"The outer skin is brownish black, slightly yellowish, which looks like wool from the old mine of Damukan Factory. However, Mr. Zhuang, most of the wool from Damukan Factory is mostly variegated jadeite, although it also produces top grade red.
Fei, but..."
After Master Peng squatted on the ground and watched for a while, he stood up and expressed his own opinions, but he only spoke half of the words. It was obvious that he didn't think much of this big guy.
Although the price of 1,000 yuan per kilogram is indeed not expensive, the wool is too big to hold up. Calculated at 50 kilograms, it would cost 50,000 yuan.
"Is this broken stone really made of wool? The kind that can produce jade?"
Zhuang Rui's words made everyone present lose their voices. There is no instrument in the world that can see through the outer layer of wool, and no one dares to guarantee that which piece of wool will contain jadeite. The reason why it is said to be gambling on stones is
Here it is.
"It is indeed wool from the old mine of Damukan Factory, but it is hard to say whether it can be used to extract jadeite." Master Peng said truthfully.
"Little brother, I'm not lying to you. We have been in the woolen fabric business for almost twenty years, and our reputation is well-known."
Boss Yu had just taken a breath. If it weren't for the piece of gambling material worth more than 100,000 yuan, he would not bother to talk nonsense with Zhuang Rui.
"But, why do I always feel so worried about spending money to buy a piece of waste stone? Well, boss Yu, that piece of wool costs 6,000 yuan per kilogram, so I won't bargain with you, but this piece
The wool material you are talking about is a tie-in. It costs 500 yuan per kilogram, so I will take both yuan. I will go back to find a place to untie it and treat it as a practice."
Zhuang Rui's face showed a very calm expression, just like normal business bargaining, without any fluctuation in his expression.
"Okay, Lao Yu, I had a big loss sale today."
Boss Yu gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhuang Rui's offer. The piece of wool used as a tie-in weighed more than 110 kilograms. He had kept it for seven or eight years. During this period, at least fifty or sixty people looked at it.
However, after one glance, he was no longer interested. Boss Yu originally had the idea of untying it himself, but that also meant that the risk would be borne by him. This was a taboo for wool merchants, so he stayed
So far, if it is cheaper to deal with it now, he can be regarded as having settled his worries.
"The whole woolen fabric of Damukan factory weighs 58 kilograms and costs 29,000 yuan. The total woolen fabric of Pagang weighs 26 kilograms and costs 156,000 yuan. Adding the two together, the total is 185,000 yuan.
Thousand dollars, little brother, am I right?"
Boss Yu calculated the price of two pieces of wool on the calculator, but he didn't make much from these two pieces of wool, so he didn't say anything about erasing the change from the five thousand yuan.
"That's right, Brother Song, do you come first or me?"
Zhuang Rui nodded, took out his bank card from his wallet, and turned to ask Song Jun.
"You brat, you are rushing to give money to others, you go first..."
Song Jun glared at Zhuang Rui angrily. In his opinion, the two pieces of wool Zhuang Rui bought, whether for stockpiling or stone excavation, had no room for appreciation. They were just two pieces of money-losing goods.
"Hey, Brother Song, you don't know, after that boy from Dachuan made more than ten million, he was talking to me on the phone all day long. I also made a piece of material worth tens of millions to piss him off."
Zhuang Rui walked to the table with a naive smile, swiped his card and entered the amount of 185,000 yuan. After entering the password, the transaction was completed, and the two pieces of wool under his feet were completely intact.
It belongs to Zhuang Rui.
Card swiping transactions are much more convenient than cash transactions. At least Song Jun's more than two million yuan must be in cash. I'm afraid it will take several hours to count the money. While waiting for Song Jun to swipe his card, Zhuang Rui took out his money.
When the mobile phone arrived, I called Zhou Rui and told him the house number of Boss Yu's store and asked him to drive his Grand Cherokee over.
"What's the matter, are you still going to put these two pieces of wool in the car and take them back?" Song Jun asked with a surprised look on his face after hearing Zhuang Rui's call.
"Yeah, I don't have anywhere to put it, so I'll put it in the car first. The hotel's security system is also good. Besides, with his size, he can't steal it without two people." Zhuang Rui replied matter-of-factly.
After Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he said dumbfounded: "Do you know there is such a thing as consignment in this world? You kid can't afford the consignment money?"
Zhuang Rui really didn't know that these woolen materials could be checked in. He thought that these items were so valuable that the buyers would definitely rent a car to take them back, but he didn't expect that they could be checked in.
Pingzhou has a dedicated logistics company to handle the business of these wool merchants. No matter how expensive the wool is, they dare to take over the shipping procedures, but the shipping fee is also ridiculously high. Of course, if the wool is lost, they will also follow the shipping instructions.
The insured value is compensated.
"Forget it, I have to drive back anyway. These two pieces of wool are not that big, so let's just pull them back together. Maybe I can untie them here when I am happy in the next two days."
Zhuang Rui thought for a while and decided to take the wool back by himself. Firstly, he was a little worried about letting the logistics company consign the woolen material worth hundreds of millions. Secondly, he wanted to collect the wool when there were more people.
If you can wipe it with green woolen material underneath the surface, it would be ideal.
"It's up to you..." Song Jun didn't take the more than 100,000 yuan of wool seriously.
"Come... come, some bosses, come and have some watermelon, it's so hot today."
After the business was done, Boss Yu called his wife to bring over a plate of watermelon. The weather in Guangdong in June was already as high as 35 degrees. Even with the air conditioner turned on, everyone was still sweating profusely while eating the frozen watermelon.
, it is indeed much cooler.
After eating the watermelon, Boss Yu made another call. This time he asked someone from the logistics company to come and handle the shipping procedures. Due to the special nature of the stone gambling transaction, some logistics companies come to collect goods 24 hours a day. Compared with
Shipping in the Mainland is much more convenient and flexible.
"Boss Yu, please open the door, my car is here."
Several people moved the woolen materials onto the cart, and as soon as they pulled it to the yard and laid it out, there was the sound of parking outside the door, and then Zhuang Rui's cell phone rang.
"Okay, here we go." Boss Yu first locked the warehouse door, walked to the door and looked through the peephole, and then opened his own door.
As soon as the door opened, a white shadow rushed past Boss Yu. Boss Yu was so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell. Looking back, he saw a Tibetan Mastiff as big as a calf rushing toward Zhuang Rui.
"This...this, Dahuang, Erhuang, come on!"
Boss Yu's reaction was very quick, and he immediately called his two wolf dogs to help Zhuang Rui. However, he found that his two Kunming dogs, which had always been very brave, were hiding at the base of the wall with their tails between their legs.
Then, when I looked at Zhuang Rui, I happened to see the Tibetan Mastiff, extending its tongue affectionately and licking Zhuang Rui's face.
"I was shocked, grandma, you two beasts usually eat a lot of meat, but at the critical moment you fall off the chain, you are worthless things."
Boss Yu patted his chest. At this moment, he also knew that this Tibetan Mastiff should be raised by Zhuang Rui. But when he looked at his two wolf dogs, he couldn't help but feel depressed. They are both dogs, why are they so far apart?
.
"Haha, Boss Yu, I'm jealous of that Tibetan mastiff. Did you know that other people have paid 40 million RMB, but that guy can't even sell it." Song Jun looked at the size of the white lion and was a little surprised.
After a month has passed, the size of the white lion is no longer much different from that of an adult Tibetan mastiff.
"Forty million? Be good..."
After Boss Yu, Mustache and Master Peng heard this, they looked at the man and the dog with much more serious eyes, and their evaluation of Zhuang Rui in their hearts was infinitely higher.
"Brother Zhou, help me put this piece of wool in the car."
Zhuang Rui greeted Zhou Rui, who came in next, and the two of them struggled to lift the piece of wool, which weighed more than fifty kilograms, and walked outside the gate.
"What? Don't you put it in the trunk?"
Zhou Rui asked strangely when he saw that Zhuang Rui did not open the trunk, but opened the back door.
"Put it in the middle of the car. This stone is not light."
Zhuang Rui found a bad excuse and got into the car. He first lifted up the rear seat, then put the piece of wool under the seat, and then put the seat back. Because of the cloth cover on the seat,
The cover cannot be seen from the outside at all, and there is a stone weighing fifty or sixty kilograms placed under the seat.
"You kid, you are so careful when dealing with such a broken rock."
After Song Jun came out and saw it, he shook his head disapprovingly.
