"But...!" Looking at the middle-aged shop owner's visibly stiffened face and the worry in his eyes, Liu Dong felt like he had the other person's emotions under control, "But you have to sell another set of such top-notch jewelry to me.
As for the price, how about I guarantee that it will satisfy you?"
"Mr. Liu, aren't you making things difficult for me? As the King of Jade, you must know how rare glass-type imperial green top-grade jade is!" The middle-aged boss couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.n∈
Naturally, glass-like imperial green jade is treasured very much, otherwise Liu Dong would not take the initiative to compromise now!
"Of course I know how rare top-quality jadeite is, but I also believe in your strength!" Liu Dong said.
The finished jewelers who can enter the Jade Market are all Myanmar’s domestic jewelry giants. Behind them are basically several jade mine owners, and they even have a whole chain of upstream jade mining and downstream terminal sales.
The industry leader in the industrial chain.
Therefore, compared with most domestic jewelers who can only obtain raw materials from the public market, it is easier for these local jewelers in Myanmar to obtain good materials directly from jade mines. In addition, the Myanmar government consciously protects top-quality jade materials.
, the top-grade jadeite in the hands of these jewelers is definitely more abundant than in China.
It was precisely after understanding this that Liu Dong made this request!
As expected, after Liu Dong finished speaking, the middle-aged shop owner nodded after thinking for a moment, "Okay, I agree to Mr. Liu's conditions, but we hope that Mr. Liu can purchase a batch of mid-to-high-end products from us by then.
The finished jade jewelry!”
"This is no problem!" Liu Dong agreed happily.
The more the other party sells, the more he earns. Why not!
Liu Dong then transferred another 2.8 million euros. Then the two parties exchanged mobile phone numbers and made an appointment for the next transaction. Liu Dong picked up his almost full backpack and continued to wander towards other stalls.
I stayed away from this one, and then found another stall selling finished jade and continued my search.
There should be nearly a hundred stalls selling finished jadeite on the entire second floor. Liu Dong stopped after cleaning up nearly one-tenth of them!
This tenth, the strength of the ten finished jade dealers is uneven, but they still provided Liu Dong with 78 high-end jade ornaments such as bracelets, egg noodles, bead strings, and earrings, and 478 mid-range jade ornaments, as well as top-grade glass.
There are 25 pieces of imperial green-level jade ornaments. In addition to the set of nine that Liu Dong got at the beginning, Liu Dong later also got 16 top-level jade ornaments of the same level from other stalls. Unfortunately, the most precious bracelet is only
There are two pieces, one glass is imperial green, one glass is chicken butter yellow, and the rest are small items such as egg noodles, bead strings, earrings, and brooches.
All these jade ornaments cost Liu Dong about 15 million euros!
Although it costs a lot, if he sells it all back home, he can still more than double the profit for Liu Dong. Although it is not as profitable as directly investing in raw jadeite, it is still a rare way to make money.
It just so happened that Liu Dong also had a lot of spare money. In addition to the large amounts of jewelry and jade he obtained in the temperature-resistant treasure house that could not be cashed out immediately, the money he won through black boxing, and the money he won from the last bet with Feng Yulin,
The funds that Liu Dong can directly use have reached 1.2 billion euros!
With so much money in hand, Liu Dong is enough to squander it!
After putting all the finished jadeite he bought into the mustard space under the cover of the backpack behind him, Liu Dong walked to the other half of the second floor that was clearly separated. Here was the same glass display cabinet with white linings to hold the colorful jadeite.
red sapphire.
According to different weight, transparency and color, these red and sapphire roughs are divided into different grades. Twenty rubies and sapphires of the same grade are divided into parts. Each part has a mark and some general information about the gemstone at the bottom, and is also followed by
The sale of rough jadeite stones also uses hidden labels, but the difference is that there are no explicit labels here!
Moreover, Liu Dong also discovered that compared with the crowded jadeite greenhouse outside, where most of the people were Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes, the majority of foreigners here were white-skinned and blue-eyed.
Think about it, in the West, they prefer emerald to jade, and rubies and sapphires are also the mainstream in the jewelry market in Western society!
Liu Dong has made a big name in the jade industry, but he is not well-known among foreign jewelry companies that are not very keen on jade. In addition, his rise has been short-lived, so basically few people can come here.
You can recognize him, and this just gives Liu Dong enough freedom!
Liu Dong, who let go of his hands and feet, was not polite and strode around the hall filled with rubies and sapphires, Myanmar's specialty South Sea pearls, and a small amount of rough diamonds.
