Chapter 152: Crazy gambling stones (Part 1)

At Zhongqin's invitation, Zhao Laoer immediately said, "Okay, okay, I just want to see a good place in Tengchong. Miss Zhong has this idea. It's great, very good!"

It's a big deal! Zhou Xuan laughed and scolded in his heart, but Zhao Lao Er was a few months older than him. If he had no wife, it would be normal for him to be in love with the spring. After all, who is a man of 26 or 7, doesn't Sichun? Besides, they are rural people. In the countryside, their fellow countrymen of their age, and their ordinary sons are in elementary school.

Zhongqin was also strange. She could talk well with Zhou Xuan. When Zhao Laoer interrupted, he immediately shut up and said nothing.

There is a clear water in the name of Qingshui Township, but there is no clear river. There is a river, and the river water is a bit black. It seems that no area with rapid economic development will be immune to environmental pollution.

The first Maoli Shang that Zhongqin took them to was named Zhou, named Zhou Bo, and was the same family as Zhou Xuan, but he was much older than Zhou Bo, and he seemed to be at least in his forties.

Zhou Bo’s house looks quite interesting. It is a wall about meter high. After entering the gate, there is a large square. On the left is a small three-story villa. On the ground floor is Zhou Bo’s office room. The hall looks like a small company, with several desks, computers, and a few girls. They are not as formal as the company, but they are all Zhou Bo’s employees, and there are also several guests who seem to be gambling stones and are paying the money.

On the right and front of the square, there is a row of one-story factory buildings covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters. On one side of the square, six or seven extended container trucks were parked, and on the other side, there were more than a dozen sedans of various types, all of which were famous brand cars. Compared with these cars, Zhou Xuan and his two Audis were the most inconspicuous cars.

Fujimoto, Ito Kinji and a female tour guide, three of them got out of the taxi and followed Zhou Xuan's group. A clerk in Zhou Bo's office took them to the factory.

Zhou Xuan knew that Zhongqin's uncle was also in the wool business, but Zhongqin did not bring them to her uncle's place first. This girl really knows how to do things. In fact, Zhou Xuan has nothing to say. Anyway, he is doing business and buying her uncle's or other people's. It's the same. Anyway, he relies on ice detection. He only buys jadeite wool in the stone, and there is no difference between who and who.

After entering Zhoubo's factory, the factory was filled with calcite machines, and there were twenty or thirty workers in the spacious factory.

This is what Zhongqin mentioned as a smaller wool merchant? The stone wool materials piled up in the factory are more than the wool materials that Zhou Xuan saw in Shenzhen and Lingzhuang, Yangzhou. It is really a distribution center for jade wool materials, and it is well-deserved.

However, Zhou Xuan was surprised that there were only workers wearing the same work clothes in the factory, but there were no customers. Looking at the cars in the square outside, there should be many customers? Where have the guests gone?

Zhao Laoer looked at the stones full of the factory and muttered, "Can these stones be sold for money? How much do we want in our hometown..."

When Zhou Xuan was about to ask if he was picking the stones in the factory, the female clerk walked up to the front again and said as she walked: "Please follow me."

Where else is this going?

Zhou Xuan was quite strange, but he still kept silent. He just followed her, but Zhongqin had no strange expression and followed naturally.

The female clerk walked to the other side of the factory, reached out and pushed open a door, turned around and said, "Please!"

Zhou Xuan was very surprised at this time. He came to the factory and wanted to go out again, so what were he doing?

But this surprise disappeared immediately after he stepped out of the factory door. Of course, another surprise followed.

Behind the factory is a larger site of thousands of square meters. In addition to a long car passage, there are mountains of stones on both sides of the passage!

Zhou Xuan stayed for a long time. This is what Zhongqin calls a smaller wool wholesaler in Tengchong? What do the big ones and bigger ones look like?

There were many people in the venue who were choosing stones, but they were not buying one piece by one like Zhou Xuan had seen before, but they were designated one piece by one with one finger.

The clerk went to Zhongqin to talk to Zhou Bo, the owner of the stone factory, and then Zhou Bo came over with a smile, shook hands with Zhou Xuan, and said, "Boss Zhou, hello, I heard from Xiao Zhong, are you from Beijing?"

"Haha, yes, Boss Zhou, your fight is not a small matter!" Zhou Xuan shook hands with him and praised him. This was really a praising statement. Comparing the gambling scenes seen in Shenzhen and Yangzhou here, it was like a big supermarket in a big city and a small shop in a rural area. It was incomparable.

Zhou Bo's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "Boss Zhou laughed and laughed at him. He just made a small business, just a small blow!"

