Chapter 374: Hidden Signs

"Let's go, it's almost time, we guess we're going to be late today......"

Chen Kai looked at the time, according to the rules of the Myanmar Jade International Public Trade Fair, you can usually enter at eight o'clock, but today is the first day of opening, there are more people going, and it is almost ninety o'clock after completing the formalities.

"Then hurry up, if the good stones are bought by others, they will be ......" Hearing Chen Kai's words, Fang Yi hurriedly said.

"You kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand......"

Yu Xuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, pointed at Fang Yi with his finger, and said: "The Jade Public Market can't be held in one day, let me tell you, the first three days are the time to see the goods, and the middle is almost five days of the dark mark time, and the last three days are the clear mark, and it will take more than ten days before and after......

"Teacher, what does this mean?"

Fang Yi is really unfamiliar with this jadeite public market in Myanmar, and although he learned a lot of knowledge about jadeite identification from Yu Xuan, he doesn't know anything about the operation of the jade public market in Myanmar.

"Get in the car first, talk ...... as you go"

Yu Xuan waved his hand and got into Chen Kai's car first, while Ah Hu and the others got into the jeep, but after coming to Yangon, the machine guns mounted on the jeep were unloaded, after all, Yangon is the capital of Myanmar and the territory of the government army, so they can't be too arrogant.

"Fang Yi, do you understand the bidding?" After getting into the car, Yu Xuan asked.

"I don't understand ......" Fang Yi shook his head very dryly, although he learned a lot of knowledge after coming down the mountain, he really didn't understand the terms of this profession.

"Yes, it seems that your teacher Sun didn't teach you anything in business......" Yu Xuan patted his head and smiled bitterly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I won't explain the commercial bidding to you, just tell you about the bidding on the jade market......

If you want to buy rough stones on the Myanmar jadeite market, you must know what is called the dark mark and the clear mark, otherwise even if you go, you can't buy a stone, according to the convention, the wool of the jade jade on the public plate usually accounts for four-fifths of the total, and the remaining fifth will be the clear mark.

The so-called hidden bidding means that the buyer first fills in the number issued to the bidder by the organizing committee, the name of the bidder, and the number of the bidder on the bidding form, and then fills in the bidding price of the good-looking jade wool, and finally puts it into the standard box marked with the bidding number.

Because each buyer does not know the bidding object and the bidding price of their respective bids, this method is called "hidden bidding", and the winning bidder and the bidding price are publicly announced according to the number of the bidding object when the bid is unveiled, and the winning bidder is naturally the highest bidder.

The bid is relatively simple, to put it bluntly, it is a live auction, the buyers are all concentrated in the trading hall, and the public plate staff announces a bidder number every time, and the buyers will bid in turn on the spot, and whoever shows the highest bid price will win the bid.

It can be said that the dark mark is a battlefield without gunsmoke, although everyone will know that the wool they fancy was bought in the end, but the referee is the organizing committee of the public market, and when it is announced, it is already the final result, and everyone will not hurt the harmony.

But the clear bid is different, the auction is naturally to raise the price, and no one is willing to give the material they fancy to others, so almost every time the jade public auction is auctioned, there will always be sparks, and it is also the time for each company to show its strength.

"In recent years, the reserve price of wool set by the public has become higher and higher......"

When Yu Xuan explained to Fang Yi that the secret mark was clearly marked, Chen Kai also complained beside him, "In the past, one or two million could become the bid king of the public market, but now one or two million is not good, and I don't know how many bids I can win with the little money I brought......

With the economic recovery of Myanmar's neighboring countries, the price of jade and jade has also risen by leaps and bounds, when Chen Kai just entered this industry, a full green ice bracelet was sold for 350,000 yuan at most, but now, the minimum cost of a full green ice bracelet is one or two million, and the price is rising upward.

The price of jadeite jewelry has risen, which will naturally lead to the rise of raw materials, so the current Myanmar jadeite public plate is compared with the previous shabby, but there is a kind of rich taste in it.

