Qi Tiejun said: "The chief is too polite, we are ashamed." Chief, we sent the photos of the jewelry to the children, and the children went to the jewelry store to inquire, and only then did they know that the price was so high. β
"Let's not talk about that. I'll give the soldiers something later, and you'll take the lead in accepting it. I also want you to take a few kun bags away, go to a new job, go to the chief's house for a walk, or bring something to cover your hands, and the relationship will be easy to handle in the future. β
Li Zhongwen said: "Chief, you also gave them last time, right?" When Staff Officer Yin went back, he reported to me and wanted to hand it in, but I didn't agree. You keep spending money like this, how can we be embarrassed? β
"Don't talk about that. I'm sure I can afford to give it, you just take it. Division Commander Qi took a few pieces of wine and left, and after Political Commissar Li arrived in Beijing, he went to the place I designated to get it. You soldiers drink boldly, I like people who drink boldly, but unfortunately I can't be a soldier in this life. What's going on with the stone this time? β
Qi Tiejun said: "I dug it on the side of a hillside. I built a training ground to expand the area, and I ended up digging up these stones. Haven't served yet, I asked the fighters to open the tarp and ask you to take a look? β
"Don't look at it, let's see it when the car is unloaded. Is there more of this kind of stone? β
Qi Tiejun said: "The mountain is not very high, the bottom is 1 square kilometer in size, it is estimated that there are such stones under the mountain, and it is not clear whether there are other places." Anyway, they are all within the camp area, and the chief thinks it is worth mining. I told the army commander and the political commissar. Let the engineer regiment mine it. β
Wuyang said, "Okay." We'll see. Let's go and eat. I've eaten, and I'm not going to accompany you. I went to arrange for the waiter to serve the wine. β
Li Zhongwen said: "Chief, I have to unload the car in the afternoon, and I won't drink at noon." β
"Okay, let's have two drinks in the evening. You bring the car keys, and I'll have the things carried up. β
After waiting for a while, the two managers drove over. "Boss, the money has been loaded, what should I do with the cigarettes?"
"Did you take a plastic bag?"
"Brought."
"Divide it immediately, two in a plastic bag. Put the bag in it too, and then go to the dinner table and give me one for each person, 10 kun bags. β
Wuyang packed Kun into the car, and went in to ask the waiter to bring the wine. The soldier likes to drink spirits, so he asked the waiter to move 5 pieces of white wine and 2 pieces of red wine.
The two of them packed the cigarettes, and Wuyang pushed a hotel trolley with them. The plastic bag was transported to the dining table. "Comrades, everyone is working hard. As a token of my appreciation, I would like to give you a little souvenir and please smile. I didn't drink at noon, so I drank with everyone in the evening. I'll stay upstairs here tonight, I'll be back tomorrow. β
Staff Officer Yin said: "Comrades, we thank the chiefs for their care and work harder after returning to the army. Come, everyone raised their teacups and wished the chief good health. β
Wuyang hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, comrades." β
After the meal, Li Zhongwen went to take the high-speed train and left, Staff Officer Yin took the car to Stone Villa to unload agarwood, and Wuyang and Qi Tiejun took the car to the jewelry processing factory. When I arrived at the factory, I untied the tarpaulin and saw that the carriages were almost full. Wuyang said with a smile: "Master Qi, this is Yan zhΓ²ng overloaded." β
Qi Tiejun said with a smile: "The troops' cars are in good condition, it's fine." There are not many loads, and the 12-ton car is only 18 tons. The 20 trucks were piled up, and they were only more than 13 tons. β
The military vehicle does not have a dump function, so Wuyang asked Chen Xiaobao to transfer the excavator. I climbed up to the carriage board and looked at the stones, and I saw that each stone was brilliant and beautiful. There are whole pieces of white, yellow, black, reddish, purple, blue, but there is no green. Some are even the colors of a stone, some of which are disorderly distributed, and some are layered. For example, when you see a piece, it is a layer of white and a layer of red, and then a layer of white, like pork belly.
Based on Wuyang's perception of stones, although these stones are very delicate, they are definitely not jade, nor jade, not Huanglongyu, not Shoushan stone, and bloodstone. Maybe it's a new variety that hasn't been discovered yet, a new kind of jade. There are some similarities between this stone and those purchased and mined in Lanjiang, and it should be classified into a large category. For thousands of years, there have been different opinions on the definition of jade, and Wuyang is in favor of the saying that "the beauty of stone is jade".
