Chapter 0959 – Tang Lao

Gambling in this business, the threshold of entry is not too high, not too low, there is only one condition, have money, which makes many people doing traditional business have intervened in.

These people in the original field is originally successful people, after entering the gambling circle is also very high, although also once heard of Zhuang Rui’s glorious record, but now see Zhuang Rui so young, but a little look at the eye.

“Old man Tang is here.”

“It’s really Old Man Tang, quick, go over and take a look.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the crowd, and the entire square suddenly stirred up, and those people who were originally pointing around Zhuang Rui couldn’t care less about commenting on Zhuang Rui at this moment, and they all crowded towards the periphery.

Zhuang Rui also heard the shouts of those people, side face to Han Haowei, asked softly: “Is it that Tang Lao in Yunnan?”

Zhuang Rui actually stayed in the jade circle not long, in addition to recognizing some jadeite merchants, for those well-known appraisers and experts in the circle, but do not know much.

But Tang Lao’s name he still heard, when those boring people, is to compare him and Tang Lao, jointly known as the north and south of the two places of the “Jade King”.

Han Haowei is a person with a heart, he was afraid of Zhuang Rui young and vigorous, and then stored and Tang old comparison of the mind, so spoke up and said: “Older brother, Tang old in this Ho when almost more than half a century, you do not mind ah!”

Zhuang Rui smiled at the words, he identified the jadeite raw stone, based on just the eyes of the aura, the old man only admire the part, where will give birth to other ideas, and then waved his hand and said: “Old Han, Tang Lao is our jade industry when the old-timers, and Jade King of a generation, counting is also my elders, how can I possibly eat the old man’s vinegar it? ”

Zhuang Rui once learned from the mouth of the ancient old man, Tang Lao and he is also an old friend for decades, these two years on the phone, much mention of Zhuang Rui, only Zhuang Rui seems to disappear in the jade business, so that Tang Lao feels quite regrettable.

From the words of the old man, Zhuang Rui learned that Tang Rui likes to promote the younger generation, and especially like to help others in the time of gambling, such an old man, will only make Zhuang Rui feel respect. And Tang Lao’s reputation is not Zhuang Rui flash in the pan gambling comparable, that really is really decades of Chinese and foreign jadeite gambling field to break out, which has a lot of paragraphs, have been passed down to this day.

Many people know, Guangdong’s Yangmei area, is a large domestic jade trading center, where almost every family will be involved in gambling, and the initial development of Yangmei, and Tang Lao’s promotion is also an inseparable relationship.

That is still the early nineties happened a thing, that will be the domestic jade trading market is not so hot, Yangmei is not the current jade trading center, at that time is a Myanmar jade businessman, took a piece of more than 400 kilograms of wool, ready to be sold in Yunnan.

As the Spring Festival was approaching, the Burmese merchant was in a hurry to get out of the market, and the price was not very high, about two million, just in the early nineties, this price was a sky-high price.

There are a lot of people are looking at this piece of material, but not a lot of people, and then a group of Yang Beauty also stared at this piece of material, but there is uncertainty in the heart, after all, millions of dollars of objects, this loss may be a lifetime can not turn around.

At that time, the group of Yang beauty to Tang Lao asked for advice, and Tang Lao did not excuse, after a careful look at the material, very truthful to the group that this is a rare piece of violet jade, after buying at least can earn more than 10 million dollars.

Later, under Tang Lao’s maneuvering, the group spent more than 1.3 million dollars to buy this piece of raw stone, and a few months later, when the group saw Tang Lao again, they did not mention that piece of jade again.

Just from this thing, these Yang Beauty every time to find Tang Lao, will buy away from him millions of a goods, even if in other places to buy good goods, but also to take the knife Tang Lao, so that he first look at.

And Tang has an original want to buy and did not buy into the friend, and then said to Tang old nagging, that piece of violet jade earned more than one hundred million, Yangmei as long as and this piece of jade associated with the people have made a lot of money.

Now Yangmei Village has developed into a new high-grade jadeite market, and has replaced Hong Kong as the leader of the jadeite market. Many industry insiders believe that Yangmei started from that piece of violet jadeite.

The fact that one person drove the development of a party’s economy and industry was a testament to Tang Lao’s status and influence in the minds of the people in the circle.

Although this legend may not be true, but it has been circulating for more than ten years, many people still talk about it with a raised eyebrow, and that group of Yang Mei people didn’t come out to deny it, which can already explain a lot.

After the crowd periphery commotion for a while, a group of people clustered around an old man, to the jade trading center door, also do not know whether the guide deliberately, this walking route, but just through the Zhuang Rui and other people standing place.

Zhuang Rui far to the people to see, walking in the forefront of the Tang old man is not tall, wearing a beige Chinese-style lab coat, people a little thin, full of white hair, and a little bald, a pair of eyes is very God, constantly and both sides of the people greetings, and no Jade King’s arrogance, people are very kind.

