"Mr. Jiang, you shouldn't pay the 5% service fee. We don't have it here."
The guard couldn't help but remind him.
Business trade, in addition to killing cooked animals, also kills living things.
It’s easy to understand familiarity. For example, those e-commerce platforms rely on Internet big data to clearly arrange for users. The same product with different numbers shows two prices.
As for killing, it is easier to understand.
Most of the killings occur online, while the killing of animals is common offline.
Just like now.
As a foreigner and looking young and harmless, Boss Jiang is a typical ideal fat sheep.
I bought melons on the roadside and asked the melon seller to help me cut them. However, the melon seller said that I could cut them, but they would charge a fee.
This is simply out of control.
Most people will definitely not be able to accept it.
But when you are away from home, you won’t get hung up on the minutiae. And as a businessman himself, Boss Jiang doesn’t care about being ripped off, as long as he makes it clear in advance.
If you don’t mention asking for money beforehand, then it involves extortion.
The stall owner stated in advance that at least at this point, Jiang Chen felt that he could accept it. Besides, he was not alone. Pei Yunxi was watching from the side. The packed words had already been put out. The baggage was huge. Why? You might slap yourself in the face for a small service fee.
It is shameful to show off your wealth.
It is also shameful to be stingy.
"It's okay."
Jiang Chen said he didn't care, so he treated it as a tip. He came out to play and pursued emotional value.
It is rare to see materials worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time in this market, so most people only spend a few hundred to try their luck.
Everyone around him became interested. They crowded around each other and watched eagerly. They seemed even more excited than Jiang Chen.
Get on the scale first.
The total of several rough stones is about 26 kilograms.
Including service fees, it’s almost 270,000 RMB.
Jiang Chen quickly swiped his card without batting an eyelid.
The people around him are becoming more and more enthusiastic. The people who are messing around here looking for gold are more discerning than the others. It is impossible to tell that this is a real rich man.
After confirming that the money had arrived, the stall owner couldn't help but smile. This was definitely a big order that would not happen often. Under the influence of money, his attitude became more attentive and he handed over a few yuan. The raw materials are moved to the cutting machine.
"Boss, do you cut it yourself or should I do it?"
"You do it."
Pei Yunxi definitely doesn't know how to use a cutting machine, and it's dangerous.
Betting on stones does not require hands-on operation. The most exciting thing is the moment when the result is revealed.
With everyone looking forward to it, the stall owner started with the smallest ingredients.
"Buzz..."
The cutting machine started.
With a harsh friction sound, the sharp slices split the five or six kilograms of rough stone. When the rough stone split into two halves, a sigh sounded.
"Oh, Bai, what a big loss."
The cutting machine stopped.
The result of the first piece of raw material was unsatisfactory, or very unsatisfactory. Not to mention the imperial green, the color was dull and rubbish and no one wanted it as leftovers.
There is no doubt that it is equivalent to announcing that tens of thousands of dollars have been wasted.
But gambling on stones, the essence is the word gambling.
The first cut produced a rare treasure. Why should I write a script novel?
Jiang Chen didn't care, and neither did Pei Yunxi.
“Continue.”
The stall owner continued to turn on the cutting machine.
Second piece.
The third piece.
Gambling is indeed risky, and the risks often far outweigh the benefits. Although these stall owners said they had the best raw materials, they still sold some things, but they were definitely not enough to cover the cost, let alone the use. It's embarrassing to make gifts for elders.
"It seems that your luck is not very good today."
He knows how to blame others.
Seeing that the result was unsatisfactory, Jiang Chen immediately put the responsibility on Pei Yunxi.
But the key is whether the other party should take the blame.
Who packed these materials together?
And is it a matter of luck?
In the final analysis, luck is an event of extremely small probability. After opening a few stones, you will start to complain, are you here to gamble or to pick up money?
Thanks to the business he was involved in, including casinos and hotels, he had no determination at all. In contrast, Pei Yunxi was quite calm, looking at the last rough stone that was about to be cut.
That’s right.
The last piece is left.
It is also the largest, heaviest and most expensive piece, weighing over ten kilograms.
There is still the possibility of a comeback.
The last piece of raw material is undoubtedly the most anticipated highlight. The surrounding audience subconsciously held their breath and stared intently at the cutting machine as it began to rotate violently and slowly descended under the operation of the stall owner.
