Chapter 557 Reactions from all parties
Once the raw jadeite is transported to the village, the following tasks become much simpler.
Bifang found a few strong men nearby, paid them some money for their work, and asked them to carry the stones onto a small truck and then deliver them to the town center.
Japan is not a big country, but it is impossible for Bifang to go to the market to find sellers by himself, so he went to the town and found an agency and asked it to be done.
They contact the sellers, negotiate the highest price possible, and then take a certain commission.
Bifang and Mugalun found a small restaurant on the roadside to have dinner. It turned out that the other party was very efficient. Before 7pm, when they hadn't finished their meal, they had already received the news.
Bifang waved to the waiter to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, and invited the other party to take a seat: "So soon?"
Nohara Hiroshi nodded, sat upright and placed a document in front of the two people: "Yes, it is thanks to Mr. Bi that we were able to find a buyer so quickly."
Hiroshi Nohara is the agent that Bifang is looking for. He has good performance and is very efficient.
"Me?" Bifang opened the document and looked at it for a long time. Apart from the basic data, it was all professional terms that he didn't quite understand.
After reading two lines, I found that my previous introduction was a bit wrong. Only Hetian jade is divided into mountain material and seed material, while jadeite is actually divided into three types: mountain material, water stone, and half mountain and half water material.
I am not an expert on this.
"Yes." Nohara Hiroshi nodded. "Many people in Japan are watching Fang Jun's live broadcast. To be honest, my son has always liked Fang Jun's hunting stories and has been clamoring to meet Fang Jun every day. The jade we dug out this time has also been reported in the news. When they heard that Fang Jun wanted to sell it, many gem merchants contacted us waving money."
[Wow, Boss Fang, this can only be sold with our help]
【Don’t be ungrateful】
[If it were me, I would definitely give one to everyone present, otherwise I would definitely feel bad.]
Mu Jialun drank from his cup and took a look at the document. It only recorded the weight, skin, species, color, etc. He couldn't understand anything. Finally, he threw it on the table, leaned back, lifted up his stool and asked, "What's the highest price?"
A slight difference in the quality and color of jadeite can make a big difference in price, and this difference cannot be identified using a standard evaluation method.
Jewelry diamonds are much simpler, you can understand them just by looking at their size.
Foreigners like to say it’s real, but jade doesn’t have a square standard, so how can people tell its value at a glance?
Look at the diamond, how wonderful it is. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is. You are a rich man and others can see it at a glance.
In addition to some deeper reasons, jade is not popular abroad, Mugalen is not clear about its value and does not have much hope.
After all, the raw stone has not been carved or polished, so it does not look good and has no sense of beauty.
If there is not 100,000 ugly yuan, Bifang will have to fill it up. He has put in so much effort and he can't work in vain. Now his legs and feet are still sore, and the red marks on his shoulders have been rubbed into blood marks.
When talking about the price, Hiroshi Nohara sat upright.
"The highest price so far is from a gem merchant in Hokkaido, who bid 134 million."
"puff!"
A spray of water sprayed all over Nohara Hiroshi's face.
Mugalen almost lost his balance and fell off the chair. He sat up straight suddenly, took out a tissue from the side and started to wipe Nohara Hiroshi's wound in a hurry.
Although Hiroshi Nohara was criticized, he was not angry. Instead, he was quite happy. After all, he could get a considerable commission, which was equivalent to one or two years' salary .
He couldn't help laughing: "But it's only been two hours, so I think there's still room for further negotiation on the price. The final transaction price should be around 160 million to 80 million."
"A jadeite stone weighing nearly two tons is already very valuable. Although the quality of the piece dug out by Mr. Bi is average, it is already excellent compared to normal Japanese materials."
"Plus, its appearance is also unusual, witnessed by millions of citizens and tens of millions of viewers. Now many merchants consider it to be 'Earth Jade', which is of great collection value."
Nohara Hiroshi briefly explained the reason.
Japan reveres jadeite as its national stone. The legendary artifact "Hachimura Magatama" in Japanese Shintoism is made of jadeite. But it does not mean that all jadeite is their national stone. Only the jadeite native to Japan is it.
Unfortunately, as Bifang said before, the only region that can produce gem-grade jade is Japan. More than 90% of the materials in Japan are slag, and it is really not easy to choose the best from the inferior.
The vast majority of it is small in quantity and poor in quality, and strictly speaking can only be called jadeite.
