[The Golden Eyes]
[Episode 20]
Why do I feel that as a whole,
this place lacks the imposing manner found in the jadeite markets of China?
That's right. In Myanmar,
such emporiums are common occurrences as far as the people are concerned.
Over here, they do not require any high class locations or ambiance to act as the background.
As a result, there are many trade markets and such.
Compared to our country, it appears very modest.
When you are choosing jadeite in random places here in Myanmar,
you may not get good ones. But, all those which you see in the emporium are guaranteed to be top quality.
Other places can't be compared with it.
So many big companies in our country choose to come here.
All they want is to reap better harvest
in the emporium,
in order to ensure that their company has sufficient jadeite stock.
This is a harp found only in Myanmar.
It is evolved from the phoenix-head Chinese harp of the Tang Dynasty.
I never imagined that you also did quite a lot of research on harps.
Miss, Mr. Qin asked that you two go over there now. The auction is starting soon.
Let's go.
Please.
These few rough stones
are the most important in this auction.
You are looking at them so carefully. You must be an expert.
No. No. I only came here to see the world and have an enriching experience.
What a coincidence. I also came here to see the world.
I'm a stranger to all these. I don't understand anything at all.
I don't even know which one to buy even though I have money.
How about that? Can you give a suggestion?
I wouldn't dare to give any suggestion casually.
I'm afraid it might affect your judgment.
Just speak casually.
Just tell me, among these few that you have seen, which is the most pleasing to you?
Actually, all these stones are from the old craters of famous mines. They are all not bad.
I can see that many people are looking at 303.
Correct. The performance of 303 is not bad.
Whether it's from the base or skin,
or from crystallization and transparency, it is top grade.
You can say that you're half guaranteed in gambling with it.
There are so many professionals present here. I'm sure there will be a fierce competition.
If I buy it, how much profit can I make?
This... is hard to tell. I reckon the powerful people present here
will all make a bid for it.
The starting bid price could be around 70 million. ($10,5 million USD)
Sky-high price.
But if you are here just for the fun,
you can bid for the others.
I'll listen to you. I'll go and look at the others.
A warm welcome again to all our distinguished guests for being here in the rough stone auction of our emporium.
Next on display are the five rough stones
that our emporium meticulously selected for all of you.
We invite our guests to come up to the front to look at them.
[Myanmar Jade and Gems Emporium]
How is it?
I have already looked at these stones earlier.
They are all the old-crater types from famous mines.
Whether it's the base, skin, or crystallization and transparency,
they are all not bad, especially 303.
It's performance is very good.
But, if we are going to bid, I suggest that we bid—
Let's go outside and talk.
There are too many miscellaneous people inside. We have to be more careful.
It is still Uncle Qin who is more thorough.
Okay, continue speaking.
If we are going to bid, go for No.129.
I have an impression of that stone. It's that stone with dark color.
Correct.
But, the performance of the external skin of that stone is not outstanding.
Yes, that stone looks very ordinary.
But, the external surface is full of black moss.
There is a crack in the center.
On the polished surface of the crack, there is purple haze.
The color of the purple haze has a bit of yellow in it.
What does that represent?
I had opened up a stone which contained purple jadeite in the past.
In the purple haze, the crystals contained a yellow color.
That is to say, there is a great possibility that we would be able to open up a stone that contains top quality purple jadeite.
Because, when I opened that stone which contained purple jadeite, I observed this very seriously.
So I don't think I'm wrong.
How is it compared to No. 303?
They are equally excellent.
Perhaps,
it is even better.
Dad, Zhuang Rui's judgment has always been right.
Okay. It is No.129 then. Add five times to the bottom price.
No. 303 could be the focal point of the auction.
With such a classic type of good rough stone, based on its performance,
it's not a matter of whether someone would bet or not anymore.
It is a matter of how much one is willing to pay for it.
The price would definitely be pushed very high.
Even though the profit margin might be diminished,
the security factor is still quite high.
That piece, No. 185...
What do you think about No.129?
