my deadly lover

"What are you doing?" Lin Zihan asked.

"Record." Fang Si Shao said without raising his head.

"What's the use?"

"Very useful."

"Ci'ao..." He actually said nonsense.

Fang Sishao originally bent down to look at the stone, but when he heard the words, he got up and looked at Lin Zihan. At first he wanted to push him away, for fear that he would be bored, but after thinking about it, he was a little bit reluctant, and he was also a little baffled, as if the other party was just a vase. He feels comfortable with all the decorations around him.

Now Fang Sishao's mind is full of analysis of various stones, and he is completely unable to think about such trivial issues, so he simply put Lin Zihan aside by his own temper, and he is naturally happy if he is willing to stay with him.

This is a war without gunpowder, and not only among Chinese jadeite merchants, but also among merchants from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States. Their biggest goal is to win the raw materials first, and then resell them after speculation sold to Chinese buyers.

Since 2010, China Customs has intensified its efforts to check and seize imported rough jadeite.Although China is the largest consumer of jadeite, all jadeite raw materials rely on imports. Compared with Thailand, India, the Philippines and other countries with preferential taxation policies for importing jadeite raw materials, China's jadeite raw material import tax is as high as 33.9% (including 3% customs duty, 17% value-added tax, 10% consumption tax and 3.9% income tax).

Therefore, many woolen materials entered China through abnormal channels. If you ask any company, they will not tell you the sales volume.Therefore, as soon as China Customs strengthened its inspection, it immediately seized jadeite wool worth several billion yuan.Some of these people who run out of materials rely on loans to buy materials. Once the goods are seized, they immediately go bankrupt.

Even if the rough stones are transported through the customs normally, the risk of emerald transportation is very high.

Because the Myanmar government stipulates that the emeralds won on the public market cannot be transported back to the country by themselves, and must be transported by a local company.A jadeite merchant paid all the taxes, but the transportation company refused to go through the customs channel in order to earn the price difference. As a result, the goods were seized during the inspection, and the jadeite merchant came to him. Unexpectedly, the transportation company ran away, lost his wife and lost his army , but nothing can be done.

All of these are lessons learned from the past. Fang Sishao’s plan is actually to go directly to the mine to buy rough stones. The wool there is usually black. Although the risk is high, the price is cheap. He never planned to transport it through "normal channels". Although the risks are superimposed to increase geometrically, it all stems from the fact that he wants to "purchase", and the reason why he rushes to the stall of this public market is because it can be used as a cover.

Of course, once this move is discovered, it will not be a matter of confiscating the original stone, but a matter of directly losing his head.

According to the information released by the Myanmar government, there are 10300 pieces of jadeite wool on sale this time, which is nearly 17000% less than last year's 40 pieces, and the base price is astonishingly high.The starting price for rough stones has changed from a minimum of 2000 euros a year ago to 4000 euros.

There are more than 7000 Chinese people participating in the auction this time, as well as some Burmese locals, bidders from Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. The total number of public buyers can exceed 1. Individual points, just thinking about it, you can imagine how fierce the competition will be, and how crazy the final bidding will be.

Lin Zihan was really bored staying by the side, and he couldn't understand what Fang Sishao was up to. Anyway, Fang Sishao didn't ask him anything, so he slipped away again.

Don't say that he has an agreement with Fang Sishao now, even if he didn't, it's impossible to make a move at this time, unless he can approach Fang Sishao quietly, otherwise he wants to commit murder in a place where there are more people than emeralds?First ask the Burmese soldiers with semi-automatic submachine guns at the door if they can do it.

When Fang Sishao saw Lin Zihan leaving, he felt a little disappointed, but at this moment he was really helpless, the risk of keeping someone by his side was too great, who knows if the wolf would bite back in a fit of anger ?

Lin Zihan said he was a lunatic, but he had thought about it before he went mad. When the wolf went crazy, he often did not think about it, which made Lin Zihan's actions unpredictable, so he had to be more vigilant.

Three days is not long, and soon it will be time to bid for the hidden bid.

Many merchants from all over the world have already looked at the real objects, and have a general idea of ​​the stones they want to bid for, and then sit at several large round tables, waiting for the start of bidding like having a dinner at an annual meeting.

Ordinary people have selected the wool they need, and then evaluated its price, determined the best bidding price, and put it into the bidding box.

At this time, Lin Zihan saw a scene that stunned him. Because the bidders kept raising prices and adding more bids, the bid box was "crowded", and the staff had to hold a bamboo pole and forcefully stuff the new bid into the bid box.

But Lin Zihan found that Fang Sishao was sitting there motionless, not intending to bid at all, and asked strangely, "Why don't you bid?"

Fang Sishao smiled slightly, and was about to speak when Wu Kaidong hurried to his side and said to him, "Master, please come over."

