"The old man was joking. I don't know much about jade. The rough stone from which the jadeite was cut was left by my grandfather. I accidentally cut it out and found out that there was this piece of jadeite inside."
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, and could only use the deceased old man as an excuse. This feeling was really not good, and he had to tell the story of the diary left by his grandfather again.
"It turns out that Mr. Zhuang is my little brother's grandfather. When I was young, I heard the old man's lecture on the theory of "the relationship between strong hydrothermal activity in the earth's crust and natural jade." This theory was very important to my later research on jade.
It was a great inspiration. From a general perspective, I can be considered Mr. Zhuang’s disciple. After so many years, I didn’t even know that the teacher had passed away..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui announce his grandfather's name, the old man was surprised and stood up quickly to show his respect for the teacher. From the old man's mouth, Zhuang Rui learned that his grandfather was indeed the great geologist Mr. Li Siguang.
student, it turns out that the title given to Teacher Li Siguang in those letters was not just out of respect, but a real master-student relationship between the two.
"Mr. Zhuang's lectures are humorous. He has in-depth research on the geology and landforms of Yunnan in my country, Myanmar, Laos and other places. It was the first time I learned that beautiful jade is mined from stones. It was when I heard about Zhuang I only learned about it after taking the teacher’s class. It can also be said that Teacher Zhuang was the one who led me into the jade industry.
Brother Zhuang is really amazing. Just from the teacher's diary, you can see the direction of the original stone's grain. He cut this piece of jade so perfectly. It's really a mistake, and the teacher can be regarded as a successor."
When Gu Gu heard the news about his teacher from decades ago, he looked quite excited, and his words were somewhat unclear. However, Qin Xuanbing and others could see Gu Gu's admiration for Grandpa Zhuang Rui from his face.
.
"How could I see the texture of the original stone? It's ancient. I just casually cut it right from the edge of the jadeite, and then polished it bit by bit with a grinding wheel. Don't laugh at me."
Zhuang Rui said with a bit of laughter and tears. He dared to say that cutting the stone also made him a grandson of a general. However, he did not dare to take credit. When it came to antique knowledge, he knew the least about jade. If he admitted it, he could just chat for a few words.
, I’m afraid it’s about to leak out.
"According to Teacher Zhuang, we are family friends. I should call you my nephew. Don't underestimate luck. Whether it is antiques or jade, in the process of searching for treasures, eyesight accounts for 20%, and luck is the other."
Accounting for 80%, think about it, these objects that have been passed down for thousands of years can still be left there waiting for you to pick them up. Is it possible without good luck?
Especially when it comes to jade, you should all know that gambling on stones requires a bit of experience, but experience can only account for 20%, and the remaining 80% depends on luck. A rough stone with pine, flower, and python patterns may be
A stone with a dull appearance may come out of a shit field, but it may also come out of a glass field. In addition, the string of dzi beads given to you by the Living Buddha, so, nephew Zhuang Shi, don't underestimate your luck.
"
Gu Gu was very happy today, chatting enthusiastically with several people. What he said was based on experience. Regarding jade, the jade that has been mined can of course be analyzed and concluded based on experience or instruments.
, but like raw jadeite, there is no instrument in the world that can detect whether there is jadeite inside without damaging its appearance. This all depends on luck.
"Damn it, Mu Mu, this piece of trash of yours is actually worth millions? You are so ungrateful that you don't even tell your buddies about such things. I'm telling you, you are really willing to put in the effort to pick up girls."
Liu Chuan heard what the old man said and pulled Lei Lei aside. Only then did he know the true value of the piece of jade. After realizing it, his friends couldn't help but yelled. Zhuang Rui's face turned red and white.
, so embarrassing.
"Liu Chuan, you are a worthless thing. Zhuang Rui can give away millions of jade. What have you given to me? I still pay for shopping in the supermarket. Why do you blame Zhuang Rui?"
Before Zhuang Rui could answer, there was already a fire in Liu Chuan's backyard. Seeing Lei Lei roaring like a lion from Hedong, Liu Chuan apologized again and again. This guy was so shameless that he slapped his chest and insisted on sending him out.
It made everyone laugh.
"If I knew that this small piece of broken stone was worth several million, it would be a matter of course whether I would give it to Qin Xuanbing or not."
Zhuang Rui was muttering angrily in his heart at this moment, but looking at Qin Xuanbing's moved face, he couldn't say this even to death. Zhuang Rui now understands it in his heart. It is estimated that those heroes who saved beauties in the past may have done something to them.
The story of a certain beautiful woman spending huge sums of money may be similar to my own, and she was simply driven to the shelves.
Looking at Qin Xuanbing with a smile on her face and affection in her eyes, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered something and said to Gu Gu: "Old man, I want to ask you something..."
