Chapter 222: The bid rises and the storm moves (11)
After the secret bid opening, the number of people at the stone gambling venue not only did not decrease, but actually increased a lot compared to the previous few days. For many people, the stone gambling conference has just begun.
In any jade public market, no special attention will be paid to the explicit bids. Most of the jade rough raw materials that perform well are classified as hidden bids. Whether it is outside funds who want to stock up or jade merchants who want to purchase jade raw materials,
Or the professional stone gambling group in Chaoshan area, their goals are all aimed at hidden targets.
The news coming from Myanmar about restricting the export of jadeite raw materials has also made this stone gambling conference a storm and an undercurrent. The sky-high price of a single bet of 66.6 million yuan for raw materials in the morning is the best proof.
.
Now many jade merchants are gathered at the stone gambling venue. Firstly, they pay the balance to receive the raw materials. Secondly, after the secret bidding, there must be a stone interpretation conference. The time for them to purchase raw materials has also arrived. After all, there are such a large number of people who gamble.
The purpose of jade is to sell jade, and these jade merchants are the largest consumer group.
Song Jun treated him to a treat at noon, and several of them drove to a famous seafood hotel in Guangzhou to have a big meal. The end of the hidden bid basically meant that the trip to Guangzhou was almost over for Zhuang Rui. In the afternoon, Jie Shi was again
There was no need for him to take action personally, so he simply ordered a few bottles of Wuliangye and drank them with Song Jun Weiwei and others.
"Zhuang Rui, could you help me talk to the wool seller and borrow their stone-breaking tools?"
After drinking and eating, Zhuang Rui and Song Jun were already five to six points drunk. Fortunately, Fatty Ma and Lao Si didn't drink. Then there were two more drivers. They had just arrived at the stone gambling venue. Zhuang Rui
Then I received a call from Lei Lei.
"Who sells wool?" Zhuang Rui was still a little dizzy at the moment.
"Is that the one whose surname is Yang? You and Dachuan bought his wool in Nanjing." The voice coming from Lei Lei's phone was a little anxious.
"Oh, it's Yang Hao. Just go to him and say he's my friend. He'll lend it to you. I'll go over now..." Zhuang Rui sobered up a bit when he heard Lei Lei wanted to untie the stone.
"Brother Song, my classmate wants to analyze the stone. Can you go over and take a look?" After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui asked Song Jun and Fatty Ma.
"No, Lao Song and I will go get the wool first. See how drunk he is. Don't make mistakes later."
No matter how interesting it is to watch others unravel stones, it's not as satisfying as doing it yourself. Fatty Ma is just waiting to receive the Big Mac wool and then do it himself.
In this venue, there are free stone-cutting and polishing tools provided by the conference. Of course, there is only one set. The Leilei family has gained a lot this time, so they want to untie the few pieces of wool that have average performance and bring back the rest.
In Hong Kong, there was already a long queue next to the stone dissection machine provided by the conference. Only then did Lei Lei think of Zhuang Rui.
The Leilei family also failed in the Burmese jade public sale in the past few months. If Liu Chuan hadn't happened to unpick a piece of ice-type wool in Nanjing, I am afraid that in the jewelry company opened by the Leilei family, the mid-to-high-end jadeite
The accessories were about to be out of stock. Qin Xuanbing originally wanted to buy the piece of wool, but later gave it to Lei Lei.
The reason why Liu Chuan and Leilei's marriage passed the test of Grandpa Leilei so smoothly has something to do with this incident.
For this Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, the Leilei family raised a total of more than 40 million yuan, just to purchase some raw materials to return to Hong Kong. Moreover, they have certain connections in Myanmar. Yesterday, they learned about Myanmar's news for the first time.
After hearing the news, we promptly changed the bid prices of the wool materials we invested, and we managed to get a total of thirteen pieces of wool materials that performed well. It was considered a worthwhile trip.
Zhuang Rui first went to the office set up by the bank with Song Jun and others, and transferred 9 million to Song Jun. Then he took Viagra and Laosi and walked slowly towards booth No. 83 where Yang Hao was.
go.
When he was still twenty or thirty meters away from Yang Hao's stall, Zhuang Rui saw that a circle of people had gathered there, and they should have started to work on the stone.
The hidden bid was opened today. People were dissecting stones almost everywhere, so there were not many people around here. Zhuang Rui and others squeezed in easily. As soon as they squeezed into the circle, they heard the people around them shout in unison.
Sigh.
"collapsed?"
Zhuang Rui did not look at the wool fixed on the stone dissolving machine first, but looked at the few people standing next to the stone dissolving machine. As expected, the faces of these people were not very good-looking, and Wei Zijiang even looked mournful.
His face and his eyes were fixed on the piece of wool on the stone dissolving machine.
Seeing Zhuang Rui come in, Lei Lei just nodded, but did not walk over. The woolen material that was untied just now was taken at a cost of 4.8 million yuan. It was cut from the middle. Although it was green, it was
Bean-type jadeite of average quality is only low-grade wool and is worth hundreds of thousands at most. It can be said that this piece of wool is a total loss.
"Take off a piece..."
