Chapter 397 Hundreds of Millions
Chapter 397 One Billion
There is obviously a reason why the Great Jade King has become a unique legend in the gambling stone world.
Beneath the thin layer of skin, the jade is of extremely high quality.
All you see is a full bright green color. When you shine the light on it, it looks very watery, with almost no lines or cracks. You can get a basket of full green bracelets with the highest market value.
After hearing the reply “continue” from Fan Wumian.
Several masters couldn't wait and used an angle grinder to remove the outer skin along the water channel to make it easier to check how the second cut should be made.
It took more than half an hour to rub it in total, and several pieces of sandpaper were changed. The jadeite in the waterway position slowly emerged. After splashing water and shining a light on it, it was definitely a Yang Green Glass type, with a width of about 20 cm, surrounding the entire stone.
According to a rough estimate, about 200 kilograms of glass-type high-green old pit material can be obtained.
The laymen were just watching the fun, while those who knew the business were already stunned.
In particular, the chairman of Eastern Jinyu Company has begun to consider where to get enough money, trying to hoard this batch of raw materials in his hands, and then monopolize most of the high-quality jadeite market.
The other jade jewelers present were almost driven crazy by this.
After the two leading companies in the industry discussed it, they joined hands and readily offered a price of RMB 8 million, asking Fan Wumian to directly transfer the semi-transparent material to them and not to cut any further.
The main concern is that the second knife will continue to rise and the value will soar again.
Judging from the comprehensive performance of the first cut, the fracture, the window area, and the skin, the offer of RMB 8 million has already made others feel that it has reached the limit.
Everyone present is an expert with a keen eye.
According to conservative estimates, 190 kilograms of glass-type positive green material can be produced, and the current market price is 600 to 700 million yuan. The remaining 100 million or so is the bet on the remaining parts.
The total weight of the Big Jade King is more than 1 ton, and the whole body is in display.
Except for the waterways, other places are prone to mutation. There are obviously risks if we continue to cut down.
If it were any other owner, he might have sold it on impulse.
The cost price was only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and we made a huge profit of over 7 million Hong Kong dollars. What else could we be dissatisfied with?
Fan Wumian was very clear that the value of this piece of jade was more than that, and the price of jade raw materials would continue to soar in the next few years.
With the advantage brought by the information gap, he seemed very calm when he declined the offer, and only replied that he wanted to cut it into clear materials and was not ready to sell it to the outside for the time being.
Although you are short of money in the short term, there is no need to spend it immediately.
Because these jade raw materials themselves are quite popular collateral, pledging them in a bank vault will not hinder their appreciation.
As long as the appreciation rate exceeds the loan interest rate, it will not only not delay Fan Wumian's fundraising, but he will also be able to continue to enjoy the dividends brought by the jade boom in the next few years.
Judging from the appreciation potential in the next decade or so, these high-end jade raw materials are more suitable for long-term holding than gold.
Releasing them all at once will inevitably impact the market price, making it difficult to sell them at a high price.
But if a portion of it is digested every year, there will be no risk of impacting the market, and there will be an opportunity to earn hundreds of millions more, or even tens or even hundreds of billions.
Chen Kun, Yao Xingtong and the others were no longer focused on filming; they were all busy eating melons with their necks stretched out.
When the crew heard the price of 8 million RMB, they were dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine how incredible Fan Wumian's fortune was.
At this moment.
The boss of the processing factory came up to Fan Wumian and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fan, many people outside are still waiting for news. According to our customs, should we set off some firecrackers to celebrate? Can you tell them that the price has increased?"
Fan Wumian is already rich enough, there is no need to hide it.
What's more, the sharp rise in stone prices itself is enough to become a phenomenal explosive news.
Whether it is for selling jade raw materials in batches in the future or for the "Golden Eyes" project that is about to be completed, it can be of great help and may even earn an extra 100 or 200 million.
He replied to the factory owner:
"Go ahead, don't let the reporters in to take pictures yet, and guard the gate. Ah Jing, go get me some cash before the bank closes, and I'll give you some red envelopes later."
Pu Jiajing wanted to ask him how much he wanted, but there were too many people around, and it would be easy to put Fan Wumian in a difficult position.
If she gave too little money, she would lose face. If she gave too much money, it would be unnecessary. She swallowed the words that came to her lips and said only:
"Okay, I'll contact you on the phone later. I'll look for the finance department first. I'm afraid you won't be able to withdraw too much without an appointment in advance. The bank counter usually only arranges enough money for the day."
