Chapter 26 Encountering a Strong Enemy in a Foreign Country

There is another chapter, I have to fight to the death, brothers, too, call

Wu Zhiyong entered the gambling stone market in 1997. It has been twelve years since then. He has a deep understanding of gambling stones.

The gambling stones mentioned by Wu Zhiyong are different from the concepts of gambling stones that Tang Feng had conducted before. When Tang Feng bought chicken blood stones and Tianhuang stones, he was called gambling stones without untiing the skin shells. The gambling stones that Wu Zhiyong now refers to jadeite raw stones. Most jadeite raw stones have skin shells. Until now, there is no instrument in the world that can penetrate this skin shell to detect the components inside. People can only use their own eyes and experience to judge the content of jadeites based on the appearance of the raw stones, such as the field mouth, etc., so jadeite raw stones themselves are called gambling stones, or gambling goods.

Myanmar jade mining area is mainly located in the Wulong River in the northwest of Menggong, northern Myanmar. It is also known as the middle and upper reaches of Wulu River. This narrow area with a length of about 250 kilometers, a width of about 15 kilometers, and a total area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers is the origin of jade.

The mining history of jadeite raw stones was not long, and it was only in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that began to be mined in order. Since the jadeite mines in northern Myanmar were very close to China and were historically under the jurisdiction of Tengchong Yuezhou, the mining, transportation and processing of jadeites in history were mostly done by Chinese people. In history, Tengchong, Yunnan, known as the famous jadeite city, has always been the center of jadeite trading. In the mid-twentieth century, due to the influence of China's extreme left line, Tengchong jadeite trading, which had flourished for hundreds of years, was banned, and the World Jade Trading Center was moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand. With the decline of the famous jadeite city Tengchong, Chiang Mai, which was originally a wild mountain village, gradually became the world jadeite trading distribution center, and became the second largest city in Thailand.

It was not until the 1980s that domestic jade trading began to flourish in Yunnan again. Tengchong, Ruili and Kunlang became the main jade trading ports. In the 1990s, the situation in Myanmar, which was limited to war, was controlled. The Myanmar government set Wacheng, the second largest city in Myanmar, as a jade trading distribution center. Due to its special geographical location, Wacheng became a new jade trading distribution center. This situation has continued until now.

The two of them had already reached the airport. After getting the air ticket, they found two seats in the terminal building and sat down and continued to chat.

Wu Zhiyong smiled and said, "In 1997, I went to Tengchong, Yunnan to gamble stones with 5 million yuan. In less than three years, tens of thousands of yuan became 1.0 million yuan, and I paid a full tens of thousands of yuan in tuition."

Tang Feng said: "The tuition fee is not paid. Don't you make money after you finish your studies?"

Wu Yong said: "Don't mention it. It's my fault to say that. Just when I was about to do a big move, the gambling market in Tengchong began to shrink sharply. Old and Burmese learned their skills and began to reform and opening up."

Starting from 2000, the Dian government strengthened its control over the country's jadeite wool materials. The wool materials were no longer exported to Tengchong but were sold directly at auction in Wacheng and Yangon. Wu Zhiyong continued: "The most fucking abominable thing is that the old Myanmar no longer sells them alone, and they are auctioned in piles. I can't even get along with them."

Under the terrain, Guangdong and Hong Kong merchants expelled Yunnan merchants. Therefore, Guangdong replaced Yunnan and Pingzhou replaced Tengchong as the distribution center for gambling stones. Wu Zhiyong said: "Because Pingzhou has sufficient supply of goods, the best raw materials can only be found there. There is no way. I have to switch to Pingzhou."

Tang Feng asked Wu Zhiyong: "What's the result?"

"well.

"Wu Zhiyong said with a wry smile: "The gambling stones have increased a few times. However, the more the gambling has increased, the more frightened it is. I haven't seen much money earned. I am braver, but I am getting smaller and smaller. In the end, I don't dare to gamble."

With the continuous improvement and maturity of the market, the industrial chain began to be subdivided, and there were batches and retail. The stone gambling industry became more and more divided. That is, stone merchants were divided from Myanmar to Pingzhou, professional stone gambling people digested the middle, and jewelry processing manufacturers acquired it, and then distributed and sold it for the finished product. The intermediate digestion links were also subdivided. Wu Zhiyong made half-clear materials, only half of them, wiped the mouth, opened a door and transported it back to Beijing to make a deal, which effectively reduced the risks he took. Tang Feng had to gamble all this time, completely unravel the gambling stones. Loss was lost, and win was win, and there was no room for conversion in the middle, and the risk increased accordingly. Perhaps this was why Wu Zhiyong was willing to bring Tang Feng into the industry. They each ate their own cake and had no conflict of interest. In other words, what Wu Zhiyong could help Tang Feng was just to bring him to the gambling stone trading market. The rest depends on Tang Feng's luck.

The plane rushed into the sky like a huge steel monster. When the plane landed, it was already Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. As soon as the two walked out of the passage, a man in his thirties hurriedly came up. He was Wu Zhiyong's employee here, named Pang Wei. When he came to the parking lot, he was a Hummer. It seemed that half-gambling seemed to be a little more reliable than full gambling.

