Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Then Zhao An showed her the pinhole camera that was dismantled last night, and Li Zhiyuan was furious after seeing it: "I'll take this back later, and I won't stop until I check his bottom. Fortunately, you found out, otherwise we would have broadcast live last night."

Just do what you say, Li Zhiyuan, who was furious, "packed up" things, and left in a hurry.

Zhao An shook his head with a wry smile, and left the room alone.Walking on the wide avenue, Zhao An was so annoyed by so many things from last night to today. There are three major frustrations in life: the real estate speculator became the landlord, the stock speculator became the shareholder, and the chick became the husband.

But no matter how you say this wave is not bad, although the pretty police flower looks arrogant and her force value is beyond the charts, after getting close to her, she realizes that she is a clingy little cutie.

The place where the rough stones are auctioned is in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, which is rented by Aishang Jewelry. It is a stone cutting factory. It was originally a workshop for cutting marble, and it can be used to cut rough jadeite.

When Zhao An arrived, the venue was already full of people, and the organizer specially built a stage with dozens of chairs.

The invitation was handed over at the sign-in counter, and it was Li Qiushui's cousin Chen Dong who was in charge of the sign-in.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao An found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for the auction to start.

When the time came to two o'clock sharp, when Zhao An was a little bored waiting, a tall, elegant beauty walked up to the rostrum, it was Ai Qingrou who had met Zhao An once.

Ai Qingrou walked to the front of the stage and said with a slight smile: "Everyone is welcome to participate. The rough jadeite auction held by Aishang Jewelry, today's auctions are all the top-quality old pit rough stones from the Burmese public market. material. After the transaction is completed, we can also unravel the stone on the spot, and if we unearth the top-quality jadeite, we can also use the on-site auction.”

Ai Qingrou glanced at everyone in the audience, and then said: "All the guests invited today are our distinguished guests. Here, I would like to thank Mr. Jiang from Pengcheng, and Mr. Jiang from Shencheng. Mr. Han, they are all leaders in the industry and role models in the industry, and I am deeply honored to be able to travel thousands of miles to come and guide us."

A chubby old man sitting in the front row said with a slit of eyes, "Hehe, niece Ai, I have heard that last year you secretly photographed a batch of good materials on the Burmese public market, but I haven't seen you release them yet." , I didn’t expect that this time, it was only released in Jiangcheng, and my old Han will get a few dollars back today for whatever he wants.”

The old man Jiang beside him also echoed: "That is, my store has been short of treasures from the town store. If I sell the top-quality jadeite this time, I will not let it go."

Ai Qingrou said with a shallow smile: "Two seniors, don't worry, then we will start today's auction, and first invite the first lot of today."

I saw Chen Dong pushing a trolley onto the booth, and what lay flat on the cart was the dog's head gold ore dug by Zhao An.

Ai Qingrou introduced: "There is a saying that gold has a price and jade is priceless, but this piece of gold mine rough has two horns on its head, a jade coin in its mouth, and a fierce shape. What's more, this golden brave is completely formed naturally, without any trace of artificial carving, it is a treasure bestowed by God, of course we must find the best master for it."

Mr. Jiang, who was in the audience, saw this piece of golden pixiu, and he was overjoyed and said, "Haha, this piece of golden pixiu seems to have been prepared for me by nature. Everyone knows that pixiu can only go in and out, so it's good to use it as a shopkeeper." But, niece Ai, let's start shooting, I can't wait any longer."

Ai Qingrou signaled to Chen Dong that it was time to start. Chen Dong took the auction hammer seriously and said, "The starting price of this golden Pixiu is 800 million RMB, and the price increase every time is no less than 10 RMB."

As soon as the words were finished, the old man Jiang held up the sign and said: "810 million!" He seemed a little impatient.

"900 million." The old man Han next to him suddenly added 900 million, and the old man Jiang asked angrily, "Han Qingdong, what do you mean?" They all called him by his first name, which shows how angry Jiang is.

The old man Han laughed: "There are hundreds of pieces of gold and jade in my family. Now it seems that they are full of craftsmanship and have no spirituality. This gold one is just what I want. How about it? Can Brother Jiang give up his love? .”

"No!" Old man Jiang is also a hot-tempered master, and raised his sign again: "1000 million!"

"1200 million." Old man Han was not to be outdone.

"1300 million" is a middle-aged man's offer this time.

"1350."

"1500."

The competition is extremely fierce and hot. It seems that everyone is still very optimistic about this piece of gold brave, especially old man Han and old man Jiang, who are full of gunpowder and will not give up.

In the end, this piece of gold Pixiu was won by old man Jiang with 3400 million yuan.

