Chapter 383: Mandalay's Little Gamble
Zhu Bao's family moved over, and after Wuyang invited them to dinner, when he went to their house to sit, he remembered that the gold mine in Mingyue Lake could not be mined for the time being, and it was also left to Xiaobao and Xia Damao to mine, and Maoershan was ready to distribute 4% equally to each family, and there would be no way for them to get rich quickly for a while. Thinking that he was going to Myanmar, he said, "Brother, I'll discuss something with you." ”
Zhu Shunzhi said: "Wuyang, if you have something, just say it, don't call me brother, I don't dare to do it." ”
Wuyang smiled: "I'm your brother-in-law, what's your name if you don't call your brother?" ”
Zhu Shunzhi said: "You are a big boss and a leader, outsiders hear that I am your brother, and they may not imagine what I am." Otherwise, you can call me whatever you want at home, and call me by my name when you get outside. ”
"Okay, then I'll just scream casually, don't be weird. I plan to go to Myanmar after the Chinese New Year, and the time may be a few months, to participate in the jade market. See if you're interested. ”
"What is the Jade Public Market for?"
"It is to put the jadeite stone in a large ping, and openly let the guests mark the price, and whoever pays the highest price will sell the jadeite stone to whom."
Zhu Shunzhi said, "Then what are we going to do?" ”
"We just buy wool, cut out the wool when we buy it, and sell it if there is jadeite in it to make money."
Zhu Shunzhi said: "I haven't heard of it, what are you doing?" ”
"It's simple, just do what I say. You don't have anything else to bring, just your passport. ”
"Okay, I'll get my passport tomorrow."
"Okay, let's leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you can take the note I wrote. It's going to be faster. It could be a win. ”
"I have classmates in the Public Security Bureau. That's what he did, I'm looking for him. ”
"Wuyang, I'm going too." Zhu Bei said.
"Wuyang, I'll go too." Zhu Bao said with a smile.
"I can only bring two people into the venue with one invitation, what should I do?"
Zhu Bao said: "Our sisters take turns to go in. The other one is resting at the guesthouse. ”
"Okay, you guys also apply for passports, and let's go together when the time comes."
The next day, I called Chairman Chen. Asking for marriage leave and rotational leave, Chairman Chen said: "Don't say what kind of leave you take, just say that I sent you out on a mission." But the work has to be arranged, and the agent has been arranged, and it will take as long as it takes. ”
"Then thank you for your father."
asked Zhu Qibin to go over, Zhu Qibin said: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do at the beginning of the year, so I will help you buy wool." This time, don't call the bosses in the capital, they are all coaxing, in October last year, I selected more than 30,000 yuan for each of them, and I am not happy to buy a few of them. Later, I forcibly took it away, and it was the wool used to make jade cabbage. Don't arrange for them to follow me in the future. ”
"I will criticize them. That's worth it. Qibin, they are my friends, there is no way, they have to help. This time, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so I won't tell them. Who are you going to take along? ”
"The others have to take their children, but Tong Liping can only pass."
"Okay, let's go over the second year of junior high school, let's go to the mine in Xinkeng first."
"Okay, I have to arrange for someone to prepare to go to the northwest again, and I have to make a trip."
After the lively New Year, early in the morning of the second day of the new year, 6 people set off in Yu Xiaoxiao's van. 6 people wore jeans of one color, the men's Wuyang and Qibin wore a denim jacket over a long-sleeved T-shirt, Zhu Shunzhi wore a sweater and jacket, and the women wore down jackets, after all, the temperature in Zhongnan was only 3 or 4 degrees.
Talking and laughing along the way, we arrived in Spring City at noon and Mandalay in the evening. Zhu Qibin had already arranged for people from the mine to come to pick up the plane, and when he heard that the road was not easy to walk, Wuyang decided to stay in Mandalay for one night.
Listening to Zhu Qibin say that Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar and also has a wool market, Tong Liping was anxious to go and see, and Zhu Bao and Zhu Bei were also eager to try, but they were embarrassed to speak. Wuyang said, "If you want to go, go quickly, and it will be time to close." ”
Without saying a word, the girls took off their down jackets and went out.
When I arrived at the market, the wool sellers had not yet closed. There were many people around the door, and they were all from China. "Qibin, you go to two houses, I go to two houses, let's go back to dinner."
