Hu Rui is a typical person who wants to get rich overnight. When talking to such a person, a good-tempered person like Li Qingyun would not want to talk to him. The two employers, Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing, just smiled and did not say anything unpleasant. After all,
They had to rely on Hu Rui's father for this trip.
The flight took place at eight o'clock the next morning. After completing all the formalities, I got on the plane and flew directly to Yangon, Myanmar. Along the way, I listened to the quiet conversation between Hu Huaiyi and his son and heard some interesting content.
It turns out that Hu Huaiyi used to be a professor at China University of Geosciences, and he had already been involved in the field of stone betting. When he was a consultant for others, he helped them make a lot of money, and his commission was not cheap. He had already made tens of millions of dollars.
The ranks of the rich.
When he got rich, he was not willing to just be a consultant for others, so he accumulated a certain amount of wealth and participated in official public sales, but lost again and again every year. In the end, he got angry and actually quit his teaching career and opened a business.
Jewelry store, specializing in jewelry and jade stores.
In recent years, it has been even worse, with the losses getting worse and worse. From the initial tens of millions, he lost only a shop and a few houses, and Hu Huaiyi had to return to his profession as a jade stone gambling consultant.
Hu Huaiyi's son Hu Rui is dissatisfied with the reality, and even more dissatisfied with his father. He has always believed that his father's incompetence has led to the decline of his family, and his previous friends have stopped interacting with him. This time, he raised 10 million in cash.
It was already his limit, so he mortgaged the small villa in the city center at a low price.
Li Qingyun has not yet entered the industry, but he already has a deep understanding of the saying in the stone gambling industry that "one knife will make you poor, one knife will make you rich, and one knife will go through linen". He has a spiritual body to feel this heaven-defying cheating device, and Wang Chao's family is too rich, with hundreds of millions
The cash is just for fun... As for merchants like Wu Zhongxing, I really don't know how their psychological quality is developed.
When we arrived in Yangon, Myanmar, it was noon. A few people left the airport and had lunch in the city. Wang Chao brought two male assistants, and Wu Zhongxing also brought two male assistants. Plus Hu Huaiyi and his son, and Li Qingyun
, seven people in total.
Wu Zhongxing's assistant often came to Myanmar for business. He quickly rented a commercial vehicle and rushed to the public sale location after dinner. It was twenty or thirty kilometers away from Yangon. It only took half an hour to drive there.
When we got here, the vehicles seemed very crowded. Wu Zhongxing looked a little excited, pointing to the familiar buildings around him and said: "Actually, there are small auctions every month. The biggest one is around June. The auction we participated in this time
There are still three or four kilometers away from here. Many myths of getting rich overnight are staged here. Haha, when you look up, you can see a few familiar old friends, not only from the mainland, but also from Hong Kong.
Many big businesses.”
Wang Chao sat in the back row, shrank his head and said with a smile: "I hope I don't meet my grandpa's acquaintances, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my family. This kind of black market is too risky for gambling. I hope my uncle and other regular big guys
Merchants should not participate."
Wu Zhongxing smiled and said helplessly: "How could they let it go...Forget it, Xiao Zhao, find a familiar hotel, let's settle down first."
Li Qingyun did not participate in their decision-making. He just looked around curiously, watching the surrounding scenery and buildings. He will just follow the participation tomorrow. If he likes the piece, he will mark it and wait for the results to come out. If he wins, he will return the money.
Just Wang Chao. This group of people share the same admission certificate, so this is the only way to do it.
Today's weather is good. It's over 20 degrees, even wearing a single coat is a bit hot. The air here is not polluted. The sky is blue and the natural scenery is beautiful. There are many Chinese here, and they mainly speak English, so you can mix it with
Some Chinese can be understood by some vendors.
Li Qingyun just walked around the surrounding area to familiarize himself with the environment. By the way, he used the exchanged Myanmar currency to buy some souvenirs and went back to make gifts for his friends. Wang Chao’s assistant told him that he must keep the invoice, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the security check.
.
There are actually several flower shops nearby, which sell agarwood tree seedlings for only RMB 20 per plant, and they also come with small ceramic flower pots. It sounds like agarwood trees are very expensive, but in fact the most expensive thing is the agarwood inside.
It takes at least more than ten years for a seedling to grow up, and it takes more than ten or even decades to grow agarwood through artificial means. These agarwood tree seedlings planted in flower pots can only be used for fun.
, to bluff tourists who don’t understand the market.
For example, Li Qingyun was a stupid tourist in the eyes of the boss. He actually walked away with two flower pots with agarwood trees in his hands. When he reached a deserted corner, the agarwood flower pots in Li Qingyun's hand disappeared in an instant. No need to think about it, he had already entered.
In a small space, he removed the flower pots and planted them at the foot of the mountain.
"Now that you have encountered it, just buy two and plant them in for comfort. In China, a seedling costs only four or five yuan. Even if a small space can hold up to ten days outside, you don't know that it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to grow up and plant incense.
After that, I don’t know how many years it will take for agarwood to form.”
When it was getting dark, Li Qingyun went back. When he returned to the room, he heard someone talking quietly next door. It was Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing. Although the two people spoke very quietly, Li Qingyun's ears were too sensitive. The sound insulation of this hotel
The effect is also poor, you can hear clearly even if you don't want to listen.
