Chapter 262 Contracting Jade Mines

Zhang Tianyuan may be because he drove a car, and the car was very high-end, so he was quickly targeted by some small traders. No sooner had his car stopped than a crowd rushed over.

"Boss, take a look, it's okay if you don't buy it. "Looking at these colorful jades, even people who don't usually go to the market are interested.

"We're here to sell jade, not to buy it. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"What!" the group of vendors dispersed in disappointment, but when they saw another car entering the market, they immediately surrounded them again, and their enthusiasm immediately rose again.

If measured by the noisy and crowded Cheng dù and the success rate of the transaction, this is probably the liveliest bazaar that Zhang Tianyuan has ever visited. Thousands of people crowded on the same day on a street that was not wide, and the whole street was divided into narrow passages where people were congested and merrily traded.

It's arguably hotter than any antique market he's ever visited.

The price of jade in the bazaar varies greatly, from tens of millions of yuan to 5 yuan. The jade trade in the bazar can be carried out between almost anyone, regardless of the buyer or seller. A person who might have bought a piece of jade for 50 yuan two minutes ago may be selling the jade he just bought at a higher price in the blink of an eye. Walking in the bazaar, at the same time at least 10 hands will reach out to you, peddling the objects in your hands known as Hetian jade.

So, the most active people in this place are actually second-tier dealers, and buying low and selling high is their specialty.

Small jade vendors walk around the market with jade and sell it. After Zhang Tianyuan parked his car in a nearby parking lot, he walked around the bazaar for two hours. A Balang wearing a Uyghur hat asked him five times if he wanted his jade, a larger jade vendor waiting for a buyer with a tractor full of jade, and a larger jade vendor renting his own permanent shop next to the bazaar.

There was a group of people around the corner from the bazaar. They surrounded two jade vendors in hats in the middle, and from time to time they said something in unison. Looking closer, the hands of the two were in each other's sleeves, it turned out that they were talking about the price, as for how much money was sold, outsiders had no way of knowing, for jade vendors, this was a business "secret".

And this kind of secret has also created a very good survival soil for the two dealers. Because you don't know how much money they bought the jade in their hands, they can sell it at a high price.

Bazari is dominated by jade vendors who make a living selling jade, but there are also casual jade vendors who pick up jade by the river and want to try their luck at the market to sell it for a good price, usually at a very low price. For them, they can use the money from the sale of jade to buy a sheep to eat.

In the past, One-Eyed, Ismaili, and Kunzhou all did this kind of thing, and Kurban also made money like this in the early years.

When he went to the parking lot to park, Zhang Tianyuan also noticed something. Rows of high-end cars parked outside the bazaar, with license plates hanging from the imperial capital, Nanxun, Shangpu, etc., Ke Yan sued Zhang Tianyuan, and the current owners of these cars are jade merchants in the bazaar. Mainland merchants came to the bazaar to buy jade. I came across a jade I liked, but I didn't have enough money, so I didn't want others to "snatch" it. The usual way to do this is to use cash and a luxury car to make this business. So in the bazaar, don't judge people by their appearance. An ordinary old man squatting on the side of the road eating barbecue turned around. You'll find him napping in the back seat of a Mercedes S600.

The price of Hetian jade has increased more than 1,000 times in the past 20 years, only taking mutton fat jade as an example, at the end of the 70s of the last century, a piece of about 1 kilogram of the best mutton fat jade was only sold for 200 yuan, and now, the price has climbed to more than 300,000 yuan, and the price of jade is still rising year after year. The continuous rise in the price of jade has directly led countless jade traders to shop for jade and sell jade here.

Now the annual Hetian jade festival has made Hetian jade famous, a Hetian jade festival, Hetian jade public transaction volume conservatively estimated should be more than 100 million yuan, jade dealers private transactions are not easy to estimate.

……

Ke Yan took Zhang Tianyuan around the bazaar, walking for more than three hours, because there were too many people, stop and go, sometimes you couldn't move a step for half a day, and finally entered a store.

"Ke Daxia, what kind of wind blew you here? Is this time buying jade or selling jade?" The shopkeeper's name was Baradei, with a gray beard and a pair of cunning and sophisticated eyes peculiar to businessmen. He picked up a box of Hetian seed jade, most of which were skinned and were of the highest quality.

Zhang Tianyuan looked at the box of Hetian seed jade, took out a mutton fat white jade weighing about five grams and the size of a little fingertip, and asked, "Is this thing sold for 10,000?"

Baladei glanced at Zhang Tianyuan, stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand!"

"Okay, Boss Zhang, you don't play, take out your jade, and let Boss Baladei open his eyes. Ke Yan smiled, he knew that Zhang Tianyuan was throwing stones to ask for directions, he first said to buy jade, wait for the other party to raise the price, and then say to sell jade, the other party would not be able to kill the price too hard.

This transaction was very successful, Zhang Tianyuan kept the piece of colorful jade, and the rest were all sold, basically his estimated price was relatively accurate, the first piece of jade found was sold for 130,000, which was divided by five people such as One-eye, and then a larger, better quality jade was sold for 1.3 million, which was divided by six people, and finally the quality of those jade picked up by Zhang Tianyuan was uneven, and it was sold for a total of 600,000, but the money was his alone, and there was no need to divide it.

