Section 1205: Business that I Don’t Understand
The largest warehouses in Hong Kong Wharf have been rented by a ** person surnamed Li in the last few days, and the area is very huge, accounting for almost one-third of the entire wharf. There was no cargo here at all, and the person surnamed Li never came, leaving the warehouse workers on the dock idle all the time. Although no one came, they still came to work on time. Their own work accomplishment is directly related.
Thousands of dock workers have been paid for two days for nothing. On the third day, a large container ship from Myanmar arrived. They didn't even know what was in it, but judging by the weight, it was very heavy. , because they used the largest crane, and they don’t know what’s in it, but they all know that Mr. Li from Myanmar has placed a huge temporary insurance on this batch of goods from the largest insurance company in Hong Kong, that is, In order to ensure the safety of these goods in the past few days, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in insurance funds are required in such a short period of time in a week. The dock workers still have their own abilities. They can guess from this. The things inside should be very valuable, but if it is gold, it is impossible to have such an expensive insurance money. What is inside?
Today, this question can basically be solved, because Mr. Li’s subordinates have come here in advance, saying that their boss will bring customers over to inspect the goods in a while, and ask them to open one of the containers. Originally, this kind of work It only needs a dozen people to complete it, but because of curiosity, mainly because there is nothing else to do, all the warehouse workers of thousands of people have come here to watch, and they have to see how the goods with such a high insurance amount are. what is it.
The first thing a group of people saw was a dozen high-end cars coming over the road. Although Mercedes-Benz and BMW are nothing in Hong Kong, not everyone in Hong Kong has such a car, and the warehouse workers on these docks are generally People with relatively low income usually have to envy a long time when they see such a person, but today they saw so many, no wonder the goods in it require such a high insurance premium, it turns out that the things in it are really valuable .
"I told you, don't be stunned. Our boss is coming here soon. We should open it quickly and move out all the contents. If the boss is in a good mood, everyone
The fee will definitely not be less. "Li Cong, one of the men brought over from Myanmar, looked at these dock workers and said, these people are just looking at famous cars, and they don't do their own work. When people see that they are a Burmese, they immediately look down on me. They say this or that. I didn’t expect that I could order these Hong Kong people to do things this time. Don’t mention how comfortable I am, it’s all my own. Brought by the new owner.
These workers also wanted to see who the people who got on and off the car were, but that was obviously not as important as the tip that the Burmese said. Their usual source of salary is their biggest income, but some bosses gave me tips. Tips are also a big income. Last time, an important sculpture was shipped from Europe, and they did a good job. In the end, everyone got a tip of 2,000 yuan.
You must know that their salary is only more than 10,000 yuan, and one-fifth of their income is still very important to them. With so many rich people here today, it may be another good opportunity to make money.
These people immediately opened the door of the container. Everything in front of them surprised these people. Did they make a mistake? How can there be so many stones in the house, and none of them are good stones. If there are some expensive building materials, there may be such treatment, but looking at these things inside, it seems that they are some inferior goods Yes, there are some green things on the surface, could it be that they were dropped? Everyone is a little scared when they think of the huge insurance money. If something goes wrong, someone will definitely call the police, and it will be really troublesome then. Let alone taking tips, these people will have problems even in their own jobs.
"Hurry up and work, I said, what are you guys doing in a daze? It's just these things, move them out... When the Burmese men saw these Hong Kong people, they all stared at these stones in a daze. So many stones came here, and they were shipped in containers. Of course, these people can’t stand it. People in the upper class naturally know that these things are all rough jadeite, and they are all top-quality jadeite rough, but these docks The workers didn't know it at all, and they thought these things were just rubbish stones, which were useless at all. After hearing what the owner said, they didn't worry so much, and began to direct people to give the rough jadeite stones little by little. It’s just that these people want to go up to see what’s different about this stone when they are moving it out. Do these stones have some other functions? Until hundreds of stones are moved out, they also Didn't see any difference.
The largest of these hundreds of fast stones weighs several tons, and the smallest weighs tens of kilograms in the hand. What are these irregular objects for? Although Hong Kong is not very big, there is no shortage of stones. Why do you bring these things here from Myanmar all the way? There is also someone who knows something about this, and he vaguely has an [answer] in his mind. Before he can say it, the limousine over there has come to a complete stop, and the dozen or so people who got off the car quickly Some people walked towards the rough stone area, and some people made phone calls while walking, either asking about funds or calling their good friends and telling them to come here.
