Chapter Seventy-Two: Outwitting the Bidders
When they came to the courtyard, the staff here handed out a bidding card with a number on it, telling them that there would be a bidding at any time here, and when bidding, as long as they held up a sign, it was an offer that the staff said. For example, if the staff says that the price will be increased by 100,000 yuan each time, then once the card is raised, it will be 100,000 yuan, and so on. The person who bids for the last auction must pay the money immediately, and at the same time transport the wool, whether it is to cut the stone or transport it home, we don't care. However, if the auction is won and you don't want it, then we will immediately remove it and will not be allowed to participate in the jade auction in Myanmar in the future. Wuyang nodded in clarity.
There are already a lot of people in the courtyard, the members of the Jade Association, Boss Qiu's group are there, Teacher Cao also brought the students here, everyone is choosing wool, in fact, most of them are pretending, like Boss Qiu, they are at least.
Wuyang saw that the wool was divided into full gambling and half betting, and each piece of wool was numbered and the price was written. Wuyang saw that the price written on it was not very high, and it must be the starting price at the time of bidding. Most of the members of the Jade Association were in the semi-gambling area, and Wuyang walked over to greet them. Then pick the wool from scratch.
Wuyang saw a piece of wool of about 300 kilograms, and the jadeite inside the opening was very beautiful, it was the yang green of the ice species, but when he looked inside, the jadeite was not more than 3 cm thick, and it was full of white stones, and he was about to get up and leave, but there were already several people around him. Wuyang thought to himself, this situation may continue forever, so either you can't buy good wool today, or the price must be very high, and with these people, the price will be raised. The price is only 100,000 more per piece. If you buy 10 pieces of wool today. It's 1 million, but Wuyang is ready to do a big job, and there are more than 10 wool to buy, and the price of coaxing is not known how many 100,000 will be in Ludao, so the procurement cost does not know how much Ludao will increase.
Since Wuyang began to participate in gambling stones, he has never made unjust money, and this time he had to come out. So I decided to buy this piece of wool that had little value, and then I had to go to the whole gambling area to buy a piece of wool without jadeite. Cut it as soon as possible, let these people down, and you won't raise the price with yourself. There are not many people who have personally seen the Wuyang Gambling Stone, and most of them follow the trend.
Wuyang raised the sign, and the staff immediately came over, "Sir, you have taken a fancy to that piece of wool?" ”
Wuyang pointed to the wool on the ground and did not speak, and the staff beckoned everyone to come over and participate in the auction. Hula, almost everyone came, only Mr. Cao and a few of them did not approach, because they would not believe in other people's eyes at all.
The price tag for this piece of wool is 600,000. Everyone knows very well that this price has no guiding significance. The staff explained the rules again. The auction began.
"This Mr. No. 35 has taken a fancy to this piece of wool, have you increased the price? Because it is a half-gambling wool, so each time the card is 200,000 yuan, if there is a bid of more than 200,000 yuan, you can shout, start now. ”
Immediately, someone raised the card, and several people followed the card, and the price soon reached 1.2 million. The price was quickly raised to 4.6 million, Wuyang saw that it was a member of the Jade Association, and he felt a little unbearable, after all, it is very hard for people to open a jewelry store, and it is not easy to make a few dollars, if you buy this piece of wool, half a year's profit will go in, if it is Boss Qiu and a group of people, Wuyang will not raise the card again, and now Wuyang hesitated for a moment, or raised it again.
Boss Ji, who came with Boss Qiu, followed and raised the card, but Wuyang did not raise it again, so Boss Ji bought this piece of wool for 5 million, and the staff recruited a forklift to cut stones.
Wuyang walked to the whole gambling area again, and some merchants also followed, and another part of the people went to see the stone cutting. After a while, I selected a piece of wool of about 600 kilograms, and I looked into it, which was basically full of stones, only in the closest place to one end, there was a cylindrical arm-sized jadeite, which was very delicate, and the water was very good, it was a glass species, and it was very valuable, but when cutting stones, if you were not careful, one was likely to cut the jadeite, and the other was like Wu Fang's grandfather's house. Wuyang made a plan in his heart and recruited the staff.
