Chapter 298: Jade Plate
"Hello, my name is Hou Jie."
Hou Zhengdong shook hands with Tang Genshui, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "This time I came to Myanmar to follow the elders to see the world, and I heard that the gambling stones in Myanmar are very exciting and can make people crazy." ”
"By the way, Brother Tang, are you here to travel to Myanmar?"
Tang Genshui smiled and nodded, put the cigarette into his mouth and took a puff, "Yes, I am here to travel, I heard a French friend of mine say that Myanmar not only has beautiful scenery, but also beautiful jadeite that is famous all over the world, so I came to participate in the jade public market organized by the Myanmar government." ”
"Oh, Brother Tang, you are also here to participate in the Jade Fair?"
Hou Zhengdong grinned, Tang Genshui's fingers were slender, and he really gave birth to a pair of hands playing with antique jade, "Jade is very popular in Western society, but it is relatively rare in China, and it has only begun to become popular in the upper circles in recent years, so the reputation of this gambling stone has spread to China." ”
"I'm just here to see the fun."
Tang Genshui smiled and spit out a smoke ring very chicly, "I am very curious, and I don't like to be restrained, so I spend most of my time in different places throughout the year. ”
"However, I didn't see the madness of the gambling scene, but I got into a fight with a bunch of damn Frenchmen in the bar, and by the way, I haven't thanked you for your help."
"No thanks, everyone is Chinese, and naturally we have to help each other in this foreign country."
Hou Zhengdong smiled, Tang Genshui was about to speak, but his mobile phone rang, he quickly took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and nodded apologetically to Hou Zhengdong, "Hou Jie, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with, I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”
"Goodbye."
Hou Zhengdong waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the hotel, it's time to go back to the room and practice his spiritual power again, tomorrow is the time for the third eye to shine.
After a night of practice, Hou Zhengdong got up in good spirits, and after washing, he woke up Mengzi and went to the restaurant to have breakfast together, Mengzi only came back in the early morning, he told Hou Zhengdong, Brother Kun is not coming back, and he will go straight to the venue tomorrow.
After eating breakfast, Hou Zhengdong returned to the room and simply packed his luggage, and then took the fierce son down to the lobby of the hotel, Zhao Qiu was already waiting in the lobby, the organizer of the gambling stone conference will provide special car pick-up and drop-off for guests with invitations according to the information, after all, these people are gods with a lot of money, so they naturally have to take care of them well.
There are a lot of people with Zhao Qiu, and Lao Lu also specially invited a gambling stone master from Lingnan Province to help gamble stones, this time he wanted to get a few pieces of good jade material to go back and occupy the jade market in the entire Jiangnan Province.
Hou Zhengdong and his entourage walked out of the lobby of the hotel, only to find that the open space in front of the hotel was already crowded with people, most of them spoke Chinese, and it seemed that the Chinese who came to participate in the Jade Public Market were living in this hotel.
"How can there be so many people, and they are all Chinese."
Hou Zhengdong sighed, "Our domestic jadeite market shouldn't be big, right?" ”
"Silly boy, there are not too many people from China, most of them are Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese." Zhao Qiu shook his head, "They are all the owners of jewelry companies, and each company will invite experienced gambling stone masters to help gamble stones, which is why there are so many people." ”
"Moreover, this is only one of the hotels designated by the organizing committee."
As he spoke, the first bus of the organizing committee arrived.
The bus is a bit shabby, but at the moment, everyone is in a hurry to get to the venue, so naturally they don't care about this, and they just want to rush to the venue before others.
After all, this is Myanmar, and there is only jade produced here in the world, and everyone comes here to make money, to gamble on stones, not to enjoy.
At the door of the bus, there are two young soldiers with guns in the Burmese government army, and there is also an organizing committee person who is responsible for checking the invitation letters of the guests on the bus.
Of course, if you don't have an invitation letter, you can't enter the gambling stone venue, you need to have a local jewelry merchant who is quite reputable, or a Myanmar jewelry company to come forward to guarantee and pay a certain amount of deposit to the organizing committee, you can also enter the gambling stone site.
"Boss, why is it called Jade Gongpan?"
Hou Zhengdong sat beside Zhao Qiu, looking at the tall trees on both sides of the street, and suddenly remembered a question, "Isn't it just gambling stones, how can it be called Jade Gongpan?" ”
"Public offering means that the seller puts the items to be traded on the market, publicly displays them, and allows the industry authority or government-recognized organizations to identify the quality of the goods, draw up a recognized minimum transaction price in the market, and then compete on the basis of the price by interested buyers."
"The so-called jadeite public market is to give a minimum price according to the value of the wool that may contain jadeite, and then the buyer will bid, and whoever pays more for the wool will be ......"
Zhao Qiu introduced the situation of the jade public market to Hou Zhengdong in detail.
"Oh, isn't that just like our domestic bidding?"
Hou Zhengdong nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Qiu, "Boss, as far as I know, Myanmar is a federal country, and there are dozens of warlords large and small, if they don't support this jade public market, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it." ”
"Of course, however, Myanmar is rich in jadeite, but not every place in the country can dig up the kind of wool containing jadeite, and the Myanmar government will come forward to engage in such a public market, which will naturally not lack the benefits of the warlords."
Zhao Qiu lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said in a low voice, "However, there are also some warlords who don't look down on these small amounts of money and smuggle wool out in private, and a lot of wool in our country is how they get it." ”
"According to Myanmar's "Jewelry Law", all jadeite and jade wool mined from various mining areas must be concentrated in Yangon for classification, grading, numbering, and reserve price, and jewelry merchants from all over the world are invited to Yangon to evaluate and bid for these wool materials every year on a regular or irregular basis."
"After decades of development, Myanmar's jadeite public market is already very formal, and the transaction is divided into two ways: open and dark."
"The clear bid is naturally the live auction, all the guests who participate in the public auction are concentrated in the trading hall, and each time the number of a piece of wool is announced, the bidding is carried out on the spot, and each person shouts out the appropriate price according to their own needs and strength, and the highest price wins."
"The hidden bid is that the businessmen fill in their own numbers, names, favorite wool numbers and bids on the bidding form, and then put the bidding list into the corresponding bid box, and everyone does not know the price between each other, so it is called the hidden bid."
"Isn't it, isn't it who has the most money, who has the final say?"
Hou Zhengdong was dumbfounded, Nima, it seems that the $300,000 or so he brought in it was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get a bubble.
"Yes, that's it."
Zhao Qiu smiled, "Of course, it also depends on everyone's ability, if you spend a sky-high price to buy a piece of scrap, the money will be wasted, the same way, if you are lucky, spend a few thousand yuan to buy a stone to play, if you cut out the jade with good water species, maybe a few million will be in hand." ”
His voice paused, "So, there is a saying in the gambling stone world, a knife is heaven, and a knife is hell." ”
"Boss, don't worry, my luck has always been good."
Hou Zhengdong took a moment, reached out and touched his forehead, with a faint smile on his face.
