Tengchong Jade "insider trading": every step a very low success rate in games of chance
Stone Crazy
Stone Game
600 Years ago, people found Tengchong lucky accident in a rock secret. Since then, it can be seen as a block of stone, wrapped in possession of a group over another group of people hopes and dreams. One by one, wealth, business, moral, family and even their lives because of the legend of the stone and proliferation endless generation of people dream of one day becoming the protagonists of these stories glory. This failure is much greater than the success of the game, I get involved the secret of who the rock, but very few of writing in a later captured one, his face still left a big smile.
Game stone. Games of chance in the rock surface is jade stones are plausible, but that's because of this paradox is crucial and the game play Shiren equity, or even life. "Knife poor, rich knife, knife bag wear. Jade Shiren bring suit, there are hints of passion and confusion You Liangshou empty. The 19th century, the British invasion Burma to the way in which fear has been erased jade ore known as "Oriental Magic Stones!"
Another hundred years later, Magic Stones Magic down, one at a stone in the bet, the story continues on the emerald scene ... ...
500 000 a stone to open a nightmare
Hu continued the construction of more than 50 current and all middle-aged man, like every day for the family to go to Kunming, the streets of the city. "Now, look at the Stone is purely my personal hobby. "Hu continued the construction of a busy day, sitting in his home district LIANG Yuan, spreading serenity. In every corner the scattered Hu Jia jade several professional books, no one would bet Hu said, and stones, and jade involved. In fact, life in the hope that Hu should continue, almost all carry a small piece of stone. The set of stone became the haunts of the secret anguish Hu said.
A "Value" stone 50 million
Hu said he leaves the room more than a piece of the surface of the hands of a black stone, rocks the size of a fist was cut in two sizes. Through the profile, you can clearly see that the dark skin is a blend of white flowers in the green star.
"This rock, which was dismissed jade industry! "Hu said with some sadness. Hu said clean water bowls are hand rubbed on the stone section. Then he took a flashlight, the beam hitting the rocks, the light irradiation, the section of stone without any changes, or gray one. "If I tell you, this stone cost me 500,000, not going to believe. "
11 years ago, Hu said the stone was purchased at the hands of a Burmese had arrived, when the stone is intact and has not been cut. Hu said the stone was found, there are items, they can rely on that make a fortune. Hu said that a mosaic of 500 000 to carry more than 20 million dollars debt, also became the owner of the stone. However, this is what Hu said the beginning of a nightmare.
Out of 500,000 across the board
"Buy a stone, I read with great care. In my experience at the time of judging, this stone is certainly not normal." Transactions carried implemented smoothly, Myanmar began asking 800,000, and finally in the delivery of 50 million. "I bought the stone fully enclosed hull, or section did not open. In accordance with the jargon, this is a standard "stone gambling." Although the risks are great, but if gaming over cut rose after (a jade stone of high quality), the benefit is considerable. "Hu said in the eyes of some slightly brighter. However, things are not so fortunate. Hu continued construction casino collapsed (no value what the rock).
"In the morning Ruili bought the stone, I resolved later in Ruili (to cut stones of jade). "Hu continued construction still remember clearly the solution machine (machine designed to cut stones of jade) in the roar when the sound cuts stone. "The voice of my heart trembled straight earthquake."
"Cutting stone, I also find some friends together to do research for a long jade, decided that the stone should be cut from somewhere. "More than 10 minutes, the solution engine roar stopped, opened the lid of the solution Hu currently building continued trembling hand. "At that moment the feeling is very complicated, do not know fear or excitement." When you see a gray cut stone, jade, as thin as bamboo leaves, the Wu continue is to be on the spot. "Finally, how return to Kunming, I do not remember, like sleepwalking." Collapse of the Hu said the game and dared not come across stone game, over the years, chipping away some of the company, Hu said the hard-earned pay debt. "Immortal jade inch knife very difficult without cutting into the 50 million, I fully understand what it means." He was talking, Hu continued construction of an emotion.
Wives Big Stone rich achievement
Mid-90s, in a state-owned units to buyers Hu was to continue building more than others "discover" opportunities, regular travel and work abroad, so Hu said in heart hides a dream full of rich, to facilitate the use of labor, and do a little trading Hu continued construction of the time, "people get rich first."
"A business trip to Ruili, where almost two months to live, left me two months had a strong interest in Jade." Generate such interest, had to encounter from the Hu said the story of a real, Hu said that the hotels to the side of life, often have vendors stalls mounted to a small business, to buy a "pumpkin ice," a lucky little girl to care.
