Jianbao life

Chapter 330 Yudu
Liu Sizhe came back in time, allowing everyone to catch up with the plane at five o'clock, so before seven o'clock in the evening, everyone set foot on the land of Lingnan.

This time, the four of them went to Yangmei together, and there was also an old man in his 50s. His name was An Yongqing. The record is that [-] yuan of wool was picked, and [-] yuan was raised, and one of them was made of glass.

Such a record, placed in the stone gambling circle, is indeed called a stone gambling master.

The reason why Yi Hongguo took An Yongqing with him was because he wanted him to witness firsthand how powerful Chu Chen's stone betting was, so that at a critical moment, the two had conflicts because of differences of opinion.

An Yongqing didn't look down on Chu Chen because of his youth. After all, Yihongguo's business was so big that it was impossible for him to joke about it. However, he still had some doubts about Chu Chen's record.

This is because An Yongqing learned from Yi Hongguo's narration that Chu Chen's level has already caught up with the Burmese old Weng who is called the Emerald King, while Chu Chen is only in his early twenties. It's hard for him to believe it.

Although he knew that the Jade King's apprentice also had such a record, in his opinion, Chu Chen was definitely not as good as the Jade King's apprentice.

Seeing the disbelief in An Yongqing's eyes, Yi Hongguo didn't say much. For some things, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. As long as he witnessed it with his own eyes, he would know how powerful Chu Chen is.

Yi Hongguo had called his friend before getting on the plane, so as soon as we got out of the aisle, we saw the pick-up person holding a big sign, so we sat in the car he drove and started to talk about the trip. Destination departure.

Yangmei is a professional jade village integrating jade production, processing and trade. It is known as the "Hometown of Gold and Jade", but it is a village that does not produce jade.Here is the largest jade wholesale market in Lingnan, and it can also be said to be the largest jade wholesale market in the country.

Moreover, since 2000, Yangmei’s production and sales of jade wares have surpassed Xiangjiang in terms of quantity and quality, and it has leapt to become the world’s largest high-end jade distribution center.

Yangmei has a long history of manufacturing and selling jade articles. Since 1905, villagers have been engaged in jade processing, production and trade, and it has a history of nearly a hundred years.

So far, among the more than 500 households in the village, there are more than 400 large and small jade processing and trading, which is equivalent to 500% of the total households in the village, and more than [-] people are professionally engaged in jade processing and trade.In other words, almost all the villagers are engaged in businesses related to jadeite.

Some of them focus on the trade of finished jadeite products, some focus on jadeite processing, and many people focus on the business of rough jadeite. Of course, the business of betting on stones is indispensable, and there are quite a few people involved in the business of betting on stones.

Therefore, there is never a lack of such fascinating and embarrassing legendary stories of getting rich overnight, or losing millions of dollars in one blow.

Known as the capital of jade, Yangmei is undoubtedly a good place for jade collectors, and it is a cornucopia for jade merchants.As a large-scale professional high-end jade trading market, it not only has exquisitely carved and priceless jadeite jade, but also has a unique business operation model.

According to Yi Hongguo, Yangmei people have their own set of risk-avoiding methods for jade processing.

According to the usual practice in the village, the villagers implement joint-stock operations on the basis of voluntary associations, sharing risks and sharing profits.

When the jadeite wool is transported to the village, it will be evaluated and analyzed by experienced appraisers first, and then the price will be negotiated. The villagers who want to participate in it will voluntarily form a joint stock partner.After the wool is untied, it is separately made into finished jade products, which are sold in the market.As a result, there are more and more jade processing factories and carving factories, and their development is becoming more and more mature.

When Chu Chen heard about this unique business operation model, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. With such a business experience, it is reasonable for Yangmei to become the current jade capital.

When Chu Chen and the others got out of the car, Yang Mei gave them the most intuitive impression. It didn't look like a village, but like a bustling city, and there was a star hotel in a village, so that It was really hard for Chu Chen to imagine.

After getting off the car, everyone put the salute in the room prepared for them in advance, and after settling in, everyone followed Yi Hongguo to the hotel that had been reserved by phone.

After arriving there, Yi Hongguo introduced to both parties. His friend was named Qiang Zhaojun, and Kazuya was an old friend. Judging from Qiang Zhaojun's appearance, he was more mature than Yihongguo. bigger.According to what Yi Hongguo said earlier, Qiang Zhaojun has more than 15 years of stone gambling experience.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when the waiter served the food, Qiang Zhaojun persuaded him to drink warmly and appropriately.

