"No, Boss Zhang, you don't know Yang Yaoshan? Hey, this is not good, that Mr. Yang is in our Myanmar, that is definitely one of the top celebrities, no, not in our Myanmar, even in your country, it is the same famous, you are afraid you don't know, he is a Chinese, he played jade in Myanmar in the early years, speaks fluent Burmese and English, Mandarin is also very good, in our circle, Yang Yaoshan's name is famous, absolute master! I'm comparing myself to him, it's really far behind, it's not on the first grade at all. ”

Wu Gang thinks very highly of himself, when he spoke to Zhang Tianyuan before, he always raised his chest and raised his head, and he felt a little condescending, but when it came to Yang Yaoshan, it was completely different, and his eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianyuan was even more interested in that Yang Yaoshan, what kind of person can make a big boss in Myanmar so admired? Money is definitely not enough, just having money, others will only slap you when they ask you, and I don't know how jealous I am of you on weekdays, so this person may not only have money, but also have a lot of ability, and he is the kind of person who can really be admired.

"I really don't know, I've heard of Yang Shuming!" Zhang Tianyuan said with a wry smile.

Yang Shuming still went to Yancheng when Zhang Tianyuan heard from others, saying that he was the chairman of Tengchong County Shuming Jade Carving Co., Ltd., and a member of the National Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association. But this Yang Yaoshan, Zhang Tianyuan just doesn't know him at all.

"Hi. Yang Yaoshan is a distant relative of Yang Shuming, and his fame in the jade circle. No worse than poplar at all. ”

Immediately afterwards, Wu Gang talked about some of Yang Yaoshan's experiences, and Zhang Tianyuan also listened very carefully, after all, he still has to know a few more people like this, and he will be easier to do anything in the future.

Listening to what Wu Gang said, this Yang Yaoshan really has a legendary experience that Zhang Tianyuan sighed again, and maybe some of it was fabricated. But celebrity anecdotes don't all come from this way, just listen to them, most of them are facts and can't be fabricated.

And after Wu Gang said, Zhang Tianyuan understood that the focus of Yang Yaoshan's work is in Myanmar, so he is not as famous as Yang Shuming in China, this person is actually not only a billionaire with a fortune, but also a well-known jade carving master at home and abroad. His sculptures are particularly well-known in circles.

In fact, on the evening of Christmas, at the special auction of jade carving master works of the first Myanmar Cultural Fair held in Yangon, Myanmar, a natural jade 42 thousand hands and thousand eyes Guanyin that was still in creation was auctioned off at a price of more than 500 million RMB. This is a carving by a modern master, not an antique in an ancient tomb, at such a price. It's pretty amazing.

At the auction on the same day, a total of more than 60 jade carving works participated in the auction. Thereinto. The famous Chinese carving master, that is, the master Yang Yaoshan sitting on the stage. The 42-armed, thousand-armed thousand-eyed Guanyin, a natural jadeite that took five years to complete, was sold by Mr. Li from Hong Kong for 540 million yuan, making it the most expensive lot at auction.

According to the information provided by the organizers, this statue of Guanyin is carved from jadeite, with a green color and a delicate texture, and has basically taken shape. Yang Yaoshan said at the time that this piece of jade is rare to see for thousands of years, and it must be made to be unveiled with the most perfect design, so there is the idea of 42 arms, thousands of hands and thousands of eyes Guanyin.

Yang Yaoshan has been engaged in crystal and jade carving for more than 40 years, and he has created a precedent for Buddhist themes to be finely made of natural crystal, and is known as the first person to carve Tibetan Buddhist themes, and his works have won gold and silver medals in the Hundred Flowers Award and Tiangong Award for many times.

In addition, Yang Yaoshan is not only an artist, but also has an identity that makes Zhang Tianyuan dumbfounded, because Yang Yaoshan actually has the ownership of twenty-two jade mines in the face, this matter is even more shocking to Zhang Tianyuan than the speed of carving, because of the carving technology, Zhang Tianyuan himself also has it, so he doesn't particularly care, but this pit is what Zhang Tianyuan dreams of now, if he can get a few mines, then the raw materials of his jewelry store don't have to worry at all.

In China, jadeite is known as jadeite, while jade in general is called nephrite.

In all dynasties, nephrite jade is a very popular thing for the court nobles, and there are even historical stories like He's Bi to highlight the preciousness of this jade, which is truly valuable, otherwise, there will be no emperors in all dynasties who have used nephrite to make jade seals.

However, because there are very few origins of jadeite, only a few countries such as the United States, Japan, Russia, Guatemala, and Myanmar, and Myanmar is the country with the highest production and highest quality, so jadeite is also called "Burmese jade".

After the Qing Dynasty, a large amount of Burmese jade from Burma began to sweep the imperial palace. Most of the daily necessities such as chopsticks, pots, and boxes used by emperors, empresses, and concubines in the harem are jadeite products, and the most famous person who loves jadeite is the Empress Dowager Cixi, who can be said to be obsessed with jadeite. There are many jadeite collections in the Forbidden City, the most famous of which are the following ten jadeite handicrafts.

