Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his big female finger at Chen Ran with a look of admiration: "Brother, you are still awesome!"
"If I had known that this old man said this, I wouldn't have let you increase the price." Chen Ran rolled his eyes at him, "Brother Feng, if someone asks you after the bid is opened, you can't say that I chose it for you."
It is conceivable that as Mr. Ma's words spread, everyone in the public market will definitely pay attention to the opening of bids for No. 635 and No. 1109. After the bids are opened, he and Zhu Feng will...
"No matter how we talk about two pieces of material, people will think that the two pieces of material were selected together. Brother, I don't have that ability at first glance. But brother, you have gambled outside many times..." Zhu Feng shook his head.
, he was present several times when Chen Ran bet on stones, so he knew Chen Ran's situation very well. When no one was paying attention, no one would know who Chen Ran was, but once it attracted people's attention, Chen Ran's previous bets would go up.
The cases must have been dug up.
Not to mention anything else, I will just talk about the bidder who failed to sell at the last auction and was shipped to Tengchong. When you mention this bidder, everyone will probably know who Chen Ran is.
"Brother, I'm telling you, you just think too much. You don't even think about throwing your 800 million euros in the public market. How can you still keep a low profile? Even without Old Man Ma's words,
When the bidding opens in the afternoon, everyone knows who you are!"
When Zhu Feng saw Chen Ran's grimace, he curled his lips and said disapprovingly. When he said this, he obviously had "resentment" in his stomach.
In the past, he felt that Chen Ran was very low-key. Of course, at that time, he did not feel that Chen Ran was "low-key", nor did he think of using the word "low-key" on Chen Ran. He just felt that Chen Ran was not public.
Now he obviously feels that Chen Ran is not only keeping a low profile, but also that he is a bit too low-key.
Thinking about his relationship with Chen Ran, I didn't know when Chen Ran became the deputy director of the General Staff Office, and he quietly raised 800 million euros to participate in the public offering.
Converting 800 million euros into RMB is almost 7 billion. Although Chen Ran said that some of the 7 billion funds were borrowed from bank loans and transferred from friends, but they can be borrowed from banks.
Being able to borrow money from friends is also a skill. Will a bank lend to you without assets as collateral? Will a friend lend to you without a strong relationship?
Things involving money cannot be accommodated by having good relationships or a strong backing. First of all, you must have the ability to repay the money. Otherwise, even your parents would not dare to borrow such a large amount of funds.
Here you go.
Moreover, he also knew from Huang Shang and others that Chen Ran had acquired a large jewelry company. At first, when Chen Ran told him that he had acquired Jin Yuxuan Jewelry Company, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he was not an insider, except for that
How could he know so clearly about the other famous jewelry companies? Only after listening to Huang Shang and others did he realize how big Jin Yuxuan was.
He had just acquired a jewelry company with assets of 7 to 8 billion and immediately raised another 7 billion to participate in the public offering... Is this still the little brother he knew?
This was the first thought that came to his mind after learning about Chen Ran's current situation.
Although he hasn't met Chen Ran much recently, the last time they met was two or three months ago. During this period, except for the two months when Chen Ran lost contact, the two had no contact at all.
break.
He thought he had a good relationship with Chen Ran, but Chen Ran never revealed anything to him during this process. If he said he was not dissatisfied, it would obviously be a lie.
However, he also knew what Chen Ran's temper was, so he just felt dissatisfied in his heart. Instead, he found out about Chen Ran. Although on the surface, his relationship with Chen Ran was still the same as before, in fact, these days he
But he has been adjusting his mentality when getting along with Chen Ran.
The feelings have not changed, but the mentality has changed. It is obviously inappropriate to regard Chen Ran as the little brother before.
"That's the only way." Chen Ran said helplessly. He didn't know what Zhu Feng said, but if Mr. Ma hadn't said this and he didn't interpret the stone on the spot, even if everyone knew it, they would just turn him away.
When a rich man is shopping for goods, he doesn't think about other aspects... After all, he invests in too many raw materials. Although other companies also bring a lot of funds, these big companies bid for mid-to-high-end materials, and the price of such materials is
If it is high, the amount of wool that can be taken out will naturally be less.
It seems that in the coming time, I will pretend to be more wealthy.
Chen Ran thought to himself.
………
Seeing Chen Ran and Zhu Feng gathering together and muttering mysteriously, Wu Laosan also came over with Xiao Hei. When Zhu Feng told him what had happened, he was immediately surprised and looked at it.
Chen Ran asked: "So there are good things in these two pieces of material?"
"No one can say whether it has happened or not." Chen Ran naturally would not tell the truth.
After hearing this, Zhu Feng said angrily: "Brother, look at you, are you still not telling the truth at this time?" He already believed in Chen Ran's ability, and now he has the good advice from Mr. Ma, the king of stone gambling, and he
It made him believe that there were good things in these two stones.
Chen Ran smiled and didn't answer. He could let Zhu Feng and the others know about his "ability" to gamble on stones, but he would not tell them anything about the material he "saw" without any concealment.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuchun, Huang Shang and the others also came over at this time, so Zhu Feng and Wu Laosan did not pursue further questions. Compared to the small circle the three of them now formed, their relationship with Huang Shang and the others was obviously not close to heart-to-heart.
