A four-hour flight would not be boring to Lin Zhiming.
He San is a very talkative person, so we chatted with him on the plane about some interesting anecdotes and hidden rules of the jade market. Not long after, the plane landed at Hongwen City Airport.
Lin Zhiming and He San got off the plane together and walked to the parking lot.
A man in a suit was waiting in the parking lot. When he saw He San coming out, he immediately came over to help He San unpack his luggage.
"This is Xiao Wang, my driver. Xiao Wang, this is Lin Kai, a friend I just met!" He San briefly introduced the two to each other.
"Hello!" Lin Zhiming nodded to the other party.
"Hello, get in the car!" Xiao Wang said.
"Lin Kai, it's quite late now. You need to find a hotel to stay first. There are many good hotels near the jade market. I'll ask Xiao Wang to take you there. You can just find one." He San
said.
"Thank you so much, Third Brother!" Lin Zhiming said.
The three of them got into the car together and left the airport.
On the way, He San kept making phone calls, and the content of almost every call was related to the ultimate imperial green jadeite.
Lin Zhiming also learned something about the situation through these phone calls.
Now the entire jade market is in turmoil due to the entry of Lin Group.
In fact, the Lin Group does not simply purchase scraps. At the same time, it also collects some rough stones that have been mined, and even some defective products, as long as the material is top-grade imperial green jadeite.
This is in line with Lin Zhiming's previous requirements for Dong Jian.
The green magic crystal needs to be extracted from the finest imperial green jadeite. He does not require that these jadeites must be processed and complete objects.
In other words, the top-quality imperial green jade raw stone and the carved and crafted objects are the same to Lin Zhiming.
In terms of price, the price of raw stone is definitely lower than that of carved objects, because carved objects also require labor costs.
Therefore, what the Lin Group is currently looking to purchase most is the scraps left over from some carved objects and rough stones.
Major jewelry manufacturers can repurchase scraps from secondary markets, but the raw stones are not under their control, because the raw stones are basically in the hands of numerous jade merchants. In the past, these jade merchants would provide raw materials based on the specific conditions of the stones.
When pricing these rough stones, the price of each rough stone is different. Some rough stones have many small cracks and are difficult to be made into large objects, so the price is low. Some rough stones do not have these cracks and can be made into large objects, so the price is high.
Now the Lin Group does not care about the condition of your rough stones. As long as they are top-quality imperial green jadeite, it means that all rough stones can be sold at the best price.
As a result, many foresighted jade merchants came to Hongwen City overnight, hoping to rely on information to pick up the leaks.
When Lin Zhiming's car arrived at the downstairs of a certain hotel, Lin Zhiming discovered that the lobby of the hotel was actually very lively.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, so the excitement was a bit unusual.
"It seems the news has spread!" He San stood next to Lin Zhiming and said with a frown.
"Are they all here to buy stones?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It should be basically the same! Tomorrow's jade market will definitely be busy. With so many people and so much money pouring in, the local jade merchants will know that there is a problem even if they are behind the times. Asshole, you still want to use the information gap to find out the leaks.
, now it seems there is no other way!" He San said with a dark face.
"Then can I still get stones?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"There are a lot of uncut rough stones in Hongwen City. Some of them are many years old. You can look for any good ones here. As for those that have been cut, don't think about them. They are probably full of finely cracked stones now.
The price of the highest grade stone can be sold at the same price. This Lin Group is really a big deal. An important factor that affects the price of jade is cracking. He actually wants them all no matter how cracked or how cracked they are! What does he want these things for?
"Go back and pave the road?" He San said with a frown.
"Who knows, maybe people are stupid and spend more money to buy it and play with it." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"You go check in first. I also want to meet some of my friends. I'll ask Xiao Wang to pick you up tomorrow!" He San said.
"Okay, Third Brother, go about your business!" Lin Zhiming nodded, and then walked into the hotel.
When he came to the front desk and asked, Lin Zhiming discovered that the hotel rooms were almost full, with only two presidential suites left that cost more than 10,000 yuan a night.
Lin Zhiming didn't want to be so high-profile, but it was already past one o'clock in the morning and it was not suitable to find a hotel, so he could only open a presidential suite.
It is said to be a presidential suite, but in fact, in Lin Zhiming's opinion, it is just an executive suite. However, because there were many people staying today, the hotel called it a presidential suite, so that it can be sold at a high price.
As soon as he entered the suite, Lin Zhiming saw many small cards on the floor.
What surprised Lin Zhiming was that what was printed on these small cards was not a girl, but the contact information of various jade brokers.
