Volume 1: The Journey of the Emerald Rough Chapter 68: The simplest move is the most effective way

Ge Jun stepped forward and pulled Wu Shuang up, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, there will always be a way!"

"What else can be done in this situation?"

Wu Shuang's eyes were red, and he said with a crying voice.

"Alas, there is no way to ...... the sky"

Ge Jun tidied up Wu Shuang's slightly messy clothes, smoothed out his messy hair, and said with a smile: "I'm here for everything, don't worry!"

"Hmm!"

When Wu Shuang heard Ge Jun's words, he felt a lot more relieved, but his face was still full of sadness.

With his understanding of Ge Jun, in the past, he would notify him only after he had solved anything.

And now, Ge Jun came to find him as soon as he received the news.

It shows that in the current situation, Ge Jun is also helpless!

Thinking of Ge Jun's methods of turning the tide several times in the past, Wu Shuang was still a lot more down-to-earth.

"Actually, it's hard to say, and it's easy to say. ”

Ge Jun saw that Wu Shuang's mood had stabilized, and said, "The most important thing is to solve the problem of jade delivery!"

"Could it be that Mr. Fei already has a way?"

Wu Shuang's eyes lit up.

"Not yet. ”

Ge Jun shook his head helplessly.

Not only is there no way, it's just helpless!

These five forces have always been somewhat contradictory to each other, even if they are united, they are all suspicious of each other, each has a ghost, and they have reservations about what they do, they are unwilling to contribute more, and they are not even willing to rush forward, they just want to shrink behind their backs and pick up cheap, so that they are all united with small calculations, and they are not afraid at all, and there are also solutions.

But this time was different from the past, they only needed to simply block the road and not let Wu Bang's convoy carrying jade materials pass by.

This kind of thing that doesn't have to have a conflict, doesn't have to worry about consuming their own strength, and at the same time can push Wu Bang into a desperate situation, why wouldn't they do it?

This is a very simple move, and it is also the most effective way, they directly grasped the current Wu Bang's death hole.

Wu Bang is a force established by General Wu Lao in order to protect the nearby residents, and the starting point has always been for the consideration of civilians, and because of this, more and more civilians have come to seek refuge and seek refuge.

In this place where the population can represent the labor force and combat effectiveness, Wu Bang has become more and more powerful with the increase in population, and the fighting strength and economic strength have become stronger and stronger, which has gradually made several surrounding forces panic, for fear that Wu Bang will take the initiative to attack them.

Originally, everyone's strength was about the same, and even Wu Bang was still at the bottom, but as the number of civilians attached to Wu Bang increased, the strength increased explosively in a short period of time, quickly surpassing the strength of the other five, and when they found that one-on-one alone was no longer Wu Bang's opponent, it was already too late.

They had to unite in private, even if the side that came to support was just for show, it was enough!

Because the rules of the Southern Federation are not allowed to involve more than two forces in a war, as long as it is found that it is not one-on-one, and there is a fight, no matter which side wins or loses in the end, the other hundreds of forces under the Southern Federation as long as they are not involved will send armed forces to gather together to directly suppress and eliminate the illegal forces!

However, Wu Bang has never taken the initiative to attack any of the forces in line with the principle of peaceful coexistence and only to protect the civilians below.

However, others don't think like this, when everyone is equally powerful, although there is often friction between each other, they are still harmonious, and they are not tense.

When he found out that Wu Bang had surpassed them and had the strength to destroy any of them effortlessly, he immediately felt that Wu Bang was in a big trouble, and wished that Wu Bang would perish as soon as possible!

In the past, the ore veins in the hands of the major forces belonged to their own early possession, and how much they mined belonged to them, so they didn't have to worry about financial problems at all, even if the jade material sent out was directly intercepted, it would not be in the way.

Now the forces in this area are facing the situation of depletion of ore veins, and they can only compete for ore veins from the hands of the Southern Federation, and only by obtaining new ore veins can they continue to survive, which has completely become an economic war, which is a real fight for deposits.

The jade material can't be exported, it can't be realized, and the lack of funds means that it is not even qualified to compete for new mining rights!

"Or ...... I'll also take someone to stop their convoy transporting jade, or just grab it?"

Hong Ying's eyes lit up and he proposed.

"It's useless!"

Ge Jun sighed, shook his head and said, "It's useless to rob it, not to mention that they will definitely not use a convoy to transport jade materials now!"

Hong Ying seemed to have thought about something, and suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

Wu Shuang also sighed gloomily.

They all understand the problem now!

At the request of his old friend, General Wu tried to send some materials to the Southern Federation for public sale at a very early stage, and later saw that the profit of the public market was almost the same as the price directly handed over to the jade merchants, in order to save trouble, and did not want to fool people with bad jade materials, General Wu directly cut off the contact with all the jade merchants, and handed over all the jade materials on the mine to the Southern Federation for bulk sale in the form of public market.

The competition between jade merchants is also very fierce, sometimes in order to show their status and strength in the industry, sometimes even if they buy a piece of good material that others do not have at a high price and take it back to put it on the façade, it can also drive the turnover speed and value of other jade materials in his hands, even if it cannot improve the value of other jade materials, at least when people see that they have good materials that no one else has, they dare not cut too hard.

