The nine hundred and sixtieth chapters only have a false name? (1)
Chapter 962 A false reputation? (1)
Since more than an hour has passed since the open bidding time, a group of people have gathered around Jieshi District. They all paid money to get the rough stones after winning the bid, and want to try their luck here.
In addition to these professional stone gamblers, there are also some jewelers. These people are also very smart. They don't want to spend a lot of money to participate in stone gambling, so they just stay here and wait for others to unlock the jade and then make an offer.
Buy.
Although this method is not as profitable as gambling on stones, it is safer and much lower than the price of purchasing raw materials in China.
Because these people are eager to raise funds after betting on the price increase so that they can buy rough diamonds again, so generally after the price increases on the spot, the selling price is not very high.
"Brother Zhuang, why did you come out so early? Didn't you take action this time?"
As soon as Zhuang Rui approached Jieshi District, he saw an acquaintance, Boss Han of Han's Jewelry. This old man was wearing an exotic sunhat and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Boss Han, aren't you just wandering around?"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. Judging from Lao Han's attitude, he probably wanted to pick up a leak and buy a few pieces of the exposed materials. There are many people like him in the Jieshi District who want to take advantage.
"Brother, don't laugh at me. I was so busy that I bought a plane ticket and wandered around in this place where birds don't lay eggs. Of course I just want to look at some good stuff..."
Han Haowei laughed bitterly, and then said: "I was just there when the bid was opened. Where is this gambling? It's just a fucking robbery. It's like a piece of broken stone for free. Brother, I can't afford it.
…”
Doing business requires cost control. Not only Boss Han, but also many jewelers participating in the public sale were frightened by the clear signs on the first day.
Domestic idle funds and the injection of hot money have made the stone gambling market more and more crazy and irrational. Myanmar is fanning its wings, and the domestic jade market in the next few years will also be greatly affected.
"Yeah, I don't dare to bid. A piece of material as big as a fist costs more than two million, and even the ice type will be a loss. I really don't know what these people are thinking..."
Zhuang Rui also shook his head repeatedly. After the tender opening just now, his interest in this public sale dropped sharply. Unlike these jewelers who must rely on public sales to raise supply of goods, Zhuang Rui still has a solid foundation in Myanmar.
Although the jadeite mine in Pagan is ready to be sold, there is a lot of good material accumulated in the past few years. According to Hu Rong, even if half of the rough stones in his warehouse are given to Zhuang Rui, it will be enough for his jewelry store for fifty years.
jadeite materials.
Therefore, Zhuang Rui is not in a hurry. If he can pick up good materials by taking some troubles, then of course he is hoping for it. If he really can't find anything, he should consider it as a trip.
"That person is the Jade King of Northland?"
"It seems so. I heard that his surname is Zhuang..."
"You're very young. You didn't win the bid from the looks of it. Isn't it just bragging?"
"Blow? You can blow hundreds of millions of jade and have a look. Let me tell you, this young man was very popular in the past few years..."
"It's just good luck. In those few years, everyone made money..."
While Zhuang Rui and Han Haowei were chatting, a group of people nearby who were preparing to unravel the stone began to discuss in low voices. If Zhuang Rui had created a legend in the stone gambling circle, he would also be a person of great status.
Although many people in the circle are questioning Zhuang Rui's jade appreciation and stone gambling skills, Zhuang Rui has a certain influence in this circle just based on his achievements in the past few years.
Zhuang Ruizheng was talking to Boss Han, and a man came over and said, "You are Teacher Zhuang, can you help me palm the eyes and see how this material is doing?"
"you are?"
Zhuang Rui doesn't have the high moral character of Mr. Tang. He helps people with his eyes whenever he sees them. This eye-palming job is not easy to do. If you make a good deal, others will believe you, but if you don't say it, you may be resented by others.
Last year, Zhuang Rui helped Gu Yun's friend identify an object, which was a piece of blue and white porcelain and was signed as being made in the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.
According to what the man said, this thing was passed down from his ancestors from the Qing Dynasty. However, as soon as Zhuang Rui got hold of it, he knew it was a fake. According to the rules of the industry, he didn't have the nerve to say it was fake at that time. He just said he couldn't understand it.
Who would have thought that as soon as that buddy left the house, he would make a lot of nonsense to Gu Yun, saying that Zhuang Rui had a false reputation and that it was all blown out, which made Gu Yun fall out with that person and no longer even allowed him to be friends.
Since that incident, except in the antique circle, Zhuang Rui has never helped anyone else identify objects. Doing this is tantamount to causing trouble for himself.
"Brother, this is Boss Zhang. He is a pioneer in the stone betting market in recent years. He is very visionary and courageous. His reputation is no less than yours..."
Before the man could speak, Han Haowei introduced Zhuang Rui first. Zhuang Rui frowned slightly and said, "What's the point of competing with yourself? You don't rely on this to make a living."
"Boss Zhang, let's forget about the palms and eyes. My reputation was blown out by others and cannot be taken seriously..."
