Chapter 24: The Stone Edge
"In the sixties of the last century, Luoyan Mountain began to mine dragon pattern stone, sent to southern Henan, northern Hubei and Zhijiang for the production of phosphate fertilizer, dragon pattern stone contains hibiscus jade, but it did not attract attention at that time, and it was used as a leftover material for making phosphate fertilizer,...... Now the stones in the Xin River are washed down from Luoyan Mountain in the rain......"
The car was speeding on the highway, and soon went out of the Pingzhou boundary and drove onto the Qinwan Expressway, Liao Xiangting sat in the back of the car, talking very interestedly and interestedly.
"In the 80s, Shen Yuzhang, the mine manager of Dongshan Mine at that time, invited two engineers from the Provincial Geological Museum to survey the Luoyan Dongshan Mining Area, which is now a section of Furong Street, and rediscovered and confirmed the Furong jade. ”
"Shen Yuzhang was a capable person at that time, and later established the Pingzhou Jade Carving Factory," Liao Xiangting's eyes looked at the boundless sea outside the car window, and the golden sunlight shone on the sea, sparkling, "But at that time, hibiscus jade was not taken seriously, and there was no suitable way to publicize, and the sales of hibiscus jade have been tepid......"
"At that time, I was still working as an officer in the Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee, and I remembered that a car of hibiscus jade rough stones, which weighed almost 3 tons, could be sold for more than 300 yuan according to the quality of the rough stones, and a bracelet carved from good hibiscus jade could be sold for 10 yuan......"
"In the 90s, the efficiency of the southern phosphate fertilizer plant was not good, and the amount of dragon stone mined decreased,...... The sales of hibiscus jade were not opened, and the jade carving factory was also contracted to individuals during this period...... By the late nineties, the jade carving factory was completely private......"
"Now that the economy is developing, the people have money in their hands, and it is time for Furong Yu to change its head. Wang Xiaoshu turned around and echoed Liao Xiangting.
"I heard that in the past two days, the people of Furong Street and Xinzhai Street have been like demons, and they have gone to the river to find jade with flashlights at night. Liao Xiangting's driver was driving the car and couldn't help but interject.
"Well, there are flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall," Liao Xiangting said, "Has the news on the Internet been printed?"
"Printed out. Wang Xiaoshu smiled and took out a few pieces of A4 paper from his briefcase and handed them to Liao Xiangting.
"There is jade in the river that can transmit light, and the villagers dig treasure crazy overnight"
"Hibiscus jade turns into a crazy stone, and the river is full of jade pickers"
……
"Secretary Liao, look at this article, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has come out,...... 'Two hundred and fifty miles to the north, it is said that the mountain of Shaoyang, there is more jade on it, more red silver on it, and sour water comes out of Yan,'...... Is this Shaoyang Mountain our current Luoyan Mountain?"
"Who knows, we're not an archaeological team either!" Liao Xiangting smiled, took it and looked at it carefully, the picture of a jade shovel is very eye-catching, according to the article, it is a thing from the Warring States Period, "Hehe, this is even quoted in "Huainanzi", ah, Nuwa practiced colorful stones to make up for the sky, and hibiscus jade was formed by the broken stones that fell from Nuwa to make up for the sky?!"
Wang Xiaoshu also smiled, and from Liao Xiangting's smile, he sensitively found that Secretary Liao had an idea in this matter!
"Hehe, it seems that the person who wrote this article is really attentive to our hibiscus jade, and even Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is also quoted, 'Jade can remove heat, relieve boredom, moisten the heart and lungs, help the throat, nourish hair, nourish the five organs, and drain the blood veins...... 'It seems that Hibiscus jade is being targeted, this is someone planning hype!"
"I heard that a jade merchant came to Furong Street one afternoon, and as soon as he made a move, he bought thirty catties of rough stones, fifty yuan a catty!" Wang Xiaoshu followed Liao Xiangting's train of thought, "Could it be that Furong Street is hyping it itself?"
"No, it's not something that can be done by a street," Liao Xiang categorically vetoed, "Jiang Ping didn't report either, but this is a good thing from the current point of view,......
"Yes, now the demolition and dredging of the Xin River is enough for them, and one of my classmates said that almost all the cadres in the street are leaning on the demolition, and they have not taken Saturday and Sunday for a month. ”
"Oh," Liao Xiangting pondered, but instructed, "Call Minister Yang, the Propaganda Department should rely on the top to do the work, take advantage of this momentum, to high-end positioning, should invite experts to invite experts, should find a place to appraisal, the organization symposium will organize a symposium, and strive to make the brand of hibiscus jade in the country!"
……………………………………
……………………………………
Liao Xiangting saw it very accurately, Yue Wen also knew that Ni Liang came to collect jade, and the enthusiasm of the masses could only last for a while, and one or two press releases wanted to push the hibiscus jade in front of the collectors and jade merchants across the country, and it was really difficult for him, he had already thought about it, he was waiting for the right person to appear at the right time.
However, the villagers of Furong Street were crazy, and several people were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the crowd of ciphers in the river beach.