Pingzhou is a town under the jurisdiction of Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Because it is adjacent to Guangzhou, the largest jade market in the country, people are accustomed to calling Pingzhou Guangzhou Pingzhou.

Although there was once a "Cherish life and stay away from Guangdong" on the Internet

But the transportation in the Pearl River Delta region is still worthy of praise, and the journey is smooth, and arrives at Pingzhou Jade Street, which is the largest jade gambling market in the country, with annual sales exceeding one billion. Tang Feng is Wu Zhiyong's guest, and Pang Wei is very polite to him. He said: "Boss Tang is here at the right time. The jade bidding fair is underway, and it's all ahead."

Pingzhou's jade bidding fair is known as the "Little Canton Fair" and is very lively. However, in Tang Feng's view, this bidding fair is more like a vegetable market or an open air. To put it intuitively, this is actually an ordinary street, with streets selling gambling stones.

When Tang Feng saw the gambling stones of all sizes, his heart was already cold, which was too unworthy. Wu Zhiyong seemed to see Tang Feng's thoughts, and he said: "You don't have to look at these gambling stones. For those gambling stones, it would be a gambler if he solved such gambling stones." Tang Feng thought about it, the price of jade jewelry produced by these gambling stones would not exceed four digits at most and would not be on the table.

The three of them made a turn and walked from the open-air market to the greenhouse area. The quality of gambling stones in the greenhouse area was obviously better than that in the open-air market. The gambling stones in the storefront room next to the greenhouse area were higher than that in the market economy, and the grading was clear. Walking through the greenhouse area, the three of them entered a storefront room. When the shopkeeper saw Wu Zhiyong's huge body, his little eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly greeted: "Brother Fat, please come inside."

Wu Zhiyong smiled and asked, "How are your guys today?"

The guy said: "The batch that has not been untied just shipped last night. Don't worry, Brother Fat, I'll be the first to notify you if there is any news."

Wu Zhiyong patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "You are bound to be rewarded today."

Then, the three of them passed the store and walked out of the back door. When they reached the end of the passage, they suddenly opened. This was a trading hall of nearly 10,000 square meters. The words of jade bidding trade fairs appeared from time to time on the rolling subtitles in the hall. This is the main venue of the bidding meeting, and the gambling stones have never been solved.

Wu Zhiyong turned to Tang Feng and asked, "Tang, I'm going to bid now. Should you go with us or choose it alone?"

Wu Yong and Tang Feng had different goals. Tang Feng didn't want to disturb him too much. He said, "I'll just take a look outside."

Wu Zhiyong nodded and said, "I'll see you now, call me when I'll call you."

After Tang shook hands with the two, the three separated, and Tang Feng officially started his journey of gambling on stones.

The trade fair is like a shopping mall, surrounded by shops, and rows of large glass containers in the middle. The containers are filled with various jade wool materials marked with the price of origin. Tang Feng was dissatisfied with several pieces. After spending more than half an hour, he came to a shop in the shape of a "concave". In the middle of the shop was a round stair booth, and pieces of gambling stones were placed on the stairs of the booth, and a large group of people were squeezed around.

Tang Feng walked over curiously. The group of people are watching a thin old man in his fifties holding a magnifying glass. He is looking at the stone. Tang Feng has no time to watch others. He walked up to check the gambling stone he was interested in. The skin of the jadeite raw stone has sand skin, water skin, patent skin, old elephant skin, etc. The piece Tang Feng saw is sand skin.

This gambling stone is earthy yellow and has a very rough surface, which looks no different from ordinary pebbles. Tang Feng thought this stone was good and decided to see the price. gambling stones are not like antiques and require labels. The gambling stones are written on the surface of gambling stones with thick black markers.

The front of this gambling stone clearly states: Longtang yellow sand skin, 11 kilograms. The five words Longtang yellow sand skin contain the origin and characteristics of jadeite raw stones. Longtang is Longtang jade, also known as Longkeng jade, and is one of the top ten famous pits in the production of Burmese jadeite raw stones. Most of the jadeite raw stones produced here are relatively good in water and bottom, and the green is very correct, and Gaocui jade is often produced. Of course, this is just a conventional saying, Longkeng jade can also produce Gaocui. Moreover, it is still a little bit to say whether this gambling stone comes from Laokeng.

Tang Feng looked at the price of this gambling stone again, tens of thousands. Regardless of whether the stone is a scam or not, the price must be a scam. It is nearly 20,000 yuan per catty, which is indeed outrageous.

Tang Feng was watching, someone patted his shoulder from behind. He turned around and found that it was Yang Chengming. Tang Feng would never want to meet his future rival here. He appeared in the gambling stone market. Yang Chengming would definitely mistakenly think that he planned to get involved in the jade industry.

Tang Feng's business of Guoshui has not attracted enough attention from Yang Chengming. Once he starts making jade, Yang Chengming will definitely count him and Jiang Yuan together, which is his competitor. Tang Feng is not afraid of competition, but afraid of falling into competition too early. After all, Chinese stone is far from a rival to the Han and Tang Baoye.