For example, Chen Kai, who brought more than 10 million US dollars, can only be regarded as a jade merchant with a little ability, and there are more than a dozen people who are about the same as him, as for those multinational jewelers, Chen Kai can not compare with them.

"Gold is priceless and jade is priceless, what the ancients said is really right......" Hearing Chen Kai's words, Fang Yi was also speechless, he had also come into contact with Hetian jade in China, but he didn't expect the price of jadeite to be higher than Hetian jade.

"Fang Yi, you are optimistic about that piece of material, don't rush to write the bid first, I'll write it after reading it for you......" Yu Xuan knew that Peng Bin gave Fang Yi $500,000, and he was afraid that Fang Yi would spend it indiscriminately, so he specially told him.

"Okay, teacher, I'm just going to study, I won't necessarily buy ......" Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, he had never touched jade before, and the knowledge he learned from the teacher was mostly on paper, so Fang Yi naturally wouldn't take the liberty of it.

"That's good, hey, we're almost there......" Yu Xuan pointed to a building in front of him and said, "Fang Yi, that's where the Jade Gongpan is located, it's estimated that there are a lot of people today, don't walk around......"

Following the direction of Yu Xuan's finger, Fang Yi saw a mushroom-roofed building, four or five steel structures like mushroom roofs combined to form a composite building, there is such a place in Yangon, which is full of old city and ancient buildings, which is very eye-catching.

When Fang Yi's car was still five hundred meters away from Gongpan, they were stopped by a sentry post, and more than a dozen soldiers with real guns and nuclear bombs and helmets and body armor surrounded them, and Chen Kai, who was sitting in front, hurriedly got out of the car and handed over a document to the soldiers led by him.

"This stinky boy, he can't learn, but he's quite talented in learning languages......"

Sitting in the car and listening to Chen Kai chattering and communicating with the soldiers, Yu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and scold, not to mention, as long as it is related to making money, Chen Kai always learns very fast, he not only speaks English very well, but even Burmese is fluent.

Of course, smooth communication also has to be checked, after saying a few words to the soldier, Chen Kai turned back helplessly and said: "Fang Yi, you guys get out of the car first, they have to check, in addition, Ah Hu and their car don't go in, this time it is strictly forbidden to bring a gun into the ......"

"Start checking here?" Yu Xuan pushed the car door and walked down, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you only check when you entered the house before, what's going on this time?"

"Uncle Yu, there's no way, this time it's a cash transaction, and the Myanmar side is also afraid of accidents...... Chen Kai smiled bitterly, and Fang Yi said: "You go and tell Ah Hu and them, your kid and Peng Bin bowed to each other, and they are much better than me in front of them." ”

"Okay!" Fang Yi nodded, walked to the jeep parked more than ten meters behind their car, and said, "Brother Hu, you all have guns, right?"

"What's the matter? Burma can't help guns again......"

Ah Hu also saw that there was an inventory in front of him, but he didn't think it was a gun check, you know, there are so many armed forces in Myanmar, except for the honest people, who doesn't have a gun on him.

"Guns are not banned in Myanmar, but guns are prohibited in this public market, Brother Hu, you can park your car outside and wait for a while......" Fang Yi saw that in an open space not far from the outpost, there were already more than ten cars parked, presumably all of them were bodyguards invited by those who participated in the public market this time.

"That's not good, Brother Bin told me that I will always follow you, even if I don't have a gun, I have to go in with you......"

Ah Hu shook his head, after thinking for a while, he took out a pistol from his waist and handed it to the person next to him, then took out a pistol from under his armpit and pulled open his trouser leg.

"Okay, there's no gun on you......" Ah Hu patted him on the body and said, "I'll go in with you and let them wait outside, by the way, if there is any situation, you can use a gun grenade to take off the outpost and rush in......"

Ah Hu's previous sentence was said by Fang Yi, and the latter sentence was to explain to his subordinates, Fang Yi knew that Ah Hu was not joking, because the AK they carried could indeed fire grenades, and in the trunk of the jeep, there was a whole box of gun grenades with a base number.
