Chapter Ninety-One: Bidding for the Big Mac
On the fifth day of the dark bidding, when I went out in the morning, Wuyang asked Mao Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaomu to discuss, the wool that the two of you bid for should only be opened on the sixth day, is it better to cut the same amount of wool for you today, anyway, the price of these wool materials is about the same.
Qiu Xiaomu had been waiting for a long time in his heart, and said: "That's not good, you have already paid for these wool, and I don't know if our wool can be hit." ”
Wuyang said: "It's good to say that the payment is good, our brothers will settle the accounts, and before the stone will be cut, you will register the wool number you want, and then compare it with the documents made by the trading center, isn't it a penny?" As for whether the wool can be hit in the future, it doesn't matter. These wool materials were originally given to Boss Ji, and they regretted not letting us accept it, making money, which is equivalent to a white inspection, besides, between us, whoever takes it makes money, so there is no need to divide it so clearly. ”
When he arrived at the trading center, Wuyang gave Mao Xiaoshan 100 yuan, and Qiu Xiaomu more than 30 yuan, asked them to register the number, and asked the staff to cut for themselves, Mao Xiaoshan, and Qiu Xiaomu. I have already told Mr. Cao in advance that the three of them will cut first, and the three of them can help everyone after they are finished.
Today started early, and the wool was first cut off by the staff on 5 sides, so the speed was very fast. Today, the organizing committee has added more than 30 personnel who specialize in rubbing stones, and the speed is even faster. Although there are many owners of wool, and the speed of cutting and rubbing stones is fast, the work is busy. It can be seen that the level of the organizers is very high. At half past eight, there were only hand-held stone cutters and stone rubbers making Mao Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaomu's wool. By 9 o'clock, when someone else wanted to wipe the stone, their stone rubbing was almost finished. The auction process is also nearing its end.
Qiu Xiaomu is not much. The auction will be sold first. The afternoon sun could have been faster. Because they went to get two cards for Mao Xiaoshan, they were delayed a little. After the three of them finished, they began to help Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao himself sat in the bank to collect money, Xiao Mu took the merchants who bought the jadeite back and forth, and Wuyang assisted in the auction and guarded the jadeite, and he was also busy. It was over at 10 o'clock.
Mao Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaomu were busy checking the numbers and counting the price of wool for 40 minutes. returned the cost of Wuyang to him. Counting the results, Mr. Cao's net profit exceeded 900 million euros, Qiu Xiaomu was nearly 140 million euros, and the money on Mao Xiaoshan's two cards was about the same, both of which were about 180 million euros.
When Mao Xiaoshan took the two cards and the passbook, Wuyang saw that his hands were trembling slightly, so he said, "Brother Mao, don't be nervous, no one will say anything about our today." Besides. The money we won back from gambling on stones was not smuggling and drug trafficking. It is not bribery, and there is no provision in the country's law that gambling is prohibited. ”
Mao Xiaoshan handed over a set of passbooks and cards, "You can send this yourself." He often said that I can't let these things mess with my heart, and if I go, I may even have my own confiscated. ”
Wuyang thought about it, although he received bracelets and other things at home last time, but it was a matter between the old man and the leader of the family, can he object? This time it may be better to "save the country by curve". He took back a set of passbooks and cards, "Put them here for me, and then talk about them later." ”
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Qiu Xiaomu asked.
Wuyang smiled, "Xiaomu, don't call me boss, I won't be your boss in the future, just call me Xiaoli or Wuyang." You are so rich now, I will still call you Xiaomu in the future. By the way, Boss Ji, there are more than 400 numbers they don't want, did you take them and divide them? ”
Qiu Xiaomu shook his hand again and again, "Don't want it, don't want it." ”
Teacher Cao also said: "I resolutely don't want to. ”
Mao Xiaoshan said: "Xiao Li, otherwise you might as well cut it out and transport it back, there are only more than 100 pieces of jadeite cut out of the original marked wool, and you can transport it back with a full car." ”
Wuyang thought to himself, if more than 400 and nearly 500 numbers continue to be in the whole country, the average of 40 kilograms per piece is 20 tons, and it is more than an average of 40 kilograms. Just get two cars. Pull it back, not to mention the price increase of jadeite, it is enough for 10 years for your jewelry store.
