Chapter 375: Chu Yao Comes to Burma
Please subscribe.,Thank you.——
"Okay, I'll study this picture in the next two days, but it looks like you're going to participate in the public market tomorrow, right?"
Yes, Han Chong estimated that he couldn't worry about this matter tomorrow.
The public market has begun, and I'm afraid I don't have much energy,
"Then I'm bothering you."
Tomorrow the Jade Fair will be officially opened, and after eating, Han Chong went back to his room to rest, but he didn't sleep calmly, and the scene of the Four Seasons Moonlight Cup gathering always appeared in his mind, and at this time, Chu Yao and his father Chu Zhongquan were on the plane to Myanmar.
"Father, this time, I will definitely help the company purchase some useful rough stones."
Chu Yao lived up to her expectations, after she took the position of supervisor in the logistics department, she was transferred to the purchasing department as a supervisor not long after, and a few months later, the manager of the purchasing department retired, and Chu Yao naturally sat on this purchasing manager.
In the logistics department, Duan Cang was promoted by him and became the logistics supervisor, and in the future, he will also run in the direction of the manager.
Chu Yao basically came out of the shadow of breaking up with Han Chong, and she knew that women couldn't rely on men, men were unreliable, and the only thing she could rely on was herself.
Under the cultivation of Chu Zhongquan, Chu Yao grew up very quickly, and this time, she also followed the company's bigwigs to Myanmar.
It is bound to make achievements in the public market.
As the director of the logistics department, she also has some insights on the research of jadeite rough and procurement.
…… Although he didn't sleep well yesterday, Han Chong still got up very early the next day, and after breakfast, Han Chong, Xu Guang, and Tu Yuwei followed Bi Jiahao and his group. Walking to the door of the hotel, the Myanmar organizers have a special car to pick up these wool traders from all over the world.
When the group came to the door of the hotel, it was already crowded, and it seemed that all the guests of the entire hotel were gathered here, Han Chong looked at it at a glance, and happened to see Qi Xingxing waving to him again.
"Han Chong."
"Mr. Qi."
Han Chong greeted him and smiled.
"Since we are all here together, let's go to the public market together today, right?"
"What about Brother He and Brother Jiang?"
"They went first." Lacquer Star said.
Han Chong also knew. These two people are always very busy, and eighty percent of them have met with an old friend in advance.
Han Chong said that he hadn't thought too much about it before, but as more and more information showed that this trip to Myanmar was not just for the public market, Han Chong had a guess whether it was He Zhiyuan's eldest brother who was ordered by He Shangxian to find the last Four Seasons Moonlight Cup.
It's just that he doesn't tell himself in order to keep the enemy from noticing him.
Lacquer stars, and lacquer stars. He is Brother Jiang's person, so, does he know it? Or, will he support his side then?
Qi Xingxing said and looked at Bi Jiahao on the side. "Mr. Bi. You don't want to come with us, do you? ”
"Something is there." Bi Jiahao said with a smile, "Anyway, everyone knows each other, and they can still take care of each other, so let's go to the public market together." ”
"Okay. Good! ”
After about 20 minutes, the organizing committee's bus finally drove over, but it was only this so-called special car. It was all old buses, and most of the glass on the windows was gone, not to mention the air conditioning, which made the faces of these billionaires on the scene not look very good.
Although the Myanmar side has a sense of service, the hardware facilities are really too poor.
However, the shape shì is stronger than people, this Myanmar jadeite public plate, but the time jadeite jewelry price vane, and the world is only Myanmar jadeite, if you don't get on the car, then others are not asking for it, this is not less of a price competition opponent.
There are a total of eight buses, at this time the door of the bus is full of people, although the heart is unhappy, but the car still has to get on, is it to come to Myanmar this place, or for tourism can not be?
When getting on the bus, there is a Burmese soldier with a weapon on his shoulder at the door of the car, and there are two people to check the invitation letter of the person on the bus, according to the regulations of the Myanmar Organizing Committee, if you want to participate in the Jade Public Plate, you must have an invitation letter, otherwise you can't even get on the car.