If you want to carve a small piece such as a bracelet or pendant, you can only do it by cutting a part of the stone out of the middle. But then you would have to cut through the big stones, which would be a great waste. It is better to design and carve according to the color of the stone, give rich imagination, and then be able to carve beautiful works.
Of course, whether the bracelet can be appreciated, whether it is worth it or not, is still the key to the problem. Wuyang estimates that even if the jewelry company spares no effort to promote it to the outside world, it will take a long time to have an effect. Not to mention this kind of unnamed stone, even the other colors in jadeite except green have taken a long time to become popular. When white jade bracelets began to appear, the price of white bracelets of ice seeds was even worse than that of emerald green bean bracelets.
After Chen Xiaobao came back, Wuyang said: "Xiaobao, these stones can't be unloaded here, unload them to the most remote corner." When you have time, go buy a valley and throw everything you will ship into the valley. β
Xiaobao took the order to take the car away, and Qi Tiejun said, "Chief, these stones are useless? β
Wuyang smiled and said, "How can it be useless? It is not yet known to people, or it may be that we are lonely and do not know. If we hastily carve it and sell it, it will definitely not sell for a price, and it will be a great waste of resources. Myanmar's jadeite resources are almost exhausted, and Khotanese jade is gone, and this stone is not worth a hundred times by then? β
Qi Tiejun smiled: "It's better for you to see far." But even though these stones are not valuable, they have to be mined and transported from 600 kilometers away. It's a lot of money. Only a big consortium like you can afford to collect it. β
Wuyang said: "The reason why I asked them to unload these here. It is to be seen often by these designers and engravers, if one day the inspiration is triggered and a shocking work is carved, then they will immediately be worth a hundred times? So you don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to collect. When you go back, study with your superiors to see what price is more appropriate. I don't want you to transport it, the impact will be too great, and the weight of your military vehicles will not be large enough. β
"Chief. I don't think this will work, we can refer to the local market for mining ordinary stone to set the price, for example, what is the price of mining limestone and building foundation stone, we will also set the price. β
Wuyang smiled: "Senior Commander Qi, this is too low to last long." You have to consider the oil used in the machinery, the wear and tear, and the wages of the officers and soldiers. After the officers and men have been given subsidies and the machinery has been repaired, if it can still bring a considerable amount of income to the troops, this matter can be carried on, otherwise there will be no motivation. β
Qi Tiejun said: "Carry out construction. You can also train the troops. β
"The engineers of your troops, after all, are not infrastructure engineers. It cannot be constructed for many months. You can discuss with them and see if we can keep some veterans, and I will gather some migrant workers to come over and mix with the troops in the construction, or open their own construction sites. If you can mine outside the camp along the course of the vein, you can help to negotiate with me, and let the people I send buy the land. β
"Okay, I'll try to make it as easy as possible for you to mine stones, and try to do more with less."
"Good. We must do more and do good things with less money. If things don't work out, I'd rather spend more money to get things done. Master Qi, this place will be unloaded soon, let's go to the place where the agarwood is unloaded over there to have a look. β
"Okay, let's go. Chief, if this is the case, my family wants to go shopping, and you tell her how to go. β
Wuyang said: "I called my wife to drive my sister-in-law to go shopping, and we waited here for a while, and she came." β
called Gao Xiaoya and asked her to drive over and take her sister-in-law shopping, and Xiaoya promised to come over immediately. "Master Qi, let's go to the finished product warehouse to take a look, the jade carvings here are beautiful."