Zhao An, as the original owner of this golden Pixiu, sold it to Ai Qingrou at a price of 800 million. At first, he thought it was a sky-high price, but who knew that Ai Qingrou sold it for 3400 million in a blink of an eye, making a net profit in just one day. 2600 million,

Zhao An can only watch others make money, but he doesn't feel envious at all. He has such an awesome vision and extraordinary ability, but he still worries about not making money?

This is just Zhao An's lack of connections. If he has so many rich and good friends, he can just communicate and sell them, and there is no such trouble at all.

But there is no way, I am still very weak now, I should keep a low profile...

Don't make it difficult for the stones dug out after a night of hard work, and in the end only 500 yuan plus a small pennant was exchanged.

Then Zhao An is called one who wants to cry but has no tears...

In short, this piece of gold brave is worth about 800 million in Zhao An's hands.

When I came to Ai Qingrou's place, I put a layer of brave clothes on it, and it could be sold for 3400 million, that's her ability...

Or if I have this ability, maybe I can earn tens of millions from her...

Chapter 14 Green, Green

The popularity of Jin Pixiu made the atmosphere of the auction scene heated up for a while, but Ai Qingrou's face remained calm, with a faint smile, seeing that the effect had been achieved, she signaled Chen Dong to continue.

Chen Dong pressed his hands down, motioning for everyone to be quiet, and said, "Please invite us for the second lot today."

Two staff members pushed a flatbed cart onto the stage, and on the cart was a stone weighing more than 200 kilograms.Chen Dong introduced: "This is a piece of Burmese Pagan Dongshan material, which was not originally in our auction sequence, but the owner is a friend of our boss, and he is eager to sell it.

Although it is a mountain material from Xinkeng, our experts have identified that the outer skin of this original stone is white sugar-like, with obvious weathering traces, and there are dark green stripes on the white ground. It is very likely that a large piece can be produced. The best emerald. "

Although Chen Dong strongly recommends it, it is obvious that everyone is not interested.

The so-called 'Xinkeng', also called mountain materials, are emerald veins, which were formed later in the geological layer and far away from the mouth of the large mineral veins. Compared with the 'old pit' materials, most of them are coarse and loose in texture and have less water head. , the advantage is that the size is large and the output is large.

But there are no absolutes. Old pits often produce worthless 'shit land', and new pits can occasionally produce good jadeite. It is a matter of probability, but the probability is not very high. It is a test of eyesight and experience.

There were a few guests who couldn’t stand Chen Dong and highly recommended them to come on stage and watch around the “Xinkeng” materials. Some used a magnifying glass to look at the texture, some took a bright flashlight, and directly slammed on the ore to see the light transmission, and some watered it. The color changed, and in the end I didn't say it was bad, I just shook my head and said that I couldn't see it.

"Young man, you have a good eloquence." The old man Jiang said: "But our trip is all for the old pit materials that were taken back on the public market. I can’t wait for my eyes. Let’s start quickly, I guess this piece of material is just the result of a failed auction.”

It's not easy for others to say clearly.Let old man Jiang make it clear, Chen Dong couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words: "There is a saying that the world never lacks beauty, but it lacks the eyes to discover beauty. Today's Dongshan material. Whether we can find someone who is destined for him, we will wait and see."

Chen Dong knocked on the auction hammer and said: "The starting price of this Pagan Dongshan material is 50 RMB, and the price increase is no less than 1 RMB each time."

Everyone whispered and discussed, but no one bid.Compared with the popularity of the gold Pixiu auction just now, it is a heaven and a world.

Chen Dong had no choice but to ask again: "This piece of Pagan Dongshan material is very likely to be the top-quality jadeite. The starting price is 50 RMB, and each increase is no less than 1 RMB. Does anyone want to bid?"

Chen Dong who drove the ducks to the shelves.It may be the first time to host an auction and see no one interested.It seemed a bit embarrassing, if no one bid.It's about to be announced.

"51."

Just when Chen Dong was about to drop the hammer and announce that the auction had failed, an abrupt voice made people look sideways.

It was Zhao An who made the bid.

Zhao An is concerned about jade and jade.I don't know anything about it at all, and I have only heard of it in the past. There is a story about "one knife is poor, one knife is rich".

Just when this mountain material was pushed up, Zhao An inserted a real eye on the stage. Under the vision of the real eye, the introduction of this mountain material is as follows:

Pagan Dongshan material, weighing 126 kilograms, contains glass jadeite, jade core weight 15 kilograms, transparency 6.2, unprocessed estimated value 3800 million yuan.

