Bao Yifan brought Zhao Xuan to a warehouse in the suburbs of Shanghai.
As the raw jade in Mianchuan had been mined for many years, there was not much that could be imported.
However, there were always some people who could use all kinds of connections to get raw gemstones from Myanmar.
And the owner of this warehouse was such a person.
If the jewelers near Shanghai wanted jade, other than going to Myanmar, they could only get it from him.
When Bao Yifan brought Zhao Xuan to the warehouse, there were already quite a number of jewelry merchants in groups of two or three picking out raw stones.
The warehouse was very big, but it was also very empty. There were all kinds of raw jade stones of different sizes on the ground.
"Are these all raw jade stones?" Zhao Xuan followed Bao Yifan and asked curiously.
Although his Xuanhuang Group was also involved in the jewelry industry, this kind of thing was usually done by the subordinates. Therefore, Zhao Xuan had never seen a raw jade before.
"That's right. However, these raw jade stones that perform very poorly basically have a very, very small chance of producing jade! When we choose stones, we go to the warehouse inside to choose!”Bao Yifan nodded and pointed at a warehouse behind them. "Are there better raw gemstones in there?" Zhao Xuan asked curiously.
"Of course, after the raw stones are shipped back from Myanmar, they will screen them twice. The first time, they will select the best raw stones with the most hope of producing jade. Then, the warehouse owner will cut them open by his own people and sell the cut jade to people like us who need it at a high price.”Bao Yifan explained to Zhao Xuan as he walked toward the warehouse behind him.
"Then, it will be the second round of screening. On this side, they will separate the poor and good performers. These are the ones who performed poorly!”
After hearing Bao Yifan's explanation, Zhao Xuan nodded in enlightenment.
As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the warehouse at the back.
This warehouse was much smaller than the ones outside, and the raw gemstones inside were much less than those outside.
However, although the place was smaller and there were fewer raw gemstones, there were more people inside.
It couldn't be helped. Those who could come here to pick raw stones were basically people from the jewelry industry.
Of course, among these people, there were also many customers who were invited by the warehouse owner and were more interested in stone gambling.
They would often choose to cut the raw stone on the spot after buying it.
This was also the person Bao Yifan and the other jewelry merchants liked the most.
It was much cheaper to buy jade from the person who cut it out than to buy raw stones from the warehouse owner.
"CEO Bao, you're here? Should he pick a few raw stones to cut today?”Just as Bao Yifan brought Zhao Xuan to inspect the raw gemstones and explained the performance of various raw gemstones to Zhao Xuan, a fatty in his forties came to their side.
Fatty smiled and greeted Bao Yifan.
"Director Zhang, I didn't expect you to be here today. If I encounter raw gemstones that have feelings, I don't mind picking a few to play with!”Bao Yifan raised his head and smiled at Fatty.
"Hehe, Boss Xiao Bao is quite an interesting person. Other people choose raw gemstones based on their experience, but you actually choose raw gemstones based on your feelings!”The fatty that Bao Yifan called Chief Zhang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Bao Yifan's words.
His name was Zhang Ran, the owner of this warehouse. Although Zhang Ran was fat and looked honest, he was a ruthless man. It was said that when he was young, he had been wandering in Myanmar for many years and had killed more than one person.
This was also the reason why he was able to transport carts of raw gemstones to Shanghai after the ban on the export of raw gemstones was imposed in Myanmar.
"I have no choice. I want to use my experience to choose, but he doesn't allow it, right?”Bao Yifan shrugged and smiled.
Bao Yifan was a very self-aware person. He knew that he was not good at stone gambling. Therefore, although he came here often, he rarely gambled on stones.
Just as Bao Yifan and Zhang Ran were chatting idly, Zhao Xuan was observing the raw gemstone in front of him.
Just as he looked at the football-sized raw stone, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Yifan, what do you think of this raw stone?”Zhao Xuan picked up the raw gemstone and examined it for a while before suddenly asking Bao Yifan.
Bao Yifan was originally chatting with Zhang Ran when he suddenly heard Zhao Xuan's words. He could not help but turn his head to look at Zhao Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, this stone's performance is only average. You want to play?" Bao Yifan's gaze was on the raw gemstone in Zhao Xuan's hand. After sizing it up for a while, he asked with a smile.
"CEO Bao, is this your friend? Aren't you going to introduce me to Old Zhang?" At this moment, Zhang Ran also noticed Zhao Xuan beside him.
How sharp was his vision?
He recognized the set of clothes that Zhao Xuan was wearing at a glance. Then, he asked Bao Yifan with a smile.
"Oh, Chief Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Shi Zhaoxuan, a friend of mine. He has never come into contact with stone gambling before, so I brought him here to play!”Bao Yifan explained to Zhang Ran with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao? I'm Zhang Ran, the owner of this warehouse. Nice to meet you!”Zhang Ran greeted Zhao Xuan with a smile.
"Hello!" Zhao Xuan nodded. Then, he looked at the raw stone in his hand and said with a smile,"Boss Zhang, how much is this raw stone?"”
"Mr. Zhao, this raw stone isn't worth much. Since you're Boss Bao's friend, take it as a gift from me!”Zhang Ran immediately said when he heard Zhao Xuan's question.
It was just a raw gemstone. To Zhang Ran, it was nothing! Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Xuan wanted to buy this raw gemstone, he wanted to give it to Zhao Xuan.