Qi Tiejun said with a smile: "I won't look at it, if I'm not careful, I won't be able to pull it out in my eyes." β
Wuyang pointed to the jadeite in the yard and said: "What does it matter, you see, all the objects are carved from this jadeite, and the jadeite is cut out of the rubble, we have better luck buying rubble, and the money spent is not too much, that is to say, the cost of these things is not high, and the price is not as frighteningly high as the price of the jewelry store." β
"Chief, I really don't want to look at it. We haven't even bought our own house now, the barracks of the army are simply painted, and these things don't match, and people often come and go at home, and if others fancy what they want, give it, don't give it, we have to give a reason, and it will inevitably cause trouble again. β
Wuyang smiled: "That's the same." In this way, we recently carved a batch of jade pillows modeled on the porcelain pillows of the Song Dynasty, you work and live in the south, the weather is hot, you can use it for a long time every year, go and choose a few. Xiaobao, you lead the way. β
Xiaobao said: "Brother, the jade you got back this time still has to be placed in the lobby of various jewelry stores, right?" β
"Yes. Your grandmother wants to carve a statue of Guanyin, and you can ask her what color she likes. β
"Okay, I'll ask when I get back. Brother, I don't think it's a good way for us to put big jadeite in jewelry stores. When customers want to buy jadeite objects, they will not make up their minds to buy them because we have so much jadeite, but give people a feeling that the store is bullying customers, and because of these things, each store must add several security guards, and the cost is a lot more. β
Wuyang said: "If you think it's not good, discuss it with Zhang Yibo, just cut it and transport it back to the processing plant, let's look at the things first." β
Xiaobao took Wuyang and Qi Tiejun to the warehouse, pointed to the jade pillows placed on the wooden shelf and said, "Master Qi, brother, these jade pillows are all carved by us according to the graphics and size of the porcelain pillows. There are 16 kinds of porcelain pillows in the museum, and there are many jade pillows here, and there are also 12 zodiac patterns, and there are now 26 shapes. According to the teacher at the museum, porcelain pillows were used by wealthy people, while jade pillows were enjoyed by emperors. β
Mrs. Qi Tiejun asked, "What are the benefits of using a jade pillow?" β
Wuyang said: "In ancient times, there was no air conditioning, so it was cool to use jade pillows." β
Xiaobao said: "Cool is one aspect. It can also increase blood circulation. Clear the heart and eyes, reduce fire, and lower blood pressure. Elder brother. Originally, the carving was going to be sent to my grandmother and uncle, but considering the cold weather, I didn't send it for the time being. β
"It's okay to send it later. Do your best to carve as many as you can on the counters of each store. This thing not only has practical value, but also can maintain and appreciate its value, and rich people will like to collect it. β
"Okay. In the morning, Professor Tan called, and this time the museum has collected several porcelain pillow styles, and asked me to bring them over as samples. β
"Okay, you guys design a little more style. Concentrate on carving it out. Various colors and grades of jadeite and Khotanese jade can be used to carve to meet the needs of various consumer groups. β
Xiaobao said: "If the water species is too high, it may not be easy to sell, who will buy this kind of thing with billions?" β
"It's the treasure of the jewelry store. Master Qi, how is it, do you like it? β
Qi Tiejun said: "It's better not to." Chief, this is priceless. β
Wuyang said: "Sue sΓΉ don't think about the price, take it if you like it." β
Mrs. Qi Tiejun said: "Old Qi, this doll is very beautiful, so I want one for Qi Zhirao." Li Zhe likes tigers. Why don't you give him a tiger look? β
Wuyang said: "Sister-in-law, choose one for the old man and one for yourselves." β
Qi Tiejun went to pick up a jade pillow and tried it. smiled and said: "This one is almost 20 kilograms, you think about the price of that bracelet, you should understand how much it is worth." Chief, we can't climb up the pole, right? β
Wuyang said: "Old Qi, you are seeing the outside, aren't you?" If we were brothers, just take it. Otherwise, let's go. β
"Okay, okay, it's better to be respectful, I'll give this little white rabbit to my future grandson first, and then choose it myself."
His wife smiled and said, "Old Qi, you will choose, the eyes of the little white rabbit are rubies." β
Wuyang said, "It's okay, it's okay." In the future, where my nephews will settle down, I will buy them a house and send a few more ornaments. Xiaobao, Commander Qi, they packed the boxes and moved them to the car if they took a fancy to them. I'll go out and see if your sister-in-law is here. β
went out, and sure enough, Xiaoya had arrived. "Wuyang, who is this person?"
"A chief of staff of the army, I recommended him to Huang Li's father."
Xiaoya smiled: "It's for the future layout again, right?" β
"Got it and asked? Later, you will take your sister-in-law to the garment factory in Lujiang County, and she will give her whatever she likes, remember, there are still old people and children at home. β
Xiaoya said: "Is it necessary to do this? β
Wuyang said, "How much money do you have in your hand?" The things he sent me must be worth more than the money you have in charge. β
"Are you taking a small loss and taking a big advantage? Well, I know what to do. The sisters at home have gone over to pick out clothes, you should pay for it, right? β
Wuyang smiled: "You should pay for it." β
At this time, Xiaobao's people moved out the wooden box containing the jade pillow, and Qi Tiejun's driver opened the trunk, which was already filled with wine, and now he had to move the wine out and put the wooden box first. The nine wooden boxes were finished, and the remaining two pieces of wine could not be filled, so they had to be placed under the seats in the back row. Qi Tiejun smiled and said, "Chief, I'm really coming home with a full load." β
Wuyang said: "It's not enough to worry about it, Lao Qi, sister-in-law, this is my lover Gao Xiaoya, let her accompany her sister-in-law to go shopping." β
Mrs. Qi said: "Ouch, my sister is so beautiful, you are really a golden boy and a girl, born a pair." Are you married? β
Xiaoya smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, our children are all 1.3 meters tall and in the third grade." She avoided the fact that the child was only 7 years old. Because of the perennial exercise of Wuyang's children, Mengyu and Mengxin often give them grooming, they all develop relatively early, and several older children are more than 1.6 meters.
