Chapter Twenty-Six: Encountering a Fierce Enemy in a Foreign Land

There is another chapter, overturned and desperate, brothers must also stand up, call

Wu Zhiyong entered the gambling stone market in 1997 and has been in the market for 12 years, and he has a deep understanding of gambling stones.

Wu Zhiyong's gambling stone is different from the concept of gambling stone before Tang Feng, Tang Feng when buying bloodstone and Tianhuang stone, without unraveling the shell and directly valuing it, it is called gambling stone. And Wu Zhiyong now said that the gambling stone refers to the jadeite rough, most of the jadeite rough has a leather shell, until now, there is no instrument in the world that can penetrate this leather shell to detect the composition inside, people can only judge the content of the jadeite according to the shape of the rough, the field and other limited conditions with their own vision and experience, so the jadeite rough itself is called a gambling stone, or gambling goods.

The jadeite mining area in Myanmar is mainly located in the northwest of Menggong in northern Myanmar, also known as the middle and upper reaches of the Wulu River, which is about 250 kilometers long, about 15 kilometers wide, and has a total area of more than 3,000 square kilometers.

The mining history of jadeite rough is not long, and it was only at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that regular mining began. Because the jadeite mines in northern Myanmar are very close to China, and they belong to the Chinese territory in history, and are under the jurisdiction of Tengchong Yue Prefecture, therefore, the mining, transportation and processing of jadeite in history are mostly carried out by the Chinese. In the middle of the twentieth century, due to the influence of China's ultra-left line, the Tengchong jade trade that had flourished for hundreds of years was banned, and the world's jade trading center moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand. With the decline of the famous jade city of Tengchong, Chiang Mai, which was originally a wilderness mountain village, gradually became the world's jade trading and distribution center, and became the second largest city in Thailand.

It was not until the 8C of the twentieth century that the domestic jadeite trade began to flourish again in Yunnan. Tengchong, Ruili and Kunlang became the main jade trading ports. In the 90s, the situation in Myanmar was brought under control due to the war, and the Myanmar government set up Wa Cheng, the second largest city in Myanmar, as a jade trading and distribution center, and due to its special geographical location, Wa Cheng became a new jade trading and distribution center, which has continued until now.

After getting the tickets, they found two seats in the terminal and sat down to continue chatting.

Wu Zhiyong said with a smile: "In 1997, I went to Tengchong, Yunnan Province to gamble on stones with 5 million yuan, and in less than three years, 10,000 yuan became 100,000 yuan, and I paid a whole thousand tuition. ”

Tang Feng said: "Tuition is not paid, shouldn't you make money after completing your studies?"

Wu Yong said: "Don't mention it. I'm out of luck when I say it. When I want to do a big job. The Tengchong gambling stone market began to shrink sharply. Old Burmese steals teachers to learn art. Reform and opening up have also begun. ”

Since 2000, the Diandian government has strengthened its control over the country's jadeite wool land. The wool is no longer exported but sold directly at auction in Wa City and Yangon. Wu Zhiyong continued: "The most hateful thing is. Lao Myanmar is no longer sold individually, but auctioned off in piles. I can't even touch the edges. ”

Under the local situation, the merchants of Guangdong and Hong Kong expelled the merchants from Yunnan. Thereupon. Guangdong replaces Yunnan. Ping Chau replaced Tengchong as the distribution center of Xindi's gambling stone trading. Wu Zhiyong said: "Because Pingzhou has a sufficient supply of goods. The best wool can only be found over there. No way. I had no choice but to move to Ping Chau. ”

Tang Feng asked Wu Zhiyong, "What is the result?"

"Alas.

Wu Zhiyong said with a wry smile: "The gambling stone has risen a few times. But. The more the bet rises, the more frightened it becomes. I didn't see how much money was made. But the courage is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, I didn't dare to bet. ”

With the continuous improvement and maturity of the market, the industrial chain began to be subdivided, there are batches of retail, gambling stone industry is more and more fine, that is, stone merchants from Myanmar batch to Pingzhou, professional gambling stone people in the middle of digestion, jewelry processing manufacturers acquisition, processing for finished products after distribution and retail. There is also a subdivision of the middle digestion link, Wu Zhiyong is a half-clear material, only half of the bet, wipe the opening, open the door and ship it back to Beijing to change hands, which can effectively reduce the risk borne by himself. And Tang Feng must gamble all this time, completely unravel the gambling stone, lose is losing, win is win, there is no room for conversion in the middle, and the risk will also increase. may also be the reason why Wu Zhiyong is willing to bring Tang Feng into the industry, they each eat their own piece of cake, and there is no conflict of interest. In other words, what Wu Zhiyong can help Tang Feng is just to bring him to the gambling stone trading market, and the rest depends on Tang Feng's creation.

The plane roared like a huge steel monster and rushed into the sky, and when the plane landed, it was already Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. As soon as the two walked out of the passage, a man in his thirties hurriedly greeted him, he was Wu Zhiyong's employee here, named Pang Wei, came to the parking lot, good guy, it was a Hummer again, it seems that half a gamble seems to be a little safer than a full gamble.

Pingzhou is a town under the jurisdiction of Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, because it is adjacent to Guangzhou, the largest jade and jade market in the country, so people are accustomed to calling Pingzhou Guangzhou Pingzhou.

