Chapter 468-469 Hidden Mark (12, 13)
But when Zhuang Rui's eyes penetrated the rough stone skin, which was like the red rust on the bottom of a pot, the color he saw was actually a trace of yellow mist crystals. Zhuang Rui has seen at least 10% of the wool materials so far.
It's tens of thousands of yuan. Zhuang Rui has seen red mist, white mist, even purple mist and blue mist, but this is the first time he has seen yellow mist.
These yellow crystals are also surrounded by some red mist, but the red color is relatively lighter, and the whole thing is wrapped in yellow crystals. It is difficult to distinguish them without looking carefully.
Through these yellow mist crystals formed by weathering, Zhuang Rui's eyes saw the middle part of the original stone. A bright color came into his eyes. This was a bright yellow, like grease, giving people a
A delicate, fragrant and attractive feeling.
The aura contained in this rough stone is different from other jade auras. It doesn't have that cold feeling. On the contrary, the aura is like the sunshine on the head, making Zhuang Rui feel warm.
.
"Huang Fei? Or chicken fat yellow..."
Zhuang Rui's heart trembled suddenly. If there was any kind of jade that he had never seen before, the only one left might be yellow jade. He couldn't say that he had never seen it before. There was also yellow jade in the woolen materials on the market, but the quality was too low.
, looked greasy and dirty, Zhuang Rui didn't even want to take a second look.
But the yellow jade in this rough stone was completely different from what he had seen before. The yellow color was as pure as freshly slaughtered chicken fat, and the texture of the jade was as transparent as glass. Whether it was the planting water or the color, it was the best among yellow jade.
select.
Like all colored jade, the formation of yellow jade must be accompanied by the presence of secondary mineral limonite during its formation process. Countless years of erosion and fusion have formed this unique color, which is closely related to
Different from red, blue, purple and green emeralds, the top quality yellow jade is even rarer.
Due to the love of the old woman from the Qing Dynasty and the "First Lady" of the Republic of China in the early years, the view that "only green is the price" was formed in people's consciousness, and at the same time, the misunderstanding of "green is good" was formed.
, jade lovers all blindly pursue green.
Consumers ignore that green jade can be divided into pure and variegated colors, and its value can be high or low. Some people don't even know that there are red and yellow jade. Green has almost become synonymous with jade.
However, in recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's appreciation and taste in jewelry, red jade and yellow jade have become more and more popular for their outstanding decorativeness and personalization. Their warm tones are in line with the skin color of our Chinese people.
It is easy to coordinate, so its value is increasingly recognized by jade lovers.
Although in the current jadeite jewelry market, the natural value of jadeite is lower than that of jadeite, but that is based on the sense of equal quality. The value of bright jadeite is obviously higher than that of dull jadeite.
In fact, red and yellow are one of the three primary colors, and their mixed colors are also more gorgeous. Green and purple themselves are secondary colors. If they are mixed with other colors, they will easily become gray or dark. In other words, the value of many green colors is actually
Not taller than Fei.
As far as the natural value of jade is concerned, jade with pure color and good species has higher value. The golden and translucent yellow jade is a very precious and high-quality jade. Just like the value of topaz exceeds that of cultured white jade, the best yellow jade is in
It is extremely rare in the market and is even more precious and rare than Imperial Green.
It is worth mentioning that when using jade as a decoration, in addition to considering the above-mentioned common values, the individual value must also be considered. Although jade is expensive, it is more suitable for people with fair skin to wear, while people with darker skin will feel uncomfortable choosing jade.
It is more coordinated and beautiful. Therefore, for people with dark skin, the personality value of Fei is higher than that of Cui.
Since decoration is the main advantage of jade, color is particularly important for jade. A piece of jade with good color and average color has more valuable potential than jade with good hybrid color, so its natural value is also higher than the latter.
Of course, if the type of jadeite is too low, or even loses the basic characteristics of jadeite transparency, then no matter how good the color is, it is just a stone and not jade, so there is no value. The yellow jadeite in this stone now, no matter it is
The planting water and color are all top-notch.
Since the Song Dynasty in China, bright yellow has been the exclusive color of the emperor, and the emphasis is on "yellow is the most valuable". Therefore, in recent years, once the top-quality yellow jade comes out, it will be sold at a sky-high price, and there is no yellow jade in circulation in the market.
object.
There was once a famous jade carver from Sihui in Guangdong. He accidentally got a top-quality yellow jade in Myanmar and carved it into a roast chicken. Later, when he participated in the China Art Expo held in Beijing, he served it on a plate.
come out.
Many people were shocked at the time. They really thought it was a fragrant roast chicken fresh out of the oven. When they looked carefully and found that it was indeed a jade carving, they couldn't help but admire the author's exquisite conception and skillful knife skills, as well as this piece of yellow jade.
