Chapter 311: Game of Thrones
With the help of other people's power, after all, it is better to be in power yourself, and the person who makes the rules can even do nothing and control a certain industry in his own hands.
In fact, as the president of the National Jade and Jewelry Association, Li Mingguang really doesn't have much to do, this association has special management talents, just manage it in accordance with the rules formulated by the association's directors, and you don't need to ask the president to do it well.
But when it comes to big things, the president can say the same, and that's the terrible thing about the people who make the rules.
Zhang Tianyuan is still just a senior consultant, and he has not even entered the board of directors of the association, and he has no power at all.
Li Mingguang wants Zhang Tianyuan to enter the board of directors and become one of the management of the association, so he must first bring Zhang Tianyuan out and let Zhang Tianyuan show his ability, and this TV program is the best opportunity.
"Tian Yuan, now there are a total of twelve directors of the association, plus the vice president and the president, a total of fourteen people are in charge of almost the country's jade jewelry appraisal rules! Do you understand how big the oil and water is here? This is not just a matter of money, in the final analysis, a responsible person becoming the president can make the industry become regular, less cheating, less chaos, but if you let people with evil intentions take power, it will be troublesome. Li Mingguang sighed and said: "The director of the association stipulates that there are only twelve people, and one more is not good, and one less is not good. Recently, an old gentleman was seriously ill and was on the verge of dying. Somebody needs to take the place, and I mean let you take over. Even if you don't want to be in this position, when you have the power and the right to speak, you can let someone you trust to take over, understand? This position must not be occupied by Guan Ying's people, otherwise it will be a big trouble. ”
Zhang Tianyuan is not the kind of person who decrepits before aging. If you don't fight while you're young, and then want to fight when you're old, you're afraid you won't have the opportunity and motivation.
He is a person who has died once, so he especially cherishes the opportunity to survive, and he agrees with Li Mingguang's construction of a hundred times.
Although he doesn't think he's a good person. But he is definitely not a bad person, at least in the businessman, he is definitely conscientious, rather than letting Guan Ying sit there. It's better for him to do it, otherwise when Guan Ying occupies the Jade Jewelry Association, his business will be even more difficult to do.
Seeing Zhang Tianyuan bowing his head and pondering. Li Mingguang thought that Zhang Tianyuan was troublesome and didn't want to accept his advice. Yusi smiled and said, "What's wrong Tianyuan, do you think that you are the chairman of the Shenluo Ancient Art Company." Busy enough to want to go through the hassle anymore?"
"I ......" Zhang Tianyuan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Mingguang.
"Child, that's right, you are worth tens of billions now, you can definitely be regarded as a rich man, you still have your own company, you have your own jade mine, even if you don't do anything, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life, even if you eat, drink and have fun all day long, no one will say anything about you, but do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"
"Me!"
Zhang Tianyuan's words were interrupted by Li Mingguang again: "I understand that you young people nowadays want to live a relaxed and unrestrained life, and you can't stand the constraints of society. But you have to understand that if you can't be the one who makes the rules, then you have to live in someone else's rules, whether it's your company or your jade mine, this qiē will be in someone else's hands, even the price, rarity, and even popularity can be changed by making rules. ”
"It can't be. Zhang Tianyuan was a little shocked.
"How is it impossible, don't you know? Nowadays, a lot of jù is mixed with water, which kind of nephrite is the national stone, that is decided by the guò jade association, which kind of jade is scarce, and it can also be used to create rumors in an artificial way. And I think you like to make friends very much, right, making friends also requires capital, if you become the director of the association, or even the president, then there are more people who want to make friends with you, and you can in turn pick and choose what is worth intersecting with. Li Mingguang said.
Zhang Tianyuan took a deep breath, although he thought about the benefits of becoming a director of the Jade Association, but he didn't think far enough, after Li Mingguang reminded him, he understood that people are in society after all, even if you stay at home all day, you can't live alone from this society.
"Actually, Professor Li, you didn't let me finish speaking, I agree with your proposal, this director, I will definitely fight for it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Huh, do you agree? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"You dead old man, you interrupted the child before he finished speaking, what did he say?" Aunt Li pinched Li Mingguang and said.
"Hahaha, it's my old man who is anxious, anxious, since you agree, it's good to agree. Li Mingguang laughed and said: "I remember that you once told me that you want to build your company into a world-famous multinational company, so in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with foreigners, and there are many kinds of foreign gemstones, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, Golden green cat's eye is recognized as the world's five precious gemstones, are with value preservation and collection value, although the rest of the low-end gemstones, but the same beautiful, the same value, if you master the first position of the Jade Jewelry Association, then in the future those foreign jewelry into our country, it depends on your face, you say that the role of this position is not big?
