Chapter 284: Victory of the King Again
Tengchong's jadeite markets are scattered, but most of them are concentrated near the Dieshui River, which runs through the city. Tang Feng and his entourage drove four cars to a jade trading market on the North Third Ring Road to see if they could buy A jadeite from here.
At present, the main source of jadeite in the world is in Myanmar, but after hundreds of years of development, especially in the last 30 years, the demand for jadeite in China and Southeast Asian countries has increased significantly, resulting in a serious shortage of jadeite production in Myanmar.
Although Myanmar is the world's largest producer of gem-quality jadeite, the area that can produce jadeite is only distributed in an area about 250 kilometers long from north to south and about 80 kilometers wide from east to west in Kachin State in northern Myanmar. And there are not many rough stones that can really form gem-quality jadeite, so after so many years of mining, those old farms in Myanmar have basically entered the tailings stage.
Because of the serious shortage of production in jadeite producing areas, and the increasing demand in the jadeite market, it has led to a sharp increase in jadeite prices in the past 30 years. At the end of the eighties, a bracelet with green ice seeds could be bought for thousands of dollars, but now, a bracelet of the same grade does not have a seven-digit price, and you can't even think about it. A better ice is planted with green bracelets, and it can even be priced up to eight figures!
The skyrocketing price of jadeite has also led to all kinds of unbelievable counterfeiting, so even in Tengchong, a place close to Myanmar, there are a lot of B goods and C goods on the market, and the real A goods are getting fewer and fewer.
For Tang Feng, who majored in geological surveying, he naturally has an understanding of jadeite, a well-known gemstone. Tang Feng also knows that the most popular in the jadeite industry is called gambling stones, and the vast majority of A goods in the jadeite industry are obtained through gambling stones. However, Tang Feng had only heard of it, and had never seen a gambling stone.
But gambling jargon such as "one knife in heaven, one knife in hell". Tang Feng has also heard a lot, and from these jargon, you can know that this kind of behavior is an extremely thrilling gamble. Bo behavior.
For gambling stones, Tang Feng was not interested, this time Tang Feng came to Tengchong, just to spend money to buy some A goods back. Tang Feng doesn't mind spending money, but Tang Feng doesn't mind not being able to buy A goods.
Today seems to be a market day. Therefore, there are many people in the trading market. Tang Feng's group is dressed in a special way, except for Tang Feng, who is a Chinese face, the others are blonde and blue-eyed foreigners. And the most peculiar thing is that those blonde and blue-eyed foreigners still take this Chinese person as the leader, plus Han Sen and the six of them are dressed as bodyguards, so as soon as they approach the trading market, they attract the attention of many people.
Sophia held Tang Feng's arm, Sam was by Tang Feng's side, and Hansen and the six of them formed a vague defensive circle. This formation is indeed quite eye-catching. But Hansen, they had to do it for the safety of Tang Feng and Sam. However, he has experienced more of this kind of gaze these days, and Tang Feng is used to it.
This market is not small, there are a lot of people, there are all kinds of water and all kinds of finished jadeite in the container, most of them are bracelets, rings, pendants, but how many real A goods are there, but it's really hard to say.
As the saying goes, "men wear Bodhisattvas and women wear Buddhas". Therefore, Tang Feng planned to buy a Bodhisattva pendant and a ring for his father, and a Buddha pendant and a ring for his mother. Of course, this ring has to be the same as Dad's ring. Buy a Buddha pendant for the little sister Tang Yun, of course, if there is a bracelet of good quality, Tang Feng doesn't mind buying a bracelet for his mother and little sister.
Sophia is not interested in jadeite, which is jadeite, and Europeans and Americans generally like gemstones such as opal, diamond, and ruby sapphire. Most of them don't have much love for jadeite and Huaxia Hetian jade, so although Tang Feng also wanted to buy some jade jewelry for Sophia, Sophia refused.
After going around this trading market for most of the time, Tang Feng felt a little disappointed, in a huge trading market. There is no good jade jewelry that can make Tang Feng look at it.
It's not that all of them are B goods or C goods, there are still a lot of A goods in this market, but most of them are low-grade jadeite of the grade of bean seeds and horse tooth seeds, Tang Feng can't look at it at all, even if you can occasionally see a glutinous seed, the water head is not very good, so Tang Feng is very disappointed.
However, seeing that there is still nearly half of the market that has not been turned, Tang Feng plans to continue to turn. But he hadn't gone far when he heard a commotion ahead, and one of the voices seemed familiar.
In fact, when you come here, you have entered the rough stone trading area, although this market is a market dominated by the trading of finished jadeite, but there is also a rough stone trading area. After all, compared with the finished jadeite, the gambling stone in the rough stone trade is the most attractive.
The noise attracted Tang Feng's attention, and when he looked up, two familiar faces made Tang Feng laugh, "Damn, why did the two of them come here?" ”
In the rough stone trading area in front, who is quarreling with a stall owner who is not Wang Shengli who has been separated for more than ten days?
After breaking up at Changshui Airport in Chuncheng, Tang Feng never saw these two people again, who would have thought that after more than ten days, he would meet these two people again in this jade trading market. But it's no wonder that Wang Shengli opened a jewelry store in Tianqu City that sells all kinds of jade and gemstones, in addition to gemstones and Hetian jade, which is nephrite, jade jewelry is also the main product of Wang Shengli's jewelry store.
And Wang Shengli once said that Nanyun often comes here, and it is estimated that it has a great relationship with jadeite jewelry. But now is this guy's new wedding period, this guy doesn't even forget to make jade for his wedding trip, Tang Feng is also a little drunk when he thinks about it.
Wang Shengli and the stall owner quarreled very fiercely, and Wang Shengli and his daughter-in-law Meng Lan seemed to be very supportive of her husband and helped on the side, but the stall owner's house was a land-sitting household here, and beside the stall owner, there were several young men staring at Wang Shengli and his family.
Seeing that the quarrel continued, Wang Shengli and his family were at a loss, Tang Feng smiled bitterly and took two steps and came to Wang Shengli and his wife.
"I said Brother Wang and sister-in-law, what are you two doing? Why did you quarrel with other stall owners here? Aren't you two afraid of suffering? ”
Tang Feng's words immediately attracted the attention of both parties, Wang Shengli and Meng Lan turned their heads and found that it was Tang Feng, and a relieved look appeared on their faces. (To be continued......)
