The scene after the bidding ended was no different from the scene when you came out of the examination room after taking a college entrance examination. Everyone was hiding and tucking in before the end. Now that the bidding is over, there is no scruple anymore and everyone answered the question like a student. This
Asked whether you voted for a certain number, and asked how much you voted for a certain number... After getting the answer right, there will naturally be those who regret it, some who are excited, those who are happy, and those who gloat... Of course, there are also some mistakes in answering questions.
People who make simple mistakes like filling out the card incorrectly fill out the bid form incorrectly or place the wrong bid.
As the bidding ended, everyone formed a small circle in twos and threes and started talking. They were talking when they were in the venue, and they were kicked out of the venue and were talking at the door of the venue.
Just like taking the college entrance examination, the most popular students at this time are naturally the top students who are good at studying. If you want to get the correct answer, of course you should find the right ones who are good at studying.
The same is true for the public sale now. The famous Jade Kings and jewelry giants were all surrounded, and there were even many reporters participating, as if it was a press conference.
Huang Shang and others were eager to know what the Jade Kings thought of the materials they had voted for, and whether others had voted for their materials, and how much they had voted for, so after they came out, they all wanted to come over and listen. Even Zhu Feng and Wu Laosan
He also unconsciously joined in the fun.
Chen Ran naturally had no such intention, but he also took a look, firstly to see the bidding situation of these big guys in the stone gambling world, and secondly to know each other.
The "understanding" here does not mean mutual acquaintance with the other party, but Chen Ran's unilateral acquaintance with the other party is enough. Now he only wants to keep a low profile and naturally does not want the other party to know him, not to mention that in this industry, although he
He is somewhat famous, but his circle is very small. Now that I know people, they won't take him seriously.
Before coming to Myanmar, Chen Ran and Vice President Lin learned about all aspects of the jewelry industry. In addition to the industry situation and the situation of major jewelry companies, Vice President Lin naturally also told him who is currently in the industry.
The limelight is relatively strong.
The big guys surrounded in front of me are obviously the most popular people in the industry right now.
Chen Ran has seen some of them in the past few days, while others have not yet been seen.
In addition, by observing the bids put in by other people in the bidding box, Chen Ran also noted down several powerful people who competed with him.
There were a lot of pieces that Chen Ran thought no one would value, but it turned out that someone also paid a high price. If it was just one or two pieces, it could still be said to be a coincidence, but there were many pieces, and it was still for these few people, so it was obviously not a coincidence.
…
Although Chen Ran was able to get the stones in the end by taking advantage of checking the bid box, he did not dare to underestimate these people at all.
And these people are basically famous people with quite a lot of fame.
However, Chen Ran has only heard of each other, but doesn't know which one is which. Now it's time to check them out. After all, these people are likely to be his biggest competitors in the future. Knowing each other will make it easier for him to investigate.
"Military sentiment".
…
You don't have to ask around, you can tell who is who by listening to the comments of people around you.
"What I value most in this batch of materials are No. 635 and No. 1109. I invested 250,000 euros in No. 635, and 3.85 million euros in No. 1109..." The person who said this was none other than Gambler.
Mr. Horse, King of Stone.
Times are different from the past. In the past, who would dare to call people names like "No. 1 in the world" and "King of so-and-so" etc., but in modern times, such names can be seen everywhere.
Although the stone gambling industry is not that widespread, many Jade Kings have emerged, and even one province can have one Jade King.
Some Jade Kings are okay, they have a strong eye for stone betting, but they lack influence in this industry so that the name of the Jade King is a bit unworthy of the name. It doesn't matter if such an Jade King is called the Jade King.
, but some Jade Kings are completely publicized, or they are named "Emerald Kings" by the lay media because they gambled a few dollars, and then they became "Emerald Kings" through word of mouth.
, or else they have ulterior motives and rely on publicity to promote the name "Emerald King".
Everyone has a steelyard in their mind. A layman hears other people saying that this person is the "Emerald King" and then thinks of the other person as the "Emerald King". But among the real experts, everyone knows who has that ability and who doesn't.
, it’s just that now we pay attention to being friendly and getting rich, even if we know it in our hearts, we won’t tell it. When we meet someone who has real ability, even if he is not qualified to be called “Emerald King”, we will respectfully call him “Emerald King” in terms of face.
In fact, in the past, if you wanted to become the "Emerald King", you not only had to have a strong eye, but also had a huge influence in this industry.
The "influence" here is not how famous he is because of his ability to gamble on stones, but how much he has contributed to this industry. In the past, it was simply prestige.
Being called a "king" means that you are regarded as the leader. Since you are everyone's leader, you must safeguard everyone's interests, that is, the interests of the entire industry.
Only those who can do this can be called "King".
Just like the two generations of Jade Kings during the Anti-Japanese War, they both made great contributions to protecting everyone's interests and even sacrificed themselves for it.
Such an "Emerald King" is naturally respected.
After these two Jade Kings, there was no Jade King again because the country was in the special period of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was not until the appearance of Long Jiuye in the 1980s that this vacuum was filled.
Friends who know history know that 1982 was the fourth year of my country's reform and opening up and the shift of the focus of the party and the country's work from class struggle to economic work.