The real eye can see directly that the inside of this piece of mountain material has a different texture from the outside. The dark green jade flesh is crystal clear. The most important thing is that it has been reminded: the unprocessed estimate is 3700 million, This is estimated to be a new function of the real eye, which increases the role of evaluation value.

Mountain materials worth 3700 million are only sold for 50. The key is that there is no competition.Seeing that the auction was about to fail, Zhao An made a decisive bid.

"51 yuan! This gentleman bid 51 RMB." Seeing that someone finally made an offer, Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief, "51 yuan, is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

Faced with Zhao An's bid, everyone remained unmoved, only thinking that he was a fool trying to learn a lesson.

"51 times!"

"Twice for 51. Last chance, is there anyone else to bid?" Chen Dong asked everyone according to the procedure, seeing that no one was interested, he had to put down the auction hammer and said:

"51 three times, a deal. Congratulations to this Mr. Zhao, who bought this piece of Burmese Pagan Dongshan material. We are here to wish Mr. Zhao the best jadeite and a wealth of wealth."

Zhao An was also very satisfied with the result, and nodded to Chen Dong.The staff came up and pushed the stone down. This rough stone belongs to Zhao An.

The next auction after the third one was all the so-called 'old pit' material, so everyone was enthusiastic and bid one after another. The transaction price ranged from more than 100 million to 5 million.

However, these "old pit" materials, under the vision of Zhao An's real eyes, are either naked and out of stock, or too little water for planting, and some of them have not much difference between the starting price and the estimated price given by the real eyes, so Zhao An No more bids.

Until the appearance of the No.20 five pieces, the introduction of the No.20 five pieces of seed material is as follows: Burmese mao seed material, weighing 21.7 kg, containing imperial green jadeite jade core, the jade core weight is 3.1 kg, The transparency of the jade core is 8.3, and the unprocessed valuation is 8300 million yuan.

The appearance of this seed material looks compact, the color is off-white with a bit of milky white, and its shape is like a cloud that has been squeezed and collided.

It seems that the guests present are all connoisseurs of goods. As soon as this piece of seed material came on stage, it attracted everyone's attention. Some whispered in the audience, and some excitedly stood up and praised. Qingrou is obviously very satisfied with the effect,

She opened her jade teeth lightly: "Guests, this is our last auction today, and it was also brought back from the secret auction in Myanmar last December. It is the most exquisite rough jadeite. I hope it can be recognized by everyone."

Chen Dong went on to say: "Okay everyone, this is the last auction item for today. For the guests who have not been photographed, you must seize the opportunity and don't return empty-handed."

Old man Jiang stood up, rubbed his hands together and said, "Hurry up, I can't wait."

Chen Dong said with a chuckle, "The last item in the auction today is the Burmese Burmese seed material. The top-quality material returned from the public auction has a starting price of 1000 million RMB, and each increase in price should not be less than 10 RMB."

"1500 million." This time, the old man Han took the lead to raise the placard, and he added 500 million in one go. This way of increasing the price made all the guests in the audience gasp. I have seen such a cruel one. rarely seen.

"1600 million." The old man Jiang was not to be outdone.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress the other party, old man Han chuckled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you have already photographed the golden Pixiu in the town store. Why don't you just give this piece of seed material to me, a bad old man."

Old man Jiang also laughed and said, "Who would have too much of a good thing? If you want it, you have to bid."

Seeing that the psychological warfare didn't work, old man Han had no choice but to quote: "1800 million."

"2500 million." Old man Jiang also made a ruthless offer, and the choked old man Han couldn't speak for a while, his neck turned red.It took a long time to report another quotation of '2550 million'.

Seeing how fierce the competition was, Zhao An gradually lost his desire to participate. Besides, he didn't have that much capital to participate in the competition. Thinking about it, it's suitable for him to make a small fortune.

When the quotation gradually increased, some guests who originally wanted to make a quotation also died down. In the end, only old man Han and old man Jiang were left to participate in the final competition.

"3500 million." Perhaps the old man Han, who was forced to win, said with a flushed face, "3500 million, this is my final bottom line, Lao Jiang, if you pay an extra dollar, this piece of material will be Yours."

Old man Jiang hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "Forget it, Old Han, we have been friends for decades, so I will give you this piece of material." Old man Han's flushed face relaxed a little this time, He let out a long breath and said, "Then thank Brother Jiang for your kind hand."

Seeing that the fighting had come to an end, Chen Dong said, "3500 million, Mr. Han bid 3500 million, is there anyone else who can offer a higher price?"

"3500 million once."

"3500 million twice."

