Chapter 386: Talking to Yu Zhipeng about investment
The next day, Xiao Zhen arranged a car and took a few women who had never been to Yangon to go around the places of interest and commercial streets. They had a good time, and Wuyang and Qibin happily paid for them and carried things.
I went to the stall owner who bought the wood carving in the market again, and the stall owner no longer sold the goods himself, but invited a middle-aged man and a young girl to sell the goods, and sat on the chaise longue and smoked a cigarette with a tea set next to him.
Seeing the afternoon sun, the stall owner quickly stood up, "Oh, the big boss is here, please sit down, come, smoke, drink tea." ”
"Boss, you've made a fortune. What kind of good tea to drink, there are many of us, is it a new pot? What's the good stuff you haven't had lately? ”
"Yes, really good things, old things, I didn't put them out, I specially kept them for you, go and see them first? Let my brother make you tea. ”
Wuyang followed into the inner room, and the stall owner untied the rope, opened a long wooden box, and opened another layer of cloth, and inside was a screen. "Look at it, the real sandalwood screen, the carvings on this wood, you look at these water ripples, how beautiful, how exquisite, have you seen these dragons? It's a five-clawed dragon, a royal thing. The carved surface in the middle is not glass, but mutton fat white jade. This peony flower is a symbol of great wealth and wealth. ”
"You're lying, how can it be that the color of mutton fat white jade is so consistent?"
"Boss, I don't know myself, but I asked an expert to identify it. This is an old object of the Yuan Dynasty, this five-clawed dragon, which can only be used by the royal family. You see, this screen is carved from a single piece of wood and is 1.7 meters high. Width 33 cm. Thickness 3.3 cm. How can there be such a big sandalwood in modern times? ”
Wuyang doesn't know these things very well, but it looks really delicate and beautiful, and it looks like an object with years, and the real qi of operation penetrates into the wood, and a strong sandalwood fragrance comes out. "Tell me a price, I'll ask for the right price."
The stall owner smiled, "Old friend, I don't ask for a price." The whole screen is 16 kilograms, and you press 15 kilograms, giving the price of gold. ”
"Okay, deal, you wrap up. In this wooden box, you need to put more filling, don't damage it, it won't look good if you match it. Boss, keep any good things for me in the future, and I will trust Boss Chen's people one day. Bring you two kilos of gold and give it to you. ”
The stall owner immediately nodded. "Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie boss. Boss, the next time you come over, do you just bring some gold, our people here, when they have something, they all like to exchange for gold. I still have a few wooden boxes of old objects here, and people just want to exchange them for gold, not money. ”
"What old thing? I'll see, and if it's worth it, I'll let the helicopter bring the gold. ”
The stall owner said: "This is something sent from Thailand, we Chinese brought it out from China, porcelain is bottles and jars, and purple clay pots or something, you see." These people have said that one kilogram of porcelain is exchanged for five kilograms of gold. ”
"Can I take a look first?"
"Of course, I don't know if it's worth changing."
"If we make a deal, how will your profit be calculated?"
"It's given by the owner of the goods, you don't have to care. But the boss was polite and bought all my ivory carvings, and I was the happiest. ”
"You still have ivory carvings? New or old? ”
"There are quite a lot of ivory carvings in Myanmar, both new and old, I don't rely on your help now, I have a little fame, people are willing to send things to me, I will accept them all and see if I can earn some pocket money."
"What price?"
"Now the price of ivory is about 10,000 yuan per kilogram, but the customs inspection is strict, you can't take it back when you buy it, few people buy it, and if it can be shipped back to the motherland, it will be 10 times the price." Boss, you must have a way to ship it back, I'll have a wholesale price, 8000 per kilogram, how about it? ”
"Do you have a lot more?"
"Hehe, quite a bit, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for your big boss. There are only two here, one new and one old, and if you decide to ask for it, let my brother pull it over. ”
"How many do you have?"
The stall owner asked the guy, "Brother, how much did you buy?" ”
His brother said: "Add these two roots, a total of 1,232 roots, and there are not many whole roots, they are all half-cut, 7,218 kilograms." ”
Zhu Qing said: "Wuyang, there are so many at home, you haven't moved for a few years, what are you buying now?" ”
Wuyang smiled, "It's really a dispensable thing." ”
The stall owner said: "Boss, you are not short of this money, the price will definitely increase if you buy it back, now it costs 10,000 yuan, and it will be 100,000 yuan when you go back." ”
Fu Ying said: "Wuyang, don't buy it." For wild animals, there is no trade, there is no killing, let's start with us. ”
"Okay, boss, please bring those porcelains out and have a look."