Natural colors and textures.
It was later rumored that the piece of roasted chicken yellow jade was purchased for more than 100 million yuan but was not purchased because the owner of the piece regarded it as a family heirloom and was determined not to sell it outside.
Huang Fei is called "Fu Yi" in the three colors of jadeite "Fu Lu Shou", which means auspiciousness, good fortune, and coexistence for eternity. Therefore, in recent years, many wealthy people are pursuing the best Huang Fei works.
Among the yellow emeralds in this rough stone, the middle one has the purest color. Zhuang Rui looked at it carefully. It was slightly smaller than a football and should weigh more than ten kilograms. It can be carved into an ornament. According to the
The quality of this piece of yellow jade is probably no worse than the jadeite fruit plate I gave to my grandpa.
"Take it, you must buy it..."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui became excited. Compared with red jade and green jade, yellow jade is rarer. This piece of yellow jade can be used as the treasure of Qin Ruilin's store in the capital.
Taking a deep breath, Zhuang Rui stood up, first moved his numb feet, and then changed his angle and started observing again. In the eyes of others, Zhuang Rui seemed to be looking down from above.
Looking at the rough stone, Zhuang Rui's eyes were actually fixed on the standard box.
"So many bids?"
As soon as the spiritual energy escaped into the bid box, Zhuang Rui became depressed before he had time to distinguish the numbers on the bid list. A large stack of business card-sized bid lists had been placed in the bid box. A rough estimate
At once, there were at least two to three hundred pieces. In other words, at least one-tenth of the people who participated in the public auction had bid on this piece of wool.
In fact, Zhuang Rui brought this on himself. After he bet on the ice-red red jade, not only China, but also other buyers from all over the world paid more attention to colored jade besides green.
Anyone with a slightly better skin performance will receive bids.
This piece of jade has a typical red jade skin, so even though it is in a corner, there are still people with keen eyes to dig it out.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand euros...three hundred thousand euros...damn, 1.6 million euros..."
Zhuang Rui sorted through the bids one by one and read them for nearly an hour before finding the highest price. After reading the numbers on the bids, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but curse.
You must know that the base price of this piece of wool is only 50,000 euros, 500,000 RMB. The current highest price has already doubled the base price by 32 times.
Although he knew that there was something good in this rough stone, Zhuang Rui was still a little aggrieved. He didn't know whether he should praise the bidder for his discernment, or whether he was stupid and rich, and dared to pay such a price just because the outer skin resembled red jade material.
"Hey, brother, let me bid..."
Zhuang Rui's upper body blocked the bidding box at this time. Someone pushed him from behind and motioned for him to give way.
"Hey, is it Boss Zhuang? Are you also interested in this piece of wool?"
The person who spoke was Zhuang Rui, whom he didn't recognize. He must have seen him betting on stones. Now that he saw Zhuang Rui paying attention to this piece of wool, the bid sheet in the man's hand was not put into the bid box.
"I heard someone said there is a piece of red jade material that performs well here. I came over to take a look..."
Zhuang Rui smiled. He knew that the person in front of him would be suspicious of what he said now, so he might as well admit that he had seen this piece of material.
"Oh, what does Boss Zhuang think?"
"Yes, Boss Zhuang, please tell me..."
The conversation between the two attracted several people who were watching the wool materials nearby. The person who had the most limelight in the Burmese public auction was none other than Zhuang Rui. These businessmen who came to Burma to gamble on stones were probably very different.
Nine of them didn't know who the Prime Minister of Myanmar was, but they definitely knew Boss Zhuang from Beijing.
"I knew I would just take one look and leave..."
Zhuang Rui felt a little depressed. He could imagine that the person holding the bid sheet would definitely change the price on it before throwing it into the bid box.
"Okay, let me tell you my opinion. Everyone can tell by looking at the surface of this piece of wool. If there is jade inside, it will definitely not be green. Red jade is the most likely, and it is a whole piece.
The wool is completely integrated and there are no cracks. Even though it is a complete piece of material, it is still very durable. Well, I am very optimistic about this piece of material..."
After Zhuang Rui said the above words half-truthfully, he also took a bid form from the standard box next to him, and then said: "It's just that the price needs to be carefully considered. Everyone, take a look first, and I will
I’ll say goodbye first…”
Zhuang Rui's behavior made everyone around the piece of wool dumbfounded.
They didn't expect Zhuang Rui to say good things about this piece of material, because here, everyone is a rival in bidding. As the saying goes, peers are enemies. If Zhuang Rui really takes a fancy to this rough stone, even if he doesn't say bad things, he probably won't.