"That's fine, anyway, the organizing committee promised free shipping, but the insurance fee is quite a lot. Otherwise, we will go to the airline to charter a large cargo plane with Chairman Qin and Boss Qiu. Wuyang said.
"The large cargo plane is only about 120 tons, and it can fit you, Chairman Qin and Director Zhou about the same. I think it's better to ask the organizing committee to come forward to rent a cargo plane, even if it's not free, at least it will save us a lot of trouble. Qiu Xiaomu said.
Several people agreed, and they didn't know anyone else, so they went to the person in charge, and after telling him, the person in charge said, "I will submit your application to the organizing committee, and I will inform you immediately if I have a reply." ”
Wuyang said: "You have done a lot of things for us in the past few days, shall we invite you to dinner at noon today?" ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the organizing committee has strict rules, and I can't accept your invitation. However, you are an affirmation of our work, and I will report to the organizing committee. ”
Wuyang called Boss Qiu to invite them to dinner, and Boss Qiu said that he was now in the bid opening hall. Boss Ji and the three of them, just now completed the consignment procedures, have returned to Yangon, it is estimated that they will go to Thailand in the afternoon to play or return to China. Their bowels were blue this time.
Wuyang said: They must have made a lot of money this time, and there is nothing to regret.
At noon one day, after lunch, a group of them walked into the gate of the trading center after dinner, and the person in charge ran over to him, pulled him aside and said, "Mr. Li, according to your suggestion, the organizing committee has decided to auction that big piece of wool this afternoon." The auction will take place at 1:30 a.m. You're the last to be notified, and you're ready to go in now. ”
Wuyang followed him to the warehouse, the door of the warehouse was open, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw several people watching by the side of the big wool, and made a few comments from time to time. Most of them are Oriental, and listen to their accents, some are from Hong Kong, some are from Taiwan, and some speak English. It is estimated that it is overseas Chinese. There is also a Japanese. Praise in Japanese. The other is two Westerners, one tall and one short.
Wuyang has basically seen these people in the trading center, and he knows that they are all here to participate in the public market. Since he was not interested in big wool, Wuyang went to the conference table and sat down to watch the excitement.
A rectangular conference table covered with a grass-green military blanket, with three chairs at one end and a large-screen television behind the chairs, which is broadcasting the mining and transportation process of large wool and the comments of experts. The reviews are in Burmese with subtitles in English and Chinese below the TV. Next to the TV. There is also a set of gongs for auction.
Wuyang saw a plastic plaque with his name written in Chinese and English placed behind the top of the table, just opposite the three chairs in front of him. I had no intention of participating, and I didn't care about the last seat.
Next to him was the Japanese man's seat. Seeing the afternoon sun sit down, the Japanese also sat down. The two talked a few words, and Wuyang asked what he thought of this big wool. The man said: This thing looks quite fascinating, but after thinking about it carefully, the problem arises, if it is not jadeite, then there is too much money. If it's jadeite inside, it's a pity to cut it. If you don't cut it, will you build a big house to store it?
Wuyang smiled, it turned out that there were people who thought the same as himself.
After a while, Wuyang saw Boss Chen and a man in military uniform walk in, followed by the person in charge and another person.
The people who looked at the wool hurriedly came over and stood at the table, and the people sitting in the afternoon sun quickly stood up, and everyone applauded together. The person in charge said: "This is the Minister of Mines of the Union of Myanmar and the President of the Federal Jade Association; These are the two vice-presidents of the Federal Jade Association. They came today, first, to auction this piece of wool, and secondly, to preside over the closing ceremony of the public market. I now give the floor to the Minister. ”
After another round of applause, the minister began to speak. First of all, welcome everyone to come, contribute to the jade market, and hope that everyone will also make a fortune; The second is to ask everyone here to actively participate in the auction of large wool.