After the "stolen goods" were over, each of the five people including One-Eye had more than 200,000 yuan, all of which were directly transferred to the bank card, and they had worked for so many years, and it was the first time they had gotten so much money.

Zhang Tianyuan insisted on giving Ke Yan a benefit fee of 20,000 yuan, after all, they worked hard to help him find a buyer, so he had to mean it.

"I'll come back often. "ElBaradei seemed very enthusiastic, although this time there was a lot of blood, but more than two million was really not a problem for him, he sold it. Able to sell for more money.

"Okay!"

Everyone left ElBaradei's shop, and Zhang Tianyuan invited them to the best hotel in the neighborhood for a meal. Then they went home, and of course Zhang Tianyuan went to find Kurban. Regarding the matter of contracting jade mines, it is time for him to settle down.

……

Looking at Zhang Tianyuan, who looked dusty in front of him, as if he was coming back from begging for food, Kurban hurriedly ordered his subordinates to boil hot water for him, take a hot bath, change clothes, and then drink tea and chat with him in the living room.

"Oh, you actually found the jade vein, just a few days?" Kurban obviously couldn't believe it, you must know that many people look for the jade vein, and it may not be possible to find it after spending several years. The money invested in it was millions, or even tens of millions, but Zhang Tianyuan had found the jade vein in less than ten days before and after.

"Probably not wrong. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Yes, no one knows if it's a jade vein, but how sure are you?" Kurban asked.

"I was six or seven percent sure, I looked around and decided to take a gamble. "Zhang Tianyuan looks like a gambler at this time. A completely reckless gambler.

Kurban smiled and said: "Xiao Zhang, there are some things I have to tell you, although it is said that few people go to Shihezigou, but I also went around there." The place you mentioned is a bit hanging. ”

"It's okay, I'm willing to cut my body. Anyway, isn't it just tens of millions? Zhang Tianyuan said indifferently.

At this moment, a man walked in from outside. It was Nie Zhen who got the news of Zhang Tianyuan's return and rushed to Kurban's house from outside.

"Haha. I said Master Kurban, don't persuade him, my brother is a rich man, tens of millions of dollars can be spent casually, and it's okay to lose it. Nie Zhen smiled, walked to the table, and directly picked up the tea that Zhang Tianyuan hadn't drunk yet.

"Okay, anyway, it's your contract, it's your business to lose or earn, my old man has said everything that should be said, you don't want to listen, so be it, anyway, not everyone can make a fortune in mining anyway. Kurban thought for a moment.

"Master Kurban, you can't ignore it, you are an expert in this area, you have to give a lot of support, such as your mining team, can I borrow it first, how much money is needed, I will pay it." In addition, if this mine is really jade in the future, it will give you five percent of the net profit every year as a thank you, how about it?" Zhang Tianyuan did not beat around the bush, everyone is a businessman, and it is better to put it bluntly.

"Haha, what's so embarrassing, I don't do anything and ask for five percent of your net profit?" said Kurban.

"I can't say that, you are a matchmaker this time, we contract the jade mine, and it is inseparable from your help. Zhang Tianyuan tried his best to praise Kurban, praising the other party with a smile.

Kurban patted the armrest of the chair and said: "Okay, that's it, it just so happens that my mining team has no work now, so I'll lend it to you first, but if there is really jade in this mine, you have to prepare your own mining team, I can't help you in that regard." ”

"Master Kurban, you don't have to worry about this, I've already done it. Nie Zhen smiled and said, "Do you really think that I have been out for a walk all this time? I have visited a few friends, and they have prepared a capable jade mining team for me, as long as this mine is opened, I will be able to work immediately." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Tianyuan was also a little excited, what he was worried about was that the mining team was not easy to organize, after all, there were too many people mining here, if you had to rob other people's jade miners, it would be to cause trouble, but Nie Zhen solved a big problem for him.

"Since everything is in order, then let's have a good rest today, and enter the mountains early tomorrow morning to open mines, whether to lose or earn, it will be done here. ”

As for the processing and sales of jade, Zhang Tianyuan will not let Kurban interfere, he has a complete set of sales and processing channels, and as soon as the jade arrives, it can be immediately transported to Shangpu and the imperial capital.

The only thing that is not perfect is that there is no store in Hejiang, and there is no supporting processing plant, otherwise, it is actually a good way to sell it locally.

But that's not a problem, are you afraid that you won't be able to do these things if you have money? It's impossible for the one-eyed people to stay in the mines, maybe they can use their connections to open a few shops in the jade bazaar, and they can also set up a processing factory.

"Brother, what I can help you is to take care of the government departments, and help you get the jade mining team, I don't understand the rest of the sales and processing, I have to rely on you alone, okay?" Nie Zhen asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"No problem, that's what I'm doing, but if I encounter any difficulties, I'll have to help. ”

"That's fine. ”

Kurban and Nie Zhen replied very happily, can they not be happy? They don't have to be responsible for this mine, they don't have to invest money, different equipment, and they don't have to worry about it, but they get 5 percent of the net profit every year, and if they don't even want to help, then they can't say anything.
