Chapter 306: Crazy Stone
The minimum bid price for that pile of wool was 100,000 euros, and the bid price for Ningxia was 100,000 euros.
Ningxia winked at Xiao Chen a little mischievously, and Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing.
At this time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chen handed a bottle of water to Ningxia, which is a tropical climate, with only two seasons a year, the rainy season and the dry season. At this time, the climate is dry and hot, and the standard field is illuminated by the hot sun, just like the Gobi in Xinjiang. All the merchants who participated in the bidding endured both mental and physical torture. If you don't replenish water at any time, you may be dehydrated and suffer from heat stroke, which may be life-threatening, because the location of this marked site is remote, and it is difficult for patients to be sent to the hospital.
Ningxia drank water in small sips, this water drank down, it will become sweat after a while, and water here is a commodity in short supply, in addition to the outrageous expensive, sometimes you can't buy it if you have money, so you must save, can't drink cow, sip not to let yourself feel too thirsty, just don't dry your throat.
"Let's take a break." Xiao Chen pointed to the shade of the tree on the side and said.
It was indeed unbearable to be hot, Ningxia nodded, and the two walked to the shade of the tree to rest a little.
Xiao Chen is obviously no stranger to this jade public market, and introduced this standard field to Ningxia.
This yard is like an emerald park, and there are some jadeite and jade stones as decoration, but they are all inferior wool. In this place where they rest, there is a jade carving, saying that it is a jade carving, in fact, it is praised, otherwise Ningxia does not know what to call this ornament, a bunch of flower cards are stacked to pose a shape, basically there is no beauty at all.
At this time, Ningxia they are only on the periphery of the bidding field, and all the wool materials are placed in rows in large wooden boxes arranged in a neat and orderly manner, because they are not good jadeite wool, and the protection measures are not so good.
To put it bluntly, the jade wool here is like the animals in the zoo, the ordinary animals are free-range, and the more advanced ones are kept in captivity, and the more expensive ones are caged.
Ningxia they are now equivalent to being in the "free-range area". If you go further in, you can see a little more high-end jadeite wool, and there will also be a simple pergola shading, and go to the innermost, that is, those really high-grade jadeite wool, which are locked in a special large iron cage. Generally speaking, the jadeite wool here will be in English and Burmese, introducing the factory, size and volume of the jadeite wool. There is no need for buyers to rack their brains to determine the source of the pit of jadeite wool.
After a short rest, Ningxia decided to continue walking inside, far from the high-grade jadeite wool area.
On this road, in addition to the merchants who come and go, that is, the Burmese soldiers on patrol, there are also some Burmese beauties wearing beautiful clothes from time to time.
Ningxia took a mobile phone and wanted to take a few photos of jade wool, but the three or two Burmese beauties saw that Ningxia was going to take pictures, so they posed with Ningxia's mobile phone lens, which made Ningxia smile bitterly.
There is a big-eyed beauty who also took the initiative to enthusiastically drag Xiao Chen into the mirror, Ningxia is not the kind of stingy and cautious girlfriend, seeing other beauties so friendly to their boyfriends, but quite generous, and also commanded Xiao Chen and the beauty in English how to pose, and when she pressed the photo button, the picture froze, and in the photo taken, Xiao Chen was a full-body portrait, and the Burmese beauty only took half of her cheeks, and she also smiled and praised the Burmese beauty in English, "So beautiful, so beautiful." I really don't know that half of the cheek, even one of the beauty's eyes is only half patted, where does that beauty start?
When the other beauties saw Ningxia's good temper, they all came to Xiao Chen's side like flies and took a group photo.
Ningxia said in his heart, shoot for you, really shoot for you.
When she finished taking the picture, when Xiao Chen came to look at the photo, he only saw his own face, and the Burmese beauties only saw a row of hair.
"Alas, there is no way, such a Burmese beauty is too short." Ningxia shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of regret, saying nonsense without blinking his eyes.
Xiao Chen burst into laughter in his heart, he was not unhappy, the stinky beauty in his heart was real, the more stingy and cautious Ningxia became, the more she cared about him, what was he waiting for?
The two of them walked inside side by side, and in the middle of this, Ningxia threw in some more bids, and the bids in their hands looked reduced.
Ningxia counted the remaining bids, and then began to mumble, "This old Burmese pit does not pay for the death, not only does it ask for tickets, but this bid is also ridiculously expensive." How black-hearted, they will come. ”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This proves that Burmese people are born to do business, and all of them are good at calculations." ”
Ningxia immediately said disdainfully, "What if it's an abacus essence?" Just counting how many billions of dollars we Chinese contribute to their jade and jade every year, why haven't we seen Myanmar's economy developed and can enter the Asian Tigers? ”
Xiao Chen immediately laughed and said, "Don't bring people here to hate others, we only talk about business, not politics." ”
Ningxia nodded, and she just said it casually.
