Chapter 168: Getting Rich in the Ghost Market
Lehi deeply felt that he had invited the jackdaw to accompany him this time, which was really worth it! Get off the plane in Kunming, you can find the car, and then arrive at Tengchong, although it is late at night, the large and small hotels and guest houses in this place have long been booked, but the jackdaw easily found a place, and it is a villa!
The villa was unoccupied, and the jackdaw took the key from under a brick in the doorway and opened the door to enter. Lehi followed in, and found that this villa is not small, although no one lives today, but it is very clean, and the facilities are readily available, he took out his mobile phone to see, and even the wireless network is available! There were also ready-made meals in the fridge, as well as a few boxes of field rations or something, and it warmed up quickly, and Jackdaw and Lehi worked together to get something to eat.
After eating, Lehi wanted to sleep, but after thousands of miles of travel this day, he was also a little tired. However, the jackdaw signaled him not to sleep first, and after making a few phone calls, the jackdaw took Lehi and drove to a warehouse area, and only called him in the middle, but he didn't ask anyone. In fact, if you come with someone from Minghai Company, they also have experts who have participated in the Tengchong public market, and there will be no blindness, but of course Li Hai can trust the jackdaws more.
It was almost two o'clock, and of course it looked dark and quiet outside the warehouse area, but after the jackdaw and the people connected and took Lehi into the warehouse, Lehi found that there were many people here! The huge warehouse, not to mention a 2,000 square meters, the shelves are divided into several areas, which are full of stones, presumably the jade rough, a pile of buyers, holding a strong flashlight in the light, often do not speak when trading, the two sides hook their hands, fingers in each other's palms, you can talk down.
This place is not bad! Li Hai's eyes were opened, and he didn't expect that he would open a public market in a few days, and Tengchong actually had this kind of black market in the middle of the night! Of course, the black market is not necessarily illegal, but this black and black market is not called black market, what is it called? However, there is a problem, this kind of trick of comparing the price with his fingers, Li Hai doesn't understand, there must be a doorway here, and it won't be a finger that counts 10,000.
Jackdaw brought someone over and told him that this was the boss of the office, surnamed Kim. Boss Jin lived up to his name, and when he smiled, the two big gold teeth shone brightly in the dim light: "Welcome, Boss Li from Zhijiang, you have worked hard all the way!" I'm here, don't look at it as a black market, but don't worry, there are absolutely no fakes, they are all rough stones! I'm a golden signboard, I don't believe you ask Boss Han! ”
Boss Han? Lehi immediately came to his senses, he was referring to the jackdaw, but he didn't expect that this place was really called the black market. As for the original stone fraud or something, Li Hai has made up for some knowledge, the so-called no business is not treacherous, the scale of the jade trade is so large, of course, fakes are indispensable, what to change the skin, seams, all kinds of tricks, so that people can't guard against it! It is indeed rare for this Boss Jin to dare to shout this.
After thanking Jackdaw for his good introduction, Li Hai asked tentatively: "Boss Jin, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know how to trade here?" ”
Boss Jin is not a bully, a brief introduction to the rules, in fact, it is really simple, three areas, are all about the price of catties, from one hundred and one catties to ten thousand catties, any choice, over the pound to pay, bank transfers and cash transactions. Lehi was a little confused, and pointed to the two people who were holding hands on the left: "Then what is this?" ”
Boss Jin said with a smile: "There are some old customers in the field, I don't dare to take risks, and I don't ask for the price when others buy the goods and open the window, and they bargain with each other, I don't care." ”
I see! Li Hai was relieved, once he saw it, of course he would not sell it, Minghai Company itself is making jewelry, and there are channels, so why be a second-class dealer? But then again, I'm here alone tonight, and if I use my own money to earn some private money, it doesn't seem to be illegal, right? Originally, this black market was not in the previous plan!
Lehi immediately made up his mind, he had the magic weapon of the rich eye in his hand, although he couldn't actually see the quality of the original stone, but this did not prevent him from knowing its value! That, of course, is to go to the area of one hundred pounds to choose.
Boss Jin will not interfere with how the guests choose, and asks him to take care of himself with a smile. Jackdaw, however, whispered to Lehi as he walked to the left-hand area: "Lehi, this place is not well lit, and many of them are gambling, so you should be careful." ”
Lehi responded with a smile, then turned on the small flashlight with one hand, held a magnifying glass in the other, and began to look at the stone. After looking at a few pieces, Li Hai found that people's valuation is really very reasonable, like this one hundred and one pounds of area, there are also a lot of large stones, and the probability of jadeite in it is higher than that of small stones, but when you count the overall weight, you can't make much!
"It's really from Nanjing to Beijing, what I bought is not sold!" Lehi sighed in his heart, don't look at the many people who blow the gambling stone to the gods, what a knife to heaven and hell, bullshit, this is the same as a casino, whether the gambler wins money or loses money, the final one who makes money must be the casino; Gambling stones, gamblers come and go, but these selling rough stones are the most stable and profitable! Just the level of the price of this sub-sale, people don't have Li Hai's magic skills, all based on experience and eyesight, most of them are actually good, this is the ability, maybe a specific piece has a time to go away, but overall, it is not bad.