One day, at noon, a Burmese jade traders do not know why, not have a penny, but your child has a fever burned about Wake Up Dead, Myanmar entrepreneurs emergencies, carry a child on the street for money for the child see a doctor. However, no one is willing to pay. To go to "Ice the girl pumpkin" Qian Tan, a soft-hearted girl, put it in more $ 40 entrepreneurs were given to Myanmar.
Who would have thought a few days later, Myanmar businessmen once again found the girl of "ice pumpkin" Qian said Tan had not come to ask for money, but the little girl brought the two egg-sized stone. "This piece Stone me pay, we must remember, this stone can only solution, can not sell! "Myanmar entrepreneurs left, she heard his words and did not sell this piece of jade, but short, and all this, all of good quality jade. A small stone changed hands, which sold two million dollars.
Flower girl to continue building a great touch Hu. "Play rock can really make money!" Thus, Hu said the unit managed to leave without salary, a single purpose, eh jade business. Years of fighting for the following products (bare skin clean and opened his mouth to cut the surface of the stones jade) operations to gain a little, said Hu cent. But it can not meet their views in a very high degree of risk and high profit goods game. "I never expected a once ruined the dream of my life. "Hu said very melancholy.
They also want to take a risk
Now, Hu said the nephew told the sisters opened a jewelry store specializing in jade. Business done is not bad. But what worries Hu continued construction is that her 25 year old wants to do of doing business in jade, stone business line in the fate of the game. "I think this is their own choice, was not successful, but the child may have the opportunity to succeed. "Hu continued construction of the stone casino still hopeful.
"I will learn cousin first told After a period of time, accumulated points, experience and capital. "He graduated just two years the University of Southern Hu will not believe the inability repeated his father, who bet the world is full of curious stones.
However, this time with his father, Hu did not know that the line of stone when the game is changing in silence, gambling experts have begun to rock far from 100% of 'goods gambling, cash and experience Financial has been replaced by the most powerful weapon in this business.
Bet less than one ten thousandth of the total success rate of stone
Huang Peilin just cut his hand to seize one of jade, put in clean water, then filled cocoon hands on his head jade pieces, the light entering the house voted favor of proceeding with caution in consideration of the jade pieces. This rock, "" appears not to quit, and his eyes filled with comfort and satisfaction. Grade "No bad, but not longer, but it can be. "59-year-old Huang Peilin has made every pocket stone with a smile. Jade entrepreneurs like him in Tengchong County abounds in this with "the first Emerald City" in the title, not the same as gambling Peilin Huang Shiren unusual. However, in Tengchong Jade actually experienced businessmen rarely involved pure "real game" transactions.
Jade industry Rangers
Huang Peilin found at the site is a Tengchong County jade wool processing plant, when you are waiting for a take away their "Amoy" in the stone. machine stone cutting is a cover of the solution and not see the stone was cut open one solution when Huang Peilin to wait until the prayer in my heart I can have a good luck. "I bought a 1000 stone, even if no solution is what I will not miss too much." Huang lips a little indifferent, has been sit still, stop the machine before the cruise in the solution, feel like posting in the performance of pupils waiting.
The processing plant wool in the yard, piles of junk of little value to be arbitrary reactor Center. In the courtyard of the corner units have a few tons of jade wool. "These materials not very good, not great value. "Wool dry cutting jade was 8 years of middle-aged man, said Wang contempt." This stone has a good speed. "Solution in them the 8-machine factory in Taiwan, Wang pointed to the ground of large stone feet, he said, "this rock, grade, although not actually superior, but also value more than 10 million. "
This number was on a local scale plants processing of wool are obviously divided into three regions, product the sidewalk to sell jade, a stone factory is a specialized, and the other is a stone cut out a simple milling process. "This can only produce bracelets, more complex carving ornaments and accessories will have to find someone to establish a special process. "Wang said.
Huang Peilin has finished cutting, the stone, slowly taken in the backyard of a poor quality of cigarettes manufactured in Myanmar. "I often take the stone to cut here. But do not earn more." Specialized and change Huang Peilin wool did not seem rich, it is usually of the hands of local people or the inhabitants of the border with Myanmar, some of poor quality buy cheap jade the original stone and then, after cutting cheap to buy a real jade merchants. In the hands of these traders, the rough stone in a variety of prices ranging from to jewelry jewelry counters. "I am as a person in the jade industry and the Tramp in it. In fact, not a businessman. To rely on the experience a little shallow for a living stone. "
Everywhere is the Emerald City
Due to the rain, Du Maosheng jewelers store seemed desolate. This is because gambling stone CCTV special program and has earned an excellent reputation as experts in jade sitting behind the counter, and watched TV while a guest especially coming to visit Beijing in the chat.