The staff looked at the number plate in Wuyang's hand and announced the rules again, but this time it was 100,000 yuan once.
The price of wool is 800,000 yuan, and the people who came basically participated in the sign, and the price was soon raised to 4 million yuan. Then the crowd was silent. To tell the truth, if these businessmen want to pay more than 5 million to buy a piece of all-gambling wool, they are still reluctant to do so, in case there is no jade in it, 5 million will be lost.
The staff asked several times if anyone was bidding, and everyone stopped holding signs. So Wuyang bought this piece of wool. Transporting the wool to the stone cutter, after swiping the card to pay, the stone cutter asked Wuyang how to cut the stone, Wuyang pointed to the end without jadeite and said: "Cut from here, 5 cm a knife, all the way down." "After fixing the wool, the master began to cut the stone.
After a few cuts in a row, the inside was the same as the outside, and it was still the same gray-white stone. The master asked, "Do you still cut it?" ”
Wuyang said, "Cut it down, I'll call you when you want to stop." ”
After a few more cuts, Wuyang stopped. Of the 80 cm long wool, only about 20 cm remains, which is not much more than the width of the fixed wool. The master unloaded the wool, picked it up and left, and said, "Just keep it as a souvenir." ”
As soon as he left not far away, someone said: "Nine out of ten bets and nine losses, it seems that everyone is about the same." ”
Another person said: "This is originally a matter of luck, if you buy a piece of jadeite in it, then buy wool every day, cut it out and sell jadeite." ”
Another person said: "There is no need for us to follow him, when he cuts out the jadeite, we can buy it from him." ”
Although Wuyang is far away, he has good hearing, and when he hears all these words, he is very happy, and this is what he wants. The staff led him out, put the wool in the trunk of the Audi, and returned to the yard.
Again in the semi-gambling area, the wool was selected, and this time no one else followed. The girls were chatting from afar. Xie Jiliang was waiting for Wuyang to call him for something. Only Qi Zhiqiang was with him. Qi Zhiqiang ran 5 or 6 houses with Wuyang yesterday, and with the help of Wuyang, he bought more than 10 pieces of wool, and also got a hint from Wuyang, the jade in those wool materials is enough for him to sell for a few years, so he is here to help today, in fact, Wuyang knows it in his heart. He definitely still wants to buy some, who doesn't want to take advantage of it?
Since there is no one to compete with him, the price is very cheap, and the staff of the office have no choice, the price is their own standard, and the rules are also set by themselves, and they can't blame others. Although Wuyang used a plan, he didn't feel a little guilty in his heart, and he was very at ease. If you like a piece, write down the number. After having 4 or 5 pieces, give the number to Qi Zhiqiang. Qi Zhiqiang ran to hand it over to Xie Jiliang again, and Xie Jiliang negotiated with the staff about the auction. No one bids, so they go to pay by card to cut stones, and then Gao Xiaoya and Liu Rong preside over the auction. After a morning, Wuyang selected more than 80 pieces of wool, Xie Jiliang negotiated more than 50 pieces, and cut out more than 20 pieces. Basically, all of them were auctioned off, and most of them were bought by Boss Qiu and his gang.
After Boss Ji bought the wool and cut it down, several people no longer thought about buying wool by themselves, but thought about buying jadeite. In the middle, Boss Qiu ran over and asked Wuyang, "You buy so much wool and go back, is there any jade in it, it turns out that you don't know it yourself?" ”
Wuyang said: "Actually, in the future, not only the price of jadeite will rise, but also the price of wool will rise. In fact, you can also use this method, select the wool material yourself, transport it back to collect it, and after a few years, the price will definitely increase a lot. ”
Boss Qiu said: "We also guessed your intentions, but we can't do this, we can't help but cut it, if there is jade in it, it's okay to say, if not, the money will be lost in vain." Let's honestly buy jadeite from you. ”
In the morning, Wuyang is a half-gambling wool bought in the half-gambling area, and basically all the ice species and above are bought, and some other water species are kept and not bought. In the future, others will still come to choose wool, otherwise people are facing the situation of ten gambles and ten losses, which is too much to say, and you can't be like this.
