As soon as Pei Miao mentioned this, Ah Fa suddenly burst out laughing. After all, it was the brightest moment in Ah Fa's life so far, anyone could brag about it for a lifetime.

Ah Fa laughed heartily while driving, and after laughing for a long time, he said, "Low-key, low-key."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "To be honest, I think it's time for you to expand your courage and play with high-priced stones. Only better rough stones can cut out better emeralds."

Ah Fa said: "Okay, listen to you, then I will increase the psychological price...50."

Pei Miao said: "Damn, can you play a little bit bigger and just play with 300 million stones. The company has plenty of money. You are afraid of wool. If you lose the bet, you won't be allowed to pay."

"No, no, no..." Ah Fa shook his head again and again, "If the company has money, we can't use the company's money to take risks. Our company is now in a stage of rapid development, and if we have money, we need to spend it on the handle... Ah, I'm wrong, yes Money should be used wisely."

Pei Miao said: "In the current jadeite market, the raw material is the blade. All major jadeite companies are trying their best to obtain jadeite raw materials. We must not fall behind. Good stuff, you still have to get it. This is the company's decision. I know you are more focused. Once you study a certain academic subject, you can't see other things in your eyes. You don't want to ask about market research or anything. , it’s okay, aren’t we helping you make decisions, listen to me, you can’t go wrong.”

Ah Fa nodded as he listened. Although he seemed obstinate, he was not stupid. Pei Miao explained the relationship of interests to him so clearly, and he naturally understood. After Pei Miao finished speaking, Ah Fa said: "Okay, Now that you, the big director of the company, have spoken, then I will do my best to implement it and it will be over. From now on, I will play with stones within 300 million."

Pei Miao showed a teachable smile, and said: "That's right, first play for a month at the price of 300 million, if you can still maintain the state of betting up, then increase the price to 500 million until the price is flat So far, you have been cutting my materials for nearly three months, and among my materials, there are many high-end materials, I believe you already have enough experience and data in this area, and there will be no major problems."

Ah Fa thought for a while, and said: "Let's do this, anyway, there are still four days before the game, let's go out tomorrow to collect some good materials, I will practice my hands, and I will be at ease with you next to me."

"Okay, that's great." Pei Miao said happily, "I haven't touched gambling stones for a long time, and I happened to have a hand addiction before the game starts."

"Hey, I like to gamble with you the most." Ah Fa beamed with joy, "I have a sense of security to go out and kill people with the big boss."

"Damn, your metaphor..."

After driving for an hour, four and 10 minutes, I finally arrived at the collection point of their jewelry company in Ruili.

This is an ordinary street, and it doesn’t look very prosperous. The collection point is just a front shop, and the signboard hanging on it reads “Understanding Stone Jadeite Raw Materials”, with a line of small words “Jade Raw Stone Collection Point” on the bottom, and the phone number of the contact person behind is Afa number.

There is a large parking space outside the store. After the two parked their cars, they walked into the store. There was a young man in his early thirties at the front desk. He greeted them as soon as they met: "Hi Dong Pei, Mr. Xu."

"Hello, hello." Pei Miao greeted with a smile.

There are many employees in this store, all of them are young people in their twenties and thirties, six of them are men and one is a woman, and this woman is actually Ming Jia. To be a small cashier and accountant at the material receiving point, you don't need to think about it, it is the power of love.

The six male employees are all sent by the company from the raw material department. , the rules have been changed, all the rough stones will be unlocked here, and then shipped back to the head office, so the shipping cost saved is already considerable.

Of course, Pei Miao applied for this privilege for Ah Fa, so don't think about it for others.

The first thing to do after entering the receiving point is of course to show Pei Miao around. From the outside, this receiving point is just a facade, but it is actually very big inside.

The three storefronts are connected into one, and they are all on the upper and lower floors. The most important thing is that there is a small courtyard behind, and the three small courtyards are connected to form a large courtyard.

These three storefronts are not rented, but bought by the company. Anyway, the company has strong financial strength now, and the company has a long-term plan to receive materials in Ruili. It is nothing to buy a few storefronts. Maybe the store will increase in the future to a nice price yet.