"In today's Tengchong has few people to buy the game of real stone, and the game rocks were too large, too risky. We can all become very strong, they tend to remove some of the materials have been clear. Such relatively minor risks. Jade has been three generations of commercial operations, said Du Maosheng. Tengchong He has been director of Arts and Crafts Factory 12 years, with all the different skills certificates of jade. Eyes, became the Du Maosheng mixed in the jade industry for decades, and a name for himself in the capital.
Tengchong Crafts The default is the end of the Cultural Revolution officially put into operation in 1973, mainly engaged in the processing of jade hair. At that time, there is no opening, the transformation of raw materials is difficult to Burma Jade from the origin to Tengchong. "For we are buried in the ground to depend on processing of scrap." Hundreds of years in the calendar Tengchong Jade, artisans have been able to produce simple bracelet, thus was arbitrary many valuable waste underground. According to the technology current processing, these wastes above, there are many jade stones are priceless.
"Therefore, Tengchong I can say is a land of city emerald. "Du Maosheng he said." In the Tengchong, provided that the demolition of old buildings meet, there will be many people in the excavation site, which hoping to find people buried in the ground before the 'junk'. "This situation has gotten used to Tengchong County Museum is said to be chief section. "Because we believe that the ground floor of" waste "was nothing good, so the demolition of old houses in Tengchong county build a new home owners are only half the price paid to the construction side, the other half can be excavated from the soil responsible for Jade to compensate. This is actually a behavior of the stone unique gameplay. "Duan said the cases.
Yu inches too hard fairies
And Jade player 10 years of relations, we see Du Maosheng speculation turned into stone full bet. Because the game has a layer of weathered rock surfaces general block of the hull, can not see the situation internal can only be under the hull characteristics and work at the opening of premises, to infer whether the stone top of the home game emerald. This makes jade trade in raw materials, quality of raw material in the identification of jade in a very difficult task. And dating a lot of secret means. "I saw so many years of stone, not a completely open solution of stone one hundred percent certainty. Are there any materials jade top, without instruments scientists can detect. Thus jade fairy inches too hard. "Rock in the game opposed the Du Maosheng also think that rock can do one night the riches of the game, however, he felt that the probability is very small. "A good bet to buy stone, must have strong economic strength, but also directly buy mines in Myanmar. Sent to Tengchong, not take away the stone that is almost impossible for the superior material. Her sex game too. "Du know Maosheng as my teacher in the jade and stone per day, to discuss the content of the stone is almost impossible to escape their eyes, so in Tengchong, or areas outside Myanmar, to find low cost High quality jade stones is very unlikely.
"Having a wealth of opportunities for the game of rock, never less than one ten thousandth." Du Maosheng said. In Tengchong, most sellers on the buyers understand the wool, the two sides finally agreed price is reasonable, to know how to buy a piece like wool can handle, how much benefit can be obtained. Jade mining to final product is made of the production lines, this line can get all aspects of the amount of benefits are relatively clear, and have the opportunity to the rich, but did not like the sound wealth.
The merits of the five Jade major decisions
As the saying goes, "God inches is hard to find jade. General jade business experience, so it all depends of sight, it seems that no regulations have been and standards. In fact, only legends. Tengchong Jewelry Association, in the eyes of the former president of Du Maosheng, jade identification is made can be identified.
Du Maosheng introduced into the solution according to your own machine before the season more than 1,000 hours of experience, good or bad to judge a piece of jade, depends on the five key factors: species, color, water content divided.
Type of conditions structural jade. Fine, dense, smooth finish known as the old kind of high price high. Instead of more impurities cotton and large, rough and is called the "stone of the great "that the new species. Old jade types must be distinguished from the stone. It is not stone, has entered the ranks of the treasure. Species is the level of maturity Emerald or a combination of quality titles.
Colour refers to the color of jade. Jade Spring red, green, blue, yellow, gray, white and black, red, green, spring, mainly three colors. Red, green, jade spring three color co-exist here, jade coexist red, green, yellow, blue, dear spring, greater value. Green, red is the color of jade high-end compounds, especially the green is expensive, their commercial value is shown in green in the minds of most people. Green hierarchical way, the number, distribution levels. Emerald green with "thick" yang ',' Pretty ',' is 'and' forever. Instead of "light" Yin "old" evil "," Flower "was worse, with the first 5 items of high value, low value five. The so-called "dense" the color "green" in green, dark green instead of piano black side. On the contrary, "light" means green light, indicating the inability of so-called "Yang" is the bright light. The other is the "dark" green sun even light a number of people are refreshing and pleasant, cloudy, dark green, although it is not popular. The so-called "smart" is pretty, has the meaning of youth, seems pretty crystal beautiful green. Otherwise, it seems that the "old", "boring", Yang Qiao beautiful green, bright with a sense of the "positive" is green, no green, blue, gray, black and other colors as varied as these "color of evil", the value in the low call "and" is the uniform "Not spending", ie the uniformity of color, if the green wire was strip or dispersion, dispersed block is the "flower", but also affect value. The front five for the higher grade after five defective products. Green apple emerald green, green grass seedlings, green is on.
