Chapter 314: Take Down the Emerald Mine! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Curator Wu opened his mouth and two pieces of porcelain made Ji Sheng's heart hot.
It's definitely a big bargain this time!
Normally, this piece of Gao Binghong is brought back to modern society for a maximum of three or five hundred million, but just the two pieces of porcelain that Curator Wu just said are worth 100 million!
Ji Sheng clearly understands one thing, that is, the porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the current era is relatively not so valuable, if in a few years, many cultural relics stores can buy fine products, especially the Qing Dynasty is relatively close to the current era, in addition to the best of them, other porcelain that has been sold at auctions later and has repeatedly created sky-high prices, and the price is not very expensive now.
Curator Wu said two or three pieces of porcelain that were about the same value as the previous jade pot spring vase.
At this point, the sixth has already been discussed.
"The next piece of porcelain I'm talking about might be a little more expensive." Curator Wu said and secretly looked at Ji Sheng's expression, then gritted his teeth and said, "This porcelain may be worth more than two hundred thousand dollars." ”
"Huh?"
"More than $200,000 porcelain?"
"Curator Wu, what kind of porcelain is so expensive?"
Everyone was stunned.
No wonder they were so surprised.
Because Director Wu has been talking about Qing Dynasty porcelain, and the auction price of Qing Dynasty porcelain in the current era is not too high, not to mention Qing Dynasty porcelain, it is a peerless treasure such as Chenghua blue and white goblet, in 1995, the hammer price was only 748,000 yuan soft sister banknote, but the same type of preservation is not so complete Another Chenghua blue and white crane auspicious moire goblet in one or six years The transaction price was as high as nearly 28 million yuan!
In addition, Zhang Zongxian spent 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars in 1985 to auction an enamel plum blossom peony pattern bowl of the Yongzheng period in Sosby, Xiangjiang, you must know that the exchange rate of 100 Hong Kong dollars to the soft sister banknote at that time was only 37.2, that is to say, 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars was equivalent to about 400,000 soft sister banknotes at that time.
But later, how high was the price of this Yongzheng enamel plum blossom peony pattern bowl? 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in 06 years! At least 250 million to 300 million now!
It is conceivable that the Qing Dynasty porcelain in the 80s was not worth much.
Of course, not all porcelain is not valuable, for example, the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty is now very expensive, just a while ago Xiangjiang Sosby auctioned a piece of "Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon hexagonal washing", the transaction price reached 22 million Hong Kong dollars.
So up to now, Director Wu has always said that the porcelain he took out and exchanged was all Qing Dynasty porcelain, and he never mentioned the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, let alone the Yuan Dynasty, which had a relatively short period of existence.
So, what Qing Dynasty porcelain is actually worth 200,000 US dollars?
Everyone looked at Curator Wu curiously.
The same is true for Ji Sheng.
Director Wu only said lightly a name and preservation, "Kangxi's imperial enamel color cup is very well preserved. ”
Zhi Youcai gasped, "! Kangxi imperial enamel color bowl? ”
Mr. Shi, who didn't know much about antique porcelain, widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "This ...... Are you willing to exchange this? ”
"What happened to the Kangxi imperial enamel color bowl?"
"Is this thing expensive?"
"That sounds like it."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is enamel."
Cheng Jianjun, Xiao Zhang, Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng and others discussed softly.
Curator Wu didn't pay attention to the group of people at all, he smiled bitterly: "No way, I really can't think of a few pieces of porcelain with a relatively high value, after all, Mr. Ji's requirements for us are already very low, the peerless treasure worth four or five million dollars Rooster-shaped Gao Binghong, as long as we exchange the antique porcelain worth two million dollars, there is not nothing in the porcelain museum worth two million dollars, such as Ru kiln green glaze washing, but those are all in storage, and the research value of cultural relics itself is very high, even if I am willing to exchange it, the group of people above will not allow it, I only choose from Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, and this Kangxi imperial enamel bowl is the best antique porcelain I can think of so far. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Ji Sheng, "Mr. Ji, do you want to change?" ”
Change?
Nonsense, definitely change!
Others don't know the true value of Kangxi's imperial enamel bowl, can Ji Sheng still not know?
He remembered that Poly once auctioned a Kangxi imperial enamel color bowl, and the transaction price was more than 238 million!
