Chapter Eighty-Three: Participation in the Public Auction
After more than a month of preparation, on March 11, Fan Xingchen took a plane from Kunming to Yangon, Myanmar, and Gao Shengli and other jade merchants from Sihui accompanied him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Yangon was still the capital of Myanmar.
Two days later, on March 13, the 2004 Myanmar Spring Emerald Fair was officially opened in Yangon.
The public market transactions include jadeite raw materials, pearl semi-finished products and red and sapphire semi-finished products, among which jadeite wool transactions are the mainstay.
Including in his previous life, Fan Xingchen has never been to Myanmar, and has not even gone abroad.
Before being reborn, Fan Xingchen had read a lot of novels about gambling stones and had a little understanding of jadeite wool trading, but he had not personally experienced jadeite wool trading activities.
After being reborn, Fan Xingchen and Li Qi went to Sihui and bought a lot of gambling stones, and after unlocking them, there were ups and downs, and overall, he made money.
This time he came to Myanmar to participate in the jade fair, Fan Xingchen had great expectations, and he was also fully prepared.
At the public market, Fan Xingchen and Gao Shengli exchanged a lot.
Gao Shengli has come to Myanmar to participate in the Jade Public Market several times before, and knows a lot of Taoism, Fan Xingchen came for the first time, there are many things he doesn't understand, he regards Gao Shengli as a friend, he has any questions in his heart, and he will not be embarrassed to ask.
"I estimate that I can get 100,000 euros for this piece of wool. Gao Shengli pointed to a green jadeite wool and said in valuation.
"100,000 euros, can you really buy it?" said Fan Xingchen with a smile.
"The 100,000 euros are paid to the Burmese government, and if you want to ship this piece of jadeite back home, you have to pay a lot of taxes to the domestic government, you have to take into account. Gao Shengli reminded, "If you don't consider the tariffs that will return to China, the jadeite wool that can make money will also lose money." ”
"I know. Fan Xingchen smiled and nodded.
Gao Shengli stared at Fan Xingchen a few times and asked, "Are you interested in this piece of jade?"
"Interested. Fan Xingchen said without hesitation, thought for a moment, looked around, saw that there was no one else nearby, and said in a low voice, "I am ready to bid at a price of eighty-one thousand euros, if I can win, then I will earn, if I can't win, then forget it." ”
Fan Xingchen held the mentality of trying it out, filled out the bid, he felt that the price of 81,000 euros was already very low, and the probability of winning the bid was extremely low, but his luck was too good, and he finally won the bid, and the other bidders bid the highest 80,880 euros, which was 20 euros short, and he did not win the bid.
Fan Xingchen heard that Gao Shengli had valued a lot of medium and high-grade jadeite wool at the public auction site, and he felt that Gao Shengli gave a very low valuation, but he did not take it for granted that he would definitely not win the bid if he bid at Gao Shengli's valuation.
The main reason why Fan Xingchen feels that Gao Shengli's stock price is low is that he knows that in the next few years, the price of medium and high-end jadeite will rise sharply, and the jadeite wool that is not very optimistic about now can be stored in his hands for a few years, and then sold after seven or eight years, and he can get dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the profit.
The Emerald Fair doesn't end in a day.
That night, Fan Xingchen was in the hotel and made a phone call to the Fan Family Fresh Fish Shop in Huhai, and the person who answered the phone was Qiao Zhen.
"Aunt Zhenzhen. Fan Xingchen smiled and said, "Let my dad answer the phone." ”
"Xingchen, your parents have returned to their hometown. Qiao Zhen said in a deep voice.
Fan Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized that his grandfather might have passed away.
"Your grandfather died the night before. Qiao Zhen said.
"Hey!" Fan Xingchen sighed.
"Your parents said that you should return to China after you are busy with Myanmar affairs, although you can't attend your grandfather's funeral, on March 7, you can go back to your hometown to worship your grandfather. ”
Fan Xingchen asked, "My second and third uncles have both gone back to their hometowns, right?"
