There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. One? From Hangzhou to Qingtian, Chen Yunfeng entertained himself diligently all the way, so he must be seeking something from himself!
However, the other party didn't say anything, and Liu Dong didn't ask.
Of course, if he can help, Liu Dong will also help! This is called reciprocity.
"Thank you very much! However, the most important thing now is the Qingtian County gathering in front of you. It won't be too late to talk about the rest of the things after finishing the Qingtian County affairs!"
"Really? Don't delay Mr. Chen's affairs!" Liu Dong said.
"No delay, no delay! Since Mr. Liu is ready, let's leave quickly. It's almost time!" Chen Yunfeng said after looking at his watch.
"Okay, let's go!"
Since Chen Yunfeng didn't want to talk now and was just laying the groundwork, Liu Dong didn't ask any more questions! After picking up the coat on the sofa and putting it on, he walked out of the room with Chen Yunfeng.
There are many merchants in the hotel who have the same purpose as Liu Dong, traveling from north to south.
However, Liu Dong didn't take a closer look because he didn't know him. Soon, under Chen Yunfeng's guidance, he drove towards Jade Street in Qingtian County.
Liu Dong has seen a lot about places like 'Jade Street'! But Qingtian County is extremely large. The long street with a width of more than 10 meters is full of various shops that process and sell Qingtian stones on both sides.
!And in the middle of the street are various street stalls.
The street stalls also sell Qingtian stone ornaments, but more of them are various kinds of seals! Of course, you don’t have to expect the things on the street stalls to be very good.
Anyway, after Liu Dong took a few glances, he completely lost interest.
"This place is really not small!" Liu Dong said with some surprise as he looked at the crowded and almost invisible flow of people.
"There weren't so many people and shops here before, but in recent years, the collection and use of Qingtian stones has become more frequent, and the price has doubled, and the place has also prospered rapidly. Compared with the past, this Qingtian County Jade Street
The size has more than doubled!”
Chen Yunfeng finished speaking. Liu Dong looked at the bustling streets, which were no less crowded than his hometown's "New Year's Fair", and nodded.
"Mr. Liu, I'm afraid our car won't be able to pass!" Chen Yunfeng said.
"I know. Let's park the car somewhere and walk there! The trading center shouldn't be far from here, right?"
"It's not far, right in the center of this street! If you walk there, you'll be there in less than ten minutes!"
"Then let's get out of the car and walk over!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, the two of them walked down! After Liu Dong handed the key to Chen Yunfeng's bodyguard and asked him to find a place to park the car, the two of them followed the flow of people and walked towards the jade trading center in the center of the street.
In fact, if they didn't want to accompany Liu Dong to stroll around this jade street and experience it, they could have driven directly to the jade trading center by taking a detour.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to walk there.
"This is it!"
Following the direction pointed by Chen Yunfeng, Liu Dong saw a two-story, more than ten-meter high, completely modern trading center built on the street with a matte glass curtain wall.
In front of the trading center is a small square with an area of about 500 square meters. There are more than a dozen huge hot air balloons rising in an orderly manner on the square, and the banners pulled up under the hot air balloons are full of writing. As for the content, they are mostly "Celebration".
The slogan for the opening of the 37th Qingtian Stone Exhibition in Qingtian County'.
Liu Dong and Chen Yunfeng left the street, walked through the small square, and followed the flow of people up the steps adjacent to the small square. After climbing up the two-story steps with a total of 24 steps, they arrived at the entrance of the trading center.
In front of the trading center entrance, there are eight giant pillars with a diameter of one meter, supporting the glass curtain wall extending from the roof. The whole building looks extremely majestic.
However, Liu Dong's eyes did not stay outside for long, and he walked into the trading center through the revolving door on the far left with relatively less traffic.
But just after Liu Dong came in, his ears were immediately filled with loud noises.
Although the internal space of the trading center is huge, the closed space still limits the propagation of sound, causing the ears of everyone who enters to be harassed.
Of course, this noise did not have any impact on Liu Dong. After a little overcoming and adaptation, it passed. He focused more on the Qingtian Stone inside the trading center.
In the space of about a thousand square meters on the first floor of the trading center, there are also stalls selling Qingtian stones. However, compared to the streets outside, the Qingtian stones sold here are undoubtedly higher in taste, and of course the price is higher!
"People here only come in after paying a certain amount of rent! There are some good things at the stalls, but most of them are middle-to-low-grade Qingtian stones!" Chen Yunfeng said after noticing Liu Dong's eyes.
"What about something better?"
above?"
Looking at Chen Yunfeng's raised finger, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Dong's face.
"Second floor!"
