After Song Jun's explanation, Zhuang Rui finally understood. I bet Song Jun came here not to gamble on stones, but to hoard a batch of rough jadeite materials, and wait until a few years later to sell these.
Sell the wool and make profits from it.
After entering the 21st century, under the expectation of inflation, the price of gold skyrocketed. Another speculative market, gambling, which had been out of people's sight for many years, also became prosperous and gradually entered a prosperous market. In this speculative market,
In the super strong market, jade and jade are considered to be collections that have the same function of maintaining and appreciating value as gold.
Due to the origin of jade in Myanmar and other places, mining has been going on for hundreds of years. Especially since the 20th century, some old mines have been almost exhausted, and more people are looking for new mining areas. What follows is
, which means the price of raw stone and wool has increased significantly.
Generally, the base price of gambling stones is not too high, but the transaction price is often several times or even dozens of times higher than the base price. Around 2000, the price of old woolen gambling stones was only about 200 yuan per kilogram. By this year
It has already risen to about 700 to 800 yuan. It is common for a piece of wool to sell for tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram from the base price of 800 yuan. If the skin with green or pine flower skin performs well, it is common.
If the stones grown in Laokeng with green emeralds are planted in Laokeng, the price is even more incalculable. Generally, the starting price of stones grown in Laokeng that performs well is at least 21,000 kilograms, but its transaction price often reaches hundreds of thousands per kilogram.
It is normal for a piece of raw material to cost tens of millions. This would have been unimaginable a few years ago. This shows the rising momentum of jadeite raw materials.
Jade culture has a history of thousands of years in China. Therefore, the business at all stages from raw stones to jade articles has been very mature. There are circles for gambling on stones, circles for jade, and circles for finished jade. Among them, there are risks.
The biggest one is naturally the stone gambling circle.
But there is another type of people who transfer the risk of stone gambling to others. These people only purchase raw stone materials and do not know how to cut stones. After hoarding these materials for several years, they wait until the price is right before putting the materials into the market. Song Jun
Boss Hema belongs to this group of people, and the reason why the price of jadeite wool keeps rising has something to do with their capital injection.
According to Song Jun, at this Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, two domestic giants will appear. Due to the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy, these non-bank funds have entered jade and jade investments.
In the field, compared with the financial market, investing in the stone gambling industry is more exciting, and if you are lucky, the returns will be greater.
Moreover, compared with the foreign collection market, China's similar market is still underdeveloped and will have greater potential in the future. It has been rumored in the stone gambling circle recently that a buyer from outside the industry in Thailand recently invested 13 million yuan to buy something in China.
Got a batch of jade.
"Brother Song, how much money have you prepared this time? Then you will also bring your younger brother to follow behind to take advantage of it."
Zhuang Rui was joking with Song Jun while driving. Since Song Jun's flight was delayed, it was already past five o'clock and it was time to eat. The fourth child arranged for a seafood hotel in Guangzhou. Zhuang Rui is now
Take Song Jun there directly and rest after eating.
"Brother, you also want to stock up? This thing is very expensive. If the market is not good, you may lose it." Song Jun said with a smile on his face.
"Come on, just because you and Fatty Ma rushed over so quickly, you must have made a profit without losing any money. If you don't want to play with me, just say so." Zhuang Rui didn't accept Song Jun's trick. There was an age difference between the two of them.
Now that they are more than ten years old, they can be regarded as friends who have been together for many years. Zhuang Rui and Song Jun have always been very direct when talking to each other.
"Brother, are you serious? You really want to enter the market?"
Song Jun became serious when he heard this. He called Zhuang Rui to attend the stone gambling meeting. He just wanted to frame the painting of Tang Bohu. He promised to show Zhuang Rui the stone gambling scene, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Rui would also do it.
I had the idea of making a fortune in the jade wool market.
In fact, Song Jun had a high opinion of Zhuang Rui. With Zhuang Rui's current net worth, the total sum is only more than 9 million yuan. At best, it can only buy one or two pieces of wool with good performance. He simply does not have the strength to hoard wool.
, waiting for prices to rise.
What Zhuang Rui meant by saying this was just to inoculate Song Jun in advance. Since he didn't have enough funds on hand, Zhuang Rui thought that if there was any raw material that he liked, and he was short of funds, he could borrow one or two from Song Jun.
of.
But of course this cannot be said clearly, otherwise Song Jun will be suspicious. How can you be so sure that the material you are interested in can bet on a rise?
Zhuang Rui thought for a while and said: "Brother Song, I only have more than 9 million on hand now. You also know this. Your appetite is too big for me to get involved. But when you go to see the wool, you can
I'll just bring it with me. Firstly, I'll follow you to see what's going on, and secondly, if there are cheap woolen materials that you don't like, I'll pick them up too."