"Qianlong Year" jade dragon pattern cup plate: This kind of cup drag, in the pre-Qing dynasty was already very popular, but the exquisite Cheng dù of the finished product is the best in the Qing Dynasty, this dragon pattern cup and plate has a height of 5cm, a diameter of 7cm, and a plate diameter of 18.5cm.

Especially in modern times, especially in the years of rapid economic development, the price of jadeite jadeite has far exceeded that of nephrite, of course, this has something to do with speculation, but more because of the single origin of jadeite, and more and more people see its benefits, which is also to raise its price.

There are many reasons for this, as I have said before, various factors combine to make the price of jadeite very outrageous, but this also reflects the awesomeness of the jadeite king.

What kind of concept is this, Zhang Tianyuan just bet on a stone king at the Yancheng Gambling Stone Conference, and he made his company bigger and stronger. Then Yang Yaoshan has twenty-two jade mines under his hands, which is not much. It's estimated that billions of dollars will come into the account every year, no. This Yang Yaoshan is still a master carver, and it is estimated that he also has his own jewelry store and jade shop, which is converted into a finished product, it is an incalculable amount of terrifying income, what is the richest man in the world, it is estimated that this Mr. Yang does not pay attention to it at all.

In fact, the so-called assets of the richest people on the Forbes list are nothing more than stocks converted into money, and those money may shrink at any time. Compared to the real big bosses who have oil, who own emeralds, who own all kinds of resources, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Those local tyrants in the Middle East are really rich, sitting on oil fields, they are all real money, not illusory stocks, their heat, just pull out one. It is estimated that they are all richer than the so-called world's richest man Bill Gates, but unfortunately there are no such people on the Forbes list, because their wealth is secret and difficult to investigate.

Some have compared oil to black gold. In fact, it also makes sense, as far as the current situation is concerned, oil is a high-priced "collectible" in the true sense of the word. Because these things don't shrink as hard as stocks, sometimes stocks can evaporate in market value overnight. But oil won't, as long as there is no new energy to replace it. Oil is here to stay.

Jadeite is the same, as far as the current situation is concerned, although many people are trying to find a substitute for jadeite, but if they don't find it for a day, jadeite will always stand at the top of the jadeite world, and even if it is really found, jadeite will still be valuable because of its scarcity.

Yang Yaoshan owns twenty-two jade mines of his own, how much is this, Zhang Tianyuan can't calculate it anyway, it is estimated that he must be richer than Bill Gates, the richest man in the world.

Of course, anyone's development, especially to achieve Yang Yaoshan's Cheng dù, without the efforts of several generations, it is impossible, so many jade pits, of course, after the efforts of several generations.

Yang Yaoshan's great-grandfather was called Yang Zunfu, who went to Myanmar to study business when he was a teenager, and later specialized in jadeite in Myanmar. The Republic of China's "Tengchong County Chronicles, Miners' Biography" contains him: "In the early years of business in Myanmar, he lived in Menggong for a long time, specializing in jade, good and jade, beautiful and evil, not bad and tired. Bearing a grand outline, over the constant flow, knowing people well, not to slander their reputation, not to win the small easy to use, so people are happy to drive, so to get rich. ”

Yang Zunfu joined the League in Burma, and he donated huge sums of money to the uprisings in Yongchang, Hekou, and Guangzhou. In the battle of Hekou, Huang Keqiang and the party retreated to Burma, thanks to the help, and lost tens of thousands of gold.

Later, Yang Yaoshan's grandfather inherited the family business and developed in Myanmar, they are actually authentic Chinese-Burmese, but Yang Yaoshan always thinks that he is Chinese, and even returned to China more than ten years ago to recognize his ancestors.

In fact, when Yang Yaoshan's great-grandfather was in the line, there were already three mines in Myanmar, and later in the hands of his grandfather, it increased to ten, and in the hands of his father, it became fifteen.

When Yang Yaoshan was born, he did not stay in Myanmar, but went to China to study, because although Myanmar is rich in jadeite, but in fact, whether it is carving or management, it is not as good as Huaxia, so when he was young, he did not live in Myanmar for a long time, nor did he experience the kind of things that Myanmar children have to experience, his thinking is more open, more knowledgeable, so when he goes back to do business, his brain is more flexible.

His college career was spent in the National University of Geosciences, the National University of Geosciences is ranked in the top 20 in the world, and the top two universities in the country, Yang Yaoshan can be admitted to this university, it is really not easy, here, he learned all kinds of mineralogy knowledge, as well as business science, and at the same time also studied jadeite carving, one of his teachers, is precisely Li Mingguang, speaking of which, it is also Zhang Tianyuan's senior brother.

Later, Yang Yaoshan returned to China after completing his studies and inherited the family business, mainly engaged in the trading of jadeite rough and finished products between Myanmar and China, which has been done for decades.

During this period, Yang Yaoshan did not forget his favorite jade carving, he did business, while also stepping up the practice of his carving skills, the best is Zang Buddhism jade carving, the skill is also deeper day by day, and finally when he was thirty years old, he became a blockbuster.