Anti-theft nets and glass canopies are all installed above the yard. This huge yard is the place where the materials are collected and the rocks are decomposed. There are three chain saws and three water saws in the yard. When he is busy, Ah Fa has to Go out in person, cut stones with the staff, and even stay up late.

Hard work is hard work, but the employees are all happy, why, because they have excellent performance at the receiving point, and the bonus of each employee is directly doubled, full of motivation.

The dormitories, the kitchen and so on, are all on the second floor. There is also a dormitory on the first floor, but it is only a dormitory for night duty, with only two beds. Afa’s dormitory is next to her office. Lived with Afa.

The warehouse is on the second floor, and there is also a boutique warehouse. The boutique warehouse is in the middle of Afa's office. Only jadeite worth more than one million is eligible to be put in this warehouse.

Except for the tea room in the living room and the rest area on the first floor, all the rough stones are temporarily piled up.

It can be seen from the mental outlook of the employees that the employees here are very enthusiastic about their work and seem to like it very much. It is no wonder that Afa has a good personality and never criticizes the employees. He usually gets along with his colleagues like friends. Not putting on the airs of a leader, and the salary here is high, anyone would love this job.

After visiting the receiving point, Pei Miao felt that although the sparrow was small and well-equipped, this small receiving point was managed in an orderly manner under the management of Ah Fa. Of course, Ming Jia also contributed to this. Although everyone I am not afraid of Ah Fa, but I am quite in awe of Ming Jia. In fact, this is the best way. There must be someone who can control the situation, otherwise some people will cock their tails.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Ah Fa proposed to go to a restaurant to have a meal, as if it was a cleansing for Pei Miao, but Pei Miao waved his hand to veto it, and proposed to have a working meal with everyone.

Ah Fa knew that Pei Miao was not a fake courtesy, and there was no need to engage in such things between them, so he asked someone to cook.

The staff meals here are done in rotation, including sanitation, which is also a rotation system. Ming Jia even made a shift schedule and posted it on the wall.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Ah Fa took Pei Miao to the first floor to have a look at the recently collected rough stones.

The rough stone is 15 yuan in total, the largest is 38 kilograms, and the smallest is only two kilograms. The price range is from 80 to [-] yuan, which are not very good materials.

Pei Miao took a look at it in the Quan Shen Domain, only three pieces were broken, and the rest were for gambling price increases. The best piece could almost bet up 200 million yuan, which is quite good.

Soon it was time for dinner. During the meal, Pei Miao naturally asked about the situation of Ruili's gamblers. Even though Pei Miao was already an expert stone gambler, his understanding of Ruili's gamblers was almost zero. In the stone betting circle, he often heard people mention various public markets, but he rarely heard people mention the Ruili gambling market.

Ah Fa and a few employees told Pei Miao the general situation of Ruili's gambling market, and Pei Miao was very disappointed after hearing it.

It turns out that Ruili gambling has gone beyond the scope of stone gambling, so why do you say that.

If it is said that betting on stones on the public market is divided into half and half, then on the Ruili gambling market, betting on words accounts for at least 80%, and its mode is very similar to betting on horses, which is based on betting.

I heard from Afa and the others that on the Ruili gambling board, when betting on different stones, there are three options for betting, namely "betting color", "betting type" and "betting price".

If it is color gambling, then choose a stone and guess what color the jadeite cut from this stone is. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple can be chosen in various colors. Different colors have different odds, and the rarer the color , the higher the odds, such as the rare imperial green, the odds can be as high as twenty times.

The same is true for gambling, that is, choose a stone and guess the water of this stone. The odds of different seeds are naturally different. The odds of common seeds are relatively low, while the odds of relatively rare seeds are quite high. Such a rare species of water, the odds are as high as 20 times.

The betting price is to guess the price of the jade inside after the stone is cut. The options are generally price ranges. Different price ranges have different odds. This depends on the performance of the original stone. If the original stone itself is mediocre Yes, in such a high price range, the odds are naturally high, with the highest odds reaching more than 20 times.

It is precisely because of the high odds on the gamble that many people who are proficient in stone gambling come to participate in the Ruili gamble every year, hoping to get rich overnight here. The gambling nature contained in this is far beyond ordinary stone gambling. of.

