"Hell, why is it so hot? Damn, let you suck my blood?"

Zhuang Rui slapped his arm, and when he lifted it, his palm was full of blood, and there was a mosquito that could become a specimen in two days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After eating with a group of colleagues from the hotel, when I returned to Hu Rong's residence, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and September in Myanmar was not only hot, but also unbearable with mosquitoes.

During the day, I didn't feel anything, but at night, swarms of mosquitoes were like bombers, rampaging throughout the manor, just walking into the air-conditioned room from the door, Zhuang Rui had a few more bumps on his body.

"Ming'er, I'll ask someone to get some medicine and clean up the pond outside......"

Hu Rong looked at this scene, and his scalp was a little numb, he rarely lived here, and there was no one to take care of it, and the lush trees and ponds outside had become a good place for mosquitoes to live.

"The smell of your kid's meat, okay, don't complain......"

There are a total of three small buildings in this manor, and Qin Haoran called Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui to the house where he lived.

"Dad, what's the matter? It's slimy, let's take a shower first......"

After Zhuang Rui entered the room, he felt that his clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and he was embarrassed to sit on the exquisite fabric sofa.

After Qin Haoran heard Zhuang Rui's words, he realized that he was also covered in stinky sweat, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, go take a bath first, and then talk about it later......"

After returning to his room and taking a cold shower, he changed into silk pajamas, Zhuang Rui came to Qin Haoran's room and saw that the uncle and nephew were each holding a piece of watermelon and nibbling on it.

"Hey, it's really refreshing to have watermelon to eat on this hot day......"

Zhuang Rui stepped forward and took a piece of chilled watermelon, followed the side of the watermelon, sucked his mouth, and bit off a row of red soil, then he looked at Qin Haoran comfortably and asked, "Dad, what is the matter with calling me and Brother Hu so late?"

Although Zhuang Rui didn't gain anything today, he was a little tired after looking at the wool for a day.

"It's nothing, these are a few pieces of material I looked at today, I'm not sure, you can help me with my palms tomorrow......"

Qin Haoran spoke, and handed Zhuang Rui a note, there were not many numbers listed on it, only more than a dozen jade rough stones.

"Dad, you have a lot of people with you, why do you look at these pieces of material in one day?"

Zhuang Rui knew that his father-in-law had brought six professional jadeite rough appraisers from Hong Kong this time, and he was going to stock up on some more goods on this public offer.

But there are only a few pieces of material on the list, which is not very consistent with Qin Haoran's original intention of coming to Myanmar to stock up on goods, so Zhuang Rui will ask such a question.

"Alas, I have to ask Hu Rong about this, the Myanmar public market is getting more and more excessive, everything is put in it, and the price is ridiculously high, how can we buy?"

After Qin Haoran heard Zhuang Rui's words, he immediately pointed the finger at Hu Rong, they were relatively close relatives, so Qin Haoran spoke very directly, although he complained in his mouth, he had a smile on his face.

"Uncle, it's useless to ask me about this, I'm not a general of the Military Commission, the price of the rough stone is set high, and the extra money is siphoned off by the military, which doesn't really do us much good......"

After Hu Rong heard Qin Haoran's words, he immediately smiled bitterly, since last year, he has rarely sold rough stones on the jade market, except for the wool smuggled to China to Zhuang Rui, the rest have been hoarded.

For this reason, Hu Rong was also investigated by the military, but Hu Rong's family is deeply rooted in the Hpakant area, where the situation is complicated and the military is weak, and ordinary people still can't move him.

Hu Rong frowned when he saw Qin Haoran, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, the quality of the rough stone is poor this time, and the turnover will definitely be affected......

In Myanmar, the military is the number one force, but those local snakes in various places unite, even the military must bow their heads, otherwise as long as those local snakes do not pay some fees, Myanmar will immediately fall into chaos.

Therefore, as long as the turnover of this public auction is not high, and the vital interests of those mine owners who are divided in various places are affected, they will definitely ask the Myanmar military for an explanation.

"Well, what you said makes sense, I'm not in a hurry, you and Xiao Rui have supplied me with a lot of supplies......"

