Chapter 22 Brazilian Gems
Wang Yue's jade bricks were eventually bought by a collector of Li Jiapo for a sky-high price of 19 million US dollars. The reason why it rose to such a high is not only due to the value and the production restrictions in Myanmar, but it is said that it is largely because of the workmanship of this pair of top-quality jade.
"What kind of workmanship is there for a pair of tiles?" Wang Yue was stunned. He really couldn't associate the value of the two tiles with the workmanship.
"A brick is worthless in terms of workmanship, but a pair is different." Ye Tianlong said respectfully. Since he learned that Wang Yue really had magic, he has been acting like an old farmer who met the town party secretary.
"Sotheby's has conducted a special inspection. There is no difference in size, regardless of size, weight, and even if the nano-level is measured, no gap is measured. In other words, these are two truly identical bricks. Such accuracy is impossible to use the best ultra-high-precision machine tools to process easy-to-process metal materials, let alone manual processing, jadeite with high processing difficulty. It can be said that this craft is worth 5 million US dollars, which cannot be described by craftsmanship. This can be said to be a miracle." Ye Tianlong looked down at Wang Yue while speaking, and probably he had already concluded in his heart that this was Wang Daxian's masterpiece.
"That's how it is!" Wang Yue smiled.
Then he remembered that he just asked the queen to do two identical pieces at that time. It seemed that she had strictly executed this order and distributed them equally according to the crystal volume. I wonder if Sotheby's got a microscope and counted it under the microscope and found that the two bricks were not even different in the number of crystals. What would it be scared at that time? Of course, the premise was that they had to be able to count them.
"Mr. Wang, this is the rhino horn you want." While observing his face, Ye Tianlong handed over a pair of rhino horns. This was an Asian rhino horn, which looked very fresh.
"Let's put it aside!" Wang Yue said casually.
Now the business of ivory rhinoceros horns is no longer so important to him. Of course, it is still necessary to do it. Not only ivory rhinoceros horns, but also various precious furs will be added in the future, such as polar bear skin, Siberian tiger skin, etc. Of course, this requires waiting for him to have the ability to create cells.
It attracts the Japanese with various precious wildlife trade, and makes them strid their heads on the road of crime, and waits until Japan becomes the world's largest wildlife smuggling base before breaking it. All animal protectionists from all over the world look at this country with hatred, and anyway, the big money has been earned by themselves.
"In addition to the most popular jadeite, there are those gems, especially in Europe and the United States." Wang Yue asked. He found that the business was too easy to do. He could directly make himself a billionaire with just two stones, so other gems could be made!
"Diamonds are always the most popular." Ye Tianlong said. Of course, he knew that Wang Yue had sold a diamond worth five million.
Wang Yue nodded and signaled him to continue. Of course he knew that diamonds were the most popular, but this thing was too eye-catching. If you want to sell it on a large scale, you must find a certification agency, otherwise it will be difficult for buyers to rest assured. However, it will be difficult to keep it confidential. Occasionally, a few of them don’t matter, and if there are too many, it will attract wolves.
"Then it's the Emperor Jade..."
"This is OK," Wang Yue said. This thing is the most popular in Europe and the United States, but it is not so popular in China.
"But this thing is only produced in Brazil, and it is impossible for us to produce it here. And unlike jade, jade is produced in Myanmar. Apart from the Naypyidou jade publication, there is only the source of Ruili in our country. The former serves the Myanmar government and the latter serves the northern warlords. So there is nothing strange that we have a large amount of jade products in our hands. Those warlords have their own channels, and no one can determine which line we come from, and there are many like us.
But imperial jade is different. If we sell it in large quantities and are not imported through customs, it will be easy to be targeted by the government. At that time, whether we smuggled or digging out a secret mine in China, we must give an explanation." Ye Tianlong said.
He understood his meaning very clearly. It was no big deal to have a small amount, but it would be very dangerous to really treat the Emperor Jade as a business and you must face the danger at the government level.
"Then let go if you do this." Wang Yue pondered for a while.
He had already thought about how to sell imperial jade to the outside world. There was no need to do this thing in China. He could just smuggle it to the Japanese like ivory. Not only did he sell it, but he also had to sell it in large quantities. Anyway, this thing is nothing more than a variety of stones and jade, and it was mainly because of some elements.
Since imperial jade is unique to Brazil, let the imperial jade leaked from Japan attack the market dominated by Brazilians to see if Brazilians will like to be stolen from business in the end.
