Hearing Nie Zhen's example, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but laugh, this guy really can't be a womanizer, he can think of a woman in everything, it's really amazing.

"Master Kurban, I know this material, so what is the material? After all, it is not common to make materials, and for those of us who are in the jade business, making materials is the best choice. Zhang Tianyuan glanced at Kurban and asked.

"The material is slurry, cracked and other strict problems, and needs to be carved to remove the flawed material, the so-called 'jade does not become a vessel', only after the instrument can reflect its true value, that is, the original value of jade has increased the added value of art. As a collectible, it must have a certain collection value, profound cultural connotation, exquisite artistic expression, and exquisite carving skills, which is an indispensable part of the collection. After the stock market fluctuates, the housing market is regulated, and the investment and financial channels of the people are narrowed, the collection of investment artworks has become a new trend, among which there are many people who pay attention to jade. Collecting and investing in jade can maintain and increase its value, but there is a lot of knowledge in jade collection investment, and if you don't master it, the risk is not small. Kurban replied.

"Ordinary people are afraid of risks, but those of us who are in the jade business should let them buy jade with peace of mind!" Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Well, some businessmen think that the common people don't understand jade, so they can deceive them and fool them, but in fact this is short-sighted! And people who don't understand jade are not willing to take it lightly, but those who don't know anything about it prefer to slap their swollen faces and become fat. Kurban nodded and said, "You can let these people understand this kind of thing first, they know that jade is good and jade is wonderful." Naturally, I will buy it, which is actually not difficult. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. You're like me, what jadeite, nephrite. I only figured it out after I met Master Kurban. Nie Zhen said very agreeably.

"That's right, when you buy jade, you must first know jade. Jade is divided into jadeite and nephrite, and nephrite jade is divided into origins, and its value and price vary greatly depending on the origin. The phrase "gold is valuable and jade is priceless" is always on our lips, but many people do not understand its true meaning, in fact, this means that it is difficult to have a unified standard for jade prices because of the origin and process. Therefore, if you want to collect and invest in jade, you must first do your homework to identify different jade species, and the current Hetian jade on the market is a general term that includes Hejiang Hetian jade, Haiqing jade, and Russian jade, while the previous concept of Hetian jade was limited to Hejiang Hetian jade. Kurban nodded.

"What? Hetian Yu didn't just refer to Hejiang and Tian Yu!" Nie Zhen asked in surprise.

"There used to be such a concept. However, in recent years, the concept of Hetian jade has become broader. Kurban.

"In terms of jade, how will ordinary guests choose?" Although Zhang Tianyuan is now in the jade business, after all, he hasn't been doing it for long, and his brother Xu Gang actually doesn't know much about it, and now that he has met Kurban, he naturally wants to ask clearly.

"This is mainly divided into two points, one is the choice of varieties. In general, jade is divided into two categories: ornaments and furnishings, among which ornaments are classified as jewelry, which has the advantage of taking the essence of jade in the later production process. Therefore, there are many people who like it, and the furnishings are carved based on the original appearance of jade, which is relatively less consumables, and there is a tradition of making flaws and not hiding jade.

The other is to identify materials and workers. "Jade is not cut into a tool", the collection and investment of jade must choose a good work. In the past, people used to say that good work must be good material, but now it has become a misunderstanding. With the reduction of jade resources, the materials of many jade carving masters have not only been limited to Hejiang and Tianzi materials. As long as it is a good work with sufficient artistry, the artistic value of carving is eternal. Contrarily. No matter how good the jade is, if the carving is clumsy. It's not as valuable as a rough stone. Kurban explained this issue in great detail, which also made Zhang Tianyuan's heart suddenly brighten.

"That is to say, if I do jade business in the future, I don't have to be too particular about the quality of materials, after all, there are fewer and fewer good materials, but the carvers can be improved, and if the carvers are good, even if they are ordinary materials, they can be sold at a good price?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"That's right, that's the truth, excellent carving is an art in itself, and it is collectible, otherwise there would be no such collectibles as bamboo, wood, and stone carvings, understand?" Kurban nodded.

"Master Kurban, what era and style of jade are selling better now?" Zhang Tianyuan seemed to want to dig out all the goods in Kurban's stomach at once.

Kurban laughed and said: "You kid is interesting, if someone else has the certificate of that senior consultant, I'm afraid they will be absolutely embarrassed to ask me so many things, you are good, you are really not ashamed to ask." ”

"If you don't know, you have to ask, if you don't mind, can you sue me?"

"Of course. Ming and Qing jade has always been sought after by the market, mainly most of the best objects belong to the heirloom, with a specific artistic beauty and cultural and historical value, this kind of jade has a little play with the dynamic of jade liquid flowing, belongs to the jade collection investment in the 'hard currency', easy to circulate and realize. In addition, if you are in the jade business, you should also pay attention to one point, there is still about 30% of the regional price difference in jade collection investment, the same type of jade is the cheapest in the south, Shangpu is in the middle, and the north is more expensive; as far as the contemporary jade carving technology is concerned, Shangpu Gong is the best, which has overshadowed the previous Su Yanggong and Zhou Yanggong; the same jade color, structural tightness, and softness are also one of the links to control the price and the upside. China's jade culture has a history of 8,000 years, and it is also said that it is more than 7,000 years, and today's jade collection is only a jade cultural inheritance, and investment is only an unexpected gain in the collection. You business people are king!" said Kurban with a thumbs up at Zhang Tianyuan.

