"Sister Yu, just tell me to go to the store to get it, why bother you to send it to your home in person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although he said this, Qin Fan was not polite at all, and he couldn't wait to take the jade jewelry in Yu Keqing's hand and appreciate it intently at the light.

The piece of green glass jadeite was processed into a Guanyin pendant, a pair of jade earrings, and the rest of the material Master Wu did not waste, and made a jade ring the size of a fingernail. As for the larger piece of "cockscomb red" superlative red material, two pairs of bracelets and more than a dozen pieces of pendants and small jewelry were created.

Qin Fan put the Guanyin pendant carved from green glass in the sun, but saw that the carving of this Guanyin pendant was extremely delicate and the craftsmanship was exquisite. The facial expressions are very vivid and vivid.

Seeing the delicate carving on this Guanyin pendant, Qin Fan knew that the 100,000 pieces were absolutely white flowers, and they were worth the price.

As the saying goes, jade is not cut into a vessel, even if the material of the jadeite rough is good, it is good that the unique charm of jadeite can bloom after the careful carving of the jade carving master.

Looking at it intently, there seemed to be a river of turquoise spring water flowing eastward in the crystal clear Guanyin pendant, glowing with the unique charming brilliance of jade in the sun, which made Qin Fan couldn't help but be fascinated.

In fact, in ancient times, jadeite refers to a bird that lives in the south. The color of this jade bird is very beautiful, the male bird's coat color is red, called "Fei", and the female bird's coat color is emerald green, called "jade".

"Don't be poor, as long as you are satisfied, these things will be done. I've been in the jewelry business for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a superb green glass material, which can be regarded as a wish. Yu Keqing's eyes fell on this brilliant jade pendant, and a look of love appeared in her eyes.

The dancing clothes are stacked with jade, and the sea and moon are hung with coral. I am afraid that there is no woman in the world who can resist the charm of jade, although Yu Keqing is cold like an iceberg, but she is also an out-and-out woman, naturally she will not be an exception.

"Satisfied, so satisfied. Master Wu's craftsmanship is definitely not said. ”

The value of jadeite jade carvings is generally divided into three parts and seven points. The green glass jadeite in Qin Fan's hand, after Master Wu's carving, his net worth can be increased by at least two or three times, and even if he shouts out the price of 10 million, some people will rush to buy it.

It's just that Qin Fan naturally didn't plan to sell such a rare glass jade carving, otherwise he would have agreed to sell it to Yu Keqing at that time.

"If you're satisfied, it's fine. And what you promised me before, don't forget. Yu Keqing reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the jade and reminded Qin Fandao.

"Promise? What promises. ”

Qin Fan looked dazed, just now he patronized and looked at the jade, and he really didn't remember what he had promised Yu Keqing at the beginning.

The next moment, a chill appeared on Yu Keqing's cold and pretty face, which made Qin Fan's heart tremble and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Sister Yu, I'm joking with you, don't worry, next time I find glass seeds, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Seeing that the chill on Yu Keqing's face had subsided, Qin Fan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and finally escaped.

Now Qin Fan finally understands why so many men love and fear Yu Keqing, this woman's aura is too strong, and ordinary men really can't control it.

"There is one more thing, after Master Wu finished your work, he announced his retirement." Yu Keqing sighed and said regretfully.

"What, Master Wu has retired?"

Qin Fan was stunned for a moment, so speaking of which, these jade carvings in his hand were Master Wu's mountain sealing work.

"Master Wu is very old, and he has long had the intention of retiring. In the past two years, he has taken on less and less work, sometimes three or four months to build one. However, for Master Wu, being able to create a jade carving full of green glass before retiring is already a perfect ending. ”

From ancient times to the present, jade carving has been divided into north and south workers. Northern workers are centered on Yanjing, also known as Jingzuo; Nanfang Gong is centered on Su Yang, also known as Su Zuo.

The carving workers in the north and south have their own characteristics, but the southern workers have always been the mainstream of the market, occupying eighty percent of the market share, while the northern workers have less than two percent, and they are getting more and more sluggish.

When he was young, he went to Suyangbai alone to learn the craft of a famous jade carver at that time, and settled down in Luzhou after returning from his studies, and made a living by carving jade and jade, and worked for most of his life.

"Although the good jade is set in Beijing, the craftsmanship is pushed to Su County", Su Pai has always represented the highest level of Chinese jade carving technology from ancient times to the present, characterized by delicate carving techniques, extremely realistic details, and the pursuit of perfection and perfection from an artistic point of view. Unnecessary parts can be sacrificed for the sake of a fine piece.

Up to now, many famous jade carving masters in Nanfang are concentrated in Suyang, Hangzhou and Hushi, and this area has become the center of jade carving in the country.