“呲……”
The sharp sound was like thousands of sharp knives stinging everyone's eardrums, but no one was distracted, nervously and eagerly waiting for the result.
“Alas!!!”
The familiar sighs sounded again and again.
The last piece of rough stone cracked, and a quick look at the gray color inside revealed that it was another waste product.
“What a shame.”
People around him felt worthless for Jiang Chen. Of course, there was also a lot of gloating about his misfortune.
For 270,000 yuan, I really bought a bunch of broken rocks. I can’t say that I lost everything, I can only say that I lost everything.
Luck will not favor one person all the time.
For big people, losing money is not important, it is harmless, the important thing is face.
How can I keep my face after spending money to buy a pile of garbage?
Boss Jiang naturally knew that it was definitely not Pei Yunxi's responsibility.
“Didn’t you say this is the best material for your stall?”
He asked the stall owner.
Of course the stall owner knew what he meant. His face was stern and even more ferocious, "No matter how good the materials are, there is no guarantee that the product will be good. All stalls are the same."
This explanation is reasonable.
Acceptable.
Blind box.
Be willing to admit defeat.
Boss Jiang has never been a messy person, "Do you have any good ingredients here?"
Hearing this, the surrounding area exploded with people whispering and discussing.
Up.
Definitely on top.
Just like a gambler losing a red eye, it is human nature and not surprising, but few people play such a big game in this market.
“These are the best ingredients.”
The stall owner pointed to a pile of garbage on the ground, “If you still want to open it, I can go to other stalls to prepare it.”
< br>Jiang Chen nodded and glanced at the jade sales area, "Bring all the best materials here."
There was a silent thunder.
The onlookers wondered if they had heard wrongly.
Are you going to buy all the good stuff in the entire market? !
Is this a gamble on your fortune?
The stall owner must have encountered such a person for the first time. He was shocked and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"All the good materials? Are you sure?"
Jiang Chen was calm and calm, "Hurry up."
If Boss Jiang hadn't already proved it with a pile of rubbish With his strength, he would definitely be considered to be joking and bragging.
Although this stall owner does not look very friendly, he is really a businessman. While everyone was still stunned by Boss Jiang's generosity, he quickly reacted.
I don’t know whether Boss Jiang and “Mrs. Jiang” are lucky today, but this stall owner must have had great luck today. The wealth and wealth from the sky hit him on the head.
Although his good ingredients are sold out, when he encounters such a customer, he can collect "introduction fees" from other stall owners!
Someone wants to buy all the good stuff in one go.
The news spread quickly.
The whole market was buzzing with excitement.
The stall owners were excited to move their goodies here piece by piece, and more and more people gathered to watch. Soon there were three floors inside and three outside, and it was blocked.
The four guards performed their duties faithfully, firmly protecting Jiang Chen and the two of them, and using their strong bodies to separate the others.
Get on the scale.
Pay the money.
The cutting machine starts.
The people on the periphery couldn't really see it, so they all found ways to find cushions and stand on it.
I don’t know about other places in Myanmar, but this is definitely an unprecedented gambling in Kaluzi, and it may not be the same again.
The good materials from all the stalls are piled up together, and the total price must have exceeded tens of millions.
For the jade enthusiasts who are watching, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime carnival, and for the buyers, this is a crazy gamble.
Jiang Chen is like a gambler who loses his mind. Pei Yunxi, who does not need to pay out of his own pocket, should be able to stay sober and calm, but in fact she failed to persuade him.
With her character, she would definitely not interfere in other people's decisions unless it was her lover, or relatives.
What does Boss Jiang’s famous saying mean?
——Don’t impose values, don’t interfere with others...
The entire jade market has been paralyzed.
Under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes, pieces of valuable raw materials were cut open one after another.
It’s crazy.
Enjoyed it too.
Of course, this is for the audience, who can enjoy the excitement of blood and heartbeat without spending any money.
As for Boss Jiang’s mood, that’s not known. At least on the surface, he is as stable as a mountain, showing no sadness or joy.
There is a term in economics called sunk cost.
It means that there is no need to invest more for irreparable losses, which will only make the losses continue to expand.
It's like watching a boring movie. A few minutes into the movie, you'll notice that it's shoddy and very awkward. But because you bought the ticket, you didn't want to lose money in vain, so you forced yourself to stay.
What’s the result?
It did not recover any losses. On the contrary, it forced myself to endure the torture for two more hours, wasting precious time.
This effect also applies to the gambling industry.
