"It's nothing, I'm just doing some jade business. This time, I asked Uncle Yu to help me with the public trading in Myanmar..."

Chen Kai filled the cup in front of Yu Xuan with wine, and laughed and said, "My Uncle Yu loves me, I came over without even discussing the conditions. Uncle Yu, don't worry, the wine bottle must be yours..."

"Stop flattering me..."

Yu Xuan curled his lips and said, "Don't talk about these useless things with me. Take the things quickly and show them to me first. Your dad's stingy guy was hiding like a treasure back then, so I don't like him..."

"Okay, you guys drink it first, I'll go upstairs and take it..." Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Chen Kai quickly stood up and left the restaurant, obviously going to that bronze wine bottle.

"Teacher, is Brother Kai's jade business very big?" Fang Yi asked after Chen Kai went out. Not to mention anything else, it was the villa where Chen Kai lived. In Fang Yi's opinion, he couldn't buy it if there was no one worth 8 million.

"Well, he only does the jade business, and he does a lot..."

Yu Xuan nodded and said, "This kid, learning knowledge is not very useful. He hasn't even learned about 100 million yuan, but he can do business. This is not even his semi-Chengdu..."

Chen Kai is also a legendary figure. As Yu Xuan said, he has never liked to study since he was a child. No matter how he beat him up, he just couldn't do well in the exam. When he was sixteen years old, he finally dropped out of school after junior high school.

With such a son, Old Chen was helpless and wanted Chen Kai to learn some skills in appraisal of antiques with Yu Xuan, so that he could make a living in society in the future.

But for some reason, Chen Kai was not interested in learning. The antique knowledge that Yu Xuan taught him was that Chen Kai went in with his left ear and his right ear. When Yu Xuan saw that he was not the one who made a living, he immediately sent Chen Kai to a jade processing factory run by his friend in Yangmei to work.

But what is unexpected is that Chen Kai, who is awkward in his studies, is very talented in doing business. He started to sell in the factory. After working for three or four years, Chen Kai accumulated a huge source of customers and connections in the business world.

When the former Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, Chen Kai, who was only in his twenties, gritted his teeth and quit his job in the factory. He and a friend who runs instant noodles factory sold instant noodles and daily department stores to Russia. After more than a year, he actually made more than one million.

One million in the 1990s was definitely a huge sum of money. With this money, after Chen Kai returned to his hometown, he opened a small jade processing workshop himself. At the beginning, he hired a master to do some jade processing business.

However, with the progress of reform and opening up, the lives of ordinary people gradually improved than when they had cash in hand, and the sales of jade jewelry also increased year by year. When Chen Kai saw this business opportunity, he immediately expanded his workshop-style factory and started his own jade brand.

With the previous business channels, Chen Kai's sales quickly opened. He opened more than ten jade stores in the capital cities of seven or eight provinces in the south in one go, and even monopolized the business of low-end jade souvenirs in some tourist attractions in the south.

Now, Chen Kai has a net worth of at least hundreds of millions. He is already a giant-level jade merchant in southern China. Even those chain jewelry stores in Hong Kong and Taiwan need to cooperate with him if they want to enter this market.

However, although Chen Kai is flexible and versatile in business, he is still a layman in the appraisal of jadeite and jade every time he purchases goods, he needs a lot of money to ask experts to help him with the appraisal.

Not to mention, although Chen Kai's method costs a lot of money, he basically doesn't take medicine to treat it every time in the purchase channel, so he doesn't suffer any loss.

As for the bronze wine bottle they just mentioned, it was brought by Chen Kai's father from the ghost market in the early 1980s. It was a bronze ware from the Qin Dynasty, with very good quality. Yu Xuan had long wanted to exchange it for his hand, but Old Chen was reluctant to let it go, but unexpectedly, Xiao Chen took it out secretly.

Of course, Yu Xuan helped Chen Kai out of purely the care of his elders for his younger generations. Otherwise, no matter how valuable the wine bottle was, it would be far from reaching the five million appraisal fee that others gave him.

