MTL - Her Majesty’s Modern Harem-Chapter 65 】
Su Junli had contracted all of Azai's raw materials, and the betting soared. The news that he had made a profit of more than 4 billion quickly spread in the stone gambling market in Kyoto. It was called a miracle, and many people rushed over to see this A man of daring deeds and unfathomable luck.
Given that her actions and luck today were unprecedented, Su Junli was quickly dubbed the "Princess Emerald", which made many gamblers admire and envy her.
"Uncle Murong, do we want to continue shopping?" Su Junli felt a little unhappy when she saw herself being watched and pointed like a giant panda trapped in a zoo, and asked Murong Feng.
"Enough is enough, we can't take up other people's luck all at once, not to mention, I have seen emeralds that I have never seen in my whole life from the stone-resolving feast you just had. This is enough, let's go back What's more, you have to go to Xinjiang." Murong Feng said.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Murong."
Su Junli nodded, and just as he was about to leave with the crowd, a group of people in extraordinary clothes suddenly came in front of him. The one in the front was wearing a white Tang suit, with white hair and a white beard. He was very fairy-like elder.
"The president is here!"
The people gathered around Su Junli yelled in a low voice, "Chairman Zhang Qianfan, who has never been in public, unexpectedly appeared."
"What was he doing in such a hurry?"
"It should be to see Princess Emerald."
"Well, the Emerald Princess is simply a miracle. Even the president of the hermit was alarmed. I don't know what to do?"
Sure enough, that group of people came to look for Su Junli.
Standing in front of Su Junli, Zhang Qianfan quickly sized her up with a pair of wise and gentle eyes, then nodded with a smile and said, "Princess Emerald, hello, I am Zhang Qianfan, the president of the Kyoto Jade Market."
"Hello, President! My name is Su Junli!" Although Su Junli was a little dissatisfied with the new title of princess, she still nodded politely.
"Miss Su, it's an honor to meet you!"
Zhang Qianfan stretched out his hand, and Su Junli shook him slightly, with a smile in his eyes and a calm and composed expression.
"Brother Zhang, it's been a long time. You've become more energetic." Murong Feng and Zhang Qianfan, old acquaintances, also stepped forward to say hello.
"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Murong. I only paid attention to Princess Emerald and ignored my brother. I am really ashamed." Zhang Qianfan laughed happily when he saw Murong Feng. On the other hand, why did you come here to join in the fun today?"
"Accompanies my son and his prospective daughter-in-law to visit." Murong Feng pointed at Su Junli proudly and said with a smile, "She is my prospective daughter-in-law."
"Brother Murong, you are really blessed. Today, a girl who is as lucky as a miracle is actually your prospective daughter-in-law." Zhang Qianfan smiled and looked at Su Junli again, "This girl is also extremely good-looking. Zhong Ling is elegant, like the finest jade, which is pleasing to the eye."
"Thank you, President, for your compliment. Junli is only able to grow well thanks to her parents' genes." Su Junli said modestly.
"Haha, at my age, how can I not know that it is born from the heart? Parents' genes can only determine a person's appearance and height, but they cannot determine a person's temperament. A person with temperament like Miss Su, Mr. Ren I've read people for decades, and I've never seen a woman with such grace and demeanor, enough to conquer the world." Zhang Qianfan said in admiration.
"The president is laughing." Su Junli said lightly, without any complacency in his eyes. Because she was already a person who ruled the world, what Zhang Qianfan said was not an exaggeration at all, but she was just stating a fact, and she didn't feel that she was being praised.
Seeing her so indifferent, Zhang Qianfan was really amazed.
He is not the kind of person who likes to flatter others casually, but seeing Su Junli is like seeing the best jade, and he can't help but want to admiration.
Murong Feng was even more satisfied with Su Junli's performance.
"Brother Murong, Ms. Su, I came to see you in a hurry. I have an unfeeling request and it is urgent. I hope you can think about it." Zhang Qianfan changed the subject and cut straight to the point.
"Oh? If there is anything we can help with, Brother Zhang, just speak up, don't be polite." Murong Feng said.
