At this time, Liu Sizhe asked: "Can everyone participate in the competition?" Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and said: "Of course not. Contestants must be recommended by members of the local Jade Association. The recommender must be recommended before the competition. He still has to hand over 500,000 yuan in bets, and the 500,000 yuan must be his own funds. " Qiang Zhaojun continued: "Of course there are loopholes in this. Even if there is a violation, it is difficult to verify, but once it is done, it will be difficult to verify. But it turns out that the punishment is quite serious, and few people would take the risk. Besides, there is no benefit in doing so. " "If I am not wrong, these bets should also belong to the recommenders of the winning party, right? "Liu Sizhe thought about it for a moment and decided on the role of setting up the bet. "That's for sure, otherwise it wouldn't be called gambling money." Qiang Zhaojun said with a smile: "But part of the gambling money must be used to pay for the second round of raw materials. Of course, the raw material money is not required either. No matter how much, one million is definitely more than enough. " "Actually, the money is second to none. Not only do I have one of the best businesses in the local area, there are really not many businesses that are bigger than me. This kind of competition has been held three times so far, and none of the players I recommended have made it to the second round. If it happens again this time, I will be completely embarrassed. "Some friends may say that it is too strong. Zhao Jun is too pedantic to choose a piece of wool that has been checked at all levels. Will he still be eliminated in the first round? It is okay to do this, but in fact, Qiang Zhaojun disdains it and does not allow him to do it. Not to mention that there are relevant punitive measures in the rules. If this matter spreads, it will definitely be a huge blow to his reputation. Influence. At that time, how many people will be willing to deal with a dishonest person? The losses caused by this are quite huge. And how could Qiang Zhaojun do such a thing for the sake of face? "This" Chu Chen scratched his head and said: "Brother Qiang, you also know that there is no guarantee when it comes to gambling on stones. I can only say that I will try my best. I don't dare to make it past the second round. Guaranteed." "In fact, with the abilities he possesses, let alone pass the first round, even if he gets first place, it will be no problem, but in front of everyone. Of course, he couldn't speak so fully, otherwise others would either think there was something wrong with his mind, or they would notice something weird about him. "It's okay!" Qiang Zhaojun waved his hand and said: "You can play with peace of mind. No matter what the result is, I won't blame you. Of course, if you can make it to the second round. Then the jade carving master's settlement fee in the capital It¡¯s just me. If you can win the final victory, then I will try my best to help you arrange for the best jade carving master.¡± The reward given by Qiang Zhaojun is not high. As mentioned before, a man with superb skills and talents will do his best. A jade carving master with development potential is already quite valuable to a jade processing factory, let alone one who is the best among them. But the reason why Qiang Zhaojun offered such conditions. I also felt that it would be difficult for Chu Chen to achieve the final victory. Although he learned about Chu Chen's record from Yi Hongguo, considering his stone gambling career, this achievement was nothing. He had seen young people who were more powerful than Chu Chen, but that person Later, he got unlucky and lost continuously in gambling, and finally disappeared into the vast sea of ??people. Based on Qiang Zhaojun¡¯s experience, there are indeed too many uncertain factors in stone gambling, but to say that three points of skill and seven points of luck are just words. The real situation should be 70% skill and 30% luck. Although luck can lead to better results than skill for a while, in the long run, skill is more important. Like the Jade King. He is over seventy years old, and his gambling rate has always been at a high level during this period. Has his luck been so good these years? Unless he is a god, think about it and know that this is impossible. Therefore, Qiang Zhaojun believes that for now, Chu Chen's record does not explain much. It may be that Chu Chen is lucky, or it may be that Chu Chen's stone gambling skills are superb. No matter what the situation is, it is worth inviting Chu Chen to participate in the competition. Of course, if Chu Chen's luck suddenly fails, it will only be considered bad luck for him. However, even if Chu Chen¡¯s stone betting skills were superb, Qiang Zhaojun still believed that Chu Chen¡¯s chances of winning the championship were slim. Because he knew in advance that three of the contestants participating this time were undisputed rookies in the local stone gambling industry. No matter which one of these three had a record, they were no worse than Chu Chen. And they are all recognized by everyone through years of accumulation, unlike Chu Chen who suddenly emerged. The key is that one of them is a close disciple of the Jade King. What kind of person the Jade King is, and the people who can be accepted as a closed disciple by him are certainly not simple. And this person does have a strong talent in stone gambling. In the first battle of his debut, he opened three pieces of old pit glass in one day.?. You must know that this is the old pit glass species! In addition to the top-grade jadeite that is rare for ordinary people to see, such as the imperial green, the