Some jade merchants do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send people to wait in the mining area, as long as the mining area digs out good materials, it is good to take it at the first time!

General Wu put all the material on the public plate and cut off contact with them, which undoubtedly made them have to seek other mining areas.

Of course, several surrounding forces do not refuse these jade merchants who come to the door, and even receive them happily, and I wish that the more jade merchants who come to the door, the better!

At the beginning, the materials they gave to these jade merchants were still decent, at most they only divided a piece of rough stone with good performance from the ribbon position in two, so that both sides of the facet looked full of green illusions.

But in the back, it seems that these jade merchants have been decided, and the price of the rough stone depends on the material, and it directly becomes the price according to the performance of the window opening position.

For example, a piece of jadeite rough, the window position is green, but the whole stone looks cracked, and the weathered shell also shows poor internality, at the beginning will be according to the rough stone to show the situation to the real price, let the jade merchant carefully look at the rough stone, and then make a counteroffer, but to the back, directly become according to the whole rough stone is full of green to offer, as for the jade merchant also wants to see the other performance and characteristics on the rough stone before counteroffering, then sorry, the time is up, not allowed to continue to see!

This practice of not allowing the jade to look closely at the rough stone makes the jade dealer miserable, and often the counter-offer is too high because he cannot judge the value, and the rough stone he buys back is often lost.

However, in order to get first-hand materials, there is an opportunity to seize the opportunity, and the operation of buying high and selling high, even if the profit becomes low, there is still a lot of profit during the period.

This jade material is only available to other people, not to mention that people still have armed forces, can they not compromise?

Unless you don't do it yourself, but in the face of the profits inside, who is willing to give up? Who is willing to give up?

Due to the increasing cost of jade merchants to buy rough stones, and the cost of raw stones according to the whole batch of materials to spread or directly quote a high price, resulting in the price of jadeite in the entire market, from wool to finished products, regardless of quality, the price has increased several times at once!

Coupled with the decreasing number of good materials mined in the mining area, the soaring price of jadeite raw materials has forced jade merchants to think of various solutions.

From the procurement of jade materials, to the carving and processing of jade, to the trade and retail, people in each link have been forced to come up with countless methods.

In order to reduce costs, some of them have come up with a perfect way to transform the flaws of jadeite, starting from the processing link, using some very poor materials, using skillful carving, avoiding or covering the cracks on the jadeite, highlighting the color on the jadeite, and turning the original flaws of the jadeite into advantages.

Use the rich imagination of the carver to design these imperfections into beauty, and turn the imperfections in the jadeite into the finishing touch of the work.

The most famous is the snowflake cotton made of snowflake cotton material to return to people on a snowy night.

Before it became a masterpiece, it was just a piece of jadeite that was considered a waste material in the industry, with a dead black base, only a slight edge, and covered with patches of cotton.

In the eyes of insiders, it is a low-grade commodity that does not enter the stream, so people disdain it and don't look down on it at all.

Yang Shuming, a member of the Huaxia Middle School in charge of jade processing, is a carver himself, and he saw a jade merchant processing this kind of leftover material one day when he was wandering around, so he bought one for 100 Huaxia coins.

Looking at the water of this jade material itself, it is not good, and there are many dense small spots and impurities, which are called "rice core" and "cotton" in the industry, and I am worried for a while, and I don't know how to carve it well.

After buying this piece of material, he left it idle for a year.

One day, Yang Shuming thought of the sentence in the Tang poem, "Chaimen smells the dog barking, and returns to the people on a snowy night", and suddenly came to inspiration, so he raised the knife and carved it against this piece of material.

After nearly two years, the amazing carving of this piece of material, he turned the original impurities on the material into the wind and snow fluttering in the sky, and at the same time, according to the color difference of the material, it is also clever to show the tree and the old man with a hat, as well as the mountain are vividly displayed in front of many jade lovers.

This carved jadeite vividly expresses the artistic conception in Tang poetry.

Later, a friend of his spent 20,000 yuan in Huaxia coins to get this excellent work from him.

This piece of waste, which was originally 100 yuan, has also completed the first gorgeous transformation of 200 times.

Later, the work was auctioned at an auction house in Xiangjiang, and after half an hour of fierce bidding, it was finally bought by a wealthy merchant for 3.6 million Chinese coins!

A piece of scrap bought back for 100 yuan, and the finished product was finally sold at a high price of 3.6 million, from 100 to 3,600,000, this piece of waste turned over gorgeously, and rose 36,000 times.

This is probably the legend with the largest increase in value in the jade and jade industry, and there is no one!

Yang Shuming completed the perfect transformation of this disliked waste, and thus became a generation of jade carving masters.

Later, Yang Shuming, his jade carving works have won various gold medals, and have been collected by many collectors around the world, and was awarded the title of "Chinese jade carving master" by the Asian Jewelry Federation.

I have to marvel at the magic of jadeite!

A piece of jadeite, which was originally full of flaws, can be transformed into a rare work under the creation of a jade carver.
