Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Stone Is So Good, The Price Is So Expensive
In the evening, Gao Xiaoya, President Qin and Director Zhou arrived at the hotel where they stayed, Qi Zhiqiang and Liu Rong were picked up by Li Wuyang from the airport, Boss Qiu, Boss Ji, and the boss just talked on the phone, and they went directly to Pingzhou.
When Chairman Qin saw Wuyang and Qin Xiaoying, he smiled and said, "Children, you have to pay attention to your body. Wuyang, you have to take care of Xiaoying more. β
Wuyang smiled and said, "Grandpa, this time I am here to be a nanny for them, and I am in charge of all the things of daily life, including you and Director Zhou." β
Director Zhou said: "We are not old enough to take care of us, you can pick a few good stones for us." β
Gao Xiaoya just smiled shyly in front of everyone, neither hugging or shaking hands with Wuyang, but holding hands with Xiaoying.
After a few people rested for a while, Qi Zhiqiang said: "Brother, should we go to Pingzhou now, stay there at night, and go to the ghost market tomorrow morning." β
Wuyang didn't know what kind of ghost market he was talking about, and was about to ask clearly, when President Qin spoke: "Wuyang, I said that this young man's proposal is very good, and if you go now, you don't have to rush tomorrow, and we will discuss it if you see the ghost market." β
Qin Xiaoying said: "Grandpa, everyone here has opened the hotel, isn't it a waste if you don't live?" Speaking of whether there is a hotel room over there, it's hard to say. β
Chairman Qin smiled and said, "You kid, how much money do you have to open a hotel?" If you don't live at night, you may save it for others. Now Pingzhou is not a jade trade fair, and there are not so many people staying in hotels. β
Wuyang asked Qin Xiaoying to inform everyone to leave, and went to the service desk to check out by himself, and a large group of people set off quickly. Before you go. Wuyang asked Qi Zhiqiang what hotel was the best in Pingzhou. Qi Zhiqiang said that it was Pingzhou Hotel. Wuyang asked Liu Bingqiu to inform the truck driver of the location.
Arrived at Pingzhou Hotel. Wuyang counted the number of people, and then he booked a floor and paid a deposit by card. And negotiate with the service desk, all the guests on their own floor, what services they need, such as meals, laundry, supper, etc., are recorded in the account and paid together.
to the room. Qi Zhiqiang came again to discuss the matter of gambling stones tomorrow. Wuyang asked, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" β
Qi Zhiqiang said: "I came here last summer when the jade trade conference was held. There is a jade street here, and the shops on the street sell jade products in front of them, and there are also some wool materials. As long as there is wool on the faΓ§ade, it means that this family can gamble on stones. Each of them also has a wool warehouse, and as long as it is a large jade merchant, they will let them into the warehouse. Tomorrow we will first find a relatively large merchant and buy a few pieces of wool. Then cut it out so that our fame will be great. They will let us in. β
Wuyang listened to it, and knew that it was similar to Yangmei here, but it was different from Tengyue. There is also the issue of not allowing entry. "Isn't that a matter of no bidding?" Wuyang asked.
"I don't know if there is a bidding now, but when the jade trading conference is held, it is basically a bidding." Qi Zhiqiang said.
"Big brother, I think tomorrow will be like this, because there are more people who come together, everyone wants to buy a good jadeite, you have to take turns to follow me, such as you and sister, I first hint at which one you buy, you buy it and cut the stone, cut out the jade and sell it on the spot, and then my sister will go with me, my sister will buy it and go to cut the stone, and then the third person will follow me, so that at the end of the day, each of you can buy several pieces of wool, when no one is with me or I feel that I have to buy back the wool, Don't fight with me. "Wuyang made arrangements.
"We'll be fine tomorrow. However, in my opinion, our main focus should be on the office of the Myanmar Jadeite Company in Binh Chau, where they have a large amount of wool and a high probability of producing jadeite. Qi Zhiqiang said.
Wuyang smiled, "Big brother, you can't say that, everyone knows about Lu Dao, so why do you still have people to lose and someone to win?" I think. It's mostly about everyone's luck, not where to buy wool. β
"Brother, why do you sleep alone, Xiaoya?" Qi Zhiqiang asked.