"You may have also heard that a Sino-Japanese stone betting competition will be held here tomorrow. Although the matter does not seem to be a big deal, it concerns the honor and interests of our Kyoto jade market and the nation. I hope Princess Emerald can help." Zhang Qianfan road.
"We haven't heard of this." Murong Feng shook his head and asked, "What are the rules of this competition?"
"In the first match, each side sends three people. Each person chooses three pieces of wool from the gambling stone market, and then untangles them to see which group untangles the best emerald with the highest value. The second match is between the two sides. Send a person to compare the value of a piece of wool in the wool market again. The third game is the most difficult, that is, to bring a piece of wool, and the two sides choose a person to guess what kind of emerald there is in it. Two wins in three games, Ying's One side, in addition to getting all the emeralds solved in the game, also wins the bet." Zhang Qianfan said.
"What bet?"
"Our bet is the treasure of the Jingdu jade field, the Nine Dragons Jade Bi. Their bet is the Heshibi that was snatched from our country that day." Zhang Qianfan said with a burning light in his gentle eyes, "You also We know how important the Heshibi is to our country and our jade industry, and it must not be lost abroad, nor can the Nine Dragons Jade Bi, so we must win!"
"It's such an important bet?" Murong Feng frowned and said, "You mean you want Xiaoli to come over and help you? Didn't you choose anyone to participate in the bet before?"
"We planned to invite a few stone gamblers with certain experience and prestige, but unfortunately, they all have something to do. Even Jun Mowen from Xinjiang went into seclusion because of his practice." Zhang Qianfan said with a sad face, "The reason why we hold this high-level stone gambling event is to find a few talents."
"So, you chose our Xiaoli?" Murong Feng asked.
"Well, with Miss Su's performance today, she is definitely a master stone gambler. Even the king of stone gamblers is not so generous." Zhang Qianfan looked at Su Junli and said.
"Xiaoli bought all the wool because she wanted to help little girl Azai. It's just luck." Murong Feng said.
"Hehe, betting on stones is all about luck. Miss Su's luck is inflated against the sky at this time, and she is more suitable for our candidates. Brother Murong, Miss Su, for our national treasure, I beg you." Zhang Qianfan said in a sincere tone. the way.
Murong Feng looked at Su Junli, "Xiaoli, can you slow down the journey to Xinjiang?"
"OK."
As for the excitement, Su Junli actually liked to join in, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing her agreeing, Zhang Qianfan was overjoyed, "Thank you Miss Su! You will definitely bring luck to our Huaxia."
"No thanks, that's what I should do."
Su Junli said lightly, "I don't know, besides me, who else is participating?"
"Well, the disciple of the Betting Stone King performed well today, I want to count him in, and there is another..." Zhang Qianfan said with a little frown, "There is no candidate yet."
Su Junli looked at Azai.
Azai shook his head hastily.
Su Junli remembered that she said that her life could not participate in the stone betting, so she gave up, so she thought of Ye.
"President, I can recommend my friend. Like me, he has a very special feeling about gambling stones." Su Junli said.
Zhang Qianfan was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Where is your friend?"
Su Junli pointed at Ye, "It's him."
Zhang Qianfan looked at Ye suspiciously, "I don't know what to call this brother?"
"night."
"Have you ever gambled with stones?" Zhang Qianfan asked.
"I haven't gambled before, but I just solved the stone for me." Su Junli said.
"Then..." Zhang Qianfan was puzzled.
"Since I also want to participate in the competition, the person I recommend is naturally a person with confidence. If you have confidence in me, you should also have confidence in him." Su Junli said.
"Miss Su, please don't be offended, because the matter is very important, I want to be cautious. I wonder if Brother Ye can show his true skills?" Zhang Qianfan looked at Ye and said.
"Ye, go over there and pick three pieces of wool."
Su Junli said to Ye Ye.
Ye nodded, as long as Su Junli wanted him to do it, he would have no objection.
He came to a stall next to him, and first took a rough look around the shapes of various woolen materials.
He is an extremely smart person. When he was helping Su Junli to unravel the stone just now, he had roughly figured out what kind of woolen material might turn green.
I roughly selected a few targets, walked over, bent over and reached out to touch the texture of the wool, and then picked out three of them.
