Chapter 152: The Crazy Gambling Stone (2)
Zhong Qin's invitation, Zhao Lao Er immediately said: "Okay, good, I just want to see a good place in Tengchong, Miss Zhong has this idea, it's good, it's good!" ”
What a fart! Zhou Xuan smiled and scolded in his heart, but Zhao Lao Er is a few months older than himself, and he has no wife, so it is normal to think of spring, after all, which man in his twenty-six or seventeenth year does not think of spring? Besides, they are countrymen, and in the countryside, the sons of their age are generally in elementary school.
The carillon is also strange, and Zhou Xuanneng can talk well, as soon as Zhao Lao Er interjected, he immediately shut up and had nothing to say.
There is a clear water in the name of Qingshui Township, but there is no clear river, there is a river, the river water is a little black, it seems that any area with rapid economic development is inevitably polluted.
The first wool merchant that Zhongqin took them to was surnamed Zhou, named Zhou Bo, and Zhou Xuan was from the same family, but he was much older than Zhou Bo, and it seemed that he was at least forty years old.
Zhou Bo's house, Zhou Xuan looks very interesting, a tall wall, after entering the gate, there is a wide square, on the left is a three-story small house, the ground floor is Zhou Bo's office, the hall looks like a small company, there are a few desks, computers, and a few girls, not as formal as the company's dress, but they are all Zhou Bo's employees, and a few guests who seem to be gambling stones, are settling payments.
On the right side and front end of the square, is a row of one-story factories covering an area of thousands of square meters, on one side of the square, there are six or seven elongated container trucks, on the other side, there are more than ten cars of all kinds, all of which are famous brand cars, compared to these cars, Zhou Xuan's two Audis are the most inconspicuous cars.
Fujimoto Tsuyoshi, Ito Shinji and a female tour guide, the three of them got out of a taxi and followed Zhou Xuan and his party, and a clerk in Zhou Bo's office took them to the factory.
Zhou Xuan knew that the carillon's uncle was also in the wool business, but the carillon didn't take them to her uncle first, this girl really knows how to do things, in fact, Zhou Xuan doesn't care, anyway, it's all business, she buys her uncle's, or someone else's, it's all the same, anyway, she relies on ice gas detection, and she will buy the wool with jade in the stone, and there is no difference between who and whom.
After entering Zhou Bo's workshop, the workshop was full of stone dissolving machines, and there were twenty or thirty workers in the spacious workshop.
This is the relatively small wool merchant that the carillon said? The stone wool piled up in the factory is more than the wool that Zhou Xuan saw in Shenzhen and Yangzhou Lingzhuang, and it is really a distribution center for jade wool, and it is worthy of its name.
However, Zhou Xuan is strange, why are there only workers wearing the same work clothes in the factory, but there are no guests, looking at the cars in the square outside, there should be a lot of guests, right? Where have the guests gone?
Zhao Lao Er looked at the stones full of factories and muttered, "These stones can also be sold for money?" How much do we want in our hometown......"
Zhou Xuan was about to ask if he was going to pick the stones in the factory, when the female clerk walked to the front again, and said as she walked, "Please come with me." ”
Where else is this?
Zhou Xuan was a little strange, but he still didn't make a sound, just followed her, but the carillon didn't have a strange expression, and naturally followed.
The female clerk walked to the other side of the factory, reached out and pushed open a door, turned back and said, "Please!" ”
Zhou Xuan was very surprised at this time, he came to the factory and wanted to go out, so what was he going to do?
It's just that this surprise disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the factory door, and of course, another surprise followed.
Behind the factory building is a larger yard of thousands of square meters, except for a long car passage, both sides of the passage are full of piles of stones!
Zhou Xuan stayed for a long time, this is the so-called Tengchong relatively small wool wholesaler of Zhongqin? What about the big and the bigger?
There are many people in the field, all of whom are selecting stones for themselves, but they are not like Zhou Xuan has seen before, buying them piece by piece, but by fingering with one hand, one by one.
The clerk and Zhongqin first went over to talk to Zhou Bo, the owner of the stone factory, and then Zhou Bo came over with a smile, shook hands with Zhou Xuan, and said, "Boss Zhou, hello, I heard Xiao Zhong say, are you from Beijing?" ”
"Hehe, yes, Boss Zhou, you're not small!" Zhou Xuan shook hands with him and praised him, which was really praised, comparing the gambling stone scenes seen in Shenzhen and Yangzhou with here, it was really like a big supermarket in a big city and a small store in the countryside, it couldn't be compared.