"Brother, I've been looking hot these days, so let's just go and pick up the stones ourselves. Hei Hachi looked forward to it.
"Gao Suo, it's too good for you to come," Yue Wen saw Gao Ming sitting in the police car, and hurried to the front of the car in a few steps, "I still have to help Brother Gao." ”
Gao Ming said unhappily, "This is simply a sea of people, we have so many police forces, and we can't manage it." ”
"The cadres of our organs are also here, and the Ruan Bureau promised to send some more people over," Yue Wen smiled flatteringly, "We are not blocking now, we are sparse!"
"What's the trick?"
"If you want to pick up stones, you can't pick them up here, you see, because those who pick up stones and fight, they have shovels at hand, and they can pick up stones easily, and it's not good to break their heads and bleed...... I got my own car, and even pulled the mud and stones out of the river for me, and I could pick them up as much as I wanted when I got home, we didn't care. ”
Wan Jianshe and several cadres of the organs are demarcating the areas of the villages, but as soon as the people's minds are hot, the words of the cadres of the organs will be ignored, and they will not leave, let alone leave.
"I'll try," Gao Ming smiled and got out of the car, "Why haven't I heard that this stone is so valuable before?"
"Now it's not the whole people who are engaged in collecting, what small leaf red sandalwood, King Kong Xingyue, it was not rare before, but now it is worth it, not to mention that we are jade!"
"Okay, let's try it. Gao Ming turned around and arranged, and as soon as the siren sounded, the policemen in public security uniforms went down to the river beach.
Ruan Chenggang also sent a few police cars over, those who fought and did not listen to persuasion, took the police cars on the spot, and slowly, the feverish villagers' minds began to cool down, but it was only after a while, and there was no one in the river beach - those who had cars went home and drove, and those who did not have cars pushed carts and drove back with sacks.
"Brother Wen, I understand," the baby smiled and handed over an ice cream, "Is that jade merchant your ......?"
Yue Wen turned his head and said with a smile, "Confidential!"
After a while, the river became lively again, and the stones and mud were dug up onto the car, and as the vehicles shuttled back and forth, the silt, garbage, and stones in the wide river began to slowly decrease.
"That's not going to work. Seeing that the villagers were still struggling towards the stones on the river beach, Yue Wen was a little worried.
"I'll go. The baby volunteered, "Give me the horn." ”
"Attention to the villagers, attention to the villagers," the baby pulled Hei Ba, shouting as he walked, "Each village picks up stones within its own range, and it can't cross the line, and it can't cross the line...... More stones in the middle of the river, more stones in the middle of the river......"
"I'll go too. Biao Zi also saw the doorway, and where there was mud, he commanded the people to be led there.
"Brother Wen, even the soil and stones are pulled away together, saving us from dredging, and even the garbage in the river is also transported. The silkworm chrysalis laughed.
Yue Wen smiled and said nothing, he noticed that there were more cars and off-road vehicles on the river embankment, and there were many brands that were not local in Pingzhou, well, it was news that 10,000 people were digging jade on the river beach, and the successful tease target appeared, but I don't know if the pick-up man was also in it.
"Director Yue, where are you?" The music on the mobile phone rang again, Yue Wen took out his mobile phone, and his little heart jumped up unhappily, and Yuan Shuying's extremely feminine voice immediately came from the earpiece.
"What are Mr. Yuan's instructions at work?" he suddenly looked around, but did not find the red off-road vehicle on the shore of Jinji Lake.
"It's time for your land, so let's have a treat at noon. Yuan Shuying smiled heartily.
"No problem," Yue Wen searched around, and sure enough, the door of a BMW car opened, and then Yuan Shuying and Lu Shanshan walked out.
Yue Wen was excited in his heart, why didn't I think of this daughter of the Lu silversmith's family, okay, the right person, here.
"At noon, go to Wanghailou to book a private room, go quickly. He pushed the stunned silkworm chrysalis, got up and greeted it, and suddenly turned around again, "Secretly, take a picture of us." ”
"I didn't know that Teacher Yuan was coming, and the students were late, so I asked the teacher to forgive me. He smiled and held out his hand.
Yuan Shuying's jade hands were immediately held in her hands, and she looked at Lu Shanshan, "This is the graduate of Qinwan University I mentioned to you, and now he is the leader of the street, right?" Yuan Shuying saw that his hand had not been let go for a long time, and his face turned slightly red.
"Welcome Mr. Lu, welcome to Furong Street in the Development Zone to guide the work. Yue Wen reacted immediately, grabbed Lu Shanshan's hand in his hand again, and saw that the silkworm chrysalis that had followed him was hot for a while.
"Director Yue, I heard that someone bought these stones at a high price?" Lu Shanshan shook her long hair, and Yue Wen's heart felt like it was also shaking, "This is not an ordinary stone, it is hibiscus jade." ”
"Oh, I've never heard of Hibiscus Jade being so valuable before?" Lu Shanshan then asked.
