Chapter 475: Preparing Before Departure
"Very low!"
Zhou You was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly.
You have to know that a successful jewelry design can lead to the design of the whole collection. On average, how much design cost can be for each piece, laymen know that it is very low, compared to the design cost of those famous teachers invited by Yao Jiahui, which is often in units of 100,000, it is simply disproportionate.
Mr. Hu said lightly: "I admit that many of the works handed in by those students are imitations and plagiarism, but they are also smart and have a good grasp of the scale; So there haven't been any jokes yet, but it's a lot cheaper. β
Yao Jiahui also began to be tempted by this model.
Although the biggest disadvantage of this model is that it is inflexible and the degree of confidentiality is not high, it is better than the large volume, and it is easy to find out the best of it. Sometimes, this design does not conform to the current trend, but it does not mean that the future does not match, now in the hands of the first, and later when its value is highlighted, the low cost will be a great competitive weapon.
Successful businessmen are good at settling accounts, they calculate risks and profits to the core, and it is naturally difficult for loss-making businesses to fall on their heads.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you're in charge of the jewelry exchange. β
Zhou You felt that it was a wise choice to hand over his jewelry to these successful jewelry merchants. Although it is sometimes disappointing, it is more of a surprise, and the jewelry displayed by Li Yidao and Mr. Mo before is very appetizing for Zhou You.
After the secret recipe and jewelry were taken care of, Zhou You was ready to go to Hong Kong Island to participate in the East Asian Art Exchange Conference.
Although this exchange meeting is only a small region, the contradictions between several major countries are not acute, and the conflict between China and Japan in particular is even more unimaginable. Let's take this East Asian art exchange as an example, before it even started, there was a torrent of undercurrents, and many parties competed.
Before you set off, though, there's one thing you have to settle for your trip.
After warmly greeting Yao Jiahui and others, Zhou You drove non-stop to Yuming's hometown. Of course, Zhou You is going to bring two of the most perfect Yuan Zhen liquids.
After getting the six Korean ginseng kings, Zhou You asked his father to open a small stove as soon as possible, and directly refined the twenty-four emperors' version of Yuan Zhen liquid. In order to make his parents' health as much as possible, he directly took out two Imperial Edition Yuan True Liquid, fused each into 15 drops of spiritual water, and evolved into the two most perfect works in Zhou You's hands now.
"Xiaoyou, is this thing really that magical?"
Mother Zhou looked at the potion in her hand and felt that the advertisement was overblowing, where in this world is there such a magical thing.
"Very comfortable!"
The potion was extracted from his own hands, and Father Zhou knew everything about it. It's just that after he drank it, he found that something was wrong, and asked: "Xiaoyou, this taste is a little wrong, has your research made a breakthrough?" When you drink it, there is no medicinal ginseng taste at all, just like a clear spring, sweet, refreshing, and refreshing. β
Mother Zhou saw that her husband also drank it, and she said it so magically, and she drank it all, and it was as magical as her husband said.
Zhou You replied with a smile: "Dad, Mom, now you drink it, and I will tell you the result." This is the last and most perfect version, and I am the only one in the world who can make it, even if the central government wants to drink it, I may not be able to drink it. β
Father Zhou's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Child, is it too much for you to give us such a precious thing." β
Zhou You was not ashamed, and said directly: "You are the most important thing in my eyes!"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother both laughed.
If raising a child is like this, what else is there to desire?
Father Zhou thought of something and asked, "Child, at present, the market price of the Emperor Edition Yuan True Liquid has been speculated to five million, but it is still priceless. And if you say it's the perfect version, then we've just drunk at least 10 million. β
Zhou's mother almost fell off her chair.
She has no idea about the value of Yuan Zhen Liquid, because her family's supply of Yuan Zhen Liquid is sufficient, and sometimes she even takes it away from others. Now that she heard the real price, she realized how naΓ―ve she was, these potions were a hundred times more expensive than she thought.
Zhou You replied with a smile: "Wrong, you can't buy a zero after 10 million." But you don't have to think too much, you can't spit it out after drinking. β
"You, you!"
Father Zhou couldn't laugh or cry, he finally knew why Zhou You wanted to wait for them to finish drinking before telling them the value of things.
Zhou's mother seemed to be numb, and sighed: "It is estimated that our two old guys are the richest people in the world, because we drank more than 100 million worth of treasures just now." β
Zhou You smiled but did not speak.
After drinking it, Zhou's father didn't bother to care about it anymore, and asked, "Child, you are going to Hong Kong Island again." I heard you had something going on there last time, so be careful this time. β
Zhou You replied: "This time I will go with everyone, and I will also bring Dazhi and Forrest Gump, as long as it is not a dramatic scene, we can handle it." What's more, the business environment on Hong Kong Island is much better than that on the mainland, and the last time was just an accident, so there should be no problems. β
Fortunately, Zhou You hasn't told them about the Sino-Japanese conflict, otherwise it is still unknown whether they will let Zhou You participate in this exchange meeting.