"Mr. Li, I really didn't expect you to have such a real jadeite in your hand. It seems that there are a lot of them. They came out of the old city. After so many days, we haven't seen so many jadeites in Hong Kong. Rough stones, everyone must have them, but they don’t take them out.” Ling Tengyun ran over quickly when he saw these rough emerald stones and said a few words to Li Cong. These things are all good things. Maybe there will be jade in one of them. If those guys get good things for me when I talk to Li Cong, wouldn't I have to suffer and die.
Li Cong still wants to say a few words to this guy? When Hong Kong wanted to talk, this guy couldn't even find his shadow. Like those people, he took some of his own equipment and started to observe the stone. What a group of dedicated people. , but with those magnifying glasses in your hands, can you see the emerald inside?
"Boss, everything is done, so I opened one. There are 455 large and small stones in it. This is the serial number." The Burmese saw Li Cong coming and hurriedly brought all the information about the container, and Dozens of people under him are staring at those who look at the stones. Although they look like ordinary stones on the surface, their value is very expensive, so it is better to pay attention to it, so as not to be taken by these people. , At that time, there is no place to cry by myself. Such a good collaboration is not so easy to find. It all takes luck.
Li Cong nodded his head and took out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars from his bag and told this guy to send it over there. People can’t do their work for nothing in hot weather. Li Cong also knows that no matter what you do in a place like Hong Kong Tipping is required. Although the law does not expressly stipulate it, if you don’t have a tip, these people probably don’t have much energy to work. This is a social atmosphere and there is no way to do it.
"Everyone, don't worry, I didn't ask other people to come to see the stones. If you like them, you can come to me to estimate the price. If your bids can reach my psychological price, you can take them directly." Li Cong found a stone Sitting down in a cool place, he said, a few assistants around him have already connected the computer, and everything is well prepared today, just to see the price of these rough jadeites, and then look at the price of jadeite jewelry in the evening Price, generally you can know the whole price trend, and then you won't suffer too much, and let these second-hand traffickers make money.
These rock-picking bosses all applauded when they heard what Li Cong said. They can catch up with such a thing, and now they all have to thank Ling Tengyun for taking out so many rough emerald stones. Can there be anyone else? It must be the person who is going to hold a public offering. The purpose of doing this is to use people like yourself to try. Even if they are used as an experimental product, these people are very happy to pick them up. After all, such good performance materials are really not good. How common is it? They have also seen many so-called precious stones, but without exception, they are not from the old pits in Myanmar. Some man-made things in the city. Now that they see pure natural ones, can they not be tempted?
"Brother, we are all 〖Chinese〗 Chinese, do you have any objection to calling you that?" After all, old Ling Tengyun is different from these people. This guy quickly selected the rough jadeite he needed, and came to make friends with Li Cong Seeing Li Cong nodded with a smile, the guy continued, "Brother, these stones are all for me. You can open the price as you like, and I will never bargain." Li Cong glanced at the price in his hand. The number of these stones that this guy is looking for is a bit emerald, but they are not very big. If you buy them back, you will probably lose money, but there is no guarantee that all the stones will have emeralds, so the emeralds will disappear immediately. It's as worthless as Chinese cabbage, and maybe someone else will deliver it to your door for free.
"Hehe, what Mr. Ling said is very good, and my asking price is not very fair. I transported these stones from Myanmar. You also know that Myanmar is in chaos. It looks like one million, but now I want seven million, Hong Kong dollars." Li Cong tentatively offered a price that he thought was still high, and Li Cong knew the weight of these stones by looking at the label, which was basically higher than that of Jadeite. It was four or five times higher when the offer was made, and this price should be regarded as the highest. Maybe the guy in front of him might counter-offer, but in order to prevent his asking price from being too low, Li Cong's voice was still very loud, making the surrounding The few people in the group basically heard it, and each of those people immediately took their own stones and wanted to come over to trade with Li Cong after hearing it.
Seven million Hong Kong dollars? Ling Tengyun looked at the label list in his hand. If this price was offered during the Burmese jadeite fair, he might think that the guy in front of him was out of his mind, but now he doesn't think so. It's pretty good, after all, I bought it first-hand, and if I take it back and fool around, I can make a profit of one million yuan if I sell it immediately, but my vision is not so short-sighted. Save all these things, and when the price soars, it's time to make a move yourself.