Given the quality of this raw stone, if you go somewhere else to buy it, you may not be able to sell it at the current price, probably half the price.
But in Japan, the two were destined to make a fortune.
Bifang, who was sitting opposite, seemed to hear the sound of the slot machine's gold coins refreshing. He turned around and suddenly found that Mugalen's eyes had turned into the ugly gold symbol.
Mr. Krabs?
Blinking again, Bifang realized that he was dazzled, but the shaking cup in Mugalen's hand undoubtedly exposed his true thoughts, and he kept muttering: "One hundred and eighty million, one hundred and eighty million."
Bifang stepped forward and took the cup from his hand, worried that this guy might break the cup due to his unstable hand, so he reminded him: "It's the Sun Yuan, if it's the Chou Jin, there won't be that much."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Mu Jialun smiled awkwardly: "I am too tired today, my muscles have not recovered yet, my hands are shaking a little, haha, my hands are shaking a little."
The audience burst into laughter, and then became envious. Such wealth and fortune are really fucking awesome!
[Old Mu is fine, but my cup would be broken]
[One hundred and eighty million, I am so weird]
[Does anyone know the current exchange rate between the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen?]
[Don't ask, I've calculated it, 9.3 million Chinese currency, 1.38 million ugly gold.]
[Quick, oxygen, I need oxygen]
【Whoever sees it gets a share, whoever sees it gets a share!!!】
At this time, Mugalen also took out his mobile phone and calculated the total amount of ugly money. After deducting the commission, he and Lao Fang each got half.
At least five hundred thousand...
Mu Jialun suddenly held Bifang's hand, raised his arm and squeezed the big muscles on his arm: "Brother, my dear brother, if you need this kind of hard work in the future, remember to call me, I am strong and healthy! Strong and healthy!"
"Asking you for 50% is a huge loss. I might as well ask someone else for it."
"Don't be like this, my brother. Thirty, no, ten is fine. Just call me and I'll be there whenever you ask me. I can do the work of three people by myself!"
Mugalen is very happy now.
I just put in a lot of effort, and actually managed to get back 500,000 gold in less than half a day?
Please give him more opportunities like this, he has plenty of energy.
Look, what a professional explorer is, this is professionalism.
If it were me, how could I realize that it was a priceless stone? I would just think it was some kind of chlorite.
Hunting a bear? Hunting a ball!
Mugalen thought about his shopping cart, which could be emptied again, and he could buy the fishing gear he had been dreaming of. He could also pay off the remaining loan for the big villa that he had paid the down payment for with the bonus from the show in one go. He felt so happy.
Back to the days without the pressure of life.
The other diners nearby all cheered loudly and expressed their envy.
Bifang stood up, put one foot on the diagonal bar of the stool, and shouted: "I'll pay for all the consumption in the store today!"
One stone caused a thousand ripples. The diners in the restaurant cheered loudly, and even the boss's face was filled with smiles.
It is unexpected money, and it is real happiness only when everyone is happy together.
Unlike the happy Bifang and others, the other hunters were secretly shocked when they heard the figure of 180 million yen through the audience. They came to Japan and could not avoid currency exchange. Of course they understood how much money this was, especially the native Yuki hunters who felt it even more deeply.
One hundred and eighty million...
How could a prey earn so much money in a lifetime? I'm afraid it's not even a fraction of what it is. Is it possible for the ancestors to be buried in the graves?
One point equals 100,000, and one bear equals ten. What is 180 million divided by 100,000?
One thousand eight hundred points?
The body of an adult black bear with a length of 1.5 meters is considered to be very good if it is intact and has only minor wounds.
I want to kill one hundred and eighty of them myself?
Because of the earthquake, Sato and others returned to the town to rest. It was the first time they got together since the hunting season started, and they felt a little dizzy.
Okuyama put his hand on his forehead and said, "I have to hunt 180 bears to catch up with this guy."
Tanaka also agreed: "It's a windfall."
"You two are lucky. You are now in first place. Takahashi and I have only caught one, and this is the fourth day." Fujiwara sighed.
"This guy is too popular."
The five people looked at Bifang on TV with jealousy in their eyes.
The hunting season was originally a stage for five people, and Takeshi Gouda thought so. However, from its opening to now, from Bifang's hype, to his bear hunting, to the discovery of jade in an earthquake.
Bifang brought huge traffic to the entire program, but others seemed to have not enjoyed any of the benefits.