"Then I really can't see it. Secretary Li, you are really blessed. β
Wuyang smiled: "Sister-in-law is really good at talking." Xiaoya, you can't go shopping enough, go early, don't have enough time to eat in the restaurant and then shop, we still have dinner at the Heyuan Hotel. β
When I came to Stone Villa, I saw Yuan Shengping directing the unloading of the truck. Engravers, apprentices and drivers are all on the scene, and it is a busy scene. The drivers were young and strong, carrying large pieces and holding small pieces, and Yuan Shengping himself sat next to the electronic scale and told them to send the weighed agarwood to the No. 1 warehouse.
"Secretary Li, I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk to you, you can do it yourself."
"Okay, you're busy, leave us alone."
Qi Tiejun and the driver also went to carry the agarwood, and Wuyang grabbed him, "Don't do it, I have something to tell you." β
Qi Tiejun had no choice but to give up and follow Wuyang towards the mountain. "Chief, what's the matter with you?"
Wuyang smiled and said, "You're about to become a general, and you're still going to do physical work?" Like words? β
"I will always be a soldier in front of the chief."
"Then I'll arrange for you to chat with me. Do you like Tibetan mastiffs? We have a Tibetan mastiff nursery here, and they are kept in cages during the day. β
Qi Tiejun said: "There is no interest. When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog, and I was a little frightened when I saw a dog. Oh, why is your wood so big? β
"It's shipped back from Brazil and India, and it's a great material for furniture. When you arrive at the military headquarters, I will send someone to bring you a set of furniture. β
"You're welcome, Chief. No matter how good things are, they are a burden when they arrive at the barracks. β
Wuyang said: "Yes, the soldiers of the iron battalion and flowing water, you can't stay in one place for long." Otherwise, you go to Beijing or Yangcheng to buy a house, and I will send you furniture. β
Qi Tiejun said: "In the future, if the child gets married, or if I retire, I will ask you again, not now." β
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
The two chatted like this, and Wuyang received a call from the boss of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yang. "Boss Li, I will contact you about the mussel seedlings, the price is moderate, enough for you to breed 100,000 mu, do you want so much?"
"Yes, when can I come and pull the goods?"
"You have the venue and the equipment ready to come over at any time."
"Okay, I'll get in touch then, thank you."
After hanging up, he called Zhu Shunzhi again, "Brother Shunzhi, I want to cultivate pearls in Qianlong Bay, how about you be in charge?" β
Zhu Shunzhi said: "You can find someone else for this matter." I've been so busy lately that I can't even bother with gardening. β
"What are you up to?"
Zhu Shunzhi said: "I don't know what I'm busy with, it seems that I haven't done anything every day, and I'm busy every day." β
Wuyang said, "Have you planted the trees in your garden and the round tower?" Is the development of Snake Mountain Ridge and Dragon Bone Ridge being carried out? β
Zhu Shunzhi laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, when you say that, I remembered that I planted more than 20,000 trees in Dangui Garden, modeled after famous gardens such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lion Grove, arranged the round building and 3 passages, planted more than 70,000 trees, and transported more than 100,000 trees to the green belt in the urban area." The Dragon Bone Ridge and the Snake Mountain Ridge have been built according to the plan, the houses, pigsties, and cattle pens have almost been built, and wild animals such as deer have been introduced, and more than 8,000 acres of cultivated land have been reclaimed, ready to be rented to the public. In addition, the barrage net near the river in Qianlong Bay has been built and is ready to contact the fish fry to be released. β
Wuyang knew that Zhu Shunzhi was a technical talent, and there was no way to force him to have any clear ideas in management. "Forget it, I won't look for you in this matter, I'll find someone else to manage it. You should not stock bighead carp and silver carp fry in Qianlong Bay first. β
