Replicating genes begins with American comics

Every year, there are many newcomers to the jade industry, dreaming of making a fortune and dreaming of getting rich overnight by gambling on stones. However, most of these people fail and only know the secrets of the jade industry after paying a large amount of tuition. How deep is the water.

The fat boss Zhuo Hai who was leading the way in front of Meng Yu was one of those newcomers many years ago. In the past few decades, he has worked hard in the jade industry before he opened such a jade store. He is well aware of the dangers of stone gambling in this industry, and he daydreams about these things just like he once did. He was familiar with but disdainful of the young people, and at the same time he was not stingy about teaching them a lesson.

After passing through a shop full of jade products for sale, the three of them came to a small courtyard where a large number of rough stones were piled. In addition to the mountain of rough stones, there were two apprentices working on a stone cutting machine in the small courtyard.

The fat boss stopped and shouted from a distance, and an apprentice trotted over.

"This little brother is new here and wants to buy two rough stones. Xiaofan, please accompany this little brother around the courtyard and help him pick two pieces. You all know the price."

After explaining a few words to the young apprentice named Xiaofan who ran over, the fat boss ignored Meng Yu and turned back to the store, probably to go to the baby's big rock again.

The rough stone, which is as tall as a person, must have cost a lot of money to buy! It's a pity that there are only two pieces of jade the size of fists inside, which is a shame!

When he got close to the stone, Meng Yu took the opportunity to smell it and already knew the quality of the jadeite in the rough stone. At this moment, looking at the hurried back of the fat man, he couldn't help but want to snicker.

No, we must find a way to get him to cut the rough stone in a while. How can we miss such a scene that makes people gloat.

Keeping this in mind, Meng Yu turned around and followed the apprentice to a pile of raw jade stones in the corner.

"These are a batch of stones that the master collected while attending an event in Yunnan some time ago. They have just been shipped to the store in the past two days and have not been picked up twice. The quality is better than those that have been piled up for the past two or three years. The one who has been picked on countless times is much higher.”

The young apprentice said as he picked the pile of rough stones in the center of the yard with his chin.

Meng Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without further delay, Meng Yu immediately squatted down and began to search for the hidden boss in the pile of rough stones.

He grabbed a piece of rough stone and brought it to his face, pretending to look at the stone carefully, but in fact Meng Yu could see clearly. He was just turning his back to the apprentice and waving his nose, simply smelling the smell of the stone. Besides, that’s not how the rough stone looks.

The copyist leaned against the wall on one side. The young apprentice looked at Meng Yu who was squatting on the ground in confusion, thinking, don't you use tools?

Generally, a strong yellow light flashlight is used to view raw jadeite. This color of strong light flashlight has strong penetrating power and can better check the quality of jadeite under the stone skin. For real stone gambling experts, the stone gambling process A medium-to-high-intensity flashlight is indispensable, and the Mengyu in front of the young apprentice... well, regardless of Mengyu's level of stone gambling, just talking about his mental state, it is not normal in the eyes of the apprentice.

It's okay to see rough stones with the naked eye. After all, those master-level figures can indeed see something with their profound experience, but what do you mean by saying that you can get a rough stone in ten seconds? Are you looking at the original stone or scanning the original stone?

Seeing Meng Yu's frequent movements of his arms, the young apprentice curled his lips. He had secretly equated Meng Yu with the idiot who wanted to get rich and went crazy, and gave up his original idea of ​​learning.

"It's better to do the odd jobs assigned by the master!"

After muttering something, the apprentice leaned against the wall without interest, closed his eyes, and basked in the sun.

Anyway, I am wearing shorts and T-shirts this summer, so I am not afraid of the other party stealing them. I can just let the other party choose slowly, and I will pretend to be lazy.

Thinking like this, the little apprentice's consciousness gradually became blurred in the warm sunshine, and he fell asleep leaning against the wall not long after. When he woke up again, it was more than an hour later.

"Hey, wake up, your forehead is almost burnt from the sun!"

After rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes, the young apprentice saw Meng Yu's face in his sight and found that the other party was patting his arm.

"Hey, how much are these dollars?"

Yawning, after hearing Meng Yu's words, he noticed that there were four or five rough stones placed in Meng Yu's footsteps.

The young apprentice knelt down, reached out and turned over some rough stones to look at them. He frowned and shook his head. He looked at Mengyu with a strange expression and asked:

"Are you sure you want these pieces?"

Meng Yu nodded and asked:

"What's the problem?"

The young apprentice was stunned by his rhetorical question. He twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile and replied:

"No... no problem."

As he said this, the young apprentice didn't think so in his heart.

no problem? It's weird if there's no problem.