Actually, I am planning to introduce them piece by piece to you.
Since you mentioned No.129, let's talk about it then.
I looked at it carefully just now. It's value is not great.
Boss, you are the expert.
Every year, you will always dominate the first place in the auction.
I saw that you kept looking at No.129 earlier.
Did you have any new discovery?
Why don't I look carefully at it again?
I did look at it carefully earlier.
But I was looking at a person, not the stone.
Since you have already said so,
then we will attack No. 303 with full force.
Understand.
The free bidding time of jade and gems auction in this Myanmar Emporium
would be coming to an end soon.
Could the guests who have yet to make any bids catch hold of the last few moments.
Once the time has ended, no more bidding will be allowed.
Go and take a look.
The time for free bidding has come to an end.
We will open the bids in a short while.
No, Feifei, whatever it is, you are the flower of the police.
What kind of aesthetic judgment do you have? Look at the picture you took of me!
I look so ugly! Look!
It's already not bad that I managed to take a photo of you looking like a straight man. Okay?
Let me tell you this. Don't make personal attacks.
Let me tell you, everyday—
Hey! Hey! Thief!
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Catch that thief!
Don't let him get away!
Catch him! Catch that thief!
Come back!
Thank you.
How do you prove that it belongs to you?
Turn on the phone and scan my face.
- Say thank you. - Thank you.
You are welcome. Are you from China?
Hello. I'm Hu Wen.
- Hello. - Hello, I'm Miao Feifei.
- Hello. - He is...
- ...not important. - Huangfu Yun.
What are the two of you doing here?
We are just wandering around.
What you're doing is too dangerous.
How about this? I'll bring the two of you to tour around.
I'm fine with it.
- Okay. - Let's go.
That thief earlier—
- I will surely beat him up if I caught him. - You are always making trouble.
Go that way.
Please quiet down. Next, we are going to open the bids.
No. 405. The successful bid price is
37 million. ($5,6 million USD) The successful bidder is
JK Jewelry.
No. 129.
The successful bid price is 53 million. ($7,9 million USD)
The successful bidder is Xihuang Jewelry Group.
No 303. The successful bid price is
90,5 million. ($13,5 million USD) The successful bidder is
Hu Jewelry Group.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Hu Jewelry Group for winning the title of Bid King in this round of auction.
I never thought that you would want to open the stone on the spot.
I trust your judgment.
If we open the stone and it really contains purple jadeite,
then, Xihuang Jewelry would surely be able to show
extraordinary splendor in this emporium.
Ready. Begin the cut.
Congratulations! It is a piece of purple jadeite!
Unique and extraordinary judgment!
My goodness! They actually managed to open a stone with purple jadeite!
It's icy.
The color looks elegant, too.
The one that no one wanted, No.129,
actually was a purple jadeite.
The estimated market price of that would be more than 100 million. ($15 million USD)
Not only that.
If it's made into jewelry, the price will turn over tons of times.
This time, Boss Qin has such good luck.
Luck? I think he just found the right person to help him.
They are going to make a lot of money.
Thank you for you help today. You really know how to run.
No problem. Did you have fun?
If it wasn't for you, we won't even know where to shop.
Having a local as a guide is the best.
It was really a rewarding journey.
Boss, give me a coconut.
Are you sure that Liu Jia will like the stuff that you just bought?
You should trust my judgment.
Hey, Hu Wen. Why not have a meal with us?
Talk to me more about Myanmar's...
...special items that's good for gifts.
- Today? - Yes.
Why don't you guys come to my family's manor tomorrow?
The scenery there is really good.
Sure! Sure! A manor. I've never been to a manor in Myanmar before.
But is it okay if I bring two more friends along?
Of course. I'll arrange for a car to pick you up tomorrow then.
Why did you agree so carelessly?
- Zhuang Rui doesn't necessarily have spare time. - Really?
These past few days, he's been frozen by that iceberg.
Iceberg? What iceberg?
What other iceberg could it be? Iceberg. (Because of the word 'bing' in Xuanbing's name, which means ice)
Oh, that... My friend
got frozen by an iceberg. He might not be able to come.
