Chapter 149: Lost and regained

After saying hello to Liu Yifeng, Tang Han went to the small conference hall on the second floor. After knocking on the door, he pushed the door in and saw seven or eight people sitting around in front of a round table, as if discussing something.

Looking at the few old experts in gambling stones, Tang Han also initially determined that it was not the thing that had just been thrown into the piece of wool, and then his heart was slightly relaxed.

When he saw Tang Han enter the door, he immediately stood up, a middle-aged man with a low body but extremely kind face, smiled at Tang Han, "You are Tang Han, I am Liang Huanglin, the president of Pingzhou Jade Association. Sorry, we may have disturbed your precious rest time."

"What is President Liang saying? During this period, President Liang has been working hard for the association. We members should thank you very much." Tang Han nodded, wondering, the president of the association is exactly the same as the legendary one. He is really a good old man.

"This is what we should do. Come on, let me introduce it to you first!" Liang Huanglin said, and then introduced the situation here to Tang Han.

The first thing he introduced was Wu Mindeng, deputy minister of the Myanmar Ministry of Mining. He was also the largest official title among the few people attending the meeting. Tang Han saw that his skin was darker, so he didn't know if he came out of the army.

There are also the general manager of the trade fair, the president of the Myanmar Jewelry Association, and several other people who are considered heavyweight in the jewelry and jade industry in Myanmar. There are also two people who call jade wool, and they are also called Wu.

Before coming to Myanmar, Tang Han prepared some information about Myanmar. He knew that Burmese people basically had names but no surnames. Men's names were named u (nianwu) and women's names were named daw (niandao). It is estimated that the Deputy Minister of Mining Department also changed it to Wu to make the name clear.

Tang Han couldn't remember these strange Burmese names, but he just needed to remember their titles. He couldn't talk to them directly anyway, and he had to translate them. Although many Burmese people also know English, Tang Han always felt that it was awkward to speak, and it was even more awkward to hear them say.

"I heard that Mr. Tang took everyone's promising jade this morning and created a new record for this Jewelry and Jade Fair. Here, on behalf of our people in Myanmar, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Tang and I wish Mr. Tang to choose more favorite jades." Just after introducing several people from Myanmar, a Chinese translator here sent a message for Wu Mindeng.

It can be seen that today Tang Han took this piece of gambling material in one fell swoop, which caused a great response in the Myanmar jade industry, 20 million yuan. In the past, even in the clear bid stage, it was unlikely that such a price could be offered.

"We businessmen are happy to do things that benefit others and self-interest." Tang Han felt something was wrong when he heard this scene. This is popular now. He first puts you high and traps you to the extreme to expand your vanity, and then kills him. Moreover, if he hadn't been stimulated, he wouldn't have paid such a high price.

After the translation, the two sides made some polite mistakes, just hoping that Tang Han would continue to work hard and contribute to the friendly exchanges between the two countries, but they didn't say so directly.

After a while, Liang Huanglin found the opportunity to speak, "I came to you today, mainly because I have something to discuss with you, about the No. 423 logo."

"President Liang just said it!" Tang Han was delighted when he heard this. Is there still a chance? He knew that they came to him not to win the bid in the morning.

"This is Huang Furen who made the wrong bid this time." Liang Huanglin then continued to introduce others to Tang Han, and another one was Xie Heng, the Chinese translator in his thirties.

"This is my first time participating in such a jewelry and jade fair. I originally wanted to bid for the No. 432 logo, but because I was nervous, I found out that I had written the wrong logo after the bid was opened, which caused a lot of trouble to President Liang. I'm sorry, I hope..." Huang Furen looked a little rough and hurriedly apologized to Tang Han.

"It was the first time I participated in such a grand public market. I was also nervous. I didn't know how many times I counted the string of zeros before I felt relieved." Tang Han interrupted him with a smile. As long as the piece of chicken oil yellow jade he was interested in had hope of returning, he was naturally happy. Although he was a little depressed and angry at the beginning, those were all the past, and he would not be so stupid that he belittled himself and blame others.

