Myanmar public market is the largest public market, the highest gold content, the highest turnover, the number of participants are also jade predators in various regions, the first two years because of some political and economic reasons, once suspended, prohibiting the export of rough stones. At that time, merchants of all sizes hoarded rough stones vigorously, waiting for the price of stones to rise. Now that Myanmar's public market is open again, these small and medium-sized businessmen who do not have very sufficient funds will naturally not be able to sit still.

In the past two years, although the jadeite has risen sharply, it is still worse than the increase in previous years, and even some low-grade jadeite has also seen a certain degree of price reduction, only high-grade jadeite is as strong as ever, and continues to rise steadily.

The price of jadeite rough is mainly determined by the price of raw materials, coupled with the manipulation of market predators, which is very unstable. However, once the Myanmar public market is opened again, a large number of rough stones will pour into the country, which will inevitably have a certain impact on the rough market, and it is imperative to reduce prices. It's just that the specific amount of rain will fall, this is beyond human control.

And these small and medium-sized businessmen are in a hurry to ship, because they are afraid that if it drops too much, the rough stones they have hoarded will not be sold. Therefore, they all want to fight for a part of the money before the big price reduction and return the funds. And these buyers are also waiting and watching, as long as they are not in a hurry to use it, they don't mind waiting a few more months, and it is not too late to see the situation clearly.

And Li Xiaojun wanted to get some stones at this time, but he mainly wanted to have fun. Now the materials taken out by these small and medium-sized businessmen will naturally not be high-end goods. But even so, the quality of it is generally better, after all, it is carefully selected by those people, otherwise there is value in hoarding?

Although Li Xiaojun's jewelry store is not small, it is one of the best in the island city, but the mainstream of the jade market is mainly low-end jewelry, such as those jewelry that often cost hundreds of thousands of millions, the number is relatively small, and it may not be able to sell one piece a year. And those low-end jewelry, although the unit price is not high, but the quantity is very amazing, plus it is processed by itself, the profit is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Xie Bin was naturally very moved by Li Xiaojun's proposal. But it's mainly two people who go to play together, and he feels like a light bulb by his side. However, Xie Bin still decided not to let go of this opportunity, the light bulb is the light bulb, this opportunity must not be missed.

In fact, Li Xiaojun also wanted to see Xie Bin's luck or eyesight, and he had always been obsessed with Xie Bin for picking a good stone from him. You know, after all the remaining stones are cut out, almost all of them are scraps, and occasionally one or two pieces are very small, and you can't make bracelets, you can only carve small ornaments or pendants.

Li Xiaojun heard that someone was in a hurry to ship, so he thought of Xie Bin. If Xie Bin's luck was still so good, he wouldn't mind taking it all. In these years, no matter how good the performance of the rough stone is, it is not as good as the cut material. Although the profit is lower, the risk is very small. It is said that in the jade industry, there is such a foreigner, who only buys clear materials, and by earning the difference, he has become a decisive predator, worth hundreds of millions, or in pounds.

However, in this year, as long as you cut out the jadeite, no matter whether it is high-grade or low-grade, there are always people rushing to ask for it, even those materials that seem to be almost scraps, and some people spend money to buy them. Although Li Xiaojun's family has money, it is too far from those predators, and he can't compete with others when he encounters good materials, and he can't buy a few yuan for ordinary materials, so Li Xiaojun thought of taking Xie Bin to test the water.

The so-called 'first to get the moon near the water', if Xie Bin can make good materials, Li Xiaojun can take the first step, so as to avoid other businessmen raising prices. Of course, to say that Li Xiaojun's method is a little bit uneasy, and he is suspected of using Xie Bin. But in the mall, what is this little trick? Besides, Li Xiaojun was just a little lucky, and he wasn't sure that Xie Bin would definitely cut out the jade.

Xie Bin naturally wouldn't know Li Xiaojun's careful thoughts now, but even if he knew, he wouldn't object. Because Xie Bin is now a rookie, and if he wants to enter the industry, he needs Li Xiaojun to take it. The relationship between people is such a wonderful thing, although each has its own thoughts, but it does not show it at all. After all, in life, you can't ask everyone to treat you wholeheartedly. can be good to you wholeheartedly, it is estimated that there is no one else except your parents and children.

What kind of person is Xie Bin? These years of hardship are not in vain, although I don't understand the small tricks in these industries for the time being, but I can guarantee that I will not suffer losses, besides, sometimes it is not a bad thing to suffer a small loss.

