Chapter 171 Yancheng Jade Trade Fair
At about nine o'clock, Xu Gang and the others woke up one by one, and after washing up, they waited to go to the scene of the gambling stone conference with Zhang Tianyuan.
Zhang Tianyuan had already been to that place yesterday, so he was very familiar with the road, because it was relatively close to the hotel where they lived, so he didn't even have to drive the car, and a group of people arrived on the road talking and laughing.
In fact, gambling on stones must be faster than working in Zhang Tianyuan's company, but the problem is that Zhang Tianyuan can't rely on this to make his friends rich, because gambling stones is risky, if he looks confident, then he must be suspected, maybe he will soon be put in a bag and sent to a certain research institute.
He didn't want to be a guinea pig, so he was very careful in many things, and the violet jade didn't cut it on the spot yesterday, he just didn't want to make a noise.
Even if he had to cut it on the spot, he would buy a few more pieces of wool without material, and in that case, others would be much less suspicious, and he might just think he was lucky.
In fact, whether it is Zhao Xin, Lu Xiao or Xu Xu, this time they came to the gambling stone conference purely to join in the fun, they have no intention of gambling on the stone, and the money they bring is only a few thousand yuan, and it is possible to buy some garbage wool, no more.
Xu Gang wanted to meet an old friend with Shi Lao Wang first, so he left one step ahead of them, and now Zhang Tianyuan's side, except for Li Xiao, are all old friends, and they are all laymen who basically don't know how to gamble on stones.
Although Liu Hao is in the jade business, he doesn't know anything about gambling stones, so don't think about counting on him.
The venue of this gambling stone conference is located in the sports center of Yancheng, which is very large. And there's also a canopy to block out the sun, so it's sure not to be too hot. Much more comfortable than staying outside.
"Yancheng Jade Trade Expo"!
This is the official name of the Gambling Stone Conference, in fact, this is more in line with the actual content. Because this conference not only has gambling stones, but also various jade and jade transactions, but they are just separated.
Although it is only the first grand event in Yancheng, because of the good publicity work, the conference has attracted much attention, and Yancheng is relatively economically developed in the annexed area of Xifeng, so it is more convenient to come here, as long as you go to Xifeng, do high-speed rail, cars, private cars, and even subways.
This time the fair not only gathered a large number of wool merchants. Some of them are from the southwestern border, some are big businessmen from Myanmar, and even have the background of the Myanmar government, and Boss Tong is one of many people.
There are also jade merchants from all over the country, who bring with them the best jade from their own jade production areas, as well as jade that sells very well.
In addition, there are many businessmen and tourists from Europe and the Americas, after all, such a conference can actually be regarded as a carnival in the jade world.
I've said it before. This time, there are two venues for the Gambling Stone Conference.
The first one is open to the public, and anyone can go and join in the fun, even if you don't buy anything, you can go in and visit. But you have to buy tickets, and a ticket costs a hundred yuan, which is really not expensive. What you can see here is definitely better than what you see in some so-called museums.
The second one is a more professional place. To come here, you have to be introduced. Or at least promise to buy more than 1 million goods to enter, that is, you have to pay a deposit before you go in, if you buy less than 1 million, then the deposit will be forfeited, make up 1 million.
It's very clear here, if you don't want to pay for it, go to the first venue.
Generally speaking, professional jade players will come to the second venue, but some people don't have that much money, so they have to be introduced.
Zhang Tianyuan went to the first venue yesterday, and he didn't go today, but directly led everyone to the front of the second venue.
It's a bit more deserted than the first site, but it's also very lively, and although all the firecracker confetti on the ground yesterday has been cleaned up, the big red lantern hanging at the entrance is still very eye-catching.
Outside, there are several vertical banners hanging from hot air balloons with words of welcome written on them.
Zhang Tianyuan and the others came late, but they didn't have to wait in line, because after all, the second field was not as crazy as the first, and the queue could form two long queues.
When I came here, there were only a few people in front of me.
"Sir, do you have an introducer?" The person waiting at the door asked politely.
"Nope!"
"Then please pay a deposit of one million each, and we will give you a receipt, and if you buy more than one million, the money will be returned to you." The man politely explained.
"My friends are here to play, plus I have a total of six million deposits, and I pay it alone, so is it okay for me to spend six million alone?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
"Of course, sir, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Alright then, swipe!"
The staff quickly collected a deposit of six million, and then gave Zhang Tianyuan a receipt, so that Zhang Tianyuan and they could go in, of course, they had to undergo a security check before entering, after all, the country has been unsafe recently. Terrorist incidents are frequent, and this is necessary for the safety of businessmen.
Several people were very cooperative and accepted the inspection, and finally entered the venue.
"Tianyuan, where did you get so much money, it will cost six million as soon as you make a move!" Xu Xu looked at Zhang Tianyuan with some surprise and asked.
"Oh, Sister Xu, you came late, you don't know what to do, Tianyuan, this kid has made it, and now he is a big boss worth hundreds of millions." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"Don't listen to Liu Hao's nonsense, I'm a big boss, I just made some money with the help of my friends. But Xu Xu, if you think that your current job is not good, you can also come to our company, you studied marketing in college, and our company is now short of such talents. Zhang Tianyuan began to win over people again.
