78. Chapter 78 Emerald Conference
The venue for the Jade Conference is an exhibition venue. The jade or wool materials prepared in advance are placed on the table. Please visit.
Among them, the wool materials are all green and the best products are called half gambling, which is expensive. The main reason is that people who attend the jade conference do not want to return empty-handed and prepare them like this. The jade that has been cut is directly marked and priced.
When Ding Xiaobu and Kong Qingbin went up, the jade conference had already begun. People were visiting one after another, and some had even started to negotiate prices.
They were not idle and started to visit. The jade here was really good, they were all rare authentic products, so they were naturally very interested.
At this time, a red jade the size of a fist appeared in their field of vision and attracted their attention. The red jade at the fingertips was crystal clear, like blood, and it was extremely rare.
Someone next to him introduced in English: "This piece of red jade is produced by Wuyouhe Laokeng. It is nine centimeters high, five centimeters wide, three centimeters thick, and has a net weight of 834 grams. It is a rare piece of unparalleled jade in recent years. It is round in front and back, and it is a magical craft. It can be used as a Buddha statue or an accessories, with a price of 2 million US dollars. If you like it, the higher the price will be."
This is Myanmar. There is no rule that Chinese antique shops have to bid first, first served, and who will get it first, so they will be auctioned directly.
People who surrounded him had some thoughts to buy, so they really offered a bid, from 2 million US dollars to 4 million US dollars. The price doubled and was bought by a Singapore buyer.
Direct background transaction.
Ding Xiaobu and the others were not watching, and they went elsewhere and didn't have the intention to buy it, because the jade here basically had to be bought for millions of dollars.
They can buy at most one yuan for money, and then they buy this kind of thing and make it, and they have to have a good next-hand deal, otherwise they will have to lose their hands.
They had to watch this way, but for Xu Jiafu, Kong Qingbin, never taking action, Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but ask quietly in curiosity: "Old Kong, your Xu Jiafu was invited, didn't you want to buy two?"
Kong Qingbin was already very convinced by Ding Xiaobu and said to the truth: "Our Xu Jiafu focuses on the civilian jewelry industry in Hong Kong, and he rarely involves this level of fine products. The main reason why we were invited was that we purchased a lot of goods and had some fame. In fact, we almost always play with each other, at most we bought a few pieces of green wool and tried our luck."
"That's it!"
Ding Xiaobu didn't expect that Xu Jiafu's management was similar to theirs, and then said, "Then let's not have a good time here. Let's go to the stone gambling side to see the luck of Bangbang. We can't compare with these local wealthy people."
This is the truth. The money they have in their hands is really not able to make it here now. It is too high-end. However, the most profitable thing in the jade industry is to buy finished products directly and not bet, because it is impossible to make 100% profit if you are involved in gambling.
Especially nowadays, gambling stones are becoming more and more fake. It is difficult to go up like the previous few years. Once a piece of imperial green appears, it is a hundred times or a thousand times, and it has truly become a bottomless pit that fights against the big with small things.
Kong Qingbin also said that, and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, listen to Mr. Ding, let's go and take a look. Mr. Ding is lucky today, and we might be able to make a fortune." Then he led the way to the Maoli area, and there were more people. Each booth surrounded a group of people, saying that the host and the west were discussing in groups of three or five.
Due to the language barrier, Ding Xiaobu and the others didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, there was a person cutting wool, so they surrounded him.
I saw the man holding the professional utensils specially prepared at the jade conference, carefully cutting them and polishing them with machines from time to time. He was extremely careful.
The fast wool material is not large, with a diameter of about ten centimeters. At this time, after a few cuts, it was not green before it even appeared. I couldn't help but sigh and began to cut the part that had already appeared in some green.
This cut is just to protect the completion of jade. First, check whether there is green in other places. It is gone. Starting from the green place, cut it bit by bit. Although it is easy to destroy jade, it is usually not big. It is cut like this. The result is naturally unsatisfactory. It only takes about three centimeters and disappears in one stroke.
The people off the field couldn't help but sigh and lost the bet.
The man was also angry and sighed, but the price on the booth was $300,000, which seemed to be in the air.
"This is gambling stones, one sword heaven, one sword hell."
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but smiled faintly, and the young woman also understood it deeply. Then the crowd began to disperse, and some people began to choose again. Ding Xiaobu said again: "Let's have fun too, each person has one dollar, just pretend it has not been in vain. Anyway, our money is all funded by the Vietnamese brothers."
Everyone looked at it all the way, and they were naturally a little itchy when they saw it, especially those fine jadeites and so much money they spent, which made people want to try it.
At this time, when Ding Xiaobu said it, he laughed and became interested, and started to choose. The booths here are relatively clear. Each booth is divided into three floors, with many wool materials placed in order, one hundred thousand US dollars, two hundred thousand US dollars, and three hundred thousand US dollars.
