Chapter 90: There Can't Be Emerald There
The day after the bidding, close to two o'clock, the afternoon sun finished all the work and began to wander around. Most of the people went to the auction to make the mark, and there were not many people in the venue, but there were still a lot more than a few days ago, and it is estimated that these people are focusing on the dark mark.
There are still many people running around, staring at the wool and looking at others. Wuyang thought, these people must be afraid that others will increase the price of the wool they like, and they are not willing to get a high price, but also want to buy wool, which is the common psychology of people. Seeing that others seem to have increased the price, they immediately fill in the list and increase the price, but in fact, it is inevitable that they will scare themselves and raise the price by themselves. Of course, Wuyang didn't dare to laugh at others, and it didn't take him a few days to change from an ordinary person to a rich person. Besides, after I go back and enter the system, can a clerk compare with those section chiefs and division chiefs? But can people laugh at themselves? Laughing at himself only shows his shallowness.
Back at the hotel, everyone gathered together again after dinner, and Wuyang told everyone that he was going to go out with Brother Mao tomorrow to run errands, so he would not accompany everyone to the venue.
Boss Qiu asked: "If you don't go, what about those secret bids you voted?" ”
Wuyang was worried about this matter, and Director Zhou said: "It's okay, the secret bid will be valid for a few months, you won't drag it out for a few months, right?" ”
Wuyang smiled, "That's not going to happen, I'll be back in a few days at most." ”
Wuyang wanted to leave the car to them, but Boss Qiu, who could drive, said that he didn't dare to drive in such road conditions, and Qiu Xiaomu didn't have a driver's license, let alone dare to drive, and said that he would simply take the bus of the organizing committee to go. President Qin, Director Zhou, and Teacher Cao said. Anyway, it's fine. Waiting for them at the guesthouse. I won't be going tomorrow. Wuyang happened to be worried about them, so there was no need to worry about it now.
Qi Zhiqiang called and said: "I have returned to China, everything is going well, this time I went out to distract myself, but I didn't expect to be cured of the disease and find a satisfactory crush, everything is because of you, thank you." Brothers. ”
Wuyang said: "Now you don't lack anything, live every day happily." ”
Qi Zhiqiang said, "I will." ”
"Big brother, you made a special trip to Myanmar, why don't you buy a few pieces of wool?"
"I wasn't going to develop in this area in the future, so I didn't buy it. Although the money comes quickly in the jewelry business, life is so decades, why do you want so much money? Really count the money until your hands cramp? I am now living a few days of merry life while I am young and in good health. If you get tired of it one day, or you don't have any money in your hand, I can ask you for help. ”
Wuyang said, "Big brother." I'll ask my friend to bring you a few pieces of wool back when the time comes, and you can keep a thought. ”
"Okay. Thank you. ”
Xie Daxia also called and said: "Today is the third time to transport wool over, because of the experience of unloading, now there is no need to manually unload the truck, but to use the excavator of a bucket in front, the unloading speed is very fast, more than 180 cars came, it took more than ten hours, mainly reversing to occupy time." Today's freight is nearly 6 million yuan, and all the wool is unloaded in the ravine. ”
Wuyang said that he had worked hard, and also told: "There are more wool materials bought now, and they may ship them over again in a few days, and they will work hard for you." ”
At 8:25, Wuyang and Mao Xiaoshan rushed to the helipad of Boss Chen's house, and Xiao Zhen came over and said, "Boss Chen is not going, I also have many guests, you can go by yourself." When you come into contact with that side, don't mention Boss Chen. The tribe asked Boss Chen for money and things many times, and Boss Chen gave it a few times, but then he didn't give it, which made them unhappy. Of course, it's not a big deal, just pay attention. ”
At 9:50, the helicopter stopped on the tarmac of Boss Chen's mine. The driver told them that since Boss Chen was arranged to supervise the opening of the bid at the trading center, the helicopter was not in a hurry, and asked them not to rush, as long as they promised to rush back on the day of the end.
Mao Dashan was waiting for them outside the tarmac, and as soon as they arrived at noon, they set off. The tattered jeep walked along the road to the town, and after passing the town, he got on a relatively large road, which Mao Dashan said was the road to Yangon.
The road was still potholed, and the tattered jeep bumped and bumped for an hour before it reached a military camp in a valley. The barracks were heavily guarded, and the jeep could only enter after a call was made inside.
They were received by a colonel, Mao Dashan said that the colonel was the supreme commander here, and he had the final say in everything.
The colonel was very welcoming, he didn't speak Chinese, he spoke English, and a few people conversed in English. The colonel welcomed them to mine here, but doubted their success. In any case, you are still welcome to come and invest, as long as your rent is in place, the military will provide all convenience.