The other friend, as soon as he came to Myanmar,
he's been downcast and grumpy. I think it's unlikely that he'll go.
But us two will go. Don't worry.
- Okay. Let's agree on that then. If there isn't anything else, I'll be going first. - Okay.
- I'll arrange for a car to pick you up tomorrow. - Okay.
- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Who said you could carelessly agree on my behalf?
Did I say I'd go?
I think I smell a sour scent.
That's because your coconut water is spoiled.
Eat some of this.
- I'm not eating. - It's really tasty.
Brother, it's been so many years.
I didn't think that I'll come back to the place where you left the world.
I hope that you rest in peace.
- This time, I really have to give you— - Congratulations! Congratulations!
You actually opened a violet. That's limitless glory.
What are you saying? Lady Hu obtained
the Bid King for the emporium again. You're the one whom everyone is paying attention to.
Boss Hu? You're Boss Hu?
Then... Then earlier...
Youngster, your eyesight is comparable to the old and keen ones.
It's a shame I didn't listen to you.
I slipped by the opportunity to get a beautiful jade.
What is it? Do you already know each other?
Just earlier, when Boss Hu and I were looking at stones together,
she... No, I didn't expect her to be such a good person.
Lady Hu is exactly like this, always acting so mysterious.
Zhuang Rui, don't treat her like an outsider.
I originally wanted to introduce you to each other at the banquet last night
But, Lady Hu is very busy and was unable to make time for it.
I'm sorry. I truly was busy yesterday.
What about this? I'll hold a banquet especially for you at my manor tomorrow.
Such bad timing. I have a meeting with some clients tomorrow and won't be able to make time for it.
You've already opened a purple jadeite.
Are you planning to still eat other raw materials?
Recently, the supply of jade locally can't meet with the demand.
Xihuang Jewelry can't compare to you.
You have your own jade mine.
Hence, I must work harder
to stock up on jade materials.
This young man, do you have any interest in touring
my jade mine?
I...
You don't need to worry about that. Brother Qin here is a magnanimous man.
It won't prevent you from making friends with others. Am I right?
Zhuang Rui, Boss Hu likes you so she's inviting you for a tour.
It's good if you took a look at it.
I really haven't seen a jade mine before, so...
Good. Tomorrow, I'll send a car to get you.
Thank you then.
Miss Qin, here is your harp.
I didn't bid for this harp.
Zhuang Rui!
I noticed that you were interested in this harp, so I bought it for you.
My friend told me that when you possess what you desire, then you possess happiness.
I agree to the latter part of the statement,
so I hope you will have happiness with this harp.
I never thought you can be so attentive.
Hope you like it.
Thank you.
Xiao Rui!
Listen, don't casually ask someone to take pictures for you in Myanmar. It's dangerous.
Why? What kind of trouble did you get into this time?
What trouble did I cause? I almost got robbed of my cellphone!
Luckily, the heavens intervened and I ended up meeting a beautiful girl.
Nothing happened. Don't listen to his nonsense.
How did it go today?
It went well. We were lucky.
We were lucky? Zhuang Rui, you are being too humble.
The purple jade we got today is extremely valuable.
I am just thankful for the trust that you and Mr. Qin have towards me.
Nobody can beat our Zhuang Rui.
I am still grateful to you. Without your excellent insight,
we would not have gotten that purple jade.
It had not been easy to find jade of such good quality in the gemstone market within the last few years.
Thank you.
Most of all, I want to thank you
for the harp.
I really like it.
My father does not want me to waste my time and energy on anything not related to work.
So I am grateful for your gift.
No need to thank me. I think the harp is meant for you.
I am just happy to help it find its rightful owner.
To me, the harp is more valuable than the purple jade.
Xiao Yun, those expensive stuff that I bought today,
where are they? Did you put them back?
Regarding those expensive stuff that you bought today,
I've already asked the attendant to deliver it to your room.
Don't worry.
Oh, right. I met that Myanmar's big jade boss today.
