"This... this... boy is not worthy of this title..."
Zhuang Rui was a little overwhelmed by the sudden shout. In the past, when he heard others rumoring that he was the "Emerald King", Zhuang Rui always smiled and didn't take it to heart.
But now dozens of people shouted in unison, and the feeling of being respected by others made Zhuang Rui, who had always been calm, feel a little bit elated.
This is not to say that Zhuang Rui will become arrogant, but this "Jade King" will undoubtedly add a lot of aura to Zhuang Rui, which means that he will have a unique position in the jade and jade industry in the future.
As soon as Zhuang Rui finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Teacher Zhuang, you deserve it. Just by extracting the imperial green from this piece of material with no performance, you are the well-deserved Jade King!"
Each industry has its own culture and a positioning to measure its professionalism. Whatever achievements you make in this industry will be respected accordingly.
For example, Mr. Gu is called a member of the "Southern Wu Bei Gu", which shows his unshakable position in the jade carving industry. Even if ordinary jade is used, objects carved by Gu Tianfeng are still valuable.
Not cheap.
The Jade Prince of Xinjiang has almost monopolized the Hotan nephrite market in China. In a matter of seconds, it can cause turmoil in the domestic nephrite market, not to mention its status in the world.
As for the world of antiques, calligraphy and painting, Fatty Jin’s teacher is also a figure like Mount Tai and Beidou. From high-ranking government officials to businessmen, everyone is proud to own a handwriting of the master.
Mr. Tang, who is currently in the field, has been in the jade shop all his life and has earned the title of "Emerald King". It can almost be said that he has the Midas touch to gold. Even ordinary rough stones can be worth a hundred times after his evaluation. This is "
The effect brought by the title "Emerald King".
The people mentioned above are all top figures in their respective circles. They have spent almost their whole life's energy and hard work to achieve their current achievements.
Although Zhuang Rui had been successful in the antique shop before, he still lacked qualifications, and the few good things he bought were still slightly insufficient compared to the above-mentioned people, and he could not be compared with a few of them.
But now the emergence of this king jade, which has never appeared in the history of stone gambling, has suddenly pushed Zhuang Rui to the top of the jade industry.
With this piece of material that can be called the King of Jade, Zhuang Rui's status in the stone gambling circle and the jade shop can no longer be shaken. Even compared with Mr. Tang, it is not inferior.
Moreover, it only took Zhuang Rui a few years to reach this point and stand at the pinnacle of this industry. Compared with him, those other people are all old and fading away.
Therefore, Zhuang Rui's future achievements should be far more than just one. Everyone is convinced that Zhuang Rui will be able to create more miracles and interpret more legendary stories!
"Xiaozhuang, it's a good thing to have an outstanding young man like you in the jade shop. In the future, we should pay more attention to things in the circle, and if we can, we should also help those who are shopping for treasure overseas..."
Looking at Zhuang Rui's young and energetic face, Mr. Tang felt a sense of relief from a heavy burden. Having been called the Jade King for decades, the old man also felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
Life is full of grass and autumn, and we cannot escape from the laws of nature. One day, we will grow old. Mr. Tang has left many legends for Jade Walk. Now that he sees a successor, he is full of joy.
Mr. Tang suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhuang Rui, and said: "By the way, there is a Jade Research Promotion Association in our jade shop in Xiaozhuang. It was initiated by me, the old man, and I have been the president for more than 20 years.
, I think it will be up to you to be the president from now on, and I can enjoy peace and happiness..."
This promotion association is composed of some domestic geologists and jade merchants. Every year, these merchants provide a certain amount of funds to allow experts to conduct research on the types and properties of jade. Over the years, many projects have been completed.
It is very influential in the domestic jade circle.
Although Zhuang Rui had a good reputation in the past, his time in the industry was too short and he did not participate in the promotion association. However, his father-in-law Qin Haoran was a member, and Zhuang Rui also knew what kind of organization the promotion association was.
"Mr. Tang, I..."
Zhuang Rui woke up and waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't know what to say. Being put on a pedestal made Zhuang Rui feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, if you become the president, no one will be dissatisfied. It's settled. In fact, there aren't many things going on in the promotion association. You just have a title...
Well...after we return to China, we will hold an industry meeting and introduce you to the members from various places. But let's get down to the point first. The president is doing voluntary labor without any salary..."
Mr. Tang didn't wait for Zhuang Rui to say more, and waved his hand to finalize the matter. Zhuang Rui was a little dumbfounded. He was so busy with work and study, how could he have time to manage any promotion association?
