Chapter 0218 – The Mark Rises, the Storm Clouds Move (VII)

With the approach of twelve o’clock at noon. Gambling venue people, also gradually scarce up, in addition to those armed police and security guards with loaded guns, picking wool is already very few people, even the various stalls in the wool bosses, are left behind individuals to watch the stalls, their own run without a trace.

“Damn, this gambling conference organizers, not too small, how to get a few more air conditioning, grandma, can be hot dead me.”

Fatty Ma kept wiping his sweat with a towel, looking at the people sitting on the podium in the front row with a grudging face, the place where those people were sitting was directly facing the air conditioner’s air vents.

This bidding site, also in the wool venue inside, converted from a closed warehouse, in the front of the podium, ten chairs in a row, the whole put more than thirty rows, so there are still a large part of the people standing in the aisle on both sides of the seats. Waiting for the dark bidding gambling material opening.

In fact, there are three or four air conditioners installed here, but the space is really too big, it does not work at all.

Zhuang Rui and Fatty Ma and Song Jun three people, is now waiting in this Pingzhou Gambling Conference bidding venue, they came early, grabbed a seat, sitting next to Zhuang Rui is Lei Lei and her grandfather and uncle, as for Lei Lei’s cousin Wei Zijiang, can only enjoy the treatment of standing in the aisle.

Zhou Rui had just brought the White Lion back to the hotel, and now on this occasion, it was a bit inappropriate for the White Lion to be here.

“By the way, Lei Lei, I forgot to tell you, the wool in this gambling conference, it is likely that the price will increase, your piece of wool of 130,000 won’t necessarily be able to take it down.”

Zhuang Rui also only knew about this matter this morning, and then he was busy going to line up to bid, and only now did he remember that he actually forgot to tell Lei Lei about this.

“Waiting for you to give me to say, the yellow flowers and vegetables are cool, that piece of wool I voted eighteen hundred thousand bid, how is it, this price should be able to take it down, right?”

Lei Lei’s face was a little smug, but she went to bid on her own alone, the reason was very simple, grandpa and uncle didn’t support her, she could only take out eighteen thousand dollars of deposit herself. Voted for that piece of wool.

Zhuang Rui nodded, but did not say, he also has no bottom in his heart, who knows this woolen increase, will be to what height, just look at the bidding site of the crazy, I’m afraid that in addition to those woolen merchants, in addition to the rest of the people, the winners will not be a lot.

Looking at the side of Song Jun, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered the topic of the morning, can not help but twisted his face to Song Jun asked: “Song brother, I seem to bet on the stone, estimated that forty percent of the people, are not engaged in the jade this line of work, is it all you and Ma, such as, hoarding investment?”

Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui’s question, said with a disdainful face: “They hoarded the fart of goods, all want to come to take advantage of, betting on the rise can be a profit ah! There’s no tax on the sale of this stuff. It’s much more cost-effective than doing traditional business.”

Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, it is really so, since the gambling stone into the country, in addition to the normal channels in accordance with the customs charges a little symbolic tariffs (that is to say, are some broken stone, can not collect a few tariffs) in addition to the rest of the transaction, no longer used to generate any costs.

I do not know because of what reason, for both sides of the tax, there has not been a clear statement, so many people in the traditional industry, are involved in, but also caused today’s gambling this slightly deformed prosperity.

However, this situation should not last long, the state can not look at this piece of tax revenue lost for nothing, discerning people have seen this, so take advantage of the time now there is no argument, will reach into this field, even if you do not do it for a long time, fishing for a go, that is also earned.

“Cough cough ……” the sound of the test microphone from the microphone of the front desk sounded, the noisy bid opening venue, suddenly quiet.

“Dear friends, dear guests, the 2004 Annual Pingzhou Jade Bidding and Trade Fair, the dark bid opening ……”

Speaking here, the middle-aged man on the stage had some embarrassment on his face, and after hesitating for a while, he continued, “Due to the excessive number of markups that have temporarily changed the bidding base, it is more troublesome to count them up, and the opening of the dark bidding is postponed for half an hour ……”

Hearing these words. The stage like a thunderbolt generally rang, there is dissatisfaction, there is understanding, there is a broken mouth, there is also not thought of, the whole is a multitude of people.

But the arm is always twisted but the big leg, the crowd after the noise, can only honestly stay here waiting for the opening of the bidding, you are not happy, it does not matter, turn back down the body, you can see the door, the people here can not wait to go a few more, it will not be so crowded.

“This is not a tease!” Zhuang Rui was somewhat speechless.

“Hey, what’s your kid’s hurry, even if others take computerized statistics, the data doesn’t still have to be manually entered in ah! Zhuang Rui, it looks like you’ve put in quite a few bids, right?” Song Jun saw Zhuang Rui’s impatient look and said with a smile.

