Chapter 231: Visiting (Supplement 17+18)
Chapter 231 Visit
After Jia Nidao asked about this sentence, he took the opportunity to learn about the jadeite wool market in Myanmar from a big businessman like Wang Biao! Although, on the Internet in advance, Jia Nidao had paid attention to a lot of information in this regard, but after all, the Internet is just a network, and compared with a businessman like Wang Biao who has personally gone to Myanmar to buy goods, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of mistakes, and even mistakes! I can't help it, Jia Rudao is thinking that at this time, he is idle anyway, so it is better to ask for advice.
Moreover, Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran on the side, to put it bluntly, are also similar to Jia Yidao!
With Li Shiyun's capital, naturally she has never been to Myanmar to buy goods. And Ji Yanran, in the eyes of Jia Yidao, is probably a character who helps people check the jade rough, or is a lover of gambling stones.
Even when I went back to Yunnan, it was the first time I went there, let alone Myanmar!
Fortunately, Wang Biao didn't have anything to be reserved at this point, he was very direct, and he talked to Jia Rudao and the others. For a while, the jadeite merchants on the side were all fiercely competing for the jadeite materials in the 'Mingbiao' area, and the three of Jia Rudao were like curious babies, listening to Wang Biao's explanation.
This atmosphere, how to look at it, how to feel a little awkward and weird!
It's just that the four people who enjoyed it didn't pay much attention to it. And the only woman surnamed Liu who sees this in her eyes will not remind her at all. In the end, because Wang Biao spoke interestingly, even the woman surnamed Liu quickly became one of the listeners.
Generally speaking, at the turn of spring and summer every year, in the territory of Myanmar, there will be many times of jadeite fairs! The more famous, of course, is Yangon and other places of large-scale jadeite fairs! At that time, almost all the world's jadeite merchants will flock to go, just like an annual event in the jadeite industry!
The way in which the jade public market in Myanmar is held is also different from the jade public market in Jieyang area in which Jia Yidao participates.
The jade public market in Myanmar is presided over by the Myanmar government. On these public auctions, there are not only jadeite rough stones, but also many jewelry and gemstones to participate in the auction!
Moreover, in recent years, because most of the jade ore mining companies have adopted mechanical excavation, the degree of ore excavation is naturally much faster. The Burmese government saw that this was profitable, so it increased the number of jade auctions every year. You know, as far as a country like Myanmar is concerned, the profits obtained from the jade market are an important way for their government to generate revenue!
Correspondingly, the military of Myanmar has strictly banned the smuggling of jadeite wool. Once it is traced, not only will the person be arrested, but even the smuggled jadeite will be confiscated, and the person will be imprisoned or executed.
As a result, on the border of Myanmar, the original 'lively' areas, the outflow of jadeite wool is becoming more and more difficult!
However, in addition to jadeite wool, other gemstones, the Myanmar military, is slightly weaker in prohibition. For example, in addition to being the homeland of Myanmar, Myanmar is also one of the important sources of rubies, and the pigeon's blood rubies produced in Myanmar are one of the best rubies in the world.
Compared with the cold and beautiful jadeite, the red and beautiful of the ruby is much richer.
I can hear that the three girls on the side are quite a little ready to move at this time!
However, if you want to go to Myanmar, it is one aspect that it is more troublesome in terms of channels, and in addition, it will not be too safe.
No matter how unclear Jia Rudao is, he must know that the well-known 'Golden Triangle' region is in Myanmar! That place, but the area where various forces meet, coupled with the huge gang group behind the Golden Triangle, ordinary people really need to have a little more courage if they want to go to Myanmar to pan for gold!
Xu is talking about these dark parts, Li Shiyun's three daughters' original emotions became a little hesitant for a while.
Wang Biao couldn't help but feel happy, and glanced at Jia Yidao, and could clearly see the kind of sympathetic sigh between the two men: women......
