Chapter 0184 – Getting What You Want
“The outer skin is brownish black. Slightly yellowish, this performance is like the wool coming out of the old pit of the Damukan factory, but Mr. Zhuang, the wool of the Damukan factory, most of them are more heterochromatic emerald, although they are also out of the very best red jadeite, but ……”
After Master Peng squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, he stood up and said his own insights, but the words were only half spoken, obviously not very optimistic about this large piece of wool.
Although it is true that the price of one thousand dollars a kilogram is not expensive, but it can’t help that this wool is big! Based on fifty kilograms, it would be fifty thousand yuan.
“Is this stone really wool? The kind that can open out jade?”
Zhuang Rui’s words let the people present in the collective lost their voices, there is no kind of instrument in this world can see through the outer skin of the wool that skin layer, moreover, there is no one who dares to make a promise, said which piece of wool inside must be able to come out of the emerald, the reason why it is said to be a gambling stone, the reason is here.
“Indeed it is the wool that comes out of the old pit of the Damukan factory, but can it be deciphered out of the emerald. That’s hard to say.” Master Peng honestly said.
“Little brother, I didn’t lie to you! Our old Yu do wool business for almost twenty years, this reputation is well known ah!”
Yu boss this just breathed a sigh of relief, if it is not for that piece of wool worth more than 100,000 yuan of full gambling, he did not bother and Zhuang Rui nonsense!
“But, I always feel like spending money to buy a piece of waste stone, this heart is blocked ah! Let’s do it this way! Boss Yu, that piece of wool is six thousand dollars a kilogram, I won’t bargain with you, but this piece of wool you said is a hitchhiker’s head, five hundred dollars a kilogram, I’ll take both of them, and find a place to unravel it later on, as if it’s a practice.”
Zhuang Rui’s face acted calmly, just like normal business bargaining in general, not producing a single fluctuation between his looks.
“Alright! Old Yu I’m selling at a loss today.”
Yu boss gritted his teeth, agreed to Zhuang Rui’s offer, that piece of wool as a hitchhiker’s head weighs more than one hundred and ten pounds, he stayed for seven or eight years, during this period at least no less than fifty to sixty people have seen, are a glance after, no longer interested, originally Yu boss moved to unravel the idea of their own. But that also means that the risk is borne by him, this is the wool businessman’s taboo, so only to stay to this day, and now cheaper to deal with out, he is also considered to be a piece of mind.
“Damukan factory full gambling wool fifty-eight kilograms, twenty-nine thousand dollars, Pagang full gambling wool weighs twenty-six kilograms, one hundred and fifty-six thousand yuan, the two together, a total of eighteen hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars, little brother, I calculate correctly, right?”
Boss Yu worked out the price of the two pieces of wool on his calculator, but he hadn’t earned much from these two pieces, so he didn’t say anything to erase the five thousand dollars in change.
“That’s right, Brother Song, you first or me?”
Zhuang Rui nodded, pulling out his bank card from his money clip, and twisted his head to ask Song Jun.
“You brat, rushing up to give money to others! You first!”
Song Jun glared at Zhuang Rui without good humor, in his opinion. The two pieces of wool that Zhuang Rui had bought, no matter whether they were hoarding or deciphering, there was no room for appreciation, they were purely two pieces of money-losing goods.
“Hey, brother Song, you do not know, that kid Da Chuan earned more than 10 million dollars after deciphering the stone, all day on the phone inside the diaphragm me, we also deciphered a piece of tens of millions of dollars of wool angry at him.”
Zhuang Rui with a naive smile walked to the table, swiped the card and entered the amount of eighteen thousand five hundred dollars into the amount, and then enter the password, the transaction is completed, and the feet of the two pieces of wool, but also completely belongs to the Zhuang Rui.
The card transaction is much more convenient than the cash transaction, at least like Song Jun that more than two million to be all cash, I’m afraid of counting the money to spend several hours, waiting for Song Jun to brush the card gap, Zhuang Rui took out his cell phone to give Zhou Rui made a phone call to tell him to the boss of this store door number, let him will be his own Grand Cherokee to drive over.
“What’s the matter, you’re still going to put these two pieces of wool in the car and bring them back?” Song Jun asked with a surprised face after hearing Zhuang Rui’s call.
“Yeah! I don’t have any place to put them! Put it in the car first, the hotel’s security system is also good, besides, with this piece, he can’t steal it without two people!” Zhuang Rui replied as a matter of course.
Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui’s words. Crying and laughing, he said, “Do you know that there is still the expression consignment in this world? You can’t afford to pay for a few consignments?”
Zhuang Rui really do not know that these wool can be shipped, he thought these things are expensive, the purchase of people will certainly rent a car to pull it back, did not think that actually can also be shipped.
Pingzhou specializes in logistics companies to do business with these wool merchants, and then expensive wool, they dare to take over the consignment formalities, just this consignment fee is also ridiculously high, of course, if the wool is lost, they will also be in accordance with the amount of insured price on the consignment note compensation.
“Forget it, I’m going to drive back anyway, these two pieces of wool aren’t too big, so let’s pull them back together! Maybe I’ll unravel it over here in the next couple days when I’m happy!”
Zhuang Rui thought for a while, or decided to bring the wool back by himself, for one thing, he is really a bit uneasy to let the logistics company to consign that piece of wool worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and secondly, he is thinking to get together a lot of people to rub that piece of green under the surface of the all-stakes wool, if it can be out of the hands of the most ideal.
“Whatever!” Song Jun also didn’t take this 100,000 plus wool seriously.
“Come …… here, a few bosses come to eat some watermelon, this day is hot and evil.”
After the business was done, Boss Yu called his own wife to serve a plate of watermelon over. This Guangdong June weather has been as high as thirty-five degrees, open air conditioning a few people are still sweating, eating a frozen watermelon, indeed much cooler.
After eating watermelon, Yu boss made another phone call, this time to call the logistics company to come for consignment formalities, due to the special nature of the gambling stone trade, some logistics companies are twenty-four hours door-to-door receipt of goods, more than within the ground for consignment convenient and flexible a lot.
“Boss Yu, open the door! My car is here.”
Several people moved the wool onto the cart. Just after pulling it to the courtyard and setting it up, the sound of parking came from outside the door, followed by Zhuang Rui’s cell phone ringing.
“Okay, coming right away.” Boss Yu first locked that door of the storehouse and walked to the door to look through the cat’s eye before opening the gate of his house.
The gate just opened open, a white shadow scurried past Yu boss, scared Yu boss feet a stagger, almost fell, look back, a Tibetan mastiff as if calf size, is pouncing on Zhuang Rui.
“This …… this, big yellow, two yellow, on ah!”
Yu boss’s reaction is considered very fast, immediately greeted the two wolfdogs of their own home to help Zhuang Rui, but found that the two Kunming dogs that have always behaved bravely in their own home, at the moment is clamping their tails, hiding at the root of the wall lying down, and then look at Zhuang Rui, just to see the Tibetan mastiff, affectionately sticking out their tongues in the licking of Zhuang Rui’s face.
“Scared me, grandmother, you two animals usually meat eat a lot, the key time to fall off the chain, no interest in things.”
Boss Yu patted his chest, he also knows at this moment that this Tibetan Mastiff should be bred by Zhuang Rui, just looking at the two wolf dogs of his own family, he can’t help but feel depressed, this is all dogs, how can they be so far apart!
“Oh, Yu boss, that Tibetan mastiff I look at are greedy, know not, other people out to forty million yuan, that kid are not sold.” Song Jun looked at the size of the white lion. Is also a little surprised, this is only a few months to see, the size of the white lion has and adult Tibetan mastiff is not much difference.
“Forty million dollars? Good boy ……”
Yu boss and moustache and master Peng heard this sentence, look at the eyes of that one person and one dog, all stared a lot, the heart of the evaluation of Zhuang Rui, even more unlimited dial up.
“Brother Zhou, give me a hand, help me put this piece of wool on the car.”
Zhuang Rui greeted Zhou Rui who came in afterwards, and the two of them laboriously lifted the piece of wool that weighed more than fifty kilograms and walked outside the gate.
“What? Not putting it inside the trunk?”
Zhou Rui saw that Zhuang Rui didn’t open the trunk, but pulled the back door open, and couldn’t help but ask strangely.
“Put it in the middle of the car! This stone is not light in weight.”
Zhuang Rui found a very bad excuse, drilled into the car, first lifted up the rear seat, then put the piece of wool under the seat, and then after putting the seat back, due to the cloth cover on the seat to cover it, from the outside can not be seen at all, in the seat under the seat also put a piece of fifty or sixty pounds of stone.
“You kid, you’re still so careful with such a piece of broken stone.”