"Master Kurban is really overrated, listening to your words today, I suddenly feel my own insignificance and ignorance, it seems that it is really the right choice to go to Professor Li Mingguang and take his graduate examination. Zhang Tianyuan's words are true, although he can judge the quality of jade through the six characters of guò, but if the knowledge is not enough, it will be a joke.

"Oh, the graduate student who relied on President Lee, yes, very good. Chairman Lee is not only a geologist and archaeologist, but also a well-known jade master. His jade carving technique is unique, and he belongs to the four demons and one monster of the Northern School. That's why there's also such a slip of the tongue, 'You have to ask the Northern Sect carver, the four demons and one strange number of romances, and the two gods are above it!'" Kurban laughed.

"One of these two gods is Professor Li, but what about the other one?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"Guan Ying! is the head of Guan's jewelry!" replied Kurban.

"Guan Ying!" Zhang Tianyuan frowned, it seems that it is not easy to bring down this Guan Jewel, this Guan Ying is really not a simple person.

"You seem to have a bit of a holiday with Guan Ying, this Guan Ying and Li Mingguang have been fighting for many years, Li Mingguang specializes in academic research, and Guan Ying is more like a businessman. The two of them are now the vice president of the National Jade and Jewelry Association, and the other is the president, you can become a senior consultant, it is estimated that you have bypassed Guan Ying, otherwise, I will see it difficult, that person's heart is very small. Kurban looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said: "You still have to be careful in the future, don't make a feud with such a person too deeply, and if you have a feud once." Then you have to defeat it cleanly, and don't have the slightest mercy, otherwise you will be the unlucky one in the end. There are examples of bad guys talking a lot of in the movie, and they were killed as a result. In fact, it is not only the bad people who are killed by the counter-killing? But anyone who talks too much will not end well. ”

"Thank you, Master Kurban, for reminding me, I understand. Zhang Tianyuan nodded. I already have a plan in my mind.

"Well, we talked a lot today. Look at the time is almost up, Xiao Zhang, you are ready to prepare. Let's go into the mountains with the prospecting team. Kurban walked to the door of the warehouse, looked at the sky outside and said: "The weather is good today, cloudy, windy, and relatively cool, it is a good weather for entering the mountains." ”

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"It's best to bring a bamboo basket or bag that is convenient for holding jade, because the jade you pick up on the mountain is your own, and the mountain we are going to has not yet been contracted by anyone, and it is considered a state, but the country cannot manage every stone. Kurban smiled and said, "Besides, your eagle should simply stay here, lest you go into the mountains and have nothing to feed." ”

"I'm afraid that it won't work, Master Kurban, this guy is not close to anyone except me, but he doesn't have to worry about eating, there are always wild things on the mountain, right?"

"Yes, yes, but your eagle is so small, can it catch it on its own?" Kurban asked, looking at the little Shenluo's exposed little head suspiciously.

Shinra yelled at him, then tilted his head away with an unconvinced expression.

"Oh, this little guy is interesting, Brother Zhang, you are a precious pet. Nie Zhen looked at Shenluo with a smile and said.

"Don't look at this guy's small, it's a Tibetan mastiff the size of a lion, you have to admit it when you see it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Well, that's fine. In addition, you can also prepare some dry food, just cut the cake, it is high in calories, easy to store, and it tastes good. Kurban said again.

"Oh, I see, is there anything else to prepare?"

"You also have to bring a few clothes, it's cold in the mountains, and this time you go in it may be ten days and half a month, and you also need to change your clothes. Kurban said again.

"I didn't expect this to be really troublesome. ”

"If you feel miserable, don't go. Nie Zhen smiled.

"No, I still want to go and see what the veins look like, and see what the so-called mountain material, mountain water, and seed material look like. Zhang Tianyuan gritted his teeth and said.

As the saying goes, he doesn't practice fake tricks, not to mention that he is looking for mines for himself, so he must find good mines, and others find them, and he is not at ease.

"Ambitious, in fact, I have prepared everything you need to go up the mountain, but I'm afraid that you won't want to go halfway. Kurban laughed.

"Yes, thank you so much Lord Kurban, I'm not a half-person. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go out first, and I'll let One-Eye accompany you, he's been out with the mining team many times, and he's familiar with the situation on the mountain, so he can help take care of you. Kurban walked to the door of the warehouse and turned back to speak.

"Brother Zhang, Master Kurban is really good to you, I used to ask him for a one-eye, saying that he was taking the imperial capital to the dream capital to be the head of the security guard, but he refused, but I didn't expect that this time I was willing to give it to you. Nie Zhen looked at Zhang Tianyuan with some envy and said.

"Is this one-eyed powerful?"

"Amazing, of course it's amazing, One-Eyed has been with Master Kurban for many years, not only learned the skills of Lord Kurban, but also very good at fighting, and is good at surviving in the wild, but he is blind in one eye, it's just not good-looking. (To be continued......)