"Uncle Yu, how about it? Is this one?" As soon as Yu Xuan finished speaking, Chen Kai submitted a box and walked into the restaurant, put the box in front of Yu Xuan.

"Hmm? It's this one, it's true..."

Yu Xuan picked up the bronze wine bottle about ten centimeters high and looked at it for a while, put it in the box and pushed it in front of Chen Kai, and said, "Xiao Kai, I have received your wish, but I'd better take this thing back to Old Chen. If he knew that this thing was gone, he wouldn't know what kind of heartache..."

Just because of the two elder brothers taking care of him when they were squatting in the cowshed, Yu Xuan could not take Old Chen’s beloved thing. The reason why Chen Kai took it down was just to have fun.

"Uncle Yu, don't worry, please hold it. I told Comrade Chen that if he doesn't agree, do you think I dare?"

Chen Kai smiled and pushed the box back. He knew that Yu Xuan's value is now going to Myanmar. This bronze wine bottle is a real Qin Dynasty court wine vessel. Although it is not worth five million, two or three million is worth it. It can show his feelings.

"Let's talk about this later..."

Yu Xuan nodded without comment and said, "Xiaokai, you have never gambling stones before, why did you suddenly bet on stones this time? You also know that gambling stones is very risky. Even if you Uncle Yu, I have misunderstood..."

Yu Xuan is definitely a person of Taishan Beidou level in the identification of jadeite and has helped Chen Kai a lot in the past, but he knew that Chen Kai always bought half-gamble or all-open jade materials for buying raw stones, and he had never gambled on jadeite.

"Teacher, do you say you are going to take me to see this time?" Fang Yi couldn't help asking. He often heard Yu Xuan mention his gambling stones and Fang Yi was excited, but Fang Yi had never experienced it personally.

The so-called gambling stone refers to the miners of Myanmar transporting out jadeite rough stones that were mined and wrapped in a layer of stone skin, so that people can judge whether there is jade and jadeite level in the rough stone based on the layer of stone skin.

Although this kind of raw stone that has not been polished off the stone skin is cheap, it is extremely risky, because even the most sophisticated machine in the world cannot see the jade meat inside through the stone skin.

In this way, the gambling nature of the raw stone becomes very heavy. Some people spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan to produce stones worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, while others spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan to produce jade is worthless. Therefore, many people get rich overnight because of gambling stones, and countless people lose their money because of gambling stones.

It is precisely because of the great gamble that it has attracted countless people to participate, including professional gamblers, jewelry company owners and jade merchants.

Of course, there is also a difference between gamblers and businessmen, that is, gamblers usually gamble, while merchants will buy half-gamble or finished materials from gamblers. The two can be said to be a parasitic relationship.

"Uncle Yu, I won't bet this time..."

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Chen Kai said helplessly: "You also know that the current situation in Myanmar is very bad. I don't know if the public market will be opened next year. I have to stock up on some materials, otherwise if the situation deteriorates, my jade shops will have to close..."

Chen Kai is not a very gambler. He always seeks stability in business, but this time the external factors have forced him to take a gamble.

Jade is only produced in the world on both sides of a river channel about tens of kilometers long in Myanmar. Not to mention the output, its mining and transportation environment is very harsh. There are countless people who die in mine accidents every year.

If the mining environment is just harsh, that's fine. Most of the land in the Golden Triangle is also in Myanmar. In addition, there are many hills in Myanmar, almost a village is an armed force, and no one believes in the government army. Since the 1950s and 1960s, there have been constant conflicts and wars.

In this case, it will inevitably affect the mining and sale of jadeite. If the government had not done its full efforts to maintain it, the Myanmar jadeite public auction would have been unable to be held long ago.

The political situation in Myanmar this year is particularly unstable. After the drug lord surrendered to the government, his forces were divided and guerrilla wars were launched on various hills, which also led to the inability to transport jadeite rough stones and export, resulting in tight supply of goods and prices soaring.