In the afternoon, when I arrived at the whole gambling area, Mr. Cao was bidding with a group of people. He is now very famous, and anyone will soon bid for any wool he likes. Fortunately, he is now wealthy, and he doesn't care about a few small dollars, but cares about the sense of accomplishment that he can see that there is jade in the wool. Zhu Qing told Wuyang that Mr. Cao's situation is very good, he has a retirement salary of several thousand yuan a month after retirement, his son and daughter are abroad, they have their own businesses, he has his own storefront, he has been in business for nearly 10 years, and he has a lot of capital, and now he has made money gambling again, and he is already a rich man. Therefore, after the wool he selected in the whole gambling area, after cutting it out, he kept it all by himself, and prepared to take it back and study it slowly. Zhu Qing's senior brother and sister followed the teacher, and this morning they also selected a few pieces of wool, some of which were cut out of the jadeite, and they were sold, which made Mr. Cao feel a sense of accomplishment.
After Wuyang greeted him, he began to choose wool, and Qi Zhiqiang followed him. It took about an hour to finish reading the whole gambling area, and more than 60 pieces of wool were picked out, and the numbers were handed over to Qi Zhiqiang. Because Xie Jiliang is still busy with the wool in the semi-gambling area in the morning, Wuyang estimates that he can only be in this house in the afternoon and tomorrow. Nothing happened, so I went to the office and chatted with the staff here.
They all knew Wuyang's performance in the yard, and Boss Chen was much more enthusiastic about him. He introduced himself as having been born and raised in Myanmar and had not been back to China for a long time to do business. His uncle has a deep background in the Myanmar military, and the business is also cooperated with the military, so there is no problem with the source of the wool, and if Mr. Lai is interested in the future, he can come here often, and he can also go to Myanmar.
Wuyang said: "I am going to Myanmar to participate in the jade fair, I am a member of the National Jade Association, I should receive an invitation letter." ”
Boss Chen said: "It's better this way. I just need to inform my uncle and ask him to send someone to contact you, and arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the consignment of wool at that time. ”
Wuyang asked: "I bought wool in Myanmar, can I send it back to China?" ”
Boss Chen smiled, "Let you bring it back to China by yourself, if it is one or two pieces, there is no problem, if there are too many, it will be very inconvenient." Although the tender was approved by the Burmese government, the central government of Myanmar was sometimes unable to do anything about the local government, and there was still a lot of trouble. Our jadeite company is different. We have a good relationship with the central government. Local governments are also not going to bother us. You can rest assured. If you have selected a lot of wool, let our company transport it for you, you can pick it up in Pingzhou at that time, and let us send it to your designated place. ”
Wuyang said: "That's great, I'm still worried that the wool won't be shipped back." ”
"Mr. Lai, ask a question that shouldn't be asked, how much money are you going to bring to Myanmar to buy wool?"
"I don't know how much money is enough."
"Mr. Lai, let me tell you clearly. Buying wool on the jadeite public market in Myanmar is about half cheaper than buying it here, and the wool there is basically not selected many times, and the grade will be higher. So, bring as much money as you can. Of course, you don't have to use it all up. ”
Wuyang said: "I have prepared 8 or 900 million euros now, I don't know if it is enough?" ”
Boss Chen smiled: "There are really not many big bosses like you. It's only 10 million or 20 million euros, which is enough for a trip. However, if you spend 800 or 900 million euros on wool this year, the price of this batch of wool will increase by at least 50% next year, which is worth it. Of course, buying more is better, we just transport for you for half a year is no problem, anyway, transportation is also our business project. ”
"Boss Chen, can you leave me a Myanmar mobile phone number, and I will contact you when the time comes."
