Chapter 599: Sharpening the knife and not cutting wood
According to the classification of three kinds of jade public plates, Zhang Tianyuan participated in the third type this time, the special jewelry fair held in January, and the scale of this year is much larger than in previous years.
"You said that the public auction is the prototype of the auction, so what is the difference between the two, if you want me to say that they are not all the same?" Zhang Tianyuan actually still didn't understand.
"Let's put it this way, estimate the reserve price of the items to be traded, and organize buyers to bid on the basis of the reserve price, this is what they have in common, I believe that you participated in the public auction in Yancheng, you should also have some understanding. Liu asked.
"Well, I probably know that, so what's the difference?"
"There are many differences, but generally speaking, there are three, the first one, that is, the public auction is only to publicize the items to be traded on the market, and there is no need to identify and identify the items, while the auction must be graded and identified by experts, and the items that reach a certain grade or have a certain value can become auction items.
The second is that the reserve price of the public auction item is only negotiated by the industry or the market, while the reserve price of the auction item is negotiated by the expert scientific evaluation.
In fact, this is very easy to understand, you participate in a few public auctions, and then participate in several auctions, and it is clear to compare, in general, the scope of the public market is much larger than the auction, and the risk is much greater. Liu replied.
"Husband, I also have a question, how do you say this Burmese jade jade wool market works? They have held so many sessions. I never quite figured out what the situation was. Weng Hong saw that Liu Shengping and Zhang Tianyuan were talking lively, and he was bored by himself, so he also asked.
As a man who is afraid of his wife, oh no, he should be a man who loves his wife, Liu Shengping naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "The public auction of Burmese jade jade and jade wool not only retains the original state in the meaning of the public market, but also absorbs some means of auction. Myanmar's Jewellery Act regulates all jadeite wool mined from mining areas. Of course, since 1995, gemstones, pearls and other jewelry wool have been added, and these have all been concentrated in Yangon, and now Naypyidaw. Classification, grading, numbering, and reserve price. Every year, jewelry merchants from all over the world are invited to Yangon or Naypyidaw to appraise and bid on these wools. Whoever pays the highest price can buy it. In fact, it is a transaction between a public auction and an auction. It's a combination of the best of both worlds. ”
From the initial simple and unorderly jade public market to today, Myanmar's jade public market, is already quite formal, the general jade public disk, that is the use of clear and dark two ways to carry out, Yan Cheng that time of the jade public disk is the same, this in the jade industry, has become an unwritten rule, only less formal public disk, or relatively small scale, will choose the dark mark or clear mark one, mainly for convenience.
After the merchants fill in the number, the name of the bidder, the number of the bidder and the bid price issued to the bidder by the organizing committee on the bidding form, they put it into the tender box marked with the wool number.
This is basically the same as the original Yancheng public market, but it is not as advanced as Yancheng public market, Yancheng even used online bidding that time, many people are with laptops and tablets, or mobile phones to bid, and even do not need to walk around, nor do they need complicated procedures, only need to register an account with real name to bid, which is definitely in the forefront compared to Myanmar Jade Public, after all, Myanmar's infrastructure is a little too poor.
When the bid is unveiled, the winning bidder and the bid price are publicly announced according to the wool number, and the jade and jade wool of each public plate accounts for more than 4/5 of the hidden wool, which can be said to be the main way to sell wool.
The clear bid is naturally the on-site auction, the wool dealers are all concentrated in the trading hall, the public plate staff announces a wool number, and the bidders take turns bidding on the spot, who shows the highest bidding price, who will win the bid, so that the wool sold is less than 1/5.
"Then if we win the bid, do we also want to pay the bill on the spot like the last Yancheng Gongpan?" Zhang Tianyuan felt that his future father-in-law knew a lot of things, so he simply asked more, there is nothing wrong with knowing a little more things, it is much better than being anxious and not understanding anything later.
"Oh, the situation is like this, after all the bidding activities, the winning bidder and the organizing committee sign the "winning contract", if the winning bidder pays the winning bid price on the spot, the organizing committee will go through customs clearance, transportation procedures or sales and processing certificates for it free of charge; if the winning bidder does not pay the winning bid price on the spot, only sign the "winning contract" with the organizing committee There is no need to pay any deposit, but the winning bidder must remit the winning bid money to the Myanmar bank account designated by the organizing committee within 3 months, and the organizing committee has the full authority to handle customs clearance, transportation and other matters free of charge. ”
"Can't you carry it with you? I think some people just buy a little bit, do they have to trouble the organizing committee to transport it, then it's not troublesome?"