Tang Lao side of a person, after seeing Zhuang Rui and other people, quietly in the ear of the old man said something, originally was walking towards the trading center door of the old man, slowed down the pace, to Zhuang Rui side of the direction.

Zhuang Rui knew that the old man was running towards himself, so he quickly greeted him, and after walking in front of Tang Lao, he bowed deeply, raised his head and said, “Tang Lao, how are you, senior Zhuang Rui, I’ve long heard of you from Master Gu and Uncle Tian, but I’ve never had the chance to see you, and today the kid is fortunate enough to finally be able to listen to Tang Lao’s teachings face to face.”

Tang old man and the ancient master and Xinjiang’s Jade Prince on equal footing, Zhuang Rui naturally have to hold the disciple salute, in the eyes of the old generation, this is very important, or else in the future back to Beijing, Zhuang Rui inevitably have to receive the ancient master’s lesson.

Just Zhuang Rui to the Tang old man salute, and so low profile, but let the surrounding some want to watch the people fell down, they originally thought Zhuang Rui young and vigorous, and Tang old will have some collision?

“Little Zhuang, your grandfather I also know, is also considered to be my teacher, but there are before and after learning to reach the teacher, I this old man can not dare to be you so praise ah!”

Tang Lao smiled happily, holding Zhuang Rui’s hands tightly, refusing to separate for a long time, and he mentioned Zhuang Rui’s grandfather, but also let the onlookers were greatly surprised, dare to say that these two people are still friends?

Zhuang Rui is also a little strange, he just heard of some of Tang Lao’s anecdotes of gambling, his experience is not very understanding, and then spoke up and asked: “Tang Lao, you …… know my grandfather?”

“Recognize, I in the 1950s of the last century, studied geology, after graduating from university, was assigned to the Geological Bureau of the Soviet Union, engaged in geological surveys to find minerals, but in the metamorphic rock area worked for more than 20 years ah! At that time, I had the honor to listen to your grandfather’s several lectures, which about the relationship between regional metamorphic rocks and the formation of emerald, on my later influence is very big.”

After Tang Lao finished these words, the faces of the people showed a dawning realization, and when they looked at Zhuang Rui’s eyes again, there was no longer the scorn that they had just felt, but more than a few moments of enlightenment.

To know, whether it is antiques or jade, belongs to the old line, pay attention to the orderly inheritance, according to the words of Master Tang, Zhuang Rui is from the family of jade, then there are now achievements, is also a matter of course.

Just these people do not know, Zhuang Rui even grandfather’s face have not seen, know that grandfather engaged in geological research work, or a few years ago from the grandfather left down the notes found, simply did not receive what the old man’s teachings.

“Xiao Zhuang, I heard that you are famous in the antique business, when the time comes, my old man will inevitably have to come to the door to ask for advice ah!”

Although Tang Lao is playing with jade, but for the antique collection is a favorite, there are quite a lot of collections at home, in his opinion, gambling on stones is only a small way, and China’s long history of traditional collection, to really see a person’s appreciation level.

“I don’t dare to be, a little dabbling, if Tang Lao has any good objects, feel free to find me to discuss.”

Zhuang Rui in front of Tang Lao can not dare to boast, as the saying goes, old people become smart, these people who have lived most of their lives, each eye is very poisonous. Of course, he will not be presumptuous, there is aura in the eyes, there is no antique in the world that Zhuang Rui can not see through.

“Okay, our masters don’t stand like a stump like to people onlookers, this fair also started, let’s enter the field!”

As Tang Lao and Zhuang Rui were talking, the gate of the Jade Trading Center had been opened, the Myanmar Jade Trade Fair is held four to five times a year, the rules are understood by everyone, and there is no such thing as an opening ceremony.

After entering the jade trading center, Zhuang Rui glanced around, and the previous years there is no change, just that the people who come to gamble on the stone, become more and more, almost every area, are crowded with people.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Rui slightly shook his head, these people, almost ninety percent are from the country, just that ninety percent of the people, may lose their money, gambling can certainly get rich, but also can make people lose their money.

After Tang Lao entered the gambling site, he also slightly frowned, looked at Zhuang Rui beside him and said: “Xiao Zhuang, there are too many materials, it’s better to look at them separately! When it’s noon, let’s have a meal together.”

“Okay, Elder Tang, at noon, the latecomer must be the host!”

Zhuang Rui nodded his head and agreed, he came to Burma this time, in order to hoard a large batch of jadeite raw stones to go back, if he was with Tang Lao all the time, it would be impossible to let go.

After separating from Tang Lao, Zhuang Rui took a look at the signage, and walked directly to the open bidding area, according to the rules, there will be part of the original stone opening bidding in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui does not want to miss the good opportunity.
