Chapter 126: Witt Qiang Buys Jade
When he was still on the way, he received a call from Ouyang Qi, saying that he and his boss were staying in the hotel and hoped to meet tomorrow. Wuyang said that there was no problem, and he would definitely come back on time.
Back at home, it was already dinner time, and the chef had already been notified that the meal was ready. The people who returned to Lujiang except for Wang Bin left, everyone else had dinner at home. Before eating, his grandfather told Wuyang that Wang Bin had brought some metal back from the gold mine and put it in a small wooden box in the basement. Wuyang went to take a look, there was a lot of metal, but the rarest metal was only a small bag, about 70 kilograms.
Xiaobao took out two necklaces, which were two necklaces of size made of that kind of metal, and the jadeite had been inlaid, only the diamonds were inlaid. Xiaobao said that 10 of each type have been made. Wuyang said that after dinner, he would go and get the diamond.
After the meal, Xiao Xiao sent Xiaohui's parents home, and everyone went back to the villa. Wuyang asked Chen Mingfang to pass on the company's gold and jewelry stores across the country to Xiao Qimei. I drove to Stone Villa, Qiu Xiaomu and they were still having dinner. Xiao Mu told: "Now Boss Mao's jadeite production has increased significantly, and four more cars have been purchased for transportation, basically every other day, two cars will send jadeite over." Under these circumstances, the brothers could not be brought to Burma, and at least four people had to be left at home to unload the trucks. ”
Wuyang said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go, when the time comes, you can help them buy the same amount of wool, and after the cut jadeite is sold, just put the money on their card." Let Zhang Yibo be in charge at home. ”
Xiao Mu said: "That's exactly how it was arranged. ”
Wuyang saw a lot of granite piled up in the ping, and asked Xiao Mu what was going on, and Xiao Mu said, "Grandpa Zhang arranged for the Mo family to send it over." and has been in contact with Zhou Dian. In a few days, the pond inside the stone villa will be built. Use granite to build a railing, the whole ping is directly paved with granite on the soil floor, only use fine sand to fill the joint, do not use cement, so that it will not affect the penetration of rainwater, will not affect the growth of trees, and the granite is damaged in the future, and it can also be replaced casually.
Wuyang said, "Let's just wait until all these are done before we move in." You'd better run for a while. ”
Xiaomu said: "Now that you are back, we will go back one after another to recruit people and apply for passports." I don't know how long our passports have been issued. ”
Wuyang said: "As long as you allow, you can do it for as long as you can." ”
After speaking, he entered the treasure room where the diamonds were collected, took out the diamonds he needed, put them in the car, and asked Xiao Mu to call someone to carry some red, blue, and yellow jadeite to the treasure room where the yellow jadeite was originally placed, so that there were many jadeite, but there was no green one, and it still looked a little monotonous. I went to carry a few more pieces of ice and put them together.
It's finally over. Invite them to go home together. Xiao Mu handed over the car to Zhang Yibo and took Wuyang's car home.
On the road. Xiao Mu said: "The last time Boss Chen's people came over, they said that the Myanmar government is now more and more strict on wool smuggling, although it will not affect Boss Chen's wool transportation, but we have been pulling it for a long time every time, after all, it is not a long-term solution, we must think of a way." ”
Wuyang said, "What are you going to think of?" ”
"I wonder if we can build a warehouse on the Chinese side of the Yunnan-Myanmar border, so that their transportation time can be shortened by more than half, so that they can transport as much wool as possible, and we can also reduce the cost of freight," Xiaomu said. ”
"Okay, that's a good idea. Let's go over this time, let's think of a way. ”
When he returned home, he handed the diamond to Xiaobao, who said, "I will cut and set it tonight, and I can take it with me when my sister-in-law leaves." ”
Wuyang said: "You just need to make the small ones, and you can't let them take them out of the country if you make the big ones, so you just have to excuse yourself for not doing a good job." ”
Xiaobao smiled: "I have already talked about it at dinner just now, how to make them believe, you can justify yourself." ”
"There won't be any shortage of them, I made it clear last time." Wuyang said.
took a bath, and then injected true qi into Xiaoya and Mingfang. After several days of continuous input of true qi to his wives, Wuyang can now use his left and right hands to input the two of them at the same time. Sometimes I also help Mengyu luck, Mengyu's progress is very great, he has opened up a lot of meridians, and he wants Wuyang to help open up the second vein of Rendu, Wuyang doesn't dare to do it, and says that one day invite grandpa to come.
Xiaoya smiled and drove Wuyang out, saying that you have been holding back for a few days, hurry up and make love with the big-bellied sisters, we can't solve the problem for you. You're gone, we're going to surf the Internet quietly.
