Chapter 258: The Mingyuan Jade Association was born

"Yes! Where would I refuse!"

The biggest headache for Zhou You now is that his antique inventory is too small.

A museum, especially a slightly larger museum, which one has antiques that are not measured in tens of thousands. For example, the Palace Museum, a treasure trove of ancient art built by the whole country, has a collection of nearly one million pieces, including more than 340,000 pieces of ceramics alone. Even the Yongjian Museum, which is very small, has nearly 10,000 antiques for tourists and Tibetans to exchange and enjoy.

Although with the efforts of Zhou You, especially with the strong support of Xu Lao, Zhou You now has more than 7,000 antiques and works of art, but it is still far from the goal of Zhou You, and a considerable part of them are still Longque Tower, not only the exclusive possession of Zhou You's museums.

It was because of this embarrassment that Zhou You fully realized that it was impossible to complete that grand blueprint in a short period of time by relying on the power of one person. He had to rely on external forces and the support of others to have a chance to realize his dream.

And now, perhaps, a breakthrough.

When Mr. Hu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "If I knew this, I would have brought the treasures of my family here, and it would save me from fighting with Mr. Huang and Mr. Ma." ”

Many jewelry owners listen to the words of Zhou Yu in their ears and keep them in their hearts.

Now it is a well-known thing that mid-to-high-grade jadeite is hard to find. But when you travel here, it is an ordinary color, and sometimes you can see the most high-end glass jadeite, which makes everyone excited, and many people secretly decide to find some valuable antiques to exchange.

When you see everyone's excited expressions, you know that your decision is completely correct. However, in order to avoid everyone going the wrong way, Zhou You hurriedly reminded: "In fact, it is not necessarily that the older the thing, the more valuable it is, not to mention, it is easy to find the porcelain of the Republic of China, and the porcelain of the Republic of China period also has the appearance of top boutiques, and even the top works of art with an auction price of more than 10 million yuan; ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads and comprehend.

A middle-aged man with glasses who didn't know what industry he was engaged in, but who had a bit of a scholarly taste, raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Zhou, there are several masterpieces of famous modern painters in the contemptible family, I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested?"

Zhou You replied with a smile: "This one naturally has!"

The middle-aged man with glasses asked again: "Then how are we going to trade?"

Zhou You replied with a smile: "You can come to the Dragon Bird Tower to trade, or you can make an appointment with me, and we will study and communicate together." Also, in a few days it will be the opening ceremony of our Dragon Bird Tower, I hope you can enjoy your face. ”

Everyone nodded.

The middle-aged man with glasses nodded, did not ask any further, and seemed to have made a decision.

Another boss asked: "Mr. Zhou, I have several snuff bottles carved by Mr. Zhao at home, I wonder if they can be traded?"

Immediately after that, an unknown boss spoke: "Mr. Zhou, I have a very good jade disc at home, I don't know if you are interested?"

Everyone said that they had antiques, and the atmosphere became warm again.

"Of course you can, you're interested!"

Zhou You nodded again and again, very excited about everyone's enthusiasm.

When Huang Jianming and Ma Fatzi saw this, they finally felt an unprecedented pressure. If Zhou Zhou travels for a period of time in the future, the middle and high-end jadeite traveled around will be used to exchange for antiques, isn't that just a disguised squeeze out of their jade market?

Ma Fatzi thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoyou, Uncle Ma knows that you are not short of money, and now he wants to search for more antiques to enrich his treasury." It just so happens that Uncle Ma knows a few collectors who are quite famous in the circle, and he may be able to make some deals with them. ”

"If you have the chance, you must go!"

Zhou You is very excited, but his recent itinerary is a bit tight, so naturally he doesn't dare to give an exact reply.

Huang Jianming also said: "Xiaoyou, although I am not a person in the antique circle, but I have been more or less vassal and elegant a few times, if you are interested, you might as well go to Uncle Huang's house to have a look, maybe there will be unexpected surprises." ”

After Huang Jianming finished speaking, he also secretly decided in his heart that he must allocate manpower and material resources to hoard a batch of exquisite modern artworks. Antiques are hard to find, and valuable antiques are even harder to find, but modern art is not hard to find, with a little thought and money.

And he is not the only one with the same psychology as Huang Jianming, many people present have such thoughts, and even Zhang Yingwu is thinking about whether he should also get some antiques to decorate the façade.

"This is natural, go tonight!"

Zhou You knows that Huang Jianming is not an antique lover, even if he has a collection at home, I am afraid it is not a boutique, and what he said just now is just a façade.

However, Zhou You couldn't have imagined that just because of his measures just now, Mingyuan City, and even the sensitive people in the jewelry shops, pawn shops and other industries around him who received rumors secretly collected all kinds of antiques and artworks, which made the antique collection that had just been rolled up because of the treasure hunt activity recently inspired a new peak.

"Shall we continue?"

Zhang Yingwu didn't want to ruin a good party because of just one Qin Yanan.

