"Mr. Chen, I'm late, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Zhao Guosheng rushed over and said to Chen Ran with an apologetic look. When Chen Ran called him, he was accompanying several people in the wool business.
The boss was eating. Although he ended the meal over there after receiving a call from Chen Ran, it was still half an hour later when he hurried over.
"Manager Zhao, I am the one who should be sorry for disturbing you so late." Seeing Zhao Guosheng rushing in such a hurry, Chen Ran felt a little guilty. If he had known that Zhao Guosheng was busy, he would not have called him. They
You can always find out if you go out and ask. Although you may be fooled, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Zhao Guosheng chuckled: "Mr. Chen, you are out of touch when you say this. This is all what you should and should be. Haha, don't call me Manager Zhao. Just call me Lao Zhao like little brother Guo."
Although the more than 1.6 million yuan was nothing to him, using money to help others eliminate disasters, Chen Ran's actions made him very fond of Chen Ran.
"Hey, I said you two are still finished, Lao Zhao, the brothers want to see the woolen fabrics, do you have any connections?" Seeing the two of them being so polite, Guo stood aside.
Hai couldn't stand it anymore. Chen Ran took people to the Jade Association and left him in the hotel with Bawang and two armed policemen. He was already bored.
"Okay." Chen Ran glared at Guo Hai, nodded towards Zhao Guosheng, and then said: "Old Zhao, don't call me President Chen, just call me Chen Ran." We can get to know each other here.
If you're an acquaintance, that's naturally best.
"Haha." Zhao Guosheng smiled and then asked: "Brother Chen, do you want to go gambling on stones? Then you have found the right person. Our Lord Jiu is the largest woolen merchant in Yunnan, and the woolen market in Tengchong, as well as nearby
In Ruili and Yingjiang, 80% of the wool merchants get their goods from our Lord Jiu."
Zhao Guosheng obviously had great respect for their ninth master, and when he said this, his face was full of pride.
Zhao Guosheng's words shocked everyone present. To be honest, looking at Zhao Guosheng's simple dress, their group really looked down upon Zhao Guosheng. They didn't take the Jiu Ye seriously, but they didn't expect him.
Jiu Ye is said to have such a big background. Eighty percent of the wool merchants in places like Tengchong, Ruili, and Yingjiang get their goods from Jiu Ye. Although the wool market in Tengchong is a bit declining now, this is not the case.
It's not a small amount. Even if it's a bit false, it's still the largest wool merchant in Yunnan.
Even Chen Ran was surprised. When Zhao Guosheng mentioned Jiu Ye for the first time, it aroused his curiosity. He thought that the other person was also a famous jade research expert in the country like the old man, but he did not expect that the other person was actually the largest jade expert in Yunnan.
Woolen Materials Merchant, this is really a big BOSS, no wonder Zhao Guosheng admires their Jiuye so much.
Knowing that Master Jiu is the largest wool wholesaler in Yunnan, Chen Ran became more curious about Master Jiu. Who doesn't know how to make money in the woolen business? If Master Jiu can become the largest wool merchant in Yunnan, he must also be in charge.
A big shot of the party.
Of course, he was just curious, and he didn't go to see the Ninth Master. If he had thought about going to see the Ninth Master at first, he didn't think about it now. At first, it was because of the thought.
, after all, he can be regarded as the disciple of the old man. Now that he has arrived in Tengchong, he naturally wants to meet the old man's friends. Now that he has heard that Master Jiu has such a big background, the old man has not mentioned the matter of Master Jiu to him. It is obviously just ordinary.
If you have friendship, then there is no need to pay a visit.
"Old Zhao, you are in this business. That's just right. We are worried about having nowhere to go. When we get to your place, it will be cheaper for us."
Hearing what Zhao Guosheng said, Guo Hai's eyes lit up. He looked like he was eating from a wealthy family. He said he wanted Zhao Guosheng to give them a cheaper price, but his intention was obviously for you. He and Zhao Guosheng couldn't be more interested.
We got to know each other better when we were on the road, so I didn't hold back from joking with Zhao Guosheng.
Zhao Guosheng shook his head dumbfounded: "Brother Guo, although I am in this business, I don't have any goods. Our Jiuye is a wool wholesaler. Every once in a while, we transport a batch of goods back from Myanmar.
