Episode 242 Enlightenment Education

Mr. Lai is very grateful, his heart is happy, this time he finally has a harvest, not in vain, he feels that he has worked hard, and finally opened a door to wealth, and he is excited when he thinks about it.

Affirmed by the collectors, Mr. Lai burst into tears at the corners of his eyes, and he talked about the hardships of Kunshi, especially mentioning the white eyes that he had been subjected to when he went to Kunshan, the place of origin, which seemed to be very aggrieved.

Mr. Lai asked a lot of other convenient questions in Kunshan, and he also hoped to start from Kunshan and strive to find a breakthrough.

After all, Kunshan is the authentic Kunshi production area, the last time he went, maybe it was too abrupt, and it was normal to be unwelcome, this time again, you must put in a little more effort, as long as you get the approval of Kunshan experts who play Kunshi, everything else is easy to say.

President Xu also knows everything and says everything, even though he meets Mr. Lai's requirements.

It wasn't until Mr. Lai had nothing to say that Kowloon seized the opportunity and asked President Xu some questions about the convenience of collecting.

As a metropolis, Shanghai has a cultural heritage, as long as they know what they like, it will definitely help their stone business.

What's more, he is also very interested in antiques, as long as it is a collection, many places have something in common, today it is rare to meet everyone who collects, and it is still necessary to learn something, so he asked Mr. Xu what is the trick of collecting.

President Xu said: "There are three main conditions that must be met for a collection.

The first is to have a vision, which comes from the learning of book knowledge and the accumulation of practical experience;

Especially collectors who are just entering the market, if they lack knowledge, lack vision, and are not good at learning, they will suffer a big loss in this era of proliferation of fakes.

Secondly, it is necessary to have a certain amount of financial support to obtain genuine products from sellers, markets or institutions with a good reputation and credibility.

Now it's almost impossible to get rich overnight by shopping at street stalls and picking up leaks.

Third, there must be a very healthy collecting circle, and a good circle of Tibetan friends can communicate and learn from each other, and constantly improve their own level and quality.

If you are not careful, you will repeat at a shallow level and at a low level, and it is difficult to have real improvement and progress.

Kowloon nodded frequently, eyesight, financial resources, and good circles are indispensable, and Kowloon remembered.

President Xu talked about the fact that the thing he is most proud of is investing in the collection of Lingbi stones, and he told such a story.

At the end of the 80s of the last century, due to the work relationship, President Xu's "hobby" began to extend and aimed at ornamental stones.

At first, he just played with old stones, and later began to study and collect Lingbi stones.

The name of Lingbi Stone is to take the meaning of "the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the stones are like Bi", and the Lingbi Stone as "art in art" in history is famous for its strange and strange, tenacious and pure, golden and jade wonderful sound, and the deification of the heavenly carving.

The body is exquisite, delicate and delicate, pretty, and wonderful, and it is famous for its hard as iron, dark as black, light as jian, warm as jade, and sound like a bell and won the cherished love of the stone appreciators of the past dynasties, and it has been brilliant for thousands of years.

It is said that Qianlong praised the Lingbi stone as "the first stone in the world".

President Xu still believes that Lingbi Stone is the king of mountains and stones.

He felt that the Lingbi stone was very promising, but he didn't know where the stone came from.

Once, President Xu also met two friends from the local cultural station, Xu Chao and Wei Qiang, in a chance exchange, and under their leadership, they took a car and worked hard to come to Lingbi.

At that time, only the county guest house in the whole county seat of Lingbi could still receive visiting guests, and there were few people in the county to play Lingbi stone, because the price of Lingbi stone was too cheap at that time, no one realized that there was a natural treasure that had not yet been developed near Yugou Town, which was more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

Xu Chao and Wei Qiang drove President Xu to Yugou Town, where there were a few farmers who were collecting Lingbi stones, and they continued to bump deeper into the "small shop", where they finally saw the surface stones exposed on the hillock.

President Xu looked at it and was excited, why are there Lingbi stones all over the mountains here?

President Xu hurriedly asked a few local farmers to dig up stones, dig up small stones and bring them back to Yugou, too big to give up, at that time the stone skin is generally better, and the labor to dig the stone a day is less than a few dozen yuan, the stone does not cost money at all.

President Xu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that the excavated Lingbi stone did not have a few favorites, and he thought for a long time before he figured out that it was not that there were no good stones, but that these farmers did not know what a good stone was, how could they dig up a good one.

What to do?

It's impossible for me to do this kind of work, it's not that I can't endure hardship, but I have other businesses, and I don't have time to spend here.

In the evening, he invited several local farmers who were interested in stones to the "Bridge Hotel" to gather and educate them on the selection of stones.

Lingbi is different from Shanghai, the locals have hardly ever come into contact with the traditional stone offering experience, and President Xu can only see what kind of stone, so he will instruct them what type of stone to call.

For example, this time, President Xu taught the most traditional vertical stones, and the next time, the farmers prepared the most for President Xu to appreciate stones.

And when President Xu stumbles upon the landscape stone and guides him, then President Xu may harvest these two types of stones next time.

In this way, after repeated exchanges and many times, President Xu not only improved himself, but also brought out a group of stone appreciation enthusiasts.

For rural people who have no source of more information, the enlightenment education they receive can be directly linked to making a fortune.

As a result, the first educated stone appreciation enthusiasts told others the sporadic knowledge that President Xu had brought, so that more and more local people became interested in stone appreciation.

With more and more people who love stones and understand stones, the probability of President Xu seeing good stones every time is also increasing, especially in this atmosphere, the relationship established with local stone friends and the fun and harvest are really unforgettable.

I remember that every time President Xu went to Yugou, he would invite a group of stone friends to hold a banquet in the hotel to impart more new knowledge to them, and they were also making continuous progress in learning.

Among this group of stone friends, most of the people who are still playing now have become local stone appreciators, everyone, and some even have assets of more than 100 million, and these people have also become sincere friends of President Xu, and they still maintain good contact to this day.

The only difference is that in the past, President Xu was invited to Lingbi, but now as long as President Xu says to go to Lingbi, these old friends will rush to invite and receive them, and this heart-warming feeling is far more happy than getting a stone.

For the early days of playing with stones, there are still a few very legendary past events worth recalling.