Zhou Bo blushed and said: "Boss Zhou is smiling, smiling, small business, just a small knock!" ”
In the Tengchong area, Zhou Bo's business is indeed a small knock, just listened to the introduction of the carillon, Zhou Xuan is a businessman from Beijing, in Tengchong, there are still merchants in Beijing, but Zhou Bo has not received it, they all went to the big market in Tengyue, and traded with the wholesalers in Tengyue.
Zhou Bo is generally a second-tier city merchant in the mainland, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places merchants do not come to him, it is indeed a little despised for his scale, Zhou Xuan is the first.
So Zhou Bo greeted Zhou Xuan with some enthusiasm, glanced at Zhou Xuan's body, and saw that there were ** people who followed, and thought to himself that this pomp was very big, I don't know if it was a real big businessman, and the guests who gambled on the stone here did not exceed five million or more transactions, and after doing so many years, Zhou Bo's net worth was only forty or fifty million, which was still his own betting, basically he imported back the wool from Myanmar, put it back to his own place and then changed hands, and earned the difference from the middle, he was very clear about the danger of gambling stones, If you can't help but stretch out your hand, then I'm afraid that the family business I have saved for so many years will not be lost in half a year.
In the Zhou Bo field are some small jewelers in the surrounding cities, gambling stones, people who want to get rich overnight have hearts, but these small jewelers are all working hard with one hand and one foot, saving money, gambling and fighting for their lives or dare not, and although the stone wool from Zhou Bo gambled back 99.99% of the possibility of not rising, gambling can not be really high-quality jadeite, but the poor jadeite can still solve a lot, what they do is shoddy, processing and then selling at a high price, in the jadeite jade pieces, This profit is bottomless, usually the guests who come to buy do not understand this, and the price spent is not too big, hundreds to thousands, the highest is tens of thousands, although it is a low-end product, but the profit is very high, plus the sales volume is far greater than the high-end jade pieces, so Zhou Bo is not short of merchants, and small knocks can also make a lot of money.
Zhou Xuan really doesn't understand the wool market, Zhou Bo is testing whether his purchase volume is large, if the amount is large, he wants to pull this only big merchant for him, and he estimates in his heart that even if the price is lower.
In fact, a second-level middleman like Zhou Bo can't get the business of big quarrying miners and more famous old pit miners in Myanmar, and he also gets ore from some marginal areas of Myanmar's mineral sources, and the price, of course, is cheap.
This is the same as other industries, genuine goods have the price code of genuine goods, and inferior goods have the price code of inferior goods, each has its own way, and each does its own business.
But Zhou Xuan really doesn't care, he uses his ability to detect, what kind of mine, what kind of mine, what kind of mine, is the same for him, as long as there is jade in the stone, and there is no jade in the stone, then what's the use? To put it mildly, a pig pulled to the countryside, it is a pig, pulled to Beijing, it is still a pig, but the price will not be the same, this is a fact.
Zhou Xuan looked at the other merchants and chose to choose and test the color of some stones, these stones were gray and white, and they were indeed the worst wool from the outside.
Zhou Bo introduced: "Boss Zhou, hehe, your surname is Zhou, my surname is Zhou, everyone may have been a family five hundred years ago, and they can't write two Zhou characters at one time, this business, it doesn't matter if it is done or not, it is good to make friends once and twice again!" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "That's too, hehe, Boss Zhou, since you say so, then I must make a friend of yours, this is ...... here."
Saying that, Zhou Xuan pointed to the wool in the square and asked, "Boss Zhou, what is the price of your wool and how to sell it?" ”
As soon as Zhou Bo heard Zhou Xuan's tone, he didn't look like he knew how to play with stones, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, after all, a merchant who didn't know much, it was still unrealistic for you to ask him to spend a lot of money to gamble on stones at once.
But Zhou Bo still introduced the market, as for whether the negotiation will be less price, whether it will give benefits, it is still early, see the situation.
"The wool on this square is one of the ordinary wool I pulled back from Myanmar, the wool is in good color, there are green, I pick it out and put it in the factory on the other side, if Boss Zhou is interested, you can go over and have a look!"
Zhou Xuan understood as soon as he heard it, Zhou Bo here is the same as what he saw in Shenzhen and Yangzhou, there is no difference, but the field is much larger, the number of wool is much more, and Zhou Bo's approach is no different, it is still to pick out the green, good texture, obvious wool, in this way, the price will be much higher, the wool in this case is just a supporting role, but the real big head is in the factory, it is those green wool.
But Zhou Xuan likes it here, from his past experience, the more green, the more good the wool, but there is often no jadeite inside, in those gray-white, the worst wool stone, but it is cut out of the best jadeite, of course, the good color of the wool is not to say that the good jade can not be cut, but compared with the two, the cost is one in the sky, one in the ground, the legend of getting rich overnight is often produced in those inconspicuous inferior wool.