After Song Jun followed out and saw it, he shook his head in disbelief.
“Broken stone, if you guys know the red Fei inside, I’m afraid you won’t think so.”
Zhuang Rui didn’t reply, after looking around the Grand Cherokee front and back, he let go of his heart, unless someone steals the car together, otherwise, no one will know that there is still a piece of wool hidden in the car, except for the few people present.
After placing the red Fei wool, Zhuang Rui and that more than twenty kilograms of Pagang wool carried to the trunk, he is trying to wait for the opportunity to rub this piece of wool, as soon as possible out.
A few people in the courtyard waited for a while, Yu boss called the logistics company people also came, in the Song Jun that a few pieces of wool photographed and sealed and handle the relevant procedures, all moved on the car pulled away.
“Xiao Lin Zi, next time to find a faster boss, this is a little too grating.”
Walking out of Boss Yu’s house to the jade street, Song Jun took out more than ten pink old man’s heads from his handbag and handed them to the moustache guy.
After the moustache guy took the money, he said in a loud voice, “Definitely, next time I will make sure to satisfy Boss Song, I will call you tomorrow after I make the arrangements.”
“Don’t, I’ll collect this money when the next time Boss Zhuang alone wants to see the goods!”
Zhuang Rui saw Song Jun’s action, he also counted out a thousand dollars and handed it to the moustache guy, but he was pushed back by the moustache guy and casually handed Zhuang Rui a business card with his contact information on it.
“Brother Song, this person’s family doesn’t have much wool either, are they all saving the good wool for the Stone Gambling Conference?”
Half an hour later, Song Jun and returned to the room to take a shower Zhuang Rui two sat in the hotel’s cafe, the reason is that Song Jun would like to talk more with his little brother, he is not willing to see Zhuang Rui will buy a villa’s hope, are invested in the gambling stone above.
“This located boss has quite a lot of good stuff on hand, just like this treasury just now, he has two more elsewhere. It’s considered a ‘big account’, and I’m sure it’s one of the unpopular characters over in Myanmar.” Song Jun laughed lightly and said in disbelief.
“What does this have to do with Burma?” Zhuang Rui asked strangely.
“Nonsense, of course it has something to do with Myanmar, Myanmar’s rules for jadeite rough stones are relatively strict, requiring that the rough stones must be sold through the channels of the Gambling Conference, but the good rough stones, before Myanmar held the Gambling Conference, were already being favored by many buyers on the Chinese side. Each of the ‘big players’ involved in the sale of rough stones must have their own secret channel to bypass the Myanmar Customs, because the really good raw stones will not participate in the Rangoon Gambling Congress, so some people will take the risk of transporting the good raw stones to China in advance without participating in the Gambling Congress, which is considered as smuggling according to Myanmar’s regulations. I’m afraid that Mr. Yu is one of these people. In fact, the price of jadeite in the country is all speculated up by these Pingzhou wool merchants, and we are all considered late to enter the market.”
After listening to Song Jun’s words, Zhuang Rui is really understand the real situation of Pingzhou gambling stones, than he originally imagined, but also a lot more complicated.
Originally, in the eighties, jadeite jade wasn’t worth much in Burma, because jade culture was only found in China, and later, Pingzhou merchants discovered jade from Burma, secretly transported it to the country, and called it a high price in the country.
But a few years ago, a few Chinese who monopolized the market in Pingzhou, there was an unequal distribution of benefits, and someone brought the matter to light, and only then did the Burmese government begin to seriously pursue the matter.
Since then, Myanmar has required that gambling stones need to enter the trading hall in Yangon in order to be traded, therefore, the companies that do business in importing raw stones are no longer as flashy as they used to be, but due to the channels that remain from the past, people specializing in smuggling of raw stones still gather in Pingzhou, and these smuggling companies have already made connections in Myanmar and directly transport them to and from the market by car.
Although the smuggling of raw stones still had a certain risk, but once it was successfully transported to the country, it was basically still a steady profit.
“By the way, old brother, listen to brother Song a word, this gambling is always good news not bad news, you hear all the news is gambling up, but the gambling of this kind of people, but I do not know how many. The last time you and Da Chuan, that is pure luck, but this luck can not follow you again and again, right? These two stones are bought, in the future, you’d better make fewer moves, and stop when it’s appropriate!”
After the two of them chatted for a while, Song Jun remembered the purpose of his appointment with Zhuang Rui, and spoke out bitterly to advise.