Liu Dong didn't even look at the low-end rubies and sapphires, he just skipped them! The profit was too low, not worth his while, and the low-end market for rubies and sapphires was too narrow in the domestic jewelry industry!
After shopping around, Liu Dong easily found his favorite pigeon blood ruby!
Because top-quality pigeon blood rubies are so rare, there are not many even in places of origin like Myanmar. Liu Dong counted about 257 rubies, nearly half of which were under 1 carat!
Those over 1 carat but below 3 carats account for another 30%, and the remaining 5 carats to 10 carats account for another 28%. There are only 7 that can reach more than 10 carats, and the largest one is from the bottom of the bid.
It's 21 carats, which is quite big among the top pigeon blood rubies!
"We must buy them all!" Liu Dong secretly made up his mind.
Top-quality pigeon blood rubies, like high-grade jade, are non-renewable resources. With hundreds of years of mining, they are becoming increasingly rare on the market. In the future, their prices will only rise, not fall! So proceed in advance.
Storage is necessary!
However, judging from the bottom of the bid, the bidding time for this largest pigeon blood ruby is on the 10th, and we have to wait two days.
Of course, there are forty-two pigeon blood rubies in the bidding today, of which twenty are less than 1 carat, and each fifth is divided into four parts. The remaining twenty-two are twelve between 1 and 3 carats.
Three pieces are for one piece, divided into four parts! There are eight pieces of 5 to 10 carats, and every two pieces are for one piece, and they are also divided into four parts! The remaining two pieces of more than 10 carats are divided into separate bids!
"The competition is quite fierce!" In these pigeon-blood red bidding boxes, Liu Dong discovered almost all the famous jewelry companies in the world, including Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari, etc.!
"Let me get involved too!"
With this idea in mind, Liu Dong took out the bid list that he had prepared a long time ago from the mustard space, and began to compare the highest prices in the respective bid boxes, and then doubled the bid. Liu Dong, who was not short of money, in order to ensure
Even if I can get 100% of these top-notch pigeon blood rubies, I will risk it all.
Anyway, even if it doubled, he would still be able to make money if he was exempted from Myanmar's high export tax!
In addition, in order to avoid attracting attention, Liu Dong did not use the name of the company, but took out the numbers of Ma Chao, Mu Gang, Basong and Ang Ji.
Of course, when Liu Dong bids for other mid-to-high-end rubies, he is not as happy with the pigeon-blood rubies. Basically, he bids on the highest price, with an increase of 20% to 30% depending on the grade of the ruby!
After this round of bidding, if Liu Dong wins all the bids, he will have to spend more than 10 million euros.
In addition to rubies, Myanmar’s sapphires are also world-famous.
And compared to rubies, Burmese sapphires are much larger!
But when Liu Dong turned to the sapphire area, he was first attracted by the crowd gathered not far away! Hundreds of people gathered together. On this occasion, they must have been attracted by the heavy treasure, so Liu Dong also hurriedly walked over.
After squeezing in, Liu Dong was immediately attracted by the rough sapphire stone in a glass display case in the middle protected by two gun-wielding soldiers!
"It's too big!" Liu Dong couldn't help but say after being stunned for a while.
If the 270-carat sapphire he found in the temperature-resistant treasure house was considered large, then the sapphire in front of him, which was slightly larger than a teacup, was several times larger than that one.
Judging from the bottom of the mark, the weight of this sapphire rough reached 1548 carats, although compared with the 2868 carats giant sapphire collected by Mr. Xu Lianfu, the inventor of diatom mud in China, an internationally renowned master of gem design, and a collector; it is collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The sapphire Buddha's hand from the Qing Dynasty weighs up to 1000 carats; and the sapphire Lincoln head collected in the Smith Museum in Washington, DC, weighs 2302 carats in rough and 1318 carats after carving. The three largest sapphires in the world are far inferior in weight, but they can reach 1000.
Rough sapphires above one carat are extremely rare.
And although this sapphire is an unprocessed rough at this moment, it is overall beautiful sky blue and has extremely high transparency. Although it is impossible to observe it in person, Liu Dong used the relic Yuan Guang to find that there are very few cracks and impurities inside the gem. The whole
More than 80% of a large piece of sapphire is made of high-grade materials. Although it is not top-notch, with this weight, it can almost be said to be a national treasure among Myanmar sapphires!
What puzzles Liu Dong is that the Myanmar government is actually willing to sell this sapphire national treasure?
This result somewhat surprised Liu Dong.
After he couldn't figure it out, Liu Dong didn't bother to think about the reason. Anyway, when he saw this huge sapphire, he never thought of giving up.