However, after Wang Biao's conversation box was opened, the content involved in his speech became more and more extensive, and it was no longer limited to the jadeite rough in Myanmar. What kind of customs, heroin and other drugs, and even some legendary stories of the Chinese in Myanmar, etc., have all been excavated from Wang Biao's mouth by Jia Yidao and a few people. For Jia Rudao and a few people, it is a kind of satisfaction of desire, and at the same time, it is also a kind of auditory enjoyment! It is far more meaningful than watching other jade merchants on the side, fierce competition for jade materials.
And then, the group also returned to what Jia Rudao said, after next spring, they will go to Myanmar together. At least Jia Yidao and Wang Biao have such a significance. As for what the three women think, it's not too early until next year?
Because Jieyang's jade public plate is three days. By the end of the afternoon, the bidding in the 'Mingbiao' area had not yet been completed! The next morning, everyone continued to come to the venue of the jadeite public market, and the bidding for the remaining part of the jadeite was carried out.
Compared with yesterday, Liu Yufei's enthusiasm today is obviously much lower.
Many of the exchanges last night, Liu Yufei said that the price of jadeite materials on these jadeite public plates is far higher than everyone's expectations, and yesterday's competition has consumed a lot of jadeite merchants' funds. Many businessmen are almost already overdrawn! As a result, today's Liu Yufei, in Jia Rudao's view, seems to have the feeling of sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight.
As for Yang Quan and Inoue's group, in the morning, they couldn't be seen at all!
Jia Rudao inspected for a while, and didn't even see the familiar figures of Hao Dong and Manager Dong.
Of course, not all people are so sensible. As far as the entire Jade Public Market is concerned, it is really not a big deal to miss so many people. If you really want to have some reaction, it is that there is less competition from these few people, and the bidding for this morning's jade material is even higher in terms of price!
For a while, even people like Liu Yufei and Wang Biao frowned tightly!
The so-called big bosses, at last, exhausted all their patience on the first and second day of waiting, and before the last moment of the third day, they began to rush to buy! Moreover, the use of the title of 'big boss' seems to be insufficient to show the sheer size of their funds. In Jia Yidao's opinion, these people are just here to throw money!
Because the government has not yet issued relevant laws and regulations, there is no tax at all for the sale of jadeite wool except for the imposition of a certain tariff when it comes in. This is like a private transaction between the people, even if the amount of the transaction is large, tens of billions or billions, the government has no way to collect any consumption tax and business tax. Therefore, this line of work naturally attracted a lot of collectors, speculators, and even gangsters and money launderers, and all kinds of people came.
Anyway, at a glance, it should be a three-class and nine-rate, and there are all kinds of people!
It wasn't until near noon that Jia Yidao noticed that Yang Quan and his party were quite late, and Hao Dong and Manager Dong also arrived one after another. At this point, the jadeite rough on the entire jadeite market, except for some unsuccessful bids, is basically auctioned. And Yang Quan, these people, naturally calculated the time and stepped on a little bit.
After that, it's time for everyone to pay and pick up the goods!
There are people who win the bid, and naturally they are elated. If you don't hit a single one, you'll leave the market and be ready to go elsewhere, or you may simply wait until next year. Jia Rudao, Li Shiyun, and Ji Yanran, together with Wang Biao, immediately contacted the logistics company after extracting all the winning goods, and packed all these jadeite rough stones and transported them to their respective places!
During this period, Li Shiyun deliberately said: "Xiao Jia, do you want to pack and transport you and Yanran's jade rough together? Anyway, both of you are from the sea." ”
Ji Yanran smiled faintly on the side, but Jia Yidao shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything!
Let him pack the jade rough and Ji Yanran's together, but it can save a few pieces of freight, but, first, the two of them have different addresses for receiving the goods, and in the end, they don't need to be shipped separately?
Wu Zi filled out the shipping list, and Jia Rudao breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, this time I didn't look for Ah San to receive the goods again!
Jia Nidao pondered, he was in the Jieyang area, at most he would stay for another two days, and when he rushed back, he should still have time to receive the goods! After all, the transportation of the logistics company, compared with Jia Nidao's separate trip, still needs to consume more time!
"What, aren't you going to stay here for a few days, aren't you going to cut a few pieces first and see your luck?" Wang Biao saw Jia Yidao's actions, and immediately quipped.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Jia, if you cut the stone in the afternoon, you and Brother Wang will stay for a few more hours and go to Xiamen later. The woman surnamed Liu next to Wang Biao said the same.