"Well, I know, I don't know what to do with these precious stones, and these gems have their own meanings, for example, rubies, in the Bible, Job says, 'Only wisdom is worth more than rubies', and in some ancient Indian writings, rubies are said to be 'the most precious of the twelve gems that God created when he created all things'. Legend has it that a person who wears a ruby will 'live a long and healthy life, become wealthy, and be happy in love', 'if he wears a ruby ring on his left hand.' Or wear a ruby chest ornament on the left side, and you will have a kind of magic that turns evil into good fortune and enemies into friends'. Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
"That's right. There is also a diamond, a gemstone that has almost been completely deified, and now it is too bad for anyone who does not give a diamond ring when they get married. It was once thought that diamonds came from the water of heaven or the dew of the sky. In Sanskrit, the word diamond means thunder and lightning, which expresses the belief that diamonds are born of lightning. Before the Renaissance, the highest temperature that humans could reach with fire could not harm diamonds. The legend that this diamond diamond is not bad has been passed down until the 16th century when the diamond cutting industry began in Europe. For hundreds of years, people have held the idea that diamonds cannot be destroyed, so the wearer will not destroy them, making them popular in times of rampant disease. The various legends of this period often hint at the benefits of owning diamonds. For example, victory, strength, courage, power, wealth, eternal life, happiness, friendship, avoidance, eternal youth, dreams come true, etc. It is even said that diamonds can make people invisible and bring the dead back to life. Li Mingguang also nodded and said: "You can study these gems well in the future, this time the treasure of Huaxia will not have these gems anyway, they are all jade and antiques, you can make good use of it." ”
"But Professor Li, I'll tell you the truth, although I watch this show every time, what do I need to pay attention to and what I need to do during the specific recording process. I don't even know, you've been there before, can you tell me about it?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
Li Mingguang thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'll sue you, this appraisal." Don't pretend to understand! If you really don't recognize it, you can say something that doesn't make sense, but it sounds very reasonable. Just like those monks, it sounds very profound. Actually, I didn't say anything, so that's fine. ”
"In other words, although it is not clear, it is powerful?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"I just don't understand it. But it seems to be very powerful. Zhang Tianyuan explained.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means, for example, if you don't understand a jade, then the jade culture, anyway, just mess around, just confuse the past, if there is an expert in it, there will be a conversation, if not, you don't have to care about it. ”
"Then what if someone asks me for an estimate?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"This is even simpler, you just say that this thing is not easy to say, and now there is no fixed price in the antique jade market at all, and it is absolutely no problem for you to say so. Li Mingguang said with a smile.
Zhang Tianyuan stuck out his tongue, he finally understood now, when he watched the show before, he heard some experts say that it was a big deal, but he just didn't understand, and then someone asked for an estimate, and the experts said that this thing was not easy to say, or simply said a price with a large span, such as 100,000 to 1 million, which is basically not much worse.
He still felt how awesome he was at that time, but now he understands what Li Mingguang said, it turns out that experts are not omnipotent.
Now he is relieved, with his word appreciation skills, if he wants to be in the limelight in this show, there must be no problem.
"I said Professor Li, Brother Zhang, you patronized and talked, did you forget me?" Tie Ruisheng had been eating with his head bored, and now he was probably full, and he felt that there was no one to chat with him, and he suddenly felt a little lost.
"Hahaha, it's my fault, my fault. That's it, Tian Yuan and I should talk about it, you two continue to talk, I'll go and call the TV station and talk about letting Tian Yuan participate in the Huaxia Treasure program. Li Mingguang laughed twice, got up and went to the study to make a call, it was quieter there, and some things were easy to say.
After Li Mingguang left, Aunt Li also packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Tianyuan and Tie Ruisheng sat on the sofa and chatted while watching TV.
Anyway, he was idle, Zhang Tianyuan put the VCR he recorded to Tie Ruisheng to see, the VCR is the video of the courtyard, from the door to the end, every place has not been let go, and finally even used that kind of unmanned aerial vehicle to shoot a bird's-eye view, which is very complete, as long as Tie Ruisheng takes a look, then the general situation of the courtyard is understood.
"This owner is good, just from the video, their maintenance of this courtyard is very good, although some places are still in disrepair, a little uninhabitable, but most of them are intact, this is very rare, you can rest assured, my work, absolutely satisfy you!" (to be continued......)
