Chapter 592 Jadeite Fair
Lin Ran and the other five finally entered the venue smoothly after being searched for security checks.
Lin Ran looked carefully at the venue, which was crowded with people, but they were obviously people with status.
He walked along the main road and saw jadeite stones on both sides scattered together according to their prices.
However, there is a reserve price marked in front of them.
Moreover, next to the original stone, there is a box.
"What is this?" Lin Ran saw this business model for the first time and found it very interesting.
Zheng Xueming explained: "This is called a bidding box. If someone likes the jadeite rough stone, he will tear off a piece of paper from the note pad next to him, write the price and name he gave, and then put the paper into the bidding box. .”
"The bidding results will be announced when the conference is over."
"The organizer will take out all the papers in the bidding box and compare them. Whoever bids the highest price will own the rough stone."
This model is actually the market version of the auction.
But Lin Ran still had some doubts.
The items in the auction must at least pass through the eyes of a master.
As for the rough stone trade fair, how can we ensure the quality of the rough stones there?
It's totally gambling!
Lin Ran looked carefully and found that almost every piece of rough stone was valuable.
It costs a few hundred yuan to move.
"What if I shoot but have no money?" Lin Ran thought of this loophole.
"Haha, this is Brother Lin's first time." Boss Zhou laughed after hearing this, "Not everyone is qualified to buy rough stones. If you want to come in, you have to pay a deposit of [-] to the organizer. Only then can you participate in the bidding of jade rough stones."
"Yes, if the deposit is not collected, it is inevitable that someone will deliberately cause trouble and bid maliciously." Zheng Xueming said with a smile.
Because it has happened before, someone won the bid but didn’t want to buy it.
This loophole was discovered, so the organizers added this rule.
A deposit of [-]!
Good guy, Lin Ran took a breath. It turns out that the threshold for entry is so high. China in the 80s was not as poor as it seemed.
The venue was filled with people and excitement.
Lin Ran noticed that most of them were businessmen from jewelry stores.
The purpose of their coming is obvious, it is the best jadeite.
The other part was something Lin Ran had met at Gambling Stone Shop. They were probably retail investors who just wanted to gamble.
Of course, most of the attendees at the venue were people who came with their bosses or family members and could not afford to buy raw jade stones, just to watch the excitement.
The crowd was quickly divided into three categories by Lin Ran.
The vast majority of people were watching the fun.
Stone gambling has just begun, and the rough stone conference will naturally attract people who like to watch stone gambling.
"Brother Zheng, is this the batch of goods you want me to see?" Lin Ran asked.
"Yes, Brother Lin, we plan to purchase [-] yuan of goods. If we can get a piece of top quality, that will be enough." Zheng Xueming said with a smile.
"What if not?" Lin Ran was confused. Betting on stones was a very risky thing, unlike what Zheng Xueming and Chen Cheng did.
Zheng Xueming pulled Lin Ran aside and whispered: "It's like this. Some time ago, a top-quality rough stone called the Jade Emperor came out of Myanmar. All the rough stones in their mine were sold."
"Some of them have flowed into this market." Zheng Xueming continued, "But brother Lin, don't worry, the rough stones at this venue also have admission standards. They are all high-quality rough stones. Brother Chen usually buys them here. "
After seeing Lin Ran help Yang Jianlong get a small ice seed by gambling on stones, Chen Cheng also broadened his ideas and considered importing raw stones as raw materials.
Although it was only half a year, he also figured out some ways.
Time passed so fast, Lin Ran put his hands in his pockets, thinking that the last time he gambled on stones was half a year ago. At that time, he was penniless and looking for ways to deal with Zhang Mazi.
Now that he is rich, he can visit the high-end stone gambling market and look quite free and easy.
While Lin Ran was still reminiscing, the three bosses, Zhou and others, had already gathered in front of the 100-yuan-a-piece rough stone stall and started talking.
"This batch of rough stones was transported from the old pit in Myanmar. There should be a high probability that jadeite will be found in them."
"It's only 100 yuan, isn't it a bit expensive?" Boss Kan felt a little distressed.
"The quality of jadeite from Laokeng is guaranteed, but of course it is expensive." The silent boss Li rarely expressed his opinion.
It seems that they all have experience and have a certain understanding of rough stones.
Are all the rough jade stones at the trade conference high-quality?
This made Lin Ran feel a little unbelievable.
In Panjiayuan Tianzi Street, there are also many stone gambling shops, and the prices of rough stones there are almost the same as here.
It seems that there should be many people purchasing goods from here to make the difference.
But what to say about raw jadeite, there is no way to guarantee the quality.
At best, they say they come from a certain pit, what kind of jade has been produced in the past, and the concept of high-quality rough stones is simply deceiving laymen.
"Would you like to take a gamble?" Boss Zhou was a little excited when he looked at the rough stone in front of him.
"Dad Zhou, I think you will definitely make a fortune by picking up the leaks." Boss Kan encouraged him with a smile.
Under his instigation, Boss Zhou also made up his mind.
"Then I'll buy this batch." He looked at a pile of numbered rough stones, and the reserve price on the front was [-].
He was cruel and wrote his price on it.
"Lao Zhou, did you really take the photo?" Boss Kan's eyes couldn't help but shine when he saw how generous he was.
"Yes, I think it's interesting."
"Then I want to take pictures too."
"Lao Kan, how could you do this?"
"The shopping mall is like a battlefield, so there is no need to talk about human feelings." Boss Kan also tore off a piece of paper and wrote down his bid.
"Hey, we won't make any money this way."
"There will always be. I don't know how much money you paid." Boss Kan chuckled.
Zheng Xueming was also interested in these stones and glanced at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran just shook his head slightly and said nothing.
Seeing Lin Ran's actions, Zheng Xueming chose to give up.
Just after they left, Lin Ran noticed that Boss Li, who was walking the slowest, also tore off a note.
They continued to walk forward, and at this moment, Lin Ran actually saw a person walking towards him with a smile.
At first glance, he looks like a Han Chinese, but his skin is a little dark, and he is obviously from the tropics.
Seeing him approaching, several bosses were a little puzzled.
They have a bad impression of foreigners, especially Burmese, so they all keep their briefcases tight.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I am from the Aung San mine. I saw that you just took pictures of the rough stones from our mine, so I came to say hello to you." He showed his white teeth.
Unexpectedly, speaking fluent Chinese made them relax their guard a little.
After listening to his introduction, Zheng Xueming whispered to Lin Ran: "Angshan Mine is one of the well-known old mines, and it is also the mine where the King of Emerald rough stone was previously produced!"