"I don't think I'd better bother you two. Jia Rudao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't know that Wang Biao and the two were still in the mood to make fun of him when they were so separated. However, after such a joke, the sense of atmosphere between several people who are about to separate is much weaker!
Businessmen, all year round, basically go all over the country! How can there be no difference?
looked at Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran, although there was still a trace of the gentleness on their relaxed faces, but there were not too many changes in the mental state of the whole person! Jia Yidao muttered to himself: It seems that he is still in love!
Subsequently, after discussing with Wang Biao for a while, the 7.5 million pieces of glass blue jadeite that were gambled back were temporarily handed over to Wang Biao for safekeeping, and by the way, I found a master to remove all the impurities on the side. Then, to see if the whole piece is carved or cut into bracelets for sale, you need to discuss it again!
In any case, such a piece of glass blue jadeite material is bidding for a four-person joint venture, and the first thing that needs to be considered is naturally to maximize the benefits!
When the group was almost loaded with goods, Liu Yufei also hurried over. There are also a lot of auctions for his jadeite materials, but without the operation of the logistics company, Liu Yufei should receive these jadeites a lot in the morning, right?
"It's all done?" Liu Yufei first asked Jia Yidao, and then said goodbye to Wang Biao!
"Hmm!" Jia Rudao nodded. Looking at Liu Yufei's appearance, he should also know that his winning goods must have been transported to his home by someone, right? Because it is now afternoon, it is still early, Wang Biao and the woman surnamed Liu will no longer stay polite, say goodbye, and get into a taxi to leave!
Afterwards, Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran glanced at each other, and naturally left after them.
Jia Rudao sighed. Before he could speak, Liu Yufei asked first: "What, if you are reluctant, you will go with you! Yang Quan, I can handle it alone." ”
"you. Jia Rudao said angrily, "I know all day long! Moreover, I didn't stay specifically to see how you and Yang Quan traded." I'm not interested in your little deal. ”
"Hey, I'm not fooling around. Liu Yufei explained indignantly, and then said, "Let's go, go to my house first." The old man, I still want to meet you. ......" As he spoke, Liu Yufei pulled Jia Yidao and walked towards the place where he parked!
"But, seriously, are you really not interested in our deal? So what are you staying for?...... Oh, I see. Saying that, Liu Yufei deliberately dragged out his voice, looking like I could see you, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Is it because Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran, the two of them want to go together, are you afraid that it will be difficult to start halfway?"
"Get out!" Jia Rudao scolded angrily.
However, in his heart, Jia Rudao couldn't help but start following Liu Yufei's words, and began to reverie little by little. It seems that in that ambiguous tone, there is a faint crimson in my mind. ……
"Your kid is quite fast, just a little time, everything is ready. Jia Rudao sat in the carriage, still a little unrelieved. It wasn't until a 'snap' that Liu Yufei closed the car door that it was considered to be back to normal.
"What do I call this quick? Liu Yufei started the car and drove to Jieyang City, but his mouth said, "Yang Quan's side, that's the word 'fast'." ”
"Oh, what do you say?" Jia Rudao asked curiously, "Shouldn't he have arrived at your house by now?"
"That's not all. Liu Yufei said while driving, "However, he has already called me just now, saying that he will trade at night." The efficiency of doing things in Japan is indeed very high. …… Hehe, Xiao Jia, speaking of which, I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you taking down the piece of blue water jade on the jade plate, it is estimated that at this time, I would have been impatient and would have gone to find Yang Quan. In this case, I will be miserable. …… But now, hehe, listening to his cautious tone on the phone, my heart is happy!"
"I've helped you and myself, so why not?" Jia Yidao smiled faintly. Speaking of which, if Liu Yufei has an advantage in the transaction, it is really more advantageous for Jia Nidao! After all, the glass species blue jade that Liu Yufei and Yang Quan need to trade is what Jia Nidao has!
Now at the market price, it is transferred to Liu Yufei. If Liu Yufei makes a lot of profits, he must give Jia Yidao a little benefit, right?