"Big brother, we haven't reached that point yet, we won't live together for a while. You should rest early, you go to the ghost market tomorrow morning, and I won't go. β
After Qi Zhiqiang left, Wuyang thought to himself why Zhuqing didn't call, I don't know if they arrived, and when he saw that the time was not early, he washed and slept. As soon as I fell asleep, Shuangshuang called and said that we wanted to sleep together, and Wuyang said that you have been in the car for a day, and you are not tired?
Shuangshuang said: Is there anyone in your room? We can't come if there's anyone. Wuyang said okay, you guys come here.
At half past seven o'clock the next morning, Wuyang and his gang went to the restaurant for breakfast, and happened to see Zhuqing and a few people coming in together, so Wuyang greeted him. Zhu Qing came over and grabbed Wuyang's hand and shook it desperately.
Wuyang asked when you arrived? Zhu Qing said that the plane was late yesterday, and it was already late when he arrived here, so he didn't call him, and introduced the master, senior brother, and senior sister. The master's surname is Cao, he is over 70 years old, medium height, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, in good spirits, and relatively strong body. Senior brother is a young man, surnamed You, who is a master's student studying at school, and he is not much older than Wuyang. The senior sister's surname is Lin, and she is a junior student who is slightly older than Zhu Qing, with fair skin, a small and delicate figure, a straight and small nose, and bright eyes. Wuyang bowed to Zhuqing's master, Xie Lu thanked him for his teachings to Zhuqing, and also thanked him for his help in buying a land house last time.
Teacher Cao said: "I did what I should do, no thanks, Zhuqing studied very hard, I am very grateful." Xiao Li, how can you have so much money to buy real estate at such a young age. β
Wuyang smiled at Zhuqing's senior brother and sister, "Teacher Cao, in fact, there is not much money, and it is purely luck to be able to earn it, so I will report to you slowly in the future." β
Several people took the dishes and chopsticks together, and went to choose the food by themselves. Now the breakfast in the hotel is generally a buffet, and several people sit together to eat.
After dinner, Wuyang took a magnifying glass, flashlight and other things in the car, and walked to the jade street with Teacher Cao and Zhu Qing, and those people followed from a distance. Seeing the first store, Wuyang said, "Mr. Cao." Let's go in and have a look. β
A few people entered the store. There is a lot of wool at the door. Mr. Cao squatted down to take a closer look, and because Wuyang had recently read a book on geology, he raised more professional questions. Wuyang ran really angry and looked at the wool, Mr. Cao's analysis really made sense, all the wool he pointed out had more or less jadeite in it. But the water and color are not very good.
These wool materials have half gambling wool, there are also full gambling wool, asked the price, is relatively high. The jadeite inside is large and small, and it is basically not worth betting. Wuyang was about to ask the boss if there were any other wool materials, when President Qin, Director Zhou, and a few others came in.
Everyone greeted each other, and one of the members of the province, Boss Huang, said: "Boss Zhang, do you know who this boss is?" He is Li Wuyang and Boss Li, who were famous for gambling on the Yunnan-Myanmar border last time. Have you recently bought wool here? Let Boss Li take a look at it, as long as he likes it, he will buy it, this is a big boss. β
Boss Zhang said: "The wool must have entered some. They are all kept in the warehouse and are ready to participate in the trade fair. At that time, it can be sold for a good price. β
"Look, a layman, isn't it? You take us in to see, Boss Li takes a fancy to it, you just follow the price of the fair? Boss Huang said.
"Boss Huang, I'll listen to you, if any of you want to buy wool, just follow me in, and if you don't buy it, please rest here." After speaking, he arranged for the employees to look at the store, opened the back door of the store and walked inside, and Wuyang, Qi Zhiqiang, and Zhuqing followed.
Came to the backyard, there was a big iron gate inside, Boss Zhang took out a bunch of keys and opened the iron door, the iron door is the same as the bank vault, and the house in Wuyang's house is also installed with this kind of iron door.
Entered the warehouse, there were all gambling wool stacked in the middle, and there were iron shelves against the wall around it, and there were 3 layers of wool on it, all of which were half-gambling wool with openings. The lights in the warehouse were very dim, and only Wuyang brought a flashlight to the three of them, Qi Zhiqiang and Zhu Qing basically couldn't see what color was inside the openings of those half-gambling wool.
Boss Zhang said: "Boss Li, take your time, there are drinks in the refrigerator, drink them yourself." Would you like me to introduce me? β
Wuyang said: "I basically know about wool, if they need you to introduce, just introduce them." β
Wuyang turned on the flashlight and looked at himself. In fact, he didn't need this at all, he could use his true qi and see the inside of the stone clearly, but he was just pretending.