"Hehe, hibiscus jade has been there since ancient times, hasn't it been reported in the news, the jade shovel during the Warring States period is there, besides, don't you talk about keeping pace with the times now, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, good things can't be buried. ”
Yuan Shuying said with a smile, "I have a piece of hibiscus jade in my house, which is placed in my grandfather's study. ”
"Is there an appraisal certificate?" Lu Shanshan's eyes were very bright, and the corners of her mouth turned up when she smiled, full of charm.
"Yes, it was identified in the eighties of the last century, and you want me to find it. ”
"No," Lu Shanshan refused with a smile, "With all due respect, how do I think it's hype?"
Yue Wen sneered, "Hype? We really don't know about this, at least our streets don't know, but is there such hype?" he pointed to the vigorous army of treasure pickers and jade pickers in the river beach, "There was once a pile of jade stones placed in front of you, but you didn't cherish it, and you regretted it when others picked it up." If Heaven could give you another chance, you would say three words to those jades: I want to buy them...... , hehe, Mr. Lu, this opportunity is not to be missed. ”
Yuan Shuying smiled, "Yes, even the movie lines have come out." ”
Lu Shanshan also smiled, "We're either here to buy it, or to come and see." ”
"Then Sister Yuan's friend is my friend," he quietly changed his name, looked at Yuan Shuying, and Yuan Shuying did not object, "My friend is here and has good wine, I have to do my best at noon, please invite two beauties." ”
Lu Shanshan stared at the crowd in the river, and the big cars and small cars were dispatched together, vigorous and lively, "Director Yue, how do I feel that the news on the Internet has clear logic and is full of routines!"
Yue Wen blinked and looked at her with a smile.
"This news, "Historical Records" has been quoted, historical myths have come out, there are noses and eyes, saying that there will be jade when digging a foot on the ground, digging treasures in the whole city, and moving for jade, making it hard to believe that this is written by real eyewitnesses. ”
The silkworm chrysalis snickered, that was the result of Yue Wen's stay up all night, he looked at Yue Wen, but Yue Leader still had no change in his face, and the clouds were light and light.
Lu Shanshan was also looking at Yue Wen, "First, Taobao pays attention to stuffy hair and wealth, and it is best to swallow it alone, so it can't be written by these people." She raised her jade hand and pointed to the people in the river.
"Second, even these jade diggers, can they tell the history of jade so clearly?
Third, such a writing, the words are enthusiastic and accurate, but objective and rational, the logic is also very clear, and it is full of purpose, which is really suspicious. ”
"Hehe, you are worthy of a returnee, your logic is also very clear, and your words are also very objective and rational. Yue Wen looked at Yuan Shuying with a smile, and Yuan Shuying smiled, "Is it the government action of your street?"
"This," Yue Wen smiled, "it's really not." In front of the shrewd Lu Shanshan and the smiling Yuan Shuying, he felt a little short of words for a while, and he scolded secretly, this is really the first time he has met such a woman!
But such a woman is "chasing and beating", "Director Yue, however, I admire the initiator behind it, this kind of 'national hype', through the spread of the hot article of 'digging a foot of the ground must have jade', attracting people to flock to it, creating a grand occasion of 'the whole people digging jade'; and then, through the news, let the society and the industry form an understanding of 'ancient jade unearthed', and then facilitate speculation and increase the value of jade in hand, and finally in order to 'sell at a high price', this set of logic, wonderful! Of course, I also want to get to know the master behind this!"
The master didn't blush, but his heart didn't beat, "Then if you meet him, give him a word, Furong Street warmly welcomes him to come and guide the work,...... Mr. Lu, do you want to take some jade with you?"
Ni Liang is not here, if there is no more jade merchant to make a move, the flame of enthusiasm of the villagers will be slowly extinguished, Yue Wen doesn't want to let go of this young shopkeeper of Lu silversmith!
"No, we're just here to see. Lu Shanshan flicked her hair again, and a dark fragrance hit, Yue Wen hurriedly gathered his thoughts, "Then let's go to the hotel, it's eleven o'clock." ”
Lu Shanshan and Yuan Shuying discussed a few words, walked into the car, Yue Wen beckoned, the silkworm chrysalis came over with a mobile phone and handed it to Yue Wen, hehe, the photo of the two shaking hands is really like that, "This woman is really amazing, look, the candid shooting is successful!"
"Okay, good shot, chrysalis, I know that you were born to do paparazzi material, I'll give you a call, and send this picture over immediately, the title is Qinwan Lu Silversmith's Love for Hibiscus Jade......"
The silkworm chrysalis blinked, "Aren't people not interested?"
Yue Wenbi smiled, "We didn't say she was interested, what I want is guidance, guidance, guidance, ——, understand? This is called setting a model and demonstrating the effect!"
"Guidance, how do I think it is like temptation. The silkworm chrysalis muttered on the phone.
In the car, Lu Shanshan was also arranging, "The jade in the river beach is all washed down by the rainwater from the mountains, you contact the Land Bureau of the Development Zone, well, you must get the mining rights here!"
