Four hundred and fifty-one - four hundred and fifty-two chapters clearly marked (eight)
After these procedures were completed, when Zhuang Rui left, he was "sent" away by two Burmese soldiers with actual weapons and nuclear weapons. Zhuang Rui's heart was beating "bang bang". He participated in the auction and was killed by the soldiers.
Escort was the first time for him.
Walking from the auction house to the entrance of the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center, you need to pass through the rough stone area. Zhuang Rui discovered that in the originally bustling place, except for groups of patrolling soldiers, there was no longer a wool merchant.
, but it has already been cleared.
"Brother Zhuang, come out..."
Walking out of the gate of the Jade Trading Center, Zhuang Rui saw Peng Fei coming up to him, while Qin Haoran and his wife were standing not far away, with the minibus that brought them here in the morning parked next to them.
When Qin Haoran saw Zhuang Rui coming out, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the hotel and have dinner together in the evening..."
After getting on the bus, since Zhuang Rui was not there, Song Jun and Fatty Ma were too embarrassed to take the bus. They had already followed the bus provided by the organizing committee back to the hotel. On the bus were Zhuang Rui, Peng Fei, Qin Haoran and his wife, and the four stone gamblers.
master.
"Uncle Qin, it's only 6:10, how can people leave so cleanly?"
Zhuang Rui asked the question in his mind. Although the bidding ended at six o'clock every day, this efficiency was still too high.
"Can it be unclean? Those soldiers came with guns to drive people away. Myanmar is a military-controlled government. Many things are not done democratically. Okay, I have gained something today. Let's have dinner together to celebrate...
…”
Qin Haoran smiled and answered Zhuang Rui. Qin's Jewelry bought three pieces of wool today. Qin Haoran was very happy. Normally, as long as one of the three pieces was cut higher, he would not lose money. After all, now
The jade jewelry market is also booming, and prices are rising very quickly.
"By the way, Xiao Rui, why are you so dismissive of the No. 1888 lot?"
After the car started driving, Fang Yi suddenly remembered this matter. The final winning bid for the piece of material was more than five million, which is a bargain of more than 50 million RMB, which shows that others are still very optimistic about it.
After Fang Yi asked about this matter, several stone gambling masters also looked at Zhuang Rui. The piece of wool was recommended to Fang Yi after they agreed that there was a chance of gambling increase. They also wanted to hear Zhuang Rui's reasons.
Why aren't you allowed to gamble on this piece of material?
"I looked at that piece of wool. Although the cracks are relatively thin, they tend to extend inwards, and the color of the python pattern indicates that even if the jadeite inside is not damaged by the cracks, the quality will not be very high.
The possibility of collapse is very high, it’s not worth the gamble..."
What Zhuang Rui said was quite satisfactory. Although the stone betting consultants were dissatisfied, they could not refute it. After all, the stone was not cut, and no one dared to say for sure whether it would rise or fall.
"Hey, really? Well, go there early tomorrow and get a good seat..."
Qin Haoran's phone suddenly rang. After saying a few words and hanging up, Qin Haoran looked at Zhuang Rui and smiled: "You will know if there is jade or not. That piece of material was bought by a jewelry company in the mainland.
The Myanmar side has decided to give them some discounts, but the condition is that they must perform stone dissection on the spot during this public sale. Let’s go early tomorrow and get a better position to take a look..."
In order to expand the influence of the jadeite public sale and attract more funds to Myanmar, the Myanmar Organizing Committee often encourages people who have bought high-priced rough stones to analyze the stones on the spot. If they can bet on the price and get high-quality jadeites, it will be inevitable.
There will be another wave of panic buying in this public sale.
Of course, if the bet fails at the scene, it will naturally have a backlash. Therefore, the organizing committee is also very selective in the selection of rough stones to be solved at the scene. This time, the rough stone numbered 1888 was selected.
, I don’t know what kind of benefits they gave the buyer, so that he agreed to carry out the stone analysis tomorrow.