Li Xiaojun was to set off in three days and head to Pingzhou in Guangdong.

Xie Bin knows about Pingzhou, mainly because Pingzhou is one of the several major jade distribution centers in China. Pingzhou jade products mainly include jade bracelets, jade buckles, chicken hearts and hanging galls, its processing technology is exquisite, especially the jade buckle varieties, everything, so that "Pingzhou buckle" is famous, every year there are many Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan tourists often come to visit. Of course, Xie Bin didn't come for these finished products, he only had one purpose, to gamble on stones.

In the past, people in Pingzhou used to go to Yunnan, Guizhou or Myanmar to buy rough stones, and then come back to process them into finished products and sell them. However, with the rapid expansion of the jadeite market in recent years, the rough stone trade has slowly flourished, and Pingzhou alone has to hold many rough stone fairs every year, which is the so-called public market. Although the scale and quality of these public properties are much worse than those in Myanmar. However, even so, it still attracts countless jewelry merchants to Pingzhou in search of business opportunities.

In fact, Li Xiaojun took Xie Bin, that is, to open his eyes and play. Xie Bin's total worth is only 300,000, how many pieces of material can this money cost? One kilogram of material planted in the old pit is **hundreds or thousands of pieces, and tens of thousands of good performances are normal. It is very common for a good piece of material to shout tens of millions. And Xie Bin's capital can also pick up some bargains to see, besides, Xie Bin doesn't dare to throw the 300,000 into it all at once, in case it collapses, he is afraid that he will not even have the money to go home.

Therefore, Xie Bin decided when he promised Li Xiaojun that he would not make a move without 80% certainty. With the help of his ability, he can perceive the general texture inside the rough stone, but it is difficult to guarantee the color, if he spends a lot of money to buy a colorless material, where will Xie Bin cry?

For dinner, Xie Bin made a very simple meal, a scrambled egg with tomatoes and a spicy chicken. Xiangnan cuisine is a representative of Xiaoxiang flavor, referred to as "Hunan cuisine". Hunan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines, with a sour and spicy taste, and it tastes unique. Although Xie Bin has never made spicy chicken, there are recipes on the Internet, and the process is not difficult. The only trouble with this dish is the boning of the chicken thighs. But what does Xie Bin do, his hands are much more flexible than ordinary people, and he is very numb when he debones, and those who don't know think he is a veteran.

After this dish was ready, even Xie Bin himself felt a little greedy. In the past, he used to cook by himself, just ordinary home-cooked food, and rarely made these more troublesome dishes. This is the first time he has made a famous dish according to a recipe. It works well though.

A plate of spicy chicken is golden in color, the sauce is shiny, Xie Bin tasted a small piece, the taste is also very good, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, spicy, fragrant, salty and fresh. Xie Bin looked at this spicy chicken that looked very good, and he was quite satisfied, thinking that if it really didn't work, he could open a restaurant, this skill, it is more than enough to open a fast food restaurant.

When eating, Chen Minhan, who was smiling, was full of praise, and made an exception to eat half a bowl of rice.

Xie Bin looked at Chen Minhan, who was eating with relish, and asked, "How is your work today?" ”

Chen Minhan hesitated, but nodded, "It's okay, anyway, everyone is like this, the island city is still a little smaller, there is less work, and the price is not very high." ”

Xie Bin nodded, but sighed a little in his heart, the island city is indeed small, but according to Chen Minhan's conditions, if he dares to let it go, there is still a lot of money to take. Besides, Xie Bin feels that Chen Minhan's temperament is very good, much stronger than many pretentious so-called supermodels, if she can go through the relationship, maybe she can be popular.

"Hehe, then why don't you try it in a big city? These places in the capital and Zhonghai should be very profitable? Xie Bin asked with a smile.

"No, the bigger the city, the more fierce the competition, at least you won't be hungry here, but when you get to the first-tier cities, you can't get a job for a day, maybe you won't have anything to eat," Chen Minhan explained.

"Also, then why don't you try to change careers?"

"Change it to what? I entered modeling school since I was in junior high school, and for so many years, I didn't know anything but this line of work, how can I change it? Chen Minhan's voice was calm.