Of course, Hu Yong strictly abides by his duties as a bodyguard and never drinks alcohol. Qiang Zhaojun persuaded him for a long time, but failed. Later, he heard that this person was Chu Chen's bodyguard, so he gave up.But because of this, Qiang Zhaojun also knew that Chu Chen's identity was probably not that simple.

During the dinner, no one talked about the topic of stone gambling. In Qiang Zhaojun's words, eating is a time for physical and mental rest, and it is best not to talk about business.However, Qiang Zhaojun is very talkative and humorous, chatting with Yi Hongguo, laughing and laughing all the time, after a meal, the distance between everyone has been shortened a lot.

After the meal, Yi Hongguo asked with a smile, "Old Qiang, how did you think about what I told you earlier?"

"You bastard, it seems like I owe you." Qiang Zhaojun smiled and said, "I have no problem with this matter, but the jade carving master must agree to it."

Yi Hongguo laughed and said: "Old Qiang, you are a bit cunning! We don't know the jade carving master in your factory, who knows which technique is better. Since you agreed, I will do it to the end and give the matter to you." I've made all the arrangements, it's fine if I don't. This is the first thing my junior brother asked me to do, if it goes wrong, where do you want my face to go?"

Qiang Zhaojun shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so let me arrange it for you."

Chu Chen also reacted quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and said, "Brother Qiang, thank you so much. I will toast you with tea instead of wine."

To be honest, a jade carving master with good skills and development potential is also very important to a jadeite processing factory. If you just let it go to Chu Chen, it must be a lie if you say you don't feel sorry.

But who would let a friend who has been with him for many years beg him? This matter must be done to the friend.Therefore, Qiang Zhaojun naturally accepted Chu Chen's thanks.

"There's no need to thank you for this matter. It's an emergency between friends! Brother Chu, I heard from Lao Yi before that you are very good at betting stones?"

Chu Chen said modestly: "Hehe, I can't say it's great, it's just that I have some experience in betting on stones and I'm lucky."

Qiang Zhaojun smiled and said: "Look, you are being humble, right? As the saying goes, three points for gambling stone experience and seven points for luck. Luck is in our business, so of course it is also counted as part of strength. In this way, I don't know there is a thing , can you please help me?"

"Brother Qiang, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will be willing to define it!" Chu Chen said solemnly.

Qiang Zhaojun said: "This matter, whether it is difficult or not, it is related to a stone betting activity tomorrow night."

"Old Qiang, you don't mean to say that there will be "a thousand pieces of gold" tomorrow, right?" Yi Hongguo interjected.

"Yes." Qiang Zhaojun nodded.

"One piece of gold? What does this mean?" Others present were very curious about this.

Yi Hongguo explained with a smile: "This event is held once a year, and the procedure is very simple, that is, whoever chooses the woolen material will win the emerald with higher value, and the winner will get all the emeralds awarded by all the contestants. jadeite, so this activity is called a thousand dollars.”

"Oh? Did you choose the wool to take with you, or did the organizer provide it?" Liu Sizhe asked a crucial question.

"There are both my own and those provided by the organizer." Yi Hongguo replied.

"What do you mean? Isn't this unfair?" Chu Chen frowned.

"Hehe!" Qiang Zhaojun explained with a smile: "Of course it won't be unfair, because there are two rounds in the competition. In the first round, the competition is the wool that I brought, and then the stones are analyzed on the spot to determine the top six. The winner goes to the second round, in this round, the contestant chooses a piece of wool from the organizer, and then interprets the stone on the spot to decide the winner.”

"In that case, who owns the emeralds that were released in the first round of the competition?"

"Not even one, these are all for the final winner."

Liu Sizhe was surprised when he heard the words: "In that case, wouldn't the final winner earn at least tens of millions?"

"Of course." Qiang Zhaojun said: "The most I remember is the competition from the year before last. The champion finally earned a full 7000 million wool!"

"Two hundred and thirty million!"

This number really shocked everyone. Even if what Qiang Zhaojun said was an understatement, they could fully imagine how thrilling and exciting the scene was.It's no wonder that there will be two games in the game. If there is only one game, it will be somewhat unfair.

After a while, Chu Chen asked again: "Brother Qiang, there should be other rules for this competition, right? For example, there will be some restrictions on the raw materials for the first round of the competition, right?"
Qiang Zhaojun said: "Of course there are regulations. The weight of wool for the first competition cannot exceed ten kilograms, and it must be full of wool. In addition, the age of the participants must not be higher than 30 years old, which is why I invite you Reasons for helping."

Chu Chen nodded clearly, probably this is one of the reasons why there are two games in the game.
