Chapter 251: A Passionate Gem Merchant
Ryan handed the dark crystal with a faint luster that he had paid for to the shopkeeper, wanting to ask the alchemist who had just helped the guest to help unseal the rough dark crystal.
This alchemist is specially hired by the original stone workshop to open the rough gem for customers, and the opening rough stone is not a difficult way for the alchemist, as long as the alchemist who knows some general knowledge can open the magic gem rough even if he is only a low-level alchemist.
Ryan actually if he wanted, it is not impossible for him to personally open this black crystal, although Ryan is only a low-level alchemist, but his foundation is very solid, and it is not difficult for Ryan to open the gem rough.
However, the alchemist hired by the shopkeeper had just opened a high-grade emerald, and he was a mid-level alchemist, so he was undoubtedly familiar with Kaifeng, so Ryan hesitated for a while and chose to let the Fair alchemist of the Rough Stone Workshop store open it for him.
Ryan handed the dark crystal rough he bought into the hands of Fell Alchemist, and after Fell Alchemist put the black crystal rough into the alchemy table, his white-gloved hands danced gently on the alchemy table, and through a special rhythm, the spiritual power released by his fingertips stimulated and activated the hidden energy in the black crystal.
A few seconds later-
A dark black light flashed, and the alchemist of Fell stared at the rough dark crystal on the alchemy table without blinking as if he had seen something incredible.
Ryan was dumbfounded when he saw this result, and even the onlookers were stunned, and many people even sighed for Ryan's luck.
As mentioned earlier, rough gemstones have a 66 percent chance of producing inferior stones, a 30 percent chance of producing medium stones, and a 3 percent chance of producing high stones
Sixty-six plus thirty equals ninety-six, and ninety-six plus three equals ninety-nine.
Hey? Isn't there still one percent? So what exactly is the remaining one percent!?
There is also a possibility for the rough gem to be opened, that is, to open the waste stone!!
The chance of Kaifeng encountering waste stone is only one percent, and this one percent is something that all guests who open rough gemstones do not want to encounter.
And Ryan's luck is so "good" that he was able to directly pick the waste rock that is only one out of a hundred!
This piece of black crystal rough was purchased by Ryan for 1.2 million gold coins, and this black crystal can be said to be the best piece of color in the rough stone workshop, and this highly anticipated black crystal is just a waste stone of no value!
Neither Ryan nor the Fair alchemist would have imagined that such a well-colored rough gemstone would produce such a result.
Seeing Ryan's frustrated expression, Xingyun walked over and gently patted Ryan's shoulder and comforted Ryan: "Don't worry too much, it's just more than a million gold coins, for the method of making money by gambling on gem roughs, you should be clear about the worst situation you may face before you start betting, and maintain a stable state of mind after losing or winning bets, so as to have a chance to become the ultimate victory." ”
In the face of Nebula's comfort and teachings, Ryan humbly accepted it, Ryan himself is also the young master of the magic family, and he only lost a million gold coins, which will not cause much damage to Ryan.
In fact, Ryan's frustration was not because he lost the gold coins, but because he originally wanted to show off like his brother after opening medium or high gems, but things had a different ending, which had to make Ryan frustrated.
Next, it was Shinas's turn to open the multicolored crystals she bought, don't look at the crowd of onlookers in the rough stone workshop It seems that there are a lot of people, in fact, only a small part of the guests who have the financial resources to bet on the rough gemstones.
The customer who came to the rough stone workshop to select the rough stone after opening the high emerald gemstone, in addition to the three Nebula three, there were only two or three inconspicuous ones, and they were all still hesitating in the store in front of the dazzling array of gemstones, not at all like the three Nebula who just looked at it for a few minutes and directly paid the clerk to take out the rough gem from the counter covered with inscription protection.
This extremely irresponsible selection method naturally makes the few customers who are still in the store scoff, if they can rely on luck to select those rough stones that can be opened and sealed out of medium and high gemstones, then what should they do who are hired by major forces to specialize in selecting rough gemstones?
The alchemist hired by Fell in the Rough Stone Workshop was busy again, and in the face of the most precious multicolored crystal rough in the Rough Stone Workshop, Fell did not dare to be careless at all, if something went wrong in the process of opening the seal, then the good reputation he had accumulated over the years would be all over.
Although there are generally no problems with opening, there are also some rookie alchemists who have damaged the rough when they opened the gem rough, and the damaged rough stone is completely different from the waste stone.
