Chapter 954: Pretending to be confused
readx;
Zhuang Rui is really ashamed, he has joined the Jade Association for several years, but as a director of the association, Zhuang Rui's understanding of the association is limited to which direction the door opens, this is still when he went to get the appraisal certificate, and he has not participated in the routine meetings held every year.

However, Zhuang Rui has gained a lot of benefits from the association, not to mention the last time he used the Jade Association to participate in the Myanmar public market, the appraisal of the jade jewelry in the "Qin Ruilin" store is basically taken out of the association for free.
Although Zhuang Rui did not fill in the pretext, but as a director of the association, he saves a lot of worry and spends a lot of money every year.
Zhuang Rui enjoys the treatment of the Jade Association every year, but he has not fulfilled his obligations, although Zhuang Rui has become more and more famous in the antique industry in the past two years, but in the Jade Association, some people have begun to gossip.
Especially since Zhuang Rui made a move in Myanmar more than two years ago, basically everything he has done has nothing to do with jade, which also makes many people question Zhuang Rui's level, and then have questions about his identity as a director.
"Uncle Shi, this matter is wrong with me, I will definitely participate in more activities of the association in the future......"
Zhuang Rui knew that the old man had taken on a lot of gossip for him, and the old man wanted to save face, so he introduced himself to the association, and because of his own reasons, others questioned him, and the old man was of course in a bad mood.
"It's not that you want to participate in the activities of the association, but to pay more attention to the jade shop, a few years ago you made a great name because of gambling stones, but what about the past two years? I haven't heard of you identifying a jade object, no wonder others gossip......
The old man sighed, he had high expectations for Zhuang Rui, especially Zhuang Rui's keen observation and intuition about jade, which made the old man once regard Zhuang Rui as his heir in appreciating jade, but Zhuang Rui's behavior in the past two years made the old man a little disappointed.
"Yes, Zhuang Rui, your reputation in Myanmar was very good a few years ago, but you haven't participated in the public market for two years in a row, and now few people mention you, I think you also have to show up more, otherwise you will soon be forgotten......
Hu Rong also echoed the words of the old man next to him, these three hundred and sixty lines are actually the same truth, similar to the entertainment industry, you have to make a little noise from time to time and have more exposure, so as to maintain its status in the rivers and lakes.
Don't look at the jade industry to talk about professional eyesight, but there are some people who are not at a high level and want to be on top, but there are not a few, they can't find Zhuang Rui to evaluate, then there is a bit of lack of morality in their mouths, and some people even say that Zhuang Rui is quite unbearable, and Zhuang Rui's achievements in the past few years are just good luck in their eyes.
Hu Rong has also heard some rumors in the past two years, but he knows that Zhuang Rui's business is big, so he didn't put his mind on jade, so he didn't tell Zhuang Rui.
"Show up, how do you show up, and then go to gamble on the stone?"
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly when he heard this, he is not short of money now, although he is not afraid of many good things, but in his opinion, gambling stones is outright cheating.
This Taobao salvage shipwreck is picking up objects from God, but going to gamble on stones, that is to bully people with aura, Zhuang Rui is afraid that he will be retributed for using too much aura, and he is really a little taboo in his heart.
Therefore, Zhuang Rui also deliberately did not go to Myanmar to participate in the public auction in the past two years, otherwise, with his current financial resources, it is enough to sweep away all the valuable jade rough stones on the public market.
"You don't need to gamble on stones, that thing is more luck than strength, just participate in a little more appraisal activities organized by the association when you are fine......
The old man is not really angry with Zhuang Rui, he just wants Zhuang Rui to pay more attention to jade, and some of his unique methods of identifying jade have been passed on to Zhuang Rui, he doesn't want his decades of hard work to be passed on.
"Uncle Shi, I know, I will definitely participate in such an opportunity in the future, and I won't disgrace your old man......" Zhuang Rui couldn't help but have a fever on his face when he heard some rumors in the industry that Hu Rong said.
Although Zhuang Rui has been in the antique industry and archaeology in recent years, his reputation in the jade circle is twilight, and few people talk about his achievements in the past few days.
"Ancient, gambling stones, in fact, can also see a person's understanding of jade, on the one hand, in fact, it is also a kind of jade identification, Zhuang Rui, you have time, but you might as well go to participate in a public market, it will surely make many people shut up their mouths......"
Hu Rong's words made Zhuang Rui and Gu Tianfeng stunned for a moment at the same time, and then remembered that this was the jade tycoon of Myanmar, and couldn't help laughing.
The old man agreed with Hu Rong's words, and said with a smile: "That's right, I don't worry about Xiao Rui's work, he won't indulge in this, it's good, you can try it again if you have the chance......"
