"Okay, I get it, stir up the news as soon as possible." Wang Ding finished instructing Shi Shi, but did not call Zhang Bi. There is actually another question in Wang Ding's mind. He always thought that Zhang Bi sent someone to save him that day. Logically speaking, Zhang Bi should know that he was not dead. Even if Zhang Bi was afraid of what would happen later, but she asked people to release the news that she was still alive, Zhang Bi should know by now that she was not dead at all. Unless, unless Zhang Bi didn't ask anyone to protect him at all, then someone else was protecting him? Who is it? Wang Ding was really a little confused. The only people who knew that he was going to Macau were Zhang Bi and Yue Zhencang, the two managers. He did not tell others that Yue Zhencang was impossible. If not Zhang Bi, who could it be? Wang Ding racked his brains and couldn't think of who it was, so he simply stopped wasting energy thinking about it. Another important reason for not calling Zhang Bi at the moment is that Wang Ding also wants to know how much Zhang Bi loves him, and how Zhang Bi can lead the company out of this difficult situation. This is of course also a question. Qualities that a prospective general manager must possess. Although he didn't sleep well yesterday, Wang Ding got up very early the next day. After breakfast, Wang Ding, Qian Le, and Bi Yue followed Bi Jiahao and his group and walked to the entrance of the hotel. , the Myanmar organizer has a special car responsible for picking up these wool merchants from all over the world. When a group of people arrived at the door of the hotel, it was already overcrowded. There seemed to be guests in the entire hotel. Everything was gathered here, Wang Ding could see at a glance. I happened to see Qi Mingxing waving to me again. "Wang Ding." "Mr. Qi." Wang Ding greeted him with a smile. "Since we all came together, let's go to the auction together today, shall we?" Qi Mingxing said and looked at Bi Jiahao who was standing aside. "Mr. Bi, you don't want to come with us, do you?" "What's the matter?" Bi Jiahao said with a smile, "Anyway, we all know each other, and we can still take care of each other, so let's go to the public sale together. " "Okay, okay!" About twenty minutes passed. The organizing committee's bus finally drove over, but this so-called special bus was a bit shabby. They were all old buses, and most of the glass on the windows was gone, not to mention the air conditioning. This made the faces of the billionaires present not very good. Although Myanmar has a sense of service, the hardware facilities are really poor. But the situation is stronger than the people. This Burmese jadeite public sale is the weather vane of jadeite jewelry prices at all times, and only Myanmar produces jadeite in the world. If you don't get on the bus, others will be coveting it, and there will be one less competitor to compete with you. There are eight buses in total. At this time, the door of the bus is full of people, although I feel unhappy. But you still have to get on the bus. Why don¡¯t you come to Myanmar? Or is it just for traveling? When getting on the bus, there was a Myanmar soldier with weapons on his shoulders at the door. There were two other people checking the invitation letters of the people getting on the bus. According to the regulations of the Myanmar Organizing Committee, if you want to participate in the jade auction, you must have an invitation. Otherwise, I won¡¯t even be able to get on the bus. As mentioned before, the origins of invitation letters are: first, guests invited by governments at all levels in Myanmar; second, guests invited by Myanmar jewelry associations at all levels; third, invitations issued by Myanmar jewelry trading companies. In Myanmar, The so-called jewelry trading company is actually owned by the government But the latter two invitation methods must be submitted by the inviting party to the organizing committee for review and approval in the form of a guarantee. Businessmen bidding for jade wool are like It is common to get on the bus and buy a ticket. Only with the invitation letter in hand can you get a chance to board the bus. Of course, if there is no invitation letter, it is not impossible to enter the public sale, but it must be guaranteed by the Myanmar Jewelry Company and pay a deposit of 10 million kyats per person (almost equivalent to 1 million RMB) to the organizing committee. It can enter the public sale, and after the public sale ends, the full amount will be returned to the mortgagor. Each invitation letter can bring three people to the venue. Bi Jiahao got invitation letters for two stops. Qi Mingxing had an invitation letter, which was issued by the Myanmar Jewelry Association. These people are enough. Behind these buses, there are some vehicles parked. These are the vehicles of the local jade trading company in Myanmar, coming to bring their customers in. "Wang Ding, Boss Bi, let's take this car" Qi Mingxing may have found a connection. At this moment, a car came to pick him up. Although the air-conditioning effect inside was very average, it was not as good as those around it. For a bus with hot air, it's much better. After everyone got on the minibus, the minibus started moving, and did not travel with the bus behind. The venue for this public sale is located more than 50 kilometers away from Yangon City. It is exactly opposite to the hotel where Wang Ding and others stayed. It can only be reached through downtown Yangon. Yesterday, the Shwedagon Pagoda that Wang Ding and others went to was also on the edge of downtown Yangon. Sitting on a minibus, this was the first time for Wang Ding to observe the exotic scenery of Yangon so closely. Yangon looks like a huge park. Inside the city, there are plants, flowers and pagodas everywhere. Monks with bare left shoulders and red cassocks are walking barefoot on the