If Qin Fan finds any high-quality jadeite materials and wants to process them, I'm afraid he will have to go to Suyang and Shanghai in person.

"By the way, there will be a jade bidding conference in Chu City in a few days, are you interested in going and seeing?" Yu Keqing asked casually.

Hearing this, Qin Fan glanced at Yu Keqing in some surprise, and asked curiously, "Sister Yu, are you still gambling on stones?" ”

"I have no interest in gambling stones, I just buy the jadeite rough that has been opened and come back for processing and selling."

For some reason, Yu Keqing is extremely disgusted with gambling, and in her opinion, the probability of opening the best jade in glass or imperial green in the wool is the same as buying a lottery ticket to win a 5 million jackpot.

As for this living example in front of her eyes, she subconsciously ignored it.

Although Qin Fan really wanted to see this jade bidding conference, he would fly to Xiangjiang with Qiao Zhenzhen to participate in the special auction of Hailao porcelain in two days, so he could only miss this bidding conference.

After sending Yu Keqing away, Qin Fan carefully put away the jade carvings and jewelry, ready to surprise Qin's mother. The remaining pieces of jewelry Qin Fan planned to leave for Yaya as a gift, and after living with this little girl for so long, Qin Fan had long regarded her as a relative.

After waiting for the pass to be issued, Qin Fan simply packed his luggage, took two professional books on shipwreck salvage, and stepped on the passenger plane to Xiangjiang.

Qiao Zhenzhen was very attentive and thoughtful, and booked the plane ticket and the hotel he stayed in early in the morning, but he didn't have to worry about Qin Fan, he just had to enjoy this journey.

"Qin Fan, this is the detailed information of this Hailao porcelain auction, which contains the specific auction location and auction method."

This time, Qiao Zhenzhen did not wear a cheongsam again, but wore a casual dress, and her hair was draped casually over her shoulders, revealing the unique lazy and charming style of European girls. Due to the hot weather in Xiangjiang, Qiao Zhenzhen was dressed very coolly, especially the pair of snow-white long legs of one meter two, which made Qin Fan feast his eyes.

Qin Fan flipped through the information in his hand and browsed it carefully.

"Hey, this auction is on a cruise ship?" Qin Fan asked curiously, he had heard of the art auction held on the cruise ship, but he had never participated in it.

The world's cruise tourism industry has formed a very complete industrial chain in Europe and the United States, and has become a common choice for people to travel abroad and take short-term vacations. However, in 2003, outbound tourism in the Republic tourism market was not so popular, and China's cruise tourism industry was far inferior to that of Europe and the United States.

The special auction of Hailao porcelain held on the cruise ship is a gimmick launched by the auction company, the purpose of which is to attract the attention of some customers.

For this auction, the auction company also spent a lot of money, spending millions on publicity fees alone, and also entertaining some customers for ocean travel for free, and bearing all the costs.

"The auction company is taking the high-end route to attract high-end art investors and collectors. I heard that there are a number of international collectors with deep pockets who will be participating in this auction. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Zhenzhen pursed his eyebrows.

With the Qiao family's financial resources, it is not a problem to invest tens of millions, but if you encounter the sniping of those international collectors at the auction, it will be a bit troublesome.

"However, there are also a lot of sea-fished porcelain in this auction, I heard that an ocean-going salvage company salvaged a Ming Dynasty merchant ship in the waters near Sumatra, and salvaged more than 10,000 pieces of exquisite porcelain from it, with an estimated value of about 200 million."

Due to the prosperity of maritime trade in the late Ming Dynasty, the volume of shipping at that time was very large, and there were many shipwrecks. The vast majority of the shipwrecks salvaged in Southeast Asian waters today are merchant ships after the late Ming Dynasty.

At that time, merchant ships sailing on the seas carried a large capacity, and a ship was basically filled with goods such as silk, tea, and porcelain.

The tea and silk from the shipwreck have long since rotted after soaking at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and only the porcelain remains.

Hearing Qiao Zhenzhen say this, Qin Fan also wanted to see this batch of Hailao porcelain salvaged from the bottom of the sea to see if he could find any fine porcelain.

Although the quality of export porcelain is not as good as that of Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, there are also some rare fine products. Most of those fine export porcelain were carefully made for the European court at that time, and the art and collection value will not be inferior to the Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, but the price is much lower than the general official kiln porcelain, which can be said to be of good quality and low price.

Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen were talking about this auction and Hailao porcelain all the way, and the flight time of several hours passed in a flash.

When the passenger plane was about to land at Xiangjiang International Airport, Qin Fan overlooked the entire Xiangjiang River from a high altitude and couldn't help but be deeply impressed by this harbor city with the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient".
