Chapter 709 Inheritors of Intangible Cultural Heritage

After breakfast, I broke up with Commander Yang and Commander Xu, and went to the county town with Boss Qiu and his gang. When I arrived at Emerald Street, the stalls had already been set up, and the stalls were full of people. As soon as the more than 20 of them entered, which stall they arrived at, which booth was crowded.

The stalls are all jadeite objects, glass species, ice species are basically not, the best, is the glutinous species, glutinous seeds and bean seeds are the majority, the color is mainly bean green, there are also emerald green, but it is just a small section of the bracelet. The boss picked up a bracelet and handed it to Wuyang, "Boss Li, is this a cargo?" ”

Wuyang took it and looked at it, and nodded. I saw the price on the small label, which was 8,800 yuan, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

Boss Qiu said, "It's the brothers who want to bring some back and give them to friends and employees." ”

Wuyang said to the stall owner: "Boss, we want a few more, can you give a real price?" ”

"The net price is 5000, and it can't be less." The stall owner said.

Wuyang felt that the price was about the same as that in the mainland, and it was all real jadeite, so he was ready to make a deal, at this time someone pulled Wuyang's arm, and Wuyang looked back and saw that it was Boss Liu, "Do you know the stall owner?" ”

"Of course I know, but I can't tell it in front of so many people, how much your friends want to buy, let's make up the number, I'll negotiate the price."

Wuyang told the boss, and the boss counted it in a while, asking for 65. Boss Liu went to bite the stall owner's ear and came back and said: "1,300 yuan each, if you don't bring enough cash, you can go to the store to swipe the card." ”

The boss nodded in agreement, and the stall owner packed it in a brocade box, who wants a few. Put a few in a plastic bag. Then I went to swipe my card.

Wuyang, Boss Liu, and Boss Qiu continued to walk forward. In front of a stall, there are small wool sellers, and there are 7 or 80 rice bowls of wool on the stall, and there are several woven bags full of them.

The stall owner shouted: "Boss, look at these wool materials, they are all materials from the old pit, and they are very likely to be green and not expensive." 500 yuan a piece, how about trying your luck? ”

A young man who spoke Mandarin next to him said: "I bought 6 pieces yesterday, all of them are stones, and I don't know which river beach I picked up these so-called wool materials." ”

The stall owner said: "The gambling stone is nine out of ten bets, and you only bought 6 of them, so of course there is no possibility of gambling up." You are not Yang Hanmin, every time he buys two from me, he can at least open a piece of emerald. ”

Wuyang asked Boss Liu: "Is it true?" ”

"It may be true, Yang Hanmin likes to buy this kind of small wool. Many of his works are carved from jadeite carved from such stalls. ”

Wuyang said: "Then how many will I pick too?" ”

"You can try it too. See which of you is wiser. ”

"I don't dare compare to him, he's the inheritor."

Boss Liu said: "You are more daring than him, he rarely bets millions of wool." ”

"Then I'll pick a few and take a look." Wuyang said, he didn't bother to pick it, and directly ran the True Qi Scan, there was jade in it, and the texture was more delicate, so he picked it up, and the rougher ones were discarded.

After picking up 8 pieces, he saw that there were still some pieces in the woven bag, and was about to pour them out by the stall owner, when the young man spoke: "Boss, can you also help me pick a few pieces?" ”

Wuyang said: "This is a matter of luck, not necessarily all emeralds, you better rely on your own intuition." ”

The young man said, "Boss, you can help, I don't blame you for not having jade, I thank you for having jade." ”

Wuyang said: "Whether there is jade or not is your own luck, don't blame me, don't thank me, I'll try." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll verbally thank you."

Wuyang helped him choose two pieces of wool that he had just looked at and didn't want, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, can you please pour out the inside of the woven bag and let me pick it?" ”

"Yes. Boss, I have a reluctant request, you are here with Boss Liu, you will definitely choose wool, you have selected the wool, can you cut it out here with me, give me an advertising role. ”

"Okay, let's wait for something, how many people do you have to cut stones?"

"I have three masters here, and I have a few relatives at home, so I just call them to come."