"There are also red sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines, and especially Paraiba tourmalines that are even more expensive than diamonds." Ye Tianlong continued.
"Very good. You can get some of these things for me, and it is best to have the same type and different colors." Wang Yue said with a smile.
He can already determine the next development direction, which is Brazil's major gems, imperial jade, tourmaline, emerald, and aquamarine. More than 80% of the world supply are provided by Brazil. Emperor jade and Paraiba tourmaline are unique to Brazil. If Japan suddenly provides a large amount to the world at this time, the price will definitely drop sharply. Brazil's gem merchants must hate the Japanese. The only thing they can determine is that Japan has also discovered these gem mines, and then Japan will become Brazil's biggest competitor in the gem industry. Cutting people's wealth is like killing parents.
As for Ye Tianlong, it’s better to focus on jade for the time being, and it’s enough to occasionally get a few diamonds out.
Just when he was confirming his new business, Qiucao in Japan also completed negotiations with the ivory merchants. Everything was designed by Wang Yue. The Japanese ivory merchant handed over the payment of the goods to Qiucao, and Qiucao transferred the payment of the goods to Wang Yue's account at UBS, and his jade money was directly transferred into this account. When Wang Yue confirmed that he had received the payment, he delivered the goods to the ivory merchants on the high seas.
The delivery method was also designed according to him. Both parties did not meet each other, but they set up lighting signals to contact each other. When they discovered each other from a distance at sea, they directly used the lighting signals to confirm their identity. After confirming, Wang Yue threw the ivory loaded with wooden boxes or other floating objects into the sea and left. The latter went to salvage it after he left. As for how to transport it back to Japan, it was nothing to do with Wang Yue.
As for the issue of mutual integrity, Qiucao guarantees this. If Wang Yue doesn't give the goods after receiving the money, then the Japanese ivory merchant will just ask Qiucao for a refund. Anyway, Qiucao's family can't get away with a big business. Besides, such a business is in love and can't sign a contract, so there is nothing to worry about about integrity.
In the first transaction, Wang Yue only planned to sell ivory. He took his rhinoceros horns and so on. In fact, rhinoceros horns are easier to make than ivory. This thing is not much different from cow horns. If you buy a bunch of cow horns, you will be able to transform them and then you will come out.
However, although the business was decided, his ship had not been built yet, so Boss Wang had to wait a moment. During this period, in addition to continuing to play his fishmonger, he also made 20 pieces of violet jadeite wool as big as a fist for Ye Tianlong, which was sold by Ye Tianlong within a week, and earned more than 50 million in total. Moreover, this did not require the auction house commission or personal income tax. After deducting 20% of the reward of Ye Tianlong, Boss Wang made a net profit of 40 million.
With such a good business, his seafood is no longer important, but this thing is a very good cover for identity, and it is the best way to make connections and entangle interests. Therefore, Boss Wang's seafood business is still very prosperous, and now he has become a local exporter. With the help of Lao Liu, he even made a representative sign and occasionally raised his hand. In short, he is also considered a top figure in this small county-level city. In addition, he is very popular in both black and white.
A month later, in front of the city hospital, Chen Xiaoya, who had just been discharged from the hospital, looked at Wang Yue in front of her as if she was dumbfounded.
"How about it, do you like it?" Boss Wang smiled and rode on a black Ducati 848, and was wearing a black racing suit very coquettishly, and even the helmet was of the same color.
Chen Xiaoya's Spring Breeze 650 flew out of a cliff dozens of meters high that night and fell directly into parts in the reef bushes below. Of course, Wang Yue wanted to buy her a new car, but not the one he rode, but the one next to him, a red 848 that was the same model as he rode. Not only motorcycles, but even red racing suits, helmets, etc., the brand was also equipped.
"I like it, I like it so much!" Chen Xiaoya rushed to the new car without hesitation, then took the racing suit and got into the big bird of prey next to her, and soon walked out of it in red, then put on her helmet, turned on the throttle, and just jumped a few meters to go to the front wheel of the car and lifted it up. It seemed that this movement was very good.
"Let's go for a ride by the beach!" She shouted to Wang Yue very casually.
Boss Wang doesn't have the ability of her. He can lift the front wheel and then fall back safely. If he lifts it up, he will probably go directly. Of course, there is no problem with riding a pussy. Two Ducati 848s, one red and one black, rushed out of the hospital gate, attracting sights on both sides.