After hearing Qin Haoran's words, several stone gambling masters also showed excited expressions on their faces. They were somewhat dissatisfied with the reasons Zhuang Rui just said. They were unable to refute it. They heard that the stones could be solved tomorrow, and they had some thoughts in their hearts.
It depends on Zhuang Rui's busy thoughts. You said that the bet will collapse. If the bet goes up, it depends on where you put your face.
Zhuang Rui smiled, nodded and agreed to go early tomorrow, with a normal look on his face. Are you kidding me? If that piece of broken stone can increase the bet, Zhuang Rui is willing to grind the stone into powder and swallow it all in his fucking stomach.
Before returning to the hotel, Zhuang Rui received a call from Song Jun and Fatty Ma, asking him to have dinner with him, but they were naturally rejected. He rejected his mother-in-law yesterday, so he had to behave well today no matter what.
And after finishing the meal, there were naturally things I wanted to talk to them about.
In the evening, we had a typical Burmese meal, including Burmese prawns, fried eggs, and various seafood. The staple food was rice and steamed glutinous rice cakes. Zhuang Rui ate them with relish.
"Peng Fei, you go back to your room first, I'll go back later..."
Zhuang Rui sat at the same table with Qin Haoran and his wife, while Peng Fei sat at the same table with several stone gambling consultants. After eating, Zhuang Rui said hello to Peng Fei, and then met with Qin Haoran.
The couple took the elevator to their room together.
"Xiao Rui, what's the matter? Can't you talk about it during dinner?"
Zhuang Rui was at the dining table just now, mysteriously saying that he had something to discuss, which made Qin Haoran and his wife have no appetite for the meal. They didn't know what Zhuang Rui wanted to say.
"The people there are a bit mixed, and Uncle Qin, Aunt Fang, if you two can trust me, let me tell you, if you can't trust me, then there is no need to mention this matter..."
Zhuang Rui wanted to tell them that the giant red jadeite rough stone could bet on a higher price, but Zhuang Rui couldn't trust those stone betting consultants. Zhuang Rui had asked Qin Haoran before that these stone betting consultants were all old oilmen, who
I will work with anyone who gives me money, and I have been hanging out in Myanmar and China all year round waiting for jade sales.
Zhuang Rui was afraid that after he told Qin Haoran and his wife, if they took a few stone gambling consultants to look at the stone again, they might cause trouble and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. If that was the case, Zhuang Rui would rather go it alone.
, and won’t say it out loud.
In fact, if his mother-in-law hadn't called him to see the rough stone before, and he was so dismissive at the time, Zhuang Rui wouldn't have said anything about it at all, and he would have made a fortune secretly and photographed it secretly.
But Zhuang Rui already said in dialect that the material would collapse. If he secretly took a picture of the material, Fang Yi would definitely know about it in the future. He was blatantly deceiving his mother-in-law. Zhuang Rui thought twice and decided to reveal something to them. Of course,
, the secret in the eyes is something you won’t tell even if you kill yourself.
In fact, Zhuang Rui's Qin Ruilin store in Beijing and Qin's Jewelry are both prosperous and disadvantaged. If Qin's Jewelry is not managed well and has insufficient supply, other products in his store will definitely be greatly affected. This is also the case for Zhuang Rui.
The main reason for deciding to share resources with Qin Jewelry.
Seeing Zhuang Rui speak so solemnly, Qin Haoran and his wife were a little surprised for a moment. After looking at each other, Fang Yi said: "Xiao Rui, you kid, we are all a family. If you have anything to say, just tell me, aunt and uncle."
Of course I can trust you..."
A wry smile appeared on Zhuang Rui's face and he said: "Auntie, if I tell you, you two can't take those masters to look back. If this matter spreads, the price of that piece of wool will definitely rise sharply.
…”
Qin Haoran's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Which piece of material? Is it explicitly labeled or secretly labeled?"
