Chapter 861: The Spirit Stone That Was Auctioned

"Xiao Fang, you're not kind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After being pulled out of the crowd by Fang Yi, Lao Shi's face was full of unhappiness, "Your Uncle Shi, I want to spend money to buy it, you don't sell it, it's good now, you haven't lost a penny, right?

"Uncle Shi, that thing isn't worth that much money. ”

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "If you really like it, I'll carve another one for you when I go back, and it's over, I promise, as long as you can come up with similar materials, I can carve an identical one for you." ”

"Well, can it be the same? Even if it's the same, it doesn't mean the same. ”

Lao Shi smiled bitterly, in his opinion, Fang Yi's work has already reached his creative subversion, such things are made in a flash of inspiration, and they are not produced on an assembly line, how can they be exactly the same.

Moreover, the seal that Fang Yi carved out in front of everyone's eyes, in less than two hours, this matter could spread throughout the entire jade line, so this seal became more and more precious, even if Fang Yi carved another one, it would not be as famous as this seal.

"Uncle Shi, then I can't help it. Fang Yi said: "You can't sell it, and if I keep it in my hands, it will be remembered, so it's better to donate it, Uncle Shi, the matter has come to this, let's stop worrying." ”

In fact, for Fang Yi, as long as the old stone can come up with a similar material, he can really carve another Shoushan national stone without any difference, of course, because the difference in the material itself cannot be counted in it.

"Okay, that's it, but you owe me something. ”

The old stone also knew that if Fang Yi was not short of money, then his choice was correct, compared to one million, the Shoushan National Stone collected by the Gem and Jade Association would undoubtedly make Fang Yi's reputation even greater.

Just like some painters, if the Great Hall of the People wants to collect their paintings, then they will definitely donate a fine painting without making a penny, because it represents their social recognition.

And it seems that Fang Yi has lost a million, but in fact, with the old stone's previous offer, I believe that Fang Yi's works will be sought after by the market, which is a matter of only making money and not losing money for Fang Yi.

"Cheng, Uncle Shi, you give me a charter when you go back, and I will carve an object for you. ”

Fang Yi nodded and agreed, others carved out a fine work, I am afraid it will take a few weeks or even longer, but in Fang Yi's hands, that is, a matter of ten minutes, he took two days of effort, which was enough to make a work that the fat man sold for a year.

"Fang Yi, you kid has been taken advantage of by him again. Yu Xuanhui also retreated from the crowd and said, "Do you think this old boy is doing a loss-making business by bidding one million to buy your seal?"

"Teacher, it's really not worth that much. Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "And the material of that seal was originally Uncle Shi's, if I really sell it, you still have to trouble me?"

"I'm looking for you to make trouble, if you sell it, the old stone will make a lot of money. Yu Xuan looked at the old stone and said: "Don't blame me for demolishing your platform, this national stone selection is a national act, if the Shoushan national stone falls into your hands, wouldn't the organizing committee be very faceless this time?"

"Whether the organizing committee has face or not, what does it matter to me. Old Shi rolled his eyes at Yu Xuan, he shouted the price of one million before, and he did have his own considerations.

Lao Shi is doing Shoushan Stone business, and the business is very big, but this does not mean that Lao Shi can monopolize this industry, and there are still two or three people who are about the same size as him, and these people are also business opponents of Lao Shi who have been competing for many years.

Fang Yi carved out the Shoushan national stone seal, caused a great sensation, the reason why the old stone shouted a price of one million, is to cause an advertising effect, if he really won the seal, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the old stone is the first person to operate Shoushan stone.

"Okay, although you didn't buy that stamp, but if you shout out a million, it can be regarded as advertising for yourself, it's good for Fang Yi to confiscate your advertising money, don't get cheap here and sell it well." ”

Yu Xuan pointed out the thoughts of the old stone and said, "What about the Shoushan stone you took, hurry up and take a look." ”

The reason why Yu Xuan squeezed out of the crowd was to see what Lao Shi took out, he knew very well that his old friend was a person, and when he was doing business, he was definitely honest and cunning in his heart, and he didn't know how many people had been deceived by Lao Shi's appearance in the business field.

"I brought a total of six pieces of material this time, two pieces in the booth, and four pieces here, you can take a look. The old stone didn't talk nonsense, beckoned someone to bring a bag, the bag was not big, it was made of cotton, and it was bulging from the outside.

"Hey, you're here with something good. ”

Yu Xuan opened the bag and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, handed it to Fang Yi casually and said: "These pieces of material are good, they can be regarded as the best products in Shoushan Stone, you can take them to celebrate the old man's birthday." ”

Fang Yi also looked at it after taking it, and he found that the cotton bag of the old stone containing the Shoushan stone was very particular, and it was divided into several independent pockets, and each pocket contained a piece of Shoushan stone, two of which were slightly larger and could be divided into three or four smaller seals, and two of which could only be used as one seal.

Fang Yi took the slightly larger Shoushan stone in his hand, this is a piece of Tianhuang stone, it can be said that it is the most representative stone species of Shoushan stone, this piece of material is a faint golden yellow, the texture is exquisite, look carefully, there are fine and clear radish lines on it, giving people a feeling of meat jelly under the light.

