Chapter 268 Crazy Stone

The base price of the pile of wool was [-] euros, and the price offered by Ningxia was [-] yuan.

Ning Xia blinked mischievously at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Chen handed Ningxia a bottle of water. Nay Pyi Taw has a tropical climate, and there are only two seasons in a year, the rainy season and the dry season.At this time, the climate is dry and hot, and the bidding field is irradiated by the hot sun, just like the Gobi in Xinjiang.All the merchants participating in the bidding are suffering from both mental and physical torture.If water is not replenished at any time, dehydration and heatstroke may be life-threatening, because the location of the marking field is remote, and it is difficult for patients to be sent to the hospital.

Ningxia sips water, and after drinking it, it will turn into sweat after a while, and water is a commodity that is in short supply here. Apart from being ridiculously expensive, sometimes you can’t buy it even if you have money, so you must save it. You can't drink, just take small sips to prevent yourself from feeling too thirsty, and just keep your throat dry.

"Let's take a break." Xiao Chen pointed to the shade of a tree on one side and said.

The heat was indeed unbearable, Ning Xia nodded, and the two walked to the shade of a tree to rest for a while.

Xiao Chen is obviously no stranger to this jadeite fair, and introduced this tender to Ningxia.

This bidding field is like an emerald park, and there are some emeralds as decorations, but they are all inferior wool.In the place where they rest in Ningxia, there is a jade carving. It is said to be a jade carving, but it is actually a compliment. Otherwise, Ningxia doesn’t know what to call this decoration. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about it.

At this moment, Ningxia and the others are only on the periphery of the bidding field, and all the wool materials are placed in neatly arranged large wooden boxes, because none of them are high-quality emerald wool materials, and the protection measures are not so good.

Going further inside, it's different. To put it bluntly, the jadeite wool here is like animals in a zoo. Ordinary animals are kept free-range, higher-end ones are kept in captivity, and more expensive ones are kept in cages.

Ningxia and the others are now in the "free-range area".Going further inside, you can see more high-end jadeite wool, and there will also be a simple pergola to shade the sun. When you go to the innermost part, those really high-end jadeite wools are locked in special big iron cages.Generally speaking, the jadeite wool here will be available in English and Burmese, introducing the factory, size and volume of the jadeite wool.There is no need for buyers to rack their brains to determine the source of the jadeite wool.

After a short rest, Ningxia decided to continue walking inside, which was still far away from the high-end jade wool area.

On this corridor, apart from the merchants coming and going, there are Burmese soldiers on patrol, and some Burmese beauties in American clothes appear from time to time.

Ning Xia wanted to take a few pictures of emerald wool as souvenirs with her mobile phone, but when the three or two Burmese beauties saw that Ning Xia wanted to take pictures, they even posed for Ning Xia's mobile phone camera, making Ning Xia smile bitterly.

There is even a big-eyed beauty who actively and enthusiastically dragged Xiao Chen into the mirror. Ning Xia is not the kind of petty and narrow-minded girlfriend. Seeing other beauties being so friendly to her boyfriend, she is quite generous, and she also uses English Instructing Xiao Chen and the beauty how to pose, when she pressed the camera button, the picture freezes, in the photo taken, Xiao Chen is a full body portrait, the Burmese beauty only took half of her cheek, and she is still smiling He praised the Burmese beauty in English, "So beautiful, so beautiful." I really don't know that half of the cheek, even the beauty's eye is only half-patted, so where does the beauty come from?

Seeing Ning Xia's good temper, the other beauties also moved to Xiao Chen's side like flies, and took a group photo with him.

Ningxia said in her heart, I will shoot for you, I will really shoot for you.

After she finished taking pictures, when Xiao Chen came to look at the photos, he only saw his own face, and those Burmese beauties only saw a row of hair.

"Oh, there's no way, such Burmese beauties are too short." Ning Xia shrugged and said with a regretful look, absolutely not blinking when she told lies.

Xiao Chen burst into laughter in his heart, he has nothing to be unhappy about, the smugness in his heart is true, the more stingy and narrow-minded Ning Xia behaves, it proves that she cares about him more, why is he still waiting secretly?

The two walked in side by side, and Ningxia put in some more bids in the middle, and the number of bids in their hands seemed to decrease.

Ningxia counted the remaining bids, and then began to mutter, "This old Mian is willing to kill people. Not only do they need tickets, but the bids are also ridiculously expensive. They will do whatever they want."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This proves that Burmese people are born to do business, and everyone is good at calculating."

Ningxia immediately said disdainfully, "So what if you are a good abacus? Just counting how many billions of dollars we Chinese contribute to their jadeite every year, why can't Myanmar become economically developed and reach the fourth place in Asia?" How about going inside Xiaolong?"

Xiao Chen immediately laughed and said, "Don't bring anyone who hates others here, we only talk about business and not politics."

