It seems that the spring of Jiulongbi is still a little far away, and it needs to be strengthened.

But what's the use of thinking about that? It's still important to get down to business.

He tentatively called Mr. Zhang Wei and told him that the World Strange Stone King Championship was about to start, and he stopped by to see Mr. Zhang and asked him if he was free.

Teacher Zhang readily agreed and asked Jiulong to come directly to the house.

Kowloon hurriedly went to the fruit store to buy a box of apples, hailed a taxi, and rushed away.

Kowloon didn't bring any tasks this time, so it was natural to see Teacher Zhang a lot.

Teacher Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Jiulong: "Xiao Huang, it seems that you are a person who loves to be lively, since the last time I saw you, I heard that you have made a lot of noise, and I, who is locked in the study every day, have heard about it." ”

"Teacher Zhang, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, I have heard a lot of strange stories about Teacher Zhang. ”

Kowloon responded.

"Really? ”

Mr. Zhang has heard too many good things about him, what Liuzhou geek, Liuzhou pen, Liuzhou market vane and the like, his ears can hear the cocoon, this Kowloon, I also want to win a good impression, and listen to what he says.

"Teacher Zhang, I heard that a big boss in Guizhou came over this time and made a big deal of 30 million, and the bosses operating in the market have made money, and some of the stores have been emptied, I heard that they didn't come to your house?"

Jiulong paused to see Teacher Zhang's reaction.

Teacher Zhang listened with a smile on his face, and Jiulong continued.

"I also heard that Mr. Zhang is far away from the market, and he has not had much business in the past few years, and he makes a living by publishing books to make some money. ”

After Jiulong finished speaking, he continued to observe Teacher Zhang's reaction. Teacher Zhang asked if there was anything else?

"No, but I'm worried about Mr. Zhang. Kowloon pretended to be very concerned.

"What are you worried about, do you think it's a good thing to sell stones like this?" asked Teacher Zhang.

"I don't understand, I'd like to hear about it. ”

Teacher Zhang's unexpected answer made Jiulong stunned, and he hurriedly listened to it.

"The way of doing business, at one time and another, sometimes it is a good thing to ship in large quantities, and sometimes it is a bad thing to ship in large quantities. ”

Teacher Zhang said a few words and stopped, waiting for Jiulong to ask.

"You're saying there's a problem with bulk shipments?"

Kowloon really asked.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's a good thing. ”

Teacher Zhang's words became shorter and shorter, and Jiulong became anxious.

"There are words in the words, and Mr. Zhang explained it clearly, I don't understand it a little. ”

Kowloon can't wait.

"Do you know what you're swatting this time?"

Teacher Zhang asked.

"It is said to be basically a large fossil. ”

Kowloon answered quickly.

"Do you know the situation of Dahua's origin?"

Teacher Zhang still asked.

"It is said that the resources have bottomed out. ”

Kowloon seemed to understand something after answering.

"The resources are almost gone, the boss is coming to the bottom, and if you sweep it like this once or twice, what will you sell if you specialize in large fossils?"

Mr. Zhang's perspective is different.

"yes, what then?"

Kowloon asked urgently.

"In the future, you can operate other stone species, but it is Yashi that can be operated for a long time. ”

Jiulong felt that Mr. Zhang had only made me understand one thing, but it brought out new questions that I didn't understand.

"Yashi, I remember that Mr. Zhang said before, why do you say that Yashi can continue to operate for a long time?"

Kowloon suddenly had a new curiosity, what could be operated for a long time must be very viable and attractive, and Kowloon was eager to figure it out.

Teacher Zhang took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, Jiulong quickly picked up the lighter on the table and lit it for Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang spit out a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Yashi is created with strange stones, it has an artistic image or a certain meaning form created by the creator, the theme to be expressed or a certain interest, can objectively reproduce reality, and express thoughts and emotions naturally and harmoniously.

"Strange stones, like the sun, moon and stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, frost, snow, grass and trees, are natural objects without consciousness, but they naturally form unique shapes, textures, shells, colors, and patterns, which can become creative elements and be used by me to create, and strange stones are the raw materials used in creation.

"In the past and now, most people do not sell Yashi, but strange stones, in other words, what they sell is not artwork, but raw materials, in the future, Yashi artworks with artistic content and humanistic connotation will be more popular. ”

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking in one breath, he asked rhetorically: "Do you know why it can continue to operate for a long time?"

Mr. Zhang's words were an unexpected gain from Kowloon's trip, and it also opened another window.

"Thank you very much Mr. Zhang, for waking up the dreamer with a word. But I also want to ask, have you ever sold stones at home in the past few years?"

Kowloon asked, puzzled.

"Sell, you can sell a few pieces a year, and I don't have any rent pressure and no big expenses.

"Over the years, I have run publications, published books, traveled to the north and south, and made many friends, many friends from other places will come to me when they come to Liuzhou, some come to see my stone museum design, some come to see my layout and furnishings, and some want to come and gouge out their eyes. ”

"What is gouging an eye?"

Kowloon chimed in.

"It's a special digging up of high-quality stones, good stones can also be cut love, but they can't be taken away too much, I have indicators, no more than one piece per month, now it's different from before, it used to be rich in resources. ”

Teacher Zhang said with a look of nostalgia.

"Yes, there were plenty of resources in the past, Mr. Zhang told me the story of the business in the past, you must have a lot of tricks. ”

Kowloon always has something to be curious about.

The past is also always reminiscent.

"In the mid-to-late nineties, my resident guests purchased a large number of strange stones from the Hongshui River, chartered a car to run along the river every day, and there was a harvest every day, at that time there were many stones and good and cheap, one hundred and two hundred, three hundred and five hundred, and the following several small warehouses were full to Liuzhou.

At that time, I basically dealt with Taiwanese customers, and they would call me a few days in advance to buy goods in Liuzhou, and I would also go back to Liuzhou two days in advance, take down some of the fine products on the market, buy them for more than 3000 pieces, pull them back to the warehouse, throw away the seats, and put them together with the goods recovered from the place of origin. ”

Teacher Zhang paused, refilled a cup of tea for Jiulong, and took a sip of hot tea himself.

Jiulong was stunned when he heard this, Mr. Zhang actually threw away the matching seat, and others still expected the matching stone to be sold at a good price, which was too unexpected for Jiulong, and it was up to him to see what new tricks he had.
