Nine hundred and eighty-ninth chapter come again Pagan
Chapter 989 Return to Pagan
In fact, Steve was not optimistic that the last piece of material would produce jadeite, but of course he had to say so, and with his previous actions of perseverance, I believe he does not need to bear any responsibility for this matter.
"Steve, it's all my fault. I didn't listen to you and insisted on doing another cut..."
Fortunately, George is not always right like some leaders in the country. Saying this made Steve feel a little better.
Seeing the onlookers crowding around Zhuang Rui like stars holding the moon, Steve and George both felt a wry smile in their hearts.
After working hard all day to select a rough stone, they ended up making a wedding dress for someone else, and it was like giving it away for free. This made both Steve and George firmly remember the name Zhuang Rui.
The leakage incident that occurred in the quarry quickly spread. Not only did everyone participating in the Myanmar jade sale know about it, but the news also reached the country.
Many things cannot be publicized, and the final result of word-of-mouth communication became that Zhuang Rui showed his power that night, discerned stones with his divine eye, snatched food from the mouths of foreigners, and snatched a piece of top-quality jade worth hundreds of millions.
The antique shop and the jade shop are closely related. Zhuang Rui's people in the antique circle all called to congratulate him. Zhuang Rui was very depressed at first. Firstly, he was not a young adult, and secondly, he didn't have a bridal night to pick up stones.
An omission, is it such an exaggeration?
In the end, Zhuang Rui learned from Uncle De that Ganqing himself had been described as a monkey, with piercing eyes that could see through all jadeite, and that the 30 to 40 million pieces of material had been multiplied more than ten times in other people's mouths, so he directly
It has become three to four billion.
This news made Zhuang Rui both dumbfounded and alarmed. Has he been too popular during this period? Although no one believes this rumor, it is indeed the real truth.
Not only is there a lot of rumors in China, but also in Myanmar, Zhuang Rui is regarded as a living Buddha. As long as he enters the jade trading center, no matter where he goes, a group of people will follow him.
These people did not sincerely want to ask Zhuang Rui about the rough stone, but they wanted to take advantage. As long as Zhuang Rui stood still next to the rough stone, without asking, the people behind him would take out their pens and paper and mark the stone's number.
I wrote it down.
Even when Zhuang Rui was marking numbers in his notebook, a few pairs of bulging eyes could be seen behind him. Those people wished they could stay by Zhuang Rui's bed at night. They might even be able to talk in their sleep.
How many pieces of good material are there and what are the numbers?
And Zhuang Rui can't chase people away or show impatience, otherwise someone will immediately say that Zhuang Rui is showing off, which makes Zhuang Rui almost run away, "Brother, I'm neither a celebrity nor a giant panda, so why do you pay so much attention to me?"
At this moment, Zhuang Rui really felt what it means to be burdened by fame. This person is not that easy to be a good person. Fortunately, these people have no interest in his body. Otherwise, the nude photos of Zhuang Rui taking a shower in the manor would have been publicized all over the Internet.
.
After persisting for four or five days, Zhuang Rui finally gave in and hid in Hu Rong's manor never to show his face again. However, he had seen all the information on this public sale and asked Li every day.
Zhen Zhen or Peng Fei, who has returned from China, can help him place a clear bid.
Although Zhuang Rui has set a very high price, he still underestimated the sensational effect caused by his two stone interpretations. The price of rough stones on the public sale this time has tripled compared with previous years. Zhuang Rui sees
Two-thirds of the rough stones in the collection have been cut off by others.
The direct result of the popularity of rough stones is that the price of domestic jade jewelry has risen sharply. For almost better jewelry, if you change the price tag directly, the numbers on it will jump up several times.
Just like Zhuang Rui's Qin Ruilin store in Beijing, the ice cube pendant that could be bought for 30,000 yuan last year is now directly priced at 100,000 yuan. It is still a limited sale, attracting many rich people to snap up the best jade jewelry.
All this was because Zhuang Rui, a butterfly, flapped its wings in Myanmar, causing a price increase in domestic jade shops. After Zhuang Rui learned the news, he was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.
…
Although Zhuang Rui did not go to the public sale site for more than a week, he did not know how the businessmen who participated in the public sale came to Zhuang Rui's residence. There was an endless stream of people coming all day long.
I came here to ask Zhuang Rui for help in looking at the materials.
"Brother Zhuang, we might as well go back to the sea to hunt for treasure. It's boring to death in this manor..."
After sending away another group of people, Peng Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a beer from the refrigerator, drank it in one breath, and complained in front of Zhuang Rui.
"You think I do?"
Zhuang Rui glared at Peng Fei angrily. If he hadn't wanted to hoard some rough stones for Qin Ruilin, Zhuang Rui would have dragged Hu Rong to Pagan. It's better than being a free appraiser here, right?