With Zhuang Rui's current wealth and vision, he has long been too lazy to care about these things, so he showed a maturity far beyond his years in his conversations.
"How can you do that? Teacher Zhuang's reputation is known even to foreigners. Could it be that he doesn't like my little brother's material?"
Boss Zhang has been doing well in the stone gambling shop for the past two years, and he has actually cut out a few good stones. He is usually praised by some well-known domestic jewelers, and he thinks that his level of appreciating rough stones is one of the best in the industry.
.
However, because he entered the industry late, Boss Zhang has never had any contact with Zhuang Rui. However, he often hears people talk about Zhuang Rui's achievements, and he feels a little unconvinced. Now he comes to Zhuang Rui's eyes because he actually wants to test Zhuang Rui.
This kind of thing is not ridiculous. There are some people in this world who don't want others to be better than themselves. In ancient times, they were called Wen Wu No. 1 and Wu Wu Wu No. 2. They love to be more truthful in everything.
After Zhuang Rui heard what this man said, he frowned slightly and said, "Let's forget it. This gambling stone is ever-changing. No one dares to say what's inside until it is solved..."
"Ah? Haha, since Teacher Zhuang can't see through it, then forget it..."
When Boss Zhang heard that Zhuang Rui had given in, his pride was so high that he immediately laughed and stopped forcing Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui didn't want to cause trouble and refused, but it made Boss Han feel unhappy. When Boss Zhang just finished speaking, he said: "Boss Zhang, what do you mean by not being able to see through? I'm not afraid to tell you,
There are really not many rough stones that Brother Zhuang cannot see through. In terms of the level of appreciating rough stones, hehe, Boss Zhang..."
Han Haowei said half of his words, but everyone could understand the meaning of his words. Boss Zhang's smiling face suddenly turned ugly.
"Hey, that's strange. Teacher Zhuang didn't say anything. Why are Lao Han and Lao Zhang going up against each other?"
"Yes, isn't Lao Han such a serious person?"
"This Lao Zhang is a bit too much. If you want to rise to the top, don't step on others..."
Han Haowei's attitude made the people watching the fun feel a little strange. The jeweler and the stone gambler had always complemented each other. According to common sense, Han Haowei had no reason to offend Boss Zhang.
It’s just that these people don’t know that Zhuang Rui gave Han Haowei a big favor some time ago. Those few pieces of top-quality jadeite are enough for his jewelry store to have raw materials for top-quality jadeite jewelry in a few years.
Regarding Zhuang Rui's level, I am afraid that apart from family friends such as Qin Haoran and Ma Fatty Song Jun, Boss Han knows the best, so he helped Zhuang Rui fight against the injustice at that time and made friends with Zhuang Rui in the future.
Then I wanted to get some good materials from him.
"Old Han, what are you talking about..." Zhuang Rui quickly stopped Han Haowei. He did not have high expectations for this public sale and did not want to make any more limelight.
Before Zhuang Rui had finished persuading Lao Han, Boss Zhang said angrily from the side: "Teacher Zhuang, come and help me, otherwise I'm afraid someone will say you have a false reputation..."
"Damn, you're sick, aren't you? Why are you biting people like a mad dog? Brother, did I provoke you?"
Zhuang Rui was furious, why are there still people like this now? Do they really think of themselves as the God of Gamblers?
Zhuang Rui wanted to keep a low profile, but it was still unbearable to have someone step on his head. He immediately said: "Okay, let's take a look. Boss Zhang's level must be very high, and the rough stone he picked must be good...
…”
Hearing that Zhuang Rui wanted to help Boss Zhang identify the materials, some people who were working on the stone also put aside their work and came over. Even some people who were waiting at the entrance of the Jade Center also gathered around.
You know, the miracles Zhuang Rui performed at this venue a few years ago are still being sung to this day.
Zhuang Rui walked to a stone cutting machine and saw the material that Boss Zhang bought. It was a large piece of material, about one meter long and wide, and the weight was estimated to be at least 300 kilograms. It also had ringworm on the surface. It looked very good.
.
Zhuang Rui walked around the rough stone twice, smiled on his face, and asked: "Boss Zhang, is the price of this piece of material not low?"
Before Boss Zhang could speak, a complimentary person next to him took up Zhuang Rui's words and said: "Of course, this piece of material was bought by today's top bidder for 6.8 million euros. Only Brother Zhang has this."
Courage!”
"Courage?!"
Zhuang Rui laughed secretly in his heart, "What the hell is courage? It's better to call it a fool..."
"Well, Boss Zhang is really courageous. This piece of material is very dangerous. Most people don't dare to gamble..."
While Zhuang Rui was speaking, he had already squatted down, took the magnifying glass handed over by Boss Han, and pretended to look at the surface of the rough stone.
"Are you talking about cracks? The cracks on this piece of material are not deep, and the ringworm on the surface is very green. I believe you will see green when you cut it, and I believe the quality will not be bad..."
Boss Zhang looked confident. The last time he bought a piece of material from the Yangmei public market, it was very similar to this one. After the bet went up, he made more than 20 million RMB in one change of hands.
