Chapter 0962 – Madness (III)
Since the generation of aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, the treatment of human injuries and pains seemed to be invariably unfavorable, just like Ouyang Gang’s ninety-odd year old man, he was able to slow down the aging of his organs, but this time, it seemed to have lost its effectiveness.
Although he poured his best efforts to inject his aura into the old Wu lying on the ground, however, Zhuang Rui felt that the aura was not absorbed by the old Wu, to put it in another way, the person on the ground, most likely, was no longer a living being.
“Make way, make way ……”
“Don’t crowd in front, the doctor is coming, quickly let in ……”
I don’t know who, the jade trading center’s doctor shouted, the crowd made a channel, that I don’t know whether there is a physician’s license or not, took a diagnostic device and placed it on Old Wu’s chest area.
After a minute or so, this doctor slowly shook his head, took down the diagnostic device hanging from his ear, and said in English, “He has stopped breathing and is dead!”
That and Lao Wu together with the Fujian fellow countryman, do not understand English, until the next person translated once, face then showed unbelievable look, shouted loudly: “No …… impossible, Lao Wu just now also …… also ……”
Just think of the old Wu just fainted when the appearance of the old Li with a hand to pull his hair, squatting on the ground, from the twitching shoulders can be seen, this bold man in tears.
“This gentleman should have died suddenly due to myocardial infarction, as for the exact cause of death, further diagnosis is needed.”
The doctor shook his head and stood up, gently patted Old Li’s shoulder and said, “Condolences, this weather is too hot, how to dispose of the aftermath needs to be decided as soon as possible.”
After hearing the translation of the surrounding people, Lao Li’s face was a bit bewildered, he and Lao Wu were friends for more than twenty years, Lao Wu entered the gambling circle, or he introduced him. Just how could Old Li not expect that Old Wu actually finished the last part of his life within the gambling stone field.
“How come?”
“Yeah! How could he die?”
“It’s all because of this weather, I’m afraid the outdoor temperature is over forty degrees, even good people can’t stand it!”
The doctor’s diagnosis made the venue become boiling, more people rushed to the door, and in a short while, the door was surrounded, the venue could only send out military personnel to maintain order.
After a full half an hour’s time, Lao Wu’s body was pulled away by the ambulance, accompanied by Lao Li, a sad face.
Although Lao Wu’s death gave a great shock to the businessmen who participated in the public market this time, but life had to go on, and the public market would not stop because of this, it only cast a shadow over people’s hearts.
“Alas, I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
At noon Zhuang Rui was at Hu Rong’s manor, entertaining Tang Lao and his party, only after the sudden death of Old Wu happened at noon, all the people didn’t have much of an appetite, and looking at the table full of dishes, it was also hard to swallow.
“That little Wu, I saw him in the morning, at that time, his face was not very good, I did not think ……”
Tang Lao’s mood is also very heavy, he gambled for decades, used to seeing the joys and sorrows of the human world, but sudden death in a gambling casino, this is the first time.
Hearing Tang Lao Zhuang Rui realized that after the old Wu woke up from the fainting spell, he immediately selected the wool again under the scorching sun, and waited until noon when he was ready to go back to eat and rest, but he fell headlong to the door of the Jade Trading Center.
“Crazy, crazy stone gambling ah!”
Zhuang Rui shook his head with a bitter smile, but where an industry that can bring in huge profits, no will not make people crazy. From the previous few years, only seven to eight hundred or thousands of people participated in each session of the public market, to almost four thousand people now, it can be illustrated that the crazy scene of gambling on stones. And in the process, I do not know how many people eliminated out, I do not know how many people are already losing their money, desperate.
“The threshold is low, many people just have the money and dare to break into it, all based on luck blindly, and ultimately ended up empty-handed.”
Tang old man is also very touching, he almost in the jade business rolled more than half a century, what kind of gambling occasions have seen, from a penny to a billion dollars, and then from a billion dollars are dumped, such instances are numerous.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this, Tang Lao what do you think about this public market?”
Although Zhuang Rui and Tang old man is known as the North and South “Jade King” but Zhuang Rui know their own roots, if on the identification of jadeite real skills, since they are simply not enough to see.
“Stone more, more people, more money, but jade …… is less.”
Tang Lao words at first sounds very commonplace, but think carefully, is really such a reason, the words are not rough.
This public disk bright and dark mark up the jadeite raw stone is more than half a million pieces, the number of people who participated in the public disk for the most years, is expected to turnover amount will be more than ten billion yuan. But from Zhuang Rui morning observation, the public disk jadeite raw stone quality, compared to his last participation in the public disk, but it is a lot worse, a morning even a piece of ice above the material have not been able to find.
Due to the sudden death event at noon, the final meal was tasteless, after eating lunch and resting for a while, Zhuang Rui and others returned to the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center.
