Chapter 17: The Crazy Stone
"Awesome! Xiao Nie! You're amazing! After seeing everyone leave, Sun Jincai immediately ran out happily, hugged Nie Lingfeng's fat body, and said happily.
"Hehe, man, I won't accompany you in the future!" Nie Lingfeng said with a smile.
"Alas!" Sun Jincai sighed when he heard the words and said: "I know that you will not be able to do it soon, you have now turned into a phoenix, what ......about me!" Alas! It's a miserable life! ”
"Don't sigh," Nie Lingfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's honestly find a good man to marry......"
"Phew! ……”
"Don't think about gambling on stones all day!"
"No!" Sun Jincai shook his head resolutely and said: "If I can't bet on the stones, I won't cheer up in my life!" ”
"Good!" Nie Lingfeng actually admires Sun Jincai's unyielding and unyielding spirit very much, but such a person is like a demon, and he has already drilled into the tip of the horns, and it is really too difficult to free him from the shadows!
It is really easy to do things with money, and at noon the next day, Ah Wen returned to the processing factory with Nie Lingfeng's passport. However, when he saw Nie Lingfeng this time, his attitude was much more modest.
"Thank you!" Nie Lingfeng took the passport and immediately politely spoke.
"No thanks, this is what I should do!" Arwen smiled: "By the way, I have a treat when I have time, let's have a drink!" ”
"Okay!"
Nie Lingfeng knew that this guy must have known in the hospital, and his punch at least made that Ah Wu not even speak in the future! Because he knew the Tao clearly, that punch almost shattered his nasal cavity.
In the evening of the same day, the group stepped on the plane to Baiyun Airport.
Maybe Qin Sihai knew that his daughter was very friendly to this "fat man", or maybe the fat man was more modest, so the two sat together all the way, but Ah Wen followed Mr. Pei every step of the way.
"Elder Qin, why do we want to come to Baiyun Airport?" Nie Lingfeng finally raised the doubts in his heart.
"Because we are waiting for the arrival of a charter flight from Myanmar! The charter flight in Myanmar took off on time at 3 a.m.! Qin Sihai said.
"Old Qin, are we going to Yangon?" Nie Lingfeng asked.
"No, it's Naypyidaw!"
"Naypyidaw?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, this is different from what was introduced on the computer!
"Myanmar's jadeite trade was originally in Yangon, but later moved to Naypyidaw, and as the new capital, it needed a lot of new projects. Naypyidaw's original jadeite trading market was in poor conditions, with no shaded canopy, so everyone could only sweat and choose gemstones in the sun. Before the rainy season came, the sun was fierce almost every day, and it was a really difficult time! Seeing Nie Lingfeng's puzzled look, Qin Sihai sighed and explained.
"It's the rainy season in Myanmar, right?" Nie Lingfeng asked.
"Yes! The rainy season in Myanmar runs until October, and now walking down the street, you will see a street full of girls selling all kinds of straw hats at the door. But at night, it gets cooler. The weather in South Asia is changeable, one day is sunny, one time it is pouring rain, when the rain falls, everyone rushes to avoid the rain, scattered like beasts, but when the sky is clear, everyone gathers together, hehe, that scene is really interesting! Qin Sihai recalled and said with a smile.
The crowd bumped all the way to Naypyidaw, the new capital of Myanmar. At this time, a civilian airport had not yet been built in Naypyidaw, and the planes were parked at a military airfield. As soon as they got off the plane, they were herded into a house and guarded by armed Burmese soldiers. Burmese people casually move a table and use it as a customs office for entry.
"Why is there such a mess here?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the scene in front of him.
"It hasn't been long since Myanmar moved, so it's more chaotic, maybe it will be fine in a few years!" Qin Sihai was used to this kind of scene, so he said with a wry smile.
"Old Qin, what does this old pit glass jade look like in Myanmar?" Nie Lingfeng asked.
"Hehe, Myanmar's Laokeng glass jadeite is a peerless good jadeite!" Speaking of his own profession, Qin Sihai was obviously very excited, and immediately explained: "Jadeite, now known as the king of jade, whether its color or hardness, is far beyond the traditional jade in China. The characteristics of Laokeng jade are "good water head", hard quality, high transparency, and its upper grade is transparent like glass, so it is called "Laokeng glass species" or "Laokeng ice species", among which the emerald green value is the highest, and the green jade is usually referred to as the green Laokeng jade jade, which is generally called 'high green' or 'bright green'. ”
"Oh!" Nie Lingfeng confirmed that what he saw from the computer was indeed similar to what Qin Sihai said, so he nodded.
By the time everyone boarded the bus provided by the Myanmar government, it was already dark.
Nie Lingfeng went abroad for the first time, and he looked very excited, poked his head out, and looked at the scenery of Myanmar carefully.
Myanmar is one of the countries with the most pagodas in the world, and it is difficult for Nie Lingfeng's eyes to escape from the various pagodas. When the car drove into the suburbs of Naypyidaw, I saw several Buddha statues scattered on the green fields, and the golden light was very eye-catching in the green rice fields.
