These people are jade appraisers and executives from major jewelry companies. Some of them even call themselves "Jade Kings". Anyway, they just brag about it. If they make a lot of money, some people will know about it, but if they make a lot of money, no one will know about it.
It's like when you make money on the stock market, everyone shouts about it, as if everyone knows about it. But when you lose money on the stock market, everyone keeps quiet and pretends they didn't lose anything.
Xie Guoqiang of Yizuan Jewelry is a legendary "Jade King" and is well-known in the industry.
Every time there is a public auction in Myanmar, Yi Zuan Jewelry will send Xie Guoqiang to take charge in person. This is because his level is there. He almost always wins more than he loses when gambling on stones, and is recognized as a "master" by his peers.
Today, the master's hand holding the strong flashlight was shaking, and he kept muttering to himself: "Baby, it's really a baby, a big baby I have never seen before."
Wang Hualiang from Henghe Jewelry was even more exaggerated. He lay flat on top of the raw stone, with his face almost touching one of the polished windows. The green color under the strong flashlight made him grit his teeth.
I was so upset. How come I had never come across such a treasure in Myanmar? Henghe Jewelry invested so much money every year, but it was all wasted.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen from the several exposed windows in the original stone that no matter from which angle, when a strong flashlight is shone in, it is all green. The quality of the water is already at the ice level.
With this quality, if the whole huge stone is cut open and it is confirmed that it is all such high-quality ice jadeite, my goodness, that would be incredible, the price will increase dramatically.
You have to know that this is a raw stone weighing more than 10 tons. Even if it is only half jade, it is worth at least more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
So the question is, who is the financial backer behind Caiyunzhinan?
Being able to transport such a large piece of raw stone from the remote place of Myanmar Store is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
To pass through the territories of different warlords, big and small, without being intercepted, this requires extraordinary strength. Even the Central Army of Myanmar may not be able to do it.
The warlords in northern Myanmar are not the same as them. The two sides fight to the death every year, and they are just about to beat their brains out. Will they let you transport the goods safely?
Everyone knew Chen Shuqin. She was originally just a store manager at Zhou Jewelry. Even if she had strong personal abilities, what good would that do? At most, she was a mid-level manager in the company. How could she have such strength?
So everyone has been whispering to each other, and has been guessing who the financial backer behind Caiyunzhinan is, but one thing is certain, this person must be a "great god" who is not someone that ordinary people can afford to offend.
Even Mr. Zheng Xiangyi, the vice president of Zhou Jewelry, sighed to Chen Shuqin:
"Shuqin, this is truly remarkable! This jadeite stone is truly precious. Zhou Jewelry is willing to raise the price by 50% to 150 million yuan. What do you think?"
Wang Hualiang from Henghe Jewelry snorted softly, "150 million? If the price really goes up, it's probably going to be more than 1.5 billion. So, Henghe is willing to offer 200 million. What do you think, Manager Chen?"
Before Chen Shuqin could answer, Shen Chengliang, the general manager of Yizuan Jewelry, hurriedly shouted, "We'll offer 300 million. What do you think, Shuqin?"
The crowd who were watching the rough stone gasped in shock. 300 million Hong Kong dollars, that's nearly 40 million US dollars. How many properties can you buy in Hong Kong with so much money?
Caiyunzhinan is about to make a lot of money before it even opens for business. How many people are envious of it now?
Chen Shuqin quickly shook her head and said humbly:
"Shen Sheng, Wang Sheng, Uncle Zheng, please don't make things difficult for me. This rough stone is the treasure of our store. We went through so much trouble to transport it from our store in Myanmar in the south of Caiyun. I can't bear to sell it."
When Zheng Xiangyi and the others heard this, they couldn't help but sigh. Come to think of it, how could someone with real vision sell it so easily?
But they didn't dare to ask for a higher price. If they cut it open, they would find a solid bullet inside and only a layer of jadeite from the bay window outside. If they spent hundreds of millions of dollars, the company would be seriously injured.
The next day, the news that the king of jadeite rough stone in the south of Yunnan was not sold even though the price was 300 million yuan, once again appeared on the news pages of major newspapers. This time it was no longer a soft article, but it really aroused the interest of reporters.
In Hong Kong, where dog-eat-dog fights can make the news for three days, the news that a jadeite rough stone worth 300 million yuan appeared in a jewelry store is undoubtedly explosive.
Caiyunzhinan made headlines thanks to this wave of hype, but also saved at least several million in advertising fees.
As more and more media people and colleagues came to witness the "King of Raw Stone" with their own eyes, the reputation of the South of Colorful Clouds spread wider and wider, and it has almost spread to the wealthy circles in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong dollar was still very valuable in 1983. It is estimated that half of the listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange did not have assets of 300 million.
Chen Shuqin struck while the iron was hot and immediately sent out invitations to some wealthy ladies.
This invitation is extraordinary. Every page is filled with exquisite color photos. All the photos are of the top-quality jade jewelry from "South of the Colorful Clouds", and all the jades are of glass-type emerald grade.
Chen Shuqin is also determined to make a big hit and establish a high-end brand image in the industry.
Now, many rich ladies are waiting for this top-grade jadeite that is rarely seen in normal times.
This time, Caiyunzhinan launched 5 glass-type emerald bracelets alone, which is rare even in Hong Kong. You should know that Zhou Jewelry once held an auction specifically for a glass-type emerald jade bracelet.
This also proves the preciousness of this jade bracelet. Of course, it is also possible that the jewelry store is just making a mystery and hyping it up.
Other jewelry includes some exquisite necklaces, bracelets, brooches, rings, etc., all of which reflect luxury and high-end nature.
This is a huge deal. Even the largest jewelry companies in Hong Kong cannot launch so many top-quality jadeite at one time.
What's more, this time it's not just green jade, there are also other jades such as red jade, yellow jade, purple jade, etc.
Once the invitations were released, these ladies stopped pretending to be reserved and all showed up at the tasting, each with a checkbook in their handbags.
Chen Shuqin arranged all the security, and all the sales staff were on duty in advance. She also placed a lot of high-end snacks, tea, etc. on the second floor, and played Chinese classical music, which really made the place look classy.
The ladies were completely out of control today. The light from those clear green bracelets and those dazzling necklaces under the light pierced their vanity.
At that moment, I had only one thought: Oh my god, it's all oh my god. (Wait, this tastes wrong, it tastes like the Loess Plateau.)