Huang Furen smiled silly, Tang Han hit the point where the most real situation was. In such a tense atmosphere, people are the most likely to make mistakes.

"If we did not check correctly, Mr. Tang, your bid price is 380,000 euros!" Liang Huanglin didn't waste much time, and he had a lot of things to deal with.

"Yes!" Tang Han nodded and responded.

"I asked them to check it out. The price you offered was the second highest price of the 423rd bid. That is to say, if Mr. Huang did not bid wrong, Mr. Tang would win the bid. Yesterday, Mr. Huang filed a complaint to our association. After the negotiation failed," Liang Huanglin said lightly. Only he knew the difficulties. Fortunately, this situation basically happens every year, but this year he has faster handling pace and dealt with the problem a moment ago. Members and related personnel who made the mistake will have more time and funds.

"Since you know that something is wrong, you should correct the error. I should have this secret logo!" Tang Han said happily. The past is over, as long as you can get the best yellow jade back.

"The problem lies here. The owner of the goods does not agree, so please come over and we will discuss and resolve it together." Liang Huanglin explained that the other party was a Burmese jade merchant who did not understand Mandarin, so he had to talk to him through a Chinese translator.

"The owner of the goods does not agree? If there is no mistake, I should win the bid." Tang Han naturally had to adhere to the principle. At least, he could not give in at the initial stage of negotiations. Although he regretted it very much yesterday, he was willing to buy it with money as long as it was within a reasonable range of tolerance.

Furthermore, there is another reason why Tang Han refused to make concessions easily. If Huang Furen saw that he rashly agreed to increase the price or make concessions, he felt that it was profitable and would make mistakes just because he was wrong, his efforts would be in vain. Therefore, Tang Han was also secretly observing the changes in the expressions of the other seller and Huang Furen.

"You also know the price of Mr. Huang's bid! He paid 500,000 euros, which was 1.2 million yuan different from your bid. The owner naturally hoped to sell the jade at the highest price. We discussed with him for a while and invited the Myanmar side to arbitrate, but they naturally hoped that the higher the transaction price, the better." Liang Huanglin continued to explain.

Tang Han asked, "President Liang, please explain everything about it to them!"

"All explained clearly, it depends on how everyone negotiates. They have also proposed a solution. Unless it is sold for 500,000 euros, Mr. Huang will pay a fine of 20% and then take out the minus material for a referendum."

"There is no other choice? I remember the previous fine was 5%!" Tang Han was about to curse in his heart again. If he took it out to continue the referendum, what he feared most was that after hearing the news, he followed the trend and snatched it away at a high price, so he should be amused and crying.

"This kind of thing happens every year, so now the Myanmar side has become smarter. As long as they take the right reason, try to increase the amount of punishment. Although our association has made a lot of efforts, many problems still cannot be properly solved." Liang Huanglin said with a wry smile.

"Please discuss with them again. Everyone is not happy to see such a thing. It would be best if it can be solved successfully." Huang Furen said hurriedly. He neither wants to pay the fine nor spend five million to get the pile of wool materials back. He has no deep impression of this piece of wool materials. Moreover, when inquiring about others, he generally does not like this pile of wool materials. If it can be turned off, it is better to turn off as much as possible.

After President Liang sighed, he continued to negotiate with the two Burmese jade merchants with slightly excited expressions.

"They said they were not wrong. They either paid a fine of 20%, and then re-referendum, or they would make a deal for 500,000 euros." The results reflected by Xie Heng's translation showed that the Burmese jade merchants were unwilling to relax at all.

Myanmar's deputy minister of the Ministry of Mines and other organizers of the transaction showed helplessness. As long as the owner of the goods did not agree, they could not do anything.

Moreover, the higher the transaction volume, the more profit the government trade club will make. Through the morning bidding, everyone knows that Tang Han’s bid is very high, and he agrees if he is tough!

Neither side was willing to admit defeat easily. Tang Han initially performed very strongly and argued with reason, but one of them was obviously at a disadvantage. First of all, they made a mistake first, and the other party had every reason to demand a high amount of compensation, and then broke the contract and continued to release the referendum. As long as the news that Tang Han wanted this jade came out, the price might be higher.

