What Tang Feng saw was Jiang Yuan, he really didn't expect Jiang Yuan to appear here, Jiang Yuan had just gotten into his car at this moment, to be precise, it was a convoy, a convoy of three Humvees.

"Damn, our luck seems to be poor. Chen Yan said: "In order to meet the peak season of September and October in the jewelry industry, August is the traditional month to grab resources. ”

Tang Feng just wanted to speak, when a voice came from behind him-I'm sorry, please give way.

Finding that he was in the way of others, Tang Feng hurriedly turned sideways, and several young people walked past him, these young people were all dressed in uniform clothes, wearing the same baseball cap and wearing the same jacket, and the back of their jackets were printed with the words "Chinese Impression", among which the word "Yin" was red, and there was a feeling that the seal was imprinted.

"Hey!" Someone patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, Tang Feng turned his head, it was actually Liu Yue, Liu Yue greeted with a smile: "Mr. Tang, what a coincidence, hello." ”

"Why are you here?" asked Tang Feng.

"Investigation, we are here to investigate Chinese Indian culture. Liu Yue said: "I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Tang here." ”

"Oh. Tang Feng somewhat understood that Indian culture, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are known as the four major traditional Chinese cultural arts. The emblem of last year's Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese Indian Dancing Beijing, has pushed Indian culture to an unprecedented height. In fact, the national collection craze is just a symptom, it is a manifestation of social transformation, consumption upgrading, and the recovery of traditional culture. The revival of traditional culture is imperceptibly affecting the whole of China, and the same is true of Indian culture, such as expert research, college students' investigations, Chen Yan's colleagues changing careers, and jewelry industry predators such as Longbao Company getting involved in the Indian stone market.

"Mr. Tang. Liu Yue's tone suddenly became particularly soft, and she said to Tang Feng, "You have to help us." ”

At this moment, Tang Feng was secretly thinking in his heart, Jiang Yuan of Longbao Company is here, will Yang Chengming of Han and Tang Baoye come? With Han and Tang Baoye entering the northern market in a big way, Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming have begun to fight each other in close combat, and the Yinshi market is the first battle. And he just started the printing stone business at this juncture, how would Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming deal with his little character? Hearing Liu Yue's unusual question, Tang Feng immediately raised his vigilance, and he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you any more." ”

Liu Yue asked, "Is Mr. Tang going to Yuyan Mountain?"

There was no way to hide this, Tang Feng nodded and said, "Yes." "Changhua bloodstone is named after the Yuyan Mountain in the northwest of Changhua, Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province, and the ultimate goal of Tang Feng's trip is not Changhua Town, but Yuyan Mountain in Shangxi Township, the town. Yuyan Mountain is the source of the Grand Canyon in western Zhejiang, although the altitude is only more than 1,300 meters, but because of the surrounding mountains and steep mountains, the mountain is treacherous, and it is difficult to move forward. Jiangyuan and they have a Hummer to go up the mountain, and Tang Feng and they also need to ride in a high-powered car modified by the locals.

"Then you'll be able to help. Liu Yue said: "Our trip is only to Changhua Town, can Mr. Tang take us up to Yuyan Mountain?"

Tang Feng said: "You can go by yourself." ”

Liu Yue said: "We want to go to the site to inspect the deposit, if we don't buy stones, people won't let us get involved, and it's different with Mr. Tang here." ”

"But ......" Tang Feng didn't finish speaking, Chen Yan immediately agreed without saying a word, he said: "No problem, just go together, Miss Liu, let me tell you, as long as you have us, you can go wherever you want......"

Tang Feng didn't have time to listen to Chen Yan's nonsense, he was secretly shaking his head, women, it's really troublesome, especially a knowledgeable woman like Liu Yue.

"Thank you both. Liu Yue didn't notice Tang Feng's expression, and happily ran to inform her classmates and teachers, in this case, Tang Feng had to take them with him.

Archaeology is really a secluded subject, among the eight teachers and students, there is only one girl in Liu Yue, and after greeting them, ten people chartered a modified car from Changhua Town all the way to Yuyan Mountain. Although bloodstone has been mined on a large scale as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it has been difficult to improve the transportation, and the road in extremely poor condition still took hundreds of years of construction by the locals, and ordinary cars cannot drive into it at all.

