The jade factory is not far away and will arrive in twenty minutes.
The gate of the jade factory is very grand. This is a new factory opened by Ma Juntao three years ago. He took over the jade factory business when he was thirty years old. At that time, there was only one factory. After taking over, one factory will be expanded on average every four years.
Now, Ma Juntao has four such jade factories under his name. The price of jade has risen sharply this year, which gave him the idea of expanding another factory.
The car drove directly into the factory.
The hygiene inside was briefly cleaned, and there were some people standing nearby, all wearing neat work uniforms.
The factory has more than 300 employees, including more than 20 stone bettors. More than half of these stone bettors were trained by Ma Juntao himself.
Ma Juntao's own stone gambling ability is average and he didn't learn much from his father, but he educates others very well. He has a special stone gambling training class in Kunming.
He will send some employees with good performance and talent in the factory for special training, which is why his stone gambling masters here are so prosperous.
In addition, there are seven stone gambling experts in his four jade factories, which is more than Anshi's stone gambling experts.
These seven talents are his foundation. If he can retain these seven people, the Jade King will have the greatest influence. Four of them have studied with the Jade King. Strictly speaking, they are the Jade King's apprentices.
Ma Juntao has always been polite to these people.
The factory is very large, with six large warehouses. There are now a lot of woolen materials in the warehouse, especially mid- to low-end woolen materials, which are piled full of them. First-come-first-served basis, General Kuba and others have priority in the woolen materials they come out of.
Purchasing rights.
In this Pingzhou public sale, he sent a lot of woolen materials, which were sold at a good price.
In addition to mining for himself, Ma Juntao sometimes also does some wool business. The wool business is more stable and is basically destined to make money for him.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Sandara, please come inside!"
After getting off the car, Ma Juntao ran over and invited Li Yang and the others in. He also knew the identity of Sandara. This was another surprise for him. Sandara was the direct heir of the Thornton family, so he also had to fight well.
relation.
The Thornton family and General Kuba were at odds, but that was limited to family rivalry in Burma.
For their businessmen, as long as they can make money, there is no such thing as an enemy.
The Jade King nodded slowly. This factory is new and has only been opened for three years. It is his first time here, but the layout and management are very reasonable. Ma Juntao is not good at gambling, but he is good at doing business.
With just one look, the Jade King could tell that the factory was operating properly, and that was enough for him.
At least the kids didn't disappoint him.
"Li Yang, let's take a look together. To be honest, I'm the first one here too!"
The Jade King said with a smile, and Ma Juntao immediately walked to his father's side. If he wanted to establish a good relationship with Li Yang, he had to rely on the Jade King.
"good!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded. This factory is very big and covers a large area. Being able to have such a big place in Kunming also shows Ma Juntao's ability.
Li Yang is really interested in the jade factory. He has shares in the mines in Myanmar, so he doesn't have to worry about the raw materials. He is also learning jade carving, and he is the first disciple of Chen Wuji, the master of jade carving in Jieyang. This gives him great advantages.
Good connections and prestige.
As long as he is willing, he can open a good jade factory. With his connections and strength, the jade factory will definitely make money.
In this way, in the future, the raw materials he stored by betting on stones can be turned into finished products very quickly, earning more profits. He is not short of money now, but the foundation is short of it. If he makes more money, he can help more
Several children, let them grow up healthier and happier.
What's more, no one would object to making more money. Li Yang is rich, but he is still far behind the top rich people.
Now, Li Yang came to visit purely with an inspection perspective.
The jade factory was large, but not chaotic and orderly. Ma Juntao took them to visit it piece by piece. During the tour, Li Yang kept asking some key questions.
When they visited, the employees in various positions were still working, but they were all secretly watching Li Yang and the Jade King.
The most people peeked at Li Yang. Li Yang was younger than many of them. It was hard for them to imagine that such a young man could actually defeat the Jade King, currently recognized as the number one person in the stone gambling world.
It's just hard for them to imagine, not that they don't believe it.
After the Burmese Revolution, there were so many rumors about Li Yang that they had no choice but to believe them. Li Yang also once attacked a jade factory in Kunming, and that attack was supported by the Jade King.
These people in their jade factory know this better.
The young man in front of me is an important figure in the world of stone gambling who would shake the world three times.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers in the distance. Li Yang and Jade King raised their heads at the same time. The sound was not loud and seemed to be some distance away. It definitely did not come from their factory.
