Chapter 40 The Conference Ends
It was the first time for Lin Xi and the others to participate in such a stone gambling convention. They were very curious about everything and did not feel tired even watching it. Mother Lin also chose a small rough stone, but she didn't have the same luck as Lin Tian and it collapsed.
Lin Xi picked two pieces from the stall at the end. They were in good condition and cost 30. The material was not big, so Lin Xi asked the boss to wrap it in a newspaper and put it in her bag.
Zheng Tian didn't buy it. Her family made jewelry, and she had seen gambling on stones before.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Xi and the others went to the main venue to find Father Zheng. When they arrived, Father Zheng's secretary met them at the door.
Zheng Tian: "Where is my dad?"
Secretary: "Mr. Zheng is inside."
The secretary led them inside. After entering, they found that the venue was very large. The open space was now filled with raw jade stones. Father Zheng and the others were gathered in the middle, not knowing what they were looking at.
"dad."
"You are here."
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Xi and the others took a closer look and found that it was a large rough stone, weighing two tons by visual inspection. The surface of this rough stone is very good, and the distribution of python belts and pine flowers is also very good. There is also an opening on the left side, revealing a touch of Zhengyang green inside, and the species has also reached the ice species. When I shine it with a lamp, I can see inside There is more water leaking out, and it may become a glass seed. Lin Xi looked at the price, it was 200 million.
Lin Xi looked at the rough stone, and it really didn't show any shortcomings. Lin Xi almost wanted to buy the rough stone. But 200 million is not a small amount, so Lin Xi feels that it is better to be cautious. She slowly observed around the rough stone, and found something like fly droppings in a place near the bottom behind her. She looked at it with a lamp and found that there was such fly droppings in a large area around it, which is what is often said. Ringworm.
If there is ringworm only on the bottom side, it can still be photographed, but according to the lighting conditions, the ringworm is very deep. Lin Xi changed directions again and found that there was still some ringworm, so it seemed that she had to be cautious.
“This rough stone is very likely to be the winner tonight.”
Lin Xi saw Father Zheng's troubled expression and asked, "Dad, do you want to buy this rough stone?"
"You won't lose money if you buy this rough stone."
"Come over here and take a look."
Father Zheng followed Lin Xi to the back in confusion. When Lin Xi shined a light on it, Father Zheng saw ringworm that looked like fly droppings and immediately became vigilant.
Zheng's father immediately called the masters who followed him to study together. Seeing how serious they were, Lin Xi was afraid that they would not be able to take care of the meal, so she silently took Lin's mother and Lin Tian to eat. Zheng Tian did not want to wait here stupidly. He also followed.
Lin Xi and the others ate quickly and then entered the venue to look at the stones. The glass type Lin Xi wanted was not yet available, and the bidding would begin at three o'clock. Lin Xi's master-level stone gambling skills allowed Lin Xi to quickly select a batch, but there were indeed too many materials. By three o'clock, Lin Xi only chose five pieces. The price of each piece is not low. Originally, the materials for the conference were more expensive than those sold at street stalls outside. Add in the bidding, and the price can be imagined. Among them, the lowest price was No. 109, and Lin Xi also paid 80. The most expensive piece was No. 238, a piece of material from Mogang. The surface reaction was very good and the size was quite large. The price was 280 million. There were many bidders, and Lin Xi paid 500 million. Lin Xi's number plate was No. 30. After filling out the bidding form, she was waiting to see if she could win the bid.
Lin Xi and Mother Lin were chatting and waiting, when Father Zheng came over.
"Xixi, I didn't expect you to know how to gamble on stones."
"I crammed in some knowledge at home the past few days."
Looking at Lin Xi's look, Father Zheng knew that she was not telling the truth. How could someone who had only studied for two days see ringworm, but he didn't ask.
"Fortunately, you reminded me that I didn't bid for that piece of material because it was too risky."
"Actually, I didn't do anything."
The group of people were waiting to see the bidding results, and the winning numbers began to scroll on the big screen.
......
No. 47, winning bidder No. 30, 135 million;
......
No. 109, winning bidder No. 30, 80 million;
......
No. 194, winning bidder No. 30, 220 million;
......
No. 238, winning bidder No. 30, 500 million;
......
Lin Xi won a total of four out of five pieces of material, which was pretty good. The remaining piece was taken away by someone who bid 10 yuan higher than her, but Lin Xi was also very satisfied.
Zheng's father's company also won the bid of five yuan, and also received three yuan of the revealed materials.
Lin Xi went to the official office and paid the money, and asked Father Zheng to help bring the materials back. Lin Xi also asked Father Zheng to help buy a set of stone-breaking machines and shipped them to her home.
The stone gambling conference ended like this. Zheng's father wanted to invite Lin Xi's family to have a meal together, but after shopping all day today, Lin's mother was obviously very tired, so Lin Xi took Lin's mother and Lin Tian home. Tian rides in her father's car.
On the way home, Lin Tian received 200 million from Zheng's father to buy ingredients. Lin Tian happily transferred 50 to Lin's mother and Lin Xi each. Neither Lin Xi nor Lin's mother wanted it, but Lin Tian said that sharing would make them happier, so they accepted it.
After arriving home, the family was so tired that they simply got something to eat and then went back to their rooms to rest.