The stall owner brought out a wooden box, opened the lid, and wrapped it in paper again. Peel off the paper, see that it is a snuff bottle, small and exquisite, the appearance of the flower is also very beautiful, look at the bottom, it is a thing of the folk kiln in the Jiaqing period, the weight is about 20 grams. I watched a few more, some in the Guangxu period, the Xuantong period, and some without financial knowledge.
"Boss, are all snuffboxes here?"
"Yes, there is another box of pen washes, pen holders, a box of wine jugs, wine glasses, a box of teapots, teacups, purple sand, 4 sets, and three boxes of porcelain bottles. It's all from the Qing Dynasty, at least more than 100 years ago. ”
"Your teapot is also a purple clay pot, right?"
"Yes, it was taken out of the wooden box."
"I'll see." As he spoke, he picked it up and took a closer look, and it was in vain to see, he didn't understand these things at all, and he didn't know who was making the pot, nor did he know how to make it.
Pretending to look at it for a while, I thought, it's just luck. This set of teapots, teacups and teacups should add up to 800 grams, requiring 4 kilograms of gold, worth 1.2 million, too expensive, I don't know if it's true.
"Forget it, boss, I can't see these things for sure, the price is so expensive, I still need to transport gold, don't want it, just buy this screen."
The stall owner smiled: "Boss, business has to be discussed, isn't it all about business." ”
Wuyang smiled. "I'm too lazy to talk. You've said it all. We are old friends, I bought this screen with you, and your profit is more than 1 million, I didn't make a counteroffer, right? Show a little sincerity, or we'll leave. ”
The stall owner said: "Boss, I'll tell you the truth, that Yu Ying in your family is my distant relative." I still introduced it to her, we also know the roots, I believe you, you take these porcelain, purple clay pots, go back to identify whether they are true, and give gold according to 3 times their weight, fake, you just throw it away. Ivory is only 5,000 yuan a kilogram, you don't suffer. ”
"Boss, since you say so. We're done. But I'll give you all the money, and it's the same when you buy gold in Burma. Rules for buying and selling antiques. I still understand, and I don't blame you for the eyes. ”
The stall owner said: "Boss, people buy and sell antiques, they are all between antique connoisseurs, and we don't want to repeat customers, we are different, we are not connoisseurs, I also want to keep you to come a few more times, so the rules of other people's are not applicable to us." ”
"Okay, it's fake, I'll bring it next time. You're good to deal with. Let's start weighing now, please prepare a container, and I'll pull it away later. ”
The stall owner's brother called a few people and left on his own. The women went shopping again, everyone was doing things, and the stall owner occasionally gave a few words, mainly chatting with Wuyang.
Wuyang said: "Boss, I haven't asked your name. Can you tell me? ”
The stall owner smiled: "How can a little person like us fall into the eyes of Boss Li." My name is Yu Zhipeng, and I am a distant relative of Yu Ying. ”
"Then what is the relationship between you and Yu Ying? Her uncle? ”
"No, my grandfather and her grandfather are cousins, my father came with my uncle, my room is a long house, and we are brother and sister."
Wuyang smiled: "Then I will also call you big brother." ”
"Don't dare, Boss Li, you are the big boss, you call me the best. I'm almost 50 years old. ”
"I can't see it, I thought you were 40 years old. It's better to call it big brother. Big brother, now you are not a small person, you are a big boss. The last time you collected timber, you made a lot of money, and this time our business is closed, and your assets should be tens of millions of dollars. ”
"Compared to you, it's not worth a fraction." Yu Zhipeng said.
"Big brother, are you interested in doing business together? We're all going to make a fortune. I'll pay for it, and you can do it. ”
"What's good business?"
"I don't know what you lack here?"
"There are a lot of things missing, you look at this street, there are few cars and they are all old, and they don't turn on the air conditioner, and the air conditioning in the hotel often can't be moved. The main thing is the lack of oil, electricity, and, of course, the main thing, the lack of money. ”
"Big brother, how about we invest in the construction of a hydropower station?"
"Of course, that's good, but there are no engineers here, no steel or cement, only rivers deep in the mountains, and the water is quite abundant."
"How about building a steel plant and a cement plant?"
