When the shopkeeper told Zhang Tianyuan about Cao Cao in detail, Zhang Tianyuan learned that this Cao Cao not only controlled the three mines in Yuyan Mountain and had a large amount of bloodstone, but also had a special company for processing bloodstone.

Hearing this, his heart sank, and he sighed a little helplessly: "Old Yu, hearing you say this, I want to buy bloodstone from him, wouldn't it become a fantasy?

"That being said, though, as a shrewd businessman, it still depends on the situation. Although he himself has a bloodstone processing factory, you must know that this kind of thing must be carved by the master to appreciate the potential, if most people go to carve casually, it will not only not increase the value of bloodstone, but will also decrease, it is better to sell the rough stone directly. Cao Cao is a very capable businessman, but he is not an artist, he is not like you, not only does he know how to carve, but also knows so many carving masters, more importantly, you are also the permanent director of the National Jade and Jewelry Association, as long as you speak, there will definitely be masters who are willing to help, and he is different, many masters look down on his kind of businessman who smells of copper. Lao Yu said with a smile.

"What's so good to process that, isn't it just to make a seal, how difficult is this?" Wang Siyuan couldn't help but ask.

"You are wrong, although bloodstone is the three treasures of the seal stone, but this is only limited to the past, although there are people who use seals now, but they will not use such an expensive stone to make zuò, whether it is bloodstone, Tianhuang stone or hibiscus stone. The price of making zuò ornaments is much higher than that of seals. Therefore, the processing of bloodstone is definitely not as simple as making a seal. Instead, it is necessary to make all kinds of beautiful ornaments, which is more difficult. The old shopkeeper shook his head and said.

"How expensive can it be to make zuò into ornaments?" Wang Siyuan still didn't quite understand.

Lao Yu's shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Let's take an analogy, if the bloodstone of the same texture is made into a beautiful ornament by the master's handwriting, assuming that it can be sold for 20 million RMB, if it is said that the bloodstone is made into a seal, it may only be six or seven million, and the value has shrunk too much." So under normal circumstances, as long as it is a bloodstone that can make zuò ornaments, it will be used to make zuò ornaments, and no one will use it to make zuò seals, most of those bloodstone seals have been handed down in history. ”

"Tsk, it's no wonder there's such a big difference. By the way, how powerful is that kid with the same name as Cao Mengde. Is he very powerful in the circle of Bloodstone?" Wang Siyuan usually pays more attention to the entertainment industry than the business circle, so most of his friends are also in the entertainment industry, and he really doesn't know much about people like Cao Cao. This question can only be asked to the shopkeeper of Lao Yu.

"Awesome! Of course it's awesome! In the bloodstone market alone, he accounts for forty percent of the share, which is almost out of a monopoly position. There is no other company that processes bloodstone like him. The old shopkeeper explained: "But to put it mildly, his business is big." There are even more bloodstones wasted, just the carvers in his factory. It's good to have one-third of the provincial experts, and there is no one at the national level, so a lot of bloodstone is wasted, and he himself is still ignorant, after all, he is just a businessman, not an artist, I have to repeat this sentence again, people like him really can't do this business, the benefits brought to him by the processing company should actually be more, but the actual situation is not like that. ”

"Now you understand, Boss Zhang, if you look for him to cooperate, you will talk to him in this direction, you have many experts under your hands, he has materials, in fact, you can cooperate. Lao Yu shopkeeper looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said.

Listening to the shopkeeper Yu say this, Zhang Tianyuan has a number in his heart, no matter what he does, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine, some things, you can't seem to solve them, but if you analyze it carefully, you may find that in fact, the difficult place is the easier place to start.

A few people walked to the foot of the mountain with a smile and found that there were many people running on the road, some of these people were simply from the village under the mountain, and some were travelers from outside.

It is said that the land in this village has basically been sold, and there are very few people working in the fields now, but the workshop that makes phoenix blood wine has always been busy.

I have to say that Lao Mu's popularity in the village is indeed high, and after entering the village, whenever he meets someone, he will call Lao Mu the same "uncle" or "brother" and "brother".

I feel that the people in this whole village are like a family, and the relationship is very close, as for what is usually happening, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't know, he doesn't want to know, anyway, he is not from here, he entered the village this time, just to see the stones collected by these villagers, but not to go to the countryside as officials.

"I heard that there are many people in this village who are multimillionaires, and the cars they buy at home are all in the millions, and the worst ones are hundreds of thousands of joint venture cars, isn't that true?" Wang Siyuan asked in a low voice.

"There's nothing to hide, a jade rock mountain, rich in this village, but there are also a lot of lazy people, now many people have nothing to do all day long, driving out to either play mahjong or go to a bar, few are willing to do things. Speaking of this, Lao Mu sighed helplessly and said: "Where is it like Boss Zhang, they are all so rich, and they are still struggling." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, you must know that he used to have a very strong negative thought, thinking in his heart that he would be so comfortable to live the rest of his life, and he didn't want to struggle anymore, and then it was Liu Mengxun's words that made him regain his spirits.

