Chapter 25: Rotten Cabbage and Golden Dumplings
"Baby, do you think I'm handsome?" Yue Wen pointed to the photo of himself and Lu Shanshan on the Internet, and looked at the brothers standing behind him.
"Brother Wen, with all due respect," Bao Bao laughed, "I don't think people are very reluctant." ”
"That's it, that's it," Hei Ba patted Yue Wen's shoulder, "You hold someone's arm with one hand and hold someone's hand with the other, I'm afraid that someone will pull their hand back." ”
"Starling, do you know if you don't say it, do you seem smart?
……
Photos of Yue Wen shaking hands with Lu Shanshan appeared on some forums, and the news that Silversmith Lu was going to Pingzhou to win the right to mine jade also spread far and wide, not only in Pingzhou and in the streets of Furong, but also in the jade circle.
The hotel in the development zone is also full of jade merchants from all over the country who come to step on the sample, and some jade merchants began to buy stones in the hands of the villagers.
The Propaganda Department of the District Working Committee is also taking action, and the first jade seminar in Pingzhou has begun to be slowly organized, and the invited reporters are also on their way to Pingzhou.
Furong jade, not only in the development zone, but also in Qinwan has become a hot topic, there are many old Qinwan people who have never set foot in the development zone in their lives, and they also drive here with their families on weekends to pick up a few pieces of jade and bring them back.
Ge Huixian took a few colleagues to "form a group" to dig treasures, and after the noon treat, everyone got a few pieces of jade of different colors, all of them smiled, and they were very happy, and after praising Yue Wen as a flower, they all returned satisfied.
……
After experiencing the first wave of reports from major domestic media, the hibiscus jade of "cabbage price" for decades has become a "crazy stone" in the jade world, and rotten cabbage has finally become a golden bait.
In the river, there are still people coming and going, and as far as the eye can see, the river beach is full of dense small carts, all of which are people digging jade with shovels, and carts of stones and silt are continuously sent out of the river.
Chen Jiangping has to go to the scene every day to see, and this scene reminds him of the construction of the Haichao Dam, the construction of large terraces, and the construction of a large reservoir...... At that time, it was also crowded and in full swing.
In the past few days, the situation seems to have changed again, small carts and tractors are still there, but some people have hired excavators on their own initiative, and the number of vehicles has increased significantly.
The big bad wolf came, with a band of brothers, with a forklift;
Liang Li came, with a group of migrant workers and a forklift;
……
"The era of mechanized warfare in the large corps" has finally come after a high fever, this dredging, he is no longer worried, now he is worried about order, he saw the police station Gao Ming at the scene to maintain law and order, the two families can fight for a place to dig jade.
"Well, Lao Wan, contact the Land Bureau, someone has started to dig jade up the mountain, send a few people to patrol the mountain, you can't dig indiscriminately on the mountain!"
The Land Bureau has long been instructed by the District Work Committee to strictly prohibit indiscriminate mining and digging in the mountains, and big signs reading "Protect mineral resources" and "Prohibit entering mining areas, offenders will be investigated for criminal responsibility" have been erected high on the mountains.
The police station also formed a team of 6 people, a group of 2 people, 24 hours a day. At the same time, 3 high-definition cameras are installed on the mountain to check the situation on the mountain at any time.
He answered another phone call, it was the secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhushan Street, "Lao Chen, now the people of our Zhushan Street have gone to work in your Furong Street, and they have all gone to pick up treasures.
Chen Jiangping smiled back, "Who let you have no jade there? You can't control the legs and mouths of the common people!"
The other party responded with a smile, "I heard that the price has risen again now, a hundred yuan a catty, or we will dig jade and earn a lot more than our party working secretary!"

As a geographical country with vast land and abundant resources, jade is also multi-colored and diverse.
The warm and moist stone bred from the cracks in the stone makes people marvel at the magic of nature's creation, and after the fusion of art carving, jade carving, it has become a colorful and shocking work of art, and has become the darling of the out-and-out cultural art collection, and the price has also doubled.
"Brother Wen, there is jade in the river and stones in the mountains, and you can make money by selling stones. The baby was eating ice cream, and Yue Wen wiped the ice cream stains from his mouth.