It was only in this year that the ban on jewelry was lifted at the political level, and it was also this year that my country's jewelry industry and jewelry market slowly recovered.
Prior to this, Myanmar's jadeite was sold to Japan and Southeast Asian countries. Although there was also some market in Hong Kong and Macao, the largest market at that time was Japan, which even regarded jadeite as its national stone.
The later Tengchong Jade Market was rebuilt step by step by Long Jiuye from Japan. Although the huge domestic market would gradually attract the Japanese market as soon as the domestic ban was lifted, there was no Long Jiu.
With the efforts of my generation, I am afraid that the huge domestic market will only be given to the Japanese at a discount.
The market is there, but what is missing?
Lack of talent! There is a lack of talent for stone gambling, or a lack of standards for stone gambling. Although there are already many experienced stone gambling masters in Yunnan, they are undoubtedly just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge market, and these stone gambling masters are also
They all figured it out by themselves, and there is no certain standard. Without standards, it is difficult to teach it to others.
Mr. Ma started out as a geological expert and scholar and later entered the stone gambling industry. He has been involved in the stone gambling industry for forty years and has been gambling on jade for more than 20 years.
Rich men and even billionaires.
In order to make it easier for people to identify and grade jade, Mr. Ma also founded the "Image Jade Science" theory and proposed the "Six Elements for Judging the Quality of Jade", which is still the authoritative criterion for identifying the quality of jade.
While betting on stones, Mr. Ma wrote articles about his experiences and methods of betting on stones and passed them on to the world. Most of the current standards for identifying jadeite and betting on stones were proposed by Mr. Ma, and today’s jewelers and wool dealers use stone betting.
The methods are basically passed down by Mr. Ma.
Therefore, although Long Jiuye and Mr. Ma are not the Jade Kings selected as before, they are recognized in the industry as two genuine "Emerald Kings".
The most popular thing about Long Jiuye was that in the 1980s and 1990s, he rarely appeared in public in the 21st century, usually at the Jade Club. Long Jiuye would not appear in public events like this. Therefore, now
Very few people will mention Long Jiuye anymore. The younger generation who have never been to Yunnan or Tengchong don’t even know that there is an Emerald King like Long Jiuye.
Without Long Jiuye, now Mr. Ma is undoubtedly the only "Emerald King" recognized. In order to distinguish him from other Jade Kings, the industry calls Mr. Ma the "King of Gambling Stones". In addition, because Mr. Ma created Tong
The psychic jadeite under the banner of Lingling Jewelry and Psychic Jewelry is also known as the "Psychic Jade King".
The influence of the other Jade Kings in the industry is obviously not comparable to that of Mr. Ma, but when it comes to stone betting, these few are also very capable, and everyone will respectfully call them "Emerald Kings" when they meet.
”.
Among these jade kings, Jade Saint Bai Fengxian has been the most popular in recent years.
…
Mr. Ma is not only well-known in the industry, but also has a very good reputation, so he has the most people around him. When faced with people's inquiries, he does not hide his answers and answers them immediately.
After hearing his answer, the people around him immediately started talking. Fortunately, most people had an impression of No. 1109, but most of them had no impression of No. 635.
There is nothing good to say about No. 635, but for No. 1109, those who did not vote regretted it greatly, and those who did did so regretted it even more, because almost no one voted at a higher price than Mr. Ma.
Regardless of whether I voted or not, after hearing this, I just wanted to re-submit my previous bid...
Of course, not everyone regretted it. One of them did not regret it after hearing this. This person was none other than Zhu Feng
After Zhu Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then immediately squeezed out from the surrounding area surrounded by his bodyguards and found Chen Ran standing on the edge of the perimeter.
"Brother, is the piece of material you asked me to add 150,000 yuan to be No. 1109?" Zhu Feng couldn't wait to ask after seeing Chen Ran.
He had a lot of materials to invest in. He definitely couldn't remember the numbers of the other materials, but in the end, he still remembered the piece of material that Chen Ran asked him to increase the price to re-invest, and he also remembered the number, which seemed to be 1109.
Number.
"Brother Feng, there's no need to look, it's number 1109." Chen Ran interrupted him when he saw that he was looking for a list to confirm.
"Really?" Zhu Feng stared.
Chen Ran nodded affirmatively.
"Old man Ma paid 385W. We just have 150,000 more than him. Fortunately, brother, you asked me to add 150,000 more, otherwise..." After confirming, Zhu Feng suddenly became happy, and he was a little happy at the same time.
Fortunately, Chen Ran finally asked him to add another 150,000 yuan. Without the 150,000 yuan, the bid would not have been as high as Old Man Ma's.
"Brother Feng, if I had known this, I wouldn't have asked you to increase the price." Chen Ran didn't look happy at all. Instead, he sighed after hearing Zhu Feng's words.
Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that something was wrong with Chen Ran's expression, so he asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ran shook his head helplessly, looked around and saw no one else before saying: "Brother Feng, you invested 150,000 more than Mr. Ma on No. 1109, and I invested 50,000 more than Mr. Ma on No. 635. If nothing else happens,