As mentioned earlier, the origin of the invitation letter is that the guests invited by the Myanmar government at all levels, the Myanmar jewelry associations at all levels, and the Myanmar jewelry trading company......
However, the latter two invitation methods must be submitted to the organizing committee for review and approval by the inviting party in the form of a guarantee.
Of course, if you don't have an invitation letter, you can't enter the public market, but you must be guaranteed by the Myanmar jewelry company and pay a deposit of 10 million kyats/person (almost equivalent to 1 million RMB) to the organizing committee, you can also enter the public market, and after the public market is over, the amount will be returned to the mortgagor.
Each invitation can bring four people in, Bi Jiahao got two station invitations, and the lacquer star has an invitation, which is issued by the Myanmar Jewelry Association, and these people are enough.
Behind these buses, there are also some vehicles parked, all of which are vehicles from the local Myanmar jade trading company, which have come to bring their customers into the market.
"Han Chong, Boss Bi, let's take this car......"
Qi Xingxing may have found a relationship, and a car will come to pick him up at this time, although the refrigeration effect of the air conditioning inside is very average, but compared to the bus with hot air on all sides, it is much better.
After the bus waited for everyone to get on the bus, it started, and did not go with the bus behind, the venue of the public market, located more than 50 kilometers away from Yangon City, and the hotel where Han Chong and others stayed was just the opposite, and it was necessary to pass through the downtown area of Yangon to arrive.
Yesterday, Han Chong and others went to the Shwedagon Pagoda, also on the edge of Yangon city, sitting on a minibus, this is the first time that Han Chong has observed the exotic scenery of Yangon so closely.
Yangon looks like a huge park, and inside the city, it is full of plants, flowers and pagodas. Monks with bare left shoulders and red robes walk barefoot down the street, each holding a brown-red oil-paper umbrella under their armpits, and occasionally folding together to greet the people on the street.
The buildings in Yangon City are clearly in the style of the colonial era, with dark red roofs that are typical of British architecture, Hindu temples inlaid with statues of various gods and goddesses covered with moss-covered roofs, the roofs of square boxes invented by modern civilization, stupas, churches, and pigeons playing in the sky.
All the cars driving on the street look like they have come out of a scrapyard, and most of them are rusty. Due to the blockade of the West, it has been difficult for Myanmar to import cars, many of which are from the Ne Win era, and classic cars, jeeps and vintage British-designed Indian-made buses abound.
In comparison, the taxi that Han Chong took when they came yesterday can be regarded as a new car.
In the city, there are many disheveled women on the streets, carrying baskets, and Bi Jiahao tells them that they are going to take a bath in the open-air bathroom.
And the lacquer star also said to Han Chong. There are women selling on the streets of Myanmar, and if the women of Myanmar see a Chinese, they must be very willing to follow you, and there is also a saying that Myanmar women are willing to marry Chinese.
After the car drove out of Yangon city. began to accelerate, but the car was also some years old, and the speed was not fast, according to the driver. It will take another hour to get to the Jade Gongpan.
"Brother Han, this is the place where jadeite is traded. Why is it called a public market? ”
Xu Guang was a little bored, chatting with Han Chong, Bi Jiahao and others in the car, and heard the word "Gongpan", but Xu Guang really didn't know the meaning of the public market.
"You kid, you don't even know this and come to gamble on the stone, this public market refers to the seller to be traded of the goods, in the market publicity, so that the industry or the market according to the quality of the goods, the lowest transaction price recognized in the market, and then by the buyer on the basis of the price. However, the locals refer to the Emerald Market as "MCC"
"Yes. The earliest time that Myanmar held the jade market was back in 1962, after the military took over the Myanmar regime, in order to plug the loss of tax revenues and make the scarce jade and jade resources generate more foreign exchange income for the country, the jade and jade wool market was held in March 1964. ”
Bi Jiahao added, "The valuation of the wool on the jadeite public plate is only the reserve price negotiated by the industry or the market, and there is no need for special appraisal of the item, because there are some hidden marks, there is no way to evaluate it, and the wool owner can only mark the price himself." In this regard, Myanmar's "Jewelry Law" stipulates that all jadeite and jade wool mined from the mining area must be concentrated in Yangon for classification, grading, numbering, and reserve price. ”
"What do you mean by a dark mark?"
