Chapter 688: Father-in-law's Complaint, 1 Piece of Wonderful Jade
"Why, young man, you don't think this rough stone is good?"
Chen Yang chuckled and shook his head, saying it was nothing, but Lin Shirong looked up and saw him. He immediately felt very upset and started to question him.
Lin Shirong is also a well-known expert in gambling on stones in Lingnan. In the past four days, he has earned tens of millions by helping the Yang family gamble on stones, which has proved that his vision is by no means underestimated.
Suddenly, a young man appeared out of nowhere, shook his head and sneered at a material he liked. Of course, he couldn't be in a good mood. He didn't curse, but only questioned him. He had already kept it in.
After hearing what Lin Shirong said, boss Yang Hongsheng also looked up at Chen Yang.
Of course, he did not recognize Chen Yang. Although Chen Yang had a grudge against his son and Chen Yang had won 1 billion from his son in gambling on stones, he had never seen Chen Yang before. At this moment, he just frowned and looked displeased, obviously he was also disgusted with Chen Yang's behavior.
The most taboo thing in gambling on stones is to have others make sarcastic remarks or do something that denies others.
Chen Yang originally wanted to remind the two of them. After all, they were compatriots and descendants of Yan and Huang. He didn't want them to suffer too much. However, when he heard Lin Shirong's questioning tone and Yang Hongsheng's hateful look, Chen Yang immediately gave up the idea.
"No, no, you misunderstood. I just suddenly thought of something funny, and suddenly I laughed and shook my head uncontrollably. It has nothing to do with the jadeite raw stone you are looking at. I was just passing by." Chen Yang explained, making up an excuse and taking a step back.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shirong still didn't give a good look, and said coldly: "Humph, do you think I'm old and confused? I don't know what you are laughing at? You dare to laugh but you don't dare to admit it? Since you don't think this rough stone is good, tell me the reason."
Chen Yang felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that after he gave in, this old man Lin would take advantage of him. He was so shameless.
Chen Yang was immediately filled with anger and said, "Fuck you! I'll tell you if you ask me to, but I won't. I've already said that we've just been together for a long time, what else do you want? Are you taking advantage of your age and power to bully others? I'm telling you, you got the wrong person!"
After he finished speaking, Chen Yang walked away, too lazy to bother with this old man anymore.
If you want Chen Yang to respect the elderly and love the young, you can, but the prerequisite is that the other party must give him respect first.
It's impossible to get respect from this disrespectful old man. If he's pushed into a corner, he might even beat him up.
"Hey, stop right there. Whose kid is this? Why are you so rude? Which province are you from? Which company? What are your father and grandfather's names?" Lin Shirong was so angry that he stood up and wanted to chase Chen Yang.
"Forget it, Mr. Lin, why are you arguing with such an undisciplined kid? People who don't know would really think we are bullying others. Let's look at the rough material first. Gambling on the stone is more important. Do you want to buy this material?" Yang Hongsheng shouted to Lin Shirong, not wanting to cause trouble.
As a businessman, he cares about money and profits. Lin Shirong's mood will only affect his ability to make money.
"Hmph, you're lucky, kid. Don't let me meet you again next time. Otherwise, even if your father is here, I will give you a good beating." Lin Shirong said angrily.
Chen Yang ran away too fast and he couldn't catch up with him. Besides, Yang Hongsheng called him, so he gave up and came back to continue looking at the raw stone.
This little episode made Chen Yang speed up his pace, and he soon found his future father-in-law, Yun Batian.
"Oh, my dear son-in-law, I've been looking forward to seeing you come. If you hadn't come, I would have lost all the money I have." When he saw Chen Yang, Yun Batian said excitedly, as if they were old friends who he hadn't seen for many years, and he gave him a bear hug.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Yun, you see, I'm here. I heard from Jinxiu that you lost a lot of money. It doesn't matter, I will help you win it back." Chen Yang promised.
"Hey, where's Jinxiu? Why didn't you come together?" Yun Batian suddenly realized that his daughter was not with Chen Yang, so he asked.
"that……"
Chen Yang's old face suddenly turned red and he hesitated.
Yun Batian, who had experienced this, immediately understood.
My daughter said that Chen Yang had arrived, so she went out to pick him up, but he ended up being gone for over an hour.
It has been such a long time, obviously something is going on.
It has been a month since the two of them last saw each other. It would be strange if young people could control themselves when they are so passionate.