"3500 million three times, a deal!" Chen Dong dropped the auction hammer heavily: "Congratulations, Mr. Han, for bidding on this piece of Burmese mackerel."

Seeing that the deal was concluded, old man Han heaved a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere finally eased.

As the organizer, Ai Qingrou walked to the middle of the stage, clapped her hands and said: "Today's auction is a complete success, thank you for your strong support, and the guests who have photographed rough stones can interpret the stones on the spot. Our company is on the spot, including After installing 6 large cutting machines, the master worker will fully cooperate with you,

Of course, you can also take it home and solve it yourself.As the executive director of Aishang Jewelry, on behalf of Aishang Jewelry, I prepare a banquet at the 'Jiangcheng Hotel', and prepare a little wine to thank you for your presence and support. "

Then the machine started, and the customers who bought the seed materials asked the cutting master to help them untangle the stone. From time to time, the sound of green, green, green or collapse, collapse, oh, the sound of cutting and collapse was heard in the roaring sound of the machine. .

The old man Han put the seed material he had photographed in a 'Land Rover' car, saying that he would take it home and solve it by himself.It is probably because they are afraid that if everything collapses, old man Jiang will be ridiculed.

Zhao An didn't hurry up, and waited for everyone to finish a round of cutting before pushing the trolley and carrying the Pagan Dongshan materials he had photographed to the No. 1 cutting machine.

The master worker used a crane to hoist Zhao An’s rough stone onto the operating table, and asked Zhao An how he wanted to cut it. Zhao An picked up the chalk and drew a line on the rough stone according to the vision of his real eyes. The seemingly random line was just right. Open a window for the original stone.

The machine roared, and the fast-rotating wide saw blade saw the rough stone, and it was successfully sawed in less than 3 minutes.

As the saw blade rises, the outer skin falls off, and a beautiful green color appears in front of everyone.

"It's green, it's green, it's green."

"It's gone up, the bet has gone up, it's gone up!"

The crowd who were waiting to see the joke exclaimed.

"Damn it, it's glass. This kind of water is so clear and translucent, it's amazing." Old man Han came over to watch when he heard the exclamation of the crowd, and couldn't help being amazed when he saw the rough stone that Zhao An had cut open.

In fact, Zhao An is really greedy for the seeds he took. Now it seems that apart from Ai Qingrou as the organizer, old man Han is the biggest winner today.

Take that piece of seed material back, and if you untie it, you can earn more than 5000 million yuan, which is much better than Zhao An's material. If there are not a few tiny cracks in the middle, the price may have to double.

Of course, Zhao An's rough stone is superior in its high cost performance, the auctioned price is very low, and the yield is super high.

This is the real wonderful thing about gambling stones. With a small fortune, using hundreds of thousands of funds to leverage tens of millions of wealth, it is especially suitable for Zhao An, a gambler who has just entered the industry and has little knowledge.

Meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and money has to be earned stroke by stroke.

Chapter 15 Financial Freedom at Last

The old man Han looked at the original stone with a window open, and couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "Young man, such a large area of ​​green is rare, so I will show you this side of green, and I will give you this number." Hold out three fingers.

300 million!

It only opened a window, which is a full 6 times higher than the price Zhao An bought for this rough stone.It can be seen that old man Han's strength is still acceptable.

Zhao An knew it well in his heart, when the rough stone was completely cut, it would be more than a mere 300 million.Am I short of the 300 million people?

Before Zhao An could refuse, old man Jiang came over, and with a bright flashlight, he pointed at the open window of Zhao An's original stone, took photos back and forth, then turned to old man Han and said mockingly:

"Fortunately, you are still an old Jianghu. Such a good glass species, the water head is still so full, and the flesh color is also very good. It is only 300 million, and you are sending beggars."

When he turned his head to face Zhao An, he tried to put on a friendly smile again: "Young man, there is a so-called saying 'one knife is poor, one knife is rich', and there is also a particular emphasis on 'one thought of heaven, one thought of hell'. Well, it may not be necessary to cut it again. In this way, I will not say 300 million, I will double it for you, and you will sell 600 million to my old man. In this way, you will make a net profit of more than 500 million, and I will bear the risk. "

Zhao An kept complaining in his heart: You two are a bad old man, you are really bad.If I don't have the vision of my real eyes, I can see clearly, maybe I really bluffed you.

But life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.Zhao An pretended to be stupefied, blushed as much as possible, and said in a bluff, "I won't sell it. Today I have to cut all this material. If you win, you have to win, and if you lose, you have to lose." Delight!"

As he spoke, he commanded the master worker, and with his real vision, he deliberately drew a line on the part that did not pass through the jade core, so that they would think it was broken.