“Not many copies, I voted for a lower price, Song brother you?” Zhuang Rui casually changed the topic to Song Jun.

“I voted for more than two hundred copies, but how many can I win. That’s hard to say, there are a lot of bids due to lack of time, I didn’t have time to change the bidding.”

Song Jun’s words made Zhuang Rui staggered, originally thought that he had cast more than fifty bids has been considered a lot, did not think that other people a cast are hundreds of copies, but think about it, Song Jun’s purpose this time to come, is to hoard wool, do not spread the net a little bigger, simply can not catch the fish ah!

“We entered this business, some late ah! I heard that some years ago to shoot these wool, only a little higher than the base price can be taken down, now twice as high as it is not possible to say, depending on the price of other people, but also depends on the owner of the wool is happy or not, we are considered to be a good time to miss it!”

Fatty Ma for their own a few years ago did not get involved in this field, is a bit grudging.

Song Jun said in disbelief, “Come on! If you had started playing with wool a few years ago, I’m afraid the price would have already doubled.”

“It’s time to open the bidding.”

Zhuang Rui heard next to the two more than one person high big speakers, out of the “buzz” sound, suddenly nervous, not only him, even the original noisy warehouse, also immediately became silent, the entire bidding site, only the microphone debugging sound echoing.

“Sorry, let friends wait for a long time, the following Pingzhou Jade Bidding Club, dark bid opening officially begins.”

Just now that voice rang out, fortunately, there is no leader speech, directly announced the opening of the bidding, the opening of the dark bidding is in accordance with the labeling of the rough material, starting from the number one bid.

“Bid number one, seven and a half million dollars, winning bid number 580, congratulations to this friend.”

“Bid number two, four million three hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, winning bid number 23, congratulations.”

“Bid number three, eleven million eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars, winning bid number 198, congratulations.”

“Bid number four, two and a half million dollars, winning bid number 68 ……”

“Bid number five, nine million eight hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars, winning bid number 568……”

With the sound emitted from the speakers. The entire bid opening site became silent, opened this first five bids, so that all the people in the field are stagnant, just open five bids, actually appeared tens of millions of bids, and all of them over a million, this is really some too crazy.

The silence was broken by who knows, the whole scene is like cool water poured into the hot frying pan general, boom exploded, the sound of discussion, even in the stereo is still reading down the sound of the label are covered, the stage that holds the microphone, some overwhelmed by looking at the stage, temporarily stopped to continue to open the bid.

Zhuang Rui know the order of the mark, is in accordance with the performance of the wool open skylight formulated, he also vaguely remembered that the third mark, probably more than forty kilograms of semi-gambling wool, the skylight where the open is a glass species, head transparency is very good, but some of the color is slightly light, can only be considered as a top-grade wool.

And Zhuang Rui once penetrated the interior of the piece of wool, which can be pulled out at most about three kilograms of jade, and very scattered, not suitable for making bracelets, in this way, its value will be greatly reduced, more than 10 million price, alone by making a few pendants ring and other jewelry, I’m afraid to shoot this piece of wool, to lose to the grandmother’s home.

This piece of bidding is set at the bottom of one million, Zhuang Rui also cast, he cast the mark is one million two hundred thousand, although he knows that he won the bidding hope is not big, but he also never thought that the final winning price, actually than he cast the price of the whole ten times higher than his own money, even to others to plug the gap in the qualifications are not.

It seems that this time the Burmese side of the news, for the Pingzhou the impact of the gambling conference, is really too big point, so regardless of the cost of the investment, Zhuang Rui really can not imagine, this winning bidder exactly how to earn back, I’m afraid that the person to get the wool also dare not easily deciphered the stone, either hoarded in the hands of the hand, is to turn to resell, or else, how to do it is a word of payback.

“This …… this motherfucker is also too outrageous, right?”

Always performance are very calm Song Jun, at this moment also some loss of composure, mouth muttering, face a look of incredulity.

“It seems that those who want to enter the jadeite business circle in the future, don’t want to play on without a strong capital.”

Fatty Ma’s words rang out, a few people beside him were nodding their heads, Lei Lei’s grandfather and uncle, even more so, had a bitter look on their faces, it must have been that they also voted for the bidding of these pieces of wool, and the result was naturally visible from their faces.

“Brother Ma, do you think the piece of wool we voted for will win the bid?” Faced with such a crazy bid, Zhuang Rui’s heart was a tiny bit bottomless.

“It should …… be possible! No hurry, let’s see, let’s see …… first.”

Fatty Ma kept wiping his sweat with a towel and lost his usual confidence in his tone.