After some negotiations, although several people who reconciled in Myanmar said it was nice, the Burmese jade merchants refused to retreat. He was just arguing. Tang Han didn't want to take it out for a referendum any more, and the bid might be higher at that time.

"Or we will discuss with you if we can reduce the fine, and then take it out for a referendum. Mr. Tang, you can buy it again. What do you think?" Liang Huanglin had no choice but to see what Tang Han's opinion was.

Huang Furen only asked to minimize the losses, and he agreed to it. As long as he didn't let him spend a million in vain, he would be willing.

Tang Han pondered for a while before saying, "Let's do it! I'll add 500,000 euros myself and let them sign a contract with me to pick up the goods directly. Mr. Huang doesn't have to pay the fine."

"Are you sure?" Liang Huanglin and Huang Furen asked at the same time.

Tang Han nodded affirmatively, Huang Furen still asked with some concern, "Mr. Tang has no other requests! This is all caused by my carelessness. You could get it for more than three million, but now you have to increase it to five million."

"If Mr. Huang wants to, just treat me to a meal!" Tang Han responded with a smile.

"Absolutely no problem!" Huang Furen immediately patted his chest, and did not think deeply about why Tang Han had more than one million. In his mind, the best thing is to choose what he liked.

Liang Huanglin was also relieved and ordered Xie Heng to convey the results of the discussion here. Seeing that the jade merchants over there could not squeeze out any oil and water, they reluctantly agreed to Tang Han's request. They also knew that if Huang Furen bought the wool and transferred it to Tang Han, they would only earn 500,000 euros at most.

The handover procedure was immediately completed. After Tang Han looked at the words clearly written in black and white, his originally hungry heart was completely stable. This feeling of losing and regaining is really different. It is said that he knows how to cherish it after losing it, which is not bad at all.

"Mr. Tang is really righteous and generous!" Wu Mindeng, deputy minister of the Myanmar Ministry of Mining, stood up to celebrate the successful resolution of the whole matter with Tang Han's concessions. He did not hesitate to his praise.

"Where! Everyone is a jade lover, and it's okay to pay any price as long as you like it." Tang Han responded with a smile, and he would do it even if he said false words.

"It's really a pleasure to do business with someone like Mr. Tang." The translator conveyed the meaning of the Burmese businessmen.

Tang Han also continued to choose to speak polite words that poison the hearts of pure children.

"By the way, did you talk about that national treasure jade last time?" Liang Huanglin also breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly remembered another thing about Tang Han.

Tang Han nodded, "Well, if you don't solve this kind of worry for a day, the less we dare to bid, especially the number of jadeites here."

Liang Huanglin said, "Minister Wu is here, we can react to him in person."

Immediately, he said to the Chinese translator, "You can help us convey everyone's concerns to Minister Wu, and ask them if they can ensure that the wool that everyone invested in is safely transported out of Myanmar? Otherwise, no one dares to bid for many expensive jadeites. This will not only dampen the enthusiasm of merchants, but also lose integrity, but most of the damage is the interests of the Myanmar government."

After hearing what Xie Heng translated, Wu Mindeng pondered for a moment, then said, "In this regard, I will try my best to make all these jades pass. You can just bid with confidence."

Liang Huanglin didn't say much. Tang Han understood very well after hearing this. The things involved were quite complicated. Perhaps there were factional struggles and other things. It would be more direct and appropriate to discuss with the owners.

After sending Wu Mindeng away and several of the main leaders of the Myanmar Jewelry Association, Liang Huanglin also called Tang Hanhe, saying that he would have lunch together, and by the way, he would meet Yang Chuanyu, the Chinese president of the goods owner Jin Gu Company. Yang Chuanyu is also the honorary president of the Pingzhou Jade Association.

Tang Han naturally had no reason to refuse. If he wanted to get that piece of national treasure-level jade out of Myanmar, this was a level that he had to go through.