With such a high value of treasures, whoever doesn't exchange it is a fool!
And even if there are no similar antiques to compare, Ji Sheng will change them.
Why?
Because the status of enamel color in antique porcelain is too high, it is known as the "queen of colored porcelain", and there is even a saying in the auction industry, called "enamel color is present, and the sky-high price must be seen", which can be seen in its status.
Ji Sheng said without hesitation: "Change!" ”
The martial arts hall chief was overjoyed, "Then it's decided, now there are a total of six pieces of porcelain, and the value of them together is about 450,000 US dollars, and there is still 1.55 million left, I think about it carefully." ”
Professor Zhu suddenly reminded, "Director Wu, I remember that there is a Ruyi bottle in the tertiary production company, which was just received last month. ”
Lao Yu also recalled, "Eh, that palace powder and colorful crane deer Tongchun Ruyi bottle in the Qianlong period, aren't we about to sell it at an external valuation of 100,000 US dollars?" ”
Curator Wu suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yes, that treasure can indeed be exchanged for it. ”
Zhi Youcai said movingly: "Qianlong Palace pink ground foreign color porcelain vase? ”
"Hmm." Director Wu opened his mouth and said: "That palace powder and Yangcai crane deer Tongchun Ruyi bottle mouth is garlic-shaped, mouthful, hanging belly, circle feet outward. The abdomen is painted with the crane and deer in the same spring, the peaks are stacked, the pine and the green Berlin stand, the Ruilu crane is leisurely among them, the meal is loose and the stream is drunk, and it is happy. The neck and foot walls are powdered on the ground, the icing on the cake. Under the edge of the mouth, the shoulder is decorated with a ruyi cloud head for a week, and the neck and foot wall are decorated with banana leaf patterns, decorated with flowers and pearls. Each layer is decorated with gold lines. The bottom of the pine green glaze, the alum red book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" three lines of six-character seal, is a rare peerless treasure. ”
As soon as Ji Sheng heard the introduction, a wonderful porcelain vase immediately appeared in front of him, if he remembered correctly, there had been an auction in Europe before, which was very similar to the introduction of the director of the martial arts, and the transaction price was 16.2 million euros, equivalent to more than 110 million soft sister banknotes.
"Yes." Ji Sheng nodded.
He behaved very lightly, in fact, he was about to go crazy with excitement in his heart, the two Qing Dynasty porcelains that Director Wu said just now may be auctioned at a sky-high price, in fact, these two pieces of porcelain alone are comparable to his high ice red rooster-shaped jadeite in terms of real value, of course, this is the value of the modern society to compare.
When Director Wu saw that Ji Sheng's two pieces of porcelain had agreed so simply, he suddenly became energetic, "Then I'll continue to talk about other ......."
Before he finished speaking, Dan walked over from not far away, and said in a very polite tone: "Mr. Ji, Secretary Rui invites you to go over and talk about something." ”
"Shura Warrior God"
"Okay, right away." Ji Sheng glanced at Director Wu with apologetic eyes, "Director Wu, why don't you wait for me to return to China and go directly to the tertiary industry company under your museum to see?" ”
"Okay." The martial arts director was afraid that he would regret it temporarily, so after saying this, he hurriedly added, "Let's keep our promises." ”
Ji Sheng cried and laughed: "Am I like the kind of person who doesn't believe in my word? I'm the most honest person, so relax. ”
Curator Wu sneered, he was really afraid that Ji Sheng would break the contract, if someone else broke the contract, he could still rely on his identity to handle it, but this Ji Sheng's social status is so high, let alone him, even if someone more powerful than him wants to control Ji Sheng today, it is not easy.
Why?
It's a very simple truth, with Ji Sheng's wealth today, if Huaxia just did something to him, there are countries in the world that welcome him to join, and Director Wu also knows that as long as Ji Sheng is willing, it will be easy to become a citizen of a beautiful country, but people have not changed their nationality until now, which means that they are still patriotic.
Ji Sheng didn't say anything more to Director Wu, and got up to leave.
He was led by Dan to Secretary Shwe, surrounded by high-ranking people from Burma.
"Mr. Ji, sit down, let's talk about something?" Secretary Rui stretched out his hand.
Ji Sheng actually knew that Secretary Rui wanted to talk to him about something, it was nothing more than an investment matter, otherwise people would give you such a big show?