Grandpa Leilei took a deep breath, straightened his back, and told his son that among these people, he was the only one who could hold his breath the most. He thought that he had smuggled himself from the mainland to Hong Kong alone and spent decades.
The ups and downs of the family business were ruined, and the losses of just a few million were not enough to hit him.
This time, Grandpa Leilei was going to untie nine of the thirteen pieces of wool that won the bid. However, he did not expect that the most expensive piece of the nine pieces would be unlucky and the untie would collapse. This made Leilei and others feel excited.
A bad premonition.
The second piece of wool weighs about seventy or eighty kilograms, and it also has a skylight. The performance of the skylight is not very good. Although the green color is cut out, and the water head exposed outside is not bad, it can reach the level of ice, but with the
It's green and has a cracked lock.
It seems that this piece of wool is cracked. There is no need to rub the stone with such wool. Just cut the crack directly. If there is material or not, it will be cut immediately.
"Cut from the split?"
The person who unraveled the stone was Leilei's uncle. He was born after Leilei's grandfather went to Hong Kong. He was only in his forties and in his prime. After asking his father, he pointed the grinder in his hand at the piece of wool.
The crack was cut.
"It's gone up, it's gone green, alas, what a pity."
The sharp-eyed people in the crowd have already seen the cut surface. There is green inside, but the crack is a bit deep, destroying the jadeite inside. The jadeite that could have been hugged into a ball is now scattered, only enough to make some small ones.
It’s a pendant.
You must know that jade jewelry is also divided into categories. Usually bracelets are the most expensive, not to mention those glass full of green or blood jade bracelets, but also bracelets made of high-ice sun green or floating jade materials. As long as they are
If the water is good and the color is right, it can usually be sold for more than 500,000 or 600,000 RMB, but a pendant made of the same material can only cost around 100,000 RMB or 200,000 at most. There is a huge difference between the two.
"Fortunately, no compensation, let's continue..."
Grandpa Leilei's expression remained unchanged. This piece of wool cost 680,000 yuan. Although the jadeite inside cannot be taken out as a bracelet, you can still take out two or three kilograms and carve out the finished product for sale. You should not lose money.
.
"Leilei, where is your piece of wool?"
Zhuang Rui turned behind Lei Lei and asked in a low voice. He noticed that there was no piece of wool containing high-ice jadeite on the ground.
"It stinks so bad. What did you men drink at noon? Don't let us Dachuan get spoiled in the future." Lei Lei asked about the smell of wine in Zhuang Rui's mouth and moved a few steps forward.
"Am I leading him astray? Forget it, that kid drank nothing in the morning, let alone at noon." Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded by what Lei Lei said. Liu Chuan loves to drink. Liu Chuan has been stealing alcohol since he was a child.
Drink and get beaten.
"You came just in time, help me get the wool. I didn't have time to pay the balance just now." Although there are small carts to carry the wool at the venue, but with Zhuang Rui, a ready-made strong man, Lei Lei naturally wants to
Caught.
After Zhuang Rui accompanied Lei Lei to pay the balance and returned to Yang Hao's stall with the fifty or sixty kilogram piece of wool, he found three more pieces of wool cut in half on the ground, and Uncle Lei Lei and
Wei Zijiang's face also became more and more ugly. Needless to say, when they left, they cut three pieces of wool in succession.
The total value of the nine pieces of wool is more than 20 million. Now five pieces have been cut, and only one piece can barely guarantee the bottom line. For Lei's jewelry, which is in a bad situation, it can be said to be worse. Even Lei Lei, who has always been very calm,
Grandpa's face also became a little pale.
"Grandpa, let me untie it first. This is the wool I took myself." Lei Lei walked to her grandfather and took one of the old man's arms.
"Leilei, don't mess around. Wait until I finish untying it before you untie it."
Before Grandpa Leilei could say anything, her uncle said with a worried look on his face, and cut off several pieces of wool one after another. Although he couldn't be said to be angry, he didn't look good either.
"Maybe I can cut the price, but if you want to buy it then I won't necessarily sell it." Lei Lei was not afraid of this uncle, and shook her grandfather's arm, as if she would not give up until he agreed.
Grandpa Leilei doted on Leilei very much and said: "Let Leilei take care of it first. If you can bet on this girl, it will go up, so there is nothing wrong with grandpa spending money to buy it."
"Zhuang Rui, come and help me, help me move it up..." Lei Lei's words made Zhuang Rui smile bitterly. He didn't care about the rocks he shot, but he became a helper here.
"Zhuang Rui, how do you cut this?"
After the wool was moved to the stone cutting machine, Lei Lei looked at Zhuang Rui with a sad face.
"There is a handle. Can't you just cut it on the stone? Why bother asking?" Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes and replied angrily.
"No, I mean where to cut it."
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, and that was true. The jadeite in this piece of wool was not big. If it was cut properly, it could produce three pairs of bracelets. If it was not cut correctly, the value would drop sharply.
"After all this, why does this piece of stone still need to be so delicate?"
Zhuang Rui picked up a piece of chalk, looked at the crowd outside, and casually drew a line on the piece of wool with his right hand. His careless look made Lei Lei stomp her feet in anger.