Although there was once such a thing as "cherish life and stay away from Guangdong" on the Internet

However, the traffic in the Pearl River Delta region is still commendable, and the road is smooth, arriving at Pingzhou Jade Street, which is the largest jade gambling stone market in the country, with annual sales of more than one billion. Tang Feng was Wu Zhiyong's guest, Pang Wei was very polite to him, he said: "Boss Tang came at the right time, the jade bidding fair is underway, and the front is it." ”

The jade bidding fair in Pingzhou, known as the "Little Canton Fair", is very lively, however, in Tang Feng's view, this bidding fair is more like a vegetable market, or open-air. To put it intuitively, this is actually an ordinary street, and the street is full of stalls selling gambling stones.

When Tang Feng saw those gambling stones, large and small, all of which showed large cross-sections, his heart was already half cold, which was too unworthy of the name. Wu Zhiyong seemed to see Tang Feng's thoughts, and he said: "You don't need to look at these gambling stones, for those gambling stone predators, solving such gambling stones is considered a gambling failure." Tang Feng thought about it, the price of the jade jewelry produced by these gambling stones would not exceed four figures at most, and it would not be on the table.

Three people turned around, from the open-air market into the greenhouse area, the quality of the gambling stone in the greenhouse area is obviously better than the open-air market, and the gambling stone next to the faΓ§ade room in the greenhouse area is a higher grade, market economy, and the classification is clear. Walking through the greenhouse area, the three of them entered a storefront room, and as soon as the guy in the store saw Wu Zhiyong's huge body, his small eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly greeted: "Fat brother, please inside." ”

Wu Zhiyong smiled and asked, "How are your goods today?"

The guy said: "The batch that just arrived last night has not been unraveled, fat brother, don't worry, I will be the first to inform you of the news." ”

Wu Zhiyong patted his fellow on the shoulder and said, "Today's harvest is indispensable for you." ”

Then, three people through the store, out of the back door is a long corridor passage, to the end of the passage, suddenly opened, this is a trading hall of nearly 10,000 square meters, the hall of the rolling subtitle board from time to time appeared jade bidding fair words, here is the main venue of the bidding meeting, gambling stones are not solved.

Wu Zhiyong turned his head and asked Tang Fengdao: "Tang, I'm going to bid now, are you going to choose with us or by yourself?"

Wu Yong's goal was different from Tang Feng's, and Tang Feng didn't want to disturb him too much, he said, "I'll just take a look outside." ”

Wu Zhiyong nodded and said, "Then I'll see you at noon, and I'll call you then." ”

After Tang shook hands with the two of them, the three of them separated, and Tang Feng officially began his journey of gambling stones.

The fair is like a shopping mall, surrounded by shops, and in the middle is a row of large glass containers, which are filled with all kinds of jadeite wool materials marked with the price of origin, and Tang Feng felt dissatisfied after looking at several pieces. After going around for more than half an hour, he came to a shop in the shape of a "concave", in the middle of the shop was a circular ladder booth, and a piece of gambling stones was placed on the steps of the booth, and a large group of people were crowded around it.

Tang Feng leaned over curiously, and the group of people in front of him were all watching a thin old man in his fifties with a magnifying glass in his hand, who was looking at a stone. Tang Feng didn't have time to look at others, he walked up to check the gambling stone he fancied, the skin shell of the jade rough stone has sand skin, water skin, patent leather, old elephant skin, etc., Tang Feng saw this piece belongs to the sand skin.

This gambling stone is earthy yellow, the surface is very rough, it looks no different from ordinary pebbles, Tang Feng thinks this stone is good, and decided to look at the price. Gambling stones are not like antiques, they need labels, and the logos of gambling stones are written on the surface of gambling stones with a black thick marker.

The front of this gambling stone is clearly written: Longtang yellow sand skin, 11 kilograms. Longtang yellow sand skin these five words contain the origin and characteristics of the jadeite rough, Longtang is Longtang jade, also known as Longkeng jade, is one of the ten famous pits of the Myanmar jadeite rough origin, most of the jadeite rough produced here The water and bottom are relatively good, and the green color is very positive, and the high jade material is often produced. Of course, this is just a conventional statement, and Longkeng jade will definitely be able to produce high cui, besides, whether this gambling stone is from the old pit or not.

Tang Feng looked at the price of this gambling stone again, 10,000, regardless of whether the stone is from the old pit or not, this price must be from the old pit, close to 20,000 yuan a catty, which is indeed outrageous.

Tang Feng was looking here, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, he turned his head, it was actually Yang Chengming, Tang Feng never wanted to meet the number one rival in the future here, he appeared in the gambling stone market, Yang Chengming would definitely mistakenly think that he planned to get involved in the jade industry.

Tang Feng's national stone business has not attracted enough attention from Yang Chengming, once he starts to make jadeite, Yang Chengming will definitely count him and Jiang Yuan together, that is his competitor. Tang Feng is not afraid of competition, but afraid of falling into competition too early, after all, the current Chinese stone is far from being the opponent of Han and Tang Baoye.

Everyone was an acquaintance, and they were embarrassed not to say hello, Tang Feng greeted with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Yang, I am fortunate to meet you." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support & bubble book bar &!)