Ning Xia nodded, she just said so casually.

While talking, the two walked to the wool fabric area under the arbor. Most of the wool fabrics here are clear fabrics.They were all locked in iron cages.Ningxia saw a piece of violet wool, which was extremely elegant in color and relatively high in purity. It was not as good as glass, but better than ice. It was not too small, and the weight marked on it was more than 20 kilograms.The base price is 20 euros, equivalent to nearly 200 million yuan.

Of course, Ningxia also knew that the price of the base bid seemed cheap, but it was not. When the bid was unveiled, it was unknown how many times the price would be sold.

She had heard that last year on the Burmese public market, the seller intended to sell a piece of jade wool with a price of more than 1000 million yuan, and finally sold it for 6000 million yuan, a tenfold increase in profit margins.

The disparity between the transaction price and the market price of wool is also one of the reasons why the jadeite market price continues to rise.Take the piece of jadeite wool bought for 6000 million yuan as an example. If you buy it at such a high price, you will have to pay a 30.00% tariff, plus shipping costs. The price of this piece of jadeite wool in China has already exceeded [-] million yuan. Well, this is not the end, if you want to process these jadeite wool into jewelry, you still have to pay the processing fee.Naturally, one would not dare to ask ordinary jade craftsmen to process and carve the jadeite wool bought at sky-high prices. If a famous expert is invited, the labor cost will be a figure that should not be underestimated.

No one will make a loss-making business. As for the cost, jewelers will naturally ask consumers to pay for it.As a result, the price of jadeite can only rise but not fall.

"If you invest 40 euros, you can still make some money if you buy it back." Xiao Chen said to Ning Xia after some consideration.

Ning Xia also felt that the price was appropriate, and she would not accept it if it was higher. This was because she bought this piece of jadeite wool for Ning Shi.If not, the 20 euros is too high for her. She is used to picking up treasures from scraps. The cost price of her emerald wool is so low. Shi, the profit margin suddenly became frighteningly high.She usually makes a lot of money, and the profit margin is at least ten times, or even dozens of times.

After filling out the bid form, put it into the bid box next to the piece of violet wool, Ning Xia and Xiao Chen continued to look forward.

Although there are many jade wool materials, there are still a few high-quality goods, let alone top-quality goods.

As time passed, Ningxia carefully chose for a long time, and finally found a piece of glass full of green emeralds. Although the green color is slightly lighter, the emerald green color is like a green spring, and it is very beautiful.Moreover, this piece of full green jadeite is a kind of glass, with fine texture, compact structure, crystal clear, soft flesh, strong reflection on the surface, and full of spirituality, which fully embodies the true meaning of green and the nobility of green. It looks green and very rich. spirituality.

Ningxia likes it very much.

Although the full green jadeite is inferior to the imperial green jadeite, it is far better than other jadeites. The market price of a full green jadeite bracelet made of glass is at least 1000 million or more.

Ningxia took a look at the base price. It was marked at 700 million euros. The base price was considered very cheap, but the transaction price was unknown.This dark mark is more exciting and challenging than the clear mark.You never know how much your opponent will bid, and in order to win the emerald you want, you have to spend a lot of money.

Ning Xia frowned and thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth. She offered a price of [-] million. This price was not the mood she had when she bid for the pile of bricks with the peerless emerald eggs hidden, but a playful one. Write the price tag.This is purely a strategy to let her narrowly beat her opponent. In such a bidding, the kingly way is that the highest bidder wins, even if it is only a penny higher.Ningxia was in love with this piece of green jadeite, so it took so much effort to report the winning bid.

Xiao Chen saw Ningxia's price tag, and knew that Ningxia really wanted to get this piece of green jadeite this time. According to the current exchange rate of Euro to Renminbi, if 2000 million Euros were converted into Renminbi, it would be as high as 6000 million Renminbi.

"It is a piece of jade wool worth buying. I hope we can win the bid." Xiao Chen said to Ningxia with a smile after putting the bidding documents into the bidding box in Ningxia.

Ning Xia shook his head and said, "This is really unknown. There are nearly ten thousand merchants participating in the jadeite auction. It is impossible to guess how many competitors will grab this jadeite from us. But I think my price is crazy enough , is there anyone crazier than me?"

Ningxia's words are absolutely objective.In the past two years, the price of jadeite has been rising, causing jadeite wool to rise again and again.Those who invest in the emerald industry are not the craziest, only crazier.These beautiful stones bestowed by nature are lifeless, but they have a crazy charm.

"Actually, think about it, I really don't know why we people are so fascinated by such lifeless stones that we lose our reason?" Ning Xia said with some emotion.I don't know how many people in this world, just for such a crazy stone, risking their family and property, going forward bravely.

"It's nothing more than a word of profit." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Ning Xia then turned her face away, looking at Xiao Chen with serious eyes.
