The day after the banquet, the jade auction began. The "brothers" and "partners" who were chatting and laughing at the banquet suddenly became competitors again.
After a long and incomprehensible speech in Burmese, the public meeting officially began.
Most of the rough stones on the public market are semi-finished window materials. The seller has inspected them and cut out "windows" in key parts to observe the internal structure.
For such materials, you can basically judge the internal cracks and water-logging trends from the appearance and windows, so the purchase risk is relatively small.
However, the MD government is also a thief. The low-risk window materials are all hidden, so that buyers can't figure out each other and take advantage of them.
After the public sale began, various large jewelry companies, led by so-called stone gambling experts, began to "sweep goods."
In fact, the so-called stone gambling has a history of only a hundred or so years, and MD here is famous for being "uneducated". Where can the "stone gambling experts" come from? At most they are experienced teachers who have dug too much jade.
father.
Of course, if you have a PhD in geology and a master's degree in thermogenic rocks, coupled with an experienced teacher, you can basically kill people with two swords...
Although Zhou Yan is not a geology major, he has studied geology and thermogenic rocks in order to bet on rocks. Moreover, Zhou Yan also has rich quarrying experience.
Of course, for people like Zhou Yan who don't like gambling, it is particularly important to know the opponent's trump card.
Because a deposit and advance payment are required, Zhou Yan can more easily obtain the other party's stone gambling fund information and infer the funds that each company can spend on each gambling stone.
After knowing the other party's hole cards, carefully calculate how many pieces each gambling stone can produce, and then based on your own situation, determine how much you can bet to ensure winning the bid, and whether there is still sufficient profit after winning the bid.
Although the profits of some big stone bettors are relatively low, Zhou Yan still bit the bullet and placed a bid...
Little Alfred, who was following Zhou Yan, still judged some information from the confusion on Zhou Yan's face: "Boss, since the profit margin is relatively low, just give up..."
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If possible, I hope we can stock up on more good jadeite materials in recent years..."
"Why?" Not only little Alfred was curious, but even Lin Shengfei was a little surprised.
"Jadeite rough, after all, is also an ore," Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "The mining of ore also needs to follow objective laws. The quality of the ore mined in the early stage is relatively poor, and the quality in the mid-term is stable and relatively good. When it comes to mining,
In the final stage, only the ore tailings are left, and the quality is naturally very poor.
Moreover, with MD’s current industrial base and mining capabilities, these jadeite rough stones that are easy to mine will basically be exhausted in another five or six years.”
In fact, in the years before Zhou Yan came back, the mining of raw jadeite was already in trouble, and even the glass species had become a legendary thing.
Jade is similar to Hetian jade, but the Hetian jade mountain material is carried by the river and turned into seed material; while jadeite forms a thick shell after a long period of action in the river.
Zhou Yan has never seen emerald mountain material, but based on the information found on the Internet, it is inferred that the place of origin should be located in the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River, from the Myitkyina area to the Hengduan Mountains on the China-Myanmar border.
However, mountain material mining has huge economic and ecological costs, and after large-scale exploration of mineral veins, a considerable part of the resources may be located in our territory. As long as the MD government is not stupid, it should not easily exploit mountain materials...

At present, Stardust Jewelry mainly focuses on artificial diamonds. In the future, with the rise of other manufacturers, diamond profit margins will inevitably decrease. It is necessary to hoard a certain amount of jadeite rough stones to prepare for product transformation.
Of course, in order to ensure that the internal structure of the original stone can be accurately judged, Zhou Yan also prepared a secret weapon...
"After I die, who cares about the flood..." Lin Shengfei looked at the huge jadeite in front of him with a smile, "Brother Yan, why are you considering going so far?"
"If you don't work hard, if one day your subordinates become competitors, you will be in trouble..."
Zhou Yan smiled and took out the high-precision spectrometer developed by Yunmai Pharmaceuticals from his pocket, measured it in a circle around the rough stone, calculated it silently in his mind, wrote the price on the paper, and threw it into the bidding basket.
After scanning the big stuff, a group of people turned their attention to the small stuff.
Although the raw jadeite material used in this article has good light transmittance, it can be trapped in deep water and the price is high. If you are not careful, you can easily suffer big losses.
"Brother Yan, look at this piece of stone. It's a solid stone..."
The agent on the side, Mr. Zhao, smiled when he saw this, took out a bright flashlight from his pocket, and hit it on the so-called "stone". A stream of colored light came out from the place where the bright flashlight came into contact with the original stone.
"Hey, is it really available?" Lin Shengfei turned around and looked at Zhou Yan with surprise on his face.
Zhou Yan came over, reached out to pick up the material, and looked at it carefully with a flashlight.
"The performance is not bad..."
Before Zhou Yan could finish speaking, Lin Shengfei took the spectrometer from Lao Zhao and handed it to Zhou Yan.
"It's not bad!" Zhou Yan fired the light once, put away the spectrometer, and looked at Lin Shengfei with a smile, "Let's take a gamble?"
"I don't have any foreign currency in my pocket. Brother Yan, you put it down first. I'll pay you back later..."
Zhou Yan nodded here, and Lao Zhao began to negotiate the price with the seller.
For a piece of material twice as big as a fist, the seller asked for 2,000 euros, but Lao Zhao paid 1,500 euros.
After the deal was completed, Lin Shengfei handed the material to the bodyguard pushing the cart and followed Zhou Yan with a smile: "Brother Yan, do you have anything to say about the piece of material just now?"
“According to MD’s experience, all materials can only be judged by color, but not by water,” Zhou Yan smiled, “In other words, you can tell what color is inside by lighting it.
Whether it’s the glass type, or the ice type, or the waxy type, there’s no way of knowing…”
"Then what?"
"No matter how complicated the principle of jade formation is, it still follows the basic principles of chemical reactions, concentration transfer, reversibility of reactions, how much pressure is applied, and how the original stone grains behave, all of which are well-founded..."
"I..." Lin Shengfei's eyes widened, "Doesn't that mean that to you, it doesn't make any difference whether you have that shell or not?"
"The accuracy is only over 70%..."
Seeing that Zhou Yan was not satisfied with the judgment result, Lin Shengfei was a little speechless: "You should be good if you get an advantage, right?"
For small rough stones, opening the window and half betting is basically the same as unlocking it. Therefore, after lighting to determine the color and judging that the planting water is about the same, in order to maximize benefits, sellers generally do not open the window, but open the window.
The loss caused by the reduced price of window water is passed on to the buyers.
Faced with such a situation, Mr. Lin had an attitude of "I have the magic weapon in my hand, and I have it in the world". He held a bright flashlight in one hand and a spectrometer in the other, becoming a beautiful scenery on the public market.
Master Lin's arrogant style is a good thing for sellers. The more buyers make purchases, the more prices will naturally go up.
But the jeweler, who is also a buyer, can't stand it anymore. It doesn't matter. After all, we have met each other at the Chamber of Commerce banquet, so I can bear it if I can.
But there are some who can't stand it anymore, for example, the eldest lady of the shareholder's family of Xiangjiang Zhoufu Jewelry came to watch the excitement...
"Why are you dragging me? You are holding a broken instrument and you think you can go to heaven?!"
