WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“There is a lot of room for manipulation and hidden profits in this trade.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Stone gambling (dushi)

After raw jadeite is mined, it is encased in a weathered crust, making it impossible to ascertain its interior quality before cutting. Trading relies entirely on experience and luck, involving high risks and immense profits, and in the Chinese jewelry trade it often involves complex valuations and gray-area operations.