But at this moment, Huang Jianming suddenly laughed and said: "Mingyuan City's economy is backward, but our talents are not lagging behind. Now that almost all the gambling stone masters in Mingyuan City are here, it is better for us to take the opportunity to form a jade association to facilitate contact. ”

"Praise!"

"Not bad!"

"What a wonderful idea!"

Zhang Yingwu and others were stimulated by Huang Jianming's suggestion.

It's not that they didn't want to do this before, but it's difficult to get people together, and none of them have the appeal, so they can't organize naturally. However, now that there are people, wool materials, and even anti-Ding figures, the difficulty of organization is naturally not a problem.

Zhang Yingwu immediately thought of something and said: "I heard that when Xiaoyou participated in the Qingyuan public market before, he was awarded the title of honorary director by the Qingyuan Jade Association because of his outstanding performance. Since we want to engage in the Mingyuan Jade Association, we naturally can't fall behind others, and even more so we have to resist the big banner of Xiaoyou. ”

Zhou You hurriedly excused himself and said: "Where is the kid resisting the banner of the Mingyuan Jade Association, the kid can join it, and he will be satisfied." ”

"How can this work?"

"No matter how bad it is, I have to give a director's title!"

"The director can't do it, it's too demeaning for Mr. Zhou's status in the gambling stone world!"

"I think the president of the association is the most suitable. However, there are too many things for the president, and I am afraid that Mr. Zhou's precious time will be delayed!"

Everyone's discussion came and went, and they were enthusiastic, but there was one thing in common, that is, to erect Zhou You as the banner of the Mingyuan Jade Association and resist the beam of the Mingyuan Jade Association.

Huang Jianming suddenly suggested, "How is the honorary president?"

Zhang Yingwu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Yes, not only has the lofty status of the president, but also can avoid delaying Xiaoyou's main business because of the mundane things in the association, it is simply killing two birds with one stone!"

Zhou You was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say at all.

However, you can still hear the thoughts of Huang Jianming and Zhang Yingwu when you travel around. They all wanted to set up the Mingyuan Jade Association and make it impressive, but at the same time, they were afraid that Zhou You would refuse the position of president with a lot of chores and dislike the Mingyuan Jade Association, so they did so many actions.

Soon, this unofficial NGO was quickly established under the leadership of Huang Jianming and Zhang Yingwu.

Zhou You is the honorary president of the Mingyuan Jade Association, and Huang Jianming and Zhang Yingwu, who are busy with things, did not take on the position of president, but Mr. Zhang, who is highly respected and has more leisure time, served as the vice president.

After hastily finalizing, the Mingyuan Jade Association was born.

Mr. Hu, who has always been a witness on the side, suggested: "Since it is an organization, it must be organized." Although the rules and regulations can be learned from other jade associations, the issue of the venue is worth considering. ”

Zhang Yingwu said: "Now that the Mingyuan Jade Association is still in the cradle, everything is simple, it is better to set the temporary scene of the association here first." ”

Mr. Hu laughed and said, "Then your Mingyuan Jade Association is inevitably too cold." Let's not talk about it far away, let's talk about our Qingyuan Jade Association, although it is only a non-governmental organization, but our gathering place is several times more comfortable and dozens of times wider than here. ”

Zhang Yingwu was embarrassed to hear it.

Zhou You suggested: "Since you want to play, you have to play bigger, more formal." It just so happens that I bought a lot of land, and if you're interested, why don't you build our headquarters there? ”

Zhang Yingwu suddenly shouted: "I want to be a neighbor with you, I am optimistic about your museum!"

Huang Jianming also said: "Listening to what you say, I really have to get some land, and I am also optimistic that Xiaoyou's museum can bring new vitality to Mingyuan City, which is like a pool of backwater." ”

Huang Jianming and Zhang Yingwu were the most successful entrepreneurs present, and their decision was undoubtedly a trend, but it made the other members of the Jade Association think a little differently.

Zhang Yingwu thought for a while and made a decision, and asked everyone: "This is Flower and Bird Street, the street is relatively crowded, and it is indeed not suitable for our gang of guys who drive to and fro. In that case, I'm going to open a new jade company next to Xiaoyou's museum, and then make it our headquarters, I wonder what you think?"

"Not bad!"

"It's really heavy traffic. ”

"I couldn't find a parking space when I first came. ”

Everyone expressed their support for Zhang Yingwu's decision.

Anyway, Zhang Yingwu changed his new office location and didn't need them to pay for it, so he could have a comfortable environment to communicate in the future, so why not do it.

"Then it's settled!"

Zhang Yingwu was encouraged by everyone, and his confidence became more and more sufficient.

"Then let's move on to the previous topic. ”

Mr. Hu took out his most proud wool and asked Zhou You for advice: "Xiaoyou, this piece of wool is a high-grade wool that I have treasured, and I have always been very optimistic, but I don't know if you can give some advice?"