It was robbed by those woolen merchants, but I know quite a few woolen merchants. I will take you there later and say hello to them. They will definitely not charge you more."
"Okay, okay." After hearing what Zhao Guosheng said, Guo Hai grinned and nodded excitedly.
It would be best to have such an acquaintance to lead the way. Chen Ran asked if anyone else in their group was willing to go. Now that Tengchong is going to hold a national jade carving competition, Tengchong is naturally full of jade carvers. Two jade carvers are in
When they came back with Chen Ran, they told Chen Ran to go meet their friends. The remaining ones were Zhu Lao, the jade mining research expert, Deputy Secretary-General Li and two staff members.
Mr. Zhu and Deputy Secretary Li are both scholars who are really engaged in this field. They are both in their early sixties. Although they have a good conversation with Chen Ran on the topics they study, their energy and energy are limited when playing.
Chen Ran and his group couldn't play together anymore. The two of them also wanted to go out for a walk, but they didn't do it with the intention of gambling on rocks, but for investigation and research, so they didn't follow Chen Ran and his group to help. After all,
Even if they went out for a look, they wouldn't be back for long, so following Chen Ran would be a disappointment to them.
In this case, Chen Ran asked two armed policemen to follow them out, and Zhao Guosheng also arranged for someone to be their guide.
"You have been here a few years ago. A few years ago, Burmese jade was transported to Tengchong by land. It was the golden age of Tengchong jade and wool trading. At that time, Tengchong was the largest wool market in the country, and wool was everywhere.
Processing factories, these wool processing factories are full of cars of businessmen from Hong Kong and Guangdong every day. Even an ordinary wool processing factory has a monthly turnover of 10 million yuan." Zhao Guosheng called a wool merchant and asked him to
I took my friends to see the wool and arranged a car to take Chen Ran and his party to the suburbs. Tengchong's wool processing factories are usually in the suburbs. On the way, Zhao Guosheng told Chen Ran and his party about Tengchong wool.
The glory of the market.
Tengchong Wool Market used to be the largest wool market in the country, but now it has lost its glory. The main reason is that starting from a few years ago, the Myanmar government strengthened its control over the country's jade wool, and the wool is no longer exported through Tengchong.
Is sold directly at Yangon auction.
When they were auctioned there, they were not sold individually, but in piles as a whole. Tengchong wool merchants with small capital did not dare to come forward. Those who came forward to auction were all wealthy bosses from Guangdong and Hong Kong.
In particular, the current environment in Myanmar has given rise to new transportation routes, from waterway smuggling to trade in Guangdong, which has had a great impact on the Tengchong wool market.
The shipping cost for 1 kilogram of wool to Tengchong is hundreds of dollars, while the transportation fee for smuggling 1 ton by water is only a few thousand yuan. Although it takes a long time, there is no requirement for the length of transportation time for jade wool. There are several markets in Guangdong.
It has already replaced Tengchong and become a new trading market. Because there are many buyers there, "the best wool can only be found there."
Ruili, Yingjiang and other places near Tengchong have also become new wool markets. They are ethnic minority areas and have looser tax policies than Tengchong.
Every piece of wool sold in Tengchong has to pay a 33% tax, but in Yingjiang, many shops opened by Indians and Burmese people do not pay tax at all. Of course, the prices are low, and many locals in Tengchong have begun to trade there.
Although the dominant position in the woolen fabric market is being lost, there are still good woolen fabrics left in Tengchong. At present, the woolen fabrics coming to Tengchong are all shipped directly from the mines in Myanmar through private relationships, and this route includes Ruili, Yingjiang and other places.
Basically, it is all controlled by Master Jiu. In fact, to put it bluntly, Master Jiu is the largest wool smuggler in Yunnan.
"Oh, if I had only known what kind of association I would have joined at that time, I would have been in the wool business. Maybe I would be a big boss now." Zhang Shuchun said regretfully. He really had the urge to do the wool business back then, but it was just at home.
The old man's thinking was relatively traditional and he was not allowed to do it. He was arranged to join the association based on his family connections.
"Old Zhang, your idea is wrong." After hearing Zhang Shuchun's words, Chen Ran, his immediate boss, naturally wanted to criticize him.
Zhang Shuchun smiled and then realized that there was a big leader sitting next to him. He smiled and asked with interest: "President Chen, how much money have you prepared? Seeing that you are so grand, should you have prepared it?"