The owner of this wool stall is very mercenary, unlike Azai's stall, there is no price marked on the wool fabric. Seeing that Ye selected the three pieces, I thought of Su Junli's bad luck just now, and Ye was recommended by her. Those who went to participate in the Sino-Japanese Stone Gambling Contest concluded that there should be high greens in it, so they just sat on the ground and raised the price, and the price of a piece of wool was actually 30 million.
Seeing the owner of the stall like this, Zhang Qianfan frowned slightly, "You usually buy at most 500,000 yuan for woolen fabrics, but now the asking price is so high, aren't you afraid that I will disqualify you from selling woolen fabrics here?"
"Hehe, President, although ordinary woolen materials only sell for 500,000 yuan, but these few yuan can produce high-quality green, what is a mere 30 million yuan? If you don't want it, people will naturally rush to ask for it, or I keep it for myself."
The owner of this stall has made up his mind, these three pieces of wool are enough for him to earn, so what if he is canceled to set up a stall here?
"Then I don't want it anymore." Ye said lightly, "I can go to other places to choose wool."
"Oh? Okay." The stall owner happily agreed. He just thought about waiting for Ye Ye and they to leave, and he would solve the three yuan himself, and then make a fortune.
"As the president, I now prohibit you from coming to the jade market in the lower realm." Zhang Qianfan turned slightly angrily and said to an assistant next to him, "As soon as this contract is over, remember to drive him away immediately and prevent him from entering the jade market for life." Here, in addition, you also inform the stone gambling markets in various places."
The stall owner listened, and it didn't matter at all. As long as he can solve three top-quality jade this time, earn hundreds of millions, and Huaxia can't get along with him, he can go to Myanmar to open a woolen stall, it's no big deal.
"If you really choose these three pieces, our Jade Shop can buy those three pieces of wool." Zhang Qianfan said to Ye Ye.
"It's not necessary." Ye smiled lightly, "It's the same if you go to other places to choose again."
Su Junli saw a sly look in Ye's usually stern eyes, and couldn't help reaching out to touch the three pieces of wool, but there was no smell of jade in it, and it was all white stones.
"You bastard!" Su Junli didn't expect Ye to be so black-bellied, so she scolded him.
"I've seen through the greedy gaze of that stall owner a long time ago." Ye smiled and said, "If that's the case, let his greed have nowhere to escape."
"Ha ha-"
Su Junli couldn't help laughing, this guy Ye was like a silent dog since he was a child, and he often plots against people who don't like him suddenly.
This time, the greedy boss is probably going to lose everything!
Ye walked into another stall, and the owner of the stall was a middle-aged woman who looked relatively simple and honest.
"President, all the woolen materials here have been clearly marked before, please choose with confidence." The woman greeted very sincerely, "I will definitely not raise prices on the floor."
"Aunt Ah Xin always puts integrity first, very good." Zhang Qianfan nodded in praise.
"This is the rule that should be followed in doing business." Mrs. Ashin smiled honestly, "People say that jade is priceless, but in fact, for businessmen, honesty is priceless. It's just that the woolen stuff here is priceless. Most of them have already been picked by customers, I don’t know if this gentleman can still pick out good wool from them. As a Chinese, I naturally hope that we can defeat Japan and get back Heshibi.”
"Aunt Ashin's awareness is high! No wonder you have the highest transaction volume every year." Zhang Qianfan praised with a raised finger.
"All of this is due to your prestige, President." Mrs. Ashin looked at Ye who lowered her head and concentrated on picking wool, "I hope he is like Princess Emerald, so we will surely win the battle."
Ye picked for a while, and picked out three pieces of wool that were not too big. One was as big as a chopping board, the other was the size of a basketball, and the other was a little bigger, but not too big.
Moreover, the original price of these three pieces of wool was not high, one piece was 50,000 yuan, one piece was one hundred thousand yuan, and one piece was two hundred thousand yuan.
Zhang Qianfan looked suspiciously at the three pieces of wool that Ye chose. No matter in terms of size or appearance, these three pieces should not be the kind that can produce high green.
"He couldn't be intimidated by the greedy yellow just now, so he specially picked out cheap ones?" Some people began to discuss.