When they arrived at Xiaohui's villa, Huang Li, Mengxin and Liu Rong were all there, all wearing suspenders, revealing snow-white shoulders and deep cleavage. The wives are used to this kind of occasion and actively cooperate with him.
Liu Rong was still a little reserved at the beginning, and then Wuyang called her Xiaorong in the boudoir, and then she became the same as her wives, she has been in Zhongnan for so long, and she has not washed her face, but her skin is significantly better than before, and everyone can feel this change.
Huang Li was sitting next to the computer and was video chatting with Wu Fang and Pei Lei, beckoning Wuyang to come over, and Wuyang hugged her and sat on her lap and chatted with the two.
Wuyang said, "Didn't you say that I was surprised when I came back?" I'm back now, isn't there really any surprise? ”
Pei Lei said: "For you, maybe it's not a surprise, but the test results of both of us are out, both of us are pregnant with boys, and everything is normal with mother and son." ”
"Of course it was a surprise, I had two sons all at once."
Wu Fang said: "The other is that in the past 10 days, we have found 6 doctors and two postdocs for you, and we have negotiated with them, and we will return to China to work in the company immediately." ”
Wuyang said: "What majors do they study? Is it a talent that our company urgently needs. ”
Wu Fang said: "We did it according to Xie Jiliang's requirements, two of them studied architecture, and two studied steel smelting. 3 are studying business administration. There is also a study of ocean transportation. Originally, he had been hired as a second officer by a shipping company in Hong Kong. The annual salary is 50,000 US dollars, and we promise the position of general manager of the shipping company, with an annual salary of 80,000 US dollars, and if the work performance is good, he will definitely raise the salary in the future, so he decided to come over, and now he has started to choose ships for us. One of the postdocs studying architecture, while studying for a master's degree. Together with the mentor, I designed the ocean deep-water wharf and organized the construction for a year, this time they are ready to organize the personnel and ask for the contract of our deep-water wharf, from geological exploration to design to organization construction to put into use. Xie said they were asking for two deep-water terminals with a capacity of 600,000 tonnes per day, and they offered $500 million each, including a 50-year premium with Britain's largest insurer. We felt that it was possible to sign a contract. ”
"What do they do with building materials and construction workers?"
"The procurement of building materials will be ordered under the supervision of insurance companies, and even they only have the right to make recommendations. The recruitment of construction workers requires us to select 2,000 people by June 15. They were training for two months, just in time for construction to begin at the end of August. We were also asked to select the address of the terminal in the country by the end of June. After they had surveyed the geology in Brazil, they came over to explore. ”
"Are they teachers and students who have the ability to carry out such a large project construction?" Wuyang asked.
Wu Fang smiled: "This is the difference between the systems of China and the United States. In the United States, a university professor can become the president of a large company when he walks out of school, and a retired general can become the president. This is unimaginable in China. ”
"It's not exactly what you say. Isn't Pei Lei's father also working in our company now? When they come, I'll arrange for someone to receive them. Don't waste their time. ”
"As long as you agree, I pay them ten million dollars and they start working, and they don't necessarily need to go over. After the domestic terminal address is chosen, they can go to work in the past, so as not to lose time. The others arrived on the 10th. Wu Fang said. In the end, I have been a vice president for a few months, and these aspects have been exercised.
"Xiaolei, have you made me money during this time?"
Pei Lei smiled: "You are really a little money fan. Don't say a word about your wife, you can see that it is business and making money. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Didn't I leave a few wives for my son." Who let us have so many sons? ”
"There you have it! Let me tell you, after you bought gold futures with your last money, there was only $7.8 billion left, and after our operation during this time, the profit exceeded 15%. Gold has been rising, it has already exceeded $900 per ounce, do the math yourself, what is the gain? Pei Lei said.
Wuyang said: "Did the other sisters and Xiaomu make money? What I'm most concerned about is the money from my father's foundation, how is it now? ”
"Dad's money earned more than 1.1 billion US dollars in the last wave, and he has made a lot of money in the past ten days, with total assets of more than 50 billion yuan. I know you're worried about risk, but now we're buying information from an investment analytics firm, and we operate on the basis of the information they provide on a daily basis, and their information is quite accurate, even down to tens of cents a day. Last month we were on trial for a month, and from this month we have signed a formal contract until 4/30/97. Pei Lei said.
"How do you take that long? How much is it per month? ”
"If it is set once a year, then in the future, our share capital will increase, and the payment will also increase, and we are now only below 10 billion US dollars in share capital, and the monthly payment is 100,000 US dollars, which is not very high, and it is a family to buy, so many households, it is quite cost-effective."
"Dad has officially retired, and he is about to set up a foundation, now is the time to recruit troops, and he won't need too much money, and after a while, he will need funds, and he will definitely have to take out some of it then." Wuyang said.
