Chapter 139: Hidden Dangers
The crack was more than two inches long, with an irregular curve distribution, from the appearance, it was not so much worn by the gear as it was cracked from the inside, Ye Ning touched it with his thumb, but he couldn't even feel the depth of the crack, this discovery made his curiosity soar, how could a hard jade that even the gears could not do anything about it crack from the inside, this completely can't be explained.
He has a hunch, this piece of jade may not be simple, of course, the mystery is not suitable for careful study at this time, after an appraiser on the field came to the stage, he handed over the jade to the other party, this is the rules of the gambling jade field, where the jade is opened, the field will give a reference valuation, if it rises, regardless of whether there is a live transaction, you have to pay the market side two percent of the value-added part as a bonus, of course, if the opening is lower than the value of the wool, then there will be no charge.
In a sense, this is the same rake rules as some casinos.
After tossing and turning repeatedly for a while, the appraiser returned the jade to Ye Ning, the embarrassment on his face swept by, and then he said apologetically: "This gentleman, your jade is six catties and three taels, and the quality is the best water species, and the effect of nourishing the spirit... It doesn't exist, and the valuation is about 700,000. β
As soon as such a result was announced, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone in the Yu family was even more shocked, doesn't this mean that the Yu family was scolded by the Burmese side this time?
"Mr. Qiu, this..."After Yu Jingtian's face changed several times, he hurriedly explained to Qiu Ruoyu to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Mr. Yu, gambling on jade was originally based on luck, and the valuation of the rough stone given by the previous market was 45 million, and there will be no fake. Qiu Ruoyu understood his thoughts, and he didn't wait for him to say it, it was reasonable and authentic.
Yu Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he really didn't mind seeing Qiu Ruoyu's appearance, but he still held a grudge against the suppliers in Myanmar in his heart, and in the past three years, there have been more than ten transactions with each other, which is a regular customer.
Regarding the offer of 700,000 yuan, Ye Ning said noncommittally "oh", he couldn't just sell it on the spot like this, and after letting the venue help pack it, he walked off the stage with the jade.
At this time, it was past five o'clock, as the highlight ended in a sigh, everyone began to disperse, and Qiu Ruoyu and the three of them were invited to a dinner by the Hua family, the Yu family, and the Kang family at the same time.
The dinner is set in the Shangri-La Hotel in the city, a table of no less than 30,000 dishes and nearly 10,000 drinks, it can be seen that the Hua family is to entertain the three of Qiu Ruoyu as VIPs, even Huayu's uncle is in a hurry after receiving the call, the degree of attention can be seen, a meal for nearly two hours, the exchange between the banquet is some light topics that do not involve business, from time to time the sound of clinking glasses, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy.
It was almost nine o'clock after the dinner, because there were some drinks on the dinner table, it was obviously not suitable to rush back to Zhonghai City overnight, Qiu Ruoyu and the three of them moved in on the spot, this time, Qiu Ruoyu did not give Ye Ning the opportunity to propose, so he directly let go of the three business single rooms next to each other.
"Ye Ning, come to my room, I have something to say to you. Coming to the guest room area on the twenty-third floor, Qiu Ruoyu called Ye Ning, who was about to open the door with the room card, and the latter answered and followed Qiu Ruoyu's room.
There is a negotiation area in the business single room, and after sitting down at a round table, Qiu Ruoyu said: "Ye Ning, the matter is over here, the Xiao family and the Ge family are temporarily cold." β
Hearing such a conclusion, Ye Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered: "Why? Now that we know who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, Hua Yuan can ask these two parties for an explanation even from the surface, is it just that?"
"There are some situations that you don't know, the Xiao family, the Ge family is not as simple as it seems on the surface, behind them are all provincial merchants as dependents, you can also see them as branches of provincial merchants in disguise, but they have considerable autonomy, just pay to the provincial merchants behind them every year. β
Qiu Ruoyu's expression was slightly condensed, and he said cautiously: "If you want to force the Xiao and Ge families to submit to the Kang family in the same way, then the provincial merchants behind them will definitely not sit idly by, but want to ask for an explanation from the surface, the Kang family has already paid for this matter, and if it goes deeper, Huayuan will not be able to get more compensation, it is nothing more than fighting for a breath, in this way, Huayuan's competitive environment will become more and more bad." β
Ye Ning looked at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Qiu, what you are really worried about is probably the provincial merchants behind the Xiao Ge family." β
"That's right. Being broken by Ye Ning's words, Qiu Ruoyu just frowned, and after a little hesitation, he said bluntly: "Ye Ning, I don't deny that some of your bold actions have brought practical benefits to Huayuan beyond expectations, but they have also buried major hidden dangers for Huayuan, the reason why Kang Tianyang agreed to the compensation conditions is that your hint has played a crucial role... Before Huayuan went public, it tried to complete the span from a municipal-level merchant to a provincial-level merchant, and even I was shocked when I heard it, do you know what kind of uproar it will cause if it spreads?"
Looking at Qiu Ruoyu's increasingly solemn face, Ye Ning smiled disapprovingly and muttered, "It's not that serious." β
"It's not that serious, heh..."Qiu Ruoyu's silver teeth gritted secretly, and a lush finger tapped a few times on the table: "Do you think this kind of irresponsible words can be said casually regardless of the occasion?" The size of the cake in a province is dead, every more provincial business will lose a share, how can those original provincial merchants be willing, next, Huayuan is likely to enter the sight of provincial merchants because of your empty words without brains, the biggest possibility, Xiao, Ge The provincial merchants behind the two families will secretly intervene in the industry competition in Zhonghai City, let me tell you, at present, Huayuan is facing the situation of several major merchants joining forces to suppress it, originally I wanted to delay as much as possible, but now I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve, hehe, you should not be naΓ―ve to think that the Kang family will be tight-lipped...β
At the end of the words, a wry smile hung on the corner of her mouth, in fact, since the end of the negotiations with Kang and Yu, her heart was pressed on a boulder, and the conversation and laughter at the dinner table before were just disguises.
It is difficult to resist the cooperation of several major businesses with the heritage of Huayuan today, and if there are provincial merchants secretly intervening, Rao Yiqiu Ruoyu's tenacity is a trace of powerlessness, which is not a lack of self-confidence and blind pessimism, but a rational judgment after recognizing reality.