After going through this for more than a week, Zhuang Rui admired Mr. Tang in his heart. He almost collapsed after just a week. I don’t know how Mr. Tang can continue to work tirelessly to help those people watch for free for decades.
Rough stone?
Seeing Qin Haoran and Hu Rong walking in from the outside, Zhuang Rui hurriedly greeted them and said: "Dad, tomorrow is the last day for the secret bidding opening. I will not participate. I will go directly to Pagan with Brother Hu..."
In the past few days, although Zhuang Rui has not won many marks, there are a lot of materials, and most of them are mid-to-high-end jade, which is enough to support the Qin Ruilin store in Beijing for three to five years, so Zhuang Rui wants to leave here as soon as possible.
I have been in Myanmar for almost 20 days. News came from Beijing that the ancient shipwreck museum is about to be built. When the ancient shipwreck from the Song Dynasty is moved into the exhibition hall, Zhuang Rui, the discoverer, must show up no matter what.
of.
"Well, although the cost this time is nearly 100 million euros more than the budget, the harvest is not small. Xiao Rui, you and Xiao Hu go to Pagan tomorrow..."
As Zhuang Rui's father-in-law, Qin Haoran was also very annoyed during this period. Those people who had no way to find Zhuang Rui actually targeted him.
You can imagine what kind of mood you will feel when you are observing rough stones every day and there is a circle of people around you.
"Dad, the bids for these pieces of materials will be opened tomorrow. Please pay attention. If you still have enough money, take them all..."
Zhuang Rui handed Qin Haoran a piece of paper with more than a dozen numbers on it, and the reserve price was written next to the number. Qin Haoran took the note and took a look at it, and said with a smile: "You kid, you still have some inventory, right?"
Don’t you have no money?”
"Haha, dad, if you don't want it, I can eat it all myself. Let Peng Fei stay for one day at most to bid..."
Zhuang Rui laughed. He had spent a lot of money this time, but he still had more than 200 million US dollars in savings in a Swiss bank. It was not a big problem to eat these more than ten pieces of food.
"Okay, if this batch of materials can produce good goods, you will be indispensable..."
Qin Haoran put the note into his handbag very gently. He no longer had any doubts about Zhuang Rui's eyesight. Qin Haoran even believed in what the piercing eyes said.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui took Li Zhen, Peng Fei and others on a direct flight from Yangon to Mandela, and then transferred to the old-fashioned helicopter that Hu Rong found to reach Myitkyina.
Finally, we took a bus and spent almost a whole day before we came to Hpakant again and stayed at Hu Rong's Chinese Town in Hpakant. At this time, the Burmese jadeite sale, which lasted for more than 20 days, finally came to an end.
Zhuang Rui received a call from his father-in-law and learned that of the last ten pieces of materials, a total of eight pieces were sold. The total transaction volume of this Burmese public sale reached the highest peak in history, totaling more than 18 billion RMB.
There is also news that in order to commend Zhuang Rui for his contribution to this public sale, the Myanmar military government actually gave Zhuang Rui the title of Honorary Citizen of Yangon. In a few days, someone will rush to Pagan to give Zhuang Rui the title.
Issue honorary citizen certificate.
This news made Zhuang Rui a little bit dumbfounded. He wanted to ask his father-in-law if this title would allow him to enjoy the Burmese marriage system in Myanmar.
You know, in Myanmar, as long as a man can afford it, no one will care about him even if he marries a hundred wives. Of course, Zhuang Rui only dared to think about it in his heart. He was running around outside all day, and he already felt sorry for his wife.
Son.
…
"Brother Hu, what are you doing? We are not going to fight..."
After resting for a night in Chinatown, Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong prepared to go to the jade mine early the next morning. When they went out, they saw that the two off-road vehicles had turned into armored vehicles.
"During this period, another war broke out in the Golden Triangle. Many drug lords have hid here. The situation in Pagan is a bit unstable. It is safer to build an armored vehicle..."
The richer a person is, the more he cherishes his life. Zhuang Rui never thinks that his own life is more valuable than others. After hearing Hu Rong's words, he immediately got into the armored vehicle obediently.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, we meet again..."
Zhuang Rui sat in the back seat of Zhuang Rui's car and looked out. The driver was Zhang Guojun, whom Zhuang Rui had met the year before. He couldn't help but be happy. When he got into Savage Mountain, he scared this old man.
light.
Zhang Guojun drove the steering wheel with one hand and said with a smile: "Boss Zhuang, do you want to go get some game to eat tonight?"
"That's great..."
After Zhuang Rui heard Zhang Guojun's words, he couldn't help but think of the incident when he and Peng Fei broke into Savage Mountain, as if it happened yesterday.
"Come on, if your kid disappears again, my heart won't be able to bear it..."
Hu Rong interrupted the conversation between the two. No matter in terms of net worth or influence in the industry, Zhuang Rui can no longer compare with the past. If something goes wrong, Hu Rong cannot afford it.