Waste rock is already considered a product of refining failure when smelting gemstones, but there is no way to find out whether the smelted rough stone is waste rock before it is opened.
The damage to the rough stone is due to the alchemist's own skills, or when the rough gem is opened, the mental power fluctuates too much, and the situation occurs that it goes berserk or shrinks.
However, this situation generally only occurs in the junior rookie alchemist, and a mid-level alchemist like Fell can be said to have such a low-level mistake at all.
After a while, the multicolored crystals that were placed smoothly on the alchemy table suddenly emitted a dazzling light, orange, green, purple, the three colors of light reflected each other, as if a miracle deeply attracted all the surrounding people.
"These are three colors of multicolored crystals, this young man actually opened a medium multicolored crystal!!" In the crowd, a knowledgeable old man opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly at the people around him.
Colorful crystals are somewhat different from other crystals and gemstones, in addition to analyzing the three grades of multicolored crystals through energy fluctuations, medium and high, and can also be distinguished by color.
Inferior multicolored crystals will only have one color, three for the medium and five for the high.
Seeing that she had opened a medium multicolored crystal, Shinas was very happy, it was the first time she had participated in this kind of gambling activity, and she had actually made money.
Shinas looked at the multicolored crystals on the alchemy table, and then at the nebula, who was resting his hands against the doorpost and looking at the medium-colored crystal.
Shinas was convinced that the reason why Nebula said those vague things to himself was because Nebula knew that the multicolored crystal was of medium grade.
As Shinas pondered over the question of why Nebula was able to see through unopened gem roughs, some cacophony of voices suddenly disrupted Shinas's thoughts.
"Young man, I intend to buy this medium multicolored crystal for thirty-five million gold coins, if you will, I, Mister, are waiting for you at any time in the bright shop." An uncle with a white strip of cloth wrapped around his head and a profiteer who looked like a profiteer said very earnestly to Shinas.
After hearing what Mister said, a fat man next to him in gorgeous clothes couldn't stand it anymore, and the fat man held his big belly and said viciously to Mister: "Mister, why haven't you black-hearted businessman been killed yet?" Young man, don't listen to his nonsense, how can a medium multicolored crystal be worth only 35 million? I, Robla, bid 50 million, which is not a low price, and if you agree, we can trade it now. It just so happens that I have a credit card machine with me, and using the transfer function of the credit card machine, you can get 50 million gold coins without a minute. ”
"Humph! Robla, you dead fat man, how dare you say it!? Although the price of 50 million gold coins is not low, it is not high. Young man, don't be fooled by those two duet singers, they often fool the rookie who bets on the rough gem for the first time. I, Nora, have decided to buy this medium multicolored crystal of yours for 60 million gold coins, and of course I also have a credit card machine with me, as long as you want, I will transfer it immediately! A slender young man in a brown robe said flatteringly to Shinas.
"This young man"
"Handsome lad"
Siniston was surrounded by a number of gem merchants who were looking for a source in Ariante.
When a finished gemstone finally reaches the customer, it goes through a lot of procedures.
In the beginning, ore merchants first purchased a variety of gem mother ores from major mines or adventurers who knew mining technology, and then asked excellent blacksmiths or alchemists to smelt these mother ores, and then sold the smelted rough gemstones to rough stone merchants, and then the rough stone merchants opened shops to sell to scattered customers or resold in bulk to major forces with strong capital, and finally the gem merchants purchased the finished gems in the hands of scattered customers and opened gem shops for sale.
Gem merchants can be said to be an extremely lucrative industry, as long as they can understand the market situation and buy these finished gems at the right price, it is impossible not to make money.
However, due to the fact that there are many monks and few porridges, in front of the major rough stone shops, gem merchants from various gem shops will come here to compete.
It is best to receive the finished gem at a low price, even if there are other gem merchants who make trouble, as long as the price does not exceed their own expectations, they can still take it, and the difference between high and low prices is just to make more and make less.
After all, a gem merchant is a profit-oriented businessman, and it is impossible for a cunning fox merchant to do such a brainless thing as buying finished gems at a loss.
In the end, the medium-colored crystal in the hands of Shinas was bought by a female gem merchant for 70 million gold coins, which was not a big difference from the market price, at most a few million yuan, which was not quite in line with the mercenary nature of the gem mercenary.
Presumably, if it weren't for the fact that the female gem dealer wanted to make a name for herself in her gem shop, she probably knew some insider information and was ready to start stockpiling some special finished gemstones