You must know that this exchange meeting began when it was rumored that China's national treasure would come over, and the turmoil continued, although it has been carried out underground, but the situation is more tragic than the one put on the table, and one may lose his reputation if he is not careful.
Zhou You didn't stay in his hometown for too long, and returned to his villa in the city in the afternoon of that year, and formed an escort team with four special security guards sent by Xu Jie to drive to the provincial capital.
Originally, they could go directly to the deep city, and after a night's rest, they would pass the customs early the next morning. However, Xu Lao had something to entrust to travel, so he had to take the provincial capital, stay there for one night, and then cross the customs the next day.
A modified business vehicle, a bulletproof armed cash transport vehicle with the four treasures that Zhou You felt was the most appropriate, after a four-hour long journey, finally came to Xu Lao's Xiangyu Zhai.
Zhou You saw that four dedicated special security guards with gun licenses would rather stay in the car and be bored than get out of the car to take a breath, so he sighed for Xu Jie's heritage.
However, sighing and sighing, Zhou You still walked into Xiangyu Zhai in a hurry.
"It's coming!"
When Xu Lao saw Zhou You, his serious expression finally showed a smile.
Looking at the sky, Xu Lao said: "Your speed is much faster than I expected, it seems that you don't want to stay here?"
Zhou You shook his head and replied, "No, I really have to trouble the teacher tonight." β
"That's good. β
Xu Lao didn't know what he thought, and suddenly sighed: "Recently, several old friends have been very busy, and the two sons and three grandchildren are not around, and the days are quite boring." It's rare that you can come once, and it's never too late to stay two more days. β
"Yes, teacher. β
You can feel the loneliness of the old man and dare not refuse.
"Come with me, there's something I want to show you that I received unintentionally. β
Xu Lao didn't sigh too many boring words, and took the initiative to take Zhou You to his collection room.
Dazhi and Forrest Gump didn't dare to follow, that was Xu Lao's secret, even the people of the Xu family couldn't go down at will, not to mention that they were just bodyguards traveling around.
"Teacher, it seems that there are a lot of collections missing here!"
As soon as Zhou You came down, he found that this place seemed to be a lot empty, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. At least Zhou You still clearly remembers that the porcelain of the official kiln of the Song Dynasty that could be seen at the first glance is gone, and the position is empty and very conspicuous.
Xu Lao replied: "Lao Bai and Xiao Huang borrowed a lot. β
Zhou You wondered: "It's understandable that Director Huang borrowed it, what is Teacher Bai borrowing it for?"
Xu Lao asked rhetorically: "Xiaoyou, you have rarely been in contact with the elders recently, have you?"
Zhou You nodded awkwardly.
Xu Lao said: "Lao Bai opened a porcelain factory, specializing in imitating famous porcelain in ancient times. Before, we talked about the country's ancient cultural undertakings have been stagnant, and now people's preferences for buildings, jewelry and other things far exceed antiques, so Lao Bai said that we should give full play to a little residual heat, so that ancient culture can also penetrate into the people. β
"I see. β
Zhou You can naturally understand the noble sentiments of Xu Lao and others.
Nowadays, ordinary people who want to see national treasures have to be viewed by large museums, and the problem of the road alone can make many interested people give up. If we can reproduce those famous national treasures and let ordinary people experience the breadth and profundity of ancient culture, its significance is definitely more practical than building a dozen or so large museums.
Xu Lao came to a porcelain with a very strange shape and said, "Xiaoyou, come and see this celadon." β
"Yue kiln?"
When you see that it looks like a traditional Nine Dragons playing with pearls, you immediately think of a typical porcelain.
Xu Lao nodded.
The Yue kiln is a celadon kiln in southern China in ancient China. The kilns are mainly located in Shangyu, Yuyao, Cixi, Ningbo and other places in present-day Zhejiang Province. The production period is from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was the most exquisite period of Yue kiln craftsmanship, ranking first in the country. Interestingly, Zhejiang, the origin of Yue kiln porcelain, also has a close relationship with Japan, and historical evidence proves that the sea passage between China and Japan was opened in the 2nd century BC. Yue kiln celadon was exported to Japan in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, when many varieties of porcelain were imported into Japan, including Tang Sancai, celadon, white porcelain and underglaze colored porcelain.
Elder Xu put the bottom of the Nine Dragons Bead and asked, "Is the bottom money a little different?"
Zhou You said: "It's different, it seems to be used for export." β
Speaking of which, Zhou You vaguely knew what Elder Xu's intention was in bringing him here.
Xu Lao said: "That's right, this Yue kiln celadon - Jiulong Opera Pearl is a porcelain exported to Japan, and it is a gift that Xiaojie brought back from Japan by chance. If it weren't for the fun of this East Asian art exchange, I wouldn't have remembered it. β