street. Under their armpits, they all carry a Holding a brown-red oil paper umbrella, he would put his hands together and say hello to people on the street from time to time. The buildings in Yangon clearly have the style left over from the colonial era. The dark red roofs are typical British buildings. The Hindu temples are inlaid with statues of various gods and covered with moss, and the square boxes invented by modern civilization. Domes, pagodas, churches, pigeons playing in the sky. All the cars driving on the street look like they were driven from the scrapyard. Most of them are rusty. Due to the Western blockade, it is difficult for Myanmar to import cars. Many cars are from the Ne Win era, including classic cars, jeeps and Old-fashioned British-designed Indian-produced buses abound. By comparison, the taxi Wang Ding and the others took when they arrived yesterday can be considered a new car. In the urban area, there were many disheveled women on the street, carrying baskets. Bi Jiahao told Wang Ding that they were going to take a bath in the open-air bathroom. Qi Mingxing also told Wang Ding that there are women sellers on the streets in Myanmar. If Myanmar women see a Chinese, they will definitely be very willing to follow you. There are also Myanmar women who are willing to marry Chinese. explain. After the car left Yangon City, it started to accelerate. However, the car was also old and the speed was not very fast. According to the driver, it would take another hour to get to Jade Public Market. "Brother Wang Ding, why is this place where jade is traded called a public sale?" Qian Le was a little bored. He chatted with Wang Ding, Bi Jiahao and others in the car. He was surprised to hear this word, but Qian Le really I don¡¯t know the meaning of public offering. "You kid, you come here to bet on stones when you don't even know this. This public sale means that the seller announces the items to be traded in the market, allowing people in the industry or the market to evaluate the quality of the items and make a decision that is recognized in the market. The lowest transaction price, and then buyers will bid based on this price. However, the locals call the jade public sale "mcc" "Yes. The earliest jadeite auction held in Myanmar dates back to 1962. After the military took over the Myanmar government, in order to block the loss of tax revenue and use the scarce jadeite resources to create more foreign exchange income for the country, in 1964 In March of this year, a public sale of jade and jade raw materials was held. ¡± Bi Jiahao added, ¡°The valuation of raw material on the jade public market is only the lowest price negotiated by industry insiders or the market. There is no need to conduct special appraisal of the item, because there are some hidden marks that cannot be valued. Only the owner of the wool can mark the price. Regarding this, Myanmar's "Jewelry Law" stipulates that all jade and jade raw materials mined from mining areas must be brought to Yangon for classification, grading, numbering, and minimum price. Every year, jewelry from around the world is invited regularly or irregularly. Merchants go to Yangon to evaluate and bid on these woolen materials. Whoever pays the highest price can buy it. " "What do you mean by hidden mark? " "After the merchants filled in the number issued to the bidder by the organizing committee, the bidder's name, the bidding wool number and the bid price on the bidding form, they put it into the bid box marked with the wool number. We don¡¯t know the bidding items and bidding prices of each bid, so it is called a "hidden bid". One piece of wool is in one bid box, which will be very convenient when opening the bid. " "Yes, when the bid is unveiled, the winning bidder and the bid price are publicly announced according to the wool material number. In Myanmar, for each public sale of jade jade wool, more than 4/5 of the jade wool is concealed. It can be said that this is the main way of selling wool. . "What about the open bid?" "The open bid is an on-site auction. All the wool merchants gather in the trading hall. Every time the public auction staff announces a wool material number, the bidders take turns bidding on the spot. Whoever presents the highest bidding price will win the bid. " "By the way, Wang Ding, if you win the bid, you'd better pay and clear the formalities right away. The organizing committee will handle customs clearance, transportation procedures or grant sales and processing certificates for free on site. This can save a lot of things " After Bi Jiahao introduced some information about the public sale, he specifically explained to everyone what to do after winning the bid. If the winning bidder fails to pay the price of the wool on the spot, he will only sign a "Bid Winning Contract" with the organizing committee and does not need to pay any deposit, but the winning bidder must The winning bid money will be remitted to the Myanmar bank account designated by the organizing committee within 3 months, and the organizing committee will have full authority to handle customs clearance, transportation and other matters for free.??. Of course, small pieces of wool can also be taken away with you, and the certificate issued by the organizing committee can be used to clear customs. The organizing committee will create special files for the wool merchants who have won the bid, so that they can participate in the public auction again and receive preferential admission procedures, which is a bit like VIP treatment. If wool merchants evade the bid after winning the bid, the punishment will be quite severe. The organizing committee will punish them by canceling their qualifications to participate in the public auction indefinitely (for Burmese nationals) or for 10 years (for foreign nationals). Foreign merchants will Their entry qualifications will be restricted for five years.
