Chapter 447: Clearly Marked (4)
"Hey, sir, please take your seat according to your number plate..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui sat down, he was greeted by someone, and a staff member who spoke proficient Chinese came over.
"Aren't you allowed to sit casually?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. At Pingzhou, if you go early, you can get a seat, but if you go late, you can only stand. So Zhuang Rui has been waiting here, but he didn't expect to have to check his seat.
"Of course you can't sit casually. Each auction hall here can only accommodate 100 people to participate in the auction. If you arrive late and don't apply for a number plate, you won't be able to participate..."
The staff looked at Zhuang Rui's number plate, and then led him to the front row of chairs. Zhuang Rui's number plate was 8, and he was among the first people to enter the auction hall.
"Damn, is there such a thing?"
Zhuang Rui was depressed in his heart. It seems that at three o'clock tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he must calculate the auction site for the giant red jade and apply for the number plate. Otherwise, if he is not even qualified for the auction, then it will be
What a loss.
In fact, this Myanmar Jade Trading Center is considered a relatively luxurious building in Myanmar. It has a huge venue and a large auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people. The air-conditioning is very sufficient, and there is no feeling of heat outside at all.
"Well, what is this?"
After Zhuang Rui sat down in the front row, he found that there was an object similar to a credit card machine placed on the handle of the chair, with an electronic screen and buttons 1-10 on the panel. The handle of the chair next to him was also specially made.
, there is a buckle that can fix this object.
"Hey, Brother Zhuang, you don't even know this, so you come to the auction house?"
Behind Zhuang Rui, he suddenly remembered Yang Hao's laughter. When he looked back, Yang Hao and his uncle happened to be sitting in the row behind him. They were playing with the thing stuck on the handle. Zhuang Rui looked around.
After a while, I discovered that there was one of these things at every seat.
"Brother Yang, what is this thing for? What is its function?"
Zhuang Rui asked quickly, what if the filming started later and he was still confused. If the ice material was taken away by someone, he would have died unjustly.
Yang Hao chuckled, held up a pamphlet in his hand, and said, "Brother Zhuang, when you received your number plate just now, you were given a pamphlet like this. You will understand after reading it..."
"Huh? It's really..."
Zhuang Rui just thought that what he was given was some kind of promotional material, so he put the pamphlet into his handbag. After digging it out, he saw several languages written on the cover of the pamphlet.
Four words of "Auction Instructions".
"It's really advanced..."
After Zhuang Rui read the booklet with only two sheets of paper, he couldn't help but sigh. The number plate given to him by Daqing was just for seating. It was not like a movie or an auction he had participated in before. Raise your hand.
bidding.
The thing that Zhuang Rui didn't understand is called a bidder. The process of the open-mark auction depends entirely on the bidder at hand. This is a set of electronic programs developed and designed abroad by Myanmar specifically for open-mark auctions.
.
When the bidding begins, the woolen material numbers from 1 to 2000 will appear on the large electronic screen in the auction hall. Yes, it is 1 to 2000. It is not what Zhuang Rui thought. Each auction hall can only auction that number.
For 200 pieces of wool, as long as you are in the 10 auction halls, you can buy all the wool materials that are available for auction.
In other words, Zhuang Rui does not necessarily have to sit in the No. 1 auction hall. Even if he arrives late, as long as the number of people who apply for the auction is less than 1,000, he will have the opportunity to participate in the auction. In previous years, he came to Myanmar to participate in the public auction.
There are only more than 1,000 people, so there will basically not be problems such as insufficient space.
After the auction starts, the reserve price of that piece of wool will appear under each number that appears on the big screen.
If you like a piece of rough stone, you can first enter the number on the bidder in your hand, then press the space bar, and then enter the amount you want to bet. The numbers on the big screen will immediately follow your operations.
As for changes, the amount displayed on the big screen is always the highest bid.
In this way, there is no need for the auctioneer to pay anything. Everyone here can see the changes in betting and decide whether to increase the price according to their own needs.
In this booklet of auction instructions, one important point is also mentioned, that is, the auction time for all rough stone wool materials is two hours, that is, from three o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon. If the wool materials within this time are not available,
If someone makes a bid, it is equivalent to a failed bid. If someone makes a bid, the winning bidder will be the one with the highest bid at the end of the time.
It should be mentioned that all the unsold woolen materials will be auctioned again a week later. Some people who have not had time to sell them, or who are not optimistic at first but want to buy them later, will have another chance.