Laokeng glass type is the most precious, and he actually sold three pieces in one day! This shocked everyone and they couldn¡¯t help shouting ¡°Wolf is coming¡±! Later, with his extremely shocking record, this man was not only recognized by everyone, but also called the next generation of "Emerald King". Since there is such a person participating in the competition, it is not surprising that Qiang Zhaojun thinks it will be difficult for Chu Chen to win the championship. Of course, if Chu Chen really wins the championship, Qiang Zhaojun will not regret the conditions he set. joke! Being able to deal with someone who defeated the future Emerald King was such a huge good thing. How could he regret it? Chu Chen was very happy about the conditions offered by Qiang Zhaojun. Although he felt that it was a bit shameless to use super powers to win the final championship, but those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. At this time, he really couldn't care about those things. After that, Chu Chen asked some more details of the competition. However, when Qiang Zhaojun said that there were disciples of the Jade King participating, Yi Hongguo and An Yongqing both performed the same as Qiang Zhaojun, thinking that Chu Chen had a very good chance of winning the championship. Slim. As for Liu Sizhe, he supported Chu Chen unconditionally. He believed that with Chu Chen's stone gambling skills, let alone the disciples of the Jade King, even if the Jade King came, they would have no choice but to be defeated. As for Hu Yong, he only cares about Chu Chen's safety. He won't care about any competitions or anything like that. Because they had to choose wool materials for the competition tomorrow, it was almost time, so Qiang Zhaojun said goodbye and left, while Chu Chen and his party returned to the hotel where they were staying, preparing for Chu Chen to rest early and recharge his batteries. . But as soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, Chu Chen accidentally bumped into the pig-like Zhang Yanbin. Opposite him, there was a pretty girl sitting, but looking at the girl's disgusted expression, Zhang Yanbin probably hit a wall. . Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself. This guy has been bragging on the Internet about how good he is at picking up girls. He can pick up girls he likes in minutes. He picks up as many as eight hundred girls, if not a thousand. It seems that in reality, That¡¯s all! So Chu Chen said hello to everyone and walked towards Zhang Yanbin, but he only walked halfway when he saw Zhang Yanbin winking at him frequently, telling him not to go there. This made Chu Chen feel a little strange, but after a while, a text message was sent. When he opened it, he saw that it was from Zhang Yanbin. It said "What's the room number? I'll call you soon." So Chu Chen sent the room number via text message, and then walked quickly to the elevator. "Why are you back again?" Yi Hongguo asked. "I guess he doesn't want me to disturb him in picking up girls." Chu Chen replied with a smile. "It's me. I don't want you to sit next to me when I'm trying to pick up girls, otherwise all the girls' eyes will be on you." Liu Sizhe laughed playfully. Chu Chen was speechless when he heard the words: "According to what you said, it's all my fault if you can't pick up girls in the future?" Liu Sizhe chuckled and said, "That's impossible, because when a girl sees you, she will only care about you. How do you take care of your skin? As for finding you as a boyfriend, unless the other person has very strong nerves, he or she will not be able to bear it for a long time if you have better skin than a woman every day. Just based on this, I am very worried. I really admire my sister-in-law." Chu Chen walked into the elevator and said, "You are like a dog who can't spit out ivory, but your sister-in-law will definitely not have such troubles. I can take care of her skin by then. "Like me." "Isn't it?" Liu Sizhe said a little dumbfounded: "You mean, you really have a way to make your skin as good as yours?" "It's not possible now!" Chu Chen shook his head and said. It needs to be tested successfully before it can be applied. "Liu Sizhe was confused when he heard this: "Test? Is it a new product invented by a company? Why haven't I heard that the company has developed such a powerful product?" "Of course it was not developed by the company? The product is a recipe passed down from my family¡¯s family,¡± Chu Chen said with a smile. "Your family?" Liu Sizhe was a little confused. If the Chu family had such a recipe, it should have been put into production long ago. But he immediately realized that Chu Chen should be talking about his adoptive father's family. "Brother Chu, since there is such a good recipe, why don't you put it into production quickly? This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money!" Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "I didn't know there was such a recipe in it before. Prescription, but it¡¯s not easy to put it into production. This thing is for consumption and has not been tested. I don¡¯t know if it has any toxic or side effects. Moreover, the cost of traditional Chinese medicine materials alone for one course of treatment costs 500,000 yuan. If my skin needs to be damaged, In this way, at least ten courses of treatment are required, which is still??Is it possible for ordinary people to use the conclusions drawn from the speculation? " Of course, what Chu Chen didn't say is that if he uses acupuncture, the amount of medicinal materials used can be reduced by two-thirds. However, some of the acupuncture areas are very private parts, so acupuncture is a bit inconvenient, even if the other party does not I care, Chu Chen still cares.