Zhu Qibin nodded, and walked away with Tong Liping.
Wuyang came to the door of the store, and began to run the real qi to look at the wool, the situation inside is not very good, basically there is no emerald, bypassing a person squatting on the ground, but saw a piece of wool in front of him, the jade inside is particularly delicate, it should be above the ice species, so he received the true qi, look at the appearance of the wool. The appearance is still good, the gray stone, with sparse pine flowers on it, in a pile of wool, it is more outstanding.
If you look at the person squatting in front of the wool, there is a wrinkled, unshaven man, probably in his 50s or 60s, wearing a very old jacket.
Wuyang felt that it was okay to do him a favor and let him make some money, so he said, "Uncle, do you fancy this piece of wool?" What's the price? ”
"RMB 80,000. Look at it, less than 20 kilograms of wool is so expensive. Uncle said.
"Uncle, this piece of wool is okay, it should be able to produce emerald."
"Young man, you're here, aren't you? Wherever I went, some people said that I was a fellow countryman, and they sold me goods with clever words, and I was not fooled once. I was still hesitating, but now I resolutely don't. It's a shame that you speak Chinese so well. ”
Wuyang smiled: "Uncle, I am Chinese, and I just arrived, and I have nothing to do with the shopkeeper." ”
"Okay, no need to explain. You said yes, you should have money yourself, you can buy it for me. ”
"Uncle, I don't want this thing. I also have to go to Yangon to participate in the Emerald Market, with inconvenience. "Wuyang had already heard the Hong Kong and Taiwan accent in the uncle's standard Mandarin just now, and he knew that Lu Dao was a big boss, so he deliberately said so. One is to tell him that he is an expert, and the other is to provoke him to buy jadeite.
"Young man, you buy it and cut it out, and we'll buy it with you."
"Then you can't go back."
At this time, the shopkeeper spoke, "Boss, your money is yours." He didn't pay what to regret. ”
"Good. I bought it. Do you have a place to swipe your card here? ”
"This time. The banks are closed, and you can only pay in cash. The owner said.
"Then I can't negotiate business with my uncle."
"Young man, we'll have morning tea here tomorrow morning, and as long as the price is right, I'll definitely buy it."
Wuyang took out 80,000 yuan from his backpack and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Boss, please ask someone to cut it." Shunzhi, you're watching here. I'll go for another walk. ”
After Wuyang finished speaking, he took the baby sister and left. If you don't quickly go to another store and pick out the wool stone, as long as the stone cutter here rings, the customers will all come here, and only the shopkeeper will see it.
When I walked near the shop, I saw the shopkeeper picking up the black stone into the bag, the size of a duck egg, which I had seen everywhere before.
"Boss, how do you sell this kind of black hairy stone?" Wuyang bent down and picked up a piece and asked.
"100 pieces each."
"How about 50?"
"How many do you want?"
"I want everything I like, and there is no limit to the number."
"Good. You pick. As he spoke, the shopkeeper poured out the bag and took out a plastic bag for Wuyang.
The afternoon sun is really angry. There are really a lot of jadeite in it, so I picked up the surface one, found a stick and flipped it, and picked it up again. Of the 2,000 or so black duck eggs, he selected more than 20 of them.
Zhu Bao looked at Wuyang to pick up, thinking it was a black dirty thing, and later saw that his hands were not black, so he went to pick it up himself, picked up two, Wuyang saw a green, and threw away the one without cui. Zhu Bei picked up two, and Wuyang didn't throw them away.
When paying, Wuyang saw that the wool here was not performing well, and the light was dim, and the other guests just looked at it generally, and there was no one who even asked the price. Looking at the real qi, there is a small piece of wool at the side of the foot, which looks similar to the big pebbles in the river, only about a centimeter of stone layer on the surface, and the inside is all jadeite.
Zhu Bei approached, "Wuyang, I'll move if you like it." ”
Wuyang thought about it, if you can't swipe the card, you can't buy it, and it's in vain to see it. There are also a few pieces of emerald, which can only be counted.
"No, let's go. Boss, this kind of wool can also produce emerald? ”
"It's not clear whether you can get out of the cui, and it all depends on luck to gamble on stones. Some spend 200 pieces to cut out 20 million jadeite, and some spend 2 million yuan, and cut out a pile of stone slag. Boss, I think you are a rich man, buy this piece of wool, it's not expensive, two thousand yuan. ”
"I'll play with it for 1,000 yuan."