"By the way, can you reveal whether you are bidding together in a joint venture?" Liu Yufei asked in a low voice.
"Hmm. Jia Rudao nodded. In fact, even if Jia Yidao deliberately concealed it, it had no effect. On the jade plate, Jia Rudao, Li Shiyun, and Ji Yanran took turns to bid on the rostrum, but they were all obvious things! Liu Yufei asked now, it was nothing more than a curiosity. At least, among the few people in Jia Rudao's joint venture, the allocation of funds is still quite interesting, right?
However, seeing that Jia Rudao didn't mean to explain, Liu Yufei simply didn't ask.
Soon, the two arrived in the urban area of Jieyang. However, Jia Nidao paid attention to the street outside the car window, and it didn't seem to be the way to Liu Yufei's villa where Jia Nidao had been before, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why don't you go to the villa first?"
"Well, go straight to my hometown. Liu Yufei said with a big grin, "You don't have any opinions, right?"
"Nope. Jia Rudao was speechless, "But, am I going to visit the old man empty-handed?"
"What does it matter. Liu Yufei was very generous, and while driving, he subconsciously waved his right hand, "What my old man doesn't like the most is those red tape." On the contrary, you went so empty-handed, and you could still please his old man. Besides, let's go over there, that is, say hello to the old man, have a meal, and then, I will take you to find a few masters who are better at the Jieyang side, and see who is more free in the recent past. …… Don't you want to find a skilled master, our people here are more fond of places, especially those carving masters with good skills, all of them have strange tempers, and they are the same as their craftsmanship. In my face, I still don't want those masters to go to Linhai. However, with the nod of my old man, it is estimated that there will not be much of a problem. ”
……
By the time Jia Rudao arrived at the location, it was already dozens of minutes later. As Liu Yufei said before, the house in his hometown is not in the city, but in the suburbs, or in the more remote suburbs, which is somewhat similar to a rural town.
What imprinted into Jia Rudao's eyes is a simple farmhouse-style building, row by row, and this is still renovated. On the side, there are many old houses!
Liu Yufei's car was driving and was a little bumpy, and then stopped at the edge of an old house.
Jia Yidao paid attention to it, the whole house was two-story, and there were five or six rooms side by side. The bottom part of the wall is mostly made of large stones, and there is some thin mud. As for the second floor, there are quite a few wooden structures. The whole house feels quite simple, and it also shows that it has been around for quite a few years.
"This is the house where my grandfather lived when he was a child. After getting out of the car, Liu Yufei patted Jia Nidao on the shoulder and said, "Alas, the old man is old, and in the end he is still not used to the new houses in the city, so he lives here alone." No, it's good that this place is quite spacious, isn't it?"
Jia Rudao nodded. This scene is somewhat similar to his own hometown.
There is a large open space in front of the door and behind the house, and it is not a problem to park a few cars or something. Moreover, the neighbors on the left and right, because of the frequent movement, such as before meals, dusk and other times, most of them gather in the open space at the door, chatting, chatting and chatting about family life, especially in the cool of summer nights, the elderly, occasionally to the children, telling some mythological stories! In this way, the relationship between the neighbors is very harmonious!
The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and this is exactly the case!
And such an environment is indeed more suitable for the elderly to live!
Concrete walls, empty corridors, upstairs and downstairs, as long as the door is closed, all relations with the surrounding neighborhood are cut off. Many times, after living for more than half a year, I don't know who lives in the opposite door of my house!
Of course, Jia Rudao came to visit today as Liu Yufei's friend to come to see the old man's house. After all, Liu Yufei used Jia Yidao's piece of glass to plant blue jadeite in exchange for a birthday gift for the old man: Moyu Birthday Star!
If Liu Yufei didn't mention it, it would be a bit unreasonable to bring Jia Rudao to visit the old man!
Jia Yidao naturally won't shirk it!
Thinking in his heart, Liu Yufei pulled Jia Yidao and walked into the middle of the row of houses in front of him. The wooden door, which was originally open, was not knocked on. Moreover, before the two of them stepped in, they heard a faint sound of some arguments coming from inside!
