The 218th chapter starts, the situation moves (seven)
Chapter 218: The bid rises and the situation is turbulent (7)
As twelve o'clock approaches at noon, the number of people at the stone gambling venue gradually becomes less and less. Apart from the armed police and security guards with live ammunition, there are already very few people selecting woolen materials. Even the woolen material bosses in various stalls
They all stayed alone to look after the stalls and ran away without a trace.
"Damn it, the organizer of this stone betting convention is too petty. Why don't they buy more air conditioners? Grandma's is too hot for me."
Fatty Ma kept wiping his sweat with a towel, and looked at the people sitting on the rostrum in the front row with resentment. The place where those people sat was facing the air vent of the air conditioner.
This bid opening site is also in the woolen materials venue, which was converted from a closed warehouse. In front of the rostrum, there are ten chairs in a row, more than thirty rows, and more than half of the people are standing in the aisles on both sides of the seats.
Here, waiting for the opening of the secret bid for gambling materials.
In fact, there are three or four air conditioners installed here, but the space is too big and they don't work at all.
Zhuang Rui, Fatty Ma and Song Jun are now waiting at the bidding opening venue of the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference. They arrived early and grabbed a seat. Sitting next to Zhuang Rui was Lei Lei and her
Grandpa and uncle, as for Lei Lei's cousin Wei Zijiang, can only enjoy the treatment of standing in the aisle.
Zhou Rui just took Bai Shi back to the hotel. Now in this situation, Bai Shi is not suitable here.
"By the way, Lei Lei, I forgot to tell you. The price of the wool at this stone gambling conference is likely to increase. You may not be able to get your piece of wool for 130,000 yuan."
Zhuang Rui only found out about this matter this morning, and then he was busy queuing up to bid. Only now did he remember that he had forgotten to tell Lei Lei about it.
"Waiting for you to tell me, the day lily is already cold. I put a bid of 180,000 yuan for that piece of wool. What do you think? I should be able to get it at this price, right?"
Lei Lei had a little pride on her face. She went to bid alone. The reason was very simple. Her grandfather and uncle did not support her, so she had to put up a deposit of 18,000 and bid for the piece of wool.
Zhuang Rui nodded, but did not speak. He had no idea in his heart. Who knows how high the increase in woolen materials will be this time. Judging from the madness at the bidding site just now, I am afraid that except for those woolen material merchants, there are no other people in the world.
Among the remaining people, there won't be many winners.
Looking at Song Jun who was sitting upright next to him, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered the topic from the morning. He couldn't help turning his face and asked Song Jun: "Brother Song, it seems to me that there are probably 40% of people who gamble on stones."
, none of them are engaged in the jade business, are they all just hoarding and investing like you and Brother Ma?"
After Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui's question, he said with disdain: "Their hoarding of shit is just to take advantage. If the bet goes up, it will be a huge profit. There is no need to pay taxes when buying and selling this thing, which is better than doing traditional business."
Much more cost-effective…”
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment and realized that this was really the case. Since stone gambling entered the country, apart from charging a nominal tariff for entering customs through normal channels (it is said that these are broken stones and cannot be charged a few tariffs), the rest
Transactions without any fees.
I don’t know why, but there has never been a clear statement on the taxation of both parties involved in stone gambling. As a result, many people in the traditional industry have gotten involved, which has resulted in today’s slightly abnormal prosperity of stone gambling.
However, this situation should not last long. The country cannot watch this area of tax revenue being lost in vain. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, so while there is no explanation yet, we will extend our tentacles into this field.
Even if you don't do it for a long time, if you just grab a handful and run away, it's still a profit.
"Ahem..." The voice of the microphone rang out from the microphone at the front desk, and the noisy bid opening venue suddenly became quiet.
"Dear friends and distinguished guests, the secret bid opening of the 2004 Pingzhou Jade Bidding Fair..."
At this point, the middle-aged man on the stage looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated and continued: "Because there are too many temporary changes to the bottom of the bid, it is troublesome to count, so the secret bid opening will be postponed for half an hour..."
Hearing these words, the audience roared like thunder. Some were dissatisfied, some understood, some cursed, and some disapproved of it. They were all living beings.
However, the arms could not twist the thighs. After everyone made a noise, they could only stay here and wait for the opening of the bid. If you are not happy with it, that’s okay. If you turn your body back, you can see the door. People here are eager to walk a little longer.
, it won't be so crowded.
"Isn't this a joke..." Zhuang Rui was speechless.
"Hey, why are you so anxious? Even if others use computer statistics, the data still has to be entered manually. Zhuang Rui, it seems that you have submitted a lot of bids, right?" Song Jun saw Zhuang Rui's impatient look,
Said with a smile.
