    Liu Sizhe came back in time, allowing everyone to catch the five o'clock flight, so before seven o'clock in the evening, everyone set foot on the land of Lingnan.  This time, there was an old man in his fifties who accompanied the four of them to Yangmei. This man's name was An Yongqing. He was the stone gambling master that Yi Hongguo poached from other companies. I heard that this man was the highest gambling man.  Stone Records picked ten pieces of wool, which increased by six yuan, and one of them was glass.  With such a record, in the stone gambling circle, he is indeed called a stone gambling master.  The reason why Yi Hongguo took An Yongqing with him was because he wanted him to witness Chu Chen's ability to gamble with his own eyes, so that at the critical moment, the two would not have conflicts due to different opinions.  An Yongqing did not look down on Chu Chen because of his youth. After all, Yihongguo's business was so big that it was impossible to joke about it. However, he still didn't believe Chu Chen's record.  This is because An Yongqing learned from Yi Hongguo's story that Chu Chen's level has already caught up with the old man in Myanmar who is called the Jade King, while Chu Chen is only in his early twenties. This is really  It was hard for him to believe.  Although he knew that the Jade King's apprentice also had such a record, in his opinion, Chu Chen was definitely not as good as the Jade King's apprentice.  Yi Hongguo saw the disbelief in An Yongqing's eyes and didn't say much. There are some things where hearing is false and seeing is believing. As long as he witnessed it with his own eyes, he would know how powerful Chu Chen is.  Yi Hongguo called his friend before getting on the plane, so as soon as everyone walked out of the aisle, they saw the airport pick-up person holding a big sign, so everyone got in the car he drove and started to go to the airport.  Depart from destination.  Yangmei is a professional jade village integrating jade production, processing and trade.  It is known as the "hometown of gold and jade", but it is a village that does not produce jade.  There is the largest jade wholesale market in Lingnan, and it can also be said to be the largest jade wholesale market in the country.  Since 2000, the quantity and quality of jade produced and sold in Yangmei have surpassed that of Xiangjiang, making it the largest high-end jade distribution center in the world.  In this way, Jade has become synonymous with Yangmei in everyone's mouth.  Yangmei has a long history of manufacturing and selling jade. Since 1905, villagers have been engaged in jade processing, production and trade, which has a history of nearly a hundred years.  So far, there are more than 500 households in the village.  There are more than 400 large and small jade processing and trade companies, accounting for 80% of the total number of households in the village, and more than 1,500 people are professionally engaged in jade processing and trade.  In other words, almost all villagers are engaged in jade-related businesses.  Among them, some focus on the trade of finished jade products, and some focus on jade processing.  There are also many people who focus on the jadeite rough business, of course the stone gambling business is indispensable, and there are quite a few people involved in the stone gambling business.  Therefore, there is no shortage of fascinating and lamentable legendary stories here, such as getting rich overnight, or losing millions of dollars in one blow.  Yangmei, known as the Jade Capital.  It is undoubtedly a good place for jade collectors, and it is even more of a treasure trove for jade dealers.  As a large-scale professional high-end jade trading market, it not only has exquisitely carved and priceless jade ware, but also has a unique business operation model.  According to Yi Hongguo¡¯s introduction, Yangmei people have their own risk-avoiding practices for jade processing.  According to the consistent practice in the village, villagers implement joint-stock operations on the basis of voluntary combination, allocate risks and share profits.  When the jadeite wool is transported to the village, it will first be evaluated and analyzed by experienced appraisers.  After negotiating the price, the villagers who want to participate voluntarily form a partnership to become equity partners.  After the wool is untied, it is divided into pieces and made into finished jade products, which are sold in the market.  As a result, there are more and more jade processing factories and carving factories, and their development has become more mature.  When Chu Chen heard about this unique business operation model, he couldn't help but sigh.  With such business experience, it is reasonable for Yangmei to become the jade capital it is today.  When Chu Chen and the others got off the bus, Yang Mei gave them the most intuitive impression. This place did not look like a village, but like they were in a prosperous city. Moreover, there was a star-rated hotel in a village.  It was really hard for Chu Chen to imagine.  After getting off the bus, everyone put the salutes in the room prepared for them in advance. After settling in, everyone followed Yi Hongguo to the hotel they had made an appointment on the phone in advance.  After arriving there, Yi Hongguo introduced his friend to both parties. His name was Qiang Zhaojun, and he was also an old friend. From the appearance of Qiang Zhaojun, he looked more mature than Yi Hongguo.  Bigger.  