Let’s not talk about other aspects. Just judging from the size of these three rough stones, they are the smaller ones among the rough stones. They are all less than the length and width of a fist. In addition, two of the three rough stones are hooded stones. The so-called hooded stones are rough stones with no traces of jade inside. The reason for the lack of traces is the skin on their surfaces. It's too thick, and the two hooded stones are less than the size of a fist. Once the thick skin is removed, even if there is jade inside, it won't be too big to sell for a high price.

The remaining piece has a green oily scratch (make a small cut on the surface of the rough stone to check the quality of the rough stone inside.). As we all know, the brighter the color of jade, the higher its value. The piece Meng Yu picked out was like an ostrich running in the desert with its bellyband covered. It was too conspicuous, and it was too unreasonable to lie here.

In the six months since this rough green stone has been lying here, it has passed through the hands of at least a dozen people in the jade industry, including my own master, but it is still abandoned here without anyone caring about it. This is enough to explain one thing. This is a fake stone. The unscrupulous merchant who originally mined this stone deliberately colored its openings, but... the color was a bit too much.

Two hooded stones with little hope and a fake original stone are of course very problematic. Even a young apprentice, a newcomer who has just started, can distinguish these, but Mengyu is still asking with a shy face. "Is there a problem?"

Oh, no problem, the three pieces are all high-end goods! Since it is a high-end product, the price cannot be lower, right?

"These two black ones are very ordinary, but you can see this one. Don't say I'm fooling you. Look at this color, it's rare!"

As the young apprentice said, Meng Yu began to feel nervous. He was very puzzled when he found the rough stone just now. Jadeite had already leaked out of the stone, but no one paid attention to it. He thought he had smelled it wrong. I even secretly checked the genetic simulator before finally confirming it.

He thought that maybe there were too many rocks here and no one had noticed them, so he picked them up. Therefore, when I finally chose this stone, I was worried about being discovered and hesitated for a long time. Unexpectedly, I was recognized by the young apprentice in the end.

After swallowing, Meng Yu asked carefully:

"So, how much does it cost?"

After Meng Yu asked, the young apprentice imitated his master and pretended to be embarrassed, and said as if he had made a huge sacrifice:

"Oh, originally this stone shouldn't have such a low price, but it's your first time here, so I'll give you a discount, just...just five thousand!"

Originally, Mengyu was ready to exchange for another rough stone that was more "low-key". After hearing the price quoted by the young apprentice, he couldn't help but froze on the spot and shouted in surprise:

"How much? Five thousand?"

Meng Yu thought that although this rough stone was a bit smaller, its color was comparable to the two million-dollar pieces of jade sold in the center of the counter in the store in front of him. It would be worth at least hundreds of thousands if it was completely polished. , I’m afraid this little apprentice will be a lion, but he didn’t expect...it only costs yuan? This apprentice... couldn't be a spy sent by another jade shop, right? Wasn't this intentional to make his master pay compensation?

Meng Yu thought about the drama of master-disciple antagonism, and was in a trance for a moment.

His contemplative look, coupled with his surprised tone, seemed to the young apprentice to be hesitant because the price was too high. The young apprentice felt nervous, thinking about such a duck with no IQ. But we can't just let him fly like this.

"Ahem...if you think it's too expensive, the price can still be negotiated. These two pieces of head covering...these two rough stones will be given to you, and then I will reduce the price by another thousand yuan. This is already mine. This is the limit of what you can do, if you go any lower, master will scold me later!"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Yu suddenly raised his head, grabbed the young apprentice's arm, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away, and said without hesitation:

"Pay! Where to pay? WeChat or Alipay?"

The young apprentice was a little confused by Meng Yu's three consecutive attacks.

Um...if I read correctly, the other party is excited? Are you excited? Okay, you are awesome, since you are so anxious to send money, if you don’t do it, I will be cruel to you!

After bringing Meng Yu and the little guy to the front desk, Meng Yu scanned the code impatiently and let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly he remembered something again, turned to look at the young apprentice and said:

"How about we make a written statement!"

The young apprentice was a little hesitant, not because of anything else, but just because it was troublesome. After all, private stone gambling like this would not sign a contract. At most, it would only create a written document, and it would only be done for a transaction of more than hundreds of thousands.

After looking at his master who was studying the rough stone and seeing him nodding, the young apprentice impatiently agreed to Meng Yu's request.

After writing the two receipts, the two signed each other's signatures. Meng Yu put the receipts away with a satisfied look on his face, but the young apprentice threw the receipts into the trash can behind him while he was not paying attention.

"Okay, we're done. Now we just have to open the stones! Brother, help me open these three rough stones. The cut parts will be given to you later. How about that?"

The young apprentice twitched his lips and almost stopped laughing.

"No, no, no, cutting stones is also part of the stone gambling process. We will do it for you for free. As for the scraps, hehe, you should keep it for yourself!"

The little apprentice finished speaking with a bit of disdain, turned around and walked towards the backyard. What he didn't know was that ten minutes later, because of his decisive refusal at this time, he almost regretted it so much that he even ate the stone material he drove down. Go down.
