Chapter 130 Gambling Stone Conference 1
Three days later, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Qiao Yunsi and his party got off the plane, looked at their watches, and said that they would find a place to sit first, and then Qiao Yusi's mother and daughter should also arrive in half an hour.
It's not only Qiao Yusi's mother and daughter, but also two people around them. A girl wore Qiao Ping's arm and sunglasses, whispering to Qiao Ping as if no one was around. There is also a middle-aged man with a strong figure and a sense of recklessness.
Qiao Yunsi briefly introduced that the middle-aged man Ruan Guowei is an expert invited by Qiao's mother and daughter as a gambling stone consultant, while the girl Xiao Xinyi said it was Ping's playmate. Let's take a look at the fun this time.
After gathering, a group of people found their hotel to stay and prepared to rush to Pingzhou the next day. The relationship between the Qiao sisters in Guangzhou is obviously also very strong. Qiao Yusi is just a phone call. In less than ten minutes, two business Buicks parked at the door of the hotel. This is their next day's car.
Pingzhou, because it is adjacent to Guangzhou, the largest jade market in the country, connecting Jieyang, Sihui, Sanshui, Shunde and Hong Kong in Guangdong, has a long history of jade processing and has been a famous distribution center for jade raw materials in the past 30 years. A few years ago, Pingzhou people went to Myanmar, or Ruili, Yingjiang and Tengchong gambling stones in Yunnan to come back for processing.
Now, several famous jadeite trading group companies in Myanmar, in order to meet the increasing demand for jade wool in the Chinese market, have set up offices in Pingzhou to directly transport wool to Pingzhou for sale, which not only facilitates many manufacturers in China, but also increases the value and economic benefits of raw stone.
Because China is the world's largest emerald consumer, and Guangzhou is the largest emerald market in the country, the demand for jadeite products has increased, the adjacent demand for jadeite raw materials processing in Pingzhou is increasing, and the demand for jadeite raw materials from surrounding processing bases is also increasing. The annual demand for jadeite wool exceeds 3 000 tons, which also exceeds half of the national annual demand for jade wool.
In addition to Yunnan, manufacturers all over the country have moved from Myanmar and Yunnan to Pingzhou to purchase raw stones and gambling stones. This will naturally develop the jade gambling stone market in Pingzhou into the largest jade gambling stone market in China.
The official name of this Pingzhou Stone Gambling Fair is "Jade Bidding Fair", which is held once a year. Its influence has long surpassed that of Yunnan Gambling Stone Holy Land Tengchong.
The organizer, Pingzhou Jade Association, rented a huge open-air warehouse as the main venue of the gambling stone conference.
The gambling stone conference is lively, but all the people who are qualified to participate are worth it. Unlike other small trade fairs, this conference has strict restrictions. Each invitation is limited to two people. If there is no invitation, no matter how much money you have, you can't get in.
When I came to the door of the trade fair from afar, I saw a long queue at the door, all ready to go in with invitations. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping actually saw a familiar person here. It was Yan Wanzhong, the boss of the jade processing factory, who met the gambling stone last time.
Seeing that Zhang Ping also came to participate in the gambling stone, Fatty Yan seemed to have picked up a treasure and was close to Zhang Ping. Finally, he saw Qiao Ping's impatient face beside him, and then he left.
Entering inside, Zhang Ping was shocked by Xiaoxiao.
Hundreds of wool merchants participated in the exhibition, including the big jade merchants in Myanmar. Hundreds of temporary sheds alone make people a little overwhelmed. What's more, the jade wool in each shed is like a mountain, which makes Zhang Ping's eyes full of gold stars, and he can't wait to jump on it and take a bite.
But soon he found something wrong. Why are there numbers on the wool, but some are not? Others were also surprised.
Ruan Guowei, a gambling stone expert, explained: "This Pingzhou jade bidding fair will be held for a total of five days. It is divided into two trading methods: open label and hidden bid. The clear label is those wool without numbers. Everyone chooses the price at will. As for these wool marked with numbers, they are all hidden label wool, and guests can choose according to the wool. For the performance of the material, write down the wool number that you like, and bid uniformly after three days. The higher the price will get.
After listening to Ruan Guowei's words, Zhang Ping finally understood. Even if he like the numbered wool, he can't buy it on the spot. He can only bid uniformly, which is another insight.
However, in this way, wool merchants classify the well-performing wool into the dark label. The rest of the clearly marked wool will be much more gambling, but the price will also be relatively low, which is suitable for Zhang Ping to gamble.
Zhang Ping's current value is not low, with a full 8 million yuan, just preparing to make a fortune at the gambling stone conference. However, he also knows that it must not be too eye-catching. In that case, I'm afraid it's not a good thing to be targeted.
He had a plan in his heart. He was going to bet on some wool and put it in the basement. If necessary, he would open it slowly. This time when you come to Pingzhou, as long as you help Qiao's sisters pick one or two pieces with jade, it's enough. After all, no one dares to say that they are sure. What's more, they brought Ruan Guowei with them just to make a fool. In the final analysis, it is really hard to convince just by feeling.
Sister Qiao Yunsi discussed it and felt that there were too many people and too many goals. So it was divided into two teams, Qiao's sisters and Ruan Guowei and Xiao Xinyi's first team, Zhang Ping Kexin, Qiao Pinghua and Xiaoqian, wandered around casually. When they saw some good dark label wool, they wrote them down. If you encounter a clear sign that feels good, you should take action.