I saw that in the half-gambling wool, there are a few pieces of open openings that perform particularly well on the surface, which is the yang green of the ice species, but when you look inside, it is a white flocculent stone, and the jadeite has only a thin layer.
After basically reading the wool on the iron shelf, among the hundreds of wool, only two pieces of wool with jadeite were found. The wool is relatively large, one is 60 cm long, 40 cm wide, about 25 cm thick, the other is slightly smaller, about 5 cm less in each direction, the jade in the two pieces of wool is small is the ice species, the big one is the glass species, all are yang green, and the afternoon sun is very satisfied. And he poured a little mineral water on it as a mark.
At this time, Boss Zhang came over and asked, "Did Boss Li take a fancy to these two pieces of wool?" β
"Yes, I don't know what the price of these two pieces of wool is?" Wuyang asked.
"Boss Li, these two pieces of wool are the old pit wool of the Pagang factory, and the price must be higher, 50,000 pieces of 1 kilogram." Boss Zhang said.
Wuyang said: "Boss Zhang, we won't look at the wool, let's go out." "After saying that, raise your legs and leave.
Boss Zhang smiled and said, "What's the matter, should we discuss it again?" β
"Forget it, we can't afford it, so we still won't delay Boss Zhang's time. These two pieces of wool are more than 400 kilograms, 50,000 pieces of 1 kilogram, and there must be more than 20 million yuan to buy a piece, do you think we can't afford it? "Wuyang still has to go.
"Boss Li, doing business is originally asking for a sky-high price, and paying back the money on the spot, is the business negotiated?" Boss Zhang continued to smile and said.
"This kind of wool, whether it is in Yangmei or Tengyue, will not exceed 2 million, you give me more than 10 times the price now, how can you let me pay it back?" Wuyang was really taken aback by this price, and his mood went bad.
Boss Zhang knew that he had met an insider, and he couldn't shout the price blindly, so he said: "Boss Li, you bid to try, and we'll talk about it." β
"Boss Zhang, that's the case, you tell me the real price first, how much is 1 kilogram of all gambling wool on these grounds? So that we have a basis for talking about business. β
"Of course, the price of wool is much cheaper, but the wool here is from a good place and has a high emerald yield. The price is a little higher than others. It's 8,000 yuan for 1 kilogram. We can't compare with Tengyue here. The cost of shipping is less than half of ours. β
Wuyang Zhilu said that this time Boss Zhang did not ask for a sky-high price, so he said: "Boss Zhang, what price do you say we can trade for these two pieces of wool?" β
"Just press 15,000 yuan for 1 kilogram. Can Boss Li accept this price? Boss Zhang said.
Wuyang continued to bargain: "Boss Zhang, your price is still too high, do you think, if you put these two pieces of wool at the fair, one piece will be sold for about 5 million at most." The performance of these two pieces of wool is not very good, although the appearance is the appearance of the old pit wool. But there are very few pine flowers, and there are almost no python patterns, although there is jade in the opening, but no one knows what is going on in the road, right? Otherwise, the person who opened the mouth would not have to cut them all, and wouldn't it be much more profitable to sell jadeite? β
Boss Zhang said with a smile: "Boss Li, although I said that, after all, we are in business, and we have to consider whether the profit is or not, otherwise otherwise, we will press 15,000 for these two pieces of wool." The rest of the full gambling wool is at 6000. Do you think it's okay? β
Wuyang said: "If I don't fancy it in the whole gambling wool, then these two pieces are 13,000 yuan and 1 kilogram." If we like it, just do what you say, we buy good wool here, can you arrange for personnel to cut it out? β
Boss Zhang said: "If you want to cut them all, then you may not be busy, because we only have two stone cutters, and at the end of the day, we can't cut a few pieces." β
"Okay then, we have some cuts, some not. You also have to leave some time for others, Boss Zhang, you can go and accompany them, and I will take my time to look at the wool. After Wuyang finished speaking, he squatted on the ground to look at the whole gambling wool, and ignored Boss Zhang.
There are not many full-gambling wool on the ground, and there are more than 100 pieces, the small ones are only a few kilograms, and the large ones are several tons. The exterior is some grayish-white, with a slight yellow and black tint, and some are also a very small lump on a piece of wool. Such wool seems to be a must-have, and it's no wonder that the connoisseurs don't dare to speak on it.