Boss Liu said: "Third child, do you still have any wool at home?" If there is, you let them all bring it, the wool selected by our boss Li will not be worse than the one selected by my brother Yang Hanmin, if the jadeite is cut out, the people who buy the wool will not all rush over, depending on how many you have, they will sell it. ”

The third child poured out the woven bag and said, "That's great, there is still about two tons at home, I'll let them bring it, and I'll buy it again when it's sold out." Boss Li, can you start cutting stones? ”

Wuyang said: "You don't need to cut these pieces, you just let them wipe it." Such a small amount of wool is useless in one qiē. ”

The third child said: "Okay, just wipe it, Boss Li, you pick again." ”

Wuyang said to the young man, "Young man, you should pick first, or you won't be able to pick the good ones after I choose." ”

The young man said, "I'd better ask for your help, and I'm not greedy, so you can pick me two more." ”

Wuyang selected 4 pieces from the middle of the two piles poured out, and selected 2 pieces for the young man, and the stone rubbing had already wiped off the stone skin, and the green jade appeared. After a while, the other two pieces also rubbed out jadeite, one was chanterelle-yellow yellow jadeite, and the other was pigeon-blood-red red jade.

The onlookers were already stunned by this beautiful jadeite, as if the wool did not need money, and the ones on the ground were quickly sold out.

Wuyang knew that there was emerald in the wool he chose, but he didn't expect it to be so good. The green one is the imperial green of the glass species, and the yellow and red jade are also top-notch, and each can carve 3 large bracelets, two small bracelets, pendants and other objects.

After rubbing out 6 pieces of jadeite, the third child's family came with a woven bag. The street is very narrow and there are a lot of people, and vehicles can't get in. Carrying 3 bags and pouring them out, they were immediately picked up by customers into plastic bags, and Wuyang didn't have a chance to pick them.

The third child stared at the person picking up the wool. While shouting: "Don't worry. Don't worry, everyone. We'll ship it right away, and everybody will be able to buy it. ”

The second time I carried 3 bags, not so many people grabbed them, Wuyang picked 6 pieces, the third time 3 bags, there were fewer people who bought them, Wuyang picked 8 pieces for himself, and selected a few pieces for the young people. After paying by credit card. Carrying 9 pieces of jadeite that had been wiped and 17 pieces that had not been rubbed, he left the stall.

Boss Liu said: "Boss Li, you have a lot of hundreds of millions." 1 piece of jadeite can carve 5 bracelets, 26 pieces of jadeite, can carve more than 130, and there are many pendants, rings, necklaces, studs, just these, is a rich man. ”

Wuyang said: "It's not interesting to carve bracelets. If Yang Hanmin can be asked to carve some ornaments, the value will be even greater. ”

"The value of ornaments is actually not as good as bracelets or anything. It's also hard to sell. The price is high, hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, who will buy such an object that cannot be eaten or drunk at home? Yang Hanmin's works are also sold for hundreds of thousands or millions, and these things are also like good cigarettes, buy them without smoking, and don't buy them with smoke. ”

"Then can I exchange jade with Yang Hanmin for some works?"

"I guess not, he doesn't lack jadeite, and he can choose it himself, but it's hard to say if you have such a good eye. If you can't rub out the jadeite, then he is far inferior to you. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "Boss Liu, you still promote him more, I am mixed up in the officialdom, I don't need to be famous in this area, if I am famous, it will harm me." ”

"That's right. Your boss asks you for it, you don't give it, there is no good fruit to eat, give it, in case of the East Window incident, you can't escape a charge of bribery. The problem is that I don't say it, you still have so many friends here today. ”

"They won't say it, if they do, I'm afraid my fame is about the same as Yang Hanmin."

A group of people stopped and walked and came to a stall selling "salted duck eggs", and Boss Qiu said: "Secretary Li, this is also jade wool?" ”

"yes, would you like to buy some cut-outs to play with?"

The shape, color and size of these wool materials are similar to salted duck eggs, like salted duck eggs stained with plant ash.

"Okay, let's cut stones here to play, we won't go to the exhibition hall or meet any inheritors, you can help us choose some." How convenient for you to go, we'll go back later. ”

"Okay, you also give one or two to these non-commissioned officers, cut it and you go back, and I'll take Boss Liu's car to go."

