C169 The Difference in Choice
In the end, Xu Chao chose a piece of semi-gambling material. It looked like a big piece, and it should weigh at least a hundred kilograms. He opened the skylight and saw that the color of the green part was very good. There were almost no small folds, and there were five or six large cracks on the surface of the fake skin. Even with the naked eye, he could see that there was a green light inside.
This was a piece of extremely expensive material. The price was clearly marked. After a 20% discount, eight million!
Old Master Chen looked at the material that Xu Chao chose and nodded with a smile. He said, "Your character is not bad!"
One should know that the bet between the two was different from the normal selection of materials. If they chose the raw material stone normally, they did not need to consider too many things. As long as they determined whether there was any treasure in the raw material stone, then the price would be within their acceptable range. Finally, the only thing left was the courage and courage to gamble.
As for the bet between the two of them, there was an additional layer of factor in the value of these things, which was the value of the treasure.
On this basis, when choosing the materials, it was often not just whether the materials could be found in the stone, but also whether the treasure could be found. Even if the treasure was found, after the cost was thrown away, how much would the treasure be worth?
This factor was neither big nor small, but it was very disruptive to the person who made the choice.
When many people saw that the cost was too high, they could not help but think about retreating. At this time, they were not thinking about whether the material had a treasure or not, but about whether they would be at a disadvantage if they invested so much into the bet.
Such an idea was actually not important in the gambling industry. Because it was already putting the cart before the horse. The purpose of gambling on stones was ultimately to produce treasures. Everything else was nonsense.
Xu Chao had found the essence of the bet. He didn't consider whether he would lose out in the early investment. He directly chose whether he could open the treasure or not. Old Master Chen had seen this point, so he admired Xu Chao's choice very much.
Seeing that Xu Chao had made his choice, Hao Chuan stood up and stretched his body. He said with a smile. "Brother Xu, I'm not as professional as you. I'll just make the decision based on my feelings."
As he spoke, Hao Chuan didn't look at the raw materials stone that opened the skylight. He went directly to the gambling area and casually chose a very small raw stone.
This pocket-sized stone was compared to the colossus that Xu Chao had chosen. Compared to the one that Xu Chao chose, the raw stone that Hao Chuan chose was indeed too small. It was even smaller than the raw stone he chose in the last round. It looked like it was less than three kilograms.
The owner of the simple shed was very happy with Xu Chao's choice. Although he had made a 20% discount and lost two million, he still made a lot of money.
However, the one Hao Chuan chose was not much better than the previous one. They were all the same type of "mischievous stones." The base price was still ten thousand. After 20%, the owner received eight thousand.
This time, he did not plan to reduce the price for Hao Chuan. Just now, Hao Chuan had offered a high price of fifteen million. How much was the cost? When he thought of this, the boss wanted to jump up and down on the spot a few times. His heart was really in pain.
Seeing Hao Chuan make such a choice, everyone at the scene had a relieved expression on their faces.
A light flashed in Great General Yuma's eyes. He smiled at Old Master Chen, who was beside him, and said, "A very smart choice."
Old Master Chen also praised Hao Chuan's choice. If Hao Chuan was a stone gambling expert, Old Master Chen might have disdained Hao Chuan.
However, Hao Chuan was only a stone gambling newbie. He lacked knowledge, insight, experience, skills and so on. Old Master Chen had always had the idea of making small bets on newcomers, which would hurt his health. If he wasn't confident, he could play. If he had ten, he would bet one. This was the stone gambling method that these rookies should choose.
Hao Chuan's choice was very consistent with this rule, but his choice... It made the gamblers who were watching the show lose interest. This way... Hao Chuan's stone was not worth looking at. They only hoped that Xu Chao could cut out some good stuff from the stone. It was not a waste for the big guy to wait under the scorching sun for two to three hours.
Xu Chao saw Hao Chuan's casual choice and could not help being stunned. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr Hao, I have to admit that you are more suitable for gambling than me!"
Hao Chuan smiled and said, "Should I cut yours or mine first?"
"The big one, the big one, the big one first!" The onlookers started to clamor. They did not need to think about the outcome of the bet. It was obvious at a glance. Hao Chuan was basically the kind of person who gave up. Even if there was a treasure, how big could he cut out such a small piece of rock?
After waiting under the scorching sun for nearly three hours, they had surprisingly forgotten about Hao Chuan's previous stone, or they had deliberately overlooked what had just happened. In the world of stone gambling, it was extremely rare to see someone as lucky as Hao Chuan. There would definitely not be a continuation of events.
After all, it was a high-quality old pit ice seed. Did it think it was a cabbage that could be easily cut out?
To be honest, Hao Chuan's choice had disappointed them. After being exposed to the sun for such a long time, everyone had resentment in their hearts. They wanted to wait for Xu Chao to finish cutting the stone and then leave. As for Hao Chuan's stone, only an idiot would look at it.
It had to be said that some people were so realistic. They had wanted to suck up to Hao Chuan before, but after seeing that Hao Chuan was useless, they immediately turned against him.
Hao Chuan did not care about what those people were thinking. He rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Alright, let's listen to the big guy. Let's cut Brother Xu's piece first."
Naturally, Xu Chao wouldn't have any objections. In fact, Xu Chao simply thought that Hao Chuan was compressing the cost because Hao Chuan had chosen that piece. He had also roughly looked at it before and thought that there was no stock inside.
He had already invested eight million in this segment, but what about Hao Chuan? Only eight thousand. Xu Chao had already lost a large part of the starting line. Therefore, he also wanted to cut his own stone as soon as possible. It was one thing to get the treasure. After getting the treasure, he hoped that the value of the treasure would be above 8,000,000. Only then would he be able to win in the third round.2
It was still the boss who personally cut it. This piece of material... Actually, the boss himself was also very good. If the risk of gambling on stones was not too high... After opening the skylight, the boss really had the idea of cutting the stone himself. However, this temptation was forcefully stopped by him. After all, seeing green didn't mean that there was a treasure. The piece that Xu Chao had chosen earlier was the best example.
Because the skylight had already been opened, the boss had a rough idea of the direction of this stone.
The boss still followed the principle of cutting first and cutting first. The boss held the cutting machine and followed the route that he had drawn in advance and came up with an "Open 8 Gates."
The so-called "open the 8 Gates" was actually opening the window according to the large crack on the raw material stone. Usually, experienced cutting masters would know that opening the window from the crack was the safest choice.
This time, the boss moved very quickly. He had polished the big crack countless times and easily picked it up.