Since the conditions had been negotiated, even though it was still early, the colonel arranged for them and a few soldiers to have lunch first and go early and return early.
After the meal, the three soldiers got into their jeeps and headed deeper into the mountains. After walking for about 10 kilometers, there was no road, and several people walked forward. Two soldiers carried a large bundle of nylon rope, and another soldier carried a bag on his shoulder and an 8-pound sledgehammer. After walking for about 10 minutes, I was already sweating profusely.
Wuyang was about to pick up the nylon rope, and Mao Dashan said, "Boss Li, the place you talked about should have arrived." The place where we parked just now was only about 10 kilometers away from the border of Boss Chen's tribe, and now we are walking along the border line. ”
As soon as Wuyang heard it, he knew that the road had already passed the place where there was jade, so it was okay, so let's just start from the other end. When I looked at it, I saw that there was jade in the stone under my feet. Looking around, the vein is more than 200 meters wide and reaches 500 meters at its widest point, basically a long stone ridge.
The jadeite vein is not like a gold mine, and the jadeite inside is all intermittent. Wuyang now doesn't know how deep the ground can be seen by his own skills, but he only knows that there are jadeites not far from the ground. I saw Mao Dashan stuffing money into the soldiers, $200 per person. I understand that this is to let them release water when measuring the territory, but this is too stingy.
Walk along the side of the vein. Walked for about 3 hours. It is estimated to be less than 30 km. The soldier stopped, pointing to show them the Burmese and English carved in the stone, and it turned out that the border had reached again.
Mao Dashan said: "It's not clear which tribe is over there for the time being, but I'll contact you later." Shall we start measuring from here? ”
Wuyang said: "Okay, let's start." ”
Mao Dashan asked the soldier who carried the hammer to follow Wuyang, and the other two soldiers took the rope to measure. The noon sun is running on both sides of the vein, and the soldiers carrying the hammer smash a pit in the stone from time to time. Apply red paint. The soldiers holding the rope first measured the width after a while, and then discussed with Mao Dashan that all of them were 500 meters wide, and only the length was measured. Wuyang saw that the soldiers sometimes walked several steps before pulling the rope to measure, and knew that the dollar of Mao Dashan worked.
The three soldiers all brought kettles, but they didn't bring anything at noon, and they were thirsty, so the soldiers gave them a pot of water, which was a little better.
Back at the barracks, it was already dark. Several people ate, and the colonel came to consult with them. The length of the measurement is 29 km. The width is 0.5 km, and the total area is 14.5 km². The colonel said: "You definitely need roads for mining, you also need to build houses, etc., just according to 30 square kilometers." ”
At noon, it is 30,000 US dollars a year, which is not much, but it is still proposed to build a helipad of about 0.5 square kilometers.
The colonel asked, "Are you going to use helicopters to transport wool when you built the apron?" After seeing Wuyang's nod, the colonel said: "If you want to build a helipad, build a bigger one, and we will provide you with a site free of charge, and at the same time, we are also responsible for ensuring the safety of your helicopters in our country during mining." However, no matter how long you are mining and how many helicopters you use, when mining is over, the helicopter must stay and be able to fly normally. ”
Wuyang had no choice but to agree, and took the opportunity to ask for a piece of land of about 10 square kilometers in the middle of the vein, as a helipad, you can also build some buildings, live in people, store materials, and always need it.
After these things were negotiated and the contract was formally signed, the colonel asked if he could arrange some workers for them, saying that their country was too poor, and he wanted those who could work to earn some money to support their families, so that they could live a better life.
Mao Dashan said: "Your people have no experience in mining, our mining has a relatively high degree of mechanization, and can only do some transactional work, and the salary is definitely lower than that of skilled workers, and you must obey management, otherwise you can only be removed." ”
The colonel said, "This is no problem, we will explain it." When the time comes, as long as you have a good reason, you will be removed. ”
"Colonel, we'll be mining from tomorrow, won't there be any problems?" Mao Dashan said.
The colonel said, "You can do everything else, but the helicopter can't come yet, and you have to wait for our notice." We have to get in touch with other parties first. ”
"Colonel, we haven't gone to the United States to buy helicopters yet, they won't be so fast." Wuyang said.
The colonel said: "Western countries have a strong blockade against us, and you better buy it through a company in Thailand." ”
"Okay, we'll figure it out. The Colonel has worked hard for you. Wuyang said, and handed him $15,000 in rent, and took out another $2,000 for him to drink tea.
After saying goodbye to the colonel, the three of them drove back to the town, and on the way Mao Dashan said: "I don't know if the road can mine jadeite." "A little worried.
Wuyang smiled and said: "You try it first, transfer a few pieces of equipment from the mine, put a few cannons, dig for a few days, and then you will know the way?" ”
"That's all there is to it."