So respected?
"Is it because you deliberately asked us to bid on this piece of wool?"
For a moment, a question mark arose in the hearts of everyone watching. Maybe this was a trap set by Zhuang Rui for them. And the look on the face of the person holding the already written bid list was also
I was a little surprised and uncertain, and I still didn’t put the bid in my hand into the bid box.
Zhuang Rui had already walked away far away at this time. He had no intention of guessing the psychology of these people. However, on the first page of Zhuang Rui's notebook, he had already written down the number of the piece of wool and made a picture that only he
Symbols that only you can understand.
"Peng Fei, if someone knocks on the door, they say I'm not here and I'm out shopping..."
Zhuang Rui told Peng Fei, and then moved everything on the coffee table in the hotel living room. Among the things left on the coffee table, in addition to his notebook, there were more than 20 bid sheets.
Tomorrow is the deadline for bidding. After Zhuang Rui just called Song Jun, Qin Haoran and others not to disturb him, he was going to sort out a few key pieces of wool, and then decide which ones to choose based on his own funds.
There were so many people visiting Zhuang Rui in the past few days. Even though there was a Do Not Disturb sign outside the hotel room, people still knocked on the door, which made Zhuang Rui very annoyed. This made him miss the white lion.
If that big guy was guarding the door, no one would bother him.
"A piece of glass colorless jadeite costs 420,000 euros, a piece of glass sun-green jadeite costs 970,000 euros, a piece of glass purple jadeite costs 1.29 million euros, and a piece of blue jadeite costs 138,000 euros."
million euros…”
Zhuang Rui spent a whole day yesterday, carefully inspecting the twenty most precious pieces of wool that he carefully selected, and recorded the highest price in the standard box at that time.
"Fortunately, the total is less than 20 million euros..."
Zhuang Rui looked at the figure of 18.9 million euros on the computer and breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that these 20 pieces of wool were left over after looking at them for many days.
Both the water and the color can be called the best jadeite. Zhuang Rui is reluctant to discard any piece.
It's just that except for the yellow jade, the top jade such as the imperial green and blood jade bracelets and the purple eyes did not appear in this public sale, but this is normal. In the stone gambling circle, many people have mixed up.
In my whole life, let alone gambling on the imperial green, I have never even seen it.
Like the above-mentioned categories of top-quality jade, if you can find one piece in five or six years, you are considered very lucky. And those buyers who come to Myanmar are satisfied if they can get a piece of ice material.
.
The rough stones that are now in front of Zhuang Rui are all rough stones with average appearance on the outside, but there is material inside. Zhuang Rui thought he could easily win it, but he did not expect that after these few days of observation, even these materials with poor performance
, some people have placed heavy bids.
Basically, the highest price in the standard box now exceeds the original stone by more than 10 times. For example, the yellow jade material. Zhuang Rui took a look at it before clearing the place last night. The highest price in the box has reached 2.1 million euros.
It exceeded the lowest bid by as much as 42 times.
However, what makes Zhuang Rui feel a little more at ease is that there are not many repeated orders for the rough stones he is looking at. This shows that buyers are not focusing on these stones, but are just casting a wider net.
If he wants to catch some fish that have slipped through the net, Zhuang Rui only needs to keep an eye on these materials tomorrow and then put the bids into the bid box at the last moment.
As for those materials with excellent surface rubbing or cutting performance, Zhuang Rui also deliberately hung around there for a few days, but what shocked him was that one piece of wool had a price tag of 18 million euros.
Moreover, there is still an endless stream of people looking at that piece of material in the past two days. I am afraid that the final bid will not be released until the bidding deadline.
After analyzing the conditions of these rough stones, Zhuang Rui began to fill out the bid form. He added 35,000 to 580,000 euros to the highest price of these rough stones. As for the piece of red jade wool, Zhuang Rui thought about it for a long time.
, filled in with a price of 3.18 million, which is a full 1.08 million higher than the current highest price. For this piece of material, Zhuang Rui is bound to get it.
"Grandma, I'm a pauper again..."
After filling in all the bids, Zhuang Rui used a computer to add up the numbers. The total was 20.86 million euros. Not only did he fill in all the 20 million euros that Qin Haoran gave him, but Zhuang Rui now only had
Of the remaining 900,000 euros, 860,000 euros will be added to it. After all, Zhuang Rui only has 40,000 euros left in his hand.
"This little money is enough to cover the expenses of the courtyard house for one or two months, right?"
Before coming to Myanmar, Zhuang Rui gathered all the funds he could use in his hands. The funds in Qin Ruilin's account in the capital included the profits from Zhao Guodong's auto repair shop and 4S store in the past few months, as well as the profits from the Xinjiang jade mine.