"What are you so anxious about? Let Xiao Rui finish what he said..." Fang Yi rolled her eyes at her husband angrily and looked at Zhuang Rui thoughtfully, as if she had thought of something.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said: "It's Mingbiao, Aunt Fang, do you still remember the red jade rough stone with the cracks on the back?"
"Remember, this is the piece of material that you said would break when you cut it after looking at it, right?"
Fang Yi became more and more convinced of her idea. She felt that Zhuang Rui was a little pretentious at that time. Based on her understanding of Zhuang Rui, although her future son-in-law was young, he was very calm in doing things.
His remarks were a bit inconsistent with his character.
"Although the cracked hair on the piece of wool is a bad hair, there is a red mist on the wiped surface on the opposite side, and the color of the red mist is slightly yellowish. Uncle Qin and Aunt Fang all know that I have had bleeding
Is it about the jade jade?"
"I know, I know, go on..." The bracelet Zhuang Rui gave is in Fang Yi's hand, so how could she forget about it.
"There must be red jade when there is red mist, but according to my experience, if there are yellow crystals in the red mist, there will definitely be the best jade in the stone. I have carefully observed this during the process of unraveling the stone.
You can’t go wrong…”
Zhuang Rui's words, although they were categorical, were actually all nonsense. When the red mist of the fart turns yellow, the best jadeite would appear. This was simply the reason he found himself.
When it comes to stone gambling, it's basically luck that counts one-third to seven-tenths. No matter how much you bet on the stone master, it's common to bet on the wrong thing. The so-called experience is just accumulated bit by bit after a long period of cutting and cutting stones.
Well, there is no final conclusion on this matter, and no one dares to guarantee it.
When Zhuang Rui said this, even Qin Haoran, who was quite proficient in stone gambling, his eyes lit up. Although he had never heard of this statement, it was gained from Zhuang Rui's experience and was better than those passed down by word of mouth.
The thing is even more believable, that is to say, there is a great possibility that the best jadeite can be found from that piece of material.
"Xiaozhuang, according to your estimate, how much jade meat can be produced from the piece of material you mentioned?"
Qin Haoran wished he could fly to the stone gambling venue right now and take a good look at the rough stone. But he knew that not only could he not go now, but he would have to stay away from that piece of material even tomorrow, or look at it.
When you are doing something, you can't show anything.
"Aunt Fang has seen that piece of raw stone. It weighs a ton, but the evil strands will definitely affect the jade meat in the material. I estimate that it should be able to produce thirty to fifty kilograms of jade meat, and the quality of these jadeite is at least
If you can reach the ice type, you might be able to unlock the glass type materials..."
Zhuang Rui is not afraid to tell the truth. With the title of director of the Jade Association, he must be somewhat real. He used to be secretive and dare not admit it, because his qualifications are too low.
But things are different now. With the title of expert, and betting one more stone, it can just establish his position in the stone gambling circle, and also let the old guys in the Jade Association know that the old man recommended him to join the Jade Association as a member.
The position of director is not one of nepotism.
"Thirty to fifty kilograms, with quality above ice type. Colorless jade and red and yellow jade jewelry are now very popular in the market. Jewelry with the same quality is even more expensive than green jade. If it can reach glass type,
That 30 to 50 kilograms of material is worth about 200 million yuan. If it is made into jewelry, it can be sold for at least 400 million yuan..."
At first, Qin Haoran was just quietly analyzing the price of wool that Zhuang Rui said, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the louder he spoke, and finally he stood up and walked around the hotel room, feeling extremely excited.
Qin's jewelry is facing a shortage of jade raw materials and unsatisfactory products. This time it mobilized nearly 1 billion in funds. The original intention is to cast a wide net and catch more fish. It would rather lose some money than let the jewelry store's
Jade products are out of stock. This time I came to Myanmar with the intention of making a profit at a loss.
