Chapter 120: Smuggling Warehouse (Part I)
After the Huang family banquet, Zhou You immediately returned to his previous colorful life.
Under the strict requirements of Xu Lao, they began to shift the focus of their study to the understanding of ancient characters. Maybe it's because Zhou You has a unique talent in literacy, or maybe it's because his memory is too strong, and the ancient characters that make Wang Hao and Jiang Jun suffer a lot are simply handy for Zhou You.
A very meaningful ancient work, Wang Hao and Jiang Jun took a week to barely figure it out, and it only took one day to memorize it. If you look at it for another day, you can only copy it word for word.
With such a learning speed, even Xu Lao was amazed.
However, with the opening of Yingjiang Gongpan, their study time all stopped. It is said that this time the Yingjiang public plate is very grand, there is a taste of challenging the Pingzhou public plate, the jade merchants alone participated in more than 50 people, all kinds of high, medium and low-grade gambling materials have also exceeded 10,000 figures, it is said that all the display of jade wool tonnage is more than 5,000 tons.
And this number is still the number that was counted before, as the date is getting closer, and more and more jade merchants are participating, the scale will definitely become more and more exaggerated.
With such a grand event, how could they miss it?
No, Zhou You, Wang Hao, Jiang Jun, Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo, six gambling stone enthusiasts, formed the Mingyuan Gambling Stone Group, and they went to Yingjiang, Yunnan. This group of people may not be the largest and most spectacular gambling stone group, but their strength is undoubted, and they can definitely set off a bloody storm in Yingjiang Gongpan.
Originally, Zhang Yingwu also had to form a group to go over. However, he had received a large number of wool materials that performed very well in Yunnan before, and felt that this time the Yingjiang Gongpan might be an opportunity for him to make a fortune, so he accepted the joint invitation of the Fang family and the He family, and went to Yingjiang to become one of the many jade merchants in Yingjiang Gongpan.
Ma Fatzi had just returned to the capital, and the war in the capital was becoming more and more tragic, forcing him to sit in charge in person. However, he has repeatedly explained that if a good jadeite is produced, he must keep it, and he will definitely not treat Zhou You badly.
As for Xu Jie, it is said that he will pick up Yang Linlin, who has resigned, and then go to Yingjiang to try his luck together, and by the way, see what investment opportunities there are.
Every year, there are a lot of jade public disks, and the problem is the size of the problem, and the small public market in Pingzhou alone is double-digit, not to mention others. And this time, the Fang family and the He family joined forces, openly arguing with the Pingzhou public market, and it was indeed heated up, even if it was not as good as the Pingzhou public market, but it was also one of the few big public markets in China, and it was a grand event in the gambling stone industry.
Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo, these veteran gambling stone players have long paid great attention to this Yingjiang public market and have been prepared early.
You must know that although Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Mo and others have good gambling skills, but the gods are difficult to break the jade, and even those gambling stone experts with an annual salary of one million can't avoid the fate of gambling, let alone them. Overall, the gambling results of their previous Grand Princes are really not good. Huang Jianming is okay, he has a lot of net worth, and he doesn't feel distressed if he loses to Bailai, but Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo are not wealthy people, and they will feel distressed if they lose a little.
But this time it's completely different, because they have to travel around.
As the first new star in the gambling stone industry, they have communicated and learned from each other during these days, and they all feel that their gambling skills have made great progress compared to before, and their self-confidence is naturally not a problem. Even if you can't see through it, you can also consult Zhou Travel when the time comes, so the probability of losing money is not equal to a greatly reduced, where to find such an opportunity.
In such a situation, it is strange that Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo are not holding back their strength.
As for Zhou You, he still looked at the manuscript presented by Xu Lao with great interest, and carefully read the knowledge of ancient characters. With the understanding of antiques, Zhou You's enthusiasm for antiques is also getting deeper and deeper, and he is simply unable to extricate himself, and every time he has time, he has to read it well, even if the manuscript in his hand is already familiar with it.
As for Wang Hao and Jiang Jun, they also seized the opportunity to learn.
The seriousness and studiousness of the three of them made Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang and Teacher Mo embarrassed and sighed, and they were all envious that Xu Lao could find such a positive and studious disciple.
In this way, after most of the day's tossing, everyone finally came to Yingjiang, Yunnan.
Yingjiang County is located in the western part of Yunnan Province, located in a remote area, in the case of choice, gambling stone players will not run to such a remote place to suffer, but Yingjiang County because of this, in the transportation of mineral resources from jadeite has an extremely superior talent.
It is said that in terms of transportation costs alone, the transportation of jadeite wool from Myanmar to Yingjiang can save at least more than half of the transportation cost per kilogram compared to transportation to gambling stone resorts such as Guangdong, which has to be regarded as a small advantage.
Because they were guests personally invited by Fang Sheng, they naturally didn't have to worry about the hotel. As soon as they got off the long-distance tourist bus, they were warmly welcomed by the Fang family, and they were directly arranged to the best hotel in Yingjiang, so that they could rest after spending most of the day traveling by plane and car.