While talking, the two of them walked to the wool area under the pergola, and most of the wool here was clear. They are all locked in iron cages. Ningxia saw a piece of violet wool, the color is extremely elegant, the purity is relatively high, not enough for the glass species, but it is better than the ice species, the size is not small, and the weight marked on it is more than 20 kilograms. The reserve price is 200,000 euros, equivalent to nearly 2 million yuan.
Of course, Ningxia also knows that the price of the bid seems to be cheap, but in fact, when the bid is unveiled, it is not known how many times the price will be before the transaction can be made.
She had heard that on the Myanmar public market last year, the seller intended to trade a piece of jadeite wool with an intention to trade at a price of more than 10 million, and finally sold it for 160 million, a profit margin of more than 10 times.
The disparity between the transaction price and the market value of the wool is one of the reasons why the market price of jadeite continues to rise. Take the piece of jadeite wool bought for 160 million yuan, such a high price to buy, but also to go through 30% tariffs, plus freight, to the domestic price of this piece of jadeite wool has exceeded 200 million, this is not the end, to process these jadeite wool into jewelry, or pay processing fees. The jadeite wool purchased at a sky-high price is naturally not daring to ask the general jade craftsman to process and carve, and invite a famous hand, and the labor cost is another figure that should not be underestimated......
No one will make a loss-making transaction, and the jeweler will naturally let the consumer pay for the cost. This causes the price of jadeite to only rise but not fall.
"Invest 400,000 euros, and you can still make money by buying it back like this." After Xiao Chen pondered it, he said to Ningxia.
Ningxia also felt that the price was appropriate, and she didn't accept it if it was higher, because she bought this piece of jadeite wool for Ning's family. Otherwise, the 200,000 euros, she felt that it was too high, who let her usually pick up treasures from the waste, and she was used to picking them up, the cost price of her jade wool was low and scared to death, and when she finished solving the stone, the profit margin suddenly became high and scary. She usually makes a lot of money, and the profit margin is at least ten times, or even dozens of times.
Filling out the label and throwing it into the standard box next to the violet wool, Ning Xia and Xiao Chen continued to look forward.
Although there are many jadeite wool, there are still a few high-quality products, let alone the best.
Time passed by a minute, Ningxia carefully chose half a day, and finally a piece of glass was planted with green jadeite, although the green color was slightly lighter, but the emerald green color was like a green spring, and the beauty was very sufficient. And this piece of green jadeite is a glass species, with delicate texture, dense structure, crystal translucent, soft flesh, strong surface reflection, very spiritual, fully embodies the true meaning of green, green nobility, looks green, very spiritual.
Ningxia likes it very much.
Although the full green jadeite is lost to the imperial green jadeite, it is far better than other jadeite, and the market price of a glass full green jadeite bracelet is at least 10 million.
Ningxia looks at the reserve price, which is marked as 7 million euros, and the floor price is very cheap, but the transaction price is unknown. This is more exciting and challenging than the explicit mark. You never know how much your opponent will bid and have to put your blood on the line in order to win the jade of your choice.
Ningxia frowned and calculated, and finally gritted her teeth, she offered a price of two thousand and one thousand, such a price was not the mood she had when she marked the pile of bricks with peerless jade eggs hidden before, and the price was written with a playful heart. It's purely a strategy to give her a narrow win over her opponents, and in such a bid, the way is for the highest bidder, even if it's only a penny higher. Ningxia is full of green jade, so it took so much effort to report the winning bid.
Xiao Chen saw Ningxia's price tag and knew that Ningxia really wanted to get this green jade this time, according to the current exchange rate of the euro against the yuan, if 20 million euros were converted into yuan, it would be as high as 160 million yuan.
"It's a piece of jadeite wool worth buying, and I hope we can win the bid." Xiao Chen said to Ningxia with a smile after putting the bids into the standard box in Ningxia.
Ningxia shook his head and said, "This is really unknown, there are nearly 10,000 merchants participating in the jade public market, and there is no way to guess how many opponents will grab this piece of jade with us." But I think my price is crazy enough, is there anyone crazier than me? ”
Ningxia's words are absolutely objective. In the past two years, the market of jadeite has risen, resulting in the jadeite wool also rising again and again. And those who invest in the jadeite industry can be said to be not the craziest, only more crazy. These beautiful stones given by nature are lifeless, but they have a charm that makes people crazy.
"Actually, if you think about it, I really don't know how we people are so fascinated by such an inanimate stone that we lose our reason?" Ningxia said with some feelings. I don't know how many people in this world are risking bankruptcy for such a crazy stone, and they are moving forward.
"It's nothing more than a sharp word." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Ningxia then turned his face and looked at Xiao Chen with some solemn eyes.