"This is a new district, we must pay attention to the environment, the district will not agree to mining, it is useless for Lu Silversmith to find the Land Bureau, our development zone, if we still develop resource-based industries, it will make people laugh," Yue Wen looked at the baby and changed the topic, "Baby, you have been in the office, what do you send to the guests?"
"Red armor. The baby thought for a moment, "Or maybe it's Jinshi." ”
"Hehe, how many catties do you give?"
"Well, I wish the director is preparing a foam box," the baby gestured with his hand, "A foam box is more than a dozen pounds." ”
"If I were the director of the office, I wouldn't do that," Yue Wen said with a smile, "You have to study people's psychology, you send a bunch of red armor, the information behind it is that we have a lot of this thing here, it is not valuable, if you want me to send it, I will make a beautiful box, only put six, bundle them one by one, and stuff them into a certificate, so that people will feel very high-grade, and spend less money and do more,...... Gift-giving is also a science. ”
"Similarly, if hibiscus jade is mined in large quantities, it will be worthless, and it will be scarce and expensive, so hibiscus jade cannot be listed in large quantities, but we can increase the added value of existing jade, and after carving, it will not be jade. ”
"What's that?" Hei Ba drove the car and turned his head to look at Yue Wen, "Isn't it still a stone?"
"No," Yue Wen smiled, "That's culture." ”
"There used to be a carving factory in our street, but now it's gone, Brother Wen, you've only been here for half a year, how do you know the history of Hibiscus Jade?"
"Remember, I don't tell ordinary people, you will all be secretaries and directors in the future, and you will be in charge of the political side," Yue Wen was proud, "If you want to quickly understand a place, just look at the county chronicles, there is everything in them, you think I take the county chronicles as a novel, I look at the industry inside, and then such as precipitation, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been all over the years, you can roughly guess that there is a drought in a few years, a flood in a few years, of course, our development zone has always been short of water." ”
"Don't go far, say jade carving, I followed the car for a few years, go south and north, the drivers are a bunch of rough brothers, but well-informed, I benefited a lot, they told me that the jade carvings placed in the mall may not be valuable, but a processing is very valuable. ”
"Tell me about it. "The baby is interested.
"You think Hetian jade is good, right? Korean and Qinghai materials can be called Hetian jade, hehe, the price is very different, plus the carving, it looks even different...... That's a decoration, it can only prove that it's a piece of jade, it's a website, you can get one yourself. ”
"My mother just bought a bracelet from Hetian Yu a while ago," Hei Hachi was not calm as he drove the car, "Will you be fooled?"
"What do you say?" Yue Wen smiled.
"Your family is not short of money, so you should contribute to the people. The baby patted Kurohachi's shoulder.
"In the case of jasper, many of them are Manas jasper, although they are produced in Xinjiang, they have nothing to do with Hetian jade,...... Go to the mall to buy jade, most of them will not pay attention to the carving, the jade in the mall is generally carved Guanyin, Buddha this traditional theme, and this theme is the most suitable for machine carving, from the factory batch out, and generally with the machine polishing leftovers, the cost is not much. ”
"There are too many doorways in this, and if you are not careful, you will be deceived. The baby looked at Heiba, "Fortunately, my family has no money, unlike the starling's family, this foundation is thick, and it doesn't hurt to cheat thousands of pieces of meat." ”
"The return of traditional culture is an inevitable general trend, the domestic cultural play market has been very hot in recent years, one is related to the general trend, the other word, inseparable from the frying, Huanglongyu, Jinsi jade are all fried, that is, jade, from the Empress Dowager Cixi began to be introduced into China, was fried to the sky-high price of hundreds of billions of yuan, and now, the decline is too obvious,...... Our hibiscus jade has to be fried, but with additional cultural value!"
"Brother Wen, let's go to 'Bouldering Zhai' to find Shen Guozhang, can his artificial carving be useful?"
"Artificial carving is fine carving, good things have to be done, well, now we can't let the people suffer, since the district has acted, let's see if we can guide it, and redo this old industry, now the people have stones in their hands, and we have to give them the ...... of this wealth."

Daya or vulgarity, the two have always been twins with question marks on each other.