Boss Chen also spoke: Whoever bids for this piece of wool will be the permanent invitation object of the Federal Jade Association, and the association will issue a certificate, record it in the file, and give all the conveniences permitted by the law.
The person in charge of the auction then announced: the starting price is 10 million euros, and you can increase the price at will.
At first, the offer was enthusiastic, but soon it reached 50 million, and only one Chinese was left to compete with the tall white man. When the price was 80 million, the Japanese next to Wuyang raised his card once, and the white man immediately raised his card and quoted 100 million euros.
After a pause, the auctioneer had already shouted "100 million euros for the second time", and the white man said: "Who in the East has this courage?" Don't shout. "It was said in English, it was quite loud, and the audience could hear it clearly.
Wuyang immediately raised the sign and also said in English: "Add 1 million." ”
The white man immediately raised his card, "Add 10 million." ”
Wuyang followed up with the sign, "Add 1 million." ”
When it reached 131 million, the white people directly quoted 150 million, and Wuyang added another 1 million.
The white man asked angrily: "Sir, why are you adding 1 million at a time, is it to raise the price?" ”
Wuyang immediately said: "I want to protest to the organizing committee. What the auctioneer announced just now is to increase the price at will, and it is my freedom to add as much as I want. You have no right to interfere with my freedom. ”
Another vice-president, who sat next to the minister, said: "The protest is valid, there is freedom to increase the price here." ”
The white man immediately got up and left, and the little white man followed.
At this time, everyone applauded enthusiastically. The Japanese next to him said, "You fought for us Orientals, thank you." ”
The minister and the two vice presidents came to shake hands with him, congratulated him, filled out the certificate and presented it to him, and several people left, and then everyone dispersed. It took less than half an hour before and after.
At this time, he and the person in charge were left in the warehouse, and the person in charge said: "Mr. Li, you have made great contributions to our public conference this time, and the organizing committee has contacted the transport plane for you, and you can return to China tomorrow morning." Now let's transfer money together, shall we? ”
Wuyang pointed to the big wool and said, "Can this be loaded into an airplane?" ”
"No, no, this one is too tall, and it's not easy to use a crane, so you can only use this car to transport it." said the person in charge.
"I haven't checked the winning bid for the wool I bid yet, can I check the payment after 5 o'clock?"
"No problem. You make a list of all your wool and jadeite, and we will follow the list. Will be delivered to you at the location you provide with the original list. There will be no mistakes. ”
Wuyang Zhilu Dao will soon have to get busy. Although the wool that won the bid yesterday has been cut out in the morning. But those are the parts that Boss Ji doesn't want, that is, theirs and today's winning bid have not come out, and the wool they bid for has not been cut out of a piece, it is more than 300 pieces, and the wool is relatively large, with an average of more than 600 kilograms per piece, which is 200 tons, plus the jadeite cut out. More than 300 tons, I still want to bring it back to Chairman Qin and Director Zhou.
"Sir, I would like to ask, if my wool and jadeite exceed the weight, can I ask your organizing committee to arrange personnel to help me cut them out tonight?" Wuyang asked.
"No problem, as long as it's your request, we'll do our best to accommodate it. But Mr. Li, can you now check out the wool that has won the bid in the past few days, and we can cut out a part of it immediately. Isn't it necessary to wait all until the evening? ”
Wuyang smiled, what a smart life. Confused for a while.
So immediately transferred the payment of the big wool, and went to inquire about the winning bid a few days ago, after the results came out, Wuyang found that only one piece was not voted, that is, it was for the boss Ji to fill in the 1.2 million euros, the wool has about 800 kilograms, which is glass, jadeite has more than 200 kilograms, at that time Boss Ji did not want, he did not change the amount, if he chose for himself, the price must be more than 3 million euros, but it is a pity.
A few days ago, there were already 320 pieces of wool that won the bid this morning, and only more than 10 pieces did not come out, which is no longer important. After the transfer, the person in charge arranged for the personnel to start working immediately. In order to speed up the progress of the work, Wuyang found a few pieces of chalk and asked to cut according to the direction of his own line, and only 6 knives were needed for each piece of wool. The person in charge agreed without hesitation.