Jade refers to water clarity with the type of relationship, it jade texture performance. Usually, glass of water (almost transparent) ring? sugar syrup translucent glass), water wax which are three of great transparency and semi-transparency. Opaque or transparent as water or low water dry.
The end of the the emerald color barrier, with clean, new housing and dirty, mixing, thickness and others. Transparency in general to the endpoints, such as glass, ice background at the end of wax, final taro, dog feces and sole
Jade material that cracks crack, crack. Where there is division of jade, except for future use, the greater the most obvious crack, the worse the quality, the lower the market value, known as defective products, regardless of how the color of your background, you can not sell to high prices.
Jade every step of the business in the gambling
In southwestern Yunnan section of the shop are three Huai, called the section chief. Mina at least one year stay in Myanmar for two months repeated emphasis on the segment owner, to make this line of business is to have a pair of eyes to eat. Cis segment in the owner of the jewelry store, Huai section carefully open safe behind the counter, from inside and pulled out a velvet bag, the bag is 10 jade bracelets. "These bracelets are priced at about 200,000 should have been, all of a stone, down." Section chief proud stone that took him only 10 million.
"I'm not going to buy these bracelets, the price is not large emerald backwards, I'll put one up them. "Section Huaizhong that stone game just with a pair of outside eyes, but dares to challenge the pressure to buy the boldness of vision." In fact jade business, every step is in the bet, buy the original stone, betting that the meat inside is not of high quality jade, carved stone, block is part of it is not the silver rich Office (quality, best place), in processing, the bet is artisanal vessels, if it allows the stone icing on the cake, and even a good process, and during the polishing process is in play, sometimes a plane of light jade jewelry, but losing the brilliant. "Therefore, the game is not stone only the sale of the original stone.
And Du Maosheng Huaizhong same paragraph also believes that real jade merchants did not put hope in the opening over the mouth of "playing rock 'on. Whether or not to cut the emerald cut open the wool, the purchase price and actual prices have bias, "even if the wool is cut, it can not pricing, could unlock the knife again, another new discovery. "Therefore, the general said that all the wool trade in jade and have a mix of gaming elements, and narrow "set of stone", ie not released from the sale of the stone, but rare in Tengchong? Experience in identifying jade-rich areas, people are more willing to rely on the experience of eating, rather than their hopes entirely on luck. The narrow sense "Game" rocks called gambling goods, gambling and Tengchong wool products accounted for only 1% of trading volume, prices are generally high. In accordance with Section Huaizhong observation, only the most abundant resources, a strong desire to get rich people to buy this product of play. " Participate in this "real game" that deal was Zuguang Liu called Przewalski Tangut rich man ", Jida below, people would collapse.
To restore the glory of Tengchong Jade trade
In Tengchong, participation is purely "game" property Trade fewer people, there is also a deeper reason. Since 2000, the Government of Myanmar jade ore control of the auction, so the boss rich and powerful control of Guangdong nearly jade source. Tengchong Jade silent passive entrepreneurs throughout the chain of transactions support Jade. Worthy, worthy jade wool game, has been rare in Tengchong. "Section of Huai said.
Tengchong business decisions from city center
Tengchong Jade County border in the world of wool Myanmar origin only, and only 80 km away, in accordance with the "View travel" records before Ming Dynasty, the Tengchong Burmese jade trade has become a transit, then, Teng Middle Road (Tengchong Myitkyina Myanmar), Teng octal (Tengchong Bhamo in Myanmar) the Myanmar jade wool as the main gateway to China, then shipped in Tengchong trading market worldwide. After the liberation of Yunnan, sustained for centuries, jade trade stopped.
70, presents the development of the central foreign trade policy, new business Tengchong began jade wool flourishing. In the decades since then, Tengchong act as a center of world trade and the important role of Jade, which is spring in Tengchong Jade industry. In 1996, the government Myanmar to allow private transactions jade stones, blocked the Burma border smuggling business channels, trading most of the return to Burma Jade locally. Buyers do not have to like the mainland early 90s, like Guangdong, the first plane to Kunming, the Kunming to Dali night bus back and then a drive on Baoshan Dali, with so much effort to carry out a sale of the purchases of raw materials. They can fly directly to the raw materials Mandalay in Myanmar. This is the beginning of winter operation Tengchong Jade.