Pei Lei said: "When the time comes, all the old capital will be withdrawn, and the remaining profits will be operated in the futures market. ”
"It's for the best. Okay, let's stop talking, they'll be over in a few days, and ask them to bring you two necklaces. After a flying kiss, he went offline and left.
On the morning of the 6th, Wuyang went to the hotel to pick up Ouyang Qi and his boss Mr. Werther, as well as the auctioneer of the Beijing Auction House, and went to Stone Villa. Although the auctioneer spoke from the standpoint of Wuyang last time, after Werther returned, the prices offered by other merchants far exceeded the price he estimated. I think the auctioneer is still reliable. This time I was invited again.
After asking Qiu Xiaomu to open the door of the treasure room. Werther invited Wuyang to go out, saying that if he was there, it would have an impact on the auctioneer's valuation. Wuyang had no choice but to walk away with Xiaomu and go to see them rubbing stones.
The cut wool in the stone villa is basically wiped off, only the piece of more than 60 tons and the piece of 3 tons are left, and the other piece is the glass imperial green with bamboo style inside, and the afternoon sun is ready to carve it into ornaments. Xiao Mu has already transferred the forklift driver to transport wool from the back mountain to cut stones.
Aunt Tan's wife, Uncle Tan, has already come over. It is a sturdy pulsatilla. Wuyang was not slow to see him cutting stones. Against a piece of large wool, 5 cm and 5 cm a knife forward, cut a knife, and poured it with water, which is quite orderly.
After watching it for a while, Aunt Tan came over and invited him in for tea. As soon as she entered the door and sat down, the lotus sister-in-law handed over the tea. After Wuyang thanked him, he chatted about family life.
Wuyang asked their mother-in-law how much salary they had every month, and Aunt Tan told her: "I have 1,200, and lotus has 1,500." Now the family has an income of more than 10,000 yuan a month. Not a lot. ”
That day, I saw that the lotus sister-in-law was pushing a bicycle to buy vegetables, and Wuyang asked, "Sister-in-law." You don't know how to drive a motorcycle, or buy a motorcycle to buy groceries. ”
Although Lotus's son is in the fourth grade of primary school, he still blushes when he speaks, "Boss Li, although you can drive a motorcycle, you don't have a driver's license, so you don't dare to drive it in the city." ”
"Do you think the salary is right?" Wuyang actually didn't know who set the salary of Lu Dao, and he felt a little lower.
"Boss Li, although the salary is not high, we don't need to spend money on food and accommodation, and the family can still be together, which is already good." Lotus said.
"I'll talk to them and see if I can add a little more." After Wuyang finished speaking, he got up and left, wanting to have a look at the processing plant on the mountain.
When we arrived at the construction site of the processing plant, the building had been completed. On the ridge there is a bungalow and two small two-story buildings lined up, the scaffolding has been removed, and the outer wall is a long strip of stone cut out of the stone mountain, without any painting. The bungalow is being installed with a crane in the building area of about 800 square meters, the doors on both sides are wide open, it is very convenient to transport wool and gravel, and the road leading to the warehouse in the back of the mountain is the whole stone lawn.
The two buildings are the same floor area as the bungalows, but they are small rooms that have been painted and can be used as long as the furniture and tools are bought. Zhou Dian was not there, and Wuyang was not very familiar with the workers, so he didn't go to the warehouse site in the mountains behind him.
The two dormitory buildings, about 100 meters apart, have been built to the 8th floor and capped, and it seems that there will be no problem in completing them in May.
Forklifts on the road carry wool from time to time, and the sound of cutting stones and rubbing stones in the villa comes and goes, and it is rare to have quiet times during the day. After turning around for a while, he felt that Ouyang Qi and the others should have studied it almost, so he returned to the treasure room.
Ouyang Qi and the three of them stopped the discussion when they saw Wuyang coming in.
"Mr. Li, how much do you think is the right amount of these jadeite?" Witt asked.
"Mr. Werther, we'd better not come to the sky-high price and pay the money on the spot. Teacher Xi must have made an estimate just now, so let's have as much as it should be. ”
"1.5 billion." Witt said. Wuyang shook his head.
"1.8 billion is good." Witt continued to quote, and Wuyang continued to shake his head, raising his legs to leave. He knew the weight and grade of these 20 pieces of jadeite, except for the two yellow ones, which were slightly inferior, and any piece of jade could be decomposed and carved into jadeite objects worth more than 1.5 billion yuan. Now that he has someone to carve it, he is not in a hurry to ask for money, and as soon as Werther changed his previous temperament and bargained like this, he felt a little unhappy, so he was ready to go out and not talk about it.