All bidders are connected to the computer. If you win the bid, the computer will calculate it immediately. When the auction is over, you can use your number plate to pay and collect the raw materials, or you can
Handle on-site consignment.
Of course, if you want to dismantle stones on the spot, the organizing committee is very welcome and will provide you with a full set of stone dissection tools. After all, dissecting stones on the spot will drive people's desire to buy, especially if the bets are going up.
After reading this booklet, Zhuang Rui suddenly realized. He was just thinking that there were 200 pieces of wool in each auction hall. If they were to be auctioned piece by piece manually, even if one piece was auctioned in three minutes, how much would it take?
The time spent is 600 minutes, a full 10 hours.
The marked auction time set by the conference is only from 3 to 5 pm every day. Only by using this auction method, can all the woolen materials be auctioned.
Zhuang Rui originally thought that the ten auction halls were divided into ten to speed up the auction. Now it seems that it may be for the convenience of bidding. After all, more than a thousand people are sitting together. It is estimated that even the people on the screen in the back are
I can't even see the price clearly.
"This is a good method..."
After reading the brochure, Zhuang Rui nodded and just kept an eye on bid No. 129 later. Moreover, there was another trick: there was no need to place a bet on the increase at the beginning. He only had to wait until the bidding time was about to end and enter the bid.
Just the price is higher than others.
Of course, Zhuang Rui is not the only one who has this idea. All the wool merchants here have this idea. It depends on who is quick and who offers the highest reserve price. It is estimated that those who are favored by others have the same idea.
At the last minute, there may be hundreds of people quoting the wool at the same time.
If you want to take pictures of several pieces of wool at the same time and eat them all at the last moment, you can only apply for a few more license plates and ask others to help. However, people who come to Myanmar are not alone. Like Qin Haoran and others, before
, all have a clear division of labor, and this problem can be easily solved.
Just when Zhuang Rui read the auction instructions, a short, thin, middle-aged man, under the guidance of the on-site staff, came to Hall 1 and walked straight to the main stage below the screen to sit down.
He came down and said: "My name is Hu Rong. This jade auction will be auctioned with open bids and I will be the supervisor. Now the auction begins. Please pay attention to the auction price and your bid. Thank you..."
The man named Hu Rong first said the above in Burmese, and then said it again in Chinese and English. He spoke very cleanly. Through the loudspeaker, Hu Rong's voice spread throughout the auction hall.
inside.
When he finished speaking, the big screen above his head flashed rapidly. White numbers from 1 to 2000 appeared densely on it. Corresponding to the numbers below, there was an obvious red base price. Zhuang Rui
I immediately saw the number 129, and the base price was 20,000 euros.
"I didn't expect that Master Hu would be the one to supervise this conference. The reputation of this conference is really quite big..."
When Zhuang Rui was about to look at several other prices he was paying attention to, Yang Hao's muttering sounded behind him.
"Yang Hao, who is Master Hu? The person sitting in front?"
Zhuang Rui was a little baffled by what he heard. The middle-aged man was very inconspicuous. He was about forty years old and looked a little older. He was wearing a traditional Chinese ancient thin silk brown short coat. In short, Zhuang Rui couldn't tell that.
How can a person have a trace of the master's demeanor?
At the beginning of the auction, everyone was very relaxed. For this auction, the last few minutes are the moment when the bayonet is red. Therefore, even if everyone is optimistic about the wool, they will not rush to do it, which will only attract the attention of others.
Attention is not worth the gain, so Zhuang Rui turned around and asked Yang Hao.
"Brother Zhuang, that person is not simple. He is Chinese from Burma. He is a big-money figure in the world's jade jewelry circle. I have seen his photos, but I didn't expect to see him here..."
When Yang Hao talked about that person, he looked very respectful. Zhuang Rui knew that for Chaozhou people, there are roughly two types of people they respect, one is richer than him, and the other is someone who has a lot of money.
People who have great achievements and are very hard-working, because Chaozhou people can be called the Jews of China by foreigners because of their tenacity and ability to endure hardships and stand hard work.
As Yang Hao narrated, Zhuang Rui's expression gradually became serious. This Burmese Chinese named Hu Rong is really not simple.
Hu Rong is not only the richest Chinese tycoon in Myanmar, he is also a famous jade designer. He is a designer rather than a designer. This is why Yang Hao calls him a master.
In addition, Hu Rong also has an extraordinary identity, which made Zhuang Rui speechless when he heard about it. That is, he is the owner of 18 jade mines in Myanmar.
