there are also many people who lose everything overnight. Unfortunately, I am the latter.”

Shi Lei patted Qu Xingye on the shoulder and said: “You will definitely do it this time It may not be enough to redeem your factory, but if you can return to the country this time with more than half of the money you owe, I am willing to guarantee for you and let you redeem the factory first, and then you Use the factory as a mortgage for the loan, and then pay the money back.”

Qu Xingye was stunned, staring at Shi Lei, and said excitedly: “Really?”

Shi Lei nodded and said, “I used to think you were a vicious gambler. But after these two days of communication, I found that you can actually be saved. So, to a certain extent, I am willing to help you, but my help is limited. I cannot directly help you solve all your problems. The debt is due.”

Qu Xingye grabbed Shi Lei’s arm excitedly and said happily: “Master Shi, thank you so much. If I can stand up this time, in the future… as long as you have something to do, I will do whatever you want to do. I’ll let you drive me.”

Shi Lei patted his shoulder again and said with a smile: “Let’s see if your luck is worthy of my action first. Let’s go and take a look at those stones.”

Qu Xingye was excited. He originally needed close to 100 million to get the factory back, but now that Shi Lei is willing to help him, he only needs to use 10 million to 50 million to bring back the factory.

Although he will owe the bank 50 million by then, as long as the factory is there and his customers are still there, he will be able to pay off the debt in two or three years.

Shi Lei was constantly introduced to various stones and their surfaces, and Shi Lei was also constantly absorbing various knowledge about stone gambling. Shi Lei found that almost all the people at the scene were watching, except for a few who bought a few pieces of a thousand stones. The stones cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per kilogram, and not even a single person took action.

Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei’s doubts and explained in a low voice: “There are three days of the trade. On the first day, basically no one will take action. They will mainly wait and see and do research. When we return to the hotel in the evening, many people will get together to understand each other’s situation. , to determine which stones are most worth selling. Especially those with windows, the price needs to be temporarily discussed with Gonda, and some even ask the highest bidder to get it, which makes everyone be more cautious.”

Shi Lei nodded and said If you understand, you don’t use any skills, but just walk around in the crowd.
