Chapter 895 Ruizhou Public Market

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Yu Mingdong's face, and he said cautiously, "Mr. Xia, it's like this... The jadeite public auction in Ruizhou officially started this afternoon, and this public auction is more important to me. …”

Yu Mingdong glanced at Xia Ruofei carefully again, and then said quickly: "Mr. Xia, don't worry, I have contacted the supplier, and you can get the goods tomorrow morning at the latest! If the public order goes well, Even tonight!"

It can be seen that Ma Zhiming has a very heavy weight in Yu Mingdong's heart, and he is even a little in awe, so Yu Mingdong does not dare to neglect the things entrusted by Ma Zhiming, and he is also a little cautious when talking to Xia Ruofei.

Although Xia Ruofei was anxious in his heart, it was not easy to be difficult for others, so he nodded rationally and said, "Yes, it is important for Mr. Yu to do his own affairs well!"

"Thank you Mr. Xia for your understanding!" Yu Mingdong then explained, "Actually, the supplier also wants to participate in the jadeite auction, so even if I don't go to the public auction this afternoon, we may not be able to buy jadeite materials... "

"Mr. Yu, you don't need to explain." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This time I have already caused you a lot of trouble, how can I delay your business!"

"Where, Mr. Xia is very polite." Yu Mingdong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Mr. Xia should be coming to Ruizhou for the first time! In fact, the jadeite public market is also very interesting, Mr. Xia might as well go for a walk in the afternoon. By the way, I hired a very powerful stone gambling consultant this time, and I will let him help the staff at that time, and Mr. Xia can also buy a few stones to play with! It's just entertainment!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll go to see President Yu for a long time!"

The car quickly drove from the airport to the Sovereign Hotel in downtown Hongzhou, which is also the highest-grade hotel in Hongzhou.

Because I have to rush to Ruizhou in the afternoon to participate in the Jade Fair, this is really a "easy meal". Yu Mingdong has ordered a few local signature dishes in advance. Everyone served the dishes as soon as they arrived, and the three of them didn't drink. , and quickly finished lunch and continued driving on the road.

The distance from Hongzhou to Ruizhou is more than 90 kilometers, and the three of them arrived in Ruizhou after more than an hour.

It should not be the first time for Shi Lei to accompany Yu Mingdong here. He is also very familiar with the roads of Ruizhou, and skillfully drives a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle through the streets and alleys of Ruizhou, and soon came to a street.

There is a large parking lot near the entrance of the street. After the car drove in, Xia Ruofei saw that there were many luxury cars parked in the parking lot.

Yu Mingdong introduced: "Mr. Xia, there is Jade Street in Ruizhou over there. This time, the Jade Public Market is in the middle and back section of Jade Street. We have to walk in."

After Shi Lei parked the car, the three got out of the car and walked into the Jade Street in Ruizhou.

This is a pedestrian street. The shops on both sides of the street are all selling jadeite, and most of them sell rough stones. Many shops have signs with the words "Gambling Stone" outside.

Although there is a word "gambling" in stone gambling, it is actually legal. The essence of "stone gambling" is actually the transaction of rough jadeite.

Because the surface of the jadeite is covered by a layer of weathered leather, the internal situation cannot be seen, and no instrument can detect it.

Therefore, people can only infer whether there is high-quality jade inside the shell through the external characteristics of the skin. Most of the rough jadeite is traded in this way of "gambling".

This is also commonly known as "Gambling Stone".

When Yu Mingdong saw that Xia Ruofei was very interested in the rough stones placed in front of these shops, he said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, these shops are all petty, and they are a lot of tricks. It's not harmful to play occasionally, but this There is no need to waste time in these small shops with the jadeite public sale in two days.”

Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that the scale of this public auction is not small?"

Yu Mingdong said: "The scale of the annual jadeite public auction is naturally not too small, but this jadeite is also a non-renewable resource! In recent years, jadeite has been relatively hot, and Myanmar is a bit over-exploited, whether it is the scale of the original stone or the The quality is much lower than in previous years..."