Wuyang is actually very short of time, if it weren't for seeing Yang Hanmin and his works, he would definitely excuse himself. Chose more than a dozen salted duck eggs on the ground, and asked the stall owner to pour out the woven bag, and selected a dozen, it is estimated that each of them can divide two, to pay by card, Boss Qiu said: "You go, we will come to the payment." ”

On the way, An Lan wanted to help Wuyang carry a plastic bag, but Wuyang didn't let him, "It's very heavy, you just follow it." ”

When he arrived at the exhibition hall, Yang Hanmin was already waiting, and when he shook hands, Wuyang found that he was not very fluent in speaking, probably not used to speaking Mandarin, so he also switched to dialects, so that he could speak fluently.

When I came to Yang Hanmin's exhibition hall, there were not many of his works, but Wuyang was immediately shocked by the Guanyin ornament. This is a white glass jadeite, crystal clear, without a little flaw, other aspects are just that, Guanyin's face is particularly perfect, both beautiful and generous, and it looks very kind, so that people can look at it, they feel that they can cleanse the dirt of the soul.

"Boss Yang, you Guanyin, what price can you move?" Out of respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva, Wuyang did not use the word "buy" but "please".

"I'm sorry, Boss Li, I won't give up this Guanyin. You see, I don't have a few things here, I have been carving jadeite for a long time, just Guanyin's face, I have been carving for a month. If I don't leave a few window covers, there is nothing that can represent my artistic achievements. ”

"It's okay, it's right for you to stay. Boss Yang, you have carved relatively few works, so how do you make money? ”

Yang Shuming said: "I brought some apprentices, let them start to learn from carving Huanglongyu, two or three years later, carving jadeite, after leaving the school, if they do not stand on their own, I will hire them." Their works have all been sold, and the price of jadeite has risen all the way over the years, and the profits are still considerable. ”

"How is Huang Longyu's market now?"

"It's okay. I gave my apprentice a piece of Huanglongyu with a purchase price of about 300 yuan, and after about a month of carving. It's the finished product. It can be sold for about 20,000. Some chunks of material. After carving it out, it is hundreds of thousands, millions, and these are my apprentices who have become a master to do it. Last time at the Spring City Jade Expo, there was a group of Huanglongyu seal materials, with a price tag of more than 20 million, you know this, right? ”

"I don't know, I don't usually have time to care about these things."

"That is, managing a city. It's a lot more worrying than us craftsmen. Boss Li, you carried such two big bags of things, is it jade? ”

"There is jadeite, and there is wool, Boss Yang will help me palm my eyes?"

"Don't dare, let's discuss and communicate."

Wuyang took out a few pieces of wool from the plastic bag, "Boss Yang, please take a look." ”

Yang Hanmin picked up a piece and looked at it, "You bought it from the third child, right?" This time, because there are many people during the festival. I didn't go over, it seems that I suffered a loss. Such wool. I saw it, and I definitely wanted to buy it. ”

Put it down and change a few pieces, "Boss Li, it seems that you are a real expert, this kind of wool can't escape my eyes, let alone your eyes." I won't ask you why you chose them, and you won't say that this kind of thing can only be understood and unspeakable. In the past, the owners of the wool yard said that you were amazing, and I still believed it, but now I believe it. ”

Boss Liu said: "Hermes-Epitek, Boss Li is a person who does great things, and he has much more courage and money than us. ”

"With this kind of vision for wool and enough courage, it is expected that you will make a fortune. However, Boss Li, you are not as free as us in the officialdom, and it is not easy to become famous. ”

Wuyang said, "Yes." I think it's not difficult for me to make money, and when I enter the officialdom, I want to protect my own property, and I also want to work for the well-being of more people. Although it is difficult to make a name for yourself, there is no turning back when you open the bow, so you can only go on. ”

"Boss Li, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. You are in the officialdom, I hope you will do what you said, for the well-being of the people, and when the people are rich, they will have the money to buy jewelry and collect it in the prosperous world. ”

"I'll do my best. Boss Yang, we will leave after delaying your precious time. ”

Yang Shuming said: "I want to invite you to have a meal, it's not easy to see you come over, time is expensive, let's get together again when you have time." ”

Boss Liu sent them back to the army and saw that Qin Zhengyuan and Cai Limin's cars were parked in the ping, Qin Zhengyuan was in charge of wool transportation last night, and he called Cai Limin without resting. "Limin, where are you?"

"I watched the basketball game on the basketball court. Master, what's the matter with you? ”

"I've come back from shopping, let's buy wool."

"Okay, I'll be there shortly, and the troops will gather soon."