Yu Zhipeng smiled: "There is no electricity, it is useless for you to build it." ”
Wuyang said: "Then we still have to build a hydropower station first." We shipped steel and cement from China. How about you help contact the Burmese government? ”
"Where are you going to build a hydropower station?"
"Of course, it should be close to Yangon, which has a large population, a lot of electricity, and a transmission line that is not far away. Mandalay can also be considered. Big brother, you are more familiar with the situation than me, tell me your opinion. ”
"Building a hydropower station close to Yangon is not the best option. It is densely populated, and the large number of people who need to be relocated will make the compensation much more than the cost of building near Mandalay. I know that you have been smuggling wool, and when you come back, they are all empty cars, why don't you let them pull steel and cement over? ”
"We have our own steel production company in our hometown, but we can do it without shipping for cement. Big brother, can you help me get in touch. Let's talk about it first, whether it is successful or not, the cost is mine, and your salary is also included. ”
"Boss Li, you must have found the right one for me. Don't look at me doing business here every day, but I'm still familiar with some high-ranking officials. If you ask Boss Chen to contact you, you will definitely succeed, but the cost is at least 10 times more than mine. ”
"Big brother, it's better for us to contact Myanmar Cooking through open methods, so that we can be protected."
"No problem, we donated to build a few schools, promised to build roads in the future, and there will be no problem in the government department. With $500,000, you can build 10 schools. The road from Mandalay to Yangon is less than 600 km. If you build a highway. Just over 500 kilometers, less than $10 billion is enough. ”
Wuyang smiled: "Big brother, have you already calculated everything?" ”
"It's not me who counts, it's the officials, and I listened to it. If you build a road, you can collect fees, and you can also ask the government for some land for development, build a factory, or something. But it's all your business. It has nothing to do with me. ”
"How's that going to work? We're a partnership. ”
"At first, I will help you run, and when your hydropower station is repaired, the national electrical appliance market will inevitably rise. You set up a factory to produce TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines, and I opened a shopping mall to sell these electrical appliances, aren't we cooperating? Also, we are working together to transform this market, not only to sell these small goods with Myanmar characteristics, but also to sell jadeite jade, red sapphire, so that tourists can come to Myanmar at any time. can buy authentic jadeite and gemstones, will this business be less profitable? ”
"Big brother. You contact the government officials, write a detailed plan, and when it's ready, call me, and I'll come over and bring people to demonstrate, explore the geology, repair the road, and prepare for construction. ”
"It's good. However, I will definitely include markets and shopping malls in it, otherwise it will be troublesome to apply separately in the future, and it may be preempted. ”
"That's good. Big brother, whose property rights do these malls and markets belong to? ”
"If you pay, of course it's yours, and I will pay you rent for my own use or someone else's lease. My money can only be used as my liquidity in the future, otherwise I won't be able to play it. So you don't have to come in person, you can't have time to take your time to do these things, just send someone who can do it. ”
"Okay, I'll write you a project I want to build now, and you can translate it into Burmese. You can only increase these items, not decrease them. ”
"Okay, I'll give you a long-term plan to buy 100,000 hectares of land in five years, invest 100 billion US dollars, and have an output value of more than one trillion yuan. After 5 years, if there is a profit, I will continue to invest with the profit, and then there will be another 5-year plan. Boss Li, any country, when it hears that you don't take away the profits, will happily agree to your investment. ”
"Big brother, our China and Myanmar have been friendly neighbors for generations, and we need to make profits from our investment, but we can't let the people and government of Myanmar suffer, so as not to tarnish the reputation of our people. In your words, it doesn't cost much. And those whom I have sent will instruct them. ”
Yu Zhipeng said: "Boss Li, this kind of thing takes time, and there may be some obstacles at the beginning, but don't be afraid, with me, I will try my best to coordinate it." ”
Wuyang said: "Big brother, I believe in your ability. Now that the developed countries in the West are blockading your country, I will definitely welcome to come and invest. But international affairs are beyond the control of those of us. ”
Yu Zhipeng said: "Boss Li, if there is any change, I will definitely be able to get the news, and you will also get the news as soon as possible, and immediately give me measures to deal with it to reduce the loss to a minimum." ”
Wuyang smiled: "I hope there is no day, and if you have it, you can only think of a way together." ”
Wuyang opened the list, carefully checked the contents of the cardboard box, and the women who went shopping also returned. Several people were carrying large bags and small bags, and they were all a little tired.
The workers were busy for two hours, and they all got it done, and the car that Xiao Zhen arranged by calling also arrived, and they were directly loaded and sent back.