He sat down with a knowing smile, but his mouth was pretending to be confused: "Thank you, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”
Secretary Rui glanced at the middle-aged man next to him and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to know how Mr. Ji feels about staying in our Myanmar for a day?" ”
Ji Sheng blinked and said, "Well, that's good." ”
Secretary Rui's eyes lit up, "Is Mr. Ji interested in investing some?" ”
Ji Sheng must want to invest in Myanmar, otherwise what would he do with 100 million US dollars?
It's just that he knows that he can't take the initiative to say this kind of thing, and he doesn't cherish it if it's too easy to get.
Ji Sheng wanted Secretary Rui to take the initiative to mention investment to him, so that he could not only pay the minimum price, but also make the other party grateful to Dade.
"There is some interest in investing." Ji Sheng first gave Secretary Rui and the high-level executives in Myanmar some verbal hope, and then frowned and said: "But you also know that I am mainly engaged in the financial industry, and the financial industry in your country is not very developed, and it seems that there is no suitable investment project for me." ”
When the Burmese high-level leaders present heard this, they immediately became anxious.
Obviously, Ji Sheng has investment intentions, but there is no suitable investment target, if they can't give a suitable project, maybe the world's top rich man who is finally looking forward to the stars and the moon will slip away from their eyes, and they must not allow this kind of thing.
The middle-aged man next to the secretary said: "Our Myanmar is rich in agricultural and forestry resources, the manufacturing industry is cheap, and the mineral, natural gas, and oil resources are also very good, so how can there be no suitable investment projects?" ”
Ji Sheng's original impression of Myanmar was only two words, jade.
But when the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ji Sheng suddenly thought of one thing, there are a lot of precious timber in Myanmar, such as Burmese mahogany and teak, which are very profitable.
In addition, Burma's oil reserves are relatively abundant, and the maximum output before the war in '88 could reach one million tons per year.
But even in a country with such abundant oil resources, even in the modern world, oil operators can only rank third in Asia, why is that?
In the final analysis, the industry is still weak.
Now that Secretary Rui and his group have taken the initiative to talk about natural resources such as oil and natural gas, it is obvious that in addition to seeking investment, they also hope that Ji Sheng can bring some high-end industrial technology and equipment from the beautiful country.
Needless to say, oil is a lucrative industry, and everyone knows it.
Ji Sheng was thrilled by what Secretary Rui and others said, if he could eat a few oil fields in Myanmar, his career would take off all of a sudden, and it was well-founded, unlike financial rootless duckweed.
In addition, Myanmar is not only rich in oil and natural gas resources, such as gemstones, tungsten, tin, antimony, lead, zinc, copper, manganese, gold, silver and other reserves are very good, agriculture is also known as the "breadbasket of Asia", once the world's major rice exporters, rice, wheat, corn, peanuts, sesame, cotton, etc., all of which are exported in very large quantities.
Ji Sheng pondered that if he developed based in Myanmar, it seemed that the future prospects would be good.
But there is a problem here, that is, Myanmar is now a military and political state, and if there is a change of military and political power, his previous investment may be wasted all at once, unless he can make Myanmar inseparable from himself.
Ji Sheng's heart was moved, he looked at Secretary Rui and said: "I feel good about what you said, but there are too many domestic affairs in your country, and I am afraid that I will not get the due protection after investment." ”
"You can rest assured of that." Secretary Rui said truthfully: "Although there are many internal affairs in Myanmar, and it may even become ruled by others tomorrow, but no matter who rules, I hope that the country's development will get better and better. ”
Ji Sheng knew that what he said was true, and according to his memory, although General Su Mao had not been in charge of Burma for a few years, from 1988 to 1992, General Than Shwe, who later accepted Burma, was in charge for 19 years, and General Than Shwe and General Su Mao were of the same faction, and the same was true of those who were in charge after General Than Shwe.
What does this mean?
On behalf of the People's Republic of China, if Ji Sheng and Secretary Rui negotiate the investment project, as long as the Myanmar side follows the normal historical trend, the matter of his investment will be recognized.
Ji Sheng thinks that he can invest, if he can really get the right to oil fields and mineral exploitation, this will be more profitable than contracting jade mines, and then he will have no big problem building another oil giant "Exxon" in Myanmar.
