022: Jade Association Gathering
Chapter 22: The Jade Association Gathering
Qingyuan City, a neighbor of Mingyuan City, can be reached in about one and a half hours by car, and the traffic can be described as extremely convenient. Because Qingyuan City is surrounded by several major jade bases in China, the jade trade here is also quite developed, and naturally, the gambling stone style here is also quite strong, and there is even a special jade street.
"Xiaoyou, why are you absent-minded?"
Wang Hao, who was sitting in the back of the car with Zhou You, saw that Zhou You was thinking heavily and expressed his condolences with concern.
Since the last time I bought the bronze statue of Zhong Kui in Mingyuan Building, it was strange to travel around. A few days ago, he always excused himself with various excuses, even when he went to his rental house, he was not warmly received as before, and today he miraculously forgot his promise and was late, this kind of travel is not at all like the one Wang Hao knew.
Zhou You also knew his abnormality, and replied: "It's nothing, I have studied the codex left by Teacher Xu recently, and the more I read it, the more confused my mind becomes, and I am still a little delirious." But it's much better now, and it's okay to take a rest again, after all, today's Jade Association gathering is very important. ”
Wang Hao nodded and responded: "Yes, although Qingyuan City is not my country's jade base, but it is surrounded by Sihui, Sanshui and other famous jade bases in my country, so Qingyuan City's gambling stone wind is much more enthusiastic than our city, I heard that there are as many as three hundred members of their jade association." ”
Zhou You was interested and asked: "Guangdong's gambling stone style has always been famous throughout the country, but our city is on the edge, so it is not so enthusiastic. Now we have the opportunity to see the more lively gambling atmosphere, but it is our luck, what we need most now is practical experience. ”
Wang Hao said mysteriously: "Xiaoyou, I have to tell you that the general and Chen Feng will both participate in this party." ”
Zhou You frowned when he listened.
The general is Jiang Jun, one of the few good friends in the university. But the appearance of this Chen Feng made Zhou You very unhappy, because he was one of Zhou You's sworn enemies and the person with the worst relationship in the dormitory.
This Chen Feng relied on his father who owned a jewelry store, wantonly provoked and had excellent academic performance, and was deeply appreciated by Mr. Xu. Once, in order to embarrass Zhou You in public, Chen Feng actually drove a famous car worth millions and took the school flower to Zhou You's part-time job, wantonly provoked, maliciously made things difficult, made Zhou You lose face, and was even fired by the boss;
If Zhou You is given a chance to kill people without committing crimes, then it will definitely be Chen Feng who dies.
Wang Hao also looked at that Chen Feng was extremely unhappy, and said gloomily: "Now we are not without money, and we have earned it by ourselves, not an old man like Chen Feng." Wait a minute, if we have the chance, we will definitely make it difficult for him, even if it is out of the previous bad breath. ”
"Hmm. ”
Zhou You didn't intend to let Chen Feng go.
If there is a chance to make him suffer, Zhou You will definitely not mind the black hand, after all, this person is so hateful, he actually tried his best to touch the dark because he was better than him, how can such a person be worthy of himself if he doesn't teach him.
"It's here. ”
With Wang Hao's words, the car stopped.
Seeing that this place is not as high-end as imagined, there is not even a bit of cultural atmosphere, it is simply a factory that is not very new, and he looked at Wang Hao in wonder.
But Wang Hao just smiled and didn't answer, but Huang Jianming, who led the team this time, solved Zhou You's confusion: "Xiaoyou, this Qingyuan Jade Association gathering is the most lively one, I heard that they not only called most of the members of the Jade Association, but also invited many gambling stone masters around to participate, and the number of participants this time is not comparable to that time in the Cultural Palace." ”
Zhou You asked: "Do they have so much wool to supply so many people to gamble?"
To invite so many gambling stone masters, it is natural to need a lot of wool to support the scene. With the current jadeite market, it is not a simple matter to get such a large amount of jadeite wool.
Huang Jianming immediately replied: "It's not the Qingyuan government's mind yet. They want to build Qingyuan into a new jade base, so they naturally have to spend a lot of money. I heard that they not only invited wool merchants from the surrounding jade bases, but also sent sincere invitations to jade merchants from Myanmar, and it is estimated that this time there are seven or eight even if there are not ten stalls. ”
Wang Hao echoed: "Those who are qualified to be invited by the Qingyuan government are naturally big wool merchants, and the stalls are naturally not small. ”
Zhou You nodded and replied, "I see." With so many participants and so many stalls, the requirements for the venue are naturally demanding. It's not easy for them to get such a big factory, but they can't be too harsh on them. ”
"It's good to understand. ”
Huang Jianming introduced while leading the way: "This time not only gathered gambling stone lovers from all over the province, but also gambling stone lovers from outside the province also heard the news. Look at a few extravagant big bosses over there, they are jewelers from Hong Kong, and their strength is at least at the level of our Huang Jewelry. ”
After a pause, Huang Jianming said: "If you can perform this time, it will be of great benefit to your reputation and to the antique shop you are about to open." ”
Zhou You and Wang Hao both nodded heartily.