"Of course, the winning bidder can also separately fund a professional freight company to transport or take it away, it depends on your voluntariness, as long as you have the certificate issued by the organizing committee, you can clear the customs smoothly, after all, this jade public market is sponsored by the Myanmar government, but it is not a company, and the customs will not take the risk to stop you. ”
"That's pretty much it. Zhang Tianyuan felt that if he got a large amount of jadeite wool, he still contacted a reliable domestic transportation company, or simply used his own transportation team, his own HRE Group has a transportation team, responsible for transporting jadeite, jade, and folk goods all year round.
"Then if I come to participate next time, will I give a discount? For example, can the invitation letter or something be simplified?" Zhang Tianyuan asked again. It must be no problem to ask Liu Shengping this question, because Liu Shengping has come here many times to participate in the Jade Public Market, if even he doesn't know the situation, then it is estimated that no one will know.
"Of course, the organizing committee will set up a special file for the wool merchants who won the bid, and go through the admission procedures for them to participate in the public market again, and treat them preferentially, although there is no so-called VIP statement, but in fact, you will receive a lot of preferential treatment in the process, and even government officials will give you the green light for many things. Even if it's against the rules. That's all right, and that's the benefit. Liu replied.
"That's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, but I think I've heard some people say it, for many reasons. Some wool traders prefer to pay fines. I don't want to go to Myanmar to get my own target. Is there such a thing?" Zhang Tianyuan saw that the car had not yet arrived at the venue, so he took the opportunity to ask another question.
"Of course, there must be such a situation. However, if the wool merchant wins the bid, the punishment is quite severe, the organizing committee will give an indefinite (Myanmar) or 10 years (foreign nationality) to disqualify him from participating in the public market, and the foreign businessman will be limited to five years of entry qualifications. Liu Shengping said sternly: "If you win the bid, it's better not to escape the bid, anyway, there is no benefit." ”
"It's not so strict, uncle, I have friends who have escaped the bid many times, and they still come to Myanmar to play every year in the Jade Gongpan?" Zhang Tianyuan said that the friend was actually Muyi, the kid told him about it, although he didn't know the reason, but Zhang Tianyuan felt that the rules really had to be set for most people, and there were always a small number of people who could be their own extralegal fanatics.
"Don't think about that kind of thing, although what you say is also true, but it's like stealing without being discovered, if you have any luck, then you are the one who suffers. Besides, we are not the kind of people who evade bids, and there is no benefit to the company's reputation. Weng Hong criticized Zhang Tianyuan very harshly.
"Hehe, knowing my aunt, I won't do that, just ask, ask, hehe. Zhang Tianyuan scratched his head and said.
"A couple of bosses, the place arrived. Zhang Tianyuan originally wanted to ask more things, he originally thought that he already knew a lot about the jade market, but in fact, after coming here, he found that in fact, his eyes were still black, and he didn't understand anything.
"Get out of the car, Tianyuan. ”
"No, this place is not wrong, right? Why do I look like a prison, so many soldiers?" Zhang Tianyuan took a look around, this place really feels a bit like a prison, Myanmar has not invited any decent designers, this architectural style is really awkward, plus those soldiers standing outside, he feels that this place is really like a prison.
"What nonsense, this is this place, the Gem and Jade Pavilion that was just built and the jade fair held in Naypyidaw were all held here, you see, there are many people who participated in the jewelry and other gem fairs a few days ago, and it is lively. After Liu Shengping got out of the car, he shook his head with a smile and said.
Zhang Tianyuan got out of the car, and couldn't help but look around, good guy, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a prison farming, but it's just a jade public plate, why is there a tank at the door, I'll go, is it possible that the armed separatist forces in Myanmar are so bullish?
"It's not as exaggerated as you think, the main reason for those soldiers is to prevent someone from climbing over the wall or blending in with the crowd, it has nothing to do with us, let's hurry up and get an admission pass, with that, we can enter this public venue smoothly." Liu Shengping saw that Zhang Tianyuan was talking to himself there, and he knew what Zhang Tianyuan was thinking, and hurriedly explained.
"What? admission pass, why haven't I heard of what kind of admission pass I have to do, isn't there an invitation letter, what is the admission pass, I don't know him, he probably doesn't know me, right?" Zhang Tianyuan was really puzzled, they all said that there are many Chinese documents, how did he come to Myanmar, and there are so many broken documents, what are they for.
"There is no way, because many people can't pay for jade, and as a result, there have been a lot of troubles in the Myanmar jade market, so the Myanmar government has implemented a deposit system since October 2009, that is, every jade merchant who goes to the Myanmar public market to bid must first pay a deposit of 10,000 euros before applying for an admission pass.