"1,000 yuan is not good, how about 1500?"
"1200, I want it."
"Take it. It's closed, I want to buy it and come back tomorrow. ”
After paying, Zhu Bei picked up the wool and was elated, "Wuyang, I want this piece of wool, I'm lucky, I'll definitely be able to cut out the jade." ”
Wuyang whispered: "I have to sell it when I cut it out, we have a lot of it at home, so there is no need to bring it back so far." ”
"Okay, pay back your capital, plus 100 yuan of hard work."
"Xiaobei, you're too powerful, I'm such a big boss, that's the price? No, 100,000. ”
"Don't be so deceitful, you take 100,000, didn't I work hard in vain?"
"Okay, let's drop one by one, you take 100,000, and then give Bao'er 100,000, and the rest is Shunzhi. What do you think? ”
Belle said, "No, they have 100,000 yuan each, and the rest is mine." ”
When I arrived at the stone cutting room of the first house, the wool I bought just now was still cutting, and there were more than 10 onlookers. Wuyang borrowed a stone polishing machine from the boss and began to rub the stones.
The wool is irregular oval and not easy to fix, so Wuyang has to hold it with one hand and step on it with one foot to help stabilize it. Rub for a few minutes and rinse with a rubber hose. In less than an hour, he had already wiped everything here by the time the first piece of wool began to rub the stone.
The people next to him had been arguing and shouting, and he didn't care what they said, when the uncle just now came over and smiled at him, "Young man, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." Can you sell me this piece of jadeite? ”
Wuyang said: "Yes, uncle, we have to follow the rules, and the one with the highest price will get it." Do you still have any other bidders? ”
"Young man, what price do you want to sell?"
Wuyang held the jade high, "Let's see, this is the yang green of the glass species, which is about 9 kilograms and nearly 25 centimeters long. Everyone is an expert and should know the way. You can carve 15 bracelets. Other pendants, rings, etc. At least hundreds. If you are interested in buying, please bid, and I will sell it if the price is right. ”
"Young man, little boss, do you want to ask in yuan or dollars?"
"Let's press the yuan." Wuyang estimates that most of these 10 or so people are domestic and should not be a group of people.
The uncle said, "I'll give 70 million." ”
A woman in her 30s raised her hand, "I'll give 80 million." ”
Wuyang saw that the bracelet on her wrist was a glass emerald bracelet. is worth more than 10 million, and he should be a rich man.
A tall and fat middle-aged man said, "90 million." ”
The psychological price of Wuyang is 90 million, this piece of jade is too short, and the thickness is not suitable, and if it is thicker, you can carve 3 bracelets, and now it looks like this, only one can be carved. A little thinner, a little longer. You can also carve more bracelets, and now they are sold at the best price in China. It's a bracelet. Pendants rarely exceed 2 million.
The woman with the bracelet said, "I'll add another 2 million." High I quit. ”
"Are there any other bidders? Gone? No, I put it down. ”
Wuyang approached the woman, "Sister, this piece of jade is yours." You can't swipe the card today, let's swipe the card tomorrow to deliver it. ”
"Good. Which hotel are you staying in? ”
After Wuyang said the name of the hotel, the other party smiled and said: "It is the best hotel in Mandalay, and I am there too." My name is Huang Yuanyuan, and my family is in the jewelry business. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Wuyang shook it gently, "I'm Li Wuyang, working in a state-owned enterprise. There are also people in the family who do this business. Sister, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Office workers? No wonder you came out in the second year of junior high school, and with this income this time, you don't have to go to work, you are a rich man. Huang Yuanyuan said.
Wuyang smiled: "Eldest sister, this is not mine, it is my friend's." The piece on the ground that is being wiped is ......"
"It's mine." Zhu Bao said and gave the plastic bag he was carrying to Wuyang.
"Yes, my friend's, too. They were sisters, and that was their brother. These duck eggs are mine, I'll wipe a piece and see. ”
"Two little sisters, you're in luck. How about selling that piece to me, too? Just pay together tomorrow. Huang Yuanyuan said.
"Big sister, are you still doing as you were just now?" Zhu Bao said.
