Chapter 186: We Have It!
As soon as Lin Xiao and the others entered the periphery of the mining area, they saw a 'very lively' jade and stone 'trading' market.
"How can there be a 'jade' and 'stone' trading market here?" When Lin Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"Hehe, just to be safe." Peng Pu explained with a smile, "Actually, there are not many customers here, but the people who can come here are basically old relational households, and they have a lot of 'dealings' with the mine owners, and they can often get good materials by staying here." ”
Peng Pu said that in Myanmar's jade market, there are generally three types of "trade", one is the jewelry "trade" market, the second is a few large jewelry companies, and the third is some individual "trade" scattered in the suburbs.
The jadeite jewelry 'trade' center they saw, located in a corner of the mining area, is a large market with an area of more than 20,000 square meters, built more than ten years ago, foreigners need to provide a special pass issued by the military government when entering, and at the same time have to 'pay' a certain entrance fee.
When Lin Xiao and the others came over, naturally someone said hello, but the entrance fee still needs to be handled by themselves, after all, Myanmar is relatively poor, so they just point to this to live.
Lin Xiao was also very generous, and directly gave the other party $10,000 as a gift.
Such a generous gesture immediately won the favor of the mine manager, and Peng Pu, who brought them over, also felt very bright on his face.
After all, a big boss like + one + book + reading + novel + ybdu Lin Xiao is really rare.
When the average buyer goes to the 'door', he is willing to not see the rabbit or scatter the eagle, and he is absolutely unwilling to 'spend' half a 'dime' more, let alone such a large admission fee that is close to a reward.
"The boss invited the inside to visit, the outside is too dirty and 'messy'." The steward was smiling at this time, and a wrinkled company was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
It is said to be a market, but in fact, it is very simple, and Lin Xiao feels like a small vegetable market in a third-tier city.
Inside the yard are rows of wooden houses, some of which are houses with 'gates', and some of which are just large sheds.
The whole market is divided into several areas, including jadeite ring area, bracelet area, 'wool' material area, sheet area, processing area and carving area.
It is said that when this market is booming, there can be four or five thousand people operating in it, some buying and selling, some receiving goods regularly, and some traveling merchants.
Generally, the consignee only sits behind the table, and the seller will hand over the goods for them to choose and bargain over.
Lin Xiao visited it, and felt that in this market, it is also a 'mixed' of fish and dragons, with high-end ring noodles, B goods, goods, and even coated jadeite, which are completely distinguished by eyesight.
The shipment volume of the ring noodles here is larger, but the quality of the HUL is average, the ring noodles are mainly in the mid-range, the dark 'color' is more, and the yang green ones are rare; the 'wool' material area is dominated by the 'color' of low-grade goods, and some of the better small pieces are occasionally seen in the piece material, which is suitable for making all kinds of small 'flower' pieces; the situation in the bracelet area is the most complicated, and some bracelets are processed by the Chinese people, and then sent back here to sell.
Although Lin Xiao didn't know much about the situation of jadeite, his criteria for judging the quality were very simple, that is, it was easy to simply use the amount of aura contained in it as a standard.
After He Wei and the Sun brothers and others came over, they also felt a little 'dazzled'.
Especially after seeing those 'flowery' bracelets, I was a little tempted.
However, Peng Pu and the steward sincerely reminded them that this side is basically a decoration with something added, and it is not worth the investment.
"I really don't see anything strange." After He Wei heard this, he shook his head with some emotion.
"I really can't see it, but I feel like everything here is very good." Sun Quan also said to Lin Xiao, "It seems that the interlacing is like a mountain." ”
"That's nature, there's a lot of knowledge in this thing." Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, "Those who make antiques in China can basically make anything, and it is even easier to make jadeite." ”
When the steward heard this, he said that this was indeed the case, and he said to the people that the filling of these bracelets varies from organic to inorganic, from non-colored to colored.
There are even some so-called ice-bottom bracelets of the old species, which are actually "high B" bracelets, which look very shiny from the outside, but the internal structure still shows traces of destruction.
They walked inside again, and they saw a kind of 'jade' stone cutting machine powered by artificiality.
The worker sits on a high stool and uses his feet to move the pedal, thereby driving the upper wheel to rotate, and the 'jade' stone to be cut is glued to an iron rod and cut on the wheel.
This kind of work efficiency is naturally not high, but this is on the side, and there is no power supply, which is also a very practical cutting tool.
Here, you can also see the more traditional 'operation' of polishing with bamboo chips, that is, the 'jade' ware to be polished is dipped in fine sand, and then put on the bamboo board in the water and repeatedly polished.