He didn't do this simply to repay the favor, the key was that he really felt that his friends had the ability.
Especially Xu Xu, who has now been mixed into the position of the head of the marketing department, which is enough to show her ability. If you dig it up, you can use it directly.
The plans in Zhang Tianyuan's heart will definitely not work without talents in marketing and hype.
"Thank you for your kindness. But let me think again. Xu Xu didn't agree directly, but smiled.
In fact, she didn't care too much in her heart. thinks Liu Hao is bragging, if she knew Zhang Tianyuan's ambition and the scale of the company, she probably wouldn't have resigned, this is a very enterprising woman.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't say much, but in his heart, he planned to wait for the end of this gambling stone conference and take Xu Xu to their company to have a look, so that he was familiar with and capable talents. It's hard to find.
The people you look for from the talent market, people may be talented, but they may not be loyal to you, and if they are loyal to you, they may not be talented, but Xu Xu is different, Zhang Tianyuan understands this woman, on the one hand, he wants to help Xu Xu, although Xu Xu is currently the head of the marketing department of the company. But the income is not as high as imagined, only about 10,000 a month, and more importantly, it is still exhausting. Not even a holiday.
Because of this, Xu Xu talked about several boyfriends and blew it again, and their families were worried.
After all, Xu Xu is one year older than Zhang Tianyuan. This year is twenty-six, for a woman. How many twenty-six years old can there be, this toss a few times. It's estimated that it's thirty, and I can't afford it.
"Chrysanthemum Xin, Brother Nan, and Li Xiao, let's go and look around, you should all come to see the excitement, no better than Brother Xi, he is really here to gamble on stones, let's not disturb him." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"What about me?" Xu Xu asked.
"You just accompany Brother Xi, how lonely he is alone." Liu Hao laughed and was about to go elsewhere, and the rest of the people were also ghosts and spirits, and they followed along.
"You're all standing up for me!" Zhang Tianyuan shouted: "Since you came to play, then buy a few pieces of wool to play, and help me spend it at that time, otherwise I won't be able to spend six million, and those deposits will have to go to others." ”
Because here is to buy wool first and pay later, so you don't need to bring money with you, and you can be hungry if you pay it by Zhang Tianyuan at the most.
"By the way, if you don't understand, don't buy expensive, choose wool under 10,000 yuan, just play at the time, it doesn't matter if you lose." Zhang Tianyuan added.
Originally, Zhang Tianyuan thought that the wool in this venue was more than one million, but after coming in, he found that he had misunderstood, although the wool here is basically more expensive, and the lowest will not be less than a thousand, but it is not as outrageous as one million, and the one million mentioned refers to the total consumption amount, not the price of a piece of wool.
In this case, it is not bad to let your friends bump into luck, if you lose money, you will not be contaminated with the problem of gambling stones in the future, and if the gambling rises, it is also considered luck, but the probability is really low.
Let's take yesterday's Boss Tong's wool as an example, all of his wool are high-end wool, a real piece of wool is millions, but in fact, the probability of jadeite is pitifully low, if anyone gambles all his net worth, then it is estimated that he should commit suicide.
"Don't worry, Brother Xi, we'll try to spend your money, hehe." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"Forget it, you kid, don't spend my money if you're so rich. And I don't admit that I spent too much. Zhang Tianyuan scolded with a smile.
"Let's go, spend money!" Liu Hao smiled and led a few guys into the crowd.
Zhang Tianyuan was with Xu Xu, a little embarrassed, looked at the gambling stone stalls around him, and said without words: "Xu Xu, it's your first time coming to this kind of place, right?" ”
"Yes, I didn't have any interest in this kind of thing, and I didn't even know that there was such an expo in Ludao." Xu Xu nodded and said.
"Let's go, let's go around first, I'll be the east today, you can open your mouth if you like good jade, jade or wool, I'll buy it for you." Zhang Tianyuan said quite generously.
"That's embarrassing, I'm not your girlfriend."
"What's wrong with your girlfriend, aren't you and me buddies? It was, it is, and it will still be. When I was in college, if I didn't have you, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to graduate. Zhang Tianyuan patted Xu Xu on the shoulder, as if he was patting a man's shoulder, not polite at all.
Xu Xu also seemed to be let go, although he was a little disappointed with Zhang Tianyuan's words, but he was relieved when he thought about it.
If you want to say that she doesn't like Zhang Tianyuan, that's impossible, where is there a pure friendship between a woman and a man, but after going through so many things, she can also see it, she can't be a lover in this life, so it's a good idea to become a confidant.
Zhang Tianyuan walked in the sea of wool, he was really a little dazed, to be honest, it was the first time he came to such a large-scale wool trading market.
It's really a bit dazzling to see, there are people everywhere, and there are bargaining voices everywhere.
He found that most of the wool here were half-gambling wool, all of which were wool that had been opened or rubbed out of green skin, so that although the price of wool would be more expensive, it was more safe to buy.
There are not many wool materials for the whole bet, and basically no one cares.
Today's businessmen are shrewd, and instead of relying on luck, it is better to spend more money to make the odds of gambling rising.
Although the half-bet wool may also be lost, but after all, the probability is much higher than the full-bet wool, and many experts can more accurately judge whether there is something in it as long as they observe the cutting layer and cover of the half-bet wool, as well as the trend of green.