, but some things are not convenient to say in front of them.
Of course, sooner or later they will know about No. 635 and No. 1109 wool, so there is no need to hide it from them.
After hearing this, several people were naturally surprised. Except for Zhang Shuchun, all of them were serious people in the industry. It can be said that they had heard about Mr. Ma's deeds since they entered this industry, and even in the above
They also witnessed Mr. Ma's bets with others at the last Jade Market, and several stone gambling enthusiasts who received guidance from Mr. Ma became multi-millionaires on the spot.
This made them very convinced of Mr. Ma's ability to "turn stone into gold", and Mr. Ma said in front of so many people that he was most optimistic about these two pieces, so these two pieces of wool must be able to cut good things.
However, compared to Zhu Feng and Wu Laosan, although they were surprised, they were not surprised. This was because Zhu Feng did not tell them that Chen Ran asked him to increase the price in the end.
We had lunch at the restaurant opposite the Guomao Hotel. There were too many people during the public sale period, and any decent restaurant on the street was always full. In order not to have to run around to find a place every time he ate, Zhu Feng, who has a lot of money,
I might as well book a private room here.
Before the meal was finished, Chen Ran received a call from Fatty Chang. The other party apparently learned from Zhao Guosheng that he was also here. Since he was eating, he didn't say much to the other party. He just agreed to meet at the fair at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Meet at the venue.
After dinner, Huang Shangping, Zhongyu Buying and Universiade each went to meet their friends, while Zhu Feng and others followed Chen Ran to the gem trading center.
The gem public sale was held in a golden hall of the gem trading center that can accommodate 4,000 people. Compared to the huge hall, the number of people in the venue was not too many, and most of them were foreigners, especially Thais and Japanese.
people.
Both countries use rubies as mother stones, and Thailand is also one of the top five "gem countries" in the world. However, the quality of rubies in Thailand is generally not good, so that the grade of Thai gems in the world is very low, compared with Myanmar.
Rubies give people the impression that one is a famous brand and the other is a miscellaneous brand. However, it is precisely because of the poor quality of Thai rubies that it has contributed to the development of Thailand's ruby processing industry, which is the largest ruby processing place in the world.
Chen Ran looked around again. The gem auction was not as tight as the jade auction. The whole day here was from eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening. After reading it again, he did not wait for the bidding to end.
When the time comes, he will invest again. Anyway, when he sees someone with a higher price than him, he will make up for it.
Zhu Feng and the others didn't have any intention of investing in rough gemstones, so they all helped Chen Ran to invest and quickly finished investing in the rough stones that Chen Ran wanted to invest. In the end, Zhu Feng's rise in investment made Chen Ran recommend a few pieces to him.
cast.
Another difference between the gem auction and the jade auction is that at the end of the jade auction, a large part of the materials will be sold out because no one bids.
This is not the case in public gem auctions. Generally, there will be bids for rough gems no matter how bad they are. There is a market for as many gems as there are, so there will always be bids. At most, the bids for poor quality gems will be very low.
Although Chen Ran only selected mid-to-high-end rough gemstones, the materials he finally sold still accounted for a large part of the share launched by the organizing committee, a quarter if not a third.
There were too many people at the jade public auction. Although some people noticed that Chen Ran placed a lot of bids, they only noticed but didn't care. But it was different when it came to the gem public auction.
There were not many people participating in the gem auction, and these people were basically acquaintances in this industry. Chen Ran and his team attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the venue in such a big battle. Goodbye
Those who didn't pay attention to Chen Ran's frequent attacks soon gathered together in groups and started talking.
Compared to the jade market, the gem market is still a very exclusive market. Seeing this situation, Chen Ran, a rich man, almost wanted to sweep away all the rough gems on the gem market without arousing their hostility.
These gem dealers were hostile to Chen Ran. Naturally, the organizer of the Myanmar Gems Fair treated Chen Ran and his entourage as the God of Wealth. Not only did the gem mine owners who contacted the gem dealers on the spot gave Chen Ran their business cards,
There was also a gem auction where the vice president of the organizing committee personally came to receive Chen Ran and his party.
Chen Ran didn't care about this. According to his thoughts, of course he didn't want to do this. After all, he would have to pay a higher price to get the wool he wanted, but there was nothing he could do about it, just like
Zhu Feng said that if the funds he brought were spent on the public market, it wouldn't be possible if he didn't become famous.
Since it can't be avoided, there is no need to hide it and just let it go. Whether it is jadeite or gemstone, it is not a one-time deal. No matter how much material he gets back this time, he will not be able to control it for a lifetime. He will definitely do it in the future.
It's still coming, so of course it's best to build a good relationship here first.
Therefore, Chen Ran accepted the business cards sent by the gem mine owners and finally left the phone number of the vice president of the organizing committee.
…
When he came out of the gem venue, Chen Ran unexpectedly received a call from Director Yang from China.
General Manager Yang did not call him directly on his mobile phone, but on the satellite phone used internally by the General Staff Feng Xianjun.