How many gamblers start gambling on their wealth? It's not that I fell into trouble step by step, trying to win back the money I lost earlier, but ended up burdened with sunk costs and fell into an endless abyss.
As a top student who graduated in economics, Boss Jiang seems to have made the same mistake at this time. The price of the raw materials for cutting has reached one million. As a result, the value of the products may be less than ten thousand, including the payment for services. The fees are not enough.
"If you just throw money away, you can get a little gratitude."
In the noisy environment, the ethereal voice next to him still clearly reached Jiang Chen's ears.
"Why are you throwing money away? I'm not a philanthropist."
Jiang Chen was calm and confident at the same time.
"What's the difference between this and throwing away money?"
It's not difficult to tell that Pei Yunxi's mentality is more pessimistic, or more pragmatic.
And the facts are here.
The pitifully low return rate makes it difficult to believe that these are really top-notch materials.
In other words, this is what the jade industry is all about.
It’s just luck.
“Spending money is the real waste of money. At least we still have something to gain now.”
Harvest?
You mean those broken rocks piled up in a pile?
I have to admit that Boss Jiang does have a strong mentality. An ordinary person would definitely want to throw these stones at him now.
"Will you still take these things away?"
Pei Yunxi still understands him quite well.
Garbage worth tens of thousands of pieces is not worth the hard work of hauling it.
"There are still so many ingredients that haven't been opened, why are you in such a hurry."
Jiang Chen is calm and calm, focusing on a mature and steady person, or to be more precise, positive and optimistic.
"This should be a black market. Even if you buy all the raw materials, you may not be able to sell good products."
Pei Yunxi hit the nail on the head.
What hatches from duck eggs can only be ducks, not swans.
Do you really think you can find gold while walking on the beach?
Of course.
The probability of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan is not impossible, but it is too low, as low as a fairy tale.
What you opened is a blind box, but others opened it with their eyes open.
It is true that the eyes cannot penetrate the surface to see what is inside the raw materials, but how advanced is the technology now?
There are countless auxiliary means.
For example, X-ray.
However, there will be times when technological methods make mistakes. Speaking of which, it is still a matter of probability and luck.
“Even if this is a black market, it can’t be foolproof.”
Jiang Chen still maintains confidence and is not discouraged.
As he spoke, another one or two hundred thousand was crushed under the sharp cutting machine.
"I don't think your luck is very good today."
Pei Yunxi replied.
"Liu Li told me that people's luck can be changed by physical means."
Pei Yunxi's eyes fluctuated and he couldn't help but tilt his head.
She now knows that the person is not only beautiful in appearance, but also highly skilled in martial arts, and she is also a Taoist nun.
Under normal circumstances, people still maintain a sense of respect for a sect like Taoism.
Pei Yunxi is also a normal person, so he became curious.
“How to change it?”
Jiang Chen did not care about himself and shared generously: “Luck is like a fraction. The denominator cannot be adjusted manually, but the numerator can be increased. Five pieces of material If it doesn’t work, then give it ten yuan. If ten yuan doesn’t work, then give it twenty... If the numerator is large enough, the probability will increase significantly and your luck will improve.”
Pei Yunxi asked the question seriously, but fell silent after listening.
She was the only one who was silent.
No swearing.
I talked about it all in a mess, but in the final analysis, isn’t it all about money making ability?
It’s like a casino betting big and small every time. Everyone knows that there will definitely be a chance of success, but what about the cost?
If you want to recover your capital, the cost of each bet must be doubled. The further you go, the larger the funds required.
Many people just don’t persist until the moment they open a small business and they go bankrupt.
Of course.
The issue of chip thickness should not be a problem for Boss Jiang, but how can there be such a way to play gambling?
“If nothing can be produced here, do we have to buy all the raw materials in the city?”
"Can you stop crow's mouth?"
Jiang Chen said as if teaching: "Even if the reality is bleak, don't fall into pessimism. Science has proven that this world is conscious. What do you think it looks like? It will look like that, so you have to believe in the power of belief.”
It should not just be influenced by having a Taoist nun in the family.
This is just a bit insane.
Under the tight mask, Pei Yunxi just pursed his lower lip, but after this brief pause, he only heard huge exclamations from around him.
"Emperor Green! Imperial Green is out!"
"No, it's not Imperial Green, it seems to be Dragon Stone!"
Pei Yunxi was distracted and turned around slowly head. (End of this chapter)