Qin Haoran nodded, he knew the situation in Myanmar very well, suddenly turned his head to look at Zhuang Rui, and asked, "Xiao Rui, although the quality of the wool material is relatively poor this time, there are also some good materials, right?

Qin Haoran knew very well about his son-in-law's level of appraising the jade rough, as long as Zhuang Rui made a move, basically good material would not escape his eyes, even if Tang Lao was in Qin Haoran's mind, he was even worse than Zhuang Rui.

"Dad, there are some good ingredients, but the price is ......"

Zhuang Rui shook his head, he also saw a lot of rough stones today, as long as the skin performance is slightly better, the bottom bid is sky-high, when the bid is opened in the afternoon, it is even more rising, Zhuang Rui is too lazy to bid.

After Qin Haoran heard his son-in-law's words, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, I said Xiao Rui, are you being surrounded?"

"Wrap around, wrap around me, what's wrong, Dad, aren't you too expensive?" Zhuang Rui was a little inexplicable, this price was already expensive, didn't the old man himself say it just now?

"Hey, I'm talking about too many materials that are performing poorly, and the skin is performing well, of course it will be expensive......"

Qin Haoran knew that Zhuang Rui had misinterpreted his meaning, and then said: "The price of each rough stone in the Myanmar public market will rise in different ranges, which is acceptable to us, what I am talking about is the organizer of the public market, and there are too many fake materials in it......"

Myanmar is the only country in the world that produces jadeite, and the price of jadeite in Myanmar directly affects the jadeite market, but this is not the biggest problem for jewelers.

When the raw materials are expensive, the price of the finished jadeite jewelry will naturally increase, and the final impact will only be on those jadeite consumers, and the impact on the jewelers themselves is not very large.

Qin Haoran explained to Zhuang Rui, looked at Zhuang Rui with a strange face, and asked, "Xiao Rui, you won't take the price of a few years ago to measure the current rough market, right?"

"This ...... It's kind of ......."

Zhuang Rui was said by his father-in-law, his face suddenly turned red, he has not paid much attention to the jade market in recent years, even the Qin Ruilin store in the capital, he just looked at the financial statements, and he didn't ask about the specific operation at all.

Although after coming to Myanmar, Zhuang Rui also communicated with Qin Haoran to get a general understanding of the current price of jadeite rough, but it was all abstract, that is, look at the quotation on paper.

Therefore, when looking at the rough stone today, Zhuang Rui always subconsciously uses the price of a few years ago to flaunt the value of the rough stone he checked, so of course, there is no material that can make him feel that it is worth the price.

……

After having dinner at the manor early the next morning, Zhuang Rui and his entourage rushed to the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center, this time Hu Rong also went with Zhuang Rui, after all, tonight, there will be a big show.

Generally, most of the businessmen who come to Myanmar from China to participate in the jade public market are staying in the hotel where Zhuang Rui stayed last time, and these people are already familiar with each other.

The duel between the two generations of rumored "Jade King" has filled today's trading place with a very strange atmosphere, Zhuang Rui can hear people talking about this matter everywhere he goes, and those who know him are all nodding in greeting.

As for Lao Wu, who was diagnosed with sudden death of myocardial infarction yesterday, and Zhang Yunhui, who was defeated by calcite gambles, they have become a thing of the past, and no one mentions them anymore.

"Boss Jin, look at this gambling stone, who can win?"

"Hey, do you still need to ask? Of course it's Donald, the reputation of the past few decades is not a ......."

At the door of the jade trading center, two jade merchants from China chatted, and the topic was of course not far from Zhuang Rui and Tang Lao's competition.

"I don't think so, Mr. Zhuang's comment yesterday, hey, God, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be able to win Donald today......"

"Xiao Guo, don't be unconvinced, Jiang is old and spicy, and the old man can trust him at a critical moment......"

Boss Jin is a little older, about fifty years old, and he has heard the most anecdotes about Donald's gambling stones, and he is a little dismissive of the words of this friend around him.

"I'm not convinced, old gold, or let's make a bet?"

This Xiao Guo is actually not young, and he is over forty years old, but in terms of temper, he really looks like a young man, and he directly shouted that he wanted to make a bet with Boss Jin.