Huang Yuanyuan said with a smile: "Little sister, I won't let you suffer." ”
Wuyang is wiping the black duck eggs, Zhu Shunzhi is guarding the rubbing stones, the three of them are chatting, and the time flies very fast. By the time the first piece of jade was completely wiped out, it was dark for a while, and it was already more than 9 o'clock.
Wuyang stopped wiping the black duck eggs and handed the plastic bag to Zhu Bao, where Zhu Shunzhi had already started the auction. This is a slightly rectangular jadeite, about 25 centimeters long, 18 centimeters wide, 8 centimeters thick, about 20 kilograms of ice yang green jadeite, the color is very uniform, that is, a little thicker.
"Bosses, let's bid." Zhu Shunzhi is shouting.
The tall and fat middle-aged man said, "I'll give 100 million." ”
The uncle said, "I'll add 10 million." ”
Huang Yuanyuan shouted: "I will give 130 million." ”
The uncle said, "I'll add another 8 million." ”
After waiting for a while, Zhu Shunzhi asked, "Is there any other bidder?" If not, the deal will be closed. ”
Wuyang Zhilu said that the price was low, but Zhu Shunzhi's words had already been exported and could not be recovered.
The uncle stretched out his hand and touched the jade for a while, and smiled at Wuyang: "Little boss, I listened to you at the time, as long as 80,000, I don't have the guts." ”
Wuyang said: "Uncle, nine out of ten bets are lost, it's better to be so safe." This jadeite can be opened for 24 bracelets, and you still have to earn. ”
The uncle smiled: "To tell you the truth, it is at least 10 million US dollars cheaper than at the Jade Public Market Conference." ”
"Are you from Hong Kong or Taiwan Province?"
"I'm Chinese, little boss, don't ask. I also stay in the same hotel, and I will pay for it tomorrow. You can rest assured, it is also a card of Bank of China. ”
A few people walked out as they spoke, and Zhu Bao took out a small jade from the plastic bag and said, "Wuyang, this is really a duck egg, you see, this is not an egg yolk." ”
Zhu Bei said: "This yellow duck egg is laid by a duck that eats feed, and the wild duck egg is more beautiful than this yellow, yellow with red." ”
Huang Yuanyuan said: "This is chanterelle yellow, which is already the best yellow." ”
Wuyang smiled: "That little green egg is the real best, the emerald of the glass species." You keep it for pendants, rings, necklaces, and so on. ”
Zhu Shunzhi said: "Wuyang, you go forward, I'll go to see if Qibin and they're gone." ”
"Okay, let's walk slowly and wait for them in the car. Sister Huang, I'm in for a treat, let's have dinner together. ”
"Thank you, you're welcome, there are a lot of you, I like to be quiet. See you tomorrow morning. Huang Yuanyuan smiled and walked quickly.
Zhu Bao said: "Wuyang, this is not a dream, right? Tens of thousands of dollars, in exchange for 200 million? ”
Wuyang said: "You haven't seen the real gambling stones, hundreds of thousands, millions of them have turned into gravel in an instant, and there are times when the income is higher." Baby, have you exercised? ”
"Just kidding, we run every day, practice qigong and dumbbells, you look at me, it's much stronger than before, and Belle is even more powerful."
"Okay, when it comes to the public conference, you have to walk for a few hours every day, and you can test the results of your workouts."
"Wuyang, you go back and help Qi Bin, he bought a big jadeite, he can't carry it alone, and I can't carry it." Zhu Shunzhi said breathlessly.
"Good. You two follow me, your martial arts are not good yet, I'm afraid of being robbed. Shunzhi, you go and call a car to come over, it's hard to carry it so far. ”
When I walked to the store where Zhu Qibin was, I saw two people sitting on something covered with sheets, "Qibin, where is Jade?" ”
Zhu Qibin patted the sheets, "It's here." The wealth was not revealed, so I had to buy a sheet and wrap it up. ”
"How can there be such a big wool here?"
"The wool between the two families is separated by these, and the one I fancy is the one that is closest to the outside for people to sit on. As soon as I came, I took a fancy to it, and the boss offered 200,000 yuan, but I didn't make a counteroffer. ”
"It's too big, no one buys it here."
"I know that I don't plan to sell it. Big brother, do you know what kind of water this is, what color it is? (To be continued......)