"Merchants fill in the bidding form issued by the organizing committee to the bidder number, bidder's name, bidding wool number and bid price, it will be put into the wool number of the standard box, because the bidders do not know each other to bid for the bid and the bidding price, so it is called "dark bid", a piece of wool a standard box, so that it will be very convenient when opening the bid. ”
"Yes, when the bid is unveiled, the winning bidder and the bid price are publicly announced according to the wool number, in Myanmar, each public plate of jade and jade wool, the hidden wool should account for more than 4/5, which can be said to be the main way to sell wool.
"What about the mark?"
"The clear bid is the on-site auction, the wool traders are all concentrated in the trading hall, the public staff announces a wool number, and the bidders take turns bidding on the spot, who shows the highest bidding price, who will win the bid."
"By the way, Han Chong, if you win the bid, it is best to pay the formalities at that time, and the organizing committee will handle customs clearance, transportation procedures or sales and processing certificates for them free of charge on the spot, which can save a lot of ......"
Bi Jiahao introduced some of the public offering, especially explained the matters after the winning bidder, the winning bidder did not pay off the wool price on the spot, only signed the "winning contract" with the organizing committee, and did not need to pay any deposit, but the winning bidder must remit the winning bid money to the Myanmar bank account designated by the organizing committee within 3 months, and the organizing committee has full authority to handle customs clearance, transportation and other matters for it free of charge.
Of course, small pieces of wool can also be taken away, and the certificate issued by the organizing committee can be used for customs clearance.
The organizing committee has set up a special file for the wool merchants who have won the bid, and they will participate in the public market again and go through the admission procedures with preferential treatment, which is a bit like VIP treatment.
The organizing committee will give an indefinite period (Myanmar) or 10 years (foreign nationality) to cancel their qualification to participate in the public market, and foreign businessmen will limit their entry qualifications for five years.
Come to think of it, it's still quite strict, so if you generally win the bid, you must fulfill the bidding result.
After Bi Jiahao and Qi Xingxing informed Han Chong and Xu Guang of some things about the public market, how to operate the secret and clear signs, and some precautions, Xu Guang also knew the entire system of the public market.
And at this time, the car also slowly drove into the Myanmar National Jewelry and Jade Trading Center, the venue of the jade public market in Myanmar, Han Chong and others stepped out of the car, looking at this like a military camp more like a place to buy and sell jadeite.
Han Chong had entered many deterrent casinos before, but the armed forces there were nothing compared to the Myanmar public market.
At this time, at the entrance of the public plate, there are not only soldiers with loaded guns, but even an armored car parked, outside the wall built with a steel structure, a team of soldiers are patrolling, the center of the public plate is like an imperial city, like a bit of the feeling of the imperial forest army defending the capital.
And those soldiers, all with resolute eyes, as if they were watching the enemy, made people feel a sense of oppression.
"Let's go, there will be few people, let's hurry up and get an admission pass...... Bi Jiahao got out of the car and went straight to the window at the entrance of the public market, Han Chong was a little confused, didn't he have an invitation letter, why did he still have an admission pass?
The lacquer star will explain on the side,
"The invitation letter is that you can go in, but the admission pass is something else, it should be said that the deposit is more correct, that is, if you buy something that escapes the bid, the money will not be refunded, if you don't buy it, it will be refunded to your designated account......"
"Oh, I see, it seems that there is a lot of exquisiteness."
Han Chong thought about it, this operation is also right, otherwise if so many people evade the bid, the Burmese government will not lose money, and if you have this deposit, at least you will not lose all your money in a certain way. Han Chong learned about it, and this deposit cost 85,000 yuan, which is really a lot. (To be continued......)
