In fact, it is not very difficult to achieve this goal.

Don't forget, after being in the cultural toy market for so long, Hong Yanwu has a presence in many handicraft stores and has made a lot of friends.

These people eat people with short mouths and short hands, and they are willing to guide him when they receive his small favors, so that he can easily understand the inside story.

So since the water is deep, he feels that the things in the store are not worth it, so he remembered to buy furniture from the "Beijing Hardwood Furniture Factory".

He asked these people again, "Can I go directly to the factory to buy jade? Can they sell me? Do you have any acquaintances in the jade factory and jewelry factory?"

Originally, Hong Yanwu wanted to find a way through these people.

Because in accordance with the prevailing regulations, all industries adopt the method of "supplying raw materials, processing and ordering, technical guidance, and purchasing and underwriting" for production enterprises, and manufacturers are not allowed to sell products on their own.

For example, the "Beijing Hardwood Furniture Factory" sells furniture privately, which is an illegal operation.

After a real investigation, not only the factory leaders, but even Wang Hanping were implicated.

This is the reason why he asked the "little daughter-in-law" to pretend to be a Hong Kong businessman.

But he really didn't expect that in the matter of jade, the reality was far better than he expected, and he could really buy it openly.

Since the reform and opening up, the relevant departments of Beijing have gradually increased the number of handicraft enterprises that allow foreign guests to visit.

It's just that after the foreigners visit, they want to buy the goods they like when they see them on the spot, which has a great contradiction with our supply and marketing system.

For example, when Churchill Jr., the grandson of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, visited the Arts and Crafts Factory in Beijing, he was very fond of a cloisonné new product bottle, and immediately asked the people accompanying him to buy this bottle.

But the factory was restricted by the policy, but said that it could not be sold, and repeatedly refused.

It's just that little Churchill still has a bit of an "axis", and people just don't understand it, so they have to buy it.

In desperation, the factory had to call the superior company for instructions, and then the superior company asked its superiors for instructions.

In this way, little Churchill waited from one o'clock in the afternoon until more than four o'clock that day, and when the factory was about to get off work, he finally got a reply that he could buy this product.

As for the problem that this one-meter-high cloisonné bottle product has no packaging, the factory cannot solve it. Then it would have to be carried away by little Churchill himself.

Needless to say, at the time, this was not an isolated case.

So as there are more and more "bar heads" from overseas, there are more and more disputes and troubles caused by this.

In the end, the superiors had no choice, so they had to approve these eleven factories and allow them to sell the products produced and processed by their own factories.

Although in order to comply with the procedures, it is not yet possible to directly go to the manufacturer's account.

All products sold to foreign guests must also issue commercial invoices, and then make up the intermediate purchase and sale procedures, which can be regarded as commercial goods from the factory.

But this is equivalent to manufacturers have a certain degree of independent pricing power, and they are no longer completely bullied by the commercial sector as in the past.

So in fact, Hong Yanwu didn't need to ask anyone at all, he just took the money to these eleven special art factories to buy it.

The only thing to note is that you may have to trade foreign exchange coupons.

It's just that having said that, in view of the characteristics of our humane society, there is no such thing as being humane and not being human, and the shrewd Hong Yanwu will not ignore this.

But what I didn't expect was that if I wanted to sleep, God would send me a pillow.

As soon as he inquired about the situation of these 11 factories, he found that the two largest jade factories in the capital were located at No. 11 Guangming Road, on the north side of Longtan Lake, Chongwen District, and No. 1, Yushu Hall, Chegongzhuang Beili, Xicheng District.

Hey, one is under Xu Bingquan's rule, and the other is Song Guofu's sphere of influence.

That's too beneficial, wouldn't that be easy?

In this way, he begged Xu Chongya separately, pulled Song Guofu, and accompanied them to the road.

Not to mention, it is different to have the favor of the district chief and the section chief as a stepping stone.

Chongwen's Beijing Jade Factory and Xicheng District No. 3 Jade Factory, one is the deputy director in charge of business to receive them, and the other is the business section chief in charge of sales to accompany them.

All of them are very important and very enthusiastic.

When I heard that they were coming, I wanted to buy something good. On the spot, he took the initiative to say that he would give them the lowest price, and then personally took them to the finished product exhibition room.

As a result, Hong Yanwu and their eyes were also eye-opening during this visit.

Because to be honest, there are so many good things in the two jade factories that the shops can't compare even if they tie up a piece.

This issue is mainly determined by the cost of capital and procurement targets of the commercial sector.

In any case, when the commercial sector comes to acquire, there must be a number of funds, and it is impossible to ask for everything good.

As for the purpose of purchasing, it is to sell and earn foreign exchange.