"I don't think he understands anything. He just touches the wool and doesn't even use a flashlight and a magnifying glass. Does his hand have any super powers to see through?"
"How can people have perspective?"
"The reason why Princess Emerald was able to gamble so much just now is that she wrapped all of Azai's wool without even looking at the wool. Can this be called strength? I think it is more luck."
"Luck is something that not everyone can have. Let's not talk about it, let's just watch. We also hope that we can choose someone who is capable to win that little Japan. I really look forward to tomorrow's excitement!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we must win Little Japan and bring back Heshibi, which is our national treasure."
"Did you choose these three?" Zhang Qianfan asked.
Ye nodded, "Well, that's them."
"Okay, if these three pieces can really turn green, that's enough to prove your strength." Zhang Qianfan nodded. Because no matter from which point of view, anyone who has a little knowledge of stone gambling would not choose these three pieces of wool.
Su Junli reached out to touch the three pieces of wool, and Yu's unique warm tentacles hit her, and it really was good wool.
"Are you going to solve it yourself, or let Master Jieshi do it?" Zhang Qianfan asked.
"I figured it out myself."
For Jieshi, Ye is still full of enthusiasm. In this world, there is no one who would not like to be amazed at the moment when the lovely jade is released from his hands.
When he helped Su Junli unravel the stone just now, he also loved this feeling very much.
Ye first fixed the relatively large piece of wool, and then began to cut it with a cutter. After only three cuts, a piece of translucent green jade appeared in front of everyone's eyes. After splashing it with clear water, it could be identified as a water-type jadeite.
Water jadeite has a slightly thicker jade structure than Laokeng glass jadeite, and its luster and transparency are slightly lower than Laokeng glass jadeite, but similar or equivalent to ice jadeite. Its characteristic is that it is as transparent as water but has a soft luster. When you look closely at its internal structure, you can see a few "ripples", or a small amount of dark cracks and stone patterns, and occasionally there are very few impurities and cotton willow. Some experts say that water jade is light or colorless, and the quality is slightly worse. It is a variety of middle and upper grades and occasional upper grades in jadeite.
After it was completely untied, this water-type jadeite was the size of a brick, and was sold to a jade merchant for 800,000 yuan.
Ye unwrapped that piece of wool about the size of a chopping board again, and this time it unwrapped an ice-species red jadeite, worth five million.
Seeing his continuous betting soaring, those who doubted his strength stopped humming, and all looked at Ye with a pair of extremely admiring eyes.
Zhang Qianfan also nodded in satisfaction.
The third piece of wool was unraveled, and it turned out to be a glass yellow jadeite. Even though it was only the size of a fist, it was sold for 30 million yuan.
"Brother Ye, you are really admirable." Zhang Qianfan applauded happily, "Even the King of Gambling Stones doesn't have a hit rate like yours."
After everyone was amazed, the smarter stone gambler hurried back to the stall where Ye first picked wool.
Some people even offered 50 million yuan to take the three pieces of wool that Ye Ye had taken a fancy to.
The three pieces of wool are quite large in size. If the jade can be extracted, it is estimated to be very considerable, and the value can be worth more than 100 million at any time.
"I'm sorry, I don't sell these three pieces of wool, I'll unpack them myself." The stall owner's eyes lit up at this moment, looking at the three stones, as if looking at a vault, how could he be willing to give up the visible profits to others .
However, when he fully unwrapped the first piece of wool with full expectation, there was nothing inside, only a pile of white stones, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, but thinking that there were still two pieces of hope, he continued to untie the second piece. Two pieces, but it turned out to be the same stone. I couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood, and finally spurted it out.
The onlookers booed when they saw him untie two worthless stones in a row. What's more, everyone hated a businessman like him who was mercenary and raised prices. No one wanted him to lose all his money.
"Boss, are you still selling the third piece?"
asked a stone gambler.
The boss gritted his teeth, thinking that he had lost two pieces of wool, and he couldn't afford to lose the third.
To sell or not to sell?
This is really a dilemma for him.
He would be unwilling to sell it.
If you don't sell it, if you find out that white stone again, you will be at a loss.
