Chapter 229
"Okay, I'll see Xin Rui's grandpa later, I'll help you call grandpa a few more times, haha."

"Get out of here, take good care of my wife, don't drink, don't sing, don't go out at night, don't talk to men, don't..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you are not finished. If you have the guts to say it yourself, it's okay to hang up."

Wang Haoming heard that Li Zhi was talking on the phone like a resentful woman, and quickly hung up the phone. Long-distance roaming requires money, so it hurts to talk nonsense with him.

…………

"Brother Luo, this way."

Wang Haoming jumped out of the car and helped Luo Feng pick up a bag. Luo Feng's flight was a bit late, and he had been waiting at the airport for more than two hours.

"Xiao Wang, let me introduce you. This is Master Peng. He has a very good eye for betting on stones. This is my little brother Wang Haoming. Please get to know him."

Luo Feng did not come alone, beside him was a middle-aged man in his 40s, about the same age as Luo Feng, tall and thin, with bright eyes.

Wang Haoming knew that Luo Feng had always had a higher vision, and people with wealth like Fatty Ma couldn't fall into his eyes.

Now he respects Master Peng very much, Wang Haoming also paid attention to it, and after a few words with Master Peng, he let the two of them get into the car and drove to Pingzhou.

"Wang Haoming, I've heard that you and Li Zhi, the boy, stole the limelight at the exhibition. You didn't even see Li Zhi's vigor, like a crab, and you almost bought my villa. gone."

Wang Haoming knew Li Zhi's temperament, and he would definitely show it off after earning so much money, but what Luo Feng said was a bit exaggerated, and with Li Zhi's courage, he didn't dare to be arrogant with Luo Feng.

"Come on, Brother Luo, we were just lucky enough to play around, not as good as your handiwork, but Brother Luo, you are not playing with jadeite, why do you want to get involved in this circle?"

Wang Haoming has always had this question in his mind, not only Luo Feng, but also Fatty Ma, as the saying goes: "Fatty Ma and Luo Feng are not considered to be in the jade business, but they are all interested in this stone gambling in Pingzhou." He was very interested, which made Wang Haoming a little puzzled.

"I just spent tens of millions for fun. It's nothing. Now even some investment companies affiliated to state-owned enterprises have injected funds into gambling stones. Wang Haoming, you must first understand that gambling stones has already It has developed to be the same as the stock market, and it is a very complete speculative market.”

Wang Haoming was taken aback by Luo Feng's words, he never thought that Luo Feng would raise the gambling stone to such a height.

After hearing Luo Feng's explanation, Wang Haoming finally understood that he didn't come here to bet on stones, but wanted to hoard a batch of rough emerald stones, and after a few years, he would sell them Get your hands on it and make a profit from it.

After entering the new century, under the expectation of inflation, the price of gold soared wildly.

And another speculative market, which has faded out of people's sight for many years, is also booming, and gradually entered the prosperous market. In this highly speculative market, jade and jadeite are considered to have the same function of maintaining and appreciating value as gold. collections.

Due to the production of emeralds such as Myanmar, mining has continued for hundreds of years, especially since the beginning of the new century, some old mines have almost been mined, and more people are looking for new mining areas.What followed was a sharp increase in the price of raw stone wool.

Generally, the reserve price of gambling stones is not too high, but the transaction price is often several times or even dozens of times higher than the reserve price. This year, the skin of Daicui or Songhua skin performed well, and a piece of wool can reach tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram from the reserve price. , this is commonplace.

If it is a gambling stone from an old pit with jade, the price is even more immeasurable. Generally, the rocks from an old pit that perform well have a reserve price of at least [-] kilograms.

However, its transaction price often reaches hundreds of thousands per kilogram, and tens of millions per piece of raw material, which is normal. This would have been unimaginable a few years ago, which shows the upward trend of jadeite raw materials.

Jade culture has a history of thousands of years in China.Therefore, the business at all stages from rough stone to jade has been "developed" very mature.

There are stone betting circles, jadeite circles, and jade finished jade circles, among which the most risky ones are naturally the stone betting circles.

But there is another type of people who pass the risk of betting on stones to others. These people just buy rough stones and do not cut stones. After hoarding these wools for several years, they wait until the price is right before putting them on the market.

Both Luo Feng and Boss Ma belonged to this group of people, and the reason why the price of emerald wool has been rising steadily is not unrelated to their capital injection.

According to Luo Feng, at this Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, there will be two domestic crocodile-level figures appearing.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy, these non-trade funds have entered the investment field of jadeite and jade. Compared with the financial market, investing in the stone gambling industry is more exciting, and if you are lucky, the return will be greater.

"Brother Luo, how much money have you prepared this time? When the time comes, I will also bring my younger brother to follow behind to enjoy the glory."

Wang Haoming was joking with Luo Feng while driving the car. Since Luo Feng's flight was late, it was already around five o'clock, and it was time for dinner. The fourth child arranged for a seafood restaurant in Guangzhou. Now Hao Ming directly takes Luo Feng there, and rests after eating.

"Brother, you also want to stock up? This thing is very expensive. If the market is not good, it may be thrown into your hands." Luo Feng said with a smile on his face.

"Come on, it depends on how fast you and Fatty Ma come here. There must be a profit and no compensation. If you don't want to play with my little brother, just say so."

Wang Haoming didn't take Luo Feng's example. The difference in age between the two of them was more than ten years old, so they could be regarded as old friends. Wang Haoming and Luo Feng had always spoken directly.

"Brother, are you serious? Do you really want to enter the market?"

Luo Feng became serious when he heard the words, he called Wang Haoming to participate in the stone betting conference, he wanted to show Wang Haoming the scene of betting on stones.

