If it was only said that it was one percent of the profit, Sima Yi and the others would only be happy, but they did not have an intuitive concept, how much was this one percent? They did not understand, so they could not really get excited.

But the figure of two million seemed to be direct and impactful, and everyone was stunned after hearing it.

Two million a year, how many times do you have to catch jade to make so much money, I used to watch those rich people drive and eat well, I never dared to think about it, but if I followed Zhang Tianyuan, wouldn't I have everything?

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a fool not to agree, and even a few of them are eager to start mining jade from now on.

One-Eye used to think that Kurban was merciful enough, and gave him a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, which was much more than most jade pickers, but now compared to Zhang Tianyuan, it was simply miserable.

"In addition, each of you will have a fixed salary, which is paid on a monthly basis, tentatively set at five thousand?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"It doesn't matter if you pay your salary or not. One-eyed shook his head and said, you must know that even if it is 5,000 a month, it is only more than 50,000 a year, which is really insignificant compared to the huge profit of 2 million.

"No, the salary is still required, at least the first year must be given to you, this jade mine is going to really form an output value, I'm afraid you have to wait until the second year, so you have to work hard for a year. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"That's okay, just follow what Consultant Zhang said, no, Boss Zhang. One-Eye said excitedly.

"So be it. Rest well today, and we'll be ready to go down early tomorrow morning. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Okay!

After everyone had consulted and agreed. They went to rest and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.

The next day, when I was leaving. Zhang Tianyuan left most of their dry food to the jade pickers in the mountains, and set off with only enough food on the road.

When I went back, because the road was already familiar, so the journey was much faster, and the luck of returning was also better, so I didn't encounter the same disasters as when I came, and finally arrived at the transit station two days later.

At this time, everyone looked a little wolf, and their clothes were worn out in many places. It looked like beggars, but fortunately, at least it was safe and sound, and a few people paid for the parking fee, and then drove the Humvee all the way down the flat avenue to the bottom of the mountain.

Because he was carrying so much jade, everyone was not very relieved, so Zhang Tianyuan did not rush to Kurban's house. Anyway, the jade mine was there, and it was impossible for anyone to find out in the short term, so he wanted to sell the jade first.

In addition to the large and small jade shops in the city, the place to buy and sell jade is the Hetian jade bazaar. Bazaar means "market" in Uyghur. Today's Hetian jade bazaar has long been famous, and its meaning is far beyond the title of 'jade market', where ancient and modern treasures from China and foreign countries, Tiannan and Haibei are gathered here.

In order to catch the bazaar of Hotan. Zhang Tianyuan: When they went down the mountain, they went straight there. Local time is two hours ahead of Imperial Capital time, therefore. Everyone still had the tiredness of coming down the mountain on their faces.

Hotan people like to join in the fun, and they also like to catch the market. When a few of them arrived at the bazaar. It's already crowded and crowded. Fruits, poultry, daily necessities, kebabs, and more are sold for jade. Men and women, young and old, each holding a small pebble in their hands. The sound of crashing stones and shouting one after another, the air is filled with the spicy smell of cumin, and the colorful costumes of Uyghur girls are striking at each other.

Small traders put the jade treasures they had bought on the stalls and shouted for them to sell; the Uighurs held a few broken jade grains in their hands and gathered them in piles of them; some carried strange stones and beautiful jade, and peddled them in the bustling crowd, bargaining with their peers.

With the further recognition of Hetian jade by the outside world, the group of people who love Hetian jade is expanding, and the market prospect of Hetian jade is promising, and there are also a number of second-way dealers who specialize in reselling jade. Jade merchants in the mainland are also optimistic about the market prospects of Hetian jade, and have come to invest and set up points to buy high-quality jade, which is then shipped to the mainland for processing and sales.

The scale of the Hetian jade bazaar is expanding year by year, and another jade bazaar is rising at the Luopu General Water Gate on the Yulong Kashgar River. As the sun sets, people who have returned from digging jade during the day sell their jade at the bazaar; because it is the primary market of Hetian jade, the second-class traders also come to buy the finest jade that has just been dug up; small traders bring barbecued meat, pilaf, steamed buns and various snacks of local ethnic minorities to the bazaar to sell, and the smell of green smoke, barbecued meat and noisy human voices are intertwined......

Speaking of the Hetian Jade Bazaar, there is still a process of formation. According to Sima Yi, before 1985, there was no jade bazaar in Hotan. After the reform, reform and liberalization, with the improvement of people's material living standards, the Hetian jade bazaar was slowly formed. The time is every Friday and Sunday, because every Friday is the day of worship for the local Mu Si Lin people, traditionally every Friday in front of the Great Mosque in Hotan City there is a small bazaar, after the Uyghur people do the prayer, they take out the Hetian jade they bring with them near the Great Mosque to appreciate and buy and sell each other, some jade traders also participate in it, and over time the current jade bazaar has been formed.