"You kid, take it easy, know when to stop, and don't lose control." Yun Batian looked at Chen Yang and said meaningfully, even with a hint of blame.
In Yun Batian's impression, Chen Yang is a martial arts master who is known as the human cannon, and even demons and monsters are afraid of him.
His daughter was a delicate and frail young lady. Compared with Chen Yang's physique, she was like an egg and a stone, there was no comparison at all.
As an old father, he couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
"..."
Chen Yang almost vomited blood after hearing this. His brain seemed to have crashed and he didn't know how to respond. There was only a black line on his forehead.
By the way, as a father-in-law, do you have to talk about such explosive topics?
Are you even meddling in the private affairs of your daughter and son-in-law?
Moreover, what his father-in-law said was really biased. Chen Yang felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.
Yun Batian thought that his daughter was delicate and weak, but in fact he didn't understand his daughter at all.
Being able to fight against many enemies at once and smashing several bricks with one slap, can you say he is weak and delicate?
Ever since Yun Jinxiu's spiritual roots of her heavenly beauty were awakened, her breakthrough has been beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she has been promoted from a mortal body to a spiritual body.
Seeing Chen Yang's embarrassed face, Yun Batian quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, I just said that, don't take it to heart, just be careful. Come and help me take a look at this rough stone. I've been looking at it for a long time, but I'm still not sure."
As he spoke, Yun Batian squatted down in front of the stall again and looked at the piece of raw stone in front of him.
The owner of the stall was also there. He was a middle-aged man with dark skin and a raw stone merchant from Burmese. As he often dealt with Chinese people, he spoke Mandarin quite fluently and there was no barrier to communication between them.
"Boss, the piece you're interested in is an old pit material from the Baibi Factory, and the old pit material from the Baibi Factory is famous for producing jadeite. The external performance of this material can be said to be very good, and the possibility of a gamble increasing in value is extremely high. You've been looking at it for a while, and now that you like it, just buy it. Sometimes when it comes to gambling on stones, you can't just rely on your eyesight, you also need intuition. And intuition is sometimes more effective than eyesight." The stall owner said to Yun Batian with a faint smile, urging Yun Batian to act quickly.
Baibi Factory is an old factory with a history of more than 300 years, famous for producing blue water jadeite.
"If intuition is so accurate, why do we need a gambling stone consultant? I rely on my intuition and have lost tens of millions in gambling these few days." Yun Batian snorted in dissatisfaction, he would not fall into the trap of the stall owner.
Although he has a lot of money, it doesn't come out of thin air. It would be painful if he lost tens of millions.
He doesn't take action easily now.
The stall owner smiled awkwardly but did not refute Yun Batian's words. After all, what he said made sense. He also did not expect that Yun Batian had already lost tens of millions.
If you gamble on stones based on intuition, your ancestors will have to be very lucky to make a profit.
"I listen to my son-in-law. He is a master in gambling on stones. If he says I can buy it, I will buy it. If he says I can't, I won't buy it." Yun Batian looked at Chen Yang and said with trust.
It can be said that the more the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more he likes him.
In addition to trust and liking, there was even a bit of admiration in Yun Batian's eyes, as if a person had met his idol.
"Master of gambling on stones?"
The stall owner looked at Chen Yang, was stunned at first, and then a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The young man looks to be only in his early twenties. Even if he has been instilled with knowledge about gambling on stones since his mother's womb, it is impossible for him to grow into a master of gambling on stones in more than 20 years.
Those who dare to call themselves masters of gambling on stones are all old men who have been immersed in the business of gambling on stones for decades.
He had never seen a master of gambling on stones in his twenties.
Even if there are some, most of them are just in name only.
Chen Yang did not object when his father-in-law called him a master of gambling on stones. After all, his strength was there. He even defeated the Jade King, so he deserved the title of master of gambling on stones.
He stared at the material that Yun Batian liked and saw that the material was about the size of a washbasin and weighed about 100 pounds. The skin was gray-yellow and relatively rough. If you touched it with your hand, you could feel the burrs and it was very prickly. This is a typical characteristic of the old pit material from the Baibi Factory.
There is a palm-sized piece of pine flower on the surface of the material, but the pine flower is not emerald green, but light blue.
Most of the materials produced by the Baibi Factory are blue water jadeite. The blue color of the pine flowers is a sign that blue water jadeite will be produced.
The price of the material is not cheap. Although it is a completely gambled material, it is priced at a sky-high price of 3.8 million.