"Okay, old man, you are trying to catch a duck..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly. These days there are people who buy and sell by force, but here is someone who forces himself to be the leader?
Zhuang Rui found that these old men liked to forcefully arrange things. The old man first got himself a director of the Jade Association, but the old man Tang went even further and directly gave himself the position of president.
"Xiao Rui, let's talk about this later. It's too late today. Let's leave first..."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui wanted to refuse, Qin Haoran pulled Zhuang Rui from behind. The onlookers had almost finished looking at the imperial green jade material, and after saying goodbye to Zhuang Rui, they got on the organizing committee's bus.
Mr. Tang stayed in the hotel. After packing up the purple-eyed emeralds, he got into another vehicle specially arranged by the organizing committee under the escort of soldiers. This is the benefit of fame.
As for Zhuang Rui and others, they got into Hu Rong's car, and the two pieces of jadeite were held by Peng Fei and Li Zhen respectively, which was not surprising.
…
"Dad, why did you pull me in just now? You also know that I can't even take care of my own business, so how can I have time to do anything about the promotion association?"
After Zhuang Rui got in the car, he complained to his father-in-law. He was telling the truth. After going to school for the past two years, Zhuang Rui focused almost all his energy on his studies and field archeology. He had not been to antique shops or museums for a long time.
.
Especially after recently acquiring the cruise ship, Zhuang Rui yearned for freedom and was preparing to go to the Atlantic Ocean to salvage those unknown sunken treasures. He had previously surveyed the coordinate points of many sunken ships.
"You kid, although this promotion association is not official, it has a very good reputation in the industry. Even ordinary jewelers can't join if they want to. It's outrageous to give you a president for free and still push back. It's outrageous..."
Although Qin Haoran was very satisfied with his son-in-law's performance, he still scolded Zhuang Rui with a straight face. He was only an ordinary member in this guild, but Zhuang Rui actually disliked the position of the president.
You must know that the members of this promotion association are almost all the largest jewelry companies in the country. Its nature is a bit like the G14 league composed of European football giants. Although it is private, it has great influence.
In many cases, the market pricing of domestic jade jewelry and the distribution of shares in each province are negotiated and resolved in the guild. In the past, Qin Haoran was alone, but when his son-in-law became the president, he would naturally have more words to say.
Quan, of course, made Zhuang Rui agree.
"But...but I really don't have time..."
Zhuang Rui is not very interested in doing business now. Even if he understands the benefits, he still has no interest. Besides, he is just a jewelry store. What the hell does it matter to him to regulate these things?
"In fact, there aren't many things for you, the president, to do here. It's just attending industry conferences twice a year. Xiao Rui, no matter what, you must agree to this..."
Qin Haoran showed off his father-in-law's power, and Zhuang Rui could only surrender. Who could he have trouble with? Zhuang Rui didn't dare to have trouble with his wife, his father, his son, his grandfather, right?
Now Zhuang Rui understands why many people in society have endless meetings and entertainments. Even he now has many meetings every year.
The museum participates in the National Museum Work Conference every year. The website alliance established by Zhuang Rui also has activities every year. As for the Jade Association, although Zhuang Rui has not been to the meeting, invitations are sent to him every year.
In addition, there is the automobile sales company of which he is the chairman. There is an annual meeting every year, and now there is an Jade Research Promotion Association. Zhuang Rui simply has too many lice and is not itching. At best, he can find someone to attend on his behalf.
"By the way, brother, look...you can't use these two pieces of material, right?"
After the son-in-law finished talking about the matter, Hu Rong turned around. The smile on his face made Zhuang Rui feel cold. He had never seen such a flattering look on Brother Hu?
"Brother Hu, why don't we come here? If you have anything to say, just say it..." Zhuang Rui knew that Hu Rong had his eye on these two pieces of jade.
"Hehe, brother, you also know that these companies in Southeast Asia have just opened and they don't have any good works to sell in the store. Give me some of these two pieces of material so that I can have a few items in the store.
ah……"
Although Hu Rong is known as the jade tycoon, to be honest, he really doesn't have many top-quality jadeite in his hands. Basically, only ice jadeite is the best, and glass jadeite with green color is very rare.
"Xiao Hu, don't worry about this material. It's just a small amount of material. I have hundreds of stores around the world. Where can I use it?"
Before Zhuang Rui decided whether to give Hu Rongyun some materials, Qin Haoran disagreed at first.
Are you kidding me? Let’s not mention the imperial green material that can only be found at auctions. After being made into jewelry, the glass-green jadeite can be used as a treasure in any jewelry store.
