After successfully passing the checkpoint, they met the King of Hpakant at the foot of the mountain.
Last time, Li Du did not get a good look at this young master, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, through the car window. He was at least in his forties and liked to wear sunglasses and look expressionless. Li Du did not know if it was because it made him look more dignified.
Zhong Da Pao told him the reason. "Hmph, he learns from his grandfather and keeps a straight face. Does he think he can be like his grandfather?"
Li Du suddenly understood. It turned out that this was a small cow learning from a big cow.
When he saw them, the King of Hpakant kept a straight face. It was not until he saw Da Mao that he smiled and said, "Mr. Mao, we meet again."
Da Mao continued to pretend to be mute and said with a blank face, "Ah ba ba ba ba ba …"
The King was confused. "Mr. Mao, what's wrong with you? Is your voice bad? "
Zhong Da Pao coughed and said, "Mr. Mao is mute. Don't you know?"
The King's face changed. He said coldly, "Mute? As far as I know, Mr. Mao has a good mouth! "
Da Mao was regretful. Why was he born with a big mouth? He should have kept a low profile in the past.
The cooperation had been reached and the terms had been agreed. There was no benefit in continuing to be at loggerheads. Tulsi understood this, so he stopped the King, who wanted to ask more questions, and said, "We should go."
Huika's big stone sale was not like the public auction. This event lasted for a long time. As long as the public auction started, it would continue. At this time, it had already started.
The King had also changed to a big motorcycle. It was unknown whether he wanted to put on airs or not. He sat on a sidecar, which was a big three-wheeled motorcycle.
The sidecar looked brand new and was entirely green. As it moved along the bumpy road, the King sat in the back of the carriage, holding the handle with both hands, his face solemn.
When Li Du saw this, he could not help but think of the anti-Japanese war dramas he had watched when he was young. He remembered that in the anti-Japanese war dramas, there were always such scenes. The King looked like the Japanese.
Huika was a large field area. The jade produced occupied a large proportion of the market. The area was large and there were many people. It was much livelier than Damakan.
As usual, Zhong Da Pao introduced the stones in this area. "The materials from Huika have a special characteristic, which is that they have a wax skin. The raw stones are mainly mountain rocks. Usually, the skin is thin and there is less fog. Everyone likes it …"
The wax skin of the jadeite stone was a layer of smooth, light green skin, which was why it was called frog skin.
Most of the raw materials produced in the field would have a wax skin, but Huika was a little special. The raw stone skin here was usually a double structure. The outer layer was a light red wax skin, and the inner layer was water sand or chicken skin sand.
The Huika Field also had many field entrances, and most of them were large ones. Therefore, its layout was similar to that of Damakan. Usually, one had to go to each field to buy stones.
However, because of the stone sale, the field area would form a large trading area around the sale area at this time every year. It was similar to the living areas of other field areas, where the flow of people and business was relatively concentrated.
The trading area was just behind the entrance of the field area. It looked like a market in some towns. Some stalls were set up outside the entrance. After Li Du got out of the car, he went over to take a look. The first thing he saw was a pile of stones with waxen.
The color of the stone skin in Huika was the most chaotic. There were many kinds of stones in one stall. There was yellow sand skin, brown-gray skin, dark green skin, black sand skin, and so on.
Li Du took a quick look. The stones on the stalls were mainly grayish-green and grayish-black. There were fewer green and yellow skin. The latter two were also the easiest to produce green.
Every stone gambler knew this. Huika's green stone sold for the highest price. It was easy to produce green material. Li Du saw a stone the size of a rice cooker. It was priced at 1.4 million US dollars.
They were prepared to put Huika as the last stop for a reason. It was not only because of the stone sale, but also because there was a lot of good material and the price was high.
Seeing these stalls, the King of Hpakant pointed with his chin and said, "Start from here. There was a piece of ice here that was full of green the day before yesterday. D * mn, that old man made at least 50 million!"
There was a strong sense of command in his tone. Liu Zi was angry and turned around to scold him.
Li Du quickly grabbed his shoulder and said, "There is indeed good material here. Bring Da Mao and start looking. There are a few that I think are good."
Huika's stone had a variety of waxy skin, so it was not easy to judge the color from the appearance. However, for experienced people, it was not difficult to choose a good stone. Often, after it was cut, the color was good in all aspects.
Da Mao followed behind Li Du and said in a low voice, "Huika's material has a high starting price, and the raw stone has a high investment value. The jade that is cut here contains less impurities and less cracks. The small ones can be made into the surface of a ring or carved into a Buddha tablet. The big ones can be made into beads, bracelets, and jade carvings. The chances are high. We can do a big job. "
There were big and small raw materials produced locally, ranging from the size of a grape grain to a small hill that weighed more than ten tons.
The stalls at the entrance mainly sold cut materials, which meant that the stone had been cut, showing signs of the existence of jade or directly exposing the traces of jade.
The gambling value of such stones was not small at all. In fact, it was even greater. That was because the price was high, but what was revealed might not necessarily be jade. It could be jade surface or jade skin. As for what was inside, it had to be cut open with real knives and guns.
Da Mao squatted in front of a stall and looked carefully. Li Du found Zhong Da Pao and said, "Go to our King for money. Don't we want to make a profit of two hundred million? Ask him for fifty million first. I'm talking about RMB. "
Zhong Da Pao went over to negotiate. The King's solemn face suddenly darkened. He said, "You guys can pay for it first. You will make money in the end anyway."
Hearing this, Li Du was stunned. This guy wanted to get something for nothing? Wasn't that too good of a plan?
Zhong Da Pao did not give him a chance. He said directly, "Go to hell. If you have the money, hurry up and take it out. If not, we'll go our separate ways!"
The King laughed coldly and said, "Go our separate ways? Good thinking. I didn't expect Master Pao to be such a person. Is this the same as getting married and kicking the matchmaker out? "
Zhong Da Pao did not talk to him. He said directly to Tu Qin, "The agreement was very good. We will split the capital in half. If you guys don't pay up, then you guys are breaking the agreement. It has nothing to do with me."
Tu Qin gave the King of Hpakant a look. The King of Hpakant took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of angry eyes. Zhong Da Pao looked down on him. He had no choice but to take out a card and pass it to him. "There's forty million in there. Use this first."
After getting the money, Li Du asked the boss behind the stall, "Excluding the cut materials, how much are the remaining stones?"
The boss asked, "Not cut? Look at how good the material here is, and how bright the water is. There must be good jade hidden in it. "
Li Du said, "You can cut the hidden jade yourself. These stones, all of them, how much are they?"
The boss thought for a while and said, "Hmm, eleven million."
Li Du threw out his bank card and said, "Ten million. I'll buy them all."
