Chapter 211 Gray Stone Trading
Shenghai to Tengchong is about 3,000 kilometers, and it takes about thirty hours to drive there.
There were two people in each car, and they drove alternately. Excluding the time for meals and rest, it took nearly two days.
After arriving in Tengchong, we opened two rooms and the four of us fell asleep.
Tired, so tired.
If it weren't for the fact that I had too much cash in the car, I wouldn't have driven here at all.
Xiao Xingyun and Li Kewei drove a Mercedes-Benz Big G, and Li Wenhua and Fatty Luo drove a Great Wall h9. It was not comfortable to drive long distances. The only advantage was that it had a lot of space and could hold a lot of things.
The 20 million yuan is divided into four large boxes, with a total of about 300 kilograms. If it is not an off-road vehicle or an ordinary car, it is really difficult to pack.
They only rested for one day in Tengchong to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment. The next morning, Li Wenhua received a call, asking them to take cash and go to a warehouse in the center of the city for transactions.
Xiao Xingyun felt much relieved when he saw that the address of this warehouse was in the middle of the city.
Even if Li Wenhua repeatedly assured that this was a formal transaction, the owners of the goods were three persons with status and would not do anything illegal, let alone take advantage of others.
However, the more he said this, the more unsure Xiao Xingyun felt.
Fortunately, he brought a bodyguard this time, and he has special powers. If he were an ordinary person, no matter how cheap these jadeite stones were, he would not dare to come and trade them.
The sun was good today and the wind was gentle. It only took more than 20 minutes to get from the hotel where we stayed to the target warehouse.
There are two young security guards guarding the door of the warehouse, but judging from their appearance and aura, they should be retired soldiers.
They stopped Xiao Xingyun and Li Wenhua's car and didn't say anything. They just asked them to contact the boss.
Li Wenhua understood and immediately called an elder he was familiar with. After two or three minutes, a call came to the security guard's mobile phone and he was let go.
This warehouse is extremely empty, and the warehouse doors around it are locked firmly.
In the designated area, there are already two cars waiting. This car has a Guangdong provincial license plate and should also be a buyer.
Xiao Xingyun and his party arrived and got off the bus. The other four buyers also got off the bus.
The two parties looked at each other for a few times, and one of them, a rich middle-aged man with a Cantonese accent, took the initiative to say hello: "Are you one of the rough stone buyers this time? Let me introduce you to each other. I am Du Hongsheng, from Guangdong Province. I specialize in making
Regarding the purchase and sale of raw jadeite, if you come to Guangdong Province to participate in the public sale, you can contact me."
When Xiao Xingyun saw the other party's generous introduction, he felt that he was being too preoccupied. This was a formal transaction, so don't be sneaky.
So he also introduced himself and shook hands with the other party: "Xiao Xingyun, from Shenghai, does some jade and jade. But the scale is not large, it is a small business, just a hobby."
"Boss Xiao is so humble."
"Boss Du is serious."
The two chatted for a few words, exchanged mobile phone numbers with each other, and completed basic greetings.
During this process, Xiao Xingyun has added a thought guide to the other party's mind to facilitate unified operations when quoting later.
At this time, two more off-road vehicles drove in, bearing Imperial City license plates.
Perhaps because they had to bring 20 million in cash, there were also four buyers in this group.
One of them, Xiao Xingyun, actually recognized him as none other than Meng Fanxing, the coal boss of Shanxi Province.
"Xiao Xingyun, why are you here?" Meng Fanxing had forgotten the conflict in Panjiayuan that day, but he just felt that Xiao Xingyun was annoying, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but get angry.
Xiao Xingyun had already buried the idea in his mind, so he was no longer worried, so he smiled and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I must be here to buy jadeite rough. What's the matter, you don't do the coal business anymore,
Have you completely changed your career to jade business?"
Meng Fanxing sneered: "Oh, I am doing the jade business with my friends, do you care about me? The coal business has always been managed on my behalf, and I make a lot of money every day, which is enough for me."
The partner who came with Du Hongsheng was in his forties and quite arrogant. He glanced at Xiao Xingyun coldly and said nothing.
Du Hongsheng, a businessman from Guangdong Province, felt happy when he saw the conflict between the two families. He thought it would be better if they fought each other, which would benefit him by picking a few more pieces of good material.
After the three-party buyers arrived, the closed warehouse door suddenly opened.
It turned out that the owner of the goods had been in the warehouse for a long time and did not show up until their buyers arrived.
Three old men, each with two bodyguards, stood at the door.
The intermediary came forward and chatted quietly with the three cargo owners respectively. Then the intermediary returned and explained the rules for entering the warehouse again.
In the first step, you need to search yourself. You are not allowed to bring any audio or video equipment, and you are not allowed to bring any openings.
The mobile phone must be temporarily handed over to the other party and will not be returned until you leave or when you need to transfer money via mobile phone.
This was already known before coming, and no one had any objections.
After a body search, everyone successfully entered the warehouse.
The lights were turned on in the warehouse, but they were not bright. There was a large pile of jadeite stones, chaotically placed in the middle of the warehouse.
The quantity is indeed quite large, ranging from one truck to two trucks. No wonder the other party asked to prepare so much cash. Even if these rough stones have not been screened in any way and the outer shells are polished, they are still worth a lot of money.
Those high-priced rough stones on the market have been carefully screened and polished with tools so that stone bettors can see the skin color and then buy them at a high price.
Many of the newly mined wool shells have no performance at all, so the price is very low. This is also a characteristic of primary wool.
At this time, one of the old men said: "You all already know the rules. You three parties can choose at will. After the selection, you will quote the price in the form of a hidden bid according to the total weight of your selection. We will combine the average quotations of the three parties and give the final price.
.”
"knew!"
“There’s nothing wrong with the rules!”
"But this is unprocessed primary wool, and the price is definitely lower than the price on the market. I hope the final price is lower than the market price, otherwise we won't be able to buy too much." This is what Du Hongsheng, a businessman from Guangdong Province, said.
, likes to nip problems in the bud, and is full of details.
One of the cargo owners said in an old voice: "Don't worry, we are all introduced here by our own people. If you can come, you are a friend. We will not treat our friends badly."
"Thank you!" Du Hongsheng was relieved.
One of the old men said: "Everyone's time is precious, so I won't waste your time. Let's start choosing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xingyun led people to rush to the pile of rough stones, using his clairvoyance eyes to select the best materials.
The three people he brought followed closely behind Xiao Xingyun. Since they had discussed it in advance, Xiao Xingyun didn't need to say anything, and just with a finger, someone moved to the nearest designated area.
"This piece! And this piece... I also want this piece..."