Chen Yang opened his golden eyes and looked inside the material through the pine flowers on the surface. He was immediately shocked.
What he saw was that beneath the light blue pine flowers was the same blue as the sea water under the sun, clear and bright, as if the sea water was frozen, with only a few minor flaws.
It is higher than high ice type, but second only to glass type. This kind of water quality is generally called sub-glass type.
Although green is the most respected color of jade, some rare colors of jade can also be sold at sky-high prices if the quality is good enough and the patterns are delicate enough, because some people prefer these rare colors of jade to make themselves stand out.
If blue water jade can reach sub-glass quality, its value is absolutely inestimable.
Chen Yang was excited, thinking that his father-in-law still had some vision and picked out a treasure. Although the price of 3.8 million was a bit high, the quality of the jade was so high that as long as he could make a pair of bracelets out of it, it would be enough to make back his investment.
Fortunately, this is a piece of material that was entirely gambled on. If the boss had opened a window in the material, and opened it in the right position, revealing a sub-glass blue water jadeite, the price would have been increased by at least five times, or even ten times.
This is also the reason why some raw stones like to be sold with windows, because if green is found, the price can be increased several times or even dozens of times. However, opening windows also has risks. If no green is found, the value of the material will be greatly reduced.
Because opening a window is to some extent equivalent to cutting the stone by yourself, it is impossible to get green smoothly every time.
With excitement, Chen Yang continued to look inside, wanting to see how much jade was inside, how many bracelets he could take out, and how much it was worth.
Generally speaking, the value of a piece of jadeite raw stone is judged by how many bracelets it can be made into.
Those jade practitioners have handled a lot of jade, so if you give them a piece of material, they can quickly judge how many bracelets they can make and give a quote.
But Chen Yang continued to look down, and suddenly his eyes darkened, and the excited expression on his face collapsed, because there was only a thin layer of blue water jade in the material, about one to two centimeters, and it did not really penetrate into the material. And the only thin layer of blue water jade could not even take out a bracelet, and could only be polished into a few small miscellaneous items.
This made him burst out laughing, his mood was like a roller coaster. He thought he had picked up a treasure, but it turned out to be a piece of garbage.
"How about it, my dear son-in-law, can I buy this material?" Yun Batian looked at Chen Yang and asked expectantly.
He was still very optimistic about this material, but a series of losses in bets had made him lose confidence and he dared not make a move again easily.
The stall owner also stared at Chen Yang, still with a puzzled look on his face. Others looked at the raw stones with strong flashlights and magnifying glasses, turning them over and over, for fear of missing any details. Chen Yang, on the other hand, had nothing in his hands, but just stared with his eyes wide open, looking with his eyes.
What kind of shitty stone gambling master is this?
He is a novice in gambling on stones, but he is almost a charlatan in gambling on stones.
But then I heard Chen Yang say: "The material is OK, but the price is a bit expensive, the cost performance is not high."
Chen Yang did not say it explicitly. After all, even a god could not tell the quality of jade. He could not say that there was only a thin layer of jade in the material and it was not worth buying. If he did that, the stall owner would definitely scold him to death.
But when he said this, Yun Batian immediately understood what he meant. This piece of material was not worth buying and it would collapse if cut.
"Okay, since the price-performance ratio is not high, then we won't buy it. Let's go inside and take a look at the blind bid materials. The blind bid will be opened tomorrow, and I haven't even placed a single blind bid yet. My dear son-in-law, you have to at least help me invest 100 million. I will wait for the blind bid to be opened tomorrow for this jade public auction." Yun Batian said to Chen Yang. He had already backed out and didn't want to hang around in the open bid area anymore. He went to the blind bid area to bid.
In every jade auction, the hidden bid is the highlight, and jade merchants will invest a lot of money in the hidden bid, because the materials of the hidden bid are generally better than those of the open bid.
"Wait." The stall owner suddenly shouted.
Although he didn't know how Chen Yang knew that this material had a low cost-effectiveness, seeing that Yun Batian trusted Chen Yang and even said that he wanted to bet 100 million in the blind bidding area, he immediately made up his mind to keep him.
It would be best if all the 100 million could remain at his stall.
Although he had materials in the blind bidding area, the materials in the blind bidding area only had numbers, without indicating the company or owner. This was for the sake of fairness and justice. So once he went to the blind bidding area, he could not guarantee that Chen Yang and Yun Batian would definitely bid for his materials, and the benefits would be wasted on outsiders.