Xie Bin listened a little sad, I watched a news a few days ago, a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls wore bikinis on the stage catwalk, and these girls were all from professional modeling schools. Ordinary people are full of scenery when they see these models, but who knows the sadness behind them? When a small grade enters such a school, they have nothing to do except be a model, but as a result, except for a few people who can stand at the top of the pyramid, the rest can only barely make a living, and it is even more difficult to wait until the grade is older. With so many modeling schools and modeling agencies, what have they created? A large group of girls with no skills can only hope that they can become famous or find a good husband, otherwise they can only quit gloomily and waste more than ten years of youth in vain.

Although Xie Bin has the heart to help Chen Minhan, he himself is unable to protect himself, so he can only secretly sympathize with him in his heart. Besides, the two have only known each other for a few days, and their friendship has not reached that point, that is, Xie Bin is willing to help her, does she dare to accept it?

Three days later, Xie Bin took Li Xiaojun's car to Pingzhou together.

As one of the country's leading jade distribution centers, Pingzhou's economic environment is really undeniable, with a variety of large hotels and high-end restaurants abounding. After all, the people who can come to this place to do business are all rich people, and there are only about 300,000 like Xie Bin, which is estimated to be the lowest level of hawkers. Even Li Xiaojun can only be regarded as medium, and those high-end businessmen and speculators have hundreds of millions of dollars in funds.

Of course, now the trading of jadeite rough has been affected by some impact, and in the past few years, there have been more than ten large-scale trade fairs in Pingzhou alone every year, and there are countless small ones. However, since the suspension of exports from Myanmar, domestic businessmen of all sizes have been hoarding goods and waiting for the price of rough to rise.

But who knew that the low-end rough stones not only did not rise, but were driven by price reductions, and even the Pingzhou trade fair decreased a lot. Experts said that this is because the jadeite rose too much in the past few years, and the fire was too prosperous.

Of course, the credibility of the experts is not very guaranteed. Anyway, there are many experts at this time, who remembers who said what?

However, it is an indisputable fact that the trading volume of jadeite jewelry has declined. Li Xiaojun said to Xie Bin that the period around the Spring Festival is generally the peak season for jewelry, especially jade jewelry. However, after the Spring Festival last year, the shopping malls for jade jewelry were very deserted, and many small jewelry stores hoarded a large number of low-end jewelry, but they could not sell it at all. Fortunately, Li Xiaojun's jade jewelry is processed by himself, and the cost is relatively low, and he is not afraid of backlogs. Moreover, such a turmoil can just clean up those small and medium-sized jewelers who follow the trend in the market, and can also take advantage of this opportunity to occupy a part of the market share, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

In fact, it is not only the small and medium-sized jewelers who are more unlucky, but also the small and medium-sized merchants in the rough stone market. After all, the big businessmen who dare to play gambling stones have strong capital and are not afraid of hoarding, if it doesn't rise this year, I will sell it next year, and if it doesn't rise next year, I will wait until the year after tomorrow. Jadeite is getting less and less, and one day the price will rise.

Those small and medium-sized businessmen do not have such a thick capital, and often hoard a batch of goods to suppress most of the family property, once the market is sluggish, they will either not be able to hold on and go out of business, or they can only sell goods at a low price or even at a loss.

Now Li Xiaojun and Xie Bin are using this idea, taking advantage of the eagerness of those small and medium-sized businessmen to ship goods, to get some good materials.

Of course, most of these were analyzed by Li Xiaojun to Xie Bin, only a small part of them were figured out by Xie Bin himself, and some were seen from the Internet. It is said that the day before yesterday, Xie Bin also joined a jadeite rough exchange forum, where most of the gathered jadeite rough lovers, and some jewelry merchants displayed some goods there to do online sales.

Xie Bin is a rookie among rookies in the forum, mainly because he hasn't spoken yet, because he is afraid of revealing his rookie true colors when he opens his mouth. Well, on the post bar, rookies are not very popular, saying that when Xie Bin first entered, when those people negotiated the price in the post bar, they didn't directly say the number, but said something like the big three, the small three, the three, the four, the big four, the big four, and the senior, which confused Xie Bin. Later, I learned that these three and four refer to the digits, three is hundred, four is thousand, five is ten thousand, and large, medium and small refer to the three sets of numbers 123, 456, and 789 respectively. For example: Big Four, it is 9,000 yuan; The third primary and secondary school is 400 yuan.

From Island City to Pingzhou, the road is slow and leisurely, and there is no rush anyway. Of course, the main thing is that only Li Xiaojun drove alone. Xie Bin doesn't have a driver's license, and Li Xiaojun is reluctant to show his hard work, so every time he has a break, he stops to find a place to eat and rest.

