"Huh? Raw materials are tight, so the finished product market should be very hot, right? Don't you need to replenish some inventory?" After hearing Liu Xiguo's words, Ye Tian asked a little strangely.
Liu Xiguo smiled bitterly and said: "It is for this reason that the recent jade market is not stable. Many people are waiting and watching..."
It turns out that when the situation in Myanmar was turbulent, the price of jadeite raw materials soared, and the cost increased, which caused the sales price of finished jadeite on the market to increase. Some items that originally cost a few thousand yuan are now sold for tens of thousands.
The increase is astonishing.
In 1998, the jade market was not very mature, and most of them were mid- to low-end customers. Those big collectors had not yet entered the market. As a result, the high price of jade discouraged many people.
Although many people understand that this is an adjustment period, without the intervention of high-end customers, some expensive jewelry cannot be sold, which has caused the jade market to be depressed, and the Myanmar jade public sale has also become sparse.
After listening to Liu Xiguo's explanation, Ye Tian smiled and said: "Xiguo, if possible, you should invest all your funds in the raw material market. In short, you will not lose money!"
"Uncle, are you optimistic about this market?" Liu Xiguo looked at Ye Tian strangely. In his memory, this junior uncle didn't seem to be in the jade business, right?
Ye Tianwen shook his head and said: "The Hotan jade in Xinjiang is almost being mined, and the price has increased ten times compared to ten years ago. There should be no harm in buying some now, right?"
Ye Tian doesn't know much about jewelry business, but he understands one thing. This jade is the same as gold and jade. They are all non-renewable resources. Once they are hollowed out, the goods hoarded in hand will be destroyed.
It has become a rare place to live.
"What my uncle said is that I need to communicate with my father before talking about it."
What Ye Tian said is not profound, and many people can understand it. However, there are many people in the world who understand, but only a very small number of people can make money. These people not only have unique vision, but more importantly, dare to
Taking action is also one of the most important qualities of a successful person.
Of course, Liu Xiguo knew that his father-in-law valued Ye Tian very much and spoke highly of him, so he did not dare to ignore Ye Tian's words and actually took out his mobile phone to contact Zuo Jiajun.
"Haha, senior brother can't give you any advice on this."
Ye Tian smiled and said nothing more. Although Zuo Jiajun was good at fortune-telling, he could never see things clearly that involved him. At most, he could only create a feng shui for his family to attract wealth.
Moreover, divination involving money is the most difficult among divination. Otherwise, would those Feng Shui fortune tellers still be around to tell people’s fortunes? Wouldn’t they be able to make a lot of money by just casting a divination on the stock market?
Seeing Liu Xiguo step aside and making a phone call, Ye Tian walked towards the semi-gambling wool area. The downturn in the jade market was also an opportunity for him, which meant that Ye Tian could purchase the raw materials he needed at a relatively low price.
.
"With so many rough stones, if they all contain jade, I won't have to worry about setting up jade formations in my life."
Walking in this field full of jadeite stones, Ye Tian couldn't help but think about it. People like him were indispensable for "wealth, love, law, and land", but these all required huge funds to back them up.
Although Ye Tian had just made a fortune, the gold was hidden by his senior brother, and Ye Tian was embarrassed to keep it all for himself. When the time came, he would not be able to use most of the funds as funds for Mai's lineage, otherwise he would definitely end up with it.
Being restless is extremely detrimental to the cultivation of his state of mind.
"Hmm? There are quite a lot of stones for this half-bet, huh?"
After arriving at the half-stone area, Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Most of the people in this venue were actually gathered here, commenting on the original stones that had opened the windows or wiped off the stone skin.
Seeing a young-looking young man like Ye Tian coming over, the rough stone merchants didn't pay much attention. They all regarded him as a knowledgeable young man from someone's family, and they were still observing their favorite gambling stones.
"There must be much more jade in these stones than the one on Hong Kong Island, right?"
Looking at the rough stones that were either wrapped in mist or gleaming with greenery, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little excited. His special Qi machine that could sense the aura of heaven and earth would definitely be invincible here.
The big killer.
Due to the large amount of jade needed this time, Ye Tian walked straight to a huge piece of oval-shaped wool that weighed about three to four hundred kilograms and stopped in front of it. The stone skin of this piece of wool was faintly cyan, and there was a piece in the middle of the material.
Palm-sized window cleaner.
At this time, two middle-aged men were squatting in front of this piece of material. They were shining bright flashlights on the stone skin with their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to see through the stone skin to see what was going on inside.
.
