A young man bought seven stones for 7,000 yuan, cut them all, and made a net profit of 143,000 yuan.

The young man's name is Zheng Dao, and he is a fifth-year student at a medical university in Shimen. Although he studied Western medicine, because of the influence of his father, he was pregnant with chinese medicine skills at a young age.

Zheng Dao's father, Zheng Yin, is a mysterious old Chinese medicine doctor who ran away from home not long ago, and Zheng Dao is in a period of economic difficulties.

On this day, he took Shen Xiangwei, a rich girl he had just met, to the Wenwan Market in Wuyou Lane and walked into a gambling stone shop called "Hu YiDao". The couplet at the entrance of this shop is very interesting -

The upper link is: left one knife, right knife, previous knife, next knife

The next link is: a knife for life, a knife for death, a knife for earning, and a knife for loss

I really admire the author of the couplet, who uses humor and humor to tell the characteristics of the gambling stone business concisely and clearly to the customer. In fact, the more humorous is the name of the shop owner - nonsense.

It is said that when the jadeite raw material was just mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered leather, and it was not known whether there was jadeite in it, or what the quality of the jadeite was.

Some people who gamble on stone buy rough at a not too high price and let customers choose a few stones to cut on the spot to determine whether there is jadeite in it.

If you win a bet, you may get tens or even hundreds of times the profit; if you lose the bet, you may lose everything and even ruin your family.

The nonsense gambling stone shop has a long history in Wuyou Lane, and Zheng Dao's father once gambled here and made a lot of money.

Nonsense saw two young people enter the store, a little excited, especially when he saw that the girls were either rich or expensive, and wanted to make a lot of money.

As soon as Shen Xiangwei saw so many gems, he was moved, and immediately took out five thousand yuan to buy three stones. Nonsense was full of flowers, and after a while Kung Fu cut all three stones, and then said with a look of regret:

"Oh, it's unlucky, nothing."

Shen Xiangwei picked up a cut stone and looked at it a few times--the stone was still a stone inside, and he threw the stone with his raised hand: "It's really disappointing, it's not fun, it's gone, it's not playing!"

Zheng Dao did not leave, he said to Hu: "Boss Hu, let's continue to bet on the stone, okay?" But to change the way to play, play a more exciting. ”

Nonsense just made five thousand, the mood is very good, as soon as he heard that he still wanted to play, he immediately smiled and smiled: "The customer is God, how to play you decide."

At this time, an old man with crane hair and a childlike face also came to the shop and told him not to say much and to be a quiet bystander.

Zheng Dao circled the pile of stones seven times, picked out seven stones, and then bought them for 1,000 yuan each.

Nonsense also puts an additional condition on that if Zheng Dao cuts jadeite out of seven stones, he will be promised to buy it back at one-third of the market price.

Zheng Dao agreed to the additional conditions of the nonsense, and the nonsense said "open cut", and casually picked up a stone and put it on the cutting machine.

After the first stone split in two, it was found to be a waste stone. Then the second, third, fourth, and fifth pieces are cut, and the stone is still stone.

Zheng Dao was still as calm as ever, Shen Xiangwei was schadenfreude, nonsense was complacent, and the old man who was watching from the wall was a little nervous.

When the sixth stone was put on the cutting machine, Zheng Dao shouted "Stop" and then said, "This stone, I will come."

As a result, the sixth piece is still a stone in addition to the stone!

The old man showed a hint of uneasiness, seven stones, six without emeralds in them, only one, and the hope of cutting out the gems was too small.

Shen Xiangwei handed the last stone to Zheng Dao, which was an oval stone that Zheng Dao had turned out from under the table.

Zheng Dao put the stone on the cutting machine, this time he did not cut from the middle, but first cut off the two ends, and then slowly cut along the four sides with a knife.

As soon as the cutting machine stopped, Zheng Dao held the cut stone in his hand, and the old man walked to the front to see: a piece of turquoise jade was wrapped in the stone, like the size of a fist, green, crystal clear.

After two minutes of nonsense, Zheng Dao finally cut out the jade in the final stone! And it is the best glass species imperial green.

This piece of jadeite was sold for 150,000 yuan, and in addition to the 7,000 yuan that Shen Xiangwei advanced, Zheng Daojing earned 143,000 yuan.

Seeing that Zheng Dao had won, the old man was happy, and he felt the strange breath in the store outside the door before stepping into the store.

When he saw Zheng Dao's first glance, he knew that the strange breath came from this young man, although this young man was temporarily at a low place in life, it was undeniable that he had very good qualities, just like a piece of jade, as long as he carved a little, he could become a big instrument.

This old man's name was Bi Wentian, and he was a worldly man. Since Zheng Dao got to know him and Shen Xiangwei, he was unconsciously involved in the struggle between the two giants.

This story comes from a small fragment of the new book "The Hidden Doctor". The author is million-selling author He Changzai.

"The Hermit Wise Doctor" is a special work that tells stories while imparting knowledge of TCM. As it's written on its cover:

"Not only is there a gripping story, but there is also a timeless heritage of TCM culture."

Reading a book can not only get a refreshing reading experience, but also be able to master some ways to cure diseases and health, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Today, I recommend He Changzai's new book "Hermit Wisdom Doctor", which makes "3 million readers look forward to it", to you who love books.
