Pixiu Rearing Guide

A Cayenne stopped at the entrance of Beiyang International Auction House. Du Ziyu pulled down the window, and a short-haired woman in a cheongsam stood at the door.

"My second sister is quick enough." Du Ziyu took a file bag from the third sister, which contained all the documents that a normal Chinese citizen can use, such as ID card, passport, Hong Kong and Macau travel permit, and he took out his ID card. Watching it over and over again, I can't tell it's fake at all.

"It's all real stuff, don't study it, I registered him with a missing person's quota, and then changed his name to get it out." The third sister also sighed: "This is the end of this matter, let you Sister, save yourself some snacks!" As she spoke, she patted Du Ziyu's shoulder.

In fact, when the second sister of the Du family gave him this file bag, she mentioned Shen Shi's identity in Myanmar, and said that she checked the household registration system through her relationship, but she couldn't find anyone.Although this kind of black family situation can be found in any country, but my younger brother is surrounded by people of unknown origin, so the older sister will definitely be worried.The third sister sighed secretly, she only hoped that Du Ziyu's heart was not in vain, and that he would not be deceived casually.

Looking away from the man in the back seat, the third sister of the Du family took out a card: "Go to Hong Kong, do you have enough money?"

"Come on! Take it easy." Du Ziyu smiled and waved his hand: "If I really find a good treasure, I will find you to raise funds as soon as possible." As he said, he started the car: "Famous bags, famous watches, cosmetics, you can bring whatever you want at any time." WeChat me." Du Ziyu blinked, kicked the accelerator and walked away.

The third sister of the Du family watched the car drive away, and sent a message to Li Wu: Honey, do you know that my younger brother has a new boyfriend?Take care of me.

The spring auction of Christie’s auction house in Hong Kong lasts for a week every year in May, and there is a one-week preview period before the official opening for buyers to appreciate their favorite auctions in advance.Li Wu did not participate in the auction, but only went to feast his eyes on the preview, and there are many Tibetan friends like them.

"This time there is a gambling stone in the auction at the Jade Pavilion." On the way to the auction house, Li Wu deliberately took out his mobile phone to show Du Ziyu the photo: "It's her, look at the green in this window, how beautiful it is!"

According to different gambling methods, the price and risk of gambling stones are different. This kind of window opening is called "half gambling stone", which allows buyers to see part of the jade texture. There is no reduction - this rough stone only has a skylight, if the second knife goes down and there is no color, then the price will be halved immediately, which is commonly known as gambling loss.

Du and Li went to the jade exhibition area first when they entered the exhibition hall. The one-foot-high rough stone was displayed in a glass showcase in the center. It was very eye-catching and estimated at 300-800 million Hong Kong dollars.Under the light, the surface of the rough stone is very delicate, showing a light yellow color, with flaky black spots on it, and the part of the upper left corner where the surface has been worn off is a watery green.

"This kind of big material..." Du Ziyu squinted his eyes to distinguish the color and skin thickness of the stone surface: "It is the big surface of Laochangkou, which is very similar to the Pagan field." Analyzing gambling stones is a very complicated task. To work, we must first determine the unearthed mine according to the characteristics of the surface, and then judge the probability that this rough stone contains good materials according to the characteristics of jadeite produced in different mining areas. The patterns and spots can be used to infer whether there are impurities, white flocs, cracks, etc. in the jade inside... The real gambling depends on more than just luck.

"Pagan is a mining area that produces high-quality goods. If it is really a stone from Pagan, this piece is priceless!" Li Wu felt a little itchy, and motioned to the staff to help him open the cabinet, and he wanted to take a look at the color inside.

"I'm not sure if it's priceless or not, but the master who opened the skylight really has sinister intentions." The glass cover was opened, and Du Ziyu reached out to touch the surface of the rough stone. Buy this piece of window with a green belt, and don’t buy this piece of green.”

"Little brother, you have good eyesight!" As soon as the words finished, there were people cheering behind him, Du Ziyu turned around, and saw a fat man with a bald head walking towards him, with a positive green emerald Guanyin hanging around his neck.

"I'd rather buy a thread than a piece. The color of the thread is heavy, and the color of the piece is thin. This green, if it is a thread, it will definitely go from the beginning to the end, but this kind of green is just a thin layer on the surface." The bald man smiled. Stepping forward, Li Wuzheng took a bright flashlight to shine on the stone skin, and the green light was revealed under the fluorescent light. His bald head narrowed his eyes, and he clicked his mouth: "But this stone... is tangled!" Du Ziyu, Li Wu, and Shen Shi looked back and forth, as if they were estimating who would be the buyer. At this moment, Shen Shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward, reached out and touched the stone, with a subtle expression on his face.

"Shen Shi?" Du Ziyu looked at him in surprise, and saw him leaning down, sniffing the tip of his nose on the stone surface, then straightened up, looked around the exhibition hall, hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand down again. Go back to the stone and stroke it with nostalgia.

"This little brother also wants to make a move?" the bald head said with a smile.

Shen Shi glanced at him, but said to Du Ziyu, "Good stuff."

"You know again?" Du Ziyu laughed, and asked Li Wu for a bright flashlight to examine the fineness of the stone. When the yellow light hit the green window, Du Ziyu suddenly noticed a piece of dead gray in the green background, and he was stunned. Stunned, he turned his head and looked at Shen Shi questioningly: "Good thing?"