After Pei Miao heard about the Ruili gambling, he was rather disappointed and didn't even plan to participate in the Ruili gambling. Although he was interested in betting on stones, he was not interested in pure gambling, and he was not a professional gambler.

But considering that I had come all the way here, how could I just take a trip in vain? After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Ruili Gambling Market to experience it. It should be an eye-opener.

After lunch, Ah Fa packed up a single dormitory for Pei Miao, let Pei Miao stay temporarily, and then took Pei Miao out to buy clothes, because Pei Miao didn't bring too much luggage or clothes when he came. How much, and the lowest temperature here is 12 degrees, and the highest temperature is a little over [-] degrees. It is suitable for wearing spring and autumn clothes. The clothes inside don't matter. The key is spring and autumn coats, and Pei Miao doesn't have one.

After going out for two hours, I bought a few sets of clothes and started working together. When I returned to the collection point, someone delivered the materials. Late on the plane did not rest well.

Maybe it was because he slept too much during the day, but at night, Pei Miao was refreshed and wanted to go out for a walk. Seeing that it wasn't too late, Ah Fa took him to a nearby material collection point.

When he turned two streets, Ah Fa suddenly pointed to a busy place in front of him, and said, "There is a collection point over there, which also belongs to a jewelry company in Jinling, and you know it well?"

Pei Miao thought for a while and asked, "Could it be Zhao's?"

Ah Fa clapped his hands and laughed, "Ha, you guessed right."

Pei Miao saw that the entrance of the receiving point was very busy, so she asked curiously, "What are so many people doing there?"

Ah Fa shook his head: "I don't know. Could it be that they also sell things at the receiving point?"

"Go, go and have a look." Pei Miao said, and walked straight over, followed by Ah Fa.

When I came to the collection point of Zhao's Jewelry, I saw a large stall at the entrance of Zhao's Jewelry. The stall was filled with rough jadeite stones of all sizes. Each rough stone had a label attached to it. price.

Next to it are two stone-dissolving machines, which are running and cutting stones.

Pei Miao looked at the prices marked on these stones and couldn't help cursing inwardly: "Profitable merchants, the marked prices of these rough stones are at least twice the market price."

Ah Fa was straightforward and said, "These stones are too expensive."

Soon, Pei Miao noticed the roll-up banner standing next to it. On the roll-up roll was written: "If you go up a bet, you pay one back. No kidding."

The following is a small text introduction.

After reading this text introduction, Pei Miao roughly understood what was going on. It turned out that Zhao's jewelry collection point was holding an event. This event was to buy the stones they had labeled at the price tag and cut them up on the spot. If the cutting price increases, their receiving point is willing to pay the other party a sum of money, which is equivalent to the value of the cut jadeite.

This activity sounds promising. Cutting the price is already a very happy thing, and the merchant can give an extra piece of happiness as a gift. Isn't that super double the happiness?

But if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will understand that the prices marked on these rough stones are at least double the market price. Under this premise, the probability of betting up will be greatly reduced. A 20 stone, after cutting it up slightly, and cut out 25 worth of emeralds, then Zhao only needs to pay 25 in compensation. The price was sold, and then the other party was compensated 10. Zhao lost 20.

It seems that the Zhao family is losing money, but in fact, after adding the probability of betting up, the Zhao family is making a steady profit.

Even if there are so many stone gamblers in Ruili, so what, the Zhao family has its own stone gamblers, and which of the stones here is not carefully selected by the stone gamblers? It is quite large, and coupled with the marked price doubling, it is not easy to bet on the increase.

Ah Fa had to admire Zhao's Jewelry's means of raising money. He could even come up with such a method. There is an endless stream of people.

At this time, Pei Miao inadvertently saw a familiar figure in the storefront of Zhao's material collection point, sitting there drinking tea and chatting with others, it turned out to be Zhao Qinglin.

Pei Miao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a wicked smile. It's really a narrow road. I didn't expect to meet Zhao Qinglin in Ruili. With such a great opportunity, it's simply unreasonable not to bleed Zhao Qinglin.