"Mr. Li, don't leave yet, our boss is sincere in buying these jadeites. Can you make a bid to see if we can get along. Ouyang Qi said.
"Okay, then I'll make a bid. These jadeite, less than 3 billion euros are not sold. Wuyang said.
"Mr. Li, is this price too high? If Mr. Witte buys it back for 3 billion euros, there will be no profit at all. Xi auctioneer said.
Wuyang felt that Teacher Xi must have received the promise of Werther or Ouyang Qi this time, or he was afraid of losing their trust, so this time his ass was completely on their side. Of course, the fact that what I promised was not fulfilled is also a reason. The price of these jadeites is around 2.2 billion euros, and if Witt bids 2.2 billion at the beginning, it will definitely be sold, and maybe 2.1 billion will also be sold. But now listening to Mr. Xi's tone, the price can definitely be raised.
"Gentlemen, we are all insiders, we are very aware of the price and market of jadeite, these jadeite are stored in the warehouse, and the price will definitely be fine by 10% next year, or even higher. So I made a bid of 3 billion euros for the sake of Mr. Witte coming from afar and sending me equipment. Since Mr. Xi said so, I will reduce it by 50 million euros. ”
"Mr. Li, you are a real expert. The estimate of the price of jadeite is so accurate, I am convinced. Mr. Witte, if you buy it and bring it back to Europe, the estimate should be around 3.5 billion euros. Xi auctioneer said.
Witt smiled and said: "Mr. Li, the last time I traded with you, I saw that you agreed very happily, I thought I could still lower the price at that time, so I went from low price to high price this time, but I didn't expect that I just reported it twice today, and you won't talk about it." Mr. Li, it seems that you are a real happy person, and we will quote directly in the future. Today, we will make a deal according to the 2.95 billion euros you said, but if you want to find a way to ship it to our country, Mr. Ouyang will stay and settle with you, including the equipment payment. ”
Wuyang said with a smile: "I should help you consign, but I really haven't handled the international consignment business yet, Mr. Ouyang, you shouldn't have handled it and haven't handled it." ”
"I really haven't handled it, but it doesn't matter, you make a wooden box and pack it, just send it to the capital, and I'll do the rest." Mr. Lai, you give me the key to this room, and you and Mr. Witt go to the bank to transfer money. Ouyang Qi said.
Wuyang thought to himself, anyway, there will be a car to go to the capital in a few days, and one more car will be needed one day. Lock the door, hand over the key to Ouyang Qi, and a few people came out. When they arrived in the ping, they saw that the stone cutter master was cutting and rubbing the stone, Witt and Teacher Xi walked over quickly and watched the jade rub out. Wuyang talked to Qiu Xiaomu about increasing the salary of Aunt Tan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and both of them would be paid 2,000 yuan. He also arranged for him to go to the timber company to buy pine wood, sawn it into boards and squares respectively, and asked the carpenter to nail it into boxes and pack the jadeite. Xiao Mu got the order and drove away.
"Mr. Werther, I have some time now, so let's send you and Teacher Xi to the hotel first." Wuyang started the car and let the two of them get into the car.
"Mr. Li, can you wait a minute, can you sell me this piece of jadeite?" This is the piece of wool that Uncle Tan cut just now, and now it is almost rubbed out, it is imperial green of the glass species, weighing more than 60 kilograms.
"Mr. Werther, I don't sell this piece of jadeite, this is the best piece of jade in my house, and if I sell it, I won't be there. I will carve them into bracelets, necklaces, etc., and give them to my relatives. Wuyang said. Now that Werther has become cunning, wouldn't he suffer a big loss if he was so stupid.
"Mr. Li, you are still young, there will be many opportunities to encounter this kind of jadeite in the future, sell it to me today." Witt said.
"Mr. Li, you are in this business, since Mr. Witt has taken a fancy to it, as long as the price is right, you should sell it to him." Teacher Xi said.
"Mr. Witt, aren't you going to Burma soon? I'll go too. If I find this high-grade jadeite, I will definitely sell it to you. I'd better keep this piece. Wuyang said.
"This kind of jadeite is something that is hard to find, and since I came across it today, I don't want to miss it. Mr. Li, you can make an offer. Witt said.
"Mr. Witt, I really don't want to sell. If I stay and sell the carved objects, I can lead the domestic high-end jadeite for 20 years. If it is given to relatives, it will be a great fortune. Wuyang said.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Witt, I think this is good, Mr. Li, you sell the jade to Mr. Witt, Mr. Witt, you will make the price higher. Isn't that in the interest of both parties? Teacher Xi said.
"Mr. Li, I'll make a price, if you sell it, I'll take it happily, if you don't sell it, I'll take it forcibly." (To be continued......)
