Therefore, once they arrived in Yangon, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to a hotel to take a shower and change their clothes before they went to the public bidding meeting.
However, once Gu Ning entered the Yangon Hotel, she ran into an acquaintance.
It was Zhao Yuefeng.
Zhao Yuefeng was excited when he saw Gu Ning, but he wasn't surprised because he already knew that Gu Ning would come.
"Miss Gu, what a coincidence!" Zhao Yuefeng greeted Gu Ning with a smile, then his sight fell on Leng Shaoting. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leng Shaoting."
"Uncle Zhao, when did you arrive?" Gu Ning smiled at Zhao Yuefeng, while Leng Shaoting just nodded at Zhao Yuefeng.
Zhao Yuefeng was well aware of Leng Shaoting's cold personality, so he didn't mind it.
"I arrived yesterday. From the looks of it, Miss Gu, you must have just arrived!" Zhao Yuefeng said. Gu Ning was still wearing long-sleeved clothes, but most people in Yangon had changed into short-sleeved clothes, because it was very hot here.
"Yeah. I just arrived, "Gu Ning said.
"Have you booked a room yet?" Zhao Yuefeng asked with concern, because there were no rooms left. If they hadn't booked a room before, they would have to find another one.
"Yeah, I'll go back to my room to take a shower, then change my clothes," Gu Ning said.
This time, Gu Ning brought a small suitcase with her, Leng Shaoting's clothes and some cosmetics.
Because Leng Shaoting was with them, Gu Ning couldn't put them into the telepathic eye space.
"Great, I won't bother you any longer. I still have some friends to meet, so I'll leave now," Zhao Yuefeng said. Zhao Yuefeng said, and then reminded them, "You have to hurry up, so that you have more time to look at the signs!"
In fact, Zhao Yuefeng really wanted to go with Gu Ning, because Gu Ning was very good at stone gambling. He might get some advice and help from her, but he didn't want to disturb her.
In any case, the public bidding would last for three days, and they would all be at the public bidding meetings. Sooner or later, they would meet.
The public jade bid in Myanmar would be held for three days. On the first day, they would check the bids and bid. On the second day, they would announce the results of the closed bids. In the afternoon, they could open the raw stones in public. Of course, it was up to them whether they could open the raw stones or not. But once the results were out and they had paid for the raw stones, they could do whatever they wanted with them.
On the third day of the public bid, the entire day was filled with open bids. In other words, there was a live auction.
"Sure," Gu Ning said, then they separated. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to the front desk to get the key, then went back to their room.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were very fast. Within half an hour, they had taken a shower and changed their clothes. Afterwards, they left the house.
The public jade bid was in US dollars, so they could only use a Swiss bank card if they wanted to use a bank card. Although Gu Ning had a Swiss bank card, it wasn't available everywhere, so she still went to the bank to exchange a lot of US dollars.
The public jade bid wasn't located in the downtown area, but 20 kilometers away from the city. After exchanging the US dollars at the bank, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting took a taxi to the public jade bid.
They arrived in a dozen minutes.
When they walked into the gate, Gu Ning showed her invitation letter, and the other party gave Gu Ning a set of documents. The documents were written in English, including the bidding items' number, bidding type (open bid or closed bid), quantity, base price, bidding time, etc.
Although the rules stated that people could enter the public jade bid with an invitation letter, they could still enter the public jade bid as long as they paid a bribe.
The public jade bid wasn't only a large square. There were stores of raw materials on both sides of the square, and there were stalls of raw materials in the middle of the square.
The raw materials in the stores were all carefully selected, and the chances of there being jade in them were higher, so the price was slightly higher. Of course, as the saying goes, even an immortal would find it difficult to judge jade. No one knew how much jade was in those uncut stones.
The raw materials in the square weren't carefully selected, and were no different from those on the street of stone gambling, so the chances of there being jade in them were much lower.
There were three floors around the square, but only the first floor sold raw materials, while the second floor and the third floor were teahouses and restaurants. Only those who had received an invitation letter could go inside.
Opposite the public jade bid was a five-story building, which was also the auction hall of raw materials.
There were a lot of people in the public jade bid, but it wasn't crowded because the place was large and people were scattered.
However, there were a lot of raw materials in the public jade bid. It wasn't easy for ordinary people to spend a whole morning looking at the bids. It took a lot of time to look at one raw material. However, it wasn't a problem for Gu Ning. She didn't need to look at them one by one, because she could see through them at a glance.
There was no limit to the number of bids. As long as you had enough money, you could bid for all of them.
However, it was impossible for anyone to do that.
There were tens of thousands of raw materials in the public jade bid, but nobody knew whether there was jade in them. Therefore, even if someone bought all of them, he or she might not make a profit. Therefore, it was very risky, and no one was stupid enough to do that.
Gu Ning held a pen and a list, and started to look at the stalls on the ground. Because the chances of there being jade in the stores were higher, many people went to the stores. It was too crowded.
Anyway, the rule was that many people could bid for a piece of jade, and the one who offered the highest price would get it. It wasn't easy to buy it.
Because there were a lot of raw materials, not all of them were chosen. However, if Gu Ning liked a piece of jade, she could bid for it at a higher price to have a higher chance of winning.
However, no matter how high the price was, it was less than 10% of the total jade. Anyway, Gu Ning would make a profit.
Leng Shaoting followed Gu Ning quietly. Although Gu Ning ignored him, he didn't feel bored.
Gu Ning only wanted medium-high-level jade. If she bid for too many raw materials, it would be too eye-catching. Therefore, she would let Leng Shaoting bid for some of them later.
There were more white stones in the raw materials.
Among a pile of over a hundred raw materials, 10 of them had jade in them, which was a lot. Among the raw materials with jade in them, there were two top-level jade, which was a lot.
Some stalls didn't even have a top-level raw material.
After looking at five stalls, Gu Ning bid for three raw materials with medium-high-level jade, and two with top-level jade. At the sixth and seventh stalls, there was nothing that Gu Ning wanted.
When Gu Ning came to the ninth stall, she met Zhao Yuefeng. He was carefully observing the raw materials with other bosses.
"Miss Gu, nice to see you," Zhao Yuefeng greeted Gu Ning.
Gu Ning looked at the raw material in Zhao Yuefeng's hand and smiled. "It doesn't seem to have jade in it."
