C1 Gambling with The life

Do you know what gambling on jade is?

The so-called gambling on jade is to gamble with unpolished jade. Cut a piece of jadeite raw stone. If there is high-quality jadeite inside, you win the bet. If not, you lose!

Gambling on jade is an industry that can make you rich quickly, but the risk is also very high. The raw jadeite is sold at a high price, often hundreds of thousands, and sometimes hundreds of millions. Many people go bankrupt to gamble. If you win, your net worth will increase tenfold. If you lose, you have to queue up on the roof.

One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, and one cut makes you wear linen. This saying is about gambling on jade!

This is not a joke. I have experienced it myself. My father is an example, a bloody lesson.

My father is Zhao Zhong. He drives for a boss. He is a hardworking generation. His boss Zeng Fu likes gambling on jade. He is a very nice person. Once he was going to travel to Ruili and took our whole family with him. He said it was a public travel, which made our whole family very happy.

We were originally here for tourism, but Mr. Zeng said that if we didn't gamble on jade in Ruili, it was the same as not coming, so he took us to Jiegao Jade Gambling Street to gamble on jade.

My father also likes to gamble on jade, but he only studies it. He doesn't dare to gamble for real because he has no money!

Jiegao Street is a few kilometers long, and there are jade gambling shops everywhere. The dazzling array of goods makes you dazzled. Mr. Zeng went to a shop of an acquaintance. The owner was called Lao Niu. He asked Lao Niu to pick a stone for him. Lao Niu gave Mr. Zeng the stone he was going to cut.

My father saw the stone on the side and analyzed it with me. My father said that this stone is very gambleable, the species is good, the python belt is very strong, and the color is very likely to be eaten. If you go in, you will make money.

When gambling on jade, you first gamble on the species, and then the field. The field is the field where the jade raw stones are dug in Myanmar. The jade produced in each field is different, some are good and some are bad, so you have to choose the field. If you win the species and field, you will make a steady profit.

Boss Zeng bought the stone for 20,000 yuan, and the old cow accompanied Boss Zeng to cut the stone on the spot. The result of the cutting was full of green. No one could have expected this result. It was so popular at that time.

Full of green means that the stone is all green inside. The price skyrocketed. Someone offered 2 million yuan to buy it on the spot.

My father and I were watching from the side and we were so distressed. The 20,000 yuan stone rose to 2 million yuan. In addition to jealousy, we wished that the stone was ours.

Later, after a series of price increases and negotiations, the transaction was completed for 3 million yuan. Boss Zeng was so happy that he didn't expect money to be so easy to make.

This was not only unexpected by Boss Zeng, but also by my father and me. We saw 20,000 yuan turn into 3 million yuan with our own eyes. That kind of excitement tortured both of us to death.

After returning home, my father went crazy. He had to sell the house and go to Ruili to gamble. My mother was firmly against it, but I was very tempted, because Mr. Zeng, who knew nothing about gambling stones, could make three million by cutting a piece at random. It shouldn't be difficult for my father to make money after studying gambling stones for more than ten years, so I supported my father.

So we sold and mortgaged the house and went to Ruili despite the opposition of the whole family. My father and I went with 100% confidence. When we arrived in Ruili, we still went to the store that Mr. Zeng took us to.

The old cow recognized us. He knew that we were friends of Mr. Zeng and wanted to recommend a rough stone to us.

My father agreed immediately, because this old cow recommended a stone to Mr. Zeng last time and sold it for three million at once, so my father believed him.

The old cow took a stone out of the safe and put it on the table. My father and I looked at it. The skin was black and shiny. I knew it was black Wusha at a glance.

Black Wusha gambling stone is the raw material with the largest output, the strongest gambling and the most variables in the Burmese jade mine. It is called the raw stone of "nine out of ten gambling failures".

However, this stone has a "window" that is a cut made by rubbing a cutter on the stone, so that the meat inside can be seen.

My father took a fancy to this window. He said that the color inside the window is purple, which is very likely to be a violet species. If the material of more than ten kilograms is full, it will cost tens of millions.

My father asked for this rough stone on the spot, but Lao Niu asked for 650,000 yuan. We didn't have that much money. Later, my father asked Boss Zeng for a guarantee and took the material immediately.

After the transaction was completed, Lao Niu said that he had to go to Myanmar to get the material, so he couldn't cut the material for us. My father and I left the store and went to Gonghang, which is a place that specializes in cutting stones for gamblers. We found a stone cutting master to cut this rough stone.

My father showed the stone to others, but the stone cutter immediately said: "I dare not cut this material because it is a ghost."

After my father and I heard it, we immediately felt a dark cloud hanging over our heads, but my father was not willing to give up and insisted on cutting it open. He said: "The material is black sand and it has an opening. How can it be wrong? I have studied it for so many years, so it should be correct."