Mao Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaomu also came over to help, basically able to cope with the needs of dozens of stone cutters, and the line was drawn at 4 o'clock. At this time, seeing that the flatbed truck loaded with large wool went out, Mao Xiaoshan knew that the road was auctioned in Wuyang, so he asked the person in charge of the driving route, and the person in charge said. After Mao Xiaoshan heard about it, he said goodbye to Wuyang, saying that the car was going to Zhongnan through the army station, so he took a hitchhike back.
Wuyang Zhilu said that he had been out for more than 20 days, and he must have been worried about the brothers who got along day and night, and he was in a hurry to go back to help him recruit troops, although he was reluctant to do so, but there was no way to do it. The two came to a bear hug, and their eyes were red and cherished each other.
At nearly 5 o'clock, seeing that the wool next to the stone cutter was cut, Wuyang hurried over to inquire, and gave Boss Ji a few pieces of the part they prepared that had a good appearance and did not vote, and all the ones filled in for themselves won the bid, and there were more than 100 yuan in total, and after the payment came out, they immediately put into work.
By 6 o'clock in a few minutes, it was all cut. After the wool was cut, it shrank severely, only more than 110 tons, and it was loaded into two containers.
President Qin and Director Zhou have not cast a secret bid in the past few days, and their 6 or 70 pieces of wool have already been cut out and turned into jadeite.
I returned to the hotel at almost 8 o'clock, and called Xiao Zhen before dinner to inform me of my itinerary. Xiao Zhen said that he would come to the hotel to eat together tomorrow morning, and then take them to the airport.
While eating, I chatted with Boss Qiu, and Boss Qiu said: "After I go back this time, I must find a processing factory to cut out the wool, and after the valuation, I will remit the consulting fee to you a lot." Boss Xiaoli, you are my God of Wealth, collecting gold, gold prices rise, collecting jadeite, jadeite prices are rising, the bad thing is that I don't have the heart to build a house now. ”
Wuyang said: "What kind of effort do you have to spend on building a house, there are so many brothers at the bottom, you can have fun without participating in it." ”
"That's right." Boss Qiu said.
The boss said, "The thing we talked about last time, I will bring the personnel and equipment when I go back, and we will do a big deal." Wuyang Zhilu said that he was talking about counterfeiting silver dollars, so he smiled noncommittally.
Boss Ji said: "You can rest assured that the consultant fees of the three of them are here, and if they are naughty, we will pinch them to death." ”
Wuyang Zhilu said that their wool has been consigned, and they will definitely return to China tomorrow, and they will exchange words with them after dinner.
When he got upstairs, Wuyang asked Qiu Xiaomu to come over and live with him.
After Xiao Mu came over, he played with the two egg-sized jadeites in his hands, and Wuyang smiled: "You just take this thing back and pay for it?" ”
Xiao Mu said: "This thing will be used as a fitness ball in the future." Go back and hand over the store to my brother, and give him a thousand more thousands, so that he can honor my mother well, and I will bring my wife and a group of children to come over to you. ”
"Xiaomu, now that you have more money in your hand, have you ever thought about how to invest?"
"I didn't think about it, I didn't even think about having so much money. You are the eldest brother, what door do you have, I listen to you. ”
Wuyang said: "I will tell you the way to invest, one is to invest in real estate, and the other is to invest in the futures market. Which do you choose? ”
"Real estate is too troublesome, and futures can't understand it. I still don't know what to do. ”
"Well, when you get to my house, I'll help you do it. However, I must first make it clear that everything is risky, just like gambling on stones. ”
Xiao Mu said: "I know the way. I saw a lot of unfinished buildings on the island, and I also heard about the stock speculation and jumping off the building. Wuyang, anyway, I recognized you as a big brother, and whatever you say is what you say. It's a big deal, it's better if you haven't seen the money. ”
"Well, if you think like that, I'm not afraid. We're all young, and we have a chance to turn over anyway. You have to talk to your lover about it, and don't shake the army's heart when the time comes. ”
Xiaomu said: "Don't worry, my wife won't be troublesome." (To be continued......)