She invited me to visit her house
and she can even take us to see her jade mine.
So, if you are interested, let's go together.
Jade mine? Sure!
I've never seen a jade mine before.
I still have to accompany my father for some business socialization tomorrow.
I won't be able to go. It'll be so boring if Zhuang Rui goes alone. Why don't you guys go, too?
- Let's go together. - We have plans for tomorrow, right?
- We don't have time. - Right. We don't have time.
You don't have time? What are you two doing?
What? Only you can have friends here in Myanmar? Only you can be busy?
Can't we also have new friends in Myanmar?
Tomorrow, we're going to visit her house. Am I right?
You're going, too?
Yeah. We already agreed to it.
Okay. Then I can only ask Peng Fei to go with me.
Where did you go off to play yesterday?
I didn't go play. I went to pray to the Buddha.
Oh, adapting to local customs.
Oh, right. I want to ask you, did you meet that friend of yours yesterday?
That's none of your business. Can't we make other friends?
No. No. My main point is, what's your friend's name?
Your heart only has Miss Qin. Can you still accommodate other people's name?
You can't say it like that.
You see, Huangfu Yun is a good name.
Peng Fei is a good name.
Miao Feifei, isn't it such a pretty name?
The car's here.
We'll go first.
Xiao Rui.
I didn't expect that you two would arrive so quickly.
I didn't think so, either!
- This is your house? - Yes.
It's pretty nice. Seems like your family is like us, also rich folks.
You speak in such an interesting manner.
- Hot spring? - Yes.
How is it? Are you tired?
If you're not tired, I'll take you guys to look around.
Sure. Let's just meander around.
Let's start with our house.
Not far from here is my family's jade mine.
After we finish eating, let's go over there.
Jade mine?
Sure! Sure!
Feifei. Sit.
I'll go pour you some water.
No need! No need for such trouble.
Was the ride here all right?
Later, I'll let my daughter Wen Wen tour you around our backyard.
- Wen Wen. - Mom.
Why are you guys here?
I should be asking you that.
Why are you here?
Mom, these are my two friends.
Hello, Aunt.
Yesterday, I heard Wen Wen said that her friends will be touring the mine.
I didn't think that you all knew each other.
Stop talking while standing.
Let's sit and talk. Here, please sit.
This is Mr. Zhuang Rui.
- Hi. - My daughter, Wen Wen.
- Hello. - Hello.
I didn't think that you kids would be interested in jade mines.
The path to the jade mine is difficult to walk and the scenery is bad. You'll be disappointed.
They won't be. I've grown up in the jade mine area. I know where to have fun.
Feifei, later, I'll take you there.
In the earlier Myanmar Emporiums,
a huge proportion of rough stones were obtained here.
Our Hu family became rich because of jade mining.
But these past two years, the mines have almost been emptied.
We're also facing a shift in the jewelry we make.
Oh, right. Later, I'll introduce someone to you.
He's also an exploration expert,
a great meritorious employee of our Hu family.
I believe that you two would immediately get along.
It's my honor to learn from my seniors.
I know who he is. The only person that my mother thought so highly of would be Old Zhou.
What Old Zhou?
So disrespectful.
Uncle Zhou doesn't mind. Only you are so old-fashioned.
Zhuang Rui, let me make the introduction.
Chairman Hu.
This is the person I mentioned.
Our Hu family's great meritorious employee, Old Zhou.
He used to be a college geology professor.
Back in the days, I spent a lot of effort to invite him out.
Professor Zhou, hello.
What professor?
That's all in the past.
Little Zhuang, just call me Old Zhou.
No. No.
This... Then, I'll call you Uncle Zhou. Uncle Zhou.
Okay. Call me whatever makes you happy.
Little Zhuang, I heard from Chairman Hu
that you are very knowledgeable regarding jades and antiques.
You've really impressed her.
In all these years, it's my first time hearing her praise someone so much.
You're young. Your future is limitless.
No, no, Chairman Hu, you're overpraising me.
