Episode 281 Pick up stones and get rich
When he heard that someone in Guangzhou came to buy it, he traveled thousands of miles to Guangzhou and came to Yu Jun's store.
Han Feng and Yu Jun's hands held each other strongly, and in Han Feng's heart, the warmth of "I finally found an organization" spontaneously appeared.
Guangzhou, the distribution center of Chinese jade, concentrates the most advanced and fashionable jade carving technology, and endows the silent stone with the soul of the silent stone jumping with the latest concepts and perspectives at the forefront of reform and opening up.
Those stones that Han Feng is familiar with have become so strange and capricious here, like a street child wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking new from the inside out.
I looked at it and touched it and touched it, and yes, these palace-level beautiful jade carvings are none other than the Karamay jade on the Gobi Desert! However, in Guangzhou, its name is: Golden Silk Jade.
The two have a feeling of hating each other.
One is eager to understand the market, the other is looking forward to the origin information, one can make the black chicken become a phoenix, and the other has a lot of resources.
When Yu Jun learned that Han Feng's travel of thousands of miles south to inspect the market was purely a personal act, he couldn't help but be in awe.
This is a person who really wants to do things and can definitely get things done.
Such a person shines with the light of ideals in his heart and is full of passion for life.
If a thing is first and foremost an ideal before it becomes a career, then it will move forward bravely.
Yu Jun knew everything and told Han Feng all the relevant information he had.
When Han Feng learned that there was also a group of people in Shanghai collecting, carving, and dealing in gold silk jade, he immediately wanted to fly to Shanghai.
In the next few days, Han Feng visited the famous Hualin Jade City and Huadiwan Strange Stone Market in Guangzhou, visited the jade collector Huang Yi, talked with them, learned about the sales situation and market demand, and met with Huang Jue, a jade carving master who has been using gold silk jade as a raw material to create jade carving works for many years.
Han Feng didn't expect it, and Xinjiang people didn't expect that Karayi jade would be so popular in Guangzhou, and everyone was full of admiration and confidence, and was full of optimism about the market prospects.
Yu Junli invited Han Feng to join the Guangzhou Golden Silk Jade Culture Promotion Association he founded.
Han Feng gladly accepted.
On the return trip, Han Feng was entrusted by President Yu Jun to act as an envoy between Guangzhou and Karamay, paving the way for communication and cooperation between the two places.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
When Han Feng showed the jade carving photos taken from Guangzhou to the relevant leaders of the Karamay government and briefly described the market of Karamay jade in Guangzhou, everyone was in high spirits.
The curtain of cooperation between production and marketing has been opened.
At the same time, the Guangzhou Golden Silk Jade Culture Promotion Association held the first golden silk jade exhibition at the Guangzhou Art Museum, and Han Feng took Boss Zhu and several other Xinjiang people to present the golden silk jade rough stone in front of the eyes of Guangzhou people.
The stone is shattering, such a beautiful and gorgeous masterpiece of nature, which brings people at the same time, it is also deeply shocking.
The golden silk jade from the Silk Road in the far western regions was in the limelight and famous in Guangzhou on the Maritime Silk Road.
Taking advantage of this spring breeze, Han Feng rushed to Shanghai.
In a big hotel, he found Mr. Zhang, who was introduced by Yu Jun to operate Jinsiyu.
It's just that Shanghainese people are not called Jin Siyu, but Loulan Yu and Yadan Yu.
People who play Lou Lanyu know that there is a big collector named Huang Wei in Shanghai, who has been collecting Lou Lanyu since 2005, and it is said that his collection of Lou Lanyu is a rare treasure, and the best Lou Lanyu in the world may have been collected by him.
There is also a Shanghai carving master Yuan Xin, the selection of Lou Lanyu, carved out of the works are very exquisite, not only attracted the attention of the industry, but also won many awards, the collector Mr. Huang Wei has collected a lot of Yuan Xin's master works.
Han Feng met these two god-level figures as he wished.
The same hobbies, common topics, collided with sparks.
Each school has its own characteristics, Lingnan school jade carving and Shanghai school jade carving, two flowers, each with its own strengths and charm.
Han Feng's eyes widened again, it was still Karamay jade, and after the carving of the master of the Shanghai School, it was simply a little stone into gold, which was breathtaking.
It was enough to make him sleepless for a few days and nights was the collection of Mr. Huang Wei, who called "jade with precious light", which was on the hall of elegance and was incomparably beautiful.
The flowers bloom in the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, and the aesthetics of distance are often more shocking.
Xinjiang, in the northwest border, is relatively lagging behind in information, and I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain, and the inconspicuous stone at the door of my house is a priceless treasure in the hands of others!
It is undeniable that the first-tier cities of Guangshang and North are indeed the most important sales places for gems and jade, and only by understanding their aesthetics and needs can we truly achieve seamless connection between production and marketing.
Han Feng's next destination: Beijing.
No one asked him to do it, and no one reimbursed him, it was completely spontaneous and stemmed from an inner impulse.
People live a lifetime, and they always have to do something, especially what others have not done or cannot do.
Xinjiang not only has oil, but also Hetian jade, as well as golden silk jade! Oil can make the country rich, stones can make the people earn money, and the country is rich and the people are strong.
Of course, he is happy to realize his ideals and make money at the same time.
The news brought back by Han Feng deeply inspired the relevant leaders of the Karamay government and made the stone farmers who picked up stones happy.
The embarrassment of "golden silk" finally underwent a "big reversal" in 2009, and the price began to climb all the way. In 2003, the "jewel light" that could be bought for a few dozen yuan at most, in 2009, it cost about two or three thousand yuan to buy.
And now, the "jewel light" of the same color, don't even think about it if you don't have one or two hundred thousand yuan, and the expensive one even exceeds 500,000 yuan.
At present, the price of 1 gram of "gem light", the highest grade of "golden silk jade", can be sold for 5,000 yuan, while in 2003, the price was only about 10 yuan.
Even for more common varieties, the price of 1 gram of "golden silk jade" is 500 yuan, while in 2003, the price of 1 gram was only 1 yuan.
At the same time, the herdsmen near the "Devil's Town" in Karamay have also collectively lifted themselves out of poverty and become rich.
Before "picking up stones" became an industry, the annual income of local herders was only about 10,000 yuan, but as the price of gold silk jade soared, the annual income of a local "stone picking" family soared to 600,000 yuan.
The "Jewel King" from Karamay is a woman in her 40s, who used to work in the beauty industry, and in 2001 began to pick up "jewel light" on the Gobi Desert.
On last year's National Day, one of her "jewel lights" weighing 1,050 grams was bought by a collector in Shanghai for 2.8 million yuan.
Because of "Golden Silk Jade", the people near the "Devil's Town" live in villas and drive small cars.
The popularity of "Golden Silk Jade" continues to soar, and its popularity is getting higher and higher.
In Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Urumqi and other places, collectors and consumers regard "golden silk jade" as another hot topic after jadeite and Hetian jade.