"Don't call me old man. I can't bear it. Just call me uncle. I have met your father before. He is a learned man. It's a pity... Well, if you have anything, just tell me. I can
If you do it, I will naturally help you.”
Before Zhuang Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Gu waving his hand. He could bear it when others called him "old man", but Zhuang Rui was only one generation away from him. Although the title "old man" could also be used, but for the sake of
To show respect for the teacher, Gu asked Zhuang Rui to change his title.
"Uh, Gu...Uncle Gu, it's like this. I'm going back to Zhonghai in a while. Judging from the appearance of the man just now, he should be a local snake here. I'm afraid that after Dachuan and I are gone,
Xuan Bing and the other two girls will suffer. Master, can you help take care of them? With you here, those young people will not dare to make mistakes."
Zhuang Rui's words made Gu Gu stunned at first, and then became angry. He turned back to the middle-aged man behind him and said: "Go and check the details of that kid just now. If he is also in the jade industry, cut off their supply.
Tell those jade merchants to just say it was me and not to supply to this jewelry company."
At this time, the ancientness and majesty of the superior were clearly revealed. In the eyes of Zhuang Rui and others, they suddenly looked strange, as if they were suddenly a different person.
They don’t know that Gu is not only very accomplished in jade identification, but also one of the specially appointed researchers of the Palace Museum. He spends a period of time every year to classify some national treasure-level ancient jades and royal jade seals of past dynasties. He is also very important in jade.
His sculptures are also outstanding, including many dignitaries, who are hard-pressed to find ancient works, and he has made friends with many important figures.
The middle-aged man agreed and turned around to leave. The poor Wang Nian family's company had been hit hard for a long time, and it was still unclear who it had offended. After finding out later that it was Wang Yigun who had done the good deeds, Wang Nian's family
The ugly old man almost broke Wang Cui’s third leg.
"Okay, they don't dare to come back and cause trouble. However, little girl of the Qin family, these jewelry exhibits of yours are of high quality and low quality. It is difficult to make a deal at this exhibition. So, old man, I will help you to the end.
, I will introduce you to a few customers and eat all the goods you have this time. From now on, you have to rely on yourselves, and you are not allowed to use my name."
Although Gu Gu was confident that no one would cause trouble at this booth, Qin Xuanbing and the others didn't have any connections, so it was pointless to stay at this exhibition. For Zhuang Rui's sake, Gu decided to help them. After thinking about it,
Gu Gu continued: "There are ten days in the exhibition, and today is the first day. After you have disposed of this batch of jewelry, we will transfer the booth out. This will save a lot of money."
When Qin Xuanbing and Leilei heard this, they were naturally overjoyed. Originally, the two women were thinking that they would lose all their money at this exhibition. Although they didn't care about the money from participating in the exhibition, it was their first time to be independent.
Planning such a plan ended in failure, and the two girls naturally felt a little depressed. Now the old man's words are nothing less than a timely help.
Gu waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to thank him, then stood up and said to a few people: "Take your jewelry with you, come with me, and introduce a few customers to you, but remember
, don’t use my banner again in the future.”
There was always a smile on Gu Gu's face when he spoke. He could introduce customers to Qin Xuanbing and others, so naturally he would not care about them coming into contact with these customers in the future. They would not need to use his name anymore, and those people would give them some face.
.
"Uncle, I won't go with you. I have to drive back to Zhonghai. When you have time to go to Zhonghai, my nephew will treat you well. Xuan Bing, Lei Lei, we will see you in Zhonghai in a few days."
Zhuang Rui raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already past one in the afternoon. He was driving to Zhonghai now. It would probably be dark when he arrived. Seeing that the matter was successfully resolved, he wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Don't worry, it only takes four or five hours to drive from Nanjing to Zhonghai. You can come too. There are several customers from Chaoshan at this exhibition, bringing some jadeite rough stones from Myanmar. You are so lucky. Come
Take a look, maybe you can give us a surprise."
The ancient words moved Zhuang Rui's heart. This opportunity was rare. He had heard about betting on stones several times, but today he was finally lucky enough to see it. Zhuang Rui immediately gave up the idea of leaving.
The total value of the jewelry that Qin Xuanbing and the others participated in this exhibition was more than 10 million. After hearing Gu Gu's words, she put it in a password box and was carried by Liu Chuan, who followed Gu Gu to the southeast corner of the exhibition hall.
This jade jewelry exhibition is divided into four exhibition halls ABCD, which is very large. The booth of Qin Xuanbing Company is in Hall A. Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan have been very busy from yesterday to now, and have no time to hang out, until they follow the ancient
After arriving at Exhibition Hall D, I realized there was something else going on here.
