"You have such a good relationship with Ruyan now? I remember you two didn't like each other when you first met?" Mr. Tang teased.
"Hmph, I need you to take care of it. And Ru Yan, Ru Yan, why do you call her so affectionate? What does that have to do with her?" Zheng Yating said with a cold snort.
"What kind of relationship do I have with her? It's just that I've met her a few times." Young Master Tang said with a guilty conscience. We haven't met her a few times, but the phone...
Humph, don’t think I don’t know that you talk on the phone every day.
Zheng Yating secretly thought to herself, of course, a smart woman will never clarify everything, that will only push out what originally belongs to her.
For Tang Ruyan, Zheng Yating actually felt that she was in the wrong. After all, she met Mr. Tang first, and they were constantly on the phone every day, but she had no chance to go further. As a result, she...
The atmosphere in the car began to become solemn. It took about half an hour to get from the Grand Hyatt Hotel to the jewelry exhibition. Young Master Tang sat upright, looking straight ahead, determined not to repeat yesterday's mistake, even though it was a wonderful mistake.
Looking at the passers-by in this mainland, Zheng Yating felt inexplicably the pressure. She, Miss Zheng, had countless young men falling under her pomegranate skirt in Xiangjiang. When she came to the mainland, which was considered relatively backward by the people of Hong Kong, she met a passer-by.
He actually outperformed all the young masters in Xiangjiang.
The most incredible thing is that the current situation is that he is competing with two other women for the right to pass by.
Yes, two.
Not only Tang Ruyan but also Yun Changshang's appearance also made Zheng Yating instinctively feel the danger.
This woman's appearance, temperament, body and other conditions are no worse than mine, and Young Master Tang's younger sister and Lin Dai'er are both called Sister Yun Changshang.
There is something very fishy here. Normally, which student would call himself sister? Usually people who have a special relationship would call her sister like this.
The reason why she was so anxious to recruit Young Master Tang was not only for the exhibition, but also because she was a little selfish. She didn't want Young Master Tang to stay with Yun Changshang.
"By the way, there is something at the jewelry exhibition that you should be interested in." Zheng Yating said after being silent for a long time.
Just waiting like this won't work. Zheng Yating, who had been thinking about it for a long time, decided to take the initiative. As the saying goes, men chase women through the mountains and women chase men through the veil. She took the initiative and was not afraid that Young Master Tang would fall under her pomegranate skirt.
"What?" asked Young Master Tang
"Betting on stones." Zheng Yating spit out two words from her mouth. She knew that Young Master Tang must be interested in this. Anyone who has won at gambling on stones has a special feeling for this thing. Young Master Tang has won.
people.
Young Master Tang was overjoyed when he heard this. Someone gave him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep. If not for Zheng Yating's phone call, Young Master Tang would have been planning to go shopping in the antique world. At least he would have to make up for the lunch money.
"Why is there gambling on stones at the jewelry exhibition?" Young Master Tang asked.
"Jadeite is originally a type of jade. In recent years, jadeite has been very popular in the mainland market, and the price range has also increased sharply. In response, the price of stone gambling has also been rising. Nowadays, those who play stone gambling are rich people who come to participate in jewelry exhibitions.
Most of the people are from the upper class and have high spending power. Naturally, urban businessmen do not want to miss this opportunity. They also applied for a booth. However, what we exhibited were finished jewelry. They directly exhibited gambling stones. Some people bought stones cut on site.
There are ups and downs, and the business is even hotter than that of jewelers like us." Zheng Yating said.
Young Master Tang and Zheng Yating were talking about gambling stones and jade all the way. Zheng Yating was doing most of the talking, while Young Master Tang was listening.
Although Young Master Tang knew about Gambling Stone before this, he only saw it from the antique appraisal book. He only knew that the thing came from Yunnan, but did not know much about the details. After Zheng Yating's explanation, Young Master Tang finally learned about Gambling Stone.
Have a more intuitive understanding.
Gambling stones, or jadeite ores, are currently only found in Myanmar. Every year, a public auction is held in Myanmar to auction the guessed gambling stones. The auctions are divided into open bids and hidden bids.
The clear marking is easy to understand, just like an auction, the highest bidder gets it.
The hidden mark is different. Each gambling stone has a number. If you value a gambling stone, just remember the number and write down the price, and then put it in. In the end, the organizer will collect it uniformly. The one with the highest price will get it. You don’t know.
How much others will put in, in order to ensure winning the bid, the price is often much higher than the auction price.
In addition to the public sale in Myanmar, there are actually other channels to obtain gambling stones, which is smuggling. There are two most smuggled items at the border between Yunnan and Myanmar, one is drugs, and the other is gambling stones.
Many big businessmen in the country who are engaged in stone gambling are inextricably linked with the jade mine owners in Myanmar. Most of their gambling stones come from smuggling. However, as Myanmar’s efforts to crack down on smuggling become more and more intense, they
Times are not going well, which has caused the price of gambling stones to rise again and again in China.
And Young Master Tang is planning when to go to Burma Public Market to withdraw some money...