After a long journey, even the three young people of Zhou You, Wang Hao and Jiang Jun felt tired, but Huang Jianming, Mr. Zhang and Teacher Mo were full of energy, and they reluctantly gathered Zhou You, who wanted to enter the hotel to rest, and pulled them into a room to discuss things.
Huang Jianming, who was excited, asked, "Are you interested in going to the wool warehouse with us?"
"Wool warehouse?"
Wang Hao's face became more and more tired, and he asked curiously: "Uncle Huang, what's so good about the wool warehouse, can't you look at the wool tomorrow?"
"It's different!"
Mr. Zhang answered mysteriously.
Mr. Mo explained: "Since it can meet the border with Myanmar, it is naturally a paradise for smugglers. Sometimes, you don't think it's just a small house, but inside it may be a wildlife skin processing factory. ”
Wang Hao and Jiang Jun both listened with a light in their eyes, and their spirits also rose.
Zhou You knew that this kind of thing was normal, but he wasn't so excited.
Huang Jianming said: "About five years ago, I happened to come to Yingjiang on a business trip, and I was introduced by my collaborator to a jade merchant who specializes in smuggling jadeite wool, and I got a batch of good quality wool there. After I pulled all the wool back, not only did half of the wool unravel the jadeite, but also opened a piece of ice jadeite of a large scale, which made me make a small fortune. Since then, I have become acquainted with the jade merchant, and I have to buy a batch of wool from him every year, otherwise how could I have so many jade resources and open my store on Hong Kong Island to compete with those decades-old jewelry houses. ”
Zhou You finally understood why Huang Jianming was so arrogant and counterattacked the jewelry store to the Hong Kong Island area, how could he be so generous to share so many mid-to-high-end jadeite with Ma Fatzi, it turned out that he also had his own way.
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat holes, and anyone who can start from scratch is simple.
Wang Hao and Jiang Jun immediately stood up and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for?
Zhou You, who had tasted the sweetness of smuggled wool, also stood up and expressed his choice with a confident smile.
There is ** natural motivation .
Everyone didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and quickly killed the wool warehouse that Huang Jianming said.
It's a residential area, and it's a very ordinary situational area, with no high walls, no pervasive cameras, and no powerful security, everything is just like the most ordinary residential area.
When the six of them stopped in front of an old house where they couldn't see anything at all, and the door was closed, Huang Jianming called in front of everyone, and then an old man over 60 opened the door to welcome them in.
When you travel inside, you know that there is something inside.
It's not that it's heavily guarded, it's not that there's a hidden mechanism here, but that this three-story old house with a maximum of 100 square meters is piled up with all kinds of wool, some of them are half gambling, and some are full gambling, but the number is much less than Zhou You expected.
Huang Jianming frowned and asked, "Uncle, where is Mr. Lin?" ”
The old man replied: "Go to participate in the Yingjiang Gongpan, I guess I won't come back these days." ”
"It's a pity. ”
Huang Jianming sighed, and explained to them with an inexplicable face: "This is the wool storage place of my partner, and this old man is the elder of Mr. Lin's fellow villagers, and after Mr. Lin built this building, he gave it to the old man, and the old man guarded these new wool materials that he had not had time to deal with. ”
Everyone knows that the new wool that Huang Jianming is talking about is the smuggled wool that has just been smuggled and has not yet been turned into a regular customs clearance commodity.
The old man said: "Huang is always a regular customer here, I believe you also know the rules." ”
Huang Jianming nodded and explained to them: "There are almost no large-scale wool here, and even half-gambling wool is rare, and sometimes there will be a scene where all the wool is full betting, and then you have to rely on your own vision." Also, the heavy wool is all downstairs, and the small wool is all on the second floor, and you can see whatever you like, and you can come here are trustworthy people. It's just that the price of each piece of wool here is clearly marked, and the price cannot be negotiated. ”
They all understood it.
Indeed, only trustworthy people can come there, so what kind of precautions are needed? If you really have the heart to be greedy for ink, then you have to ask that Mr. Lin if he is willing to do it, don't swallow it and have no strength to spit it out when the time comes.
The old man seemed to be very familiar with Huang Jianming, and said as he walked: "You can go and see it yourself, the old man is going to make some good tea to entertain you, it just so happens that Mr. Lin left the old man a pound of the best Tieguanyin, and it is estimated that he can still enter the eyes of you distinguished guests." ”
After speaking, the old man really went to boil water and make tea.
"Wow, this half of the gambling wool is so expensive, it costs two million!"
Wang Hao is the easiest person to enter the play, and when Huang Jianming was talking politely to the old man, he began to pay attention to the medium-sized full-scale gambling wool around him. As soon as he had free time, he immediately rubbed it up, not wanting to be frightened by the price of the wool on the side.
Zhou You turned around and was immediately attracted by it.
