Chapter Seventy-Three: Yangon People's Convention Center
The Myanmar public market is divided into two parts, the first is the clear mark, which means that the clear material, gambling material or half gambling material is auctioned to merchants all over the world in the form of auction, and the highest price is obtained. The second is the hidden label, which means that the wool to be auctioned is displayed first, and then the merchants who like this piece of wool can fill in the price by themselves, and then put it into the standard box, and the higher price will be obtained when the box is opened.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yunsheng and his entourage had already arrived at Yangon International Airport.
"Let's go, Xiao Qi, the room has been booked." Zhou Yunsheng greeted Zhao Qi, and a group of more than 20 people got on the bus arranged by Zhou Yunsheng.
Although it is the border of Myanmar, from the time he got off the plane to the present, Zhao Qi still saw a lot of eastern faces. Probably seeing the doubts in Zhao Qi's eyes, Zhou Yunsheng explained.
"Xiao Qi, Myanmar's jade public market is divided into two types: domestic and international, and the domestic ones don't need to be said, they are all Burmese. But in the International Hall, it is basically the world of Chinese, and 75% of the businessmen in it are Chinese. More than half of the remaining 25 percent are yellow, and only a small fraction are Caucasian. ”
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"In Europe, jadeite is not popular, they only like to collect diamonds or gold, which is different from us Asians." Zhou Yunsheng's explanation reminded Zhao Qi of some foreign films, it seems that all the robberies in them are diamonds or gold, and the jade has really not been seen.
Zhou Yunsheng's hotel is a five-star hotel in Yangon. When checking in, Zhou Yunsheng said to Zhao Qi with some apologies: "Every year, the Jade Public Market is overcrowded, and only five rooms have been set this time, I'm afraid that the two of us will live together." ”
"It's okay, you can also learn more by Brother Zhou's side." Zhao Qi said indifferently.
……
Early the next morning, Zhao Qi and Zhou Yunsheng got up, today is the first day of the Jade Public, and they can't be late. Compared with other bodyguards, Zhao Qi's treatment is already good, after all, he is still a person and a bed.
Among the five rooms set by Zhou Yunsheng, Zhao Qi and Zhou Yunsheng lived in one, the gambling stone consultant in Zhou Yunsheng's company lived in one, and the remaining three rooms were lived by the sixteen bodyguards brought by Zhou Yunsheng this time.
Regarding the gambling stone consultant, Zhao Qi also asked Zhou Yunsheng carefully.
"As the name suggests, the gambling stone consultant is a person who is more proficient in gambling stones, and this kind of people may not necessarily have gambled on wool, but they have a strong assessment of the probability of gambling stone wool, and it can be said that they are senior theorists in the gambling stone industry."
A group of 19 people got on a bus specially sent by Yangon, Myanmar for the Jade Fair. There were a lot of people on the bus, and they were familiar with each other, Zhao Qi saw Zhou Yunsheng greeting a lot of people, and these people should be Chinese businessmen who came to participate in the public market, and they are all familiar with Zhou Yunsheng.
The location of the public market is the People's Convention Center in Yangon, Myanmar, which is basically the Great Hall of the People in China. Zhao Qi was also surprised when he heard this, it seems that the position of jade in the hearts of Burmese people is really not covered.
After driving for 30 minutes, the vehicle came to the People's Convention Center, the venue of the public market. At the entrance of the venue, there were many soldiers with guns, and the entire People's Conference Center was surrounded by a single fly.
"You guys are waiting here, and the market is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We'll be out after five o'clock. Zhou Yunsheng and the sixteen bodyguards behind him gave an order, and then walked to the staff with Zhao Qi and two gambling stone consultants.
Zhou Yunsheng first took out an invitation letter and handed it to the staff, who was surprised by Zhao Qi's surprise that the staff member, who looked like a Burmese, actually spoke authentic Mandarin.
"May I ask if the four of you need to enter?"
"Yes."
"Please pay the $200 entrance fee."
Zhou Yunsheng took out the two hundred dollars of admission fee that had been prepared from his body, and the staff immediately took out a sign and handed it to Zhou Yunsheng. And this sign has three Chinese fonts and some unintelligible Burmese characters on it.
"Let's go." After the sign was in hand, Zhou Yunsheng took the three of them into the People's Conference Center together.
The Yangon People's Convention Center is similar to some large auditoriums in China, and it is a conference center with a very large construction area, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters.
It's half past eight in the morning, and there will be half an hour before the jade fair will be held. At the entrance, many people entered the venue one after another. Zhao Qi estimated that although the area here is large, it is estimated that it will be overcrowded when the market opens at nine o'clock.
China is a major consumer of jadeite in Myanmar, according to statistics, in the past ten years, 80% of the jadeite mined in Myanmar has gone to the Chinese market. Therefore, the Myanmar side also attaches great importance to the Chinese market, for example, the staff during this public auction are all Burmese who are proficient in Chinese, and the unit of measurement of the jade auction is also RMB.
"This time, the public auction arrangement is the first two days of the open bid, the last four days are the dark bid, every day at 12 o'clock at noon and 4 o'clock in the afternoon is the time to open the auction, so we must hurry up in time."
If the illustration mark is the embodiment of financial resources, then the implicit mark is the embodiment of courage and vision.
As the time approached, the number of people in the venue gradually increased. Zhou Yunsheng also greeted the bosses with a smile on his face.
As soon as 9 a.m. arrived, the gates of the conference center were immediately closed, and the venue, which was no less than 10,000 people, fell silent.
"Welcome everyone to participate in the Myanmar jade market, the time of the public market is six days......" on the rostrum, first came up a Burmese with an extraordinary temperament in Burmese, Chinese, English, etc., and said some of the time arrangements and precautions of the conference, and then announced the official start of the market. Zhao Qi, who was fed up with long speeches, had to admire the directness of the Burmese.
Immediately afterwards, the first batch of 100 pieces of wool was carried by the staff to each booth in the middle of the exhibition. The size of this batch of wool is large, and the smallest one is about the size of a basketball, but the reserve price below is extremely low. Basically, it didn't exceed two million dollars. And on each piece of wool is a number with a different number combination.