Yes, it means withdrawing money. Gambling on stones is easier for Mr. Tang than withdrawing money from the bank.
The two of them talked and laughed, almost not feeling the passage of time.
The location of the jewelry exhibition is a large gymnasium. Young Master Tang is no stranger to this place. There was a job fair for thousands of people here more than half a month ago. At that time, Young Master Tang came here to look for a job. Unfortunately...
As the car slowly drove into the stadium, Young Master Tang felt a little emotional. He could still remember how embarrassed he was when he arrived last time.
Entering the exhibition hall, Zheng Yating took Young Master Tang and turned left and right until they came to a relatively large booth.
"Miss Zheng." Two pretty-looking girls in professional attire said at the same time.
Obviously these two people should be the booth service personnel invited by Zheng Yating.
"This is Li Xia, this is Wang Qian, they were recruited by me, and this is Tang Fei, my friend." Zheng Yating introduced.
Li Xia is slightly taller and Wang Qian is slightly shorter. They have delicate looks and can be regarded as beauties with a high rate of turning heads among the crowd. Of course, if they are put together with Zheng Yating, they will become the foil.
"Hello, Mr. Tang." They both said at the same time.
"Haha, hello." Young Master Tang smiled and nodded.
"How is the sales situation now?" Zheng Yating asked.
"Not bad, especially those platinum necklaces. They are all out of stock. The sales at several nearby booths are not as good as ours. A few customers have left their phone numbers and we will notify them when the goods arrive."
The taller waiter said
"Well, it's really good. You two have done a lot of work. Do it well. When the store opens, you will be the veterans." Zheng Yating said with a smile. She must encourage the employees, and the two of them did a good job.
"Thank you, Miss Zheng." Li Xia said gratefully. As a veteran, her salary can at least be increased by one level.
"Well, you guys watch first, Mr. Tang and I are walking around the exhibition hall." Zheng Yating said.
The two of them turned around and left, heading towards the stone gambling area. Before they even got close to the stone gambling area, Young Master Tang faintly heard words such as "The bet has gone up, the bet has gone up", etc. The two looked at each other with a smile on their lips.
.
As soon as he entered the stone gambling area, Mr. Tang was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"Hey, brother, you're here too, come on, come and have a look at my stall."
Young Master Tang seemed familiar with the voice. He turned his head and saw that this person seemed familiar.
The man looked at Mr. Tang's hesitation and said with a bright smile: "Brother, I don't know you. When we were at Longhu Resort, you and a little girl bought two gambling stones from me for 30,000 and 500 yuan.
As a result, it all went up significantly, and it is said that it was bought by Zheng's Jewelry Store in Xiangjiang for more than three million."
Young Master Tang couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He remembered that this person turned out to be Yang Hao, the owner of the stone gambling stall.
"It turns out to be Boss Yang. Look at my memory. Haha, Boss Yang is also here to participate in the exhibition?" Mr. Tang said with a smile.
"It's hard to do business these days. The price of gambling stones in Pingzhou is one per day. There is no way. If we just rely on the store, we will lose money. I just took advantage of this jewelry exhibition to rent a stall and do some small business."
Yang Hao said with a bitter face.
Young Master Tang knew that Pingzhou was in the south of China, close to Myanmar. Many stone gambling merchants gathered the smuggled gambling stones together and made a public offer. The rules were the same as in Myanmar, divided into open and covert bids.
.This public offering is called the Ping Chau public offering, also known as the small offering. The big offering is naturally the Burmese offering.
Of course, Young Master Tang would not believe what Yang Hao said. A good gambling stone could be sold for several million. Is this still a small business? Then what is his clothing factory? A small business?
"Haha, Boss Yang was joking. My friend and I came here to bet on stones. Since we met an acquaintance, let's go to your place first." Young Master Tang said.
"Who is this?" Boss Yang asked.
Every time he meets Young Master Tang, he always brings a top-notch woman with him. The one last time was already very beautiful. Unexpectedly, this one this time is also not bad at all. She is so beautiful.
Yang Hao felt envious. How could this boy be so young when he was a few years younger than himself? In terms of appearance, he was not much different from him. Could it be that his skills in picking up girls were not good?
"This is Zheng Yating, the heir to the Zheng's Jewelry Store in Xiangjiang you just mentioned. She bought the pieces of jade I found at Longhu Resort last time," Young Master Tang introduced.
Zheng Yating wanted to start a jewelry business in Haishi. Yang Hao was in the stone gambling business and was also a supplier of raw materials. He introduced Zheng Yating to her because he wanted her to accumulate more contacts.
When Yang Hao heard this, he admired Young Master Tang even more. He was the heir to Zheng's jewelry store in Xiangjiang. This identity could scare a lot of people to death. He actually seduced the heir to Zheng's jewelry in Xiangjiang by selling jade... Damn,
This is the rhythm of getting both people and wealth. For a while, Yang Hao was only envious, jealous and hateful towards Young Master Tang. Why didn't this good thing happen to me?
"Hello, Miss Zheng." Yang Hao extended his right hand respectfully. Facing the heir to the Zheng family jewelry store in Xiangjiang, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
