Regarding the construction and development of the Chinese village, the two of them squatted at the door and started chatting.

After chatting for a while, Damao walked out in dismay.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Li Du asked, "How is it? If you need help, you can tell me if you have anything to do."

Da Maoqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll ask Master Liu to help me continue investigating. Master Liu said that he can almost handle this matter, so there's no need to bother the boss."

Hearing that he said, Li Du stood up and hugged his shoulder and patted him for a few times without asking again.

Everyone has privacy and everyone has their own considerations. Although Da Mao likes to talk nonsense, he is a smart person. He has his own judgment on things. Li Du respects his choices.

In addition, Li Du has no connections in Pagan and is not even familiar with this place. When it comes to investigating some things, it is obvious that the two local snakes, Zhong Dapao and Liuzi, are more suitable. He just needs to take Damao to prepare for the public auction.

Every public auction of Hongshawadi jadeite wool materials is a grand event. This auction lasts for seven to ten days, and the transaction volume can reach a terrifying tens of billions of yuan.

The transaction volume is very high, but the auction is very low.

The auction location is in Pagan Town. Li Du went to take a look in advance, and there was a lot of ore being sent into it continuously.

According to the new land law of Hongshawaddy, jade ore is the national property, but first, this country is seriously corrupt and colluded with officials and businessmen. Second, Pagan's major areas have been private contracting for hundreds of years. Based on various reasons, private ore transactions are still the main body.

Li Du has participated in many auctions, and only Sotheby's has the same quota as the public auction. He remembers that Sotheby's auctions are all the high-end and stylish.

In contrast, public auctions are too weak. Instead of renting a hotel as a venue, it casually cuts a piece of land and uses iron rods and colored steel tiles to make a large shed, which can block the rain but not wind.

The shed was surrounded by barbed wire, and there were three steps, one post, five steps, one whistle. There were military and police guarding with guns, and patrol vehicles for support. There was no choice in security work.

Li Du walked around the shed and exclaimed: "We are here to participate in the auction?"

"Yes." Zhong Dapao said carelessly with a cigarette in his mouth.

Li Du said: "But what auction place is this? I feel it is more like a concentration camp, right?"

Zhong Dapao laughed and said, "The place that can make money is a good place, no matter what concentration camp it is."

Li Du couldn't help but shake his head. The Minerals and Jade Organizing Committee of the Hongshawadi Central Government were too rough. Such an important auction was like this.

Those who attend the auction do not pay attention to comfort level, they pay attention to security issues. After all, everyone comes to Pagan with huge amounts of money.

There was no problem with the security at the auction. Li Du and the others just walked around, and then the military and police came to cross-examine with guns: "What are you doing? Hello, stop!"

Zhong Dapao went over and stuffed a box of cigarettes. The military and police frowned, and saw that no one around was paying attention and quietly pretended, then frowned and said, "Master Pao, don't cause trouble."

"What's wrong with me?" Zhong Dapao rolled his eyes, "I'll come with my friend to see. We'll participate in this auction together tomorrow."

The military and police laughed: "You want to participate? You squint, is this burned with too much money?"

Zhong Dapao pushed him with a dark face and said, "Go to you, you are a squin, grass, I'm a double-firing cannon!"

The military and police were obviously familiar with him, so they did not make things difficult for them, and left with a cigarette with a smile.

After seeing the venue, Zhong Dapao knew that Li Du had not participated in the public auction, so he roughly introduced the rules.

There are two ways to conduct the auction, one is a secret shot and the other is an open shot.

Secret photography is the mainstream. When entering the market, someone sends a bid form. Merchants go to find the jade they are interested in, and then fill in the number, name, jade number and price they are issued as required on the bid form, and finally put in the corresponding bidding number standard box.

During this process, the jade merchants participating in the bidding did not know each other's jade that each other was interested in, nor did they know the price they offered. When the bid was opened, the winning bidder and bidding price were publicly announced according to the bid number to complete the bid.

It is rare for explicit bids. Like other auctions, all jade merchants participating in explicit bids are concentrated in the trading hall. Each time the public trading operator announces an auction number, the bidder will bid on the spot. Whoever bids higher will win the bid, which is fair and just.

"In terms of proportion, the secret mark is the mainstream, accounting for 80%, while the explicit mark is only 20%. " Zhong Dapao introduced.

Li Du nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Zhong Dapao said helplessly: "Made, the Minerals Department is so smart that everyone is optimistic about the stone. In order to avoid being stolen, they can only blindly pay high prices, which is really irritating!"

Li Du smiled and said, "The purpose of the Minerals Department is to sell ore at a higher price. What's so annoying about this? Look at me at that time. I'm too good at this. Do you know what my profession is?"

"Are you an executive of Hairui-Winston Group?" Zhong Dapao asked back.

Li Du shook his head: "No, Brother Wolf tells him."

Brother Lang said: "What the boss does is work in the auction industry and is a professional auction expert. He participates in hundreds of auctions every year, including real estate auctions, car auctions and Sotheby's luxury auctions, involving all industries of life!"

When Zhong Dapao heard this, he felt awe-inspiring: "Ah? Young Master Li is so knowledgeable about jade. I thought you were a full-time luxury goods expert."

Li Du laughed. Brother Wolf was quite good at speaking. He talked about warehousing and real estate auctions so high that both industries are actually low-end jobs in the United States.

After understanding the auction environment, the work the next day became simple.

Li Du followed Zhong Dapao and Liu Zi walked to the auction hall. Because there were a large amount of police force and military force responsible for public security, there was no need to bring the bodyguards into the venue, so Li Du let them stay outside and wait.

The auction is now lively. If you didn’t know what you think, Li Du would have thought it was a market in his hometown.

The auction is located on the side of the road, and there is an intersection not far away. There are many tricycles, forklifts, tractors, cranes, forklifts, etc. that are used to deliver stones, while tricycles carry passengers.

Because the road is narrow and the road conditions are poor, tricycles are the mainstream means of transportation here. No matter the big boss who is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, they all take this kind of triple jumper to the auction hall.

So when Li Du came over, he saw many scenes that opened his eyes. A man with a big belly came out of a broken tricycle in front of him. The man had a golden h belt on his waist, and the belt alone could be replaced with several tricycles.

There were also some slim and beautiful women who were getting off the tricycle and twisting their snake waists. After getting off the car, they all looked disgusted and quickly wiped their butts with tissues. Every time at this time, Liuzi stared at them...
