Chapter 162: The Real Old Pit Jade Mine
In Lin Shitu's wool factory, Zhou Xuan is really eye-opening!
If Zhou Bo's factory is the largest Zhou Xuan has ever seen, then compared with Zhou Bo's, Lin Shitu's wool factory is like a stone processing site and a stone mining site on the mountain.
Lin Shitu's factory address is not in the town, but close to two kilometers away, the factory is also open, the area is at least three times larger than Zhou Bo's, and there are cameras everywhere in the fence and the factory, all of which are electronically monitored.
In addition to a large area of square wool, the number of high-quality wool in the factory is more than ten times more than Zhou Bo, more than a dozen large factories are connected together, two rows of shelves are full of green wool, a series of large factories, Fujimoto Gang and Ito Konji saw so many green attractive wool on the shelf, immediately felt itchy and uncomfortable, after seeing the piece of jade that Zhao Lao Er got in Zhou Bo, he called the sky-high price of more than 17 million, thinking about it is very excited, and Zhao Lao Er's jade has not yet bid to the end, Obviously, there is still room for growth!
Fujimoto just thought in his heart, Lin Shitu has a lot of wool here like sand, so if he chooses a piece, he can sell it for one or two million, but with so many wool, which ones are not? What's the trick here?
Fujimoto's brain is very slippery, as long as he thinks of which aspect is easy to make money, he will immediately turn all his thoughts to this, he has been a manager in the United States for several years, his knowledge and ability are not bad, and now his thoughts fall on the wool, and he immediately thinks about what instruments and tools he will have, whether he can see through the stones, or many veteran masters, how they can identify them, pay more attention to it, and try to roll the four million they deceive to 40 million, or 400 million, or even more!
Fujimoto is a gambler, as soon as he catches the opportunity to make a fortune, he immediately grasps it tightly, and he doesn't have to worry about any problems, because the business is legal.
There are more businessmen here in Lin Shitu, at least more than ten times more than the merchants in Zhou Bo, and in this long factory, there are people looking at the wool carefully.
Lin Shitu paid great attention to Zhou Xuan's group of people, and told the people under him that they must not be provoked, but they should not be very public, just pretend not to know.
Lin Shitu himself only politely greeted Zhou Xuan to the factory, this is his cleverness, people with a background like Zhou Xuan will not be flattered by people like him at all, so even if you want to have a relationship with him, your intentions can't be obvious, you have to be good to him inadvertently, so that Zhou Xuan will pay attention to him and have a good impression of him.
Zhou Xuan asked Zhao Lao Er and Zheng Bing to take a look at them at will, and he went to the shelf to look at the wool alone.
Zhou Xuan knew his peculiarity, although he couldn't see anything wrong with him from the outside, he still didn't want to use ice qi for people to stare at, so he had to take a look at the wool alone.
Fujimoto Tsuyoshi and the others are also enthusiastic to follow to see the wool, there are many good players in this factory, maybe you can learn a lot of experience from them.
Zhou Xuan transported the ice gas, measured from the front end, and then slowly walked to the other end, the ice gas probed everywhere, the virtual and real wool was nowhere to hide, and he walked over slowly, and explored all the wool of more than a dozen factories.
After the ice gas was detected, Zhou Xuan was really a little surprised!
Lin Shitu has a lot of wool here, and the number of jadeite wool is far more than the few he has seen before, including Zhou Bo's one.
Among the wool here, there are two pieces of jadeite like glass, but one is only the size of a fist, and the other is the size of a big bowl, and its Russian ice, water, and violet jadeite are as many as thirty or forty pieces, and Zhou Xuan also measured four pieces of red jadeite, which should be red jade, although he doesn't know what the value is, but it is the first time he has seen jadeite of other colors!
The best and largest piece of wool of the glass ground water jadeite, in fact, the green is not very good, and the wool skin is like a wool stained with green on the stone and draws a stroke.
In addition, the small piece of jadeite wool is much smaller in appearance, the jadeite inside is only the size of a fist, and the stone of the shell is also very thin, which leads to the shape of this piece of wool is only a little larger than a fist, and the skin of the stone layer of wool is only more than one centimeter thick, and the thickest place is only about two points.
But the green of this piece of wool is very good, there is a comfortable treasure green, but because it is too small, it has not attracted the attention of many people, Zhou Xuan took this piece of wool first, walked to Lin Shitu's side, smiled and raised the stone in his hand, and said: "Boss Lin, after looking at it for a long time, let's buy a small stone to try your luck first!" ”
Lin Shitu waved to the female worker beside him, and the female worker immediately stepped forward to look at the lower end of the wool in Zhou Xuan's hand, Zhou Xuan didn't pay attention, because he saw that the wool was detected with ice gas, and he didn't pay attention to what was outside the surface.