After listening to Sima Yi's introduction, Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "Actually, what you said is not completely accurate, because Hotan people have been selling jade since ancient times, according to historians, the 'jade of the Yu family' in the book "Guanzi" is the jade named after the jade selling tribe, and the 'Yu family' is the transliteration of 'Yue'. However, in history, it is rare for people to openly trade Hetian jade, such as the Qing Dynasty, which strictly forbade private transactions, and Hetian jade was officially run. ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Then it can't be called a market, it's like the Hetian jade market is hot now, as long as ordinary people come to Hetian, they can realize their desire to have Hetian jade." ”

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "This is also true, the status of Hetian jade in ancient jade is indeed very high! China is a country with a long history and splendid civilization, and China's jade has a history of 7,000 years. Like China's porcelain and silk, it has become one of the important symbols of China's ancient culture. Known as the 'Oriental Art', it enjoys a high reputation all over the world.

China's development and utilization of Hetian jade. It has a long history and a long history. The jade made of Hetian jade has a strong Chinese spirit and distinctive national characteristics, and is a precious heritage and artistic treasure in the cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation. ”

"Boss Zhang, you know a lot, you wait a while, I'll go find a friend to help us lead the way, he is familiar with the Hotan Bazaar, so he knows where to sell jade with a relatively high price. Sima Yi smiled.

"Okay. Then we'll wait here for now. Zhang Tianyuan saw that since he had arrived at the Hotan Bazaar, he was not in a hurry, and when Sima Yi went to find someone, several people bought a few skewers of mutton skewers and ate them, they hadn't eaten this hot and delicious thing for a long time, and it really tasted very good.

The friend Sima Yi found was the owner of the jade business in Hejiang, named Ke Yan, known as Ke Daxia. This person is not the same as Kurban, who is in the jade mining business. Selling jade directly, while Ke Yan is in the reselling business, there is a factory for making zuò jade.

Call him a hero, not that he looks like the Ke Zhen evil in Jin Yong's pen. Not because he's blind too. But he has been a Kunlun jade miner for more than ten years, endured loneliness, endured tempering, and once fell into a 100-meter abyss. Trapped in the cold and freezing, he had a bad fate and died for a lifetime.

Today's heroes have long been accustomed to drinking in large bowls. The unbridled character of eating meat in large chunks. It is said that it is called a hero. There is another meaning, Lao Ke graduated from geology, and has worked for many years in the ancient jade mine of Alamas in Tian County. I have seen a lot of knowledge and practiced a good eyesight. As long as a piece of jade is placed in his hand, it can immediately report its provenance. Because of God, he is called "Ke Daxia".

Lao Ke looks like an inner yuan, thick and round, dressed in Chinese style, and walks with a sway. There are many greetings everywhere I go, which shows that the hero is already very familiar here.

"Which school did Ke Daxia graduate from?" Zhang Tianyuan quickly became acquainted with this cool man, he was originally a person who was good at making friends, and Ke Daxia was also such a person, so the two of them naturally became acquainted quickly.

"Oh, I graduated from the National University of Geosciences and was admitted to Professor Li Mingguang's graduate school. But it's a shame for his old man, although I am rich now, I am a businessman after all. Ke Yan shrugged his shoulders and said.

In ancient times, there was a saying that the status of merchants was the lowest, although in modern times it is not so strict, but in this country, the status of businessmen is really not very high, at least compared to those who are officials, or engaged in scientific research, you can't buy the status of money.

Ke Yan is obviously a little inferior.

"Ke Daxia, I'm also going to apply for Professor Li Mingguang's graduate school, in the future, we will be a senior brother and a younger brother, you can take care of it a lot." Zhang Tianyuan didn't know how to untie Ke Yan's heart knot, so he simply changed the topic.

"Oh, then you have to study hard, Professor Li is a real master, unlike many mediocre people who wear professor's hats now, brick families, beasts!" Ke Yan looked very excited, it was a kind of fate to meet a future junior here.

"Of course, of course. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

Everyone continued to walk forward, and they could see that some jade merchants did not have a smile on their faces, but still had a sad face, so Zhang Tianyuan asked curiously.

Ke Yan sighed and said: "The business of the bazaar is not easy to do, there are many people who join in the excitement and touch the market, but the real business is very limited. The reason is also very simple, the Hetian jade here is of high quality and high price, and fakes are everywhere. It is said that the people of Hotan have a conventional practice, generally rushing to the market to join in the excitement of most of the big road goods, also known as hot goods, belonging to a change of hands, the real good jade will not be sold on the stalls. In the words of the locals, it is to be covered. ”

"Ahh

"Don't worry, One-eyed, the reason why I invited Ke Daxia is to ask him to help us introduce buyers, we don't have to stare at these stalls, just go directly to the jade shop." Sima Yi patted One-eyed on the shoulder and smiled.

"Ah, I see, then I'm relieved. ”

In fact, although Zhang Tianyuan didn't know about the situation here, he could guess that this was the same as the antique market, and few people would put out the treasures. (To be continued......)