Speaking of this, Yu Mingdong sighed again and said: "The competition this year must be very fierce, and I don't know how much the price will be raised! This business is getting harder and harder..."

Xia Ruofei saw Yu Mingdong's business card and knew that he was the boss of a jade company. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Mr. Yu, isn't the high price a good thing for you?"

Yu Mingdong said with a wry smile: "Theoretically, the price of raw stone is high, and the price of jadeite products is also rising, but for a small company like us, the financial pressure is a bit big! And if you really look wrong, you may lose everything... …”

Xia Ruofei sighed with emotion: "It seems that no line is easy!"

"Who said it wasn't!" Yu Mingdong looked at the shop next to him and said, "It's still safe for them to trade rough stones. As long as there is a channel to get the goods from Myanmar, they will make a steady profit without losing money!"

The two walked forward while chatting, while Shi Lei quietly followed behind them and never interrupted easily.

Soon they came to the scene of Ruizhou Jade Public Market.

It looks more like a large warehouse, and it looks a bit simple, without any gorgeous decoration, the roof of color steel tiles, how to look like a simple warehouse, is very different from Xia Ruofei's imagination.

What can make people feel a touch of local tyrants is that there are constantly well-dressed people entering the "warehouse". In addition, there are seven or eight escort vehicles parked side by side at the door, and there are even a few guards with guns.

Yu Mingdong explained with a smile: "These are all gun-holding licenses. They were invited by the organizers of the conference from the security company. After all, some rough stones are very valuable!"

At this time, an old man wearing a dark red Tang suit with silver hair walked towards Yu Mingdong from not far away, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face: "Mr. Yu, the public auction will start soon, why did you arrive? "

Yu Mingdong said with a smile: "He Lao, I'm sorry! I was delayed on the road for a while!"

Then Yu Mingdong immediately introduced: "Mr. Xia, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. He Ping He, the honorary director of the Yunnan Jade Association. He is the stone gambling consultant I specially invited. Mr. He has a lot of experience in rough stone identification. Rich!"

Yu Mingdong said to He Ping again: "Lao He, this is Mr. Xia Ruofei Xia, he is a friend of Mr. Pony from Hong Kong Island!"

Originally, He Ping didn't pay much attention to a young man like Xia Ruofei, and he felt a little disapproving when he saw Yu Mingdong's introduction in such a serious manner.

However, when he heard Yu Mingdong say that Xia Ruofei is "Mr. Hong Kong Island's friend of Mr. Pony", he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, the expression on his face eased a little, and he nodded slightly towards Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei also smiled gently and said, "He Lao, please give me more advice!"

He Ping said lightly, "Mr. Xia is very polite."

Even Ma Zhiming's friend, He Ping would not show as much enthusiasm as Yu Mingdong, he just responded, and immediately said to Yu Mingdong: "Mr. Yu, let's hurry up and enter! Today's first batch of rough stones The deadline for bids is 5pm and we don’t have much time left.”

"Okay! I'll ask He Lao in a while!" Yu Mingdong said with a smile on his face.

He is a businessman, and he pays attention to making money with humility, and he also knows that experts with rich experience in gambling stones like He Ping are a little arrogant, and naturally he will not care about the attitude of the other party.

The group came to the door, and after He Ping showed the invitation letter of the Jade public auction, he also accepted strict security checks before being allowed to enter the public auction site.

After entering the door, Xia Ruofei discovered that this "simple warehouse" actually covers a very large area, much larger than the parking lot at the street entrance just now. In addition, although it is a roof with color steel tiles, a lot of lighting equipment is installed, and the entire public site is as bright as day.

Looking around, rows of black or yellow rough stones of different sizes are densely packed, and there is a feeling that you can't see the edge at a glance.

These rough stones are placed in different positions according to their size and appearance quality. The smaller ones are placed on the display stand, while the larger ones are placed directly on the ground.

Each rough stone has a number, and in front of them there is a tender box with the same number written on it.

When entering the door, everyone received a stack of two sheets prepared in advance. Each sheet of two sheets has a unique number printed on it. Write down your price and put it in the bid box.