Li Gen, Wang Shan, Kong Qingbin and others had their ideas on this aspect, so they were not vague at all and began to choose one by one.
The young woman couldn't help but feel a little confused, "Brother Xiao Bu, I don't understand, so I won't choose."
"There is nothing to understand or not, it depends on luck."
Ding Xiaobu has studied jadeite's stone gambling technique. He has bet several times, but he still uses the rings of the leader to gamble. If you win and lose, you can imagine the difficulty of this industry.
"Okay, I'll choose one."
She bent down to choose the column of $100,000, and it was still a little painful, afraid that she would accompany her, so she was extremely attentive.
Ding Xiaobu was not idle either. He started watching several exhibitions and used the rings of the leader and was very careful. However, even the most technological machine can't tell the difference between gambling stones. He was not sure about it, and he was trying his luck.
Li Gen and Wang Shan chose a quick choice. Each of them quickly chose a $200,000, which seemed to have used all the money from the gambling game just now. Besides, both of them were green, so they would not be accompanied by them. He laughed and walked to Ding Xiaobu: "Mr. Xiao Ding, please show it, are these two dollars OK?"
The two pieces they chose were not particularly large, with a diameter of about ten centimeters. One was cut open, and the jade was produced in the open air, and the other was painted out of the jade.
The exposed ones are relatively large, one or two centimeters in size, which is a relatively safe gambling stone.
Ding Xiaobu showed it. The one exposed by Li Gen showed that it was ice jade. The level was very good, better than the two they bought. But they didn't know the size, so they shouldn't be with them anymore, so they nodded.
Wang Shan’s are similar, they are all relatively safe gambling stones, and they can’t help but smile, “You guys are both looking for victory in a stable manner, but sometimes it’s not good to be too stable. Let’s do this. Today we will see whoever chooses the best stuff and treats the guests. How about it.”
Kong Qingbin's choice was almost the same, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not lucky today. It seems that I'm going to eat you." Haha.
His subordinates had no objection and started to choose. The two of them had a lower financial strength, so they chose one together. Like the young woman, they chose one of them, which cost 100,000 US dollars. They looked at each one, and were extremely serious, but they chose very quickly.
Only Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie are left.
Ding Xiaobu chose a piece of transparent glass jadeite, which felt very good. He should be a sure profit without losing money.
The young woman chose a very large wool material, as big as a ripe watermelon, and the exposed bean-type jadeite seems a bit outrageous.
At this time, she felt a little trouble when she picked it up. Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but laugh and quickly took it over and said jokingly: "Sister Kou, why did you choose such a big one?"
"The big insurance, you can't pay for it if you pay a little."
Although I won a lot of money in gambling today, I used 100,000 US dollars to gamble. The young woman still felt a little reluctant, so she chose the biggest one.
It made everyone laugh.
The young woman's cheeks couldn't help but blushed, and she pouted and said, "Gambling on stones, gambling on stones, gambling on luck. I'm big, and luck accounts for a large proportion. Maybe I will beat you when the time comes."
"There is such a theory in gambling stones?"
Ding Xiaobu laughed, causing the young woman to pinch her, and the atmosphere became much more lively. "Don't pinch, stop pinch, I should hold your big watermelon when I pinched."
"You are the watermelon!"
The young woman angrily snatched it over, then carried it to the cutting table, and used the chips to pay.
Ding Xiaobu and his friends also surrounded him, paid one by one, and began to cut.
"I'll come at the end, you cut first." After the young woman put it down, she gave up and asked them to cut first.
Wang Shan and Li Gen waited the longest time. When they were impatient, they quickly said, "We two brothers come first."
Wang Shan started cutting first, Li Gen was helping, and when the people around him saw that someone had been gambling with stones, they immediately surrounded him.
Wang Shan cut jade and had experience in the process. He first took a grinder and grinded it bit by bit. It took only one centimeter to fall down in a minute. Li Gen kept watering, but he never saw green. Then he grinded for a while, but he saw that it was not effective. He took a knife and cut more than half of it from the side. Still, he didn't see green.
Wang Shan took a breath of air conditioning himself.
Li Gen gave an idea and said, "Just take a knife from the middle first, it should be a big deal."
"Um."
Wang Shan cut his knife and it was still not green, so it was almost the same. This ice-type jade should have exceeded three centimeters and began to polish it from the place where it appeared green.
It was not big, almost the same as the one they bought. Although the level was better, they still lost the bet for $200,000. They smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "I didn't have a good start."
He had bet on stone and knew that this thing was a sword heaven and a sword hell, so he didn't take it to his heart.
Chapter completed!