"There aren't many copies, and my bidding price is relatively low. What about you, Brother Song?" Zhuang Rui casually turned the topic to Song Jun.
"I put in more than two hundred bids, but it's hard to say how many I will win. There were many bids that I didn't have time to change due to lack of time."
Song Jun's words made Zhuang Rui speechless. He originally thought that he had cast more than fifty bids, which was a lot. He didn't expect that others would cast hundreds of bids. But thinking about it, Song Jun's purpose of coming here this time was...
They are just hoarding wool. If they don’t cast the net wider, they won’t be able to catch fish at all.
"It's a bit late for us to enter this industry. I heard that in the past few years, you could get these woolen materials at a slightly higher price than the lowest price. Now you can't even tell if it's double the price. It depends on other people's asking prices.
It also depends on whether the owner of the woolen material is happy or not. We have missed a good opportunity."
Fatty Ma felt a little resentful that he had not been involved in this field in the past few years.
Song Jun said disapprovingly: "Come on, if you had started playing with wool a few years ago, I'm afraid the price would have doubled."
"The bidding is about to open..."
Zhuang Rui suddenly became nervous when he heard a "buzzing" sound coming from the two large speakers that were as tall as a person next to him. Not only him, but also the originally noisy warehouse immediately became silent.
After a while, the entire bid opening scene was filled with the sound of the microphone being adjusted.
"I'm sorry to keep my friends waiting for so long. The secret bidding opening of the Pingzhou Jade Bidding Meeting has officially begun."
The voice just sounded. Fortunately, the bid opening was announced directly without a speech from the leader. The hidden bid opening was based on the number of the wool, starting with bid No. 1.
"Bid No. 1 is 7.5 million yuan, winning bid number is 580. Congratulations to this friend."
"Bid No. 2, 4,365,000 yuan, winning bid number 23, congratulations."
"Bid No. 3, 11.88 million yuan, winning bid number 198, congratulations."
"Bid No. 4, 2.55 million yuan, winning bid number 68..."
"Bid No. 5, 9,888,000 yuan, winning bid number 568..."
…
With the sound coming from the speakers, the entire bid opening scene became silent. The first five bids were opened, which made everyone in the venue stunned. Only five bids were opened, and tens of millions appeared.
The bottom bids are all over one million, which is really a bit crazy.
Then the silence was broken by someone who didn't know who. The whole scene was like cold water poured into a hot oil pan. There was a loud explosion and discussions everywhere. Even the sound of the speakers reading the bids was covered up. On the stage
The person holding the microphone looked at the audience with some confusion, and temporarily stopped opening the bid.
Zhuang Rui knew that the order of the markings was based on the performance of the skylight opened by the wool. He still vaguely remembered the No. 3 piece of wool, which was about 40 kilograms of semi-finished wool. The skylight was made of glass, with a water head.
The transparency is very good, but the color is a little light, so it can only be regarded as top-quality wool.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui once looked through the inside of that piece of wool and found that at most about three kilograms of jadeite could be found inside. It was also very scattered and not suitable for making bracelets. In this case, its value would be greatly reduced. It would cost more than 10 million yuan.
The price is just based on how many pendants, rings and other accessories can be made into. I'm afraid the person who took the picture of this piece of wool will have to pay it back to his grandma's house.
The minimum bid for this bid was 1 million, and Zhuang Rui also put in a bid. His bid was 1.2 million. Although he knew that he had little hope of winning the bid, he never expected that the final winning bid price would be higher than
The price he paid was ten times higher. With his little money, he was not even qualified to give it to others.
It seems that the news from Myanmar will have a huge impact on Pingzhou's stone gambling conference. Zhuang Rui really can't imagine how the winning bidder can make back such an investment regardless of the cost. I'm afraid
After the man got the raw material, he didn't dare to easily dismantle the stone. He either kept it in his hands or resold it, otherwise, no matter what he did, it would be a loss.
"This...isn't this too fucking outrageous?"
Song Jun, who had always behaved very calmly, was a little out of sorts at this moment, mumbling to himself, with an incredible expression on his face.
"It seems that those who want to enter the jade business circle in the future will not be able to continue playing without strong funds."
Fatty Ma's words rang out, and several people around him nodded. Leilei's grandfather and uncle even looked bitter. They must have also bid for these pieces of wool, and the results can be seen from their faces.
.
"Brother Ma, do you think we can win the bid for the wool we bid for?" Facing such a crazy bid, Zhuang Rui lost all confidence in his heart.
"It should be... ok, don't be in a hurry, take a look and then talk, take a look first..."
Fatty Ma kept wiping his sweat with a towel and lost his usual confidence in his tone.