"Broken stone, if you knew the red jade inside, I'm afraid you wouldn't think so."
Zhuang Rui didn't answer. After looking around the Grand Cherokee, he felt relieved. Unless someone stole the car along with it, no one would know about it except the few people present.
There was also a piece of wool hidden in the car.
After placing the red jade wool, Zhuang Rui carried the more than 20 kilograms of Pagan wool into the trunk. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to wipe the piece of wool and get rid of it as soon as possible.
Several people waited in the yard for a while, and people from the logistics company that Boss Yu called also came. After taking photos of Song Jun's pieces of wool and sealing them and going through the relevant procedures, they all moved them into the car and took them away.
"Xiao Linzi, find a more cheerful boss next time. This one is really a bit too ink-stained."
After walking out of Boss Yu's house and onto Jade Street, Song Jun took out more than a dozen pink old people's heads from his handbag and handed them to the broker Mustache.
After Mustache took the money, he said repeatedly: "I will definitely satisfy Boss Song next time. I will call you after I have made arrangements tomorrow."
"No, I will charge you this money next time when the dealer wants to see the goods alone."
Seeing Song Jun's actions, Zhuang Rui also counted out a thousand dollars and handed it to Mustache, but Mustache pushed him back and handed Zhuang Rui a business card with his contact information on it.
"Brother Song, this person doesn't have much wool at home. Have they all saved the good wool and prepared to participate in the stone gambling competition?"
Half an hour later, Song Jun and Zhuang Rui, who had returned to the room and took a shower, sat in the hotel cafe. The reason was that Song Jun wanted to talk to his little brother more and he didn't want to see it.
Zhuang Rui put all his hopes of buying a villa into gambling on stones.
"The boss here has a lot of good stuff at his disposal. He has two warehouses like the one just now. He is considered a "big business" and must be one of the unpopular people in Myanmar."
Song Jun chuckled and said disapprovingly.
"What does this have to do with Myanmar?" Zhuang Rui asked strangely.
"Nonsense, of course it has something to do with Myanmar. Myanmar has relatively strict rules for rough jade stones, requiring that rough stones must be sold through the stone gambling conference. However, good rough stones have already been sold by many Chinese people before the stone gambling conference was held in Myanmar.
The buyer next to me fell in love with it.
Every "big player" involved in the trading of raw stones and wool must have a secret channel of its own that can bypass Myanmar customs. Because really good rough stones will not participate in the stone gambling conference in Yangon, so some people will take risks and steal them.
According to Myanmar's regulations, good rough stones are shipped to China in advance instead of participating in the stone gambling conference. According to Myanmar's regulations, this is smuggling. Boss Yu is probably one of these people.
In fact, the price of jade in China has been driven up by these Pingzhou wool merchants, so we entered the market too late..."
After listening to Song Jun's words, Zhuang Rui finally understood the true situation of Pingzhou's stone gambling. It was much more complicated than he originally imagined.
Originally, in the 1980s, jadeite was not worth much in Myanmar because the jade culture only existed in China. Later, businessmen from Pingzhou discovered the jade from Myanmar and secretly transported it to China, where they commanded high prices.
However, a few years ago, several Chinese who monopolized the Pingzhou market experienced uneven distribution of interests. Someone exposed this matter, and the Myanmar government began to seriously investigate.
Since then, Myanmar has required gambling stones to enter the trading hall in Yangon before they can be traded. Therefore, companies that import rough stones are no longer as ostentatious as in the past. However, due to the channels left in the past, people who specialize in rough stone smuggling are still
They will gather in Pingzhou. These smuggling companies have established personal connections in Myanmar and directly use cars to transport goods.
Although there are still certain risks in the smuggling of rough stones, once they are successfully transported to the country, it is basically a sure profit.
"By the way, brother, listen to what Brother Song said, this gambling stone has always reported good news but not bad news. All you hear is news about betting gains, but people like this type who gamble and lose everything are even more rare.
.
The last time you were with Dachuan, it was just good luck, but this luck can't follow you again and again, right? You can buy these two stones as soon as you buy them. You should do less in the future and stop in moderation."
After the two chatted for a while, Song Jun remembered his purpose of asking Zhuang Rui to sit down for a while, and spoke earnestly to persuade him.