Fan Wumian hummed, his eyes continuing to stay on the big jade king that was cut in half. The more he looked at it, the more pleasing it seemed to him.
After a long study, the team moved the larger half onto the machine, fixed it in place, and continued cutting.
The remaining half performed better, and we continued to use the angle grinder to slowly peel off the skin. After we had studied the water flow clearly, we could further break the stone.
If you draw a line and cut it crookedly, it is very likely that thirty or forty Yang Green Glass bracelets will be missing. Of course, you have to be cautious.
It was not until the work was done that the other people at the scene finally came to their senses and congratulated Fan Wumian.
A jade merchant who is one of the most powerful in the Sihui area, bowed and said with a smile:
"Today I have really opened my eyes. I have never heard of any stone more amazing than this one. I was like a madman just now. I lay on it and studied it for a long time. It is more exciting than finding an imperial green stone."
Someone else nearby smiled and said:
"Boss Zhou should borrow Mr. Fan's garden in Gangcheng and transport the stones there to grow them for three to five months. I'm afraid they will really bloom into imperial green. Sometimes, the things left by our ancestors are really admirable. Feng Shui and metaphysics really have some tricks."
"."
Fan Wumian pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, and said with a smile:
"There are many examples of people spending a few thousand yuan to cut out stones worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. In terms of yield, those stones are much higher than mine. My cost was tens of millions, and now the profit is more than ten times. It's not too exaggerated, right?"
A jeweler with a 3:7 haircut and dressed in a suit immediately replied:
"Other people make tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but Mr. Fan makes hundreds of millions all of a sudden. How can you calculate it like that? But even if the opportunity is in front of me, I still don't have the courage to take the plunge. The main reason is that Mr. Fan has more capital and is daring enough to take risks."
The words are not finished yet.
There was a crackling sound of firecrackers outside the factory, which lasted for several minutes. It was estimated that everyone in the entire Sihui city heard it.
Some people refused to give up and tried to persuade Fan Wumian to sell it.
However, as soon as the words came out, colleagues around me started to make jokes, saying that many people did not have the ability to finish them if they were sold in a whole package.
But if the clear material is cut into small pieces, those jewelers who do terminal processing and retail will still have a chance to follow Fan Wumian and drink some broth to avoid being wiped out by a few leading companies.
After watching the excitement for so long, the crew of "Golden Eyes" finally remembered that they still had to film.
Fan Wumian did not affect them. After taking the others away, he went to the restaurant and set up two tables. He asked about the details such as the public auction commission, taxes, and output.
During this period, Pu Jiajing withdrew 60 RMB, and this was indeed the only amount of money available at the local Bank of China counter.
He gave 10 yuan each to several experts who helped cut the stone, and also gave 10 yuan to the owner of the processing factory. He left tens of thousands of yuan for the factory employees and distributed the rest to everyone. Even the waiters who served food in the restaurant received a 500 yuan tip.
It is popular in the local area to cut stones that have risen in price, and then spend money to treat guests in the hope of good luck.
How much to give is entirely up to Fan Wumian, there is no hard and fast rule. He is considered quite generous to give out 60 RMB to everyone who sees it, and it is actually OK if he doesn't give a cent.
Except for the chairman of Eastern Gold Jade, Fan Wumian did not interact with anyone else at the dinner table, but the atmosphere at the table was very good.
After two glasses of wine, we talked about everything from the customs and culture of Myanmar to the local specialties.
It is unacceptable that ordinary people can win hundreds of millions by winning the lottery. I want to ask on what basis.
But for a rich man like Fan Wumian, whose wealth ranks among the top 20 in mainland China, a few hundred million RMB more in net worth is just icing on the cake. Anyway, he has already been admired by others, so it makes almost no difference.
After this meal, we went to the processing plant again in the evening.
The skin was relatively thin and the shape was convenient for working with. Several groups of workers took turns polishing the stone. It took more than two hours to remove about half of the skin of the original stone.
After several experts looked at it, they found that the price had actually increased again.
Large areas of high ice and ice-type color materials appear under the skin, and the color is still very green in many places. However, the water quality of these places is not as good as that of the water channels, and they are equally valuable on the market.
In one place, ice-type violet jadeite also appeared, which can still be sold at a high price after being made into spring-colored bracelets, pendants, and beads.
According to a rough estimate, several hundred kilograms of ice-colored pigments can be cut out, most of which are very bright in color. The total value this time is really more than 10 billion RMB.