Nearly seven years ago, the stone was "stolen" the distance
Section Huaizhong has lost seven years ago, are specialized in the days of raw jade. "At that time, I'm not, do not finish basic Jade business. All mine go directly to wool imports of Myanmar. And then to Canton to buy jade merchants. "At that time, Burma Jade, or transportation Tengchong land, and Tengchong Jade was the golden age of the wool trade, the customs gate, stopped in Hong Kong, Guangdong entrepreneurs car, waiting in the sent from the office of Burma, wool of a single pass, everyone rushed to the signing of a shot. "The piles of stones are bought, the price hesitated, the opportunity was taken away from other guests. Tengchong was to buy a stone of the Guangdong businessmen buy both, we could say that the looting. "
2000, the government of Myanmar has increased its control of the emerald green wool, wool exports no longer take the Tengchong, but sold directly to auction in Yangon, to attended the auction the head Tengchong, and soon discovered that it is the business of Tengchong world "Stone is not a single sale, but lots of everything the auction price of EUR 50,000 each pile. "So the small business capital Tengchong dared not approached, stood in front of posters Guangdong, the head of Hong Kong. Or directly in Yangon, or Guangzhou, near the wool market, "the best raw materials has been difficult in Tengchong Jade vi.
Sources to reduce the burden of high
Tengchong Jade Liu Zuguang foreign trade companies set up by the head of a wool trading company, which is a reception room, facilities tend to sit a few local people on the couch to play, "they are all blank in my game, and all the other customers. "
Tengchong Currently the wool comes from a private relationship between the direct transport of Myanmar to mine, "the Earl of contraband in Myanmar, and then sent to China, customs declaration, marked with numbers as legal imports, so that the high price of transport on the road. "Transport 1 kg of wool a few dollars from the initial price, rose to the current 200 yuan, Liu Zuguang that transportation costs have more than a tariff 33%, really can not go into a business.
Liu Zuguang companies in several classrooms at the size of the winery, he opened his mouth and basically cut the random surface of wool pile on the floor beside each lot of wool is a water pot and a lamp. "This is used when customers used to seeing stone. "Guardia said the warehouse keeper. Near the side walls of the nave is a row of iron in the archive." Closet of wool is placed within the wool price is relatively higher. But there was little need for rocks, good rock almost to the Guangdong and Hong Kong. 'Liu Zuguang some frustration.
Tengchong experts powerless to act as "eyes"
In the store, another industry expert Zhang Zhubang Tengchong Jade boss to accompany Northeast to be a stone selection of jade. Zhang Zhubang this is to act as the "eyes" (to help identify the value of the wool of experts) on paper. Zhang previously Zhubang served on numerous foreign businessmen in the eye ", because money can not participate in large companies, only when the" eyes " make a little money, and then some vision is useless, money for the big boss on the left. Jade transactions, to lucrative, requires a large capital
Now, every five days, and Tengchong have wool trade shows, left to go shopping, buy a block of 500 small wool, anatomy, so can be solved in a couple of bracelets, 200 paid the processing fees, which Bracelets prices, but also 1,000 yuan, "earn some money from the Flower."
Zhang feeling Zhubang, Tengchong 90 a wool-trading center is almost an inevitable thing, because even people without experience can be based on the identification of Tengchong many talents and fair trade, "Those who come from Kunming to Hong Kong businessmen chartered not bother, it's easy to see in the Tengchong find local wool" eyes. " "In the 90s, this" eye "in the field or the rarity," I heard Guangzhou find experts for identification, the price of 10,000 yuan per transaction. " In Tengchong, experts, as long as the price of flowers can go low.
Tengchong county government to reshape "Emerald City"
Faced with a severe form of mid-October 2007, Tengchong county government issued a "jade industry in the establishment of Tengchong County Leading Group Office the announcement, "the establishment of the leading group, marking the end of the history of industry in the Tengchong Jade operation of the pure people. Tengchong County, according with a figure connected, the Government has the initial idea, including the preparation for the construction of a direct crossing of roads leading to mines in Myanmar, Today this part of the highway in China is completed.

I would not worry too for her. Around here, crosses Quebec quite often and have searched only once. All I got was seized a radar detector. I would not have cut in his pocket, but only had a knife is not illegal. How old are you anyway? If you're like 16 should not be a problem. Assuming this is a knife average pocket, not a giant knife.