"That's right, it's the second floor! The first floor is mostly small traders with some strength, but the second floor is where the wealthy businessmen who really master Qingtian Stone are located!"
"Then what are we waiting for! Go to the second floor!"
After Chen Yunfeng finished speaking, Liu Dong walked towards the stairs without hesitation.
Liu Dong's decisiveness shocked Chen Yunfeng for a moment. Seeing the opponent's striding figure, Chen Yunfeng quickly chased after him.
"Mr. Liu, please wait! Not just anyone can go up to the second floor. If we want to go, we have to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan first!"
"One hundred thousand deposit?"
"Yes, this is also to keep out those who are just watching the fun!"
Listening to Chen Yunfeng's explanation, Liu Dong nodded!
Although the Qingtian stone trade is somewhat different from the jade and Hetian jade trade, there are still similarities in many places. I think Liu Dong experienced this kind of scene in both Quancheng and Myanmar!
And one hundred thousand yuan is not even a drop in the bucket to him.
After handing over the money together with Chen Yunfeng, the two of them each received 50 documents that Liu Dong was very familiar with!
After a brief glance, Liu Dong said with slight surprise: "What? Do we still need to bid for the Qingtian Stone above?"
"That's right! The Qingtian stones on the second floor are all sold through bidding! Therefore, the highest prices for Qingtian stones in recent years have basically come from the second floor!"
"I see!"
After nodding his head clearly, Liu Dong glanced at the bidding list in his hand, and then said: "Let's go up and have a look too!"
"Well, please, Mr. Liu!"
At this time, Liu Dong was not very polite! Because he was curious about the Qingtian Stone on the second floor, he no longer wanted to waste time.
Watching the two people walking up with the bidding sheets in hand, the security guards who maintained order did not stop them.
After they went up to the second floor through the elevator, the situation clearly appeared in their eyes. For Chen Yunfeng, who had been here many times before, everything here was already familiar. But for Liu Dong, who came here for the first time, he saw
Everywhere feels strange.
In addition to being strange, the situation also made Liu Dong feel a little familiar!
Because the situation on the second floor has too many similarities with the Quancheng Jade and Jade Trading Club.
Almost the same thing, the Qingtian stones are individually numbered and a bidding box is set up! Then the merchants who value that piece or group of Qingtian stones fill in the bidding form with the number they think is enough to win the bid.
If you are lucky, or if you are bold and careful enough, and have enough money, you can win the bid when the secret bid is revealed.
That’s right, it’s a hidden mark!
Almost all Qingtian rough stones here are secretly bid!
"It's indeed a good thing!"
After walking into the Qingtian rough stone closest to him, which was secretly marked, Liu Dong secretly thought.
This piece of Qingtian stone shrouded in a tempered glass box is not too big. Even including the unpeeled stone skin, it is only about the size of a teacup. It weighs only two kilograms! But such a small piece of Qingtian stone shows the appearance of a teacup.
The color is like gold, and the color is pure and the stone is delicate!
With Liu Dong's eyes, he could tell at a glance that this Qingtian stone was the famous Qingtian stone, Huang Jinyao!
Speaking of which, although there are many precious types of Qingtian stones, relatively speaking, Fengmenqing and Huanghuangyao are more popular! Others, such as orchid green and fish brain jelly, are smaller in number, so their reputations are not as good as these two.
After taking a look at some simple data about the golden shining stone recorded on the nameplate next to it, as well as the base price of 200,000, Liu Dong was not in a hurry to make a move!
"Mr. Chen, when will the hidden bid at the Qingtian Stone Fair be unveiled?"
"According to the situation of previous trade fairs, if nothing unexpected happens, the bid should be unveiled after three days!"
"Three days later? Then there's no need to worry!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
Although the judgment on the price of Qingtian stone, which is completely open material, does not have a relatively large price gap like the jadeite jade on the Myanmar public market, there are still some changes! If Liu Dong does not want to be taken advantage of, he should still buy it on the last day.
When the time comes, it would be safer to take action.
"Hey, are there also finished Qingtian stone seals and ornaments here?"
After Liu Dong wandered around the second floor for a while, he discovered a new situation!
"These are works of art produced by major companies. The craftsmanship is extraordinary and the materials are superior. Most of them are works by masters! The prices are very high!"
After listening to Chen Yunfeng's explanation, Liu Dong nodded. Judging from his years of experience in the carving industry, these Qingtian stone carvings can indeed be regarded as masterpieces! However, Liu Dong found that there were no outstanding masterpieces among them.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the works of true masters have no worries about the market. For example, Mr. Zhu Bingren’s copper sculpture crafts are never sold directly on the market. They are usually ordered or put up for auction! When the supply exceeds demand, it will still be like this.
Put it out for sale openly!