The weeping grapes, the residual lotus swaying in the wind, the children riding the bull in the mountains and returning at dusk, the old people leaning on the door of the village...... Bodhisattva, Vajra, Summer Cicada, Cabbage...... It's so lifelike that you can't bear to touch it.
"This is a copy of the appraisal of the survey results of the hibiscus jade in '88. The old man's face was vicissitudes, and his hands trembled a little, Yue Wen solemnly took the appraisal book, which showed that there were four varieties of hibiscus jade: jasper, black jade, red jade and emerald jade......
"In the nineties, there were three or four thousand jade carvers in Pingzhou, most of them were in our Furong Town, and in ninety-six years, the Pingzhou carving factory was also dissolved, and now there are about 200 people who are still doing this business, and my shop is big. The old man was overwhelmed with emotion.
Yue Wen, Hu Kailing, Baobao, and Hei Ba all looked upright and listened quietly, and only the old man's slightly sentimental vicissitudes echoed in the room.
"Uncle, today I am here for this, now the district also intends to support the jade carving industry, hibiscus jade has also begun to resound in the country, in addition to participating in the national jade jewelry fair, I have an idea, can you combine hibiscus jade and hibiscus gold, the elegant and the vulgar, you see, we have gold mines in the mountains, there is also jade, can it be combined into one?"
"Gold inlaid with jade, jade wrapped with gold, it's completely fine. Shen Guozhang smiled.
Yue Wen looked at Hu Kailing, "Uncle, I am still the secretary of Jinjiling Village, there are resources on the mountain, and there are also factories, can you teach them and take them?"
Hu Kailing said sincerely, "Director Shen, I am a rough person, I can't speak, what Director Yue means is what I mean, don't worry, when you get to the village, we will listen to what you say." Our village now has a road, it is easy to go down the mountain, and you can take care of the storefront on the street. ”
Shen Guozhang looked at Hu Kailing, obviously lacking confidence, "I'm also afraid that this craft will be lost, but this job is dirty and tiring, and you have to sit on your ass, no one wants to learn young people, I opened a free training class last year, and a total of more than a dozen people came, and they all ran away in the end," the old man smiled bitterly, "I can't stand this crime." ”
"We can suffer," Hu Kailing patted his chest and promised, "Jinjiling is afraid of poverty, and I don't want to live a poor life anymore, Director Yue pointed us out, we will go forward and not look back!"
"As long as you are not too bitter, not too tired, not too boring, I will teach!" Shen Guozhang's wrinkles slowly unfolded.
"Okay, gold and jade meet, this is a great thing, it was just to sell gold, just to sell stones, and now the price must not be doubled and rise," Yue Wen was also very happy when he saw Shen Guozhang agree, "I know that your dream is to build a jade carving museum, you can rest assured, this matter is on me, and it will be built in the new area in the future!"
The old man's eyes lit up, and he slowly took out a big red seal, about ten centimeters square, "Director Yue, you are only in your twenties, like you, it is rare to see cadres who are thinking about the common people," he took the carving knife in his hand, "I have heard of what the people of Jinjiling lived in the past and what days they live now...... The road to the gas station has also been repaired, and I have heard about it......"
"In the past few days, the people who bought hibiscus jade have broken the door, and some people have come to my store, and the people have stones in their hands, this is the money, the good time for hibiscus jade is coming......" The old man looked at Yue Wen.
"This is all planned by our Director Yue. The baby interjected.
The carving knife kept scratching the bottom of the red jade seal, and the old man said while carving, "Hibiscus jade should have been on fire a long time ago, you see, this red jade is the only jade that has the three characteristics of chicken blood red, plum blossom pattern, and warm and moist quality at the same time, and this chicken blood plum blossom jade cannot be found in the whole country." ”
"Jade is red and valuable", "gold is easy to obtain, red jade is hard to find". In recent years, all jade that is touched with red is the focus of hot collections, such as bloodstone, southern red, and Warring States red, whose value has risen thousands of times, and the speed and height of the rise process are jaw-dropping.
"I'll give you this seal. The old man picked up the big seal of chicken blood plum blossom jade, and gently covered it on a piece of rice paper, the red jade was like blood, and the handwriting was red, Yue Wen couldn't help but look upright, and read softly-
"Heaven - earth - people - heart!"