In fact, this is not only the case with Qin's Jewelry, most other jewelry companies also have this idea. First, get a batch of raw materials on hand, and then relatively increase the market price of jade jewelry, and gradually form a balance of payments. But in the early stage,
You have to lose some money. Of course, if you get lucky and your bet goes up, that's another story.
But with the piece of material that Zhuang Rui is looking at, the situation of Qin's jewelry will immediately change. As long as they can get this piece of red jade, in the next few years, they will not have to worry about the raw materials for high-end jade jewelry.
, and the focus of this public sale in Myanmar can be placed on mid- to low-end woolen materials, which are relatively easy to buy.
Of course, there is a reason why Qin's jewelry has been able to dominate Xiangjiang for nearly a hundred years, but it is best not to use its trump card unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Xiao Rui, that piece of material won't be photographed tomorrow, right?"
"No, according to the number, it should be auctioned the day after tomorrow..."
"Okay, I'll go look at that piece of material by myself tomorrow. Let's sum up the bidding plan tomorrow night and make sure everything is foolproof. I'll take a call first..."
As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields. Qin Haoran was like a general with decisive command at this time. In just a few words, he decided on this matter involving the flow of hundreds of millions of yuan in capital. However, just when Qin Haoran said that, the stars were flying.
The cell phone on the table rang.
"Arong? If you want to come, welcome, welcome. I'm in the room. Well, you know the room number. I won't pick you up..."
After answering the phone, Qin Haoran had a happy expression on his face. The visit of his old friend and the fact that Zhuang Rui solved such a big thing for him couldn't help but make Qin Haoran a little excited.
"Uncle Qin, you have guests, so I'll take my leave first..."
Zhuang Rui is not afraid that Qin's jewelry will be a monopoly. Anyway, he owns at least half of that piece of material. The sales of top-quality jade jewelry have a cycle. After a year or two, maybe he will find good ones again. Speaking of Myanmar
There are public sales two or three times a year.
"Xiao Rui, you don't have to go, I just want to introduce you to him. This person is a leading figure in Myanmar's jade industry..." As soon as Qin Haoran introduced him, Zhuang Rui heard that the person who came was actually Hu Rong, and he wanted to get to know him immediately.
people.
After asking Qin Haoran, Zhuang Rui found out that the Qin family in Hong Kong and the Hu family in Myanmar had been close friends for several lifetimes, and they also had a very close relationship. Mr. Qin's biological sister was Hu Rong's biological grandmother and Qin Haoran's biological sister.
Auntie, there are frequent visits between the two families.
"Uncle Qin, Aunt Fang, it's my turn to supervise the conference today. I can't visit you and aunt. I'm really sorry..."
As soon as the jade tycoon entered the room, he treated Qin Haoran and Fang Yi as juniors. Hu Rong was more than ten years younger than Qin Haoran and his wife, so they were both juniors in terms of age.
"It's okay, Ah Rong, let me finish it off for you. This is your sister Xuan Bing's boyfriend. He is the new director of the Domestic Jade Association. You guys should hang out more in the future..."
Qin Haoran pulled Zhuang Rui over and introduced him to Hu Rong. After hearing Qin Haoran's words, Hu Rong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Zhuang Rui was so young. He only entered the Myanmar Jade Association at the age of thirty-five.
He was already considered the youngest a few years ago, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Rui was much younger than him. He looked like he was only twenty-six or seventeen years old.
Hu Rong knows the human relations of the motherland. For departments like the Jade Association, there are only three ways to serve as a director. First, he runs a large jewelry company, and second, he has extensive research on jade and can be called a director.
To be considered an authoritative person, the third thing is to have a deep background.
No matter which one of these three types of people Zhuang Rui belongs to, they should not be underestimated. Hu Rong immediately took out his business card and exchanged it with Zhuang Rui. He and Qin Haoran and his wife had been in contact from time to time. Everyone sat down
Let’s chat next time.
The so-called trump card of Qin's jewelry is actually the Hu family in Myanmar. However, in recent years, Myanmar's military forces have stricter restrictions on the export of jadeite rough. If smuggling is found, the punishment will be very severe. Even the Burmese will be punished.