Ma Juntao was very smart and walked over immediately and whispered: "Three years ago, a raw material trading market was formed here. It was sponsored by the government. At that time, several jade factories were moved here. This raw material trading market was very successful. Now
It is also famous throughout Yunnan, where people often break stones, and when there is a big rise, they will set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
Ma Juntao's explanation is very simple and clear.
There is a stone betting market next to this place, and people often play stone games here. For people who play stone games, a big rise is indeed a matter of celebration. Many markets have the custom of setting off firecrackers.
In fact, this is also true. The sound of firecrackers is often heard from this market, and the people in the jade factory have long been used to it.
They don't set off firecrackers here only after they have unlocked the glass species. They will set off firecrackers when there is a certain increase. Some people even want a good fortune and will set off firecrackers to celebrate if the wool they bought increases by one or two hundred thousand.
As a result, when the market is popular and business is good, you can hear the sound of firecrackers almost once or twice every day.
The people in the jade factory know this, but Li Yang and the others don't know, and neither does the Jade King. He has never been to this jade factory, let alone this market.
In fact, the reason why Ma Juntao opened a jade factory here was because of this market.
At first, people from the government approached him and wanted him to take the lead in moving a factory here. At that time, he was thinking of opening a new factory. When he heard about various discounts, he immediately agreed and opened a new factory instead of moving the old factory.
Of course the government was satisfied with his support. It provided land and various discounts were immediately put in place, making Ma Juntao's jade factory the largest in the area.
"Mr. Ma, are you interested in going and seeing it together?"
Li Yang turned around and asked the Jade King softly. Hearing the sound of firecrackers made him feel a little itchy. Firecrackers are indeed something that can easily arouse people's interest, especially the sound of firecrackers after betting increases.
"Okay, let's go and see together!"
The Jade King smiled and agreed directly. He was older and was not so eager to join in the fun, but Li Yang was following him today, which made his heart a little active. It would be a good idea to go and have a look.
He has not been to such a stone gambling market for many years. Every year he either gambles on mines or participates in big events like the Myanmar Grand Open. He rarely goes to small places.
"I'll show you the way!"
Ma Juntao immediately waved and called a few employees to come over. The market was very close and they didn't need to drive, but it was still necessary to ask some people to follow them. These people could do some dirty work and also serve as bodyguards.
The more people there go, the stronger the momentum becomes, and people dare not underestimate them.
But having said that, if the Jade King and the Jade Saint were in the same place at the same time, no one would dare to underestimate them. If the two of them stood together, their influence would not be one plus one, it would be called an earthquake, unless someone went crazy.
In less than ten minutes, Li Yang and the others arrived at the market.
The market is also not small, with several rows of shops inside. More than 90% of these shops are stone and jade shops, selling stone and finished jade.
The prices of these jade articles range from tens to hundreds to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. These jade articles are also provided by jade factories nearby. They only sell them and do not process them.
The sound of firecrackers came from the Jiese District of the market. When Li Yang and others arrived, the sound of firecrackers had stopped long ago, but the people did not disperse.
There are many people here, at least thirty or forty people, all gathered around the public stone dissolving machine under the greenhouse.
The stone dissolving machine is provided in the market, and the shopkeepers who do business only need to sell things here. If there are customers who want to disassemble the stone, they can bring them directly and the stone dissolving machine will be dismantled for free.
This is very convenient. Of course, the wool comes from the sheep, and the high management fees in the market include the maintenance costs of the stone removal machine.
Ma Juntao was very familiar with the people here and took Jade King and Li Yang directly into the innermost area. Some people were dissatisfied, but they kept silent after seeing the market management's attentiveness to Ma Juntao.
The scene was slightly chaotic, but fortunately not many people came in from Li Yang and they quickly recovered.
"The white salt sand shell has strands but no rough edges, just like pine flowers!"
Li Yang nodded slightly. He had finished solving the puzzle just now, and now he has solved another piece. What he commented on was all ordinary performance, quite satisfactory, and nothing important. These ordinary stone gamblers can see that.
"Tell me, can I bet on the price of this piece of wool? If so, how much can it rise?"
The Jade King suddenly smiled, leaned over, and asked in a very low voice. When he came in, Li Yang wore his big sunglasses, and the Jade King wore a sunhat, so that no one around him could see them clearly.
Li Yang looked up at him in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "This piece of wool has three open cracks, but there is also a dark one, so forget it. The big one has little effect.
But that dark band is extremely destructive, and the pine flowers are average in performance, and this pine flower overlaps with the dark band. Even if there is jade, the possibility of being destroyed is very high, so I am not bullish!"