"yes. Qiao Zhen replied, paused, and said, "Yuanhong, Pingping, and Jicai didn't go back. Your girlfriend Li Qi and your parents have returned to their hometown together. ”
"Thank you for your hard work. ”
"It's not hard. Qiao Zhen sighed lightly, "Xingchen, you want to open a little, the day before yesterday, your mother was still talking to your grandfather on the phone, and your grandfather said that he was happy to see that you are now promising." ”
Fan Xingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Aunt Zhenzhen, you help me talk to my cousin, let him go back to his hometown to attend my grandfather's funeral, the courier company has a lot of trustworthy people, he is not in the company for a few days, there will be no big problems." ”
"Okay, I'll call him later. ”
"Let's talk about this first, you call him right away. After Fan Xingchen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
That night, Fan Xingchen did not lose sleep, but he saw his grandfather in a dream.
The next morning, when Fan Xingchen woke up, he recalled the dream he had, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember what dream he had.
According to the law of Myanmar, foreigners who want to come to Myanmar to buy jadeite wool can only buy jadeite wool at the public market organized by the Myanmar government, so that they can be legally exported.
Fan Xingchen has storage space, he came to Myanmar, directly to Myanmar jade merchants to buy jadeite wool, the transaction price is generally cheaper than selling on the jade market, after all, private transactions, jade merchants will not take the initiative to pay taxes to the government, and jade merchants put jade wool on the public plate to sell, as long as the transaction, the government will take a large percentage of taxes.
In addition, in private transactions, in addition to the low transaction price, Fan Xingchen can put the jadeite wool into the storage space and transport it back to China unknowingly, without paying customs duties, which can also save a lot of money.
Fan Xingchen came to Myanmar for the first time, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he did not buy jadeite wool privately, and put his mind on the public market.
Most of the jadeite wool on the jadeite plate is cut open, but a small part is fully covered.
Fan Xingchen has a storage space that can identify whether there is jade in the whole mask, and before, he made some money by gambling on stones in Sihui.
This time, Fan Xingchen naturally would not give up this opportunity and placed orders for many gambling stones.
In order to avoid someone competing with him, when Fan Xingchen placed a bid for the gambling stone, he secretly filled it in, and he filled in the price, even if it was Gao Shengli, he didn't tell him.
Coming to the public market, Fan Xingchen turned around, and secretly sighed that the money in his hand is too little, if he now has tens of billions of funds, then this public transaction, he will become the largest buyer, let alone buy tens of millions of goods, in his eyes, at this time, the price of high-grade jadeite wool is too low.
The public market lasted five days and ended on March 18.
Fan Xingchen felt that he was lucky, and the probability of winning the bid was very high, and in the end, he won 26 bids, with a total transaction price of 526,000 euros.
When Gao Shengli learned of Fan Xingchen's winning rate, he didn't feel that Fan Xingchen was lucky, but felt that it was not cost-effective for the other party to spend all this money to buy these jade wool, and the price was too high.
Fan Xingchen feels that the price of each jadeite wool that wins the bid is appropriate, not only because he knows that the price of high-end jadeite will soar in the next few years, but also because he can get a large number of free jadeite rough stones from the underground in northern Myanmar with the help of storage space in the future.
In fact, Fan Xingchen also knew in his heart that there were not many jadeite, and if he could get a few hundred catties of top-grade jadeite wool, he could become the largest jadeite jeweler.
A top-quality jade bracelet can be sold for a few million yuan, and it will be more expensive in the future, so it is not too easy to make money.
Of course, Fan Xingchen knows that things are scarce, top jadeite is very rare, he does not seek to get hundreds of catties of top-grade jadeite wool, she hopes to be able to get tens of thousands of catties of mid-range jadeite wool in the future, a bracelet sells for hundreds of thousands, there are tens of thousands of such jade bracelets in his hand, just selling bracelets can earn billions.
Thinking of this, Fan Xingchen had a feeling of stealing joy, although before, he had not obtained the jade rough from the underground of Myanmar with the help of storage space.