You must know that after Exxon later merged with Mobil, the oil equivalent production in the first quarter of 22 was only 3.7 million barrels, which is equivalent to twice the annual output of Myanmar in a year.
In fact, as long as the money is enough, Ji Sheng is not afraid that Myanmar will not agree.
In addition, there are other mineral resources and agricultural and forestry resources, etc., Ji Sheng feels that they can be invested.
It's just that it's still the same sentence, what is too easy to get will not be cherished.
Ji Sheng deliberately pretended to be very embarrassed: "Why don't I think about it again?" ”
"Okay, okay." Secretary Rui didn't dare to push too hard, for fear that Ji Sheng would run away if he was unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "No matter what you are willing to invest in, Mr. Ji, we can agree." ”
Ji Sheng half-jokingly said: "Can Jade Minerals also agree?" ”
Secretary Rui was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Of course I agree, as long as you are willing to invest, why don't you agree?" ”
Myanmar's pillar industry is agriculture and forestry, jade is really not so important, especially in the current era, the total turnover of a public market is only a few million US dollars, and the profit is even less if the cost is removed.
Secretary Rui doesn't care.
But Ji Sheng couldn't breathe when he heard it, "Then I'll invest in some jade mines first?" ”
"Yes." Secretary Rui was overjoyed: "How much are you willing to invest?" ”
Ji Sheng did not give the amount directly, but asked: "How many jade minerals are you willing to contract for me?" ”
Secretary Rui said bluntly: "We have ten major openings, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, such as a joint venture, then it is not a big deal that all the ten major openings are open to you, of course, the cost of such cooperation is certainly not low, I expect it to be no less than ...... A hundred million dollars. ”
Speaking of which, Secretary Rui was nervous.
Other Burmese executives sitting at the table were also nervous.
100 million US dollars is a big mouth, after all, Myanmar's jadeite exports have not exceeded 10 million US dollars a year, and the asking price is 100 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than ten years of total export money, and it is still a joint company, even if they take 50% of the shares, Ji Sheng can only get half of the jadeite mine output every year.
They were very nervous, for fear that Ji Sheng would refuse.
But Ji Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "What about the cooperation period?" ”
Secretary Rui said cautiously: "Since it is a joint establishment of the company, how can it be during the cooperation?" Unless the company goes bankrupt, we will continue to cooperate. ”
Ji Sheng almost fainted happily, but he still asked cautiously: "Shares?" ”
Secretary Rui thought for a moment and said, "Because it involves minerals, our side wants to account for 51% of the relative controlling shares." ”
Ji Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "It's not impossible for you to hold fifty-one percent of the shares, but I have a request." ”
"What requirements?" The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier asked.
Ji Sheng blinked and said: "The turnover dividend will be distributed according to the shares, I have no opinion, my requirement is that half of the annual jade mine output must be handed over to me for sale, and the sales I give to the company will not be lower than the market price, how?" ”
You're willing to invest $100 million.
Also share the pressure of sales?
Secretary Rui and the others were almost crazy with joy, "No problem. ”
Ji Sheng immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Then we will cooperate happily?" ”
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for his willingness to invest."
"Mr. Ji, thank you, thank you so much."
Secretary Swee and a group of high-level Burmese officials were very happy.
Ji Sheng responded to them, and at the same time, he was more excited than this group of people in his heart, he never thought that it would be difficult to win the right to mine jadeite, but today he did it.
Although Secretary Rui means that the jadeite mining right is still on the side of Myanmar, but Ji Sheng can take half of the jadeite rough mined in the future to sell, that is to say, he has obtained half of the annual output of jadeite mines in Myanmar, whether it is brought back to modern society or sold in this time and space, it is a profitable deal, after all, he knows that the jadeite industry will develop better and better in the next few decades, and there is no possibility of losing money.
In this way, he has a source for doing jade business in modern society, and the company is about to take off!
One person controls half of Myanmar's annual jadeite mineral production!
Well, it's just that this has to wait until the contract is signed to start calculating, and if Ji Sheng wants to bring jade back to modern society, it depends on this public offer.
Ji Sheng pondered that he had such a magic skill as perception enhancement anyway, and he would go to the public market scene after dinner, and he should be able to find a lot of superb jadeite to solve the urgent needs of modern society.
Wait until the end of the public bargain and then slowly talk about other cooperation with Myanmar.