"This is the material I have put for more than ten years, and I have never been reluctant to do it. ”

Seeing Fang Yi pick up the Shoushan stone, the old stone opened his mouth and said: "This is the top-notch Tianhuang frozen stone, if it was placed in ancient times, it would be a tribute from the royal family, and the people would not allow it to exist at all." ”

"The stone is nice. ”

Fang Yi looked at the stone in his hand and nodded slightly, this piece of material looked like a broken egg yolk, it looked very transparent but it was actually not transparent, and more importantly, Fang Yi actually felt a trace of extremely faint aura in this piece of psychic and clear Tianhuang stone.

"The ancients said that jade can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, but it seems that it is not a lie. Fang Yi's heart suddenly moved, he took out a spirit stone from his pocket, and said, "Old Uncle Shi, you often deal with stones, I don't know if you have ever seen this kind of jade?"

"You're jade?"

Taking the spirit stone handed over by Fang Yi, the old stone looked at it carefully, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, how can this thing give me a very spiritual feeling?

Having dealt with stones all his life, the old stone's nickname is really not called in vain, although he couldn't identify the origin of Fang Yi's spirit stone, but he still felt extraordinary from it, the old stone found that holding this piece of jade in the palm of his hand can actually give people a sense of peace of mind.

"I picked it up when I was in the North Pole, Uncle Shi, you haven't seen it, forget it. ”

Fang Yi was a little disappointed in his heart, people like Lao Shi who had dealt with stones all his life had never seen spirit stones, it seemed that he really had a lot of luck last time, and he only got these spirit stones at one time.

"This jade is very good, Xiao Fang, do you want to sell it?"

Holding the spirit stone in his hand and playing with it for a while, the old stone actually had a feeling of not being able to put it down, "Xiao Fang, although I can't tell what kind of jade this object is, but it should be very precious, I will exchange the four pieces of material here for your piece of jade, will you change it?"

"Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, I like this thing too, gentlemen don't like people's favor, don't fight this idea. ”

Fang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, comparing the spirit stone with this Shoushan stone, it was purely an international joke, even if the old stone put a Shoushan stone the size of a mountain in front of Fang Yi, he would not exchange it.

"Hey, there are two things that I like today, both of which are your kid's, and I haven't gotten my hands on them yet. The old stone returned the spirit stone to Fang Yi with a sad face.

"Fang Yi, show me. ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Yu Xuan was also a little curious, he had a lot of dealings with jade, and compared with the old stones that only mined Shoushan stone, Yu Xuan dabbled in a wider range of gemstones, from domestic to foreign He has studied all kinds of gemstones.

"This is jade!"

As soon as Yu Xuan got started, he opened his mouth to set the tone, but after observing for a while, Yu Xuan's face slowly became solemn, "Fang Yi, did you really get this jade from the North Pole?"

"Yes, teacher, I got a lot of dollars, and I divided it with my eldest brother and the one from Thailand. Fang Yi nodded, he didn't deceive the teacher by saying this, but he didn't say it in such detail.

"I've seen this kind of jade once. ”

Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment and said: "But the piece of jade I saw is much smaller than yours, only the size of the nail cover of the little finger, it is a ring face, although I haven't figured out what kind of jade this is until now, but the material of your piece is definitely the same as the ring face I have seen before." ”

"Old Yutou, someone uses white jade to make a ring face?"

The old stone next to him raised an objection, because the jade that Fang Yi took out was only the size of his thumb, the whole body was milky white, and a layer of treasure light faintly appeared on it, although it looked extremely extraordinary, but this color was not very suitable for making a ring face.

The gemstones used to make rings are usually brightly colored, such as sapphire rubies and emerald corals, the world's most expensive rings, which are made of a ruby, and sold for 40 million pounds at an auction in the United Kingdom in the 80s.

"I don't know if it's a ring noodle, but it was auctioned off as a ring at the time. Yu Xuan looked at the jade in his hand, and his tone became more and more firm, "That's right, I won't admit it, the material of this jade and that ring face must be the same." ”

"Teacher, what's going on? ”

Hearing that the teacher had actually seen the spirit stone, Fang Yi's heart was suddenly a little excited, although according to Yu Xuan, that spirit stone was only the size of a fingernail, but as long as it contained spiritual energy, it was precious to Fang Yi.

"Let's go, let's go to the office and say, it's been a few years since this happened, if I hadn't seen your piece of jade, I would have forgotten about it." Glancing at the noisy environment around him, Yu Xuan said to Fang Yi: "Call the girl and the boy of the Wei family in early summer, and go back to the teacher to take you to eat sheep and scorpions, it tastes very good." ”

When Fang Yi withdrew from the crowd, Bai Chuxia and Wei Mingcheng also withdrew, but when they saw Fang Yi trading objects with the old stone, they all consciously wandered not far away.