He didn't expect that Wang Haoming also had the idea of ​​making a fortune in the jade wool market.

In fact, Luo Feng had a high opinion of Wang Haoming. With Wang Haoming's current net worth, at best, he could only buy a few pieces of wool with better performance, and he didn't have the strength to hoard wool and wait for the price to rise.

The meaning of Wang Haoming's words was just to give Luo Feng an early vaccination. Since the funds at hand were not sufficient, Wang Haoming thought that if there was a fancy material and the funds were short, he could borrow one or two from Luo Feng. of.

But of course this cannot be said clearly.Otherwise, Luo Feng will be suspicious, how can you be so sure that you can bet on the wool you like?
Wang Haoming thought for a while, and said: "Brother Luo, I have some money on hand now, you know that, your appetite is too big, I can't get involved, but when you go to see woolen materials, you can take me with you. It’s fine to go up, firstly, I’ll see and see, and secondly, if there are cheap woolen materials that you don’t like, I’ll pick them up too.”

"Okay, no problem." For this request, he readily agreed, and he wanted to show him around, but it was nothing.

After Master Peng heard Wang Haoming's words, he sat in the back and looked at Wang Haoming a few more times. He didn't expect that Wang Haoming was also very rich at such a young age.

But in his mind, Wang Haoming was classified as some prince or rich second generation.

At the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, the woolen materials were all placed there.There is a serial number on each piece of wool, so you can bid if you like it, why do you let Luo Feng take it? Wang Haoming has hands and feet, so he can't go and see it by himself.

This is true. There are generally two ways to sell woolen materials at the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference. One is to open bids through competitive bidding. There may be many bids for a piece of woolen material, and the one with the highest price wins.

The other is the stone gambling venue organized by some merchants themselves.It is possible to cut stones on the spot, but those who enter and leave here must have a certain economic foundation or reputation, not those individual tourists can enter casually.

The meaning of Wang Haoming's above words was not that he wanted Luo Feng to take him into this stone gambling place.

With the name of the old man, Wang Haoming can go to all the obvious occasions. The reason why he let Luo Feng take him is because he wants to go to those private places that even the old man can't go to.

Most of the merchants who trade jadeite in Pingzhou have rented warehouses locally, or many of them are locals and their homes are in Pingzhou.

These people will not only take out some raw materials to invest in the stone gambling conference, but also hoard some raw materials to sell at a price. The targets of their sales are people with relatively strong financial resources like Luo Feng. They often have specific Relationship, specially take these people to the home or warehouse to see the goods.

In Pingzhou, there have always been some jadeite wool brokers (qián) brokers. Brokers are called in ancient times or before liberation. Now only a few industries still use this name. Other industries are called "qián". intermediary or broker.

Pick-ups generally do not set up their own shop numbers, they communicate between buyers and sellers, and are not responsible for the profit and loss of the transaction between the two parties.As long as the transaction is completed, a commission can be charged according to a certain percentage.

Brokers in Pingzhou have some buyers' information and familiar customers in their hands. They invite these foreign merchants to visit the wool merchants' homes to see the goods. A handsome commission.

However, with Wang Haoming's strength, he would naturally not be targeted by these jade brokers, so Luo Feng was asked to take him there.

This idea was actually given to Wang Haoming by the old master. He knew that Wang Haoming wanted to see more rough wool, so he told Wang Haoming such a place to go.

However, although the old man is highly respected, first of all, he will not be a stone gambling consultant for any business, and secondly, he doesn't bother to go to these underground stone gambling places, so naturally there will be no guests to invite him.

When eating last night, Fatty Ma insisted on spending money as a host, but he showed the intention of taking Wang Haoming to the homes of those wool merchants to see the goods.

It's just that in comparison, Wang Haoming still had a little more contact with Luo Feng, and he was noncommittal at the time, and he didn't say anything or say nothing.

After Luo Feng heard Wang Haoming's words, he also understood, and said straightforwardly: "Okay, you're not bad, you've been here for a few days, and you've even found out about this, and someone invited me to look at woolen stuff at night. Let's go after dinner and rest."

"okay!"

Wang Haoming was amused when he heard the words, the old man said that Luo Feng has connections, this result is indeed true.

Seeing Wang Haoming's happy face, Luo Feng said, "Brother, don't get too excited. I need to explain some things to you, otherwise I may offend others."

"Ah? There's another way to explain this, Brother Luo, tell me." Wang Haoming was taken aback for a moment.

"Actually, it's nothing. In such an occasion, it's definitely not my family who look at the wool. There may be some other people. There is an unwritten rule in this business, that is, when others are looking at a piece of wool, you can't ask the price first "

"I know this, we can only watch it when others are dissatisfied or put it down, right?" Wang Haoming interrupted Luo Feng when he heard about it, this rule has been taught to him long ago.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few months. You've made a lot of progress, brother, but my brother, listen to my brother, luck is the most important thing in gambling stones, so take it easy. Give me some wool to play with, don't Obsessed."

Luo Feng first teased Wang Haoming.But his face immediately became serious. He was really afraid that Wang Haoming would be impulsive and gamble all his wealth. The water for emerald betting on stones is very deep, even if hundreds of millions of bets are ruined, it is not uncommon.

After arriving at the seafood restaurant that the fourth child booked, Wang Haoming found that Fatty Ma had also come. He knew Luo Feng, but the two obviously had no friendship, so they stood there and chatted for a few words before sitting down separately.

To Wang Haoming's surprise, besides the girl named Yanzi, Fatty Ma was also accompanied by a skinny old man in his 60s and [-]s. Fatty Ma respected the old man very much in his words. Wang Haoming thought about it for a while Then I understood that this should be the stone gambling master Fatty Ma was looking for.