It's just that Xie Bin is sandwiched by the side of these two, and he always feels a little uncomfortable, so except for being in the car, he doesn't stay with these two when he gets out of the car. Li Xiaojun is a knowledgeable person who travels south and north, he is cheerful and funny, and he has to take Zhang Lu to play everywhere, while Xie Bin stays alone in the room reading and surfing the Internet.

When passing by Nandu, the three of them stopped to have a good time for two days. Of course, most of the time, Xie Bin still acted alone, and it was really embarrassing to stay with that pair.

There are a lot of interesting places in Nandu, but Xie Bin mainly turned to a few antique gathering points. Several large antique markets in the southern capital, Chaotian Palace, Confucius Temple, and Qingliang Mountain are relatively large, and the rest are relatively small, and the reputation is average.

However, Xie Bin just looked, he didn't have such good eyesight and luck to pick up leaks from these people's hands. Not to mention, in these antique markets, I don't know how many times a day I have to be plowed. The antique market here is different from that in the island city.

The island city is a new city, there is only one antique street, and the scale is not very large, compared with the cultural ancient city like Nandu, it is too far behind. Whether it is the quantity and quality of antiques, or the number and quality of players, it is not comparable to the island city. The so-called heritage is this kind of cultural atmosphere that has accumulated little by little over time. As an ancient city, Nandu has an advantage that other cities cannot surpass in this regard. Even cities such as Chang'an, which has the largest number of antiques unearthed, no matter how many and good their antiques are, they can't compare to the profound cultural heritage of Nandu and the capital. Thousands of years of ups and downs have given the city an indescribable charm and temperament.

Although Xie Bin's eyesight is not very strong, after a few turns, he still thinks that Chaotian Palace is the best. It's not that there are really many objects in Chaotian Palace, but those objects that are open to the generation, the prices are relatively fair, the space for bargaining is relatively large, and the atmosphere is very good.

Speaking of which, now in the antique market, there are too few good things that are open to the generation, and even if there are, the price is not affordable for ordinary people. If you want to pick up the leak, the difficulty is similar to buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot, these years, can you still hear that someone has picked up a leak on the antique street? Anyway, Xie Bin has been mixing in the antique street of the island city for so many years, and he has never seen it once, and he has heard very little.

In these years, buyers are not as good as sellers, and there are objects that cannot be grasped, and it is better to spend a few dollars to do an appraisal than to sell the treasure as a scrap.

In fact, Xie Bin also wanted to try it with his ability to see if he could find some treasures. However, antiques, whether it is calligraphy, painting, books, ceramics, ancient jade bronzes, or Xie Bin's familiar bamboo and wood carvings, etc., do not have a certain standard, and the internal texture is also uneven, and the texture of some antiques is even less exquisite than modern imitations. Just like porcelain, if but in terms of craftsmanship, the porcelain of today is no worse than that of ancient times. Just like the texture of porcelain, ancient porcelain is not necessarily more delicate than modern porcelain.

Therefore, Xie Bin's idea of using his ability to find treasures in the antique market has just been strangled to death.

Of course, the reason why Xie Bin had this idea was also due to a breakthrough with his ability. I don't know when it started, maybe it was the sudden explosion of the ability that night, which made Xie Bin's ability improve by leaps and bounds. In the past, Xie Bin used his ability to detect wood, and it would be over in five or six minutes at most, but now, it is more than an hour, even if it is to detect stones, I am afraid it can support forty or fifty minutes, if you use it sparingly, it will not be a problem to pick dozens of stones every day.

It was precisely because of this that Xie Bin dared to follow Li Xiaojun to Pingzhou to play, otherwise he would be able to do something great with his ability in a few minutes. Xie Bin was able to pick a piece of oil green seed material from Li Xiaojun, it was pure luck, and he picked it casually. And Xie Bin never thinks that a person's good luck can last a lifetime.

By the time we arrived in Pingzhou, it had already been five days. Along the way, Xie Bin secretly made up his mind that if he could gamble this time, he would definitely learn a driver's license when he went back, and then buy a good car. In other words, when Xie Bin went online, he often looked at the world of car friends when he had nothing to do, and coveted the beautiful and powerful cars. Moreover, Xie Bin's favorite is pure off-road vehicles and SUVs. Not only is it very powerful, but it is also relatively comfortable, and more importantly, it looks very manly.