Naypyidaw was built on the plains as a new city, and it didn't look like a new capital, but rather like a giant resort, or a new European town. The buildings in the city are all low, mainly villas, with a wide view. The population is small, the commercial atmosphere is cold, not to mention the rich humanistic atmosphere. What's even more amazing is that the road leading to the national government of Myanmar is unusually wide, with 17 lanes on one side, which is magnificent, but there are almost no cars on the road, maybe it's too early!
In less than an hour, the car drove into the destination of the trip: the Myanmar jadeite trading market.
Myanmar's jadeite market looks like a gymnasium from afar, the size of two football fields, and different varieties of stones are surrounded by barbed wire fences to form different areas. The jadeite trade is the business of the wealthy, and the entrance ticket alone costs 50,000 euros per person (which can be used to offset the payment), and once the transaction is successful, it also needs to pay double the tax, so not everyone can enter the market here.
However, despite the high threshold, it is still crowded with people, and rare things always make people crazy.
Since Hong Kong Hongsheng Jewelry Company is very famous in the industry, everyone easily showed their documents and entered the trading hall.
The first time they entered this bustling trading market, it was unforgettable for Nie Lingfeng, and they were just catching up with the Burmese jade to become a "crazy stone", and high-rollers from all walks of life who came to buy jade gathered, in order to prevent everyone from being crowded, the four of them had to say hello while walking.
"Are all the stones here old pit jade?" Nie Lingfeng felt the soothing aura fluctuations and asked.
"Huh!" Qin Sihai smiled slightly and said, "There are fewer and fewer jadeites in the glass of the old pit, maybe there is not a single one of them!" ”
"What?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be taken aback, according to Qin Sihai's words, this Burmese jade is really powerful! Ordinary jade has such a strong aura, if you encounter the old pit jade, wouldn't it be developed?
"You only know that jadeite is valuable, but do you know the jadeite culture?" Qin Sihai suddenly asked.
"I don't know!" Nie Lingfeng shook his head seriously, he was still relatively modest in this regard.
"For Orientals, the understanding of jade must be deeper than diamond! Chinese folk believe that jade has the meaning of auspiciousness, fortune and treasure, blessing and evil spirits, health and longevity. Over the long years, jade has evolved day by day. Jadeite is the king of jade, and diamonds, rubies, and emeralds are known as the four famous stones of the gem family. The history of jadeite entering China is not long, there is a Ming Dynasty introduction, there is also a Qing Dynasty introduction dispute. The real rise of jadeite was after the late Qing Dynasty. Due to the love of the royal aristocracy, the status of jadeite has been rising, and the people have begun to realize the rare beauty of jadeite, the value of collection, and the use of health, so that high-ranking officials and nobles will do everything possible to obtain it. At a time when jade was scarce in the mainland, with the gradual cultural exchanges between the East and the West, foreign jadeite began to appear in the palace of Chinese imperial jewelry. In this way, jadeite became a symbol of noble status. Many people think that jadeite can be passed down from generation to generation and become heirlooms, so there are many people who spend all their money to buy jadeite. More and more people are giving it as a high-end gift, so jadeite has become precious and circulated. Qin Sihai gushed endlessly.
"For health!" Nie Lingfeng finally realized another value of jade! It's true! Because I absorbed the aura in the jade, my body is now a lot stronger! Moreover, he had a clear feeling that the aura here was much stronger than that of the jade trading market in Jinling City!
"Where are we going?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be curious when he saw that the group didn't look at the stones around them, but walked straight forward.
"Now the rough stones of Haolu are all auctioned, so let's go directly to the auction center to raise the card!" Qin Sihai said.
"Auction?"
"Hmm!" Qin Sihai nodded and said, "There are two kinds of jade auctions in Myanmar, one is the open auction, that is, the auctioneer sets the reserve price, and the buyer raises a sign to bid the price. The prices of open auctions are often very high, so most jade merchants participate in the hidden bidding; The secret bid is that the jade merchant fills in the stone of his choice on the bid list, and opens the price code he is willing to give, and the seller combines the price of the buyer, and the one with the highest price is announced after the auction wins. This kind of dark label also has disadvantages, that is, the price is low, and the selected stone will fail. But if you are determined to get it, you will open a high price, and the price will be expensive. Only the wrong one is bought, not the wrong one, and the Myanmar jadeite auction is never a loss-making business! ”
"But we didn't look at the rough and went to the auction?" Nie Lingfeng said strangely.
"Hehe, Hongsheng Jewelry Store has already had pictures of various rough stones, and I have selected several rough stones in China in the past two days, so we must go to the auction first, and wait for the rest of the time, we can go down to choose some inconspicuous rough stones!"
"Oh!" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but make a new assessment of the strength of Hongsheng Jewelry Company! This jewelry store is definitely a super predator!
The story will become more and more exciting, interested book friends can collect it first, and then kill it when they are fattened! The old minister begged for collections and recommendations, and knelt down to thank you!
