Chapter 96
It was 9 . 20 am . Dong Xuebing took out his sling bag, which contains 110,000 RMB from the sales of the antique books, from his closet . After that, he went to the ICBC bank across the road from his house . This was a small branch, and one-day notification was needed for withdrawals more than 50,000 RMB . Dong Xuebing, who had wanted to withdraw 100,000 RMB from his account, was lazy to go to another branch . So, he only withdraws 50,000 RMB . 160,000 RMB should be enough . He pulled up the collar of his jacket and walk out to the streets to flag a taxi . He went straight to the stores outside of Panjiayuan . Many stores were selling raw stones there .
“Boss, do you have any unprocessed jade stones?”
“No . We only sell finished products here . You can try other shops . ”
“Excuse me, can I gamble stones or jade here?”
“Oh, we do not have these . ”
“Do you know where I can gamble stones?”
“Stone gambling? There is not a lot of such places in Panjiayuan . If you are interested, you can go to the Haidian or Chaoyang districts . Every weekend, there are auctions for unprocessed stones . The prices are reasonable, and the quality of the stones are higher . ” Dong Xuebing also know about the auctions in Haidian’s antique market . But the procedures there was to pay for the stones first before cutting . It takes too much time . His 6 minutes was not enough to even bid for the stones . This was why Dong Xuebing was targeting those smaller shops .
Dong Xuebing carries on walking around Panjiayuan .
Suddenly, there were sounds of a stone cutting machine from a distance .
Dong Xuebing’s eyes widen . When he was working part-time in the past, he had seen people gambling stones . This was why he was familiar with this sound . He raised his head and walked towards the direction of the sound . But when Dong Xuebing reaches the shop, he saw a man using the stone cutter to cut a stone . It was not a jade stone . From the color and shape of the stone, it should be uncut crystal stones . Natural crystals . Crystal gambling? This was rare . Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while and then entered the shop . Crystal gambling, Agate gambling, turquoise gambling, Nephrite jade gambling, and jade stone gambling, can all be considered stone gambling . Dong Xuebing does not need to specifically to look for jade stones or Nephrite jade stones . The returns for crystal gambling was high too .
The cutter machine stopped, and a small window was cut out of the natural purple crystal stone .
The buyers were a young couple, and the girl asked . “Is this crystal good? How much can it sells?”
“The color inside is ordinary . ” The overweight boss put down the cutting machine and take a closer look at the stone . “It’s worth 800 to 1,000 RMB . ”
“We bought it for 5000 RMB, and we can only sell it for 1,000 RMB?” The woman heard the boss and gave her boyfriend a slap angrily . “I told you not to buy it, and you insist . See, we lost!” Only 1 out of 10 wins in stone gambling . Although the risk for crystal stone gambling was not as high as jade stone gambling, it’s almost the same . It’s normal to pick worthless stones . If anyone could find an unprocessed stone worth tens of thousand RMB with 5,000 RMB, it will be abnormal . Furthermore, Beijing was not a place known for stone gamblings . All the unprocessed stones were brought in from other places and were the leftovers from the quarries . This increases the difficulties of winning in stone gambling .