Although he was asking about Shen Shi, Du Ziyu's mind had already reacted in a flash. If you just use a strong flashlight to hit the window, you can easily find that the green is not transparent. It may be just a floating color. Why can this thing come in? Christie's estimated a high price of 300-800 million?

Du Ziyu couldn't help but think of that time at the Ruili Stone Factory. Could it be that... his eyes were opened again?Taking a breath, he switched to white light to look at Shipizi again, but it doesn't matter if you don't take a photo, this photo... the whole body is green and green!

Just when Du Ziyu was surprised, the bald head suddenly took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Guys, can you take a step to talk?"

The bald head led Du Ziyu and the others out of the exhibition hall. There was a black Bentley in the parking lot at the entrance. The bald head walked over, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a cigar in his mouth.

"I'm straight to the point, so let's talk about it!" The bald head pointed to the man in front of the Bentley: "This is Boss Zhao, a Hong Kong native, who is in the collection business. We are just like you, and we have taken a fancy to that A rubble."

Du Ziyu and Li Wu looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and waited for him to continue.

"As you have seen just now, the minimum price in the museum is 3 million. According to our experience, the base price is between 1-2 million." , we will make a gentleman's agreement. On the day of the auction, no one should bid, and wait for the auction to fail."

The so-called unsold auction means that when no one bids for the lot, the auction house has to sell it at the reserve price after the meeting.In this case, not only did the price not increase, but the auction house's commission was also reduced.

"After buying the stone, we will share the profit." Bald head added immediately.

Du Ziyu looked at the two men opposite, with a smile on his lips. The third sister is in the auction business. Although it is far from the scale of Christie's, the methods here are similar. The mode of collusion between these two people is called "bidding rigging" in the industry. To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of loopholes, which is a kind of shameless "leakage" behavior by people in the industry.

What about a gentleman's agreement...

The corner of Du Ziyu's mouth twitched: "I accept it with good intentions, we are not optimistic about that gambling stone, so we won't buy it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Li Wu followed a few steps, and rolled his eyes: "These two are really sinister! "

"What date is the hammer on?" Du Ziyu asked suddenly.

"The day after tomorrow..." After Li Wu finished speaking, he was suddenly taken aback: "Young Master Du, what do you mean?"

"Good thing." Du Ziyu smiled, turned to look at Shen Shi, who nodded: "Good thing."

"Good stuff, we want it!"

On the day of the jade auction, the venue was crowded with people. Li Wu followed Du Ziyu and sat in the middle and back, holding the list of items and looking down one by one. When he saw the rough stone with a starting price of 300 million, his palms were a little sweaty. 300 million is not a small amount, it's not that the Du family doesn't have this little spare money, it's just that if they lose the bet, the price of the betting stone will be half as soon as it falls!

"Young Master Du, you should think about it!" Li Wu worriedly told Du Ziyu, then glanced at Shen Shi again, and suddenly remembered the message sent by Du Ziyu's third sister before he left, to guard against Shen Shi...

"What kind of bedside talk did this kid give you? You've spent a lot of money, right? Young Master Du!" Li Wu leaned close to Du Ziyu's ear and kept muttering.

"Li Wu, look at this." Du Ziyu didn't answer him directly, but just handed over the phone. On the screen was the photo of the bald man from yesterday, with his personal information underneath.

"Director of Myitkyina Jewelry Co., Ltd." Li Wu frowned: "He is the Burmese Chinese who made his fortune by betting on stones? The king of betting on stones?"

Myitkyina is the name of a place in Myanmar, and it is the largest mining area producing jadeite in Myanmar. The so-called stone gambling king was famous when he gambled [-] million yuan for a three-kilogram rough stone when the Myanmar jadeite was opened. Later, he came to China to do jewelry wholesale business. After setting up this Myitkyina jewelry company, it was once very successful.

Du Ziyu took back his mobile phone, tapped it a few times, and found a screenshot, which was a text message from Christie's London spring auction in 09. That Hong Kong person bought an imperial green diamond ring back then.

"This is the last time I saw the news of this Hong Kong person at an auction with a high price." Du Ziyu explained: "From 11 to 16, this person seemed to disappear suddenly, and [-]% of them tasted 'leakage' sweetness."

"What do you think of that stone?" Du Ziyu suddenly changed the topic, Li Wu thought about it seriously, and nodded, Du Ziyu also nodded: "I think it's good too, but our experience is too inexperienced. If these two people also look at it If you look away, then... I can only admit it."

"If they really like that stone, you can't guarantee that they won't snatch it if you ask for a higher price." Li Wu reminded.

"Of course I will grab it." Du Ziyu was very calm: "But Li Wu, think about it, they have been picking up leaks for six years, how much higher can the psychological price be than the reserve price?"

"But how much is this stone worth?"

"I have a hunch that she is very valuable." Du Ziyu came to the conclusion firmly.

"Premonition?!" Li Wu stared: "Young Master Du, I heard right! You said premonition?"

"It's just a hunch." Du Ziyu was not surprised by Li Wu's question, but he chose to look back calmly and answer him these words repeatedly.

In the display cabinet, the beautiful green luster of the stone under the strong white light emerged in his mind.

"This stone will definitely go up." Du Ziyu said firmly.