I lived in the town that night, and I wanted to transfer money to Mao Dashan the next morning, but I couldn't transfer it in the town, so Wuyang simply gave Mao Dashan the card in Mao Xiaoshan's hand. There were originally more than 40 million euros of jadeite sold on the card, and it took a lot to bid for wool in the past few days, and there should be more than 30 million yuan.
When I returned to the hotel in the morning, I heard President Qin and their presidential suite noisy, knocking on the door, it turned out that it was Boss Qiu who was playing cards. In these rooms, only the presidential suite has a table, Boss Qiu, Boss Na and Boss Ji are playing "run fast", and Boss Ji and the three of them are sitting on the side and sullen.
Wuyang asked, "Why don't you go to the trading center?" ”
Boss Qiu said: "There are too many people queuing up to pay the money, we are too lazy to queue up, and the final settlement is settled at one time." ”
At this time, Boss Ji approached, "Boss Xiaoli." Isn't the price of our dark bid particularly high? Yesterday's wool in that area. All 6 of us hit the shot. ”
"What's the matter, isn't it good to hit?" Wuyang asked.
Boss Ji said, "We...... We ......"
As if he wanted to stop talking, Wuyang Zhilu said what they meant, "If you feel that you have lost, I have said before, just give me all of it, and we will go to pay the money tomorrow morning, and I will transfer the money to you after it is over." It's up to you to do the rest or not. "Although Wuyang is familiar with a few of them, he has never done business and does not know them very well.
Boss Qiu said: "You have invested so much wool yourself, and now you are taking them over, is it too much?" ”
"Not much, there are so many jade merchants here now, we will cut out the wool tomorrow, and sell the jadeite ones, just so that no one wants it." Wuyang said.
"Boss Xiao Li, you are really a good person. We'll give you all 3. We'll go with you tomorrow, and we'll help you pay the money first. Then you give us the money. Boss Qiu said that your boss is older than him, and we don't worry about that, that ......."
"Don't worry, although Boss Qiu is cold to me, I won't owe you money. Starting tomorrow, even if you guys do things for me, I will pay 10,000 yuan a day for my hard work. ”
"Boss Xiaoli, didn't you slap us in the face? You see that this hotel eats and lives for nothing, how can it be counted? Boss Ji said.
"Okay, okay, everyone is friends, don't share it, I will supervise the consulting fees of a few of them." Boss Qiu said.
"It's okay, you continue to play cards, and I'll learn how to play cards." Wuyang looked at it for a while, no one told him the rules of the game, and he couldn't understand it, so he was bored, so he went back to the room. told Mao Xiaoshan about Boss Ji and they didn't want wool, Mao Xiaoshan said: "It's okay if you don't want to, if you knew that you wanted to invest so much at that time, you would definitely not invest at such a high price, and it would be difficult to say if you won't win." Tomorrow, the three of us will cut it out, and we will definitely be able to make a thousand eight million. ”
Wuyang called Qiu Xiaomu, Xiaomu was watching the excitement in the trading center, so he told him about tomorrow, Xiaomu said, the current price of jadeite is much higher than a few days ago, and it is so lively here. "You go to the person in charge of cutting stones and auctions, we need to cut stones tomorrow morning, I will send you the admission card numbers, passport numbers and wool numbers of the three of them by text message, you ask them to prepare them today." After hanging up the phone, I went to the suite again, found their number, and sent it to Xiaomu.
After eating lunch and returning to the room, he began to call, Ouyang Qi, Tan Ren'an, Wang Bin, Guo Zhiping played around, and then called Wang Xiaohui and Wu Fang. The phone ran out of battery, plugged in the charger and called, Yuan Zhi, Luo Hao, Zhang Jianke, and the last were the 3 roommates of the university, all of them. It's rare to be so free, especially when you're in such a good mood. There's really nothing to do, turn on the TV, it turns out that you can receive satellite channels from Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV and some local stations, but fortunately, I found it now, otherwise the phone wouldn't have made so many calls.
At dinner, Qiu Xiaomu came back, "Our wool has not been paid yet, and it was originally impossible to pull it out and cut stones, and the person in charge only carried it out after asking the organizing committee for approval." When I left the house at 5 o'clock, they were already moving the wool. ”
As a result, when the group arrived at 7 o'clock the next morning, the wool was still untouched next to the stone cutter.
The person in charge walked over, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, although the organizing committee approved us to cut stones, after all, it is more than 30 million wool, and no one dares to take this responsibility." ”
Wuyang expressed understanding. And ask the person in charge if he can pay now. The person in charge said that our people work in two shifts, and there must be people, as long as the bank's employees go to work, there will be no problem. At this time, Wuyang specially introduced Mr. Cao as a professor at the University of Geosciences, saying that he and Mao Xiaoshan and Qiu Xiaomu were his graduate students, and the main purpose of coming out this time was to teach, and gambling on stones was just an incidental act.