There is a simple market at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, which is the distribution center of bloodstone trading, and it was already afternoon when Tang Feng and the others came here. The caves of bloodstone are distributed near the Kangshan Ridge of Yuyan Mountain, which is a narrow strip of only five kilometers. In 2005, a piece of bloodstone called "Bahrain Bloodstone", known as China's first bloodstone, was sold at a price of 88.88 million, and this bloodstone was only 35 cm long, 24 cm wide, 51 cm high, weighing only 36 kg, and the average price per gram was as high as 2,400 yuan, much more expensive than gold. More importantly, this bloodstone is still Bahrain bloodstone, and the market price is far inferior to Changhua bloodstone.

Although bloodstone mining has a long history, it has to be excavated by hand until now. Locals usually go up the mountain at dawn to mine and don't bring the bloodstone rough down the mountain until dusk, so the bloodstone trade is carried out in the evening.

There was no hope of going up the mountain, Tang Feng and they had to find a hotel to stay in temporarily, saying that it was a hotel, but in fact it was a rebuilt house, and there were balconies outside a few rooms. There are no big hotels in the market, and the farmhouse hotels can't provide catering services, so the group can only eat instant noodles. After Tang Feng soaked the instant noodles, he glanced at Liu Yue and saw that Liu Yue was also eating instant noodles on the balcony on the second floor, he walked over with a smile and said, "Yo, the eldest lady also eats instant noodles." ”

"People are not the eldest lady. Liu Yue said while eating instant noodles.

Tang Feng asked with some curiosity, "Can you get used to this kind of life?"

Liu Yue said: "Mr. Tang, don't underestimate me, how can I go to archaeology in the future if I can't endure hardships." ”

Tang Feng lifted the lid of the bucket of instant noodles and ate instant noodles with Liu Yue, he said, "Seriously, I really underestimated you." ”

Liu Yue said: "A good family background is not a reason to be lazy, I also have my own pursuits, and girls are no worse than boys, I won the women's 10,000-meter runner-up in the school sports meeting?"

"Oh. Tang Feng nodded and said, "Only two people participated, right?"

"you!" As soon as Liu Yue finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers came from afar, Chen Yan walked up to the balcony and said to Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, today's bloodstone has come down, let's go and see if it's eat." ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It'll be fine right away." ”

Eating instant noodles in a daze, Tang Feng and Chen Yan walked out of the room, some of Liu Yue's classmates were taking pictures everywhere, and some opened their laptops to chat online, obviously not interested in non-professional transactions. However, Tang Feng was not happy for long, and Liu Yue and Liu Yue's teacher Zhang Fengchun also walked out of their respective rooms. Zhang Fengchun was in his forties, wearing myopic glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, much higher than Chen Yan's glasses.

The market is not big, and the four of them did not walk a few steps to the trading site, saying that it is the trading site, but in fact it is even more simple than the black market of cultural relics. A house, a table on the side of the corridor, a money detector on the table, the people in the mountainous area are simple and cute, and there are not so many rules.

There is no trading yet, and customers are free to view the bloodstone rough waiting to be traded. Tang Feng raised his eyes and looked around, only saw Jiang Yuan's Hummer but did not see Jiang Yuan himself, this predator did not appear, Tang Feng felt a lot more at ease.

Soon, the gong sounded, the transaction kicked off, and a buyer beside Tang Feng looked at the time and said strangely: "Why is it a quarter of an hour early today." ”

There is no red tape in the transaction of the cottage, and a group of people are bidding around the stone to be traded, and the one with the highest price wins. Speaking of the beginning, it began, the first piece of rough stone to be traded is 200 kilograms, this stone is gray, either calcite or ground stone, this is the "ground" of bloodstone wool, and the bright red spots on the surface of the whole stone are "blood".

Chen Yan whispered in Tang Feng's ear: "This stone is good, it can be used as an overall sculpture." This is Chen Yan's advantage, he knows how to carve and how to process stone to maximize profits.

The quarryman looked like a migrant worker, and he said in Mandarin full of Zhejiang flavor: "Everyone, the reserve price is 100,000 yuan, and you can ask for the price." ”

Tang Feng was just about to make a bid, and Chen Yan whispered in his ear: "Jiang Yuan, they are here." ”

Tang Feng looked at it in a blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan and the others were walking towards this side, Tang Feng immediately made a decision and decided to quickly take down this stone before Jiang Yuan and them arrived.