The afternoon sun is really angry, and I regret it in my heart! You have to know that there are so many wool materials with jadeite in it, what are you going to buy those half-gambling wool materials for? Among the more than 100 pieces of wool, more than 10 pieces have jadeite in the middle. Now you are not polite, "Boss Zhang, can you help me find something, I will make a mark of the wool I like?" β
Boss Zhang immediately sent brushes and paint, "You choose it yourself, and I'll call someone to carry and weigh it." Then he went out.
Wuyang marked all 13 pieces of wool, called Qi Zhiqiang and Zhuqing over and said: "I selected these wool materials for you, which piece you fancy will be." Big brother, don't worry about the money, I'll use my card to swipe it first, and we'll settle the account after we go back. β
"Wuyang, I'll just pick a small one, gambling up, gambling down doesn't mean much to me, I just haven't seen the gambling stone, I want to taste crazy." Zhu Qing said.
Qi Zhiqiang said: "Brother, I have 1.2 million yuan on my card, 6,000 yuan a kilogram, I can only buy 200 kilograms, I will pick a few pieces and make up 200 kilograms." I can ask you to help me pick out the wool, but I can't ask you to help me advance money. β
"Big brother, what are you and mine, aren't we Uncle Lang?" Wuyang said with a smile.
Qi Zhiqiang said: "Brother, you can give us anything, we will accept it, but I can't let you help me settle the gambling account, if this matter spreads, I can't be a man, this is a matter of principle, and it can't be changed." Later, if the bet goes up, I can buy more wool. β
"Alright then, I respect your principles. It's up to you. Zhuqing, if you want to play crazy, then when you will go out, cut the stone, and see how your luck is? Big brother, let's see if your luck is good or not. Wuyang said with a smile.
I bent down and selected a piece of wool about 20 kilograms for Zhuqing, the jadeite in it is very delicate, it should be an ice species, which is considered high-end. Qi Zhiqiang selected two pieces of wool, one is about 140 kilograms, the jadeite inside is ice, but the jadeite is very large, it is estimated that there are more than 70 kilograms, and the other is about 50 kilograms, and the jadeite inside is glass, and there are more than 10 kilograms.
I still have 10 pieces, and the large one is about half a cube and weighs about one and a half tons. This is a piece of ice jadeite, and the jadeite is particularly large, estimated to weigh about 500 kilograms. In addition, there are two particularly delicate ones, probably glass species, which are also very large in size, almost full of green, and the jadeite in the other few pieces is also of ice species.
At this time, Boss Zhang called someone, opened the iron door of the warehouse, and drove in a forklift. First of all, the two and a half pieces of wool were weighed, with 932 kilograms and 13.98 million yuan; 10 pieces of full-gambling wool are divided into 6 pounds, with 9,200 kilograms, 55.2 million yuan, and a total of 69.18 million yuan.
There is a credit card machine in Boss Zhang's warehouse, and he immediately swiped the card to pay. Wuyang thought to himself, if this is in the big flat of those bosses on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar, the price of these wool materials should not be 10 million, but he is now a rich man, since he likes it, he will buy it back, and it will be more expensive. "Boss Zhang, I won't cut these few pieces of wool, but I have to drive the big truck in, and I have to ask you to load it."
"No problem, you call now, let your car drive in, and I'll call the door to let you go." Boss Zhang is now smiling, smiling sincerely.
I weighed Zhu Qing and Qi Zhiqiang again, swiped the card, and soon finished being busy, and the forklift transported their wool out of the city first. Wuyang said: "I won't wait for you later, go to the next house, and call me when you're done." β
Wuyang waited until his big truck came, and the forklift loaded his wool onto the truck before coming out. Next to the stone cutter, there were many people around, the roar of the stone cutter and the stone rubbing machine, and the shouts of the people sounded together.
"It's up." Someone shouted.
After a while, someone shouted, "It's gone up." β
As Wuyang approached, he heard a person say, "Girl, don't wipe it anymore, it's basically already out." I'll pay 10 million and sell it. β
Wuyang knew that person, it was Boss Huang who had just introduced himself to Boss Zhang.
Another voice shouted: "I'll give 12 million." β
When I looked at it at noon, it turned out to be an acquaintance. He walked over and said, "Hello, when did you come?" (To be continued......)
