Chapter 940: Trade Fair Site

Qu Xingye's eyes lit up when he heard what this person said. Shi Lei had also heard of Laokeng.

Generally speaking, rough stones in old pits are already very rare, and most of the rough stones now come from new pits.

However, the rough stones produced in the old pit are often of much better quality than those in the new pit, which also leads to a much higher possibility of producing jade. This is why the total value of the rough stones at this trade is higher than before.

Of course, because the stones are from Laokeng, their appearance is better, and the possibility of betting increases is higher, so the price of rough stones is naturally much higher.

The two passed through the security check and entered the trade fair venue.

As soon as he entered, many people greeted Qu Xingye. It seemed that Qu Xingye was really a regular visitor here, and many of the guests were very familiar with him.

Seeing that Qu Xingye was very polite to Shi Lei, those guests just guessed about Shi Lei's identity. But after the owner of the rough stone trade fair saw it, he knew that Shi Lei must be a big fish.

Qu Xingye has already sent over 100 million in funds here, and he is a relatively large customer. Now that he is so polite to Shi Lei, it only shows that Shi Lei's status and financial strength in China far exceed that of Qu Xingye.

Therefore, a fat black man in his fifties, wearing a Tang suit, came to Qu Xingye and Shi Lei with a smile.

"Mr. Qu, we meet again, I wish you good health!" As he said that, the fat man gave Qu Xingye a big hug and spoke Chinese surprisingly well.

Qu Xingye said: "In Mr. Gonda's place, health is guaranteed. I hope Mr. Gonda can wish me to bring more jade back this time."

Gonda laughed, but his eyes stayed on Shi Lei.

Qu Xingye saw his true intention and said: "This is Mr. Shi Lei, a good friend of mine. I want to come and see him this time."

He said this just to dispel Gonda's idea of ​​selling to Shi Lei, and to prevent Shi Lei from losing control and losing too much money.

Although Shi Lei was successful at a young age and his status was much higher than Qu Xingye's, Shi Lei was young after all and could easily be affected by the atmosphere at the trade fair. Qu Xingye really didn't want to see Shi Lei lose a lot because of this.

Gonda looked at Shi Lei with a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Mr. Shi, I'm Gonda. We are friends when we meet. If there is anything wrong with our hospitality, just tell me and I will ask them to take good care of Mr. Shi. "

Shi Lei shook hands with him and said politely: "Mr. Gonda, you're welcome. I just followed Mr. Qu to gain experience, and the reception was already very good."

Gonda nodded and said, "Just tell me which stone Mr. Shi likes, and I will try my best to give Mr. Shi a satisfactory price."

After saying that, he stopped talking and Gonda left on his own. Only then did Shi Lei start to pay attention to the stones at the fair.

The stones are roughly divided into three categories. The first category is placed together in large and small sizes. There is a sign next to it, which clearly indicates that those stones are worth one thousand yuan per kilogram. In terms of size, they range from several thousand to Ranging from tens of thousands.

These are probably the worst-looking stones. Almost no useful jadeite can be found, and even if the jadeite is found, the water quality will not be very good.

The other type is placed on plates one by one, with the price clearly marked on each piece.

Starting from tens of thousands, the highest is more than 300,000.

As for the rest, a piece of skin has been rubbed away, and some conditions inside can be seen.

Some are obviously green, some have shadows of floc, and some can already see some water heads. There are still a few pieces. Although the skin has been rubbed away, nothing can be seen.

There is no price tag on these rough stones. It should be that the price needs to be negotiated with Gonda, or the one with the highest price will get it.

There are stone-cutting machines at the four corners of the warehouse, which are prepared for those who have purchased stones and want to cut them on the spot.

Qu Xingye told Shi Lei: "Not everyone here will buy. For example, those few over there are the heads of domestic jewelry companies. Although they come here to gamble on stones, they never buy directly. Any stone. Instead, wait until someone digs out the rough stone with better quality and color, and then buy it at a high price. This can minimize their risk. There are also some people who buy the stone. They left directly and would not open here at all. After returning, no matter what kind of stones they found, they would always claim to have found a batch of good jadeite. As for whether the jadeite was purchased at a high price or really from those. What comes out of the stone is unknown.”

Shi Lei nodded and said, "There are so many different aspects of life. Everyone has different ideas."

Qu Xingye sighed and said: "Yes, everyone has different ideas, but in general, everyone is here to gamble. Even those in the jewelry company have adopted the safest method. But there is still a possibility that the stone purchased at a high price will eventually collapse. Anyway, in a place like this, getting rich overnight is not a dream, but there are also many people who lose their fortune overnight. Unfortunately, I am the latter. "

Shi Lei patted Qu Xingye on the shoulder and said: "You will definitely turn around this time. It may not be enough to redeem your factory, but if you can return to the country this time with more than half of the money you owe, I am willing to help you guarantee that you will redeem the factory first, and then you can use the factory as a mortgage and then pay back the money.”

Qu Xingye was stunned, stared at Shi Lei, and said excitedly: "Really?"

Shi Lei nodded and said, "I used to think you were a vicious gambler, but after these two days of communication, I found that you can still be saved. So, to some extent, I am willing to help you, but my help is limited. I can't help you directly settle all your debts."

Qu Xingye excitedly grabbed Shi Lei's arm and said happily, "Mr. Shi, thank you so much. If I can turn things around this time, I will...as long as you have something to do, I will be at your service."

Shi Lei patted his shoulder again and said with a smile, "Let's see if your luck is worth it. Let's go and see those stones."

Qu Xingye was excited. Originally, he needed nearly 100 million yuan to get the factory back, but now that Shi Lei was willing to help him, he only needed to turn the 10 million into 50 million and take it back to get the factory back. Although he would owe the bank 50 million at that time, as long as the factory was there and his customers were still there, he would be able to pay off the debt in two or three years.

He kept introducing various stones and their appearances to Shi Lei, and Shi Lei also kept absorbing various knowledge about gambling stones. Shi Lei found that almost all the people on the scene were watching. Except for a few stones that cost one thousand yuan per kilogram, there was not even a single person who made a bid for these stones that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei's doubts and explained in a low voice: "The trading will last for three days. On the first day, basically no one will make a bid. They will mainly wait and study. At night, when they return to the hotel, many people will gather together to get to know each other and determine which stones are the most worth selling. Especially for those with windows, the price needs to be temporarily negotiated with Gongda, and some even require the highest bidder to win, which makes everyone more cautious."

Shi Lei nodded, showing his understanding, and did not use any skills, but just walked in the crowd.
