Pick up treasure

"Okay, I see, you should stir up the news as soon as possible."

After Wang Ding ordered Shitou, he didn't call Zhang Bi.

In fact, Wang Ding still had a question in his mind. He always thought that Zhang Bi sent someone to rescue him that day, so logically speaking, Zhang Bi should know that he was not dead.

Even if Zhang Bi was afraid of what would happen later, but she asked someone to release the news that she was still alive, Zhang Bi should know that she was not dead at all.Unless, unless Zhang Bi didn't ask anyone to protect him at all, then someone else is protecting him?

Who is it?

Wang Ding was really a little confused. The two managers who knew that he was going to Macau were Zhang Bi and Yue Zhencang. He didn't tell others that it was impossible for Yue Zhencang.If it wasn't for Zhang Bi, who could it be?

Wang Ding racked his brains and couldn't think of who it was, so he simply stopped wasting energy thinking about it.Another important reason for not calling Zhang Bi at the moment is that Wang Ding also wants to know how much Zhang Bi loves him, and how Zhang Bi can lead the company out of the predicament under such a difficult situation. The quality that a prospective general manager must have.

...Although I didn't sleep well yesterday, Wang Ding got up very early the next day. After breakfast, Wang Ding, Qian Le, and Bi Yue followed Bi Jiahao and his group to the hotel entrance , The Myanmar organizer has a special car to pick up these wool merchants from all over the world.

When a group of people came to the entrance of the hotel, the place was already overcrowded. It seemed that all the guests of the hotel had gathered here. Wang Ding glanced over and happened to see Qi Mingxing waving to him again.

"Wang Ding."

"President Qi."

Wang Ding greeted him with a grin.

"Since we all came together, shall we go to the public market together today?"

As Qi Mingxing said, he also looked at Bi Jiahao at the side. "President Bi, don't you want to go with us?"

"What's the matter." Bi Jiahao smiled, "Anyway, we all know each other, and we can take care of each other, so let's go to the fair together."

"Okay, okay!"

After about 10 minutes, the bus of the organizing committee finally drove over, but the so-called special bus was a bit shabby, they were all old buses, and most of the glass on the windows was gone , not to mention the air conditioner, which made the faces of these billionaires on the scene very ugly.

Although Myanmar has a sense of service, it's just that the hardware facilities are really poor.

However, the situation is stronger than others. The Burmese jadeite market is a weather vane for the price of jadeite accessories in time, and only Burma produces jadeite in the world. If you don’t get in the car, others will want it, and there will be no price competition. Opponent.

There are a total of eight buses. At this time, the door of the bus is full of people. Although I feel uncomfortable, I still have to get on the bus. Is it possible to come to Myanmar for tourism?

When getting on the bus, there is a Burmese soldier with a weapon on his shoulders at the door, and two other people check the invitation letter of the boarding personnel. According to the regulations of the Myanmar Organizing Committee, if you want to participate in the jade fair, you must have an invitation letter, otherwise you won't even be able to get on the bus.

As mentioned earlier, the origin of the invitation letter is that one is the guests invited by the government at all levels in Myanmar, the other is the invitation from the jewelery associations at all levels in Myanmar, and the third is the invitation letter issued by the Myanmar Jewelry Trading Company. , the so-called jewelry trading company is actually owned by the government...

It's just that the latter two invitation methods must be reported to the organizing committee for review and approval by the inviting party in the form of a guarantee. Merchants who bid for jadeite wool are just like buying tickets on the bus. Opportunity to board.

Of course, if there is no invitation letter, it is not impossible to enter the public market, but it must be guaranteed by the Myanmar Jewelry Company, and after paying a deposit of 1 million kyats (almost equivalent to 100 million RMB) to the organizing committee, you can also Enter the public offering, and after the public offering is over, it will be returned to the mortgagor in full.

Each invitation letter can bring three people into the venue. Bi Jiahao got two invitation letters, and Qi Mingxing has an invitation letter issued by the Myanmar Jewelry Association. These people are enough.

Behind these buses, there are still some vehicles parked. These are the cars of the local emerald trading company in Myanmar to bring their customers into the venue.

"Wang Ding, Boss Bi, let's take this car..."

Qi Mingxing might have found a relationship, and a car came to pick him up right away. Although the cooling effect of the air conditioner inside was mediocre, it was much better than that of the bus with hot air all around.

The minibus started after waiting for everyone to get on the bus, and did not go with the bus behind. The location of the public offering this time is located more than 50 kilometers away from Yangon City, which is just the opposite of the hotel where Wang Ding and others live. It can only be reached through downtown Yangon.

The Shwedagon Pagoda that Wang Ding and others went to yesterday was also on the edge of downtown Yangon. Sitting in a minibus, this was the first time for Wang Ding to observe the exotic scenery of Yangon at such a close distance.