After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind: "Sell! Fifty million!"
"Fifty million? Oh, boss, you are really joking. In terms of size and volume, your wool is worth at most 300,000." The stone bettor sneered.
"My piece of wool is different." The stall owner said angrily, "Didn't you just pay 50 million to buy it?"
"It was just now, and now is now. Look at you, you have already unraveled two pieces of waste rock. Who dares to believe that jade will come out of this piece of wool? Maybe that brother fooled you and picked a bunch of waste stones for you. Stone. I am kind. I don’t want you to unravel the wool and vomit blood. I just want to spend some money to buy it as a good deed. .” The man said in a bitter tone.
The stall owner's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back again, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
If this piece of wool cannot earn him back his capital, he will be miserable, because of Zhang Qianfan's ban, he will no longer be able to work in the stone gambling industry.
Since it can't be sold for 30 million, let's gamble again!
He didn't believe that the wool that Ye picked at Mrs. Ashin's place could produce three pieces of high green, while the ones he picked at his place were all stones. Could it be that he would foresee that he would deliberately raise the price to fool himself?
"I don't want to sell the ones I'm **** with, so I'll unpack them myself." He set the wool on the stone-breaking machine, and once again mustered up all his hopes to start unpacking.
After cutting about ten knives, I finally saw a touch of bright green, so green that it penetrates the heart, so green that people feel that all the greens in the world are gathered in it, which makes people feel infinitely cool.
"Damn it, it's actually a glass emerald!"
Someone yelled out of balance, "God is so stupid, he actually asked him to unlock the emerald!"
When the stall owner saw such a translucent green, his depressed heart suddenly disappeared, and his face glowed ruddy.
Looking at the section, the area of this emerald should not be small, the size of someone's two palms. If it is fully solved, it is estimated to be worth at least two to three hundred million, which is enough for him to earn.
"A half-gamble? Eighty million, will you sell it or not?" a jade merchant called out.
Emeralds are rare things.
"Eighty million? Is it too little?" The stall owner snorted coldly.
"One hundred million."
"I won't sell it, I want to get it all out." The stall owner is full of confidence in his piece of wool. He wants to earn more than 300 million, so why would he be tempted by a mere 100 million?
Seeing that he didn't sell it, no one asked the price.
The stall owner was full of expectations and raised the cutter again to cut carefully. As a result, the smear of green was only a thin layer, at most the thickness of two sheets of paper.
"Cut, it turned out to be Pilu. Fortunately, I didn't buy it just now." The jade merchant who asked for a price of 100 million yelled gloatingly.
The stall owner's face was ashen-colored, and the hand holding the cutting knife was trembling. He continued to cut carefully in disbelief until the end, but he couldn't cut any more green, except for the thin layer at the beginning.
And that thin layer of emeralds, because there are very few ornaments that can be made, is only worth 10,000 yuan at most.
puff-
A heavy mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth, his face was like gold paper, and he limply crawled on the ground, but no one was willing to help him, he let him live or die.
"It deserves it!"
One person even spat fiercely on his back, "The most annoying thing is this kind of greedy, shameless and unfaithful person. Knowing that that brother is going to bring glory to our Huaxia Jade Field, but such a shameless person The price is raised from the ground, even if God doesn’t help.”
"Yes, those who have attained the Dao will help a lot. For a man without Dao like him, even if he is lucky, he will take a detour."
"Sister-in-law Ashin said it well, faith is priceless!"
Although the stall owner was so angry that he couldn't move, his ears were still clear and sensitive. When he listened to the language that everyone despised, he simply rolled his eyes and pretended to pass out instead of fainting.
"Miss Su, Brother Ye, having you here is really a blessing to the Chinese jade world. I look forward to your victory over the Japanese stone gambling world tomorrow, and bring back the Heshibi that originally belonged to us in Huaxia, so as to show our country's prestige." Zhang Qianfan was excited. Holding Ye's hand firmly.
"Do your best."
Ye said lightly. He has lived in Dayong since he was a child, and he doesn't have much idea of the nation-states in this world. As long as Su Junli likes it, he is willing to accompany her to beat up this lively one.