Sentencing without mercy, up to and including the death penalty.
Therefore, although the Hu family has been a prominent family in Myanmar for a century, Mr. Qin is not willing to use this relationship easily and put the Hu family at risk.
"Uncle Qin, before I came, my father told me that you and your aunt should go to Myitkyina Pagan when you have time. I prepared a batch of wool some time ago, and I have arranged the route. It will be shipped from Thailand and then delivered to
Hongkong……"
The purpose of Hu Rong's visit this time is to complete this matter. They also know that except for Myanmar, jewelry companies are facing a shortage of jade raw materials. With the relationship between the two companies, the Hu family in Myanmar naturally
It's impossible to just sit back and watch, and what he just said was actually smuggling jadeite.
It's just that relatives are relatives, and the foundation of the Hu family cannot be changed. They have been dealing in rough stones for generations. The rule is that they will never participate in stone gambling. They just rub it on the materials that perform well and open the window to go out.
Sell, so even if it is sold to the Qin family in Hong Kong, it will be rough stone and not jade meat.
Hu Rong is actually a bit repelled by this rule, because in recent years he has also started a jewelry company in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Unfortunately, the old man at home is still there, and he does not dare to break this rule, so he can only sell it through smuggling.
Qin Haoran rough stone.
From Myanmar to Thailand, there are basically tropical jungles and mountains. Carrying those rough stones across the mountains and ridges is not an easy job. There is nothing you can do about it, because when you enter China from Myanmar, the smuggling of rough stones is investigated.
It's quite tight. If there's a slight mistake, the Hu family will have to walk around in pain.
Of course, they don't need to handle this kind of thing, there are people like this down there.
"Arong, I understand my uncle's thoughts, but the situation in Myanmar is very tense now. Let's not cause any problems in this limelight. If we really can't support it anymore, we can ask you for help..."
Before Zhuang Rui mentioned the piece of wool, Qin Haoran would have gone to Pagan and walked around even if he took the risk, but the situation is different now. At least Qin's jewelry does not need to be so anxious to stock up on high-end jade raw materials.
, just buy the mid- to low-end ones directly from the public auction.
In the hidden bidding area of this public sale, there are still many materials that have been cut and have little gambling value. At most, you will only need to spend a little more money.
"Uncle Qin, don't be afraid of this, we have already arranged it..." Hu Rong thought Qin Haoran was worried about being found out, so he quickly explained again.
Qin Haoran smiled, waved his hand and said: "Arong, there is really no shortage of raw materials for the time being. Regarding the relationship between our two families, will I still be polite?"
"Well, Uncle Qin is right. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you must tell us. By the way, grandma misses you very much. Let's not talk about the wool. After the public sale is over, uncle and aunt will go home with me.
Let’s go take a look?”
Seeing Qin Haoran's resolute attitude, Hu Rong stopped talking about smuggling. His grandfather had passed away, but his grandmother was still there. Out of politeness, he would invite Qin Haoran to his home as a guest.
"I may not have time this time. I'll go visit my aunt next time. Otherwise, let Xiao Rui go and have fun with you. He hasn't seen the jade mining site yet. It would be good to gain some experience..."
Qin Haoran thought that if he took the piece of red jade, some of his family's business strategies would have to change accordingly. He would have to extract the batch of red jade and make it into jewelry as soon as possible, and then put it into the market to seize the opportunity.
This time is very urgent. As the current helmsman of Qin's jewelry, Qin Haoran does not have time to visit the Hu family, but he pushed Zhuang Rui out. There is no harm in the young man seeing more things. Of course, Qin Haoran
Haoran will not consider whether Zhuang Rui is busy or not.
"Brother Hu, is Pagan in the Myitkyina area?"
Zhuang Rui just heard the three words Mi Zhi from Hu Rong's mouth, and he paid attention. Isn't the map on his memory card there?
