Zhou Hai took the raw material and quickly came to Yang Qi.
"Yang Qi, how about this raw material?" Zhou Hai asked with some anticipation.
Zhou Hai looked at this piece of rough material several times and thought that he would not make a mistake this time. Although his gambling stone skills were not high, he was following Shen Yuxuan after all. He knew the general methods of distinguishing gambling stones through osmosis.
"I'm not very optimistic about this piece of raw material." Yang Qi shook his head slightly.
“Ah~”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hai's face was suddenly filled with disappointment. He still admired Yang Qi's stone gambling skills very much. Now even Yang Qi was not optimistic about the rough material he had selected. He was afraid that this rough material would not yield any reward.
Seeing Zhou Hai's disappointed look, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After spending some time with Zhou Hai, he still admired Zhou Hai and others very much. These bodyguards are almost all veterans. They learned their skills in the military, not like Yang Qi who absorbed the energy of heaven and earth to practice. Especially the death of A Biao made Yang Qi realize that Zhou Hai and others were in danger of life at any time. Now coming to the Burmese public auction, there is also a lot of danger. Yang Qi also wanted Zhou Hai and others to gain more. Instead of the fixed salary of bodyguards.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi no longer hesitated, and quickly walked to the piece of raw material containing vitality, picked out the raw material, and said with a smile, "I think this piece of raw material is good, you can try it."
"This piece..." Zhou Hai looked at the rough material in Yang Qi's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, this piece, if it goes up in price, we'll each take half, and if it goes down, it's mine."
"That doesn't have to be..."
"No, the master of gambling on stones has his own rules. It's already good enough that you can help me with advice." Yang Qi was about to refuse, but Zhou Hai on the side said hurriedly.
"Okay then." Yang Qi heard this and no longer refused.
In fact, there are many rules in the gambling stone industry. A gambling stone master will not make a move easily. Even if he becomes a gambling stone consultant of a company, he will also receive dividends, and regardless of whether the price rises or falls, he will also receive a fixed salary every month. In fact, gambling stone consultants do not need to make a move to gamble stones very often in a year. They will mostly appear on behalf of jade companies at some rough material exhibitions. As for other times, they don't even need to appear in the company. This shows the importance and uniqueness of gambling stone masters to a jade jewelry company. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Hai cannot let Yang Qi help him with his advice in vain.
Following the chalk line drawn by Yang Qi, in less than half an hour, a glutinous jadeite appeared in front of the two people. It was not too big, only the size of a fist, and was worth about three or four hundred thousand.
"It has increased, it has increased." Zhou Hai said excitedly.
He had gambled on jades quite a few times, but since he had almost never won jadeite, Zhou Hai rarely gambled on jadeite and only played with it occasionally. After all, he was just an ordinary bodyguard. Although his salary was not low, it was not enough for a luxury item like jadeite.
"Brother Zhou, just sell this jade to me. How about 200,000?" Yang Qi said directly.
This piece of jade is worth about 350,000 or 360,000 yuan. According to the previous discussion with Zhou Hai, we each get half, so the price of 200,000 yuan is already a high price.
"Of course no problem. I'll treat you at noon." Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Hai said directly.
Because of the time difference and the plane problem, Shen Yuxuan and others are still resting, but Zhou Hai and others, as bodyguards, naturally will not rest easily. And Yang Qi himself is a martial artist, so he doesn't mind taking less rest time.
"Okay." Yang Qi nodded, and immediately went to the bank to transfer 200,000 yuan to Zhou Hai's account.
Winning two pieces of glutinous rice at once was not uncommon before the opening of the Myanmar public auction, and it did not attract anyone's attention. The two men went directly to a restaurant.
"I can't understand these things, so you do it." Looking at the menu, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although there was Chinese on it, there were many things he didn't understand and had never heard of.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai did not hesitate and ordered quite a few dishes. He did not put down the menu until Yang Qilian said enough.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, how is Aaron's health recovering now?" Yang Qi asked.
A Long was one of the two bodyguards who followed Shen Yuxuan in the Antique Street. Among them, A Biao died directly in the car accident, and A Long was seriously injured. However, more than a month has passed now, and A Long's injuries should be almost healed.
"Aarong's injuries are almost healed, but he still has some injuries and needs to rest for a while, so he didn't come this time." Zhou Hai sighed when he heard this.
A Long was relatively lucky, but A Biao died directly. Although Shen Yuxuan gave a lot of pension, A Biao was less than 30 years old, with elderly parents and children to take care of. Without him, the family was almost finished.
"Ah Long is lucky. Ah Biao..." Zhou Hai sighed and continued, "In fact, Mr. Shen treats us well. Our salary is about 10% higher than that of ordinary bodyguards of the same type. In addition, we get a subsidy of 10,000 yuan a day when we go abroad, and 5,000 yuan in China, which is already considered a high salary."
The Myanmar Public Auction is the most important event for jade jewellers. No matter which jewellery company it is, they will definitely go all out.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's have a drink." Zhou Hai poured the wine and spoke immediately.
After lunch, the two returned to the hotel. It was not until the evening that Shen Yuxuan called Yang Qi to attend a meeting. When he arrived at the meeting room, Huang Shi and others were already waiting.
"This is the information about this public auction. Our main target is these openly and secretly bid gambling stones, as well as the highest bidder." Shen Yuxuan handed Yang Qi a piece of information and said.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. Even if Shen's Jewelry sold all the rough materials in the Myanmar public auction, it would be impossible to buy them all. Even if the rough materials were marked openly or secretly, Shen's Jewelry could not buy all of them. With so many rough materials, they had to be selected according to their priorities. Otherwise, after a public auction, it might be impossible to get anything.
"According to the information we have received, we have the best chance of becoming the highest bidder in this public auction. We are betting two and a half dollars on the rough materials. They are all from old mines and the green ones are all good. The reserve prices are 16.8 million and 18.8 million respectively." Shen Yuxuan said in a deep voice.
The reserve prices of these two pieces of raw material alone are over 15 million, which is extremely rare in previous public auctions. The final transaction price may be around 40 million, or even higher.
You should know that the working capital of a general jewelry company is only 10% or 20% of its market value. This is because jewelry companies are special. Many companies have less than 10% of their working capital. To win a bid of 40 to 50 million yuan, you need to have such a large amount of working capital. Only companies with a value of more than 500 million yuan have a chance to compete. (To be continued)