Fang Sishao raised his mouth, nodded, got up and walked behind Wu Kaidong, Lin Zihan glanced at the middle-aged man named Fang Dongyu not far away, at this moment, with Erlang legs crossed and one hand on the table, he looked at the man gracefully. side.

Sitting next to Uncle Dong, Fang Si Shao said: "Isn't the family here to bring in the ingredients this time?"

Uncle Dian nodded with a smile and said: "Not only are they not here to buy materials, but also many high-end materials here are put in by the company, such as the Ming material with a base price of 108 million Euros, and the Ming material with a base price of 128 million Euros." Both."

Fang Sishao nodded. Although these materials are high-quality materials, they are not super-high-quality materials. Real super-quality companies will keep them for themselves. For big companies like gems, they have mines.

After preliminary screening of the mined wool, 80% of the jewelry-grade (jewelry-grade does not mean high-grade materials) are selected and sold on the public market or distributed through fixed channels, which will not be seen in the domestic market; 10% are not sure, cut and see Look, good raw materials are sold at high prices, and bad ones are thrown away on the spot; there are still 10% of jewelry-grade rough stones. Small mine owners are not sure, and they are afraid of losing money when they are cut. risk.

After analysis, if the next family thinks it is a treasure, they will cut and sell bright materials or carved pieces, open the bracelet, and if they are not sure, they will open a window to have a look; if they are not sure after opening the window, they will sell it to the second next family. The second dealer did the same thing, and the last one held a stone full of windows. He still thought he would lose money if he cut it, so he sold it to the retailer. The retailer thought the stone was not a treasure, so he put it out for the stone gamblers to see. become his next home.

If such a stone is finally found to be high-quality, then the luck of the stone gambler is no less than winning the first prize by buying a 500 million lottery ticket.

However, as Wu Kaidong said in the previous article, the speculation of jadeite rough is so strong now that even big companies like gems have begun to eat the surplus food of previous years for high-quality materials. How can they sell high-quality materials to others?

Lin Zihan didn't know why, but Fang Sishao didn't understand. He nodded and said, "Uncle Dong is going to mess up the competition this year, using these materials as bait?"

Uncle Dong smiled slightly and said, "Almost."

"What does Uncle Dong want me to do?" Fang Sishao asked directly.

"I've observed it for the past few days, right? Tell me the number of the material that you think looks good and may collapse." Uncle Dong's mouth curled up.

"Uncle Dong really trusts me." Fang Si Shao said with a modest smile.

"Come on, I don't know you kid yet. I'll help you untangle the stone you put in Kaidong. Don't worry, the material won't occupy you. I asked for half a dollar as a 'protection fee'. Then you go to the mining area at home. I have already said hello over there, I know what your kid is up to, but you can take it easy, there will be no one to fill the hole for you." Uncle Dong lowered his voice and said to Fang Sishao.

Fang Sishao nodded, "Uncle Dong who knows." Then he handed a USB drive to the other party, Uncle Dong took it with a smile, then got up and left, followed by a group of Hulala people.

Lin Zihan still didn't understand what these meant, and looked at Fang Sishao with a puzzled expression: "Why do you want to mess up this public offering?

Fang Sishao glanced at him: "I don't want foreigners to take advantage too much."

Lin Zihan was slightly taken aback, and then asked: "Then what should I do?"

"Blocking."

"Blocking?"

"Find someone to bid for the stone at a sky-high price, and then escape the bid."

"Will there be punishment for escaping bids?"

"Jade merchants who participate in the public trading must first pay a deposit of 5 euros. If they fail to pay and pick up the goods within 3 months after winning the bid, the deposit will be confiscated and their participation in the Myanmar jadeite public sale will be canceled within 3 years." qualifications."

"Is it worth it to block a bid of at least 40 yuan?"

"It's just a drop in the bucket."

Lin Zihan was silent, and Fang Sishao stopped talking. After a while, Mr. Zhu saw Fang Sishao walking over.

"Xiao Jiang, who was the person talking to you just now?" Mr. Zhu asked with a chuckle.

"Same as you." Fang Sishao looked at him with a "you understand" expression.

Mr. Zhu was slightly surprised, and then asked worriedly: "Then what stones is he looking at?"

"Don't worry, he is completely opposite to what you want." Fang Sishao smiled slightly.

"Oh, that's good, that's good, haha! Come on, Xiao Jiang, come and have a look at this stone." While talking, he pushed Fang Si Shao's back and walked towards the direction he pointed. The general's wrist was taken from the back, leaving only the pose that Fatty Zhu was asking for in front of him.

Mr. Zhu took Fang Sishao to the outside, and one of them placed a huge stone, which was covered with soil and surrounded by ropes, occasionally revealing one or two small "skylights", but nothing could be seen. It's a complete gamble with dark materials.