The female worker turned on the laptop computer on a table next to her, entered the number, and then said to Lin Shitu: "Mr. Lin, the starting price of this No. 48 material is 480,000!" ”
Zhou Xuan was stunned, could it be that the number is the price? Then why don't you find a number one? But I know that it's not, it's just a coincidence.
However, the green of this wool material is really good, there is a kind of ruby green green, very comfortable, but the block is too small, of course, that is, the block is small, so it is the price of 480,000 yuan, if the block is larger, the price is doubled.
Like at present, in the international market, the amount of green emerald bracelets, the price has been as high as more than 10 million yuan, even if the color is slightly inferior to the Burmese jade jewelry, as long as it is a genuine product, water head and foot, exquisite craftsmanship, color is more coordinated, the price is not low.
In fact, Zhou Xuan doesn't understand this business, and he doesn't understand the situation in Myanmar, in fact, a small wool merchant like Zhou Bo, his wool source is not the old pit jade mine in Myanmar at all, but just some small jade mountain mines.
And Lin Shitu and Jin Fatzi's goods are the real Laokeng jade mines in Myitkyina, Myanmar.
In Burma, the government liberalized restrictions on jade mining two decades ago, allowing private owners to bid for "changkou," or the mountain where jade is produced. The size of the "Yard Gate" is determined by the size of the bid. After winning the bid, the boss can hire a machine to dig up the mountain. But the excavated jade is first handed over to the government and then transported to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, where it is auctioned at a "public auction" organized by the government. It is more than 1,000 kilometers from the "Changkou" on the Phakan Hills to Yangon, and it is necessary to use human backs, elephant packs, cars to pull and train along the way. Despite this, there are still some "stones" that have been quietly left behind and transported through the mountains to Tengchong and Ruili in Thailand or China.
Because, although the workers who mined the jade were Burmese, the winning bidders were almost all Burmese Chinese. And the owners of the jade business are almost all Chinese, because only the Chinese in the world have the most affection for jadeite, and those who buy jadeite and do the jadeite business are also Chinese.
Don't look at the price of wool and polished jadeite, but the price in Myanmar is not too high, but in Myanmar, it is already extremely high, Myanmar's national strength is relatively weak, most of the ordinary people's living standards are very poor, and a large part of the poor go to the mine to work as mining workers, because the income of miners in Myanmar is still a high-income job.
Of course, if the income is higher, there is naturally a reason for it to be higher.
The natural conditions at the mouth of the mining site in Myanmar are extremely difficult, the mountains with jade mines are primeval forests, Myanmar is a place that does not divide the four seasons, every year from May into the rainy season, until it has to fall to ten minutes, the rain passes through the rotten leaves deposited on the mountain, the water flowing down is black, there is a mosquito in this water, it is easy to get malaria after biting people, a large part of the mining workers die every year, and the cause of death of the vast majority of people is to die of this malaria, Therefore, the work at the mouth of the mining site is also called death work.
Before Zhou Xuan came here, he had always thought that if it was possible, he would also want to go to Myanmar and deal with the jade mine owner in person, but he didn't understand the management of Myanmar.
In fact, it is in vain to go to the jade mine, the goods mined by the Myanmar government must be auctioned publicly, and the jade ore stolen in private can only be through private channels, if caught, the punishment is also very proven, of course, the government officials in charge of this aspect also have the same private fraud.
Zhou Xuan held the piece of wool in his hand, looked at it and smiled, and said, "Forty-eighty-eight thousand is forty-eight hundred thousand, has anyone increased the price?" ”
The present were all jewelers from all over the country, some of whom were buyers of well-known brand stores, including merchants from Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad, many of whom were regular customers who had come to Tengchong for many years.
Experienced people are also a lot, for Zhou Xuan's hand this piece of wool, green is very good, but the size is too small, it is easy to cut empty, 480,000 is indeed very dangerous, after all, it is such a small volume, it is difficult to cut out the jade, even if there is, the size is also small, with old experience, people are not willing to bet on such a stone.
As soon as Zhou Xuan made a move, Fujimoto Gang and Ito Jinji came around, they wanted to see if Zhou Xuan had any luck, they themselves were still because of their lack of experience, although they wanted to gamble, but after all, they only had four million on hand, and these wool materials were tens of millions as soon as they shot, and they didn't dare to open their mouths easily, let's take a look first.
Zhou Xuan first picked this small shot, just to use the luck of picking one in one to lure Fujimoto Gang, and then let them go down step by step along the trap he had set.
Zhou Xuan's first-hand bet was also that other merchants disliked the small size of this piece of wool and were unwilling to make a move, sure enough, after saying the price, the merchants who gathered around shook their heads slightly, not that there was no money, but they didn't want to throw money, and they wouldn't shoot if they didn't think it was worth it.