Especially the bear hunting scene, several ghost hunters were stunned. It was true that they were holding naginata in their hands, which was used for the final finishing blow.
When the black bear was dying, he went up with a naginata to carry out the final harvest.
How can you just go up there holding a spear? Is it like a birthday star hanging himself? Do you think you have too long to live?
This guy is really awesome.
Besides being jealous, several people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Among the 35 hunters, except the parties involved, almost everyone watched the scene of Bifang hunting the bear again and again.
If I put myself in his shoes, I would never dare to do that. It is a complete gamble with my life.
They don't have the sense of smell of a wolf king, nor the intuition of wild beasts, so no matter how they look at Bifang, it feels like they are watching a science fiction movie.
It's not scientific.
Unscientific doesn't mean it can't be done, maybe in a life-and-death situation, it's not impossible for some of you to fight for your lives, but it's not as exciting as regular hunting.
If you dare to do this, you must be at least 80% sure, right?
If it were them, they would probably...
Thirty percent?
Thinking of this, everyone present looked at each other with feeling, and inevitably felt a little guilty, and avoided looking.
Don’t underestimate this extra 50%. One represents a life-and-death struggle, and the other represents everything being under control. The realm is more than twice as high.
Sato grabbed his hair, feeling a little annoyed.
…
Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, a police officer walked out of his office dejectedly.
Through the crack in the door that had not yet closed, one could see the Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner Matsumoto Kiyonaga pulling at his remaining hair, his chest heaving, as he was a little out of breath from the sudden outburst.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he turned on the TV next to him and watched today's bear hunting season live broadcast.
During the bear hunting season, a two-hour edited version of the show is broadcast every night at 8 o'clock, which brings some comfort to many office workers.
Seeing that hunters from his country ranked first, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's depressed mood was relieved a lot, and even his worries about his employees' poor performance were dissipated a lot.
When he learned that Bifang had obtained a piece of jadeite worth more than 100 million yen due to the earthquake, the director fantasized that it would be great if he had such good luck.
At that time, you will no longer have to work, nor will you have to deal with pressure from your boss. You will achieve complete financial freedom and be able to do whatever you want.
Divorce your hag, go to any brothel you want, go sea fishing in Hokkaido, and spend lavishly in Ginza.
Unfortunately, we still have to stay in this small Taiji Town and worry about a group of dolphin lovers.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the local government are one and the same. If they allow the other party to expose everything, especially the financial power, the Metropolitan Police Department cannot sit idly by and watch those guys do whatever they want.
Tonight, dolphin hunting season begins.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga casually picked up the camera on the table. The camera had been torn into pieces, exposing the red, green and yellow wires inside. There were four more of the same kind.
It took several days to find the four cameras, which made the director suspect that his subordinates were a bunch of good-for-nothings.
"How on earth did these guys install it?"
They were clearly under surveillance during the day and in the hotel at night, so how did that group of guys arrange for filming over several nights?
Is there anyone helping them?
Matsumoto Kiyonaga thought he was keeping constant surveillance, but things were still slipping out of his control, especially when Richard and his group suddenly escaped tracking during the day.
Are these people really that powerful?
This was not the first time that Matsumoto Kiyonaga had dealt with this team. Strictly speaking, he had met Richard many times. The confrontation between the two began half a year ago.
The situation in the previous month was most tense. A bloody incident occurred and Matsumoto Kiyonaga helped to cover it up. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not back down, but instead intensified the situation.
How dare you come here without two people?
But there are fewer people, and it’s still the same few people, so how come the same team has become even more powerful?
I really want to find an opportunity to catch them all.
Unfortunately not.
Richard and others asked the embassy to put pressure on us yesterday.
After thinking for a while, Matsumoto Kiyonaga hung up the phone and called back all the previous police officers: "There will be a festival tonight, they will definitely show up. We need to see who is helping them. Don't go back later. We have to work overtime tonight and make sure to catch them in the act!"
The police officers who had just returned to their seats immediately fell in dismay when they heard this.
At night, Mugalen came to Dolphin Bay alone, with the bonfires held high by the villagers reflected in his pupils.
Somewhere deep in the forest, Bifang took out the rabbit that Bernsen had given him.
After thinking about it all day today, Bifang still feels something is wrong. That feeling of hostility does not seem like an illusion.
I hope it's really okay.
Bifang stared at the half shriveled rabbit with a gloomy look.