Actually, I still need to learn more from my seniors.
In here, just feel at home.
Chairman Hu, please check these test results.
This data...
Say, Miss Hu, you should have warned me beforehand.
If I knew that I'd be visiting the Hu family, shouldn't I have dressed more formally?
Don't be so nervous. Just treat here like it's your own house.
What? This...
My own house?
This? It was taken when I was three or four years old.
Back then, my mom was busy with work.
The days that I could see her were scarce to the point that I could count them out.
Whenever I missed her, I'd look at these pictures.
My dad died early.
To give me a better life, my mom then put all her energy into her work.
When I was young, I really didn't understand her.
But now, I do.
I just wish that she wouldn't tire herself out so much.
But she always says that if she doesn't keep busy,
she'll feel uncomfortable all over.
I feel like your relationship is so nice.
Isn't that so? Oh, right. Let's stop chatting about that.
I still haven't asked you.
Ask me what?
That Zhuang Rui earlier,
was he the the Zhuang Rui that you said was frozen by an iceberg?
No, he isn't. They just have the same name. You're overthinking.
That's not what you said earlier!
What did she say again?
You two were the ones chatting. How would I know?
Oh, the rising star of the precious gems world,
a reliable person, top notched standards.
Say, for such an outstanding peer,
why not let my mom develop him?
Jeez, being a rising star is too dazzling.
There's a line of people waiting to develop him.
That's right. Then, why not use this opportunity
and help push Feifei and Zhuang Rui together?
- Yeah. - Huangfu Yun!
What? What's wrong?
This is...
This is a map of the entire mine area.
Our Hu family only has the rights to mine in one portion.
Here are two supply lines.
Old Zhou and I have already done explorations at a few points for half a year.
Right, Old Zhou, have the results of the exploration come out yet?
The data of the LCMS (Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry)
and grain tests
have all come out.
How is it?
It didn't work again.
Chairman Hu, I still need to wait for a batch of data and look it over.
Who knows? We might be able to find something.
Old Zhou is a good person.
Let him take you to look around the mine area.
You guys can exchange ideas some more.
Wasn't Wen Wen going to take you to have some fun around the mine area?
She must be so happy for many friends came.
You guys should play well. We'll talk later.
Chairman Hu, you're such a good person.
The road to the mine area isn't easy to go through. You should be careful and pay attention to your safety.
I can't do it anymore.
Are we here? Stop! Stop!
Are you okay? Is it that bad?
Hey, are you okay?
The roads to the mine area is really bumpy. Getting carsick is normal.
Why is this Kachin Hills Valley sealed off?
For the past 2 years, a lot of mysterious happenings have happened here.
They said that there might be dirty things (ghosts/evil spirits) in there.
So, my mom sent an order to close it off.
You guys believe even that?
I heard the workers say
that last year, a few youngsters went in there to go hunting.
After ten days, only one person came out.
He also started to act crazy.
He kept saying that there's this man-eating beast in there
with those pointy decaying teeth.
It could snap a person's neck with one bite.
And they said that this type of wild beast especially liked to attack people sitting on the ground.
You... Stop saying it!
I seem to sense that I've already been bitten.
- It hurts so much! Why? - No.
You've been sitting on this rock for so long. You've only realized it now?
This rock...
What is it? Did my butt just sat on a high grade jadeite?
It really is.
Are you joking? Really?
This really is a pretty good piece of purple jade.
With a size like this, you wouldn't be able to make it into anything.
You can save it as a souvenir.
God has opened his eyes!
This means that I will become a wealthy person soon!
You don't feel like throwing up anymore?
This was picked up at the Hu family's territory. What does it have to do with you?
Miss Hu, I think that this stone
is my lucky stone. Say a price.
If it weren't for Brother Zhuang Rui that noticed it was a piece of jade,
it would be just normal rock from the mountains.
If you like it, of course, you can take it away.
But I don't think our family has ever produced purple jade before.
Where did it come from?
How far is this place from the mining area?
Not far.
Then, let's see when we arrive at the mine.
Okay.