"...Is this Hu Huaiyi's level good? He has gambled away all his wealth, why do you still hire him as a consultant? Well, I'm starving, so let's drink some beer first." Wang Chao drank a whole beer.
, seemed to have chewed a few pieces of cold vegetables, which was crunchy.
Wu Zhongxing smiled and said: "Haha, haven't you heard what people in the circle say? Hu Huaiyi can't do it by himself, but he can bring wealth to his employer. He is a typical lucky cat. If he hadn't been introduced by an acquaintance, we wouldn't have invited him here this time.
Well. The father and son brought 10 million in funds this time, and I think they will be wasted again. Even if we give him a reward of 1 million, they won't be able to withstand it. By the way, how much money did Li Qingyun bring this time?
"
"It's probably more than 20 million, but you don't need to worry about him. He is my friend and his family is rich. If the money is not enough, I will lend him money..." Just as he was talking, the phone rang. It was the Hu family and his son, saying
I'm waiting for them to eat downstairs.
Li Qingyun secretly sighed that Wang Chao was very interesting. He didn't expect that he would think so highly of himself that he would be willing to lend him money. These days, being willing to lend you money is not just as simple as a friend, it also shows that you are valuable enough to be worthy of the loan.
Early the next morning, when everyone arrived at the gate of the public sale, there were already people queuing up, waiting to enter. Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing's assistants had completed the formalities yesterday afternoon, so they just had to queue up and enter today.
While waiting in line, Wu Zhongxing greeted at least 20 acquaintances. Looking at the crowd, almost all of them were familiar faces from domestic businessmen. He seemed to know that Chinese people have a penchant for picking up leaks, and the price tags on the woolen materials in this yard were also eye-catching.
It feels cheap and cheap.
The entire large yard has long been filled with pieces of jadeite wool, some large and some small. Some signs have only one stone, while others have more than a dozen small stones. The signs are bilingual in Chinese and English, with a simple introduction written on them.
The difference from the official public offering is that the base price of the target is marked with the RMB symbol, while the official public offering is marked with the Euro symbol.
Wang Chao said with a smile: "In order to facilitate domestic businessmen, these people in Myanmar have really invested their money. As long as they apply for the payment limit of the bank card, they can directly swipe the visa card."
The merchants swarmed up and soon occupied the entire courtyard. Wu Zhongxing wiped his sweat and muttered: "What a wicked sect. There are not so many people in the official public sale. How come this informal black market has emerged?"
So many businessmen? The entry qualification is 100 million..."
As he said this, his eyes were not idle for a moment. He squatted in front of a big piece of wool, touching and patting it, and was very busy.
Jade consultant Hu Huaiyi reminded everyone at this time, saying: "Since everyone shares the same admission certificate, whoever likes the wool must be recorded in the workbook to facilitate reconciliation after winning the bid. The price can be kept confidential, but if the numbers are the same
, try to discuss the approximate price range privately to avoid wrangling after winning the bid.”
Everyone here except Li Qingyun knew this. Li Qingyun nodded, took out the notepad he had prepared long ago, and pretended to look around at the materials.
Hu Rui had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He took a notepad and said, "Dad, help them look at the materials. I'll go for a walk first. When I choose the materials, you can help me with the details."
In fact, Hu Rui, Wang Chao and others are potentially competitive. However, everyone sees that he is the son of a consultant and does not have much funds to prepare, so they do not want to argue with each other. Even if everyone picks the same piece of wool, there will be no dispute.
I will try my best to be as humble as possible.
Hu Huaiyi had no choice but to let him go because he had no choice but to let him go. After all, his job was to be a consultant to Wang Chao and others, so he could not abandon his employer and run around with his son.
Li Qingyun did not go far. He was near Hu Huaiyi and listened to his explanation to Wang Chao and Wu Zhongxing. The consultant did not comment on every stone, which would make people exhausted. Only when the employer took a fancy to a piece of wool, the consultant would
Only then will an assessment be made based on the appearance characteristics of the wool, and a rough market price will be given for the employer to refer to. The real decision-making power still lies with the employer, and the consultant does not bear the risk of making or losing money.
Li Qingyun listened for a while, but was not interested in listening anymore, because he didn't need the identification method Hu Huaiyi said, so he walked around by himself, hands behind his back.
The low-price bids for these woolen materials are very low, one-third lower than the public offering in June. However, most of the ones displayed in the yard have hidden bids, starting from the low price and increasing the price infinitely. If you like a certain
For a piece of wool, you can fill out the bid form and write down the admission certificate number, the name of the bidder, the wool number, and the quotation. Fill out the form, put it into the bid box corresponding to the wool number, and wait two or three days for the bidding to end.
The list of winning bidders will be announced gradually.
After looking around, Li Qingyun felt a little worried and felt that the hidden bidding area was too deceptive: "It is easy to know which piece of wool contains jade, but it is extremely difficult to take a photo of it. I have chosen a piece of jade wool, which may be worth only one million, so I will bid.
800,000, leaving some profit margin for myself. But if there is a second-hand product bidding 2.5 million, even if I am a god, I will not get this piece of wool."
However, if someone heard his pretentious words, he would definitely be scolded to death. How easy is it to know which piece of wool contains jade? If it were really that simple, there wouldn't be people jumping off buildings every year because of failed bets on stones and losing their entire fortune.