"No problem, brother, you said 7 million Hong Kong dollars, let's use this amount, and I will transfer the money to you immediately." The guy saw that the assistant next to him had a laptop, and immediately went to open his online banking and started the transfer. This can be regarded as testing the waters, seven million Hong Kong dollars is a small amount of money to him, and he also wants to go back and see what kind of profit these few stones can bring him.
In fact, it is now said that the price of jadeite in Hong Kong has reached a crazy level, but Li Cong thinks that there is nothing in the sea. In his opinion, it would be crazy if these things that originally cost less than one million Hong Kong dollars could be sold for 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Well, but right now it's not at that level at all, it's not crazy, the fire tonight must be lit up, and it must be fully nourished.
After this Mr. Ling Tengyun paid the money, he immediately asked his assistants to start contacting some workers to transport his stones away, so he wanted to go back and find some more. Although he had achieved his goal, there was nothing wrong with him. , so I have to go to see if there is any fish that slipped through the net. If I see something again, I will buy it together. Anyway, I have tens of millions. Now as long as I have rough jadeite in my hand, I am afraid that I will not be able to sell it. ?
It's just that when Ling Tengyun walked back, he found that there were still a few fist-sized things scattered around the stones on the ground at this time, and others were already being moved. It has been sold out. Ling Tengyun was depressed. He glanced at the empty container. This brother from Myanmar is simply here to grab money. The emerald rough in a container is at least several billion. I don’t know how much this guy sold. Money, if only I wasn't so impatient just now.
"One hundred and four hundred million, don't bargain, if you don't like it, I can only take it back."
Just when Ling Tengyun was depressed, the voices of two people next to him came over. The guy who was talking, Ling Tengyun, knew him. He said he knew him. In fact, he said a few words when he arrived in Hong Kong. They are all strong, and I still pretend to be like myself. Just now, I clearly saw this big four-ton stone. This guy bought it from the man from Burma at a price of 100 million. Thirty million Hong Kong dollars?"?
"Your price is too dark, but I just saw that you didn't buy it at this price." The buyer said angrily, didn't he come a little late, and it was out of stock, so it was hard for him to buy it. I fell in love with this one, but I was going to be slaughtered by the guy in front of me for 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which really made my flesh hurt.
"Hehe, sir, everyone is playing with this. Do you still need me to say the rules here? I bought it from someone just now. If I didn't make money and sold it directly, I wouldn't be a fool." Well, it’s not a fool, it’s Lei Feng. Hong Kong is not a place where fools are produced, so 140 million is the lowest price. Look at this pattern, as long as it is jadeite, I can guarantee that it will be at least 500 or 600 million. It’s definitely a profitable business.” Li Cong and Ling Tengyun on the side both stared dumbfounded at this guy’s flickering, where did the lines come from? Li never knew what happened to Ling Tengyun, but Li Cong knew it clearly. There is no emerald in it at all. This is a complete rubbish stone. If it is really bought back at a price of 140 million, it will be a loss. If all the emeralds in it can be obtained, it will be several million at most. This is too common in the jadeite market.
"One hundred and three hundred million, brother, accept it as soon as you see it, so that you can earn 20 million Hong Kong dollars steadily. Everyone's money is not blown by the wind. If you agree to this price, I will buy it immediately." The family is still a little dissatisfied with the price of 140 million, and they are still negotiating the price. In other places, there may be such a thing as bargaining, but in the jade industry, especially at this time, there is no bargaining .
"Sir, my price will not change. If you buy it, you will buy it immediately. If you don't buy it, I will ship it back to China. I think this stone looks like this. I will store it for a year or two. Yes, it can reach at least 200 million, and I might regret selling it to you at that time." The guy said with a smile, and the dock workers on the side thought he was talking big, but only people in this industry knew , What this person said is definitely not big talk, it is all true.
"Okay, I'll buy 140 million." The buyer gritted his teeth, making Ling Tengyun and Li Cong a little depressed. Ling Tengyun lamented that he didn't have the financial strength, otherwise he would definitely buy it. Li Cong was depressed. If it is like this now, I just asked for a higher price, and I have already set a higher price. How can these people make money one by one? It seems that this is a business that I don’t even understand when I become a billionaire. . x-on:.
