"Ruilong Hotel?"
Tang Songyuan repeated the place name and asked puzzledly: "What kind of place is this?"
Even if you want to book a room, it's not good to go so early in the morning, and Li Yangqiu is still coming with you.
Qiu Yingxue's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "You are gambling on stones, don't you know Ruilong Hotel?"
"Didn't your master take you there?"
Tang Songyuan said calmly: "I really don't know. Is there anything strange about this place?"
Qiu Yingxue shook her head and explained to him.
It turns out that the so-called Ruilong Hotel is actually a type of stone gambling agency.
As early as the 1970s and 1980s, there were not many people playing stone gambling at that time. At that time, Myanmar was still fighting in the country and there were no fixed trade ports in the country.
After the reopening, Ruili once again became the most active area in western border trade.
At that time, there was no established jewelry market in Ruili, and jade was mostly stored in a few local hotels. At that time, you had to go through a middleman to see the goods. Only with the guidance of the middleman could you have the opportunity to see jadeite wool.
Later, Jiegao Port became a "border trade special zone" that enjoyed tariff-free and other preferential treatment, and hotel stone gambling gradually declined.
It cannot be said to be declining, but the scale is much smaller than that of several major markets.
But Ruilong Hotel has miraculously continued, and sometimes a lot of head covering materials outside the rules appear.
As for the so-called gambling on stones outside the rules, the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties also knew something about it.
To put it bluntly, mine owners use means to label gambling stones that should be Class A as Class C or Class D, and then flow into the country through channels.
Because gambling stones at the AB level need to be officially controlled by Myanmar, and then cut into pieces and put on the public market.
After understanding this, Tang Songyuan suddenly said: "It turns out this is a place like this. Since Mr. Qiu wants to go, I will go with you."
Qiu Yingxue put on a bag, stood up and said, "Then let's go now!"
The three of them came out of the e-commerce industrial park. Li Yangqiu drove Tang Songyuan in a pickup truck, while Qiu Yingxue drove a pure electric BYD Tang.
Ruilong Hotel is located not far from Daqingshu, the former landmark of Ruili. The signboard looks a bit old, and it has obviously been baptized by many winds and rains.
After parking the car, Qiu Yingxue took Tang and Li and walked straight in.
After entering, Tang, Song and Yuan discovered that although the signboard looked old, there was something special inside.
There weren't many people coming in and out, and the hotel was pretty clean.
Going up to the second floor, Qiu Yingxue knocked on the door of Room 201 a few times. After a while, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a eldest sister in her thirties, short in stature and with brown skin color.
"Miss Qiu is here again, please come in!"
The eldest sister's Mandarin is not very standard, but her attitude is very warm.
Qiu Yingxue glanced at Tang Songyuan and stepped into the door first. Tang Songyuan and Li Yangqiu followed silently, and then they could see the whole room clearly.
The small room is filled with large and small jadeite stones.
Some were on the floor, others on a long table.
However, although there are many, they are arranged very neatly, and at least they look more pleasing to the eye than the night market stalls.
From this point of view, even if the boss does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he is still a very particular person.
Qiu Yingxue moved a stool and sat down. At the same time, she said to Tang Songyuan: "Mr. Tang, be more casual. Talk to the boss about whatever you like."
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows, opened his perspective, and looked around the room.
The curtains in the room are tightly closed, and the light is suitable for gambling on stones.
Qiu Yingxue watched with a strong flashlight in one hand and a palm-sized stone in the other.
After a while, she handed the material to Tang Songyuan and said, "How about helping me take a look at this piece?"
Tang Songyuan took it silently, felt the touch of the leather shell, and said, "What answer do you want me to give you?"
Qiu Yingxue said: "You can say whatever you want, and I will just listen."
Tang Songyuan chuckled and said: "This piece of material has a very thin shell and fine sand texture. Just now, I saw the effect of lighting on the sand removal position. It should be a piece of emerald green to sun green color material."
"But there is a crack here, and there is a bit of moss here. If there is no moss the day after tomorrow, we can still get two or three sign positions."
Qiu Yingxue took it back and looked at it carefully, looking at the key points pointed out by Tang Songyuan a few more times.
Then he looked at the eldest sister and said, "How much does this piece of material cost?"
The eldest sister had a kind smile on her face and said, "This is fifty thousand yuan, and it's already over forty thousand yuan."
Qiu Yingxue said: "Then I won't say anything else, just 40,000!"
The eldest sister readily agreed, but Tang Songyuan was not very satisfied.
"Hey, you asked me to accompany you. Do you think you think of me as your company's appraiser?"
Qiu Yingxue slapped her forehead as if she had a sudden realization, "Oh, look, I'm making trouble. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
Then, she turned around and faced Tang Song Yuan and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, I actually have a big customer who called me a few days ago and wanted to customize a set of imperial green jade jewelry from me,"
"But you also know that this thing is something you can only meet but cannot seek."
"That's why I brought you here to see if you have the fate to make this deal."
If you had told me earlier, I thought you were trying to steal your teacher.
Tang Songyuan complained in his heart and said: "Then why didn't you take pictures of the huge pieces of imperial green jadeite that were on sale last time."
Qiu Yingxue said: "I made a bid. The final 1.58 billion was my bid, but it's not like you didn't know that Feng Delong blocked the bid in the end."
Tang Songyuan's eyes widened, and he blurted out in shock: "1.58 billion, was this your bid?"
Qiu Yingxue blinked, nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"I do!" Li Yangqiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted:
"What are you talking about, the imperial green jade, what are you talking about, 1.58 billion, are we still friends in the same world?"
So the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties put the Yingjiang auction a few days ago and were surprised to find imperial green jadeite.
Then there were kidnappings and blackmails, and finally the imperial green jade was lost again after the bidding was stopped. I roughly told Li Yangqiu about it.
Li Yangqiu's mouth was open in an O-shape the whole time, and he was even more shocked at the end: "Fuck, if I had known I was so shameless, I would have asked you to take me with you,"
“It’s such a wonderful and interesting thing, it’s really a pity that I didn’t experience it myself!”
Qiu Yingxue also frowned slightly, and she said with some confusion: "That batch of jadeite was lost?"
"How come I haven't heard about it, or even revealed it at all?"
Tang Songyuan slumped his shoulders and said, "Maybe Feng Delong himself doesn't have the face to say it..."
Qiu Yingxue said: "I heard that Feng Delong became seriously ill and was hospitalized after returning. He even died in the hospital a few days ago."
"What!?!"
Tang Songyuan's scalp tightened and he blurted out: "When did this happen?"