The first dividend, even for the Mastiff Garden, Zhuang Rui disbursed 1 million, which made Liu Chuan very nervous. If he hadn't just gotten married, he might have come to Myanmar with Zhuang Rui.
It's not like Zhuang Rui has never had moneyless days. The key problem is that he will be engaged to Qin Xuanbing at the end of the month, and the 40,000 euros alone will probably not be enough for the expenses then.
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly. When he had no money before, life didn't seem to be very difficult. But now that he has a net worth of hundreds of millions, he often feels that he doesn't have enough money. It doesn't cost much to maintain that car. It's just Pengcheng and Beijing.
In a courtyard house, the various expenditures in a month amount to more than 100,000 yuan.
"Are you going to leave one or two pieces of material to unpack and sell when you wait for the bidding to open?"
Zhuang Rui thought about this idea for a moment, but then he gave it up. The current situation in Myanmar's public market is that others use money to buy raw jade stones. It is conceivable that in the near future,
Over time, the price of finished jadeite will continue to rise. If you buy raw materials now, you will be at a huge loss.
"Treasure Map?"
Zhuang Rui shook his head. Not to mention that the thing might not be there anymore. Even if it was there, he and Peng Fei couldn't move it away. He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity this time. Zhuang Rui really didn't want to move it away.
What hope.
"Forget it, Qin Ruilin's sales this month are good anyway, and he should be able to recover several million by the end of the month..."
There are only 40,000 euros left on hand. Although Zhuang Rui feels a little unsure, it is not yet time to unveil the pot. At the end of the month, the business funds of several stores will be able to save the emergency. The engagement ceremony between himself and Qin Xuanbing will not be completed.
As for how many millions it would cost, my mother would not agree to it if I really wanted to do that.
Zhuang Rui now understands the reason why collectors often cry out about poverty. Facing a room full of treasures, sometimes he can't even take out two hundred yuan in his pocket. It's similar to his current situation. With so many rough stones, selling them
Zhuang Rui couldn't bear to part with any piece of money. If he didn't sell it to raise money, he really couldn't afford this business.
"Peng Fei, come here and tell you something. If you do this tomorrow..."
After shaking his head to get rid of those messy thoughts, Zhuang Rui called Peng Fei over and handed him all the bids on the table, asking him to put them into each bid box according to the numbers on the bids tomorrow.
Zhuang Rui knew that he was too conspicuous now. As soon as he entered the stone gambling venue, he was stared at like a star. The gazes made him want to take off his clothes and see what he was thinking in his heart. He couldn't figure it out.
Well, those male and female celebrities, why do they like to be looked at so much? It’s not like people who are celebrities have a bit of a habit of showing off, right?
Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui met with Song Jun, Qin Haoran and others, and then came to the stone gambling venue.
There are only two kinds of weather in Myanmar, one is the dry season and the other is the rainy season, and now it is the dry season. The sun is shining almost every day. However, the weather today is a bit strange. The dark clouds in the sky are very low, which is a bit strange.
It's like a sign of heavy rain.
Fortunately, those tender boxes are all waterproofed. Even if it rains, the rainwater will not enter the tender boxes. However, this weather makes people feel very depressed, with the feeling of dark clouds overwhelming the city.
It seemed to be connected with the bid opening tomorrow, which made people feel heavy. After seeing acquaintances, they no longer greeted each other with a smile like they did a few days ago. Everyone's face was tense.
It’s no wonder that during the twelve-day jade auction, it all depends on today whether he can return home with jade. After arriving at the venue, almost everyone tore off the disguises of the previous few days and went straight to the place of their choice.
They want to get rid of the raw materials. They want to decide whether they need to adjust the bid price based on the situation of today's bidders.
"Peng Fei, go ahead. There's no need to rush to throw. Just throw them all into the bid box before three o'clock in the afternoon..."
Zhuang Rui winked at Peng Fei, and he wandered around the venue aimlessly. From time to time he saw an acquaintance next to a certain piece of wool, and went up to chat for a few words. He looked very leisurely, and others were not surprised.
Knowing that he has already made hundreds of millions in bets, of course there is no pressure anymore.
In the morning, there were almost no bidders. They all stood next to the wool they were interested in and chatted, but their expressions were a bit absent-minded. But after lunch, many people became busy.
.
One by one, the bids that had been prepared or just filled out were put into the bid boxes. The hidden bids and the explicit bids were different, and there was no price for them to refer to. These people could only choose based on the performance of the wool.
At the last moment, invest at the highest price in your mind.
"Brother Zhuang, you have invested everything..."
When there were still two hours before the bidding deadline, Peng Fei returned to Zhuang Rui.
