Chapter 45 Chapter 045

When Jia Sidao arrived at the designated hotel, it was obvious that quite a few of the members who had made an appointment to form a group to gamble on stones had already come. After introducing each other for a while, Jia Sidao didn't recognize him. After all, he had been hanging out on the forum for a while, and they had some exchanges with each other.Now that we have met, it is nothing more than matching the names on the forum with the real people. It's like an old collector called 'Zeng Shi Swordsman', a native of Yunnan and one of the initiators of this event.Everyone calls it 'Old Knife'.However, he does not like to gamble with stones. From the name of the forum he gave himself, it is not difficult to know that he is a person who has a soft spot for weapons.I was able to come this time, on the one hand, to meet old friends who were more talkative in several forums, and on the other hand, to do my best to be a landlord.

The active members on these forums are not limited to betting on stones, they do everything, like a girl named 'Xiaoqiu 88', who is obviously only in her early twenties, looks like a student, Taking advantage of the summer vacation, let’s come to Yunnan to experience the magic of gambling stones. Usually, on the forum, we pay more attention to calligraphy and painting, especially Western oil paintings.Jia Sidao thinks that perhaps Xiaoqiu himself is an oil painter. Of course, Yu Feishang is the most enthusiastic about Jia Sidao. Not to mention that the two are about the same age, Yu Feishang is still thinking about Jia Sidao's jasper Avalokitesvara jade pendant.As soon as he saw Jia Sidao, he called "Xiao Jia" affectionately. Those who didn't know his appearance thought they were old acquaintances.

Among the dozen or so people, there are old and young, male and female. Looking back at the statistics, Jia Sidao was relatively late.When another middle-aged man from the north arrives at noon, the temporary team will be considered full.Everyone had a meal in Kunming, took a rest, and drove to Tengchong in the afternoon. The distance between the two places is still a bit long, and it takes about ten hours by car. Fortunately, as Lao Dao said, a hotel has been arranged in Tengchong, and even if we arrive in the middle of the night, we can rest as soon as possible. Thinking about being able to really get in touch with gambling stones early in the morning, Jia Sidao didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and he was very excited, with infinite expectations on the one hand, but anxiety on the other.To say that this time, Jia Sidao took all the deposits on hand, even though, his 30,000 yuan, excluding the air ticket when he came here, and the recent odds and ends, the rest It was just over 25,000, which was pitifully small compared to the Stone Gamblers.

However, the price of a piece of rough jadeite ranges from a few hundred dollars to millions of dollars. .It compares people's psychological quality and vision of seeing stones. As the saying goes, "one knife is poor and one knife is rich", it will make people feel extremely thrilling and exciting, and it is so deeply attracted to you. Of course, not all wool sellers are idiots. Compared with high-priced jade wool, the probability of producing jade is naturally lower.There is a saying in the industry that when funds are sufficient, bet big and not small. Fortunately, Jia Sidao still has the help of supernatural powers. All he needs to do is to pick a piece of jadeite wool with a suitable price, untie it on the spot, and have a beautiful and legendary beginning. After that, things will be much easier to handle.

Looking at the sky outside the car window, it gradually faded, and Jia Sidao, who was lying down, also exercised his mental strength as a routine.Since affirming the effectiveness of the exercise method, Jia Sidao has never stopped for a day.Gradually, Jia Sidao also found out some experiences, such as the posture of meditation, which actually did not have much impact on his concentration and consumption of mental power.This also allowed Jia Sidao to practice quietly on the long-distance bus. In the eyes of others, Jia Sidao was just staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Because it is based on the forum of 'Tianxia Collection', it is not the first time for many of the dozen or so members of the team to meet together.Yu Feishang had told Jia Sidao that there had been many gatherings like this.In the first half of the year, they also organized a group to go to Panjiayuan in Beijing.

I don't know if I found any good things, but it's quite interesting for people from all over the world to have a chance to get together.No, people who are acquainted with each other will naturally be next to each other when choosing seats.There was even a man and a woman wading next to each other, holding hands, making flirtatious gestures or something. When Jia Sidao let out a long sigh of relief and finished today's practice, he heard Yu Feishang next to him, and followed him with a long sigh. "What's the matter? Is it because you don't have much confidence in tomorrow's trip to Tengchong?" Although we just met today, because they are both young people, Jia Sidao and Yu Feishang can talk.Moreover, Yu Feishang's family is dealing in jadeite wool. Such families are relatively common in Guangdong.

Even in the Jieyang area, there are entire villages engaged in jadeite business. Yu Feishang's real name is Yu Fei, and his surname is Liu. His father is quite well-known in the jadeite wool industry, and his business is quite big, and he has been familiar with it since he was a child, so he naturally knows a lot.In this team, to be honest, most people are laymen when it comes to stone gambling, and they are only interested in it.There are very few people like Liu Yufei who treat jadeite as a business. Probably the middle-aged man named 'The Stone from Other Mountains' who came last was more reliable than Liu Yufei.

"I go to Tengchong almost every year, so I don't have confidence." Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao, shook his head, and said, "I just lament the loneliness of the journey. If there is a beautiful woman lying next to me now, then It would be great, and there would be no longer a long night to sleep unintentionally." Jia Sidao was speechless for a while. "Why, don't you believe it?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao and frowned, "It shouldn't be. You look pretty good, so you don't mean to be a bit of a glamorist when you join this group?  … ...Look over there," Liu Feiyu said, giving Jia Sidao a look, that is, a man and a woman who Jia Sidao noticed before, "Oh, I just came a little late for a day, and it turned out , the famous flower has an owner..."

The helplessness in that tone probably filled the entire carriage. "Over there, isn't there another one?" Jia Sidao glanced at Xiaoqiu's position.Of the dozen or so, only three were women.Excluding the famous woman and a middle-aged woman, there is only Xiaoqiu, who looks like a juicy, young, and full of vigor, Jia Sidao is surprised, why Liu Yufei didn't like it ? "Her?" Liu Yufei shook his head, "I'm not interested in painting Western paintings." Yes, Ganqing is still a nationalist.In the dark compartment, Jia Sidao checked the few words Liu Yufei said with his performance all the time.However, since people are so obsessed with Jasper, it is reasonable to reject oil paintings.In the end, Jia Sidao could only attribute it to this reason.

All the way in silence, when the bus arrived in Tengchong, everyone followed Lao Dao and entered a hotel next to the station, waiting for dawn.