Wuyang and Ji Boss 3 people with the person in charge to go through the procedures, first enter the admission card and passport number, check and calculate the amount, and then Ji Boss 3 people fill in the power of attorney, 3 people by the way will be the next few days of the power of attorney also filled in, together with the computer, this phenomenon is a frequent occurrence, sometimes after the bidder bids, suddenly there is an urgent matter to go, you can only fill in the power of attorney to authorize others to handle the procedures after the bid opening; The last thing is the bank transfer, and the procedure is completed in 20 minutes. Wuyang paid with his own card. The wool that was cast in two days was 207 pieces. A total of more than 80 million euros.
A few people walked towards the stone cutter. The person in charge said with a smile: "Mr. Li, we auctioned 40,000 pieces of wool in two days, and the average price was about 300,000 yuan, and the price you offered was relatively high." ”
Wuyang said: "It's the first time I've participated in the public market, and I don't know much about these things, so it's inevitable that the price will be higher." If nothing else, there should be so many more tonight, and I'm going to cut them all out and sell the jadeite. I wonder if Lu Dao can sell it? ”
"The amount of jadeite you sell is still too small, even if you sell ten times more than 100 times, it's no problem, don't worry."
Walking to the side of the stone cutter, the person in charge waved his hand, and dozens of staff members immediately came out and quickly started the machine to cut stones. Wuyang wanted to help them draw lines, but he didn't dare to go out.
At around half past eight, the number of people in the venue increased rapidly, and the stone cutting also entered the stage of rubbing stones. At this time, the person in charge himself began to shout in English and Burmese, and also arranged for a staff member to speak Chinese. They said: Now cut the wool. It is selected by the old professor and his graduate students of the famous Chinese University of Geosciences, whether there is jadeite in it or not, and whether the jadeite is good or not. It will be tested in no time. If you want to see if the old professor is in vain, whether the students he leads are successful in their studies, or if they are interested in buying jadeite, they can stay and take a look, and the results will be available soon.
Originally, the people who came here were the people who gambled on stones, and the person in charge shouted like this, which aroused their interest even more. However, everyone is basically suspicious at first, people have gambled on stones for a lifetime, and they can't compare to a few of your student babies?
People are suspicious, that is, no one leaves. Stone cutting, auction are the most attractive part of the process of gambling stones, there are many people who want to bid for jadeite, plus the bid of the hidden bid is to see or not, anyway, it must be inquired at that time. With the creation of the first piece of jadeite, the shouting turned into an auction.
The businessmen who participated in the public auction were all people who saw the price of jadeite very accurately, and the price quoted was quite accurate. There are many people who cut stones, there are many people who preside over the auction, and there are more people who bid for jadeite.
At 12 noon, the staff on the morning shift were about to leave work, and the jadeite auction was over. Wuyang this time is the wool selected in the dark mark area, itself is a relatively good performance of the wool, and deliberately only selected those wool with good water species and large jadeite, so the auction price reached an average of nearly 4 million euros. He calculated that if the wool was shipped back to China and then appraised by the auctioneer, he would receive 15 percent of the consultant fee, which would be about the same as the money he would make from auctioning the jadeite here.
Boss Qiu invited a table at the hotel outside the trading center today. He, the boss, and Boss Ji were much happier than Wuyang himself. Several people enthusiastically toasted Wuyang, and some words could not be said clearly, for fear of stimulating Boss Ji and them. But if you know it, there is no need to say it.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wuyang went to inquire about the number of wool in the bidding of Boss Ji's 3 people, originally thought that there should be more than 300 pieces, but only more than 220 pieces, and then remembered that the wool he saw was not synchronized with the opening of the bid of the trading center, and some wool materials will be opened tomorrow.
Mr. Cao's bidding for all the wool was opened today, and the price that Wuyang bid for him was comparable to his own, which was higher than that given to Boss Qiu, reaching an average of nearly 800,000 euros per piece. Of course, the performance of these wool materials is much better, and the jadeite seen by Wuyang is also larger, and the grade is about the same. Those with the highest grades were all taken under his own name by Wuyang.
When transferring the money, Mr. Cao was shocked that his original more than 150 million euros were transferred to less than 10,000 euros. When he went out and met Wuyang, Mr. Cao joked: "Xiao Li, you have become Liu Wencai of the new society, and you won't let go if you don't exploit me." ”
Wuyang doesn't know who Liu Wencai is, but Teacher Cao must be empty now. smiled and said: "Teacher Cao, don't worry, now the gambling people in the whole world know you, even if you don't have a penny in your pocket, you still go all over the world." (To be continued......)