Sigh and sigh, Li Hai's subordinates are not slow, there are countless stones in this warehouse, he looks all the way, and he can find some good goods in the sand. Because he was spending his own money, Lehi didn't plan to play any low-key at all, picking a few good pieces and picking a few bad ones, he didn't care about this kind of pediatric trick at all. That's the weakness of the heart, you really opened a big rise in the stone, should be red or red, should you look for trouble or trouble, can you keep a low profile? As for any special way to see the inside of the jadeite, there are more people who play with the jade to make a fortune, and I haven't seen anyone who has been arrested and sliced for research, right?
As he walked ahead, the jackdaw pushed a small cart behind him, moving it up one by one, and after moving the cart, he lifted it to a corner, inserted a sign, and wrote a Li character, indicating that this was Lehi's favorite. After pushing four carts in a row, there were always four or five thousand catties, and some people began to notice Lehi and Jackdaw, speaking of which, it is really rare to spend so much money to buy goods in this area. When some people inquire that Lehi is a novice, they don't care, this is indeed a novice's performance, always thinking about the small and big, but I don't know how much cheap you can be?
But when it came time to cut the stones, the expressions of these people all changed: this novice is a novice, but a red hand! Look at the stone picked, one is more valuable than the other, all of them are jadeite, and there are as many as three pieces of glass alone, and they are not small! Although the head of the water is not good, only Yang Green, but this is already very good, in recent years, the shipments of the old pit in Myanmar have been decreasing year by year, and the market is full of green materials Pitiful, Yang Green is very popular!
After watching it for a while, some people tentatively began to ask for the price, and Lehi had made up his mind to make private money anyway, and he didn't ink, and some people almost made a move when they called. The first two pieces of material, in terms of catties, cost only tens of thousands of yuan, but cut out the clear material, and the transfer is more than one million; At this time, everyone knew that he was purely here to gamble on stones, and did not receive the goods by himself, and suddenly they were all interested, this risk is borne by someone, how good!
From the third block, the bidding began to be hot, and as soon as Li Hai cut out the green, someone shouted: "One million, I want this material!" ”
"A million sides go! This piece of material is less than a hundred catties, and if you see that the green can get into it, you can at least take out two pairs of bracelets, and you want to take it away for a million? I'm out of four million! ”
They are all veterans, and no one will let anyone, although it hurts face, but the bidder still mercilessly quoted the potential value of this material. Lehi stood next to him like a man who had nothing to do, watching a few guests there with both hard and soft means, and his heart was full of joy, he looked at this material with his eyes on money, and it was only one and a half million material, since you are so optimistic, it is so bold to sell four million, wouldn't it be too bad to give you face if you don't sell it?
Next, Lehi cut piece by piece, and when someone bought it, he cut a window and sold it; When no one wanted it for a while, he slowly cut out the clear material, and he didn't worry that no one would accept it. When all the goods were cut, he shook his hand and asked the jackdaw next to him who kept the account and collected the money: "Brother Han, how much is it?" ”
The jackdaw, who has always been indifferent, looked at the number in the book in his hand, and was also a little dazzled, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "Six thousand three million three million!" ”
Li Hai Dale, this line of work is really suitable for him, compared to the cost of only 500,000 yuan, this is even more ruthless than grabbing money! Boss Jin was also in a daze watching from the side, and he himself wondered, did he lose his eyes when he distributed the goods this time and put all the good goods in that area? However, since he is doing this business, Boss Jin has also seen more people get rich, although Li Hai has cut up too much, the total amount may not be higher than some people who cut out the best jade materials.
So he didn't have red eyes or anything, but quickly pulled over one of his subordinates and whispered to him: "Hurry up, pile up all our unsellable scraps to the left store, hurry!" ”
Lehi's ears were bright, and he could hear clearly, and he thought to himself that this business was really good! This time I won money in the area of 100 yuan a catty, and my reputation spread, and there are bound to be many people who go to that area to choose jade stones, and there are already many guests who have run over? Boss Jin took the opportunity to push the scraps that he couldn't even look down on, and he didn't necessarily make less money with this vote!
After the arrangement, Boss Jin came over and congratulated Li Hai on making a fortune, looking at his expression was very sincere, and he was not unwilling at all: "Boss Li, good eyesight!" Nine times out of ten, this eyesight is amazing! ”
Lehi laughed: "TOEFL TOEFL!" Boss Jin, it's better to choose your stones, I'm just wet! By the way, Boss Jin, I have cut a lot of stones from you, will it have any impact on you? ”
Boss Jin waved his hand again and again, and said: "Boss Li said a joke, you are guests, send me money, I can't be blushing when the stone is cut, and it's none of my business to cut down, this is my duty to do business." ”
Lehi nodded secretly, this is really the style of a businessman! It's no wonder that Jackdaw, a person who has almost no time communicating with the outside world, will take the initiative to bring him over to buy goods. It's just that in this way, Lehi has no worries, your boss Jin is on the road like this, then I really go to the area of 1,000 or even 11,000 catties again!