"I'll tell you right now that I use this number in China. Don't worry, after I tell my uncle, I will probably go back when the public market begins. ”
"Boss Chen, can I borrow your phone now, I'll make a call, in fact, my own phone can also be used, but in order to increase the mystery, I want to borrow it, you can rest assured, it will definitely not cause you any trouble."
After Boss Chen handed over the mobile phone, Wuyang called the colonel at the headquarters in the capital in person. Wuyang speaks in English. Tell the colonel that his boss does not know Chinese, and he is afraid of arousing his suspicion by talking in Chinese. The colonel said, "It's good if you got the metal again."
Wuyang said: "After the last business, our boss was very happy, and he deliberately spent a lot of effort to do this, this time we have something again, the boss asked me to contact you, is it to send it over?" ”
The colonel said, "Send it over, how many?" I'll give you the money. ”
Wuyang said: "This time the thing may be about double the last time, the specific weight boss didn't tell me." I came over about before the Chinese New Year and I'll call you again when I get there. ”
hung up the phone, chatted with Boss Chen again, chatted with Tiannan Haibei, Qi Zhiqiang came in to find him, saying that Boss Qiu and his gang are basically running out of capital now, and now only jade merchants buy jadeite, and there is also the wool he just remembered the number, and there are already a few pieces that have been favored by others, do you want to participate in the auction?
Wuyang said I'll take a look.
Back in the yard, the local boss I met on the first day took a fancy to a piece of wool that he was optimistic about, the jade in the wool was not very big, but the water was better. Wuyang thinks about it, when people come to gamble on stones, it is rare to choose a good one, so don't fight for it. He shook his head at Qi Zhiqiang, the two walked to the side, and Wuyang said, "Big brother, do you want to buy a few more pieces of wool now?" ”
Qi Zhiqiang said: "I think it's enough, I still have to do this business for a few years, and I won't do it again, besides, just like you, money doesn't mean much to me anymore." ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "Big brother, you are easy to be satisfied, you buy more now, and when you are happy in the future, you can come and play, isn't it." ”
"Alright then, I'll buy a few more. By the way, brother, those girls who came with you, they didn't seem to buy anything, do you want them to buy a few dollars each to play, as well as your sister and Xiaoya. Now these jade merchants can't pay a high price anyway, after cutting out these wool materials and selling the jade tomorrow morning, don't cut the wool of the remaining two families, you still pull it back, keep it and play slowly later. ”
Wuyang said: "Big brother, you can arrange it, sister, Xiaoya and those girls' wool, don't let them pay, my card is in Xiaoya's hands, let Xiaoya pay all their money by card at that time." ”
The girls have been busy for Wuyang these days, and except for Zhuqing, who bought a piece of wool, no one else bought wool. Wuyang thinks it's good to let them have a good time.
He brought Xie Jiliang again and asked him to buy a few pieces of wool, Xie Jiliang said something similar to what Qi Zhiqiang said, and Wuyang scolded with a smile: "You unambitious guy, how much money do you have now?" Hurry up and buy it, if you don't buy it yourself, just buy it for Yang Xi, she hasn't bought wool, just watch the excitement like this, won't you have an opinion on me? In addition, buy a few pieces for Wang Bin and Chen Xiaobao, you can cut them here, and you can pull them back and cut them yourself. ”
Xie Daxia was very moved when he heard that Wuyang was thinking about Wang Bin and Chen Xiaobao, so he said: "Then I will give them the two of them, as well as your uncle and aunt, each bring two pieces back, and whether there is jade or not depends on their luck." ”
Yang Xi pinched the soft flesh on the hero's waist next to him, and the hero smiled: "I'll buy it, can't I buy a few more pieces?" ”
Yang Xi smiled and said: "Look at how many people understand women, learn a little, otherwise if you want to find the second lady, there is no door." ”
Wuyang smiled and called Liu Bingqiu, asking him to send 4 trailers and 1 big truck over tomorrow to pull some wool back. (To be continued......)