People, once comfortable, it is easy to lose the enterprising spirit, this is the experience summed up by the ancients.

There are many businessmen in the village who are dressed similarly to Zhang Tianyuan, who look like they are from other places, and they are talking about business with some villagers in non-standard Mandarin.

Mandarin is the best option if you don't have a local to lead the way, otherwise you won't be able to speak the local dialect. No one else understands your native dialect, and it feels like a cow and a donkey have met. I couldn't understand what the other party was trying to say.

"Haisheng, is Haisheng here, there are guests coming......

Lao Mu took Zhang Tianyuan and his party to the head of the village. In the countryside, the door is generally open, unlike in the city, where the door is closed during the day.

He first stood at the door and shouted twice, but he didn't hear the answer, so he raised his feet and walked inside, and at this time, the dog barked, but it was only a bark, but he didn't see a dog running out. When everyone entered the yard, they found that a big black wolf dog was leashed there, yelling at strangers like Zhang Tianyuan.

"Shut up!" Lao Mu obviously came to this house often, so he just said a word to the dog, and the dog squatted there with his tail wagging and didn't bark, just looked at everyone with vigilant eyes.

Generally speaking, the dogs in this village are kept on a leash, because there are often living people, if they are released. If you bite someone, it's a bit of a problem, knowing that these dogs are large dogs, not pet dogs. It's for the gatekeeper, not for the pet.

"Hehe, it's Uncle Mu. What kind of wind is blowing you today?"

"I brought you a few God of Wealth, but your family is not there?"

"My son and daughter went to school. The daughter-in-law went out to visit the house, and I don't know which one to visit. You want to see the stone, that's the right place, don't hide it from you, I don't have any ability, but I still have a set of stones, these bloodstones, there will definitely be good materials in them, I was going to wait for the big trade fair to start and sell there, and now that you are here, it's a good time to catch up, and you can definitely pick the previous goods. ”

While talking, Haisheng led Lao Mu and the others straight to a large warehouse specially used to put stones, this warehouse is in the courtyard, and there is a thin iron plate on it, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and it feels a little similar to a container, but it is just an open window, and it is not very dark inside.

"Uncle Mu, bosses, the stones are all placed here, and the bloodstone and Tian Huangshi are separated, so it is easy to identify them. ”

"Look at you like this, are you going to pull the stones to the trade fair to sell?"

"Yes, Uncle Mu, I started the car, so I didn't hear you shout, today is a large-scale trade fair of Changhua bloodstone, different from the usual small transactions, not only our village, the rest of the villages will also transport the stone over, when the scene comes, it is definitely a hot ah, now the bloodstone is so valuable, it is estimated that it will make a good harvest, the only pity is that the output of the stone is not as good as a year, alas, otherwise you can make a few more years of money. ”

"If you're going to sell it, then it's okay for us to pick it here, right?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, the guests brought by Uncle Mu, I absolutely believe it, you pick, let's bargain on the spot, how much should it be, how much should it be, I will definitely not bully you outsiders, and I don't dare, otherwise Uncle Mu will have to break my legs." "Haisheng is a very lively person, in fact, in terms of age, he is more than ten years older than Zhang Tianyuan, and it is estimated that he is thirty-six or seventy-seven this year, but this person is lively, but he feels more like a child than Zhang Tianyuan.

Zhang Tianyuan now has more contact with antiques and antiques, and has more contact with the older generation of cultural people, so he feels a little old-fashioned, which is not very good, and he has to change it slowly.

"In that case, then we should be respectful rather than obey. ”

"What else is respectful, I'm just a farmer, spread this Yuyan Mountain, just made a little money, unlike you big businessmen, I have a lot of stones here, you pick slowly, I'll make you some tea, and look at the stones while drinking water later, anyway, there is still a long time before the trade fair starts, don't worry."

As Haisheng said, there are a lot more stones in his warehouse than in Lao Mu's warehouse, which is probably related to people's hearts, Lao Mu is picking up stones now, purely for fun, in order to cultivate sentiment, and this Haisheng is taking this job as a livelihood, if he doesn't work hard, it will definitely not work, he doesn't have Four Seasons Villa.

After Haisheng went out, Zhang Tianyuan didn't bother to look at it, he had already verified his ability, even if he didn't rely on the six-character true formula, he could judge the quality of the bloodstone, so at this time, he simply opened the word recognition trick directly, looking at the stone in this warehouse, he couldn't help but show a smile.

I have to praise it, this is still a young man, and he also does it as a job, so there are a lot of better bloodstones in it than in Lao Mu's warehouse. (To be continued......)