The so-called jade broker is a person who takes you around the jade market and helps you pick up gems or bargain with jade merchants.
In Hongwen City, jade brokers are a very popular profession, even more popular than women who have lost their feet, so the little cards stuffed into the room all have jade brokers on them.
Of course, this so-called jade broker printed on a small card is just like the stumbled woman printed on the small card. The risk is extremely high. If you are not careful, you will fall into a big pit. And compared with looking for the stumbled woman,
The pit dug by the jade broker will be even bigger, because the wrong woman is at best a mismatch, or the immortal will extort tens of thousands of dollars from you. If the jade broker joins forces with the merchant to dig a hole for you to jump out of, it may be hundreds of thousands or more.
Even a million dollars can't stop it.
Lin Zhiming picked up the small card on the ground and looked at it, and found that the small card was full of boastful words, such as decades of experience in the industry and the ability to see through the essence of stones in minutes.
"Isn't this an ability that only I have?" Lin Zhiming smiled jokingly, then threw the card into the trash can next to him and walked into the room.
A night of silence.
At 7:30 in the morning, Lin Zhiming had already finished washing and left the hotel.
He San's driver Xiao Wang has parked the car downstairs of the hotel.
When Lin Zhiming got off the car, he found a long row of cars parked in front of the hotel. It seemed that they were all going to the jade market.
"There are too many people!" Xiao Wang sighed sincerely after waiting for Lin Zhiming to get in the car.
"Haven't there been so many people before?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Never before." Xiao Wang shook his head and said, "I have been working here for almost ten years, and I have never seen so many people."
Lin Zhiming squinted his eyes and looked out the window.
If there are too many people here, the price of jade will definitely be exaggerated. When the news comes out from the Lin Group that they will not purchase jade, many people will probably lose their pants.
Lin Zhiming seems to have seen the scene where these enthusiastic people will cry without tears in the future, but he will not pity these people, because everyone must pay the price for their greed.
If you are not greedy, then you will naturally not lose anything.
Xiao Wang drove Lin Zhiming out of the hotel.
After driving for about ten minutes, Xiao Wang stopped the car.
"The parking lot is full. I can't take you in anymore. You get off the car and walk forward for a few minutes. You will reach the entrance of the jade market through the parking lot. This is the largest jade market in Hongwen City in Quanlong Country.
It's also one of the best, the boss will come over later, you can contact me then!" Xiao Wang said.
"Thank you!!" Lin Zhiming nodded, opened the door and got out of the car, and then walked forward.
On the road, Lin Zhiming saw many people walking like him.
These people walked towards the front as if they were going to the market, and some even trotted along.
A few minutes later, Lin Zhiming arrived at the entrance of the jade market.
The entire jade market was already overcrowded. At a rough glance, there were probably three to four thousand people.
Some of these people come to buy stones, and some come to sell stones.
In addition to the regular merchants, the jade market also has some idle vendors. These people get some stones from the mines and sell them in the market. If they know how to cheat, they will meet a stupid rich man and the material will cost several hundred yuan.
It is not impossible to sell tens of thousands of dollars.
However, no one is paying attention to these hawkers at this time, because everyone’s goal is the best imperial green, and it is generally unlikely that the hawkers will have the best imperial green. After all, the price of the best imperial green is there, and everyone
The unit price per gram is more than six figures.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the jade market opened on time.
Everyone swarmed in and squeezed into the largest jade trading market in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Each shop has already been prepared, with pieces of raw jadeite or complete pieces that have been carved out.
These rough jade stones have the latest prices posted on them, and the price of each piece is in tens of thousands.
This has never happened in the jade market in the past. The best imperial green is a very high-grade jadeite. In the past, it was usually kept in stores as a treasure, while those placed outside were of average quality.
The goods, and this time, everyone knows that the goal of so many people coming to the jade market is the top-grade imperial green, so all the merchants have put out the materials they have stored that can produce the top-grade imperial green, and marked them with higher than
The original price.
Similarly, those pieces of imperial green jade that have been carved are also priced higher than usual.
Originally, a small pendant of about ten grams usually cost about three million, but now it is directly linked to five million. As for those larger than ten grams, there are often more than ten or twenty million, and there are even many that exceed
Fifty million!
These things that would never have appeared in the shop in the clear sky and daylight were all displayed at this time.
Huge numbers of buyers crowded in front of each store, like sharks ready to hunt, and the merchants standing behind the counters were also like hungry wolves ready to hunt.