According to what Yi Hongguo said before, Qiang Zhaojun's experience in stone gambling has been no less than fifteen years.  Everyone is coldXuan was polite for a while, and when the waiter served the food, Qiang Zhaojun persuaded him to drink wine enthusiastically and appropriately.  Of course, Hu Yong abided by his duties as a bodyguard and never drank. Qiang Zhaojun tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail. Later he gave up when he heard that this man was Chu Chen's bodyguard.  However, Qiang Zhaojun also knew that Chu Chen's identity was probably not that simple.  During the dinner, no one talked about the topic of stone gambling. In Qiang Zhaojun¡¯s words, eating is a time for the body and mind to rest, and it is best not to talk about official matters.  However, Qiang Zhaojun was very talkative and humorous, and he chatted with Yi Hongguo. There was constant laughter and laughter, and after eating a meal, the distance between everyone became much closer.  After the meal, Yi Hongguo asked with a smile: "Lao Qiang, how have you considered what I told you before?" "You guys, it's like I owe you something." Qiang Zhaojun laughed when he heard this.  "I don't have a problem with this, but the jade carving master must agree to it." Yi Hongguo heard the words and said with a smile: "Old Qiang, you are a bit naughty! We don't know the jade carving master in your factory, who  I know which technology is better. Since you agreed, just follow through and arrange everything for me. This is the first thing my junior brother asked me to do. If it fails, you will let me do it.  Where are you putting your face?" Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let me help you arrange it." Chu Chen also responded quickly, and picked up the teacup as soon as he finished speaking.  Said: "Brother Qiang, thank you so much. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." To be honest, a jade carving master with good skills and development potential is also very important to a jade processing factory.  , just give it to Chu Chen. If you say you don¡¯t feel bad, it must be a lie.  But who would let a friend of many years ask for help? You have to give your friend some face in this matter.  Therefore, Qiang Zhaojun naturally accepted Chu Chen's gratitude.  "There's no need to say thank you in this matter. It's just a matter of friends helping each other out! Brother Chu, I heard Lao Yi say before that you are very good at gambling on stones?" Chu Chen said modestly: "Haha, I can't even talk about how powerful you are.  It¡¯s just that I have some experience in betting on stones, and I¡¯m lucky.¡± Qiang Zhaojun smiled and said, ¡°Look, that¡¯s too modest. As the saying goes, betting on stones costs 30% experience and 70% luck. Luck is in our industry, of course.  It counts as part of the strength. I wonder if I can ask you for help. " "Brother Qiang, please tell me, if I can help, I'll be happy to help you," Chu Chen said solemnly.  .  Qiang Zhaojun said: "This matter, is it difficult to say or easy to say? It has something to do with a stone gambling activity tomorrow night." "Old Qiang, you don't mean to say that there will be a "one knife, a thousand pieces of gold" tomorrow, right?  ?" Yi Hongguo interjected.  "Yes." Qiang Zhaojun nodded.  "A thousand pieces of gold for one knife? What does this mean?" Everyone else present was very curious about this.  Yi Hongguo explained with a smile: "This event is held once a year, and the rules are very simple. Whoever chooses wool and gets a higher value of jade can win, and the winner can get the jade from all the contestants."  "Oh? Did you choose the raw material yourself, or was it provided by the organizer?" Liu Sizhe asked a key question.  ¡°There are both my own and those provided by the organizer.¡± Yi Hongguo replied.  "What do you mean? Isn't this unfair?" Chu Chen said with a frown.  "Haha!" Qiang Zhaojun explained with a smile: "Of course it's not unfair, because the competition has two rounds. In the first round, you compare the wool materials you brought, and then you cut the stones on the spot to determine the top six.  The winner goes to the second round. In this round, the contestants choose a piece from the wool provided by the organizer, and then cut the stone on the spot to determine the winner. "In this case, whose jadeite was drawn in the first round of the competition.  ?" "Not even one, these are all for the final winner." Liu Sizhe said in surprise: "Then the final winner will earn at least tens of millions?" "Of course.  Zhao Jun said: "The most I remember is a competition the year before last. The champion finally earned a full 270 million yuan!" "270 million!" This number really shocked everyone, even Qiang Zhao  Jun said it in an understatement, and they could fully imagine how thrilling and exciting the scene was.  It's no wonder that there are two games. If there is only one, it would be somewhat unfair.  After a while, Chu Chen then asked: "Brother Qiang, there should be other rules for this game, right? For example, there will be some restrictions on the wool materials for the first round, right?"   Qiang Zhaojun said: "Of course there are regulations. The weight of the wool in the first competition cannot be higher than ten kilograms, and it must be all wool. In addition, the age of the contestants must be no more than thirty years old, which is why I want to  The reason for asking for your help." Chu Chen nodded clearly. This is probably one of the reasons why there are two games in the game.