"This is the most traditional polishing process, which has been passed down from you, but now, it is estimated that it can no longer be seen in your Huaxia country." The steward said with some emotion.
Although everyone went around the market, the manager told them that if you want to buy good goods in the 'exchange' center, you need to wait for a long time and extraordinary patience, and it is best to understand the market first, and then buy goods, otherwise, the chance of being fooled is very high.
"Now the 'wool' material market is mainly in the hands of a few companies, which have their own mines, and also act as agents for the 'wool' materials of other 'jade' merchants." "These companies have their own fleets, garages and inspection rooms. When the buyer comes to the company, the company will take out the 'wool' material for him to see according to the customer's past experience and preferences. ”
According to him, generally speaking, if no one is leading, the company will not give a stranger a particularly good 'gross' material.
"When you buy goods from these companies, at least you don't have to worry about buying fakes, but you need to judge whether the price is right or not." "The finished product market is not too prosperous now, but for people who need to buy raw materials, they have no choice but to use money to buy raw materials." Because there are many people who buy materials now, one after another, the price you don't like may be accepted by others, so the price of raw materials is getting higher and higher, and the profits are getting more and more bo. ”
"We also want to buy some 'wool' material, do you have any recommendations? A reputable company or something?" Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then made a request to the steward, and stuffed him with a stack of dollars by the way.
The steward glanced at it and found that there were thousands of dollars, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
He quietly put away the dollars, and then thought for a moment, "I know a company that has new materials delivered recently, why don't you go over and take a look together?" They are more familiar with me over there, the price is negotiable, and the things are authentic, but what happens after the inside is opened, it depends on the ability of the guests. ”
"It's easy to say, it's a gambling stone anyway, if it doesn't go up, it will fall." Lin Xiao replied indifferently.
Sure enough, it's a big high-roller, the steward glanced at Lin Xiao, and said secretly in his heart.
Lin Xiao, the manager of the house, led them to a company called "Sha Moma", briefly introduced them, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the other party.
After all, Lin Xiao's background is not small, not only the recommendation of the military government's commissioner Peng Lap Natsinghe, but also Peng Pu's personal leadership, and what is even more rare is that he has a generous hand, which is worth focusing on 'befriending'.
"Our company is strong and ......has a close relationship with the military government," the person in charge of Shaqima at the scene first told the history of his company's development, proudly showed his semi-official identity, and then asked Lin Xiao and others about their requirements.
"There are no special requirements, just to buy a batch of 'wool' materials, and by the way, I want to visit some mines where jadeite rough has been mined or something...... Lin Xiao said
"It's easy." The person in charge of the company immediately agreed, for him a visit to the pit was not a big deal, it was just a trouble, and someone needed to lead it in.
But for the sake of the fact that Lin Xiao and others may have a large purchase order, this matter is really nothing.
"Then let's take a look at the 'wool' material first, I hope to see some higher-grade ones." Lin Xiao said to the person in charge.
What he meant, the person in charge immediately understood, this was intended to be a quick decision, so he didn't want the other party to take out a bunch of rough stones with no investment value.
So everyone followed the person in charge of the company and went to their internal exhibition hall.
After entering, I found that this side is like a big warehouse, all kinds of jadeite 'wool' materials of different sizes can be seen everywhere, and each piece of 'wool' material has been labeled with three identical labels, indicating the item number or something, and there is a reference price.
"Guests can choose first, and after they have chosen, we will discuss the price together." The person in charge of the company said to Lin Xiao and others.
"Good!" When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed.
The jade rough stones in the warehouse looked good, but Lin Xiao didn't waste time, he just 'touched' it with his hands, and felt that the aura in the 'wool' material was abundant and the quality was high, so he directly took off one of the labels and asked the Sun brothers to put it away.
Before and after, he probably earned more than 300 yuan of 'gross' materials, all of which had never opened the skylight, so he could not estimate the specific value, and the relative price was small, and the face value was about 40 million yuan.
"That's all for the time being, if the price is suitable, I'll let people transfer it immediately." After Lin Xiao picked it, he said to the person in charge of Sha Moma Company.
"Good! Good! I'll let someone count the price!" The person in charge made a big deal today, and he couldn't help but feel better, so he thought about what kind of price should be given to Lin Xiao, so that it would be easier to promote this business?
"It's a pity, I heard that there is a lot of jade ore here, although I can't afford it, but take a look, it's good to 'touch' and 'touch', but I don't have this eye blessing." Lin Xiao shook his head with some regret and said.
In the warehouse of the company, the quality of the rough stone is really good, but there is no big material.
"Guests want to see big 'wool' material?" When the person in charge heard this, he was a little surprised, but he 'revealed' a very proud expression, "We have the big 'wool' material!"