If you take into account the price and the inconvenience of foreigners on the journey, of course, it is easy to sell small pieces and difficult to sell large items.

As a result, most of the commercial outlets are not large products.

In addition, these collected items will be distributed to the jade groups of many stores, and new products will be collected after they are sold.

Therefore, there is no possibility for the factory to set aside a few large warehouses and display all the fine products accumulated over the years.

On the other hand, as a factory, their large and high-quality products seem to have nowhere else to go except to expect the state to buy them, display them in places such as "City Hall", "Diaoyutai", museums, or give them as national gifts.

Even many award-winning works have to be sent back to the original factory after participating in exhibitions in the ministry and the city.

So from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there are still masterpieces that have survived almost every year, and it has naturally reached an astonishing point.

And this is the reason why the employees of the jade factory have always been poorly paid.

Think about it, the profit is not high, and the profit is more and less retained, and then the limited funds are spent on the creation of large-scale works, where is the money to subsidize the employees?

This is called a vicious circle.

If you want to say that the two jade factories really have a good life, it is the two years that the ban on receiving foreign guests has been lifted, allowing them to sell their own products.

Because foreigners are also stupid and have a lot of money these days, their mentality is actually similar to our overseas tour group today.

When you come here to visit, you will be shocked visually, and you don't need to fool around, and you will often spontaneously "buy it".

As a result, the factory became rich, and the workers were much nourished.

Of course, the good things in the factory are not only "many" in quantity, but also the artistic level of these things is also very high, as well as "fine" and "beautiful".

You must know that in the jade factory, there are not only the outstanding works sent by the masters who are now the leading beams, and the excellent works sent to participate in the awards every year, but also the rare treasures left by many famous artists.

For example, before the liberation, there was a song among the artists in the jade industry in Beijing.

"It's called Huazi, Pan Bingheng, Xiao Pepper, Liu Deying, Xiao Zhuge , Wang Datou, Xia Sanyan, it is He Rong. ”

This is not a curse, but refers to the "Four Monsters of Northern Jade" in the jade industry in Beijing, and each sentence slipped out of its own outstanding characteristics.

Later, these four people were all absorbed into the Beijing Jade Factory, and each of them had a good work.

Like Pan Bingheng, the head of the "Four Monsters", this person is bent on jade, and his life is unkempt.

In his later years, he got the nickname of "Jade Glutton", which shows the degree of his obsession.

His main technological achievement was the invention of the method of extracting timber from the nest.

And in 1937, the Qianlong Dynasty had lost the jade pressed gold and silver filigree inlay technology to rekindle, this technique was later called the "gold inlaid jade" technique.

Now his works can still be seen in the factory, such as Jasper's "Waiting for the Moon West Chamber", Songshi's "Erqiao Makeup" and so on.

It is a combination of precious materials such as precious stones, ivory, and coral, and is far from being beautiful, ingenious, and gorgeous than people can imagine today.

In particular, a coral "Six-armed Buddha Lock Dragon" is Pan Bingheng's pinnacle work.

His artistic level far surpasses the "Coral Daiyu Parrot" and "Pretty Agate Inlaid Treasure Clam Buddha" that have been collected by the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and the Philadelphia Blog Museum in the United States.

Liu Deying, he is praised as the grandmaster of three-dimensional flowers in the industry.

His flower works are a combination of three-dimensional round, deep and shallow relief and hollow carving in the process, which is called "playing craftsmanship and seeing kung fu".

You must know that the flower works of the jade in the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties are mostly flat relief, and there are very few products that combine single round and hollow with a single piece, and even if there is, it is only shallow relief.

However, Liu Deying can start to innovate by improving tools and improving process skills.

He is best at making coral flowers, using the material shape of multi-branched branches, and in the production skills, he often uses a drill or a small hook thallium to make the flower branch through the stem and the flipping and folding of the flower is linked. The flowers, leaves, and stems are connected to the three layers of rhyme.

Although, due to the limitations of the tools, only one side of the dense flowers and leaves can be done (i.e., the front).

However, because of the proper arrangement of the chapters, the rolling and folding of flowers, leaves, and stems are orderly and varied, and the work can finally achieve the effect of looking around on three sides.

There are not many of his works preserved in the Beijing Jade Factory, only "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" was conceived and created using a piece of coral material with thick main branches and few branches.

On one side of the bottle is a blooming peony, and on the other side is a tall and tall sycamore with large leaves that connects with the branches and leaves on the cap to the top of the bottle.

Next to the sycamore stands an auspicious phoenix, looking down at the bright peony.

Sycamore branches, birds in pairs, wings ready to leap, like a new autumn scene.

This thing alone is unusually eye-catching among the many boutiques.

Because it is so vivid and vivid, the form of all details is a perfect expression that people can't imagine.