A few people ate Burmese-style Chinese food, and when they returned to the hotel, Zhuqing complained: "It's just that Zhilu Dao spends money indiscriminately." ”
Wuyang smiled: "If you make money, you spend it, do you believe that we all have to earn it back at the public market?" ”
Zhu Bao said: "Wuyang, you have already spent more than 160 billion dollars. ”
Wuyang smiled heartily, "Earn it back." ”
The next day, after completing the formalities and entering the venue, I saw that the venue had expanded a lot, and there were not many businessmen in the venue, only the military police in the distance. "Qibin, now that there is so much wool, has the charter of the meeting been changed?"
"Changed a few things, it's pretty much the same. Before the open and dark bids, there is only one day to show you the wool; The number of bids per day has increased to 10 times, 10,000 yuan per day. ”
"Is the staff busy?" Wuyang remembered the situation of queuing before.
"If you look at the back, there are a lot of houses, the number of people has increased more, and the service attitude is getting better and better, but the price is much higher. Big brother, you don't know the price, let's see how many dollars I bid first, and it will be difficult to negotiate when there are more people. In addition, you know my character, I am more conservative, you fancy the inevitable, on the high standard of 10-20%, by the way, but also take into account the factors of this year's price increase. ”
Wuyang smiled: "You just get it together, I'll draw the scoop according to the gourd, only what I am going to bring back, I don't hesitate to increase the price." ”
Zhu Qibin smiled, didn't say a word, walked to the No. 1 section of the Ming Marking Area, and both of them took out their pens and notebooks and began to select wool.
Seeing a piece of emerald inside, Zhu Qibin said: "Big brother, look at this piece, according to its appearance and market price, it should be 300,000 euros, but if you want to take it, you can't do it without 500,000." Of course, our situation is different, we will definitely not suffer a loss, and if we hit the cut out, 5 times the profit is certain. ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "Qi Bin, since our brothers are here to make money, Grandpa Qin and them are also like this, as long as there is 3 or 4 times the profit, they will start." ”
"Big brother, I guess you may be like Grandpa Qin, and it is also a farewell match, and it will be rare to have a chance to come in the future."
"Yes, as long as you go to the local government, you can't come at all. Let's get started, by the way, Qi Bin, anyway, it's impossible for others to come close to see it, so let's mark the number, write the price clearly, and let them copy it when we go back in the evening. This lucky day will also be tiring. ”
Since it had been talked about in advance, Zhu Qing and the others didn't bother, and the two kept watching. Although Zhu Qibin's true qi is later than that of Wuyang, his progress is also very fast, and the progress of the two is about the same. I read exactly 5,000 yuan in one morning.
When she went to the tent restaurant prepared by Boss Chen to eat, Zhu Qing asked Wuyang to pick a good number for her, and said: "We have nothing to do in the afternoon, so we will copy it, and then copy it the day after tomorrow in the evening, so that we will not make a mistake." We young people are nothing, and Mr. Cao may not have the energy tomorrow. ”
"That's good, I'll tear it up for you, don't lose it."
Back at the hotel, after the meal, he copied the number again, and after copying it, Wuyang checked Zhu Bao and Zhu Bei, and added true qi to their dantian. Now that the two of them have made great progress, there is a faint true qi in the dantian, and they can also run along the meridians.
The next day, they were sent into the bidding hall and instructed several times before walking away with Zhu Qibin. As a result, exactly an hour later, Zhuqing called.
"Zhuqing, what's the matter?"
"We didn't hit a single shot, we were all the last to be shot."
"It doesn't matter, there is such a situation when I just learned to bid, and it will be better slowly in the future."
"Wuyang, just now Grandpa Qin's apprentice said, someone must know you, and they are eyeing us, we have taken a fancy to it, there must be jade in it, people are competing with us, even if the bid is high, it is better than buying blindly. To deal with them, he came up with an idea. ”
"What's the idea?"
"We started to put your low price tag, all of them are very high, and if the price is high, don't vote first, and then vote a few minutes after the most lucrative, people just want to vote and can't win. Even if you come to win, you don't have that much money to buy it. ”
"It's a bad idea, it's only going to cheapen the Burmese government."
"But I can't help it."
"Okay, let's try it."
At lunchtime, several people arrived together, Wuyang asked about the situation, and Zhu Qing said: "It's a little better, we have all hit a few pieces since the second round, and there are more and more later." ”
Grandpa Qin said: "The federal government has a lot to do with this. (To be continued......)