The number of people who came to the Jade Trading Center in the afternoon exceeded the number of people who came in the morning, this is because a lot of people arrived in Myanmar on the same day and did not have time to participate in the trade fair in the morning.
What happened at noon didn’t seem to have any effect on these people, walking inside the crowded venue, everywhere you could see people whose faces were reddened by the sunlight, but their faces had a frenzied look on them.
The advantage of having a lot of people, except for those who have seen Zhuang Rui a few years earlier, a lot of people don’t know who this young lad who wanders in the bright labeling area is, which saves Zhuang Rui a lot of work in dealing with people.
To three thirty in the afternoon, the bright standard time to open the bidding, the process is still the same as a few years ago, but sitting in the bidding hall Zhuang Rui, the mood is not as exciting as last time.
“Damn, isn’t this a pit?”
Looking at the screen constantly changing numbers, Zhuang Rui some dumbfounded, as if those broken stones can be solved out of the glass kind of emperor green general, this offer as a rocket generally rising, the price is outrageous point.
Take Zhuang Rui fancy a piece of ice material, just the surface with a trace of python belt, and mixed with fog silk, performance is not good, the base price of the open bid is thirty thousand euros, has been regarded as relatively high.
But just started to open the bidding, someone actually raised to seven hundred thousand euros, not waiting for Zhuang Rui back to God, the price is climbed to 1.2 million euros, calculated into the yuan, has been ten million day price.
Look at this price, Zhuang Rui heart quite speechless, that inside the ice material, at most can solve out a bracelet out, killed also can not sell off such a high price ah?
Now Zhuang Rui has a little understanding of why the jade market is so hot, you imagine, those raw stone merchants spend millions of dollars to buy millions of dollars of material, is not to do in the finished product selling price on the foot?
Ultimately, the wool comes out of the sheep’s body, so that consumers to pay the bill, and there will be the second best, to fake to do the real thing.
But this way in the long run, only because the market is not standardized, thus leading to consumer distrust, affecting the entire jewelry sales market.
“Shit, do they all have perspective eyes and know that there are materials inside these raw stones?”
As the open bidding proceeded, Zhuang Rui became more and more depressed, because the prices of the more than thirty pieces of raw materials he was looking at almost all exceeded his heart budget.
Even some of the material with very bad external performance, the price was on the basis of the bottom bid, increased by two or three times, which made Zhuang Rui hold the bidder and look at it for half a day, froze and did not input a price into it.
“Damn, all crazy, take money is not money ah?”
Zhuang Rui this time to Myanmar, ready to whole 200 million euros, but according to this momentum, estimated two weeks of open bidding after the opening of the bidding, his 200 million euros will be spent almost.
Finally Zhuang Rui shook his head, did not bid on any piece of material, he believes that after the first day of frenzy, those who bet on the collapse of the people will be convergence, then they will not be too late to make a bid, after all, this day’s material is also nothing worth special attention.
“Laugh now, you’ll have something to cry about later.”
Didn’t wait for the bid opening to end, Zhuang Rui got up and walked outside, looking at those winning bidders cheerfully went to hand over the money to pick up the goods, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but secretly slander in his heart.
After giving Qin Haoran a phone call, know that the old man is still picking the dark bid material, Zhuang Rui greeted Peng Fei and Li Zhen, out of the trading center, I do not know if it is not a psychological effect, what happened at noon, more or less let Zhuang Rui heart is a little depressing.
Due to the late darkness in summer, the end of the Jade Center was also postponed to eight o’clock in the evening, Zhuang Rui would be waiting at the door at six o’clock, and people coming in and out would all glance up at him.
“Let’s go! Let’s go to the stone deciphering area and take a look.”
Zhuang Rui was uncomfortable being looked at, and at that moment, he walked towards the right side of the Jade Trading Center to the stone decomposition area.
People who gamble on stones in Myanmar can almost be divided into three categories, the first category of people are jewelers, buy raw stones are for their own use, this type of people are to bring the purchased raw stones back to the country to hoard or unravel, generally will not decompose the stones in Myanmar.
The second type of person is the raw stone businessman, the raw stone of Myanmar will be trafficked to the domestic public disk, from which to earn the difference in price, is commonly known as the second road trafficker, they are seldom involved in the decomposition of the stone, at most in the performance of the material on the good open a small window.
The third category of people are professional gamblers, who, after purchasing the rough material at the public market, will often decode the stones on site and sell the raw jadeite stones to the jewelers to make a profit.
The Jade Center’s stone solving site is mainly for this type of people to prepare, on-site stone solving is also to help increase the turnover of the public market. You know, if the scene to solve a piece of jadeite big rise, absolutely can stimulate the people adrenaline soaring, make people crazy.