Less?"
Whether the Tengchong Wool Market is brilliant or not has little to do with him, so Zhao Guosheng's words not only did not dishearten him, but also made him sharpen his sword and look like he was ready for a big fight. He came here this time to do enough.
He guessed that Chen Ran was the same as him, so he wanted to explore Chen Ran's background.
"What? Do you still want to have a big fight?" Seeing Zhang Shuchun's appearance, Chen Ran asked instead of answering. He was ready to have a big fight because he was confident in his heart and was not afraid of ruining the gamble. Could it be that Zhang Shuchun also wanted to have a big fight?
Have a fight?
"Hey, President Chen, you are a billionaire. How can I compare with you? I only brought one million with me, and I even brought my wife with me." Zhang Shuchun shook his head with a playful smile.
.
"Come on, you have a wife and children, so you can pay her back." Guo Hai didn't follow Zhang Shuchun's advice, but when he heard Zhang Shuchun say he had brought one million, he was shocked. He came.
At that time, he was not prepared at all. Although he thought about coming here to bet on stones, he did not think about the money issue. This was mainly because the last time he followed Chen Ran, he only paid a few thousand yuan, but he won one or two bets.
Millions made him think that it would be enough to bring tens of thousands of dollars when betting on stones. It would be best if the bet went up. If tens of thousands of dollars were lost, then why bet? Wouldn't he be a fool if he gambled again?
If all those who play stone gambling have the same idea as him, it is estimated that the bosses of the woolen fabric business will not need to do anything anymore and just close down.
Chen Ran naturally didn't believe that Zhang Shuchun had brought his wife Ben out. Although this guy's family background was not as good as his, it was still not thin.
"I brought a lot with me this time. I plan to stock up a batch of goods and go back." Sooner or later, they would know about it, so Chen Ran didn't hide it from them.
"You want to stock up on goods? That's a huge financial stress." Zhang Shuchun was immediately surprised when he heard this. He thought that Chen Ran had gambled on the Universiade and now that he's in Tengchong, he's definitely going to do something big.
I was in the market, but I didn’t expect that Chen Ran actually had the idea of making a fortune in the wool market. It’s really impossible to stock up on goods without a capital of 50 to 60 million. Since he wants to stock up on goods, he usually has to stock up on goods.
Is it a clear source or a good-performing source? Otherwise, who would be so bold and dare to stock up on goods? A good-performing source can easily cost millions, so you can imagine it.
Zhao Guosheng was also surprised when he heard Chen Ran's words. He also thought that Chen Ran and the others were just playing for fun, but he didn't expect that Chen Ran actually wanted to stock up. No wonder he didn't care about the one or two million yuan.
Here, it seems that Brother Chen also has a wealthy family.
Guo Hai didn't feel anything at all. Chen Ran was so generous, so he was naturally more proud. In his eyes, since Chen Ran did this, he had a reason to do it. Yang Shijie and the two armed policemen naturally didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, in their eyes
In his eyes, Chen Ran is a big boss.
Knowing that Chen Ran wanted to stock up, not just for fun, Zhao Guosheng's expression became serious: "Brother Chen, you plan to stock up? It's a pity that you came late. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have been better."
You can get the goods directly from Master Jiu, or you can wait a little longer for the next batch of goods from Master Jiu to arrive, and then get the goods directly from Master Jiu."
But Chen Ran shook his head: "It's not that troublesome. I don't plan to stock up so much. Let's test the water first and then talk." After that, he added: "If you have this plan in the future, I will trouble Master Jiu again."
Going directly to Master Jiu to get the goods would naturally have more good ones, but it was not suitable for him because the goods would definitely come in batches from Master Jiu. It would be better for him to pick and choose where he could.
These wool merchants were here to choose, but he didn't insist on saying that there might be a chance to cooperate with Master Jiu in the future.
"That's okay." Zhao Guosheng didn't think much about it. He obviously regarded Chen Ran as someone who had just entered this industry and didn't dare to play such a big game yet. He wanted to practice his skills first.
As the group of people were talking, they arrived at the suburbs. The commercial vehicle parked directly in front of a wool processing factory. As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties greeted him enthusiastically: "Old man.
Zhao, you suddenly ran away while you were drinking, how could you come to my place now that you have free time?"