After the bidding deadline, the lists in these bid boxes will be counted in the first time, and the one with the highest bid will naturally be eligible to purchase the rough stone. You can get the original stone directly.

The rules are very simple, but in the face of this vast sea of ​​rough stones, it is natural that everyone's eyesight needs to be tested.

Of course, unlike public auctions, this auction method also involves a psychological game. You need to guess how much your competitors may pay, and at the same time calculate your own affordability and give a suitable price.

Of course, each auction box is also marked with the starting price of the corresponding rough stone, and it is naturally invalid if it is lower than this price.

There are so many rough stones here that it is impossible to count them. Of course, many of them can be made of jade. After all, the rough stones that can be listed on the public jade plate have also been screened. Just being able to sell jade does not mean that you can make money. Some may not even be worth the starting price, and there are even many who have no jade at all. In the end, it depends on your eyesight.

This is also the reason why those experienced stone gambling consultants are so popular. Xia Ruofei just fell behind and asked Shi Lei secretly. Yu Mingdong asked He Ping to help him. The reward for three days is two million. Up, there are additional bonuses.

Maybe Ma Zhiming's face is big enough, and Yu Mingdong still attaches great importance to Xia Ruofei. After walking into the public market, he has been introducing the situation to Xia Ruofei.

After all, as soon as Xia Ruofei came in, it was just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. It was the first time he went to the Jade Public Market. He was also worried that if Xia Ruofei was affected by the atmosphere of the scene, he would smash a lot of money on his head, and he would lose everything. He was also a little difficult to explain on Ma Zhiming's side.

"Mr. Xia, don't look at the people coming and going here. In fact, there are not many people who come to 'gamble stones' in the true sense." Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "most of them are colleagues in the domestic jade industry, everyone come to participate. For the public auction, I want to hoard as much raw materials as possible, after all, the price of jadeite has been rising in recent years.”

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "That is to say, even if the bet goes up, the jadeites they have opened will mostly stay by themselves!"

"Yeah!" Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "Like my company, the raw materials have always been in short supply, so I pointed out that with the help of He Lao this time, I can buy a few more pieces of good materials! Otherwise, it is really about to come. out of stock."

When he was chatting with Xia Ruofei, he didn't forget to pat He Ping's ass.

The silver-haired He Ping also looked a bit like an expert in the world, and he still looked indifferent to Yu Mingdong's compliments.

The group passed through a lot of rough stone display stands, but they didn't stop. Xia Ruofei asked curiously, "Mr. Yu, there are so many rough stones here, isn't it going to be confusing?"

Although he didn't know much about gambling stones, he had seen it once in Sanshan before. Those who gambled stones could look at a rough stone for a long time. Even an experienced driver might not be too efficient!

"This batch of rough stones has been previewed for two days. Today is the deadline for bidding. It can be said that everyone has a good idea of ​​which rough stones you are interested in." Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "I just make a final confirmation this afternoon. It’s about weighing the strategy of bidding.”

No wonder... Xia Ruofei said in his heart, presumably Yu Mingdong has already initially determined which pieces to compete for, so he and He Ping will go straight to the goal.

"Mr. Yu, I think the price of this rough stone is not low. How will the final bidder trade?" Xia Ruofei asked again.

"After the opening of the bid, the qualification for winning the bid will be reserved for half an hour. The organizer of the public auction has a special payment office. Cash, credit card, transfer, and check are all acceptable!" Yu Mingdong said, "The local government also strongly supports each public auction. Yes, the bank will send people to work on the spot, and the precious rough stones can also be directly escorted by a security company, and even the hospital has sent doctors and ambulances here.

Speaking of this, Yu Mingdong couldn't help but laugh.

This is really not a joke. The gambling stone is known as "one knife poor, one knife rich, and one knife through sackcloth", which can turn a poor man into a rich man in an instant, and can also make tens of millions of funds evaporate in an instant, and the degree of stimulation is no less. for real gambling.

After Xia Ruofei briefly understood the situation, he also had a bottom line in his heart. He turned his head and glanced at the dense rough stones, and his heart was hot...
