Chapter 2013: Troubles in Jianghu

Ye Ming casually rented a single dormitory nearby and had a good night's rest. There might be dangers waiting for him when he enters the Emerald City. If he doesn't recharge his batteries properly, it could easily be dangerous.

The next day, Ye Ming arrived at Jade City early. This place was indeed the first of the four major jade markets in Luohua City. Even if he got up early in the morning, there were so many people there, it was like going to a big market in the countryside.

You know, this is not a vegetable market in the countryside. Meat dishes that cost a few yuan per catty, more than ten yuan or twenty yuan per catty are already considered to be quite good hard dishes.

Under normal circumstances, the raw jade stones here, even those that look like scraps and are used to fool tourists, cost one to two hundred yuan each, which is basically the lowest price in the jade market.

However, in fact, after Ye Ming arrived, he could clearly feel that Emerald City was different from other places.

Some of the gangster-looking people here have already had some elemental fluctuations. It must be the kind of pseudo-awakened superpower that Captain Ouyang mentioned.

If the police can have such pseudo-superpower informants, there will naturally be gangsters in the world who are willing to take a chance and become pseudo-superpowers.

It seems that this Emerald City is extraordinary, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Thinking about it, forget about other places. This Emerald City is where the Emerald City comes from. It is impossible for the people behind the scenes not to use some superpowers to overwhelm the scene.

Although these gangster-like security guards may not be enough to deal with real superpowers, they are enough to deal with ordinary people, even ordinary martial arts masters.

In fact, basically the prices of jadeite stones here are calculated based on thousand yuan or ten thousand yuan.

Young people like Ye Ming, who look like rookies at first glance, are actually the most liked by everyone, because this kind of people are the easiest to be fooled, and being fooled often only costs one's life?

Because young people like this come alone. In fact, most of them have no background and no rights. If they are the children of a wealthy family, they must be accompanied by a bodyguard and a housekeeper.

Ye Ming was wearing cheap sportswear and wandering around alone here. At first glance, he looked like a rookie who was just starting out in the world. This kind of person would obediently pay for it with just a few casual words.

But generally speaking, in the antique market, there is an unspoken rule, that is, even if the fat sheep looks like a fat sheep, you cannot greet customers at the door of the store.

Jade is actually similar to antiques. It is the kind of business that does not open for three years but can last for three years after opening.

Therefore, standing at the gate like selling cloth to solicit customers is usually a sign of losing status.

Most of the customers who can afford to buy jade are the kind of people who are either rich or expensive. People like you, who are low-status, hawking jade at your own door, are often looked down upon.

Therefore, when you arrive at the jade market, this customer will only be considered your customer if he enters your shop and asks for the price, and others will not take it away easily.

Therefore, most people here just sit back and wait for customers to take the bait.

Ye Ming had been walking in the Emerald City for less than half an hour when he suddenly heard a scream. A man's whole body was on fire. He screamed and ran out of a shop. After running a few steps, he fell to the ground.

At this time, several security guards ran over and skillfully shot out a few white icy lights. However, they saw that the burned man was beyond recognition and had been dead for a long time.

The security guards in Emerald City are actually quite used to it. A man who looked like a squad leader said with emotion: "Should we call the police? It's another risk-taking person who wants to awaken. Damn, if awakening were so easy, the streets would be full of superpowers.

People who don't have the potential to awaken often end up like this. You bastards will wake up only when there is smoke rising from the graves of your ancestors. Do a good job for me from now on. "

Many people in Emerald City are actually not surprised by this kind of thing. Therefore, except for a few tourists who were slightly frightened, other people simply continued to do their own business.

Ye Ming also shook his head for a while. This is the world. If you want to get ahead, you must have a hard fist. Only by having a hard fist can you live a better life.

But awakening, to be honest, not just everyone can awaken.

At this time, in fact, this failed awakening was at the entrance of Langya Pavilion. The shopkeeper of Langya Pavilion is called Song Lai, who can be regarded as an old man in Emerald City. He has been operating here for more than ten years, and he has not made a lot of money. Came over very smoothly.

Song Lai felt that he was very lucky today. When he went out, he encountered magpies chirping on the big tree in front of his room.

I was very happy in my heart when I arrived at Langya Pavilion, my shop in Emerald City, and opened it immediately after decorating it. This is just waiting for customers to come to your door.

Sure enough, a few familiar tour guides brought two waves of tourists from out of town. The consumption was not much, but it still cost more than 10,000 yuan.

This is all trivial. In fact, everyone now knows that the real big deal is the people coming from above, or the children of aristocratic families who come to buy jade. Those are the real high-rollers.

Now more than half of the shops in Emerald City actually rely on these high-rollers to stay alive.

Everyone just said that they think the jade business has gotten better and better in the past two years.

Even Langya Pavilion from Song Dynasty, which has a relatively average shop, gritted its teeth and purchased more than three million yuan of jadeite in the first half of the year.

Half of them have been sold in less than half a year.

Needless to say, the net profit is enough for Song Lai to maintain a life of keeping the red flag at home and colorful flags flying outside.

In fact, even now, unless you are a newcomer to the jade market, under normal circumstances, the boss has no intention of standing up to sell.

It's the same this time. In fact, you can tell from Ye Ming's attire and eyesight that this kid is a fat sheep. People who don't really want to buy jade would have already asked about the price.

The more people look at something without asking about the price, the more likely they are to become potential customers. Since you have entered your own store, don’t you want to make a good profit?

Song Lai started his business from a small business. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still a big one. What's more, it might be a fat sheep.

It's a pity that this guy just said that he was looking at the rough jade stone, so he had no intention of asking the price at this time.

If he leaves like this, then this guest will definitely not be considered his own.