In the Tengchong area, Zhou Bo’s business is indeed a small hit. I just heard from Zhongqin that Zhou Xuan is a businessman from Beijing. There are still merchants in Tengchong, but Zhou Bo has never received it. He went to the big market in Tengyue and made transactions with the wholesaler in Tengyue.

Zhou Bo usually comes to second-level urban merchants in mainland China. Businesses from places like Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai are not here, so they really look down on his scale. Zhou Xuan is the first one.

So Zhou Bo greeted Zhou Xuan with some enthusiasm and glanced around Zhou Xuan. Seeing that there were eight or nine people following him, he thought that this was a big show. I wonder if it was a real big merchant. The highest number of customers who bet on stones here was not more than five million. After doing so many years, Zhou Bo's net worth was only 40 to 50 million. He didn't make a bet on it himself. He basically just returned the raw materials from Myanmar, put them back to his place and then changed hands, earning the difference in the middle. He knew very well about the dangers of betting on stones. If he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, then the family business he had saved over the years would probably be defeated in half a year.

In Zhoubo's venue, the stone pickers are some small jewelers in the surrounding cities. People who want to get rich overnight are all determined by the people, but these small jewelers are all made by one hand and one step, saving money and gambling with their lives. Although the possibility of stone wool materials from Zhoubo is 99.99% likely to bet on the gamble, and they cannot bet on truly high-quality jade, but a lot of poor jade can still be solved. What they do is to use inferior products as good ones, process and sell at high prices. Among jade jade pieces, the profit is unfounded. Usually, customers who come to buy this are not understand this, and the price is not too large, hundreds to thousands, and the highest one is only tens of thousands. Although it is a low-end product, the profit is very high, and the sales volume is far greater than that of high-end jade pieces, so Zhoubo is not short of merchants, and those who hit small can make a lot of money.

Zhou Xuan really doesn't understand the wool material market. Zhou Bo is testing whether his purchasing volume is large. If the volume is large, he wants to hold on to the only big merchant for him. He thought that even if the price is lower, it would be fine.

In fact, second-level intermediaries like Zhou Bo cannot get the business of large quarry owners and more famous old pit mine owners in Myanmar. They also get the ore from some mine sources in Myanmar, and the price is of course cheaper.

This is just like other industries. Authentic goods have price codes for genuine goods, and inferior goods have price codes for inferior goods. Each has its own way and does its own business.

But Zhou Xuan really doesn't care. He used his superpower to detect what kind of mine and what kind of land mine are the same for him. As long as there is jade in the stone and there is no jade in the stone, what's the use? To put it bluntly, a pig is pulled to the countryside, it is a pig. When it comes to Beijing, it is still a pig, but the price is not the same. This is the fact.

Zhou Xuan looked at the other merchants and tried the colors of some stones. The gray and white stones were indeed the worst wool materials from the outside.

Zhou Bo introduced: "Boss Zhou, haha, your surname is Zhou, and I am also Zhou. We may have been a family five hundred years ago. We can't write two Zhou characters in one transaction. It doesn't matter whether this business can be done or not. It's good to make friends again and again!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "That's the same, hehe, Boss Zhou, since you said that, I must hand over your friend, here..."

As he said that, Zhou Xuan pointed to the wool materials in the square and asked again: "Boss Zhou, what is the price of your wool materials and how do you sell it?"

When Zhou Bo heard Zhou Xuan's tone, he didn't feel like he knew how to play with stones. He felt a little disappointed. After all, it was not realistic for a merchant who didn't know much about it. It was not realistic for him to pay a lot of money to bet on stones at once.

But Zhou Bo still introduced the market. As for whether the negotiations will be shorter and whether it will be beneficial, it is still a little too early to see the situation.

"The wool materials in this square are ordinary ones that I have pulled back from Myanmar. The wool materials are of good quality and green. I picked them out and put them in the factory on the other side. If Boss Zhou is interested, you can go over and take a look!"

Zhou Xuan understood as soon as he heard this. Zhou Bo was the same as what he saw in Shenzhen and Yangzhou. There was no difference, but the venue was much larger and the amount of wool materials was much larger. Zhou Bo's approach was no different. He still picked out green, good texture, and obvious wool materials, so that the price would be much higher. The wool materials in this scene were just supporting roles, but the real big head was in the factory, and those wool materials with green.

But Zhou Xuan liked it here. Judging from his past experience, the greener the more the wool, the better the wool, there is often no jade inside. Among the grayish-white and worst-quality wool stones, the best-quality jade is cut. Of course, it is not said that good jade cannot be cut out from the good wool, but compared with the two, the cost is that one is in the sky and the other is underground, and the legend of getting rich overnight is often born from those inconspicuous inferior wool.