If you don't have any artistic cells, you have to look at it for a while before you can take your eyes off.

Let's talk about the third Wang Shusen, who is famous for his "flower pieces" and "weirdos".

Such as Bodhidharma, Jigong, Zhong Kui, and even Qu Yuan, Li Bai, etc.

The so-called "strange" is the manifestation of Wang Shusen's creative idea of "excellent products must be unique".

His "weirdness" is unconventional and has its own form of expression.

His works can be seen in the factory, such as agate "Qu Zi Xingyin", coral "Guanyin Crossing the Sea", and Songshi "Han Xiangzi".

In addition, Wang Shusen also has a unique agate "pretty" skills.

The agate "Five Geese" created by him is a classic of "no one before and no one after" made of a piece of red white agate, and there are often fourteen pretty color spots.

The five geese are all red crowns, white feathers, and black pupils, and the shape is realistic, vivid, and rich in rhyme. It's like a "live goose".

Undoubtedly, this is a "unique product" that has been sung for the ages, and its value is immeasurable. It is a metaphor for the peaceful and prosperous era of "abundant food and clothing".

As for the representative works of its "flower pieces", the Beijing Jade Factory still has the just-completed Gao Cui's "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" and "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers".

The material quality of these two works is a rare "beautiful jade high material". It is comparable to the "Birthday Picture of the Immortals" he made for the National Day gift in 1979.

You know, that work has won the title of national treasure and is in a permanent collection.

As for the last He Rong, he has specialized in round characters since he was a child. Mainly works of Buddha statues, but also dabbling in utensils, birds and beasts.

In the Beijing Jade Factory, there are his works coral "Flying Buddha", white jade "Flying Sky" and "Imitation Tang Buddha", all of which are Buddha statues with a certain realm.

And his ladies emphasize the noble and graceful temperament. The six-centimeter coral work "Thirteen Sisters" is a model of small material and big work, and has achieved the ultimate effect of applying art according to aptitude.

Xicheng Jade No. 3 Factory, there are also many of their own masterpieces in the inventory.

Like Zhang Yunhe, the "bird Zhang" who specializes in flying birds, Wang Zhongyuan, who is famous for carving jade flowers, can make the whole piece of jade out of the utensils float on the water, and Dong Fengming, who is known as "floating on the water".

All in all, these good products can only be described by the words "Oriental Treasure".

It is a creation of the highest level, a holy relic for people in the industry to worship, and there is no possibility that it will be surpassed by future generations.

If nothing else, because there are too many disturbances in modern society, no one can spend their whole life energy to pursue art so attentively, meticulously, and without distractions.

So in the future, the so-called "masters" will be a scum compared to these things.

Even Hong Yanwu, who is a master who has seen the world, is also relaxed and excited to see these masterpieces beyond people's imagination.

In fact, the key is that these things are unique national treasures, he has never seen them at all, and many skills will never be available again!

And these are only a small part of the inventory of the two jade factories. More of them are the award-winning entries that participated in the selection.

Like the agate color "Hehe Fushou" of the Beijing Jade Factory, the coral "Baolian Lantern", the coral "Rebound Pipa Joy", the green and white jade "Fanzuo Furnace", the coral "Flower Bottle", the jade color "Autumn Bottle", the agate color "Happy Eyebrows", the Xiuyu color "Crane", "Phoenix Peony", the agate "Dragon and Phoenix Ruyi", the plain "Eternal One Bottle", the jade "Five Blessings and Happiness", the lapis lazuli animal "Vientiane Update", the jade flower bottle "Pastoral Sound", the agate color "Amitayus Buddha", the agate flower "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum", Agate "Mirage" and so on.

Jade No. 3 Factory Jasper "Pheasant", "Lotus Kingfisher", Xiuyu "Yellow Chicken", "Peacock", "Danfeng Chaoyang", Jade "Pine Crane", "Heron Lying Lotus", "Sanqiu Bottle", Agate "Dragon Plate", "Shrimp Plate", "Crab Plate" and so on...... Numerous.

These are still rare and fascinating treasures, and any one of them can be displayed in a world-class museum.

So this is Hong Yanwu catching up a little. to catch such a once-in-a-lifetime loophole.

Don't forget, the foreigners who come to visit are basically small pieces, and almost all the large pieces are left in the factory.

In the original history, except for a small part of these things, which were later sent to overseas auctions, were copied by foreigners.

The others ended up being shelved for decades and finally accepted into the National Museum.

As for these incumbents, the last batch of craftsmen with real skills will soon reach retirement age. Then such a high level of creation will soon be no more.

So this is the real last train. A one-of-a-kind acquisition opportunity.

In such a big treasure house, buying one can top ten and hundreds of pieces outside, isn't this the same as picking up money?

Sensei!