Fang Kexin and the three of them naturally knew nothing, so they unanimously elected Zhang Ping as the leader. Qiao Ping even said that they wanted to set up a gambling stone foundation, and the capital was set at 1 million. Each of the four of them paid 250,000 yuan, and in the end, if they lost money, they were evenly distributed. Of course, this is for the obvious mark, and the dark mark is another matter.
When this idea was put forward, Fang Kehua and Xiaoqian cheered in unison. It was the first time that all three of them had seen so many emerald stones. Although they had made up some information about gambling stones before they came, they were still guilty when they looked at these stones. With the support of this foundation behind their backs, their courage suddenly became much stronger.
Zhang Ping is also very excited now. This gambling meeting is really unusual, and the scene is too big. There was a constant shout in my ear, which was as lively as a vegetable market. The excitement and unique charm brought by this ancient and traditional gambling stone made him feel extremely excited and impulsive.
Several people wandered around casually. Every time they passed a booth, several girls went in happily to play with the stones, and finally came out with a gray face. They were really uncertain. Zhang Ping has some experience at least. Tell them not to be impatient, listen more, read more, five days, don't worry too much.
Fang Kexin couldn't help but pick out a stone and said that it felt very good, and the boss also said that the stone was good. There were pythons and flowers, so he waved to Zhang Ping and others to have a look.
Hua Xiaoqian curiously asked Zhang Ping what had pythons and flowers. Zhang Ping patted her on the head and said with a smile, "Little lazy man, haven't you read those information? Fortunately, I have read it and tell you:
Looking at pine flowers and pythons, and their performance and rules on the storage surface are one of the important bases for gambling stones. Experienced jade merchants can start gambling from these aspects.
Python is a strip-like, filament-shaped, point-shaped and block-shaped weathered residue that appears on the emerald skin shell different from other stone skins. There are reckless places that are easily colored, and they are also divided into many kinds, such as white pythons and silk pythons.
As for the pine flower, it is the residual performance of the green inside the jade on the weathered skin shell, which is the most important basis for gambling. Its color is thick and light, fresh and dark, and its shape is large and small, thick and thin. Generally speaking, the greener the better.
Fang Kexin was a little impatient and shouted at Zhang Ping, "Don't fool Xiaoqian. Come and take a look at this stone. Maybe our foundation's first bucket of gold is counting on this stone.
Zhang Ping knew at a glance that this was a fast stone, and there was no green in it. However, he still pretended to look at it, and then said that he was not optimistic about the stone, but if Kexin really feels good, then untie it and have a look.
But Xin put down the stone. She believed in Zhang Ping, even more than her own vision. Since Zhang Ping is not optimistic, she will naturally not insist.
At this time, there was a noise in front of them. Several people followed the sound. There was a circle of people in front of them, as if someone was solving the stone. This is a good opportunity to learn. Zhang Ping dragged the three women and squeezed in to watch the bustle.
What attracts everyone's attention is a piece of raw stone about the size of a football, rusty wax skin, with obvious green spots and patches on the surface, covering a large area. According to Zhang Ping's recent gambling stone information, this should be a good wool.
I heard from the people next to me that this piece of wool was made from the mouth of the Pots Stone Farm, and it was just bought by a jade merchant for 50,000 yuan. The jade merchant was obviously an adventurous master, and he decided to solve the stone on the spot.
As soon as I heard that someone was calving the stone, I immediately surrounded many people, and some people pointed out the wool and expressed their opinions.
"This wool looks good. It can definitely rise. Look at the python shape of the skin, which is distributed in strips. Unfortunately, the pine flower is light and sparse, otherwise it must be colored. But this 50,000 yuan is still worth a bet.
At this time, the jade merchant was ready to wipe the stone in person. Around the booth, which was originally very noisy, suddenly there was silence. Only the booth in the distance had some noisy noise, but around this booth, the people watching the stone cut held their breath and stared at the wool under the stone cutter.
It was only a few minutes, but after a long time in the eyes of the onlookers, a palm-sized window finally opened on the left side of the original stone, revealing a thick green!
"It's green, it's green."
"The bet has gone up. This guy is really lucky."
The jade merchant stood up proudly and took a short break.
There was already someone next to him who couldn't stand it. He squatted down and took out a magnifying glass to observe carefully. Then he stood up and began to bid: Boss, can you sell this wool? I'll pay 200,000 yuan.
The jade merchant curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Brother, you are too stingy. Just look at this green, or at least it's sunny. 200,000, it's too little."
The man who bids squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and then said to the jade merchant, "Well, why don't you cut it again, so that you will be more sure. If you really bet on the rise, the price will naturally go up.
The jade merchant hesitated for a moment, and the person next to him was a little noisy and said that he would cut another knife. Spurred by these people, the jade merchant patted his thigh and made up his mind, ready to cut another knife.
This time he chose the position a little higher and carefully aimed at the stone. The surrounding voice lowered again, and everyone stared at the stone with big eyes, wondering if they could continue to gamble next.
Kexin whispered to Zhang Ping, "Brother Ping, why do you feel so nervous?"
Zhang Ping replied with a smile, "I'm the same. This is the charm of gambling stones. A knife is rich and a knife is poor. The key is this knife. Of course, it is exciting.
As he spoke, the jade merchant had slowly cut out a small mouth, and it was a rich green. The jade merchant stood up with satisfaction and waited for others to bid.