Therefore, Song Lai couldn't sit still at this moment. He finally caught a guy who looked like a fat sheep. How could he slip away so easily?

At this time, Song Lai had actually been thinking about what he thought would be better to keep Ye Ming. But Ye Ming didn't care about the owner of this shop.

He visited more than a dozen shops, just trying to find a rough jadeite that was of good quality but not very expensive.

In fact, the first place he went to was Tianxianlou, the largest shop in the jade market. Of course, the largest shop must have hard goods. Ye Ming could see that these rough jadeite stones in Tianxianlou had a chance to produce high-quality jadeite. There are very many.

However, Ye Ming didn't look carefully at the raw jade stones in Tianxian Tower. He just said that if he looked at the price, the starting price was two thousand, which was the lowest price.

Therefore, Ye Ming did not take a closer look at the condition of the jadeite stones, and simply turned around and left.

Because even the cheapest piece of jadeite from Tianxian Tower costs more than 30,000 yuan, and Ye Ming doesn't have that much money at all.

Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming wandered around twice, and the number of guests visiting the Emerald City began to increase again, and then he came directly to Langya Pavilion.

At this time, there were several young people sitting on the second floor of Tianxian Building. One of them, a girl with a face as white as jade, looked outside with lingering fear and said: "Brother Qiu, it was really scary just now. A living person. So being burned to death in front of me makes me scared just thinking about it."

Opposite the girl, the young man known as Brother Qiu said unhurriedly: "To awaken, you need to have potential, you need to have the best jadeite, and you need to have real people with similar powers to protect you. One is indispensable, not to mention forced awakening, which is the result of being swallowed by the elements.

If the jade elements are mottled and impure, awakening will be even more dangerous. "

After saying that, Brother Qiu looked away and looked outside without saying a word.

Langya Pavilion not only has a nice name, but also, looking at the customers inside, not to mention a huge crowd, but at least there are a lot of people coming, especially some people who look like tourists from out of town, which means that the owner of the store is that kind of person. A person who deals in low- to mid-range jadeite business.

Basically, they are just trying to trick tourists into doing business. In fact, this is because we have already contacted the tour guide of the travel agency and directly brought tourists here.

The prices of jadeite and jadeite rough stones in places like this are generally relatively affordable.

Therefore, at this time, after Song Lai settled the guests brought by the tour guide, he sat down and drank tea slowly, and said casually: "Little brother, it's strange. It's my first time in Emerald City. I haven't seen him before. You."

This kind of chatting is about trying every possible means to find out the customer's bottom line and conditions from the conversation. This is also a trick in doing business.

If customers are interested in talking to you, then basically there is hope for this business.

Ye Ming actually also took a fancy to a few pieces of jadeite rough. Among them was a black stone with a price tag of 500 kilograms. Ye Ming could clearly feel that there was an emerald green light inside.

I don’t know what’s going on. Is it because he has played the role of Jia Baoyu and has a certain fate with the jadeite in the stone? Anyway, Ye Ming feels that if he looks at a raw jadeite stone attentively, is there any jadeite inside? He could clearly feel the appearance of jade.

Although he couldn't use this ability all the time, he tried it and basically used it every ten minutes. If he used it for one minute at a time, there was basically no big problem.

After all, I am a person who has reached a certain rank in King of Glory.

Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming's mental power is actually quite strong. Therefore, this is Ye Ming's real trump card.

Among the five hundred and one kilograms of raw jadeite, looking at this black stone, which weighs about ten kilograms, I can definitely win it.

Therefore, Ye Ming didn't say anything more, but said: "Come out for a walk and relax. Boss, I bought this stone." Isn't this following the routine? Doesn't it mean that we should just chat and bargain for a price or something?

This guy just asks for the goods. If this kind of person is not very confident, he is just a stick. No matter how you look at this kid, he doesn't look like a capable jade expert.

For a moment, Song Lai lost interest. He waved his hand and said, "How many times have I weighed this stone? If you really want it, I'll give you five thousand yuan. If you like it, take it. Otherwise, forget it."

This kind of young people who come out to have fun usually make a one-time deal and are unlikely to become repeat customers. Therefore, Song Lai also lost interest in talking to Ye Ming.

Sure enough, when Ye Ming settled the accounts, he paid directly in cash, not by credit card, which made Song Lai conclude one thing. This guy is definitely not a rich man or a rich second generation. Otherwise, how many rich people there are? Did you bring cash with you?

One is unsafe, and the other is such a cliché.

Ye Ming came here just to buy jade. In fact, it was not to awaken, but to better integrate into the jade market. Therefore, after he paid the money, he directly asked Song Lai to drive it out. This news immediately aroused the attention of some people.

Because these days, usually only people from above, or family members, who have a large number of people dare to drive Fei out in person.

Others, even individual tourists, now know an unspoken rule of the Emerald City. It is best not to open the raw jade stones in person.

If he really had to speak out in person and break down, it would be okay to say that he would only be laughed at for a while at most.

But if a person directly finds a good piece of jade, then people in the jade market will be very jealous.

These days, ordinary people may not know what a good piece of jade means, but people like these who have played with jade in the Emerald City for many years naturally understand it very well.

It represents interests, and money moves people's hearts. Many people know this very well.

Therefore, this time I saw that Ye Ming actually asked to be driven out directly. At this time, not to mention some of the surrounding customers, even the nearby shopkeepers felt that it was strange. It had been a long time since a single tourist had dared to drive out directly. The emerald came out.

Even Shopkeeper Zhao from Tianxian Pavilion came over to watch the fun.

It did happen before. In the past two years, there are definitely very few single customers who dare to directly ask someone to open the jade. Song Lai had an expression that said, "If you are willing to die, I will be willing to bury it." He directly turned on the stone-breaking machine and began to help Ye Ming untie the jadeite.