"Bet on it, I'll bet 50,000 yuan, Donald wins!"

Boss Jin is also not to be outdone, Donald's record in the gambling stone field is very brilliant, almost all the best jade materials that can be heard, the old man has personally solved it.

"Okay, 50,000 is 50,000, I'll win by Mr. Zhuang!"

Boss Guo joined the gambling stone circle a little late, and Zhuang Rui was about the same period, and he once saw Zhuang Rui pick up the lamp and solve the bid in Pingzhou, and he was definitely a die-hard fan of Zhuang Rui.

"Hey, I said two, this is a peripheral gambling board? I also want to press Mr. Zhuang to win, does Boss Jin dare to accept it?"

These two people were at the door of the jade trading center, such a competition was not tight, but it attracted a group of people, who were gambling, and 50,000 yuan was not big, and these people also started to play, and some people immediately began to join in the fun.

Boss Jin was a little resentful that the person did not suppress Donald, and then he was provoked by his words, and nodded at the moment: "Acceptance, one will pay one, if Donald loses, my old Jin will still lose, but if Mr. Zhuang loses, the money will be mine......"

"That's no problem, I'm willing to lose the bet, Boss Jin, don't worry, can I write a check?"

"Hey, I'll press Donald 100,000, Lao Guo, do you dare to take it?"

This Zhuang Rui has fans, and Donald's fan base is even bigger, just now someone pressed Zhuang Rui, and immediately came out to sing the opposite scene.

"Unified fifty thousand one bets, how many to take less, grandma's, don't gamble on stones today, let's have some fun for these two who gamble on stones at night......"

Lao Guo is also a wonderful person, after seeing that the masses are so enthusiastic, he simply didn't go into the jade center to buy wool, asked the public staff outside for a table and paper and pencils, and set up a stall at the door with Boss Jin.

These bosses who participated in the Jade Public Plate, came early and late, and when they passed by this stall, they all felt novel, 50,000 yuan for them was just a meal and a mahjong game, and they all donated money and joined in.

Although it was only a bet of 50,000 yuan, it couldn't stand the number of people, and in the early morning, both sides actually accepted tens of millions of yuan each, which made Boss Jin and Boss Guo feel pressure.

Although these bets are not all cash, some people write checks, some people write IOUs, but as long as they win or lose, no one will owe the 50,000 yuan, of course, one of these two people must be lost.

It's just that the two of them have blown out the cowhide, and it will be difficult to ride a tiger, it doesn't matter if you lose some money, you can't lose face, you can only hold on hard.

……

"Donald, are you here to see the material?"

Zhuang Rui came in early, naturally he didn't know that there was a gambling stall at the door, as soon as he walked into the Mingbiao area, he saw Tang Lao with two young people, observing the rough stone along the way, and hurriedly went up to say hello.

"Hehe, I'm going to compete with you today, if I don't come here, how can I take out the jade?"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Tang Lao immediately laughed, making Zhuang Rui blush, he was a little stupid to ask this question.

The hidden bid will not be opened until the last three days of the public market, and Zhuang Rui will choose a stone to solve it with Tang Lao tonight, of course, he will come to the clear bid area.

"Xiaozhuang, there is a lot of material, and today we can always open the rough stone numbered to 30,000, which is enough for the two of us to choose, and see who picks the material when the time comes?"

At Tang Zenan's age, money and power are no longer attractive to him, and only in the ever-changing gambling process that he doesn't know what will happen in the next moment, can he feel excited.

It's just that over the years, people who have participated in the gambling circle have used money more to smash it, rather than relying solely on technology to judge, which has disappointed the old man.

Now seeing Zhuang Rui, who is young and has a pair of good eyes, Tang Lao really has a heart of victory, saying that when he was Zhuang Rui's age, he was just an ordinary staff member of the Jiangsu Provincial Geological Bureau.

After hearing Donald's words, Zhuang Rui was also very excited, and said with a smile: "Okay, Don't let my back wave push the front wave!"

Zhuang Rui has not appeared in the gambling stone circle for two years, and Zhuang Rui knows that many people have doubts about their ability to appreciate jade, so this time let's use the facts to speak!