As for Hua Ziyi, he stayed in the circle, because his teacher Qin Haichuan was also the official person in charge of this selection, and after announcing the ownership of the national stone, there were still some procedures to go, since Hua Ziyi came, he naturally couldn't leave the teacher to accompany Fang Yi.

"Lao Yu, what's so delicious about sheep and scorpions? As soon as Yu Xuan's words fell, Qin Haichuan's loud voice rang out, "It's the most comfortable to eat hot pot this winter, I'll go back and let Ziyi go to get the wine, and I'll arrange this meal today." ”

"You are the landlord, are you willing to arrange for me to rob you?" Yu Xuanyan smiled when he heard this: "But you didn't participate in the official activities in the evening? It doesn't matter if I'm an idle cloud and wild crane, you have an identity there." ”

"As soon as I retire, how much better can I be than you?"

Qin Haichuan didn't care with a face, his rank was not low when he was in office back then, and he was about the same as the deputy minister, and now he is a retired old cadre, even if he relies on the old and sells the old, others can't say anything.

"Let's go, go to the office to make a pot of tea, and after telling the story and drinking tea, let's go to dinner." Hearing Qin Haichuan's words, Yu Xuan laughed, and the group left the noisy venue and came to the office that the Cultural Palace had temporarily set up for them.

Although he was the worship of the Yin Group, in this room, Fang Yi was the youngest one, and after entering, he was busy serving tea and pouring water, and Qin Haichuan saw the spirit stone in Yu Xuan's hand, and couldn't help asking: "Old Yu, what jade did you seem to be talking about just now, is it the piece in your hand?"

"Old Qin, there are many treasures in the Forbidden City, have you ever seen this kind of jade?" Yu Xuan handed the spirit stone to Qin Haichuan.

Qin Haichuan looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, this thing doesn't look like jade, but a bit like stalactites, and this kind of object has not been included in the Forbidden City." ”

"Teacher, let's talk about that. Hearing Qin Haichuan's words, Fang Yi was not disappointed, if the spirit stones were really all over the street, then the spiritual energy would not disappear from the earth.

"That was five years ago, and I went to the UK for that World Jewellery Fair......"

When Yu Xuan talked about the Jewelry Fair, he told Fang Yi about the origin of the so-called World Jewelry Fair, in fact, the two words "world" here were imposed by the British, and some people in the industry called it the London Jewelry Fair.

Although the United States has been the world's leading power since World War II, in the eyes of the British, the United States is an upstart.

For example, the World Jewelry Fair, which is held every three years, is basically held in the United Kingdom, which is still immersed in the glory of the British Empire, and the British have always been afraid of the three major jewelry exhibitions in Europe, such as the Paris Biennale, Basel and Vicenza.

However, the British do have the courage to create countless artistic jewelry pieces for the triennial jewellery feast, and the designers of various jewellers have gone to great lengths to create countless artistic jewelry.

And in addition to continuous innovation on the basis of heritage, many antique jewelry from the Middle Ages can be seen at the British jewelry show, and almost all the world's leading brands, agents, jewelry designers and senior collectors will gather in London to create a jewelry feast.

With so many collectors gathering, it is only natural that auction houses that rely on big collectors for food will not miss this opportunity, so it is only natural that the fair will be accompanied by auctions organized by world-class auction houses such as Sotheby's Christie's, which are also very lively and almost full.

Yu Xuan was invited by the Zheng family on Hong Kong Island to participate in the jewelry fair, although the Zheng family is the leading jewelry company in Hong Kong and Macau, but it is not very conspicuous in Europe, and the purpose of inviting Yu Xuan is to staggered with the fair.

The Zheng family started out as gold jewelry, and Asians are especially fond of jade, so they pay special attention to the jade lots in the auction, and Yu Xuan saw this ring in the color book given by the auction house.

Yu Xuan had seen the colorless jade ring face, but Yu Xuan had never seen the almost milky white ring face, so he also paid special attention to it, before the auction, Yu Xuan went to see the real thing of this lot, so he dared to say so sure that the ring face and the material of the jade that Fang Yi took out were the same.

"Teacher, what about the ring face?" Fang Yi was not interested in how Yu Xuan saw the ring face, what he wanted to know was whether the ring face was filmed or not, and whose hands it ended up in.

"Someone took it away. ”

Yu Xuan thought for a moment and said: "That ring doesn't look very eye-catching, and the final auction price is not low, a full 1.2 million pounds, which is equivalent to 10 million or 20 million yuan in our yuan." ”

"Who took it?"

Fang Yi asked, as the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat, not to mention that if you miss a piece of the spirit stone, you don't know if you can meet the next one, but whenever there is a chance, Fang Yi wants to get the spirit stone that has been made into a ring face into his hands.

"I don't know!"

Yu Xuan shook his head very dryly, and said: "At that level of auction, there are many people who do not necessarily participate in person, except for real collectors, those predator-level figures are basically looking for a consignor and then using the phone to manipulate the auction." ”

In Yu Xuan's words, there are many super invisible rich people abroad, these people do not want to be famous, but they want to satisfy their collecting habits, so telephone consignment auction has become their favorite method, and most of the treasures are auctioned out in this way every year.