Among Zhuang Rui's more than 9 million, more than 8 million was Song Jun's money to buy paintings. He naturally knew it. He readily agreed to Zhuang Rui's request. He owed this little brother a favor in the first place.
It's nothing to show him.
After Master Peng heard Zhuang Rui's words, he sat back and looked at Zhuang Rui a few more times. He didn't expect that Zhuang Rui was so young and had a lot of money, but in his heart, he had already classified Zhuang Rui as a
Some princes or rich second generations have it.
Some friends saw this and said, at the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, the woolen materials were all placed there, and each piece of woolen material had a number on it. If you like it, you can naturally bid. Why should Song Jun lead it?
Zhuang Rui has hands and feet, so he can't see it by himself.
This is true. There are generally two ways to sell woolen materials at the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference. One is the bidding opening. There may be many people bidding for a piece of woolen material, and the one with the highest price wins. The other is organized by some merchants themselves.
At the Stone Gambling Venue, you can cut stones on-site, but people entering and leaving here must have a certain financial foundation or reputation, and individual visitors are not allowed to enter casually.
The meaning of Zhuang Rui's words above was not that he wanted Song Jun to take him into this stone gambling place. With the name of the ancient master, Zhuang Rui could enter even in public situations. The reason why he asked Song Jun to take him into this place.
The purpose of wearing a military belt is to go to those private places that even the old man cannot go to.
Most of the merchants who sell jadeite wool in Pingzhou rent warehouses locally, or many of them are locals who live in Pingzhou. In addition to taking out some wool to invest in the stone gambling competition, these people often also hoard some.
Woolen materials are being sold at a high price, and the targets of their sales are people with relatively strong financial resources, such as Song Jun. They often have specific relationships and take these people to their homes or warehouses to view the goods.
In Pingzhou, there are always some jade wool brokers. Brokers are the name in ancient times or before liberation. Nowadays, only a few industries still use this name. Other industries are called intermediaries or brokers.
People, brokers generally do not set up their own shops, but communicate between buyers and sellers "only with words and feet". They are not responsible for the profits and losses of the transactions between both parties. As long as the transaction is completed, they can receive a certain percentage of the money.
commission.
The brokers in Pingzhou have some buyer information and familiar customers. They invite these foreign merchants to the woolen merchants' homes to view the goods. If a deal is reached, these brokers can get a sum of money from the woolen merchants.
The commission was expensive, but with Zhuang Rui's strength, he would not be targeted by these jade brokers, so he asked Song Jun to take him there.
This idea was actually given to Zhuang Rui by Mr. Gu. He knew that Zhuang Rui wanted to see more raw materials, so he told Zhuang Rui such a place. However, although Mr. Gu was highly respected, he would not be a gambler for any merchant.
Consultant Stone, secondly, he doesn't bother to go to these underground stone gambling places, so naturally no broker will invite him.
When eating last night, Fatty Ma insisted on paying for the host, and he actually revealed his intention to take Zhuang Rui to the homes of those wool merchants to see the goods. However, in comparison, Zhuang Rui still had more contact with Song Jun. At that time,
He didn't comment, he didn't say he would go, and he didn't say he wouldn't go.
After Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he also understood and said cheerfully: "Okay, you are a good boy. Within a few days of coming here, you even found out the secrets. Someone asked me to look at the materials in the evening.
Let’s go after eating and taking a rest in a while.”
"okay……"
Zhuang Rui was happy when he heard this. The old man said that Song Jun had connections, and it was indeed true.
Song Jun saw Zhuang Rui's face full of joy and said: "Brother, don't be too happy first. I have to explain some things clearly to you, otherwise you may offend others."
"Ah? There is an explanation for this, Brother Song, you said..." Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment.
"Actually, it's nothing. In such an occasion, the person looking at the wool is definitely not our family, there may be some other people. There is an unwritten rule in this industry, that is, when others are looking at a piece of wool, you cannot ask the price first.
…”
"I know this. We have to wait until others are dissatisfied or give up before we can see it, right?" Upon hearing this, Zhuang Rui interrupted Song Jun. Someone had already taught him this rule.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've made a lot of progress. But Brother Zhuang, I heard what I said, luck plays a big part in stone betting, and you don't have a lot of money on hand. Take your time and pick up some small things when the time comes.
Play with the stuff you ordered, but don’t get addicted to it.”
Song Jun teased Zhuang Rui at first, but his face immediately turned serious. He was really afraid that Zhuang Rui would be impulsive and gamble all his wealth. The water for gambling on jade stones is very deep, let alone more than 9 million, it is only nine.
It’s not impossible to bet tens of millions on defeat.