"Hey, Uncle Shi, you persuaded me back then, how can this gambling stone be reversed now?" Zhuang Rui couldn't help but joke when he saw that the old man's mood had improved.
"This is for people, you made a name for yourself in the Myanmar public market two years ago, but you can retreat bravely, and you haven't gone to the public market for two years, this kind of perseverance is not something that ordinary people can do, so I believe you will not be addicted, then again, with your net worth, if you want to gamble and go bankrupt, it is not easy......"
The old man laughed out loud as he spoke, he was the honorary consultant of the "Dingguang Museum" specially hired by Zhuang Rui, and this old man still knew a thing or two about how much wealth Zhuang Rui had.
"Hehe, that's the old man, you taught well, if it weren't for your reminder, maybe the panties would have been lost......"
Zhuang Rui lost no time in patting the old man's ass, and after seeing that the old man was in a good mood, he reached out and picked up the package at his feet, and said, "Uncle Shi, you have been in good health for the past two years, and you don't know this craft...... Did you leave it behind?"
When pouring tea for the old man just now, Zhuang Rui found that the old man's hands were still very steady, presumably he usually paid attention to exercise, and giving the old man this piece of material to relieve his fatigue should make him happy.
"Stinky boy, I have carved a lot of objects for you? This bracelet and jade pendant ornament, which one is missing?
In fact, as soon as Zhuang Rui entered the door, Gu Tianfeng saw that he was holding a piece of wool, but he was angry in his heart, and he didn't bother to ask, but now he felt comfortable, and he was also a little curious about what Zhuang Rui was taking.
You must know that Zhuang Rui has asked Gu Tianfeng for a lot of shots, but the jade materials he brought every time can be said to be top-level materials, and even if he sells them, they are priceless.
As the leading jade master in China, carving objects also depends on the material.
A person like the old man Gu, if he takes a crooked melon and cracked jujube-like material, it is to give him more money, and he will not use the carving knife, on the contrary, if he takes rare and rare jade materials, it is for nothing, and the old man is also happy to do it.
The jade materials before Zhuang Rui, whether it was the imperial green used as a pendant or the multi-colored Hetian chalcedony used as a fruit bowl, were all rare treasures that Gu Tianfeng had been seeing for decades, so the old man also had some expectations for the materials that Zhuang Rui took this time.
After Zhuang Rui heard the old man's words, he deliberately made a look of disgrief, and said: "Hey, uncle, if your old man says so, I won't open this thing, Brother Hu is also playing with jade, I'll carve this object for him......"
"I'm still rare, old man, I've never seen any good material in the past few decades, is it more precious than the imperial green?"
The old man pursed his lips, after he stepped down, he often had contact with his grandchildren, and he was also a bit of an old child, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's words.
"Well, since you said so, I'll show you a look and take ......"
Zhuang Rui spoke, smiling evilly and opening the package that was wrapped in layers of sheets that he had found temporarily.
The old man didn't bring reading glasses, and when the package was opened, he didn't really see it, but Hu Rong, who was sitting on the side, was young, and it was time to make his hand when he was in his forties.
"This ...... This material ......"
Hu Rong didn't care about any rudeness at the moment, so he took a step forward and hugged this piece of superb Huang Fei to the door of the house, and carefully checked it at the sunlight outside the house.
"Zhuang Rui, go ...... Go to the back room and take out my glasses......"
Although the old man didn't see what kind of material this was, he also felt it from Hu Rong's actions, this piece of material must be extraordinary, otherwise Hu Rong, who was calling for wind and rain in the jadeite producing area, would definitely not be so out of shape.
Hu Rong took advantage of Zhuang Rui to enter the house to get reading glasses, and said to Gu Tianfeng: "Old man Gu, what you just said is still okay?
Although I haven't taken a closer look, but such a superb Huang Fei, I may not be able to see a piece in a hundred years, and Hu Rong doesn't care what the old and love the young, and the old man who wants to fool will say it to death.
As I said earlier, famous artists also need good materials, and if you want to make a name for yourself in the jade industry, you must have a few masterpieces that can shock the industry, so that people can recognize your status in the rivers and lakes.
However, there are a lot of carvers and designers, but good materials are hard to find, and now Hu Rong sees this piece of superb Huang Fei, and he can't care about the face of his jade design master, so he actually played a little trick. ,
"What did I just say? Xiaohu, you see that I am old, I will forget what I just said, alas, old, really old......"
It's just that what Hu Rong didn't expect was that this old man was like an old fox, and he didn't fall into his trap at all, so he simply pretended to be confused.