Ye Tian was not in a hurry, and stood quietly waiting for the two of them to check the rough stone. After five or six minutes, one of them stood up and said, "Old Wu, what do you think? There is fog coming out of this place where I wipe my mouth. It must be inside."
There is jade, but the quality and quantity are difficult to determine."
The middle-aged man known as Lao Wu nodded and said: "Ten fogs and nine greens, boss, I am optimistic about this material."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Tian couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. The saying "It's hard for an immortal to break an inch of jade" is indeed true. In fact, this rough stone that the two of them were optimistic about only had some very scattered stones in it.
The purity of the spiritual energy of loose jade is not very high.
"Young man, what's the matter? Do you have any different opinions?"
When Ye Tian had a disapproving smile on his face, Lao Wu happened to raise his head to see it, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable. He was also a famous connoisseur in the stone betting shop, so he immediately started questioning him.
Ye Tian knew that his smile had been misunderstood by others, so he quickly said: "I don't dare, I don't know how to gamble on stones. I just laughed after hearing what the uncle said was interesting. I really didn't mean anything else."
Although Ye Tian has been exposed to higher and higher levels in recent years, his face-changing skills were learned from Li Shanyuan's travels, and his expression was unusually sincere when he apologized, which immediately made Lao Wu's face soften.
"Haha, young man, who are you here with?"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Ye Tian had already apologized, and Old Wu didn't take it seriously. The humility of the young man in front of him made him very fond of him.
Ye Tian smiled and pointed at Liu Xiguo in the distance, and said, "I came here with the people from Zuo's Jewelry in Hong Kong."
"Oh, it's Lao Liu, so you're no longer an outsider. I think you don't know much about jade. Do you want to follow me and listen?"
Old Wu was a good teacher. He turned to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are from Master Zuo's side. Is it okay to follow us?"
If you are commenting on rough stones in public, you are not afraid of anyone observing, but now each jewelry company selects stones in private. Generally speaking, it is taboo for outsiders to approach them. After all, peers are enemies.
"Master Zuo's people?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Tian carefully, a thoughtful expression flashed across his face, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Zheng Dajun, I am responsible for the procurement of raw materials for Zheng's jewelry in Hong Kong, little brother.
If nothing happens, it would be a good idea to follow Master Wu and listen to his explanation of jade."
Compared with Zuo Jiajun's jewelry company, Zheng's Jewelry is undoubtedly the leading company in Hong Kong Island. Their behavior has always been a benchmark for jewelry in Southeast Asia. Together with the people in charge of Zheng's Jewelry, they also have a transcendent status among their peers.
.
However, just some time ago, Zuo's Jewelry in Hong Kong suddenly launched several top-quality imperial green jewelry, which suddenly positioned their company as a high-end jade jewelry sales company, causing a great sensation in the industry.
Zheng Dajun once inquired about the origin of the imperial green jadeite and knew that it was obtained by a young man gambling on stones. Therefore, after meeting Ye Tian, he felt a little confused and did not dare to show off to Ye Tian as a big company.
Old Wu had met Zuo Jiajun once before, so he relied on his seniority to invite Ye Tian. However, Zheng Dajun's enthusiasm made Master Wu look at Ye Tian a few more times. He knew that Mr. Zheng usually
The eyes are higher than the top.
"Thank you both. I'm just here to join in the fun. I don't know anything about stone gambling. You two continue to be busy."
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, declining the other party's kindness. He happened to pass by a rough stone that was no less big than the piece of material above. He stopped and said, "This piece of material is so ugly. I'll take a look first. You two please go first!"
The raw jadeite that appeared in front of Ye Tian was slightly dark red in color, and the base looked a bit like a millstone. There were actually three layers stacked on top of it. At first glance, it looked like a magnified lump.
It's no wonder that Ye Tian said it was ugly.
A vertical plane was cut out on one side of the rough stone, making its shape look even more nondescript.
"Young man, this piece of material is waste. Those black-hearted jade mine owners put it here to fool people. There is no need to spend time on it." Seeing Ye Tian staying next to the rough stone, Old Wu kindly reminded him.
.
As an experienced stone betting master, Lao Wu naturally would not judge the quality of the rough stone based on his preference or the shape of it. The key is that the cut performance of this rough stone is really poor. Not to mention the haze, even the most basic
Quartz crystals have not appeared, and there are simply no conditions for the formation of jadeite.
"Haha, I just took a look."
Ye Tian originally had no interest in the original stone. He just wanted to find a reason to get rid of these two people. However, seeing that they also stood still, Ye Tian simply released his energy and cut along the plane of the original stone.