Seeing that my father was not willing to give up, the stone cutter pointed out a clear way for my father. He said: "If the stone is real, then what you said is of course correct, but this is a fake, made of a purple base, and the opening is glued on."

My father heard it and felt that it was not right. The stone cutter got angry and took the stone and broke it a few times. My father and I were dumbfounded. The stone was actually divided into three parts. These three layers were perfectly combined with glue. The first layer was indeed natural glutinous ice jadeite, the second layer was fake color, so no light could be cast in, and the third layer was the place where the dyed material was pasted. It was really a perfect fake material.

My father looked at the material and sat down on the ground at that time. We sold the house to gamble. He was silent for a long time and said to me: "My research is correct. It's not that I don't understand, but the material is fake."

I looked at my father's sad and desperate look, so I took him back to the hotel, comforting him as I walked, saying that his research was correct and we were just deceived. He told him not to think too much and we still have a chance.

After my father said that, he never spoke again. We stayed in the hotel for one night. When it was almost dawn, my father woke me up and said he was hungry and asked me to go out and buy him some food. I was half asleep, so I got up and bought him some food. When I left, he said to me, "Don't gamble on stones in the future."

I looked at his extremely sincere eyes and smiled at him, saying that he was narrow-minded, but I really didn't expect that this smile would be the last intersection between him and me.

After I bought food and came back, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a person hanging on the electric fan on the roof, and my heart was suddenly desperate.

It was my father.

He was hanging there alone...

The saying that one cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, and one cut makes you wear sackcloth is really accurate. Boss Zeng cut off three million with one cut, and my father and I lost everything with one cut, and my father even lost his life.

My father's funeral cost tens of thousands of yuan, and all the money was borrowed to hold the funeral. My father's death did not receive sympathy from his relatives. They all said he deserved it, and we accepted it.

But there is one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable. Our house is mortgaged to the bank. My mother and I can still live there as long as the repayment period is not over.

But my father had asked Mr. Zeng to guarantee 300,000 yuan before. After my father died, Mr. Zeng came to our house and insisted that we pay back the money. I asked Mr. Zeng to give me a few days, but it was impossible. He said that my father was dead, how could an orphan and a widow have the ability to pay back the money?

He insisted that we sell the house and cash it out for him, and he also brought lawyers and bank people. My father's first seven days had not passed yet, and he came to collect the debt. Although we owed him, this was a bit too much. My mother and I had no choice but to be forced by them to change the name on the property certificate to Mr. Zeng. Just like that, my father died and we became homeless.

I used to think that Mr. Zeng was a pretty good person, but a journey of a thousand miles reveals a horse's strength. I finally understood this person.

However, I still wanted my mother and I to have a place to live. I hoped that Mr. Zeng would not drive us away first. He said no, so I went to talk to his daughter. Mr. Zeng's daughter was called Zeng Hong. She was in the same department as me. My father used to drive her home and took me along. I thought I had a good relationship with her, so I wanted to ask her to persuade her father to let us live in the house first.

I found Zeng Hong in her department. Zeng Hong was a very beautiful girl with a slim figure, tall stature, and a little dark skin. This was the characteristic of Ruili local girls, but it did not affect her beauty at all.

When I met Zeng Hong, she was very polite and sympathized with my father's death. I said if you really sympathized with me, you should ask your father not to drive us away first, and let us live at home for a while. When I made money, I would definitely pay it back. Zeng Hong agreed immediately and told me that she would talk to her father when she returned.

I was very happy and grateful to Zeng Hong. I felt that Zeng Hong was different from her father.

After this matter was settled, I was ready to find a part-time job. Ruili is a tourist city with many restaurants. I found a job as a waiter in the largest folk restaurant, Mengmaoyan.

There was a table of dishes at noon. I served them. By chance, I met Zeng Hong, who was eating inside. After I served the dishes, I said, "Zeng Hong, you can give me a 20% discount if you say you are my friend."

Zeng Hong smiled and didn't say anything. I saw that she had friends with her, so I left because she might be embarrassed. But as soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a woman ask, "Zeng Hong, who is that? Do you know him? I didn't expect you to have so many friends that you even know the waiters..."

This made me very uncomfortable. Even a fool could understand what she meant, but Zeng Hong's words made me feel even worse.

"He's not a friend. He's the son of my dad's driver. His dad used his public property for personal gain. He had to pick me up when I was picked up. How embarrassing it was to sit in the same car without talking to him. Now his dad is dead, and I'm finally free. This guy is shameless. He owes my dad money and mortgaged his house. He even came to me with a thick face to ask me to persuade my dad not to take over his house. He even gave me a 20% discount. I can afford it even if you don't give me a discount. This is what poor people do." Zeng Hong's words made me feel like a knife in my heart. I thought we were friends, but I didn't expect that she thought of me this way. I left with tears in my eyes, but I didn't feel ashamed. It doesn't matter if you look down on me. I look up to myself. One day I will turn over.