"Distinguished gentlemen, please show me the invitation!"
At this moment, a staff member who suddenly appeared stopped them.
Huang Jianming explained as he handed over the invitation: "Originally, it was just a party, so I don't have to take it so seriously. However, the members who participated this time were more or less identious, and Qingyuan Yuxie was afraid of some irreparable omissions, so he used the invitation letter to prevent the ill-intentioned attempts of some small people. ”
Zhou You and Wang Hao expressed their understanding.
"It's so hilarious!"
When everyone entered the venue and found that there was a sea of people inside, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "This time it's more lively than I imagined, this atmosphere is equal to half the success." As long as a few high-grade jadeites can be produced this time, the reputation of the Qingyuan Jade Association will definitely be able to be beaten, and their influence will also rise in a straight line, and it will not be difficult to become a new jade base at that time. ”
Huang Jianming said with a smile: "This time the excitement is indeed beyond my estimate, but it is not so simple to become a new jade base, all aspects of it are intricate, not as simple as you imagined." ”
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Hao admired Huang Jianming, who was self-made, and repeatedly agreed.
"Haha, long time no see, brothers!"
A figure suddenly came out and gave Zhou You and Wang Hao a big hug.
"General, long time no see!"
"Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is not your kind of person, if you don't let go, I'll do it!"
Zhou You and Wang Hao expressed their joy at the sudden appearance of Jiang Jun in their own way.
Jiang Jun, who was well-dressed, looked at Zhou You seriously and asked: "I heard Wang Hao say that your gambling stone skills are very powerful, and you have actually earned a net worth of one million, are you sure that you will come this time? ”
Zhou You knew that Wang Hao was often in contact with Jiang Jun and knew a lot of things, but Zhou You still didn't understand why a high-level auction house like Jiang Jun would personally attend this gathering.
Being able to sit on the throne of the manager of the miscellaneous group of the auction house in just one year after graduation shows how strong Jiang Jun's personal ability and observation ability are, and he immediately saw Zhou You's doubts, and took the initiative to explain: "It's not that the jade is crazy about rising prices. Although our auction house is one of the best auction houses in the province, its background is not so strong after all, and it has repeatedly been at a disadvantage in the competition of high-end jewelry, and I, as a miscellaneous group manager, are also under great pressure. No, as soon as I heard that Qingyuan City was very lively, I immediately killed it, not to collect some high-end auction items for the company. ”
When he was in college, Mr. Xu was a veteran of archaeology, and he conquered those proud students with his profound knowledge of antiques again and again. But after all, the four-year study period is not very long, and the knowledge that can be learned is quite limited, so the students in the archaeology class will basically specialize in one subject as their own future. There is a specialization in the art industry, and as a result, Wang Hao and Jiang Jun quickly broke through in the society, while Zhou You struggled silently in the job fair.
But now it seems that as the most successful Jiang Jun in the class, life is not very good.
I don't want Wang Hao to be very confident, patted Jiang Jun on the shoulder, and said: "General, you can rest assured, with the ghost of Xiaoyou, the high-grade jade you need will definitely not be a problem." ”
"Yo, what about my brother?"
Huang Jianming had an opinion, and said to Zhou You: "Xiaoyou, we said before, if we can open a jade of no quality this time, we must give some to my brother." ”
What else can you do besides nodding?
"I dare to boast of such a Haikou before I look at the wool, and treat all the masters in the field as transparent. I really don't know if it's good to say that you think you're good, or if you don't do it yourself. ”
Chen Feng's nasty face suddenly came out of the crowd on the side, and he didn't give Zhou You a good face as soon as they met, and continued his dark operation: "To be honest, there are loopholes in the security work this time, and I actually let such a poor ghost slip in, it seems that I have to put forward my opinion to the organizing committee." ”
"You've got shit in your mouth!"
Where could Wang Hao endure such an insult.
Even if Chen Feng was only targeting Zhou You, Zhou You was his friend and his brother, he felt the same way, and immediately waved his fist to greet Chen Feng, an idiot who had been hollowed out by wine.
However, Wang Hao was pulled by Zhou You.
Zhou You muttered in Wang Hao's ear, but suppressed Wang Hao's anger, and then the two of them pulled Jiang Jun and walked towards the wool stall.
Chen Feng, who was completely ignored, was furious, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at Zhou You.