After Cai Limin arrived, Wuyang said: "Limin, I'm very worried about a situation happening now, let's discuss a solution first." ”

"What's the situation?"

"That's the case, I'm more famous here, many people, especially the bosses of the wool yard know me, if I fancy a piece of wool, the boss knows that there is Cui, and he will definitely not give any concessions, and it is possible that he will cut the wool himself, and the businessman is profit-seeking, and we can't say anything."

"What do you mean, you want me and Zhengyuan to come forward to select wool?"

"Not exactly. When you arrive at a wool yard, I will choose the wool in the ping, you and Zhengyuan go to the indoor iron frame to choose, these can be bargained, those big wool, you can pay back a lot, you can cut off half and slowly add up, add to two-thirds of the original price. ”

Cai Limin smiled: "Okay, we'll help you choose wool." Transport and stone cutting, I have already arranged for Battalion Commander Zhao of the Automobile Battalion and Captain Xiao of the Armed Police. ”

"Limin, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the master and is becoming more and more like a profiteer."

"Bargaining is a profiteer, huh? If we want to buy so much wool, we can save billions of dollars casually, how much porcelain can we buy at Ji Han's house? ”

"Okay, thank you for your teachings. We pick indoors, and we can speed up the selection, but it's best not to say we're all the way. ”

"People are not stupid, it is only a matter of time before they know, and when it comes time to pay, it will be okay to know. The troops are on board, let's go too. Anlan, you go to the bank with Boss Liu, withdraw some cash, and give 10,000 to each forklift driver, Boss Liu knows the number of drivers, and asks the bank to prepare 2 million every day, and you go to pick it up every day from tomorrow. ”

"Okay. I went back to Sister-in-law He after I got it done, I didn't stay with the troops anymore, and the eyes of the soldiers were quite terrifying. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Whoever makes you look so beautiful, no one wants to take a few more looks, not to mention that they are all men here." ”

Cai Limin said: "Master, let's eat first." The cooking class has already cooked, and the dishes are almost ready, so if you want to eat anyway, it is better to eat and leave. ”

"Okay, tell them to get out of the car. In the future, we will still eat here, Anlan, you give me tens of thousands of yuan in cash at night, and I will let Limin hand it over to the cooking class. ”

The first place I took everyone to was Xiaomao's house, which was close to He's sister-in-law's wool yard, and coming here first could make the officers and soldiers of the automobile battalion familiar with the road, and the wool yard here was also relatively large, and there were many wool materials to choose from.

The years are urging people to grow old, and when he saw Xiao Mao's father and sister, Wuyang's understanding of this sentence deepened. Boss Mao has gray hair and a little rickety back. My sister's figure is still so good, but her already dark face is even drier, and she is drawing her eyebrows and wearing lipstick, so she can't bear to see it.

My sister nodded and smiled when she saw the afternoon sun, and Boss Mao said, "Boss Li, you are a rare guest, you haven't been here for a few years." ”

Wuyang stretched out his hand to shake him, "I'm usually busy with work, isn't this the National Day holiday, just come over and buy some wool." You have a lot of customers here. ”

Boss Mao said: "This is not a long holiday, there are some repeat customers, mainly some jade merchants, and the travel agency has also brought some guests." They all see more, buy less, you listen, the stone cutter is not on. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "As soon as I come, your stone cutter will be busy and won't win." ”

"Boss Li, what do you mean by bringing so many troops?"

"Some of them were arranged for me by my friends, and some of them wanted to buy wool themselves, so you thought I had bought them. In terms of price, what is the market now? ”

"Boss Li, the wool in this ping, when you first bought it, I remember that it was 2,000 yuan for 1 kilogram, and now the price is 20,000 yuan, I will give you the real price, 10,000 yuan, you choose 100 piles, or send 5 piles. Boss Li, I specially left you a few big pieces of wool here, and my brother also left them for you. Let's go check it out first. Right in the ping, this direction was blocked by cars. “

Wuyang followed around the truck, and there were 12 large pieces of wool in the flat next to the building. Wuyang saw that the big wool was bigger than the previous one, so he asked, "Boss Mao, how much do these wool weigh?" ”

"I've weighed them all, the smallest is 62 tons, the largest is 85 tons."

"Now it's a couple of million dollars each, right?"

"Not only that, but it cost tens of millions."

"Your price tag is 1 billion, and someone has to buy it." (To be continued......)
