Episode 184 The Passionate Years
When the car arrived at the Supa River, there was a long queue, and many jade buyers had to get out of the car and walk in, and there were hundreds of small stalls selling Huanglong jade and Yellow Wax Stone along the long river.
They went to the house of Wu Dafa, a jade farmer, who had a horse's face, was lean and smart, and although he lived in a dilapidated simple house by the river, six or seven dogs of various sizes barked at people from 100 meters away.
Xiao Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale, Wu Dafa hurriedly shouted, and the dogs meekly wagged their tails.
When he saw the old boy coming, his eyes lit up, and he knew that the big patron was coming, and he greeted them and made tea, and welcomed them into the house.
The old playboy shouted directly: "Dafa, show me if there's anything good, don't hide it." ”
Wu Dafa accompanied the smiling face on the side: "Old boy, you know, now that the mining area has been taken away by the government, how can there be any new goods?"
"You old fox, won't you take how much money I have spent on you? ”
Wu Dafa accompanied the smiling face: "Old boy, you know exactly what I have at home, I can show you, but there is one, if you like it, the price cannot be less, I don't know what to do in these years, every time I sell it, I regret it, and it will rise again in a few days." ”
"What so much nonsense, hurry up and open it, when will I not be dry?" the old playboy was a little impatient.
"Okay, come to my bedroom," Wu Dafa led the group into the inner room.
Next to the bed were two shiny safes, and he said, "I can touch them even when I'm asleep, and these are all my belongings." ”
He stretched out his hand, opened the bottom layer, and turned over the red flannel cloth, revealing a large yellow stone half a meter square: "In 2008, I sold it to Lao Zhao for 100,000 yuan, and in 2009 he sold it back to me. ”
The old playboy skillfully lit the lights and looked at it, and said directly: "I took this 1.5 million yuan." Then he lifted himself up and walked out the door.
Wu Dafa hurriedly stopped: "You want to be a bandit, no." ”
The old playboy was disdainful: "Wu Dafa, tell me, if I hadn't taken care of you every time I raised the price, you would have been where you are today? If I don't come for a few months, you want to forget me." ”
Wu Da stood in a daze, speechless.
He knew very well that when he was in the department store business, he took out a loan of 200,000 yuan in the bank, and he couldn't open the store just by relying on the villagers, so he had to go out to work.
Don't look at Wu Dafa's three small houses surrounded by stone and mud courtyard walls, but the three cars parked at the door, a black German car, a green off-road, and an old pickup truck, are all his, and the loan has been repaid early, the land has also been bought, and a big house is being built, and the cost is more than 700,000 yuan.
So he is also a local rich man, of course, the old playboy has helped him a lot, although Wu Dafa is reluctant, think about it or forget it, as an old playboy favor.
Subsequently, he took the old boy and them to Zou Wengui's house on the other side of the river, and the two families were separated by the Supa River more than 50 meters wide.
The so-called cave is a water grid with stones to block a piece of water surface with a river bank as the boundary, and the entire Supa River is divided into large and small water grids by stones.
Wu Dafa took the old children to see a piece of the piece, a total of about 20 square meters.
"According to the size of each family's field by the river, draw out their own water surface, must be next to the riverside field, so this is the river surface of our two families, and the other few give us money, even if they dig together, the cost is tens of thousands of yuan a year. ”
Nearby villagers have taken a stake in the river in the form of contributions, and they have two or three people per shift, and when the river falls, they begin to drain the water outward, touching around the dozens of square meters with small nets and human hands, hoping that each time the water rises to bring good luck.
"Recently, it is the rainy season, the river always can't fall, we wait, and we are not in a hurry, the stones are rolled down with flowing water, to whomever the water surface is anyone's, nearly ten days and a half have not caught anything good. ”
Most of Wu Dafa's materials come from his past inventory and purchases from neighboring villages.
"Two years ago, we can sell it ourselves, now the riverbed has been turned over many times, good material is getting harder and harder to find, the last time I got a piece of cake in May, happy that we are all sitting in the water, you hug me to see, sold 100,000 yuan at the Kunming Stone Fair, on a family of 10,000. ”
Wu Dafa recalled the discovery of Huanglongyu here, all felt incredible, he said to Kowloon: "In 2004, we built a reservoir here, a construction team of Gui Autonomous Region, I knew that this stone was called Yellow Wax Stone, said it was an ornamental stone, hired us to give them back, carrying 100 catties is 30 yuan, everyone got a basket to carry the stone, lined up and waited for the people of Gui Autonomous Region to come to the scale.
After carrying it like this for a year, we didn't think this thing was valuable, we just felt that we could make money without going out to work, and we were quite happy. Wu Dafa felt stupid when he talked about that experience: "We don't know the value, we only know that Lao Guang likes yellow wax stone."
Later, a boss of Gui Autonomous Region in Mangshi bought yellow wax stone for dozens of yuan, made a pair bracelet, and sold it for 600 yuan, the bracelet story has a name, surname and location, and 600 yuan is enough to make Wu Dafa dumbfounded.
This bracelet, which has multiplied more than ten times, has become the starting point of a new boom in investment in the traditional jadeite market in Mangshi.
"In the Mangshi market, which sells jadeite, yellow wax stone can also be sold at this sky-high price, no wonder yellow wax stone can become popular. Jiulong finally understood the ins and outs, and he spoke more carefully than Master Yu Ying.
Wu Dafa continued his story: "The jade boss asked where the stone that could be used to make a bracelet was, and many people gathered on the Supa River, and at this time, the locals really understood the value of the yellow stone.
"After 2005, the stones in the river were gradually sold out regardless of the car, and the locals didn't know what price to charge.
"The Lingnan area is a place where traditional yellow wax stone is played, and yellow wax stone has such good quality, but it is not called jade, it is called frozen wax.
"These people who make jadeite in the south come to see things, and everyone knows that if there is water, there will be minerals.
"Around March 2006, the people were so great that they found Little Black Mountain along the veins. ”
From picking up stones in the river to going up the river to looking for ore veins, Wu Dafa has been popularized too much: "I am like going to a university, everyone is looking for jade mines in the mountains, but the reason is still clear, the stones rush into the big river with the tributaries, and seven or eight tributaries go to the mountains one by one, and you know that there is Huanglongyu in Xiaoshan Mountain." ”