Yangon looks like a huge park. In the city, there are plants, flowers and pagodas everywhere. Monks with bare left shoulders and red cassocks are walking barefoot on the street. Putting a brown-red oiled paper umbrella together and greeting people on the street from time to time.

The buildings in Yangon obviously have the style left over from the colonial era. The dark red roof is a typical British building. Hindu temples are inlaid with statues of various gods and covered with moss. Domes, pagodas, churches, and pigeons playing in the sky.

All the cars driving on the street seem to have come out of scrap yards, and most of them are rusty. Due to the Western blockade, it is difficult to import cars in Myanmar. Many cars are from the Ne Win era, classic cars, jeeps and Vintage British design Indian produced buses abound.

In comparison, the taxi that Wang Ding and the others took when they came yesterday could be regarded as a new car.

In the urban area, there were many disheveled women on the street, they were carrying baskets, Bi Jiahao told Wang Ding that they were going to take a bath in the open-air bathroom.

And Qi Mingxing also told Wang Ding that there are women sellers on the streets of Myanmar. If Myanmar women see a Chinese, they will definitely be very willing to follow you. This is also why Myanmar women are willing to marry Chinese people. explain.

After the car left Yangon City, it started to speed up, but the car was old and the speed was not fast. According to the driver, it would take another hour to get to the Emerald Market.

"Brother Wang Ding, why is this place where jadeite is traded called Gongpan?"

Qian Le was a little bored, chatted with Wang Ding, Bi Jiahao and others in the car, and heard this word, but Qian Le really didn't know the meaning of Gongpan.

"You kid, you came here to gamble on stones without even knowing this. This public offering means that the seller announces the items that are ready to be traded in the market, so that people in the industry or the market can evaluate the quality of the items that are recognized in the market. The lowest transaction price, and then the buyer will bid on the basis of the price. However, the locals call the emerald public market ""

"Yes. The earliest time Myanmar held a jadeite public sale dates back to 1962. It was after the military took over the Burmese regime to stop the loss of tax revenue and make the scarce jadeite resources create more foreign exchange for the country. Income, in March 1964, we began to hold jade and jade wool fairs.”

Bi Jiahao added, "The valuation of the raw materials on the jadeite public market is only the base price negotiated by industry insiders or the market. There is no need for special appraisal of the item, because there are some hidden bids, and there is no way to evaluate it. The price can be marked by the owner of the wool. Regarding this, the "Jewelry Law" of Myanmar stipulates that all jadeite wool mined from the mining area must be concentrated in Yangon for classification, grading, numbering, and reserve price. Jewelry merchants from all over the world are regularly invited to Yangon to evaluate and bid for these woolen materials, and whoever bids the highest price can buy them.”

"What does the hidden sign say?"

"Businessmen fill in the number issued by the organizing committee to the bidder, the name of the bidder, the bidding woolen number and the bidding price on the bidding form, and then put it into the standard box marked with the woolen number, because the bidders do not agree with each other. Knowing the bidding items and bidding prices of each of them, it is called "hidden bid", one piece of wool and one standard box, so it will be very convenient to open the bid."

"Yes, when the bid is released, the successful bidder and the bidding price will be publicly announced according to the number of the wool. In Myanmar, every time the jade and jade wool is offered in public, the hidden bid wool accounts for more than 45%, which can be said to be the main way of selling wool.

"The mark?"

"The open bid is an on-site auction. Wool merchants are all gathered in the trading hall. Every time the public auction staff announces a woolen number, the bidders will take turns to bid on the spot. Whoever shows the highest bidding price will win the bid."

"By the way, Wang Ding, if you win the bid, it's best to pay and clear the formalities at that time. The organizing committee will handle the customs clearance, transportation procedures or approval of sales and processing certificates on the spot for free. This will save a lot of things..."

After Bi Jiahao introduced some information about the public offering, he specifically explained the matters after winning the bid. If the winning bidder did not pay off the wool price on the spot, he only signed the "Bid Winning Contract" with the organizing committee and did not need to pay any deposit. Within 3 months, remit the winning bid to the Myanmar bank account designated by the organizing committee, and the organizing committee has full authority to handle customs clearance, transportation and other matters for free.

Of course, small pieces of wool can also be taken away with you, and the certificate issued by the organizing committee can be used for customs clearance.

The organizing committee will create special files for the wool merchants who won the bid, and they will participate in the public offering again, and the admission procedures will be treated preferentially, which is a bit like VIP treatment.

And if the wool merchants evade the bid after winning the bid, the punishment will be quite severe. The organizing committee will give them an indefinite (Myanmar) or 10-year (foreign nationality) penalty to disqualify them from participating in the public auction. Foreign businessmen It will even limit their entry eligibility for five years. (To be continued.)
