Chapter Ninety-Six: Old Objects
In the afternoon, I went to Stone Villa with Qiu Xiaomu, where the two new stonemasons were rubbing the stones, and the ten brothers of Xiaomu were watching. Wuyang saw that the two stonemasons were very skilled, and it seemed that what Master Xia said was not bad.
Explain the common sense of wool and jadeite to the stone cutting master and Xiaomu's brothers, and let them analyze and compare with the real thing, and the group of people is very serious. Wuyang did not let them master all the ideas in 3 or 5 days, so he discussed the work of the brothers with Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu said: "There is no precedent for any jewelry company to set up a special gambling stone team, I think let them learn the knowledge of gambling stones, while mastering the stone cutting skills, usually when there is nothing to do, they can cut stones, rub stones, you can also learn and understand in practice, and participate in gambling stones when there is something." ”
Wuyang felt that this was very good, so he decided to buy a stone cutter and a stone movers, which had been used at home by his uncle construction company, and now the construction company wanted to build a processing plant and warehouse for himself, and the stone cutter was busy and could not win. The last time the stone cutter of the construction company in Wuyang Zhilu Road was bought by Zhou Dian, so he called Zhou Dian, and Zhou Dian said that he was with his uncle and was on the construction site of the wall.
Find Uncle and Zhou Dian, who are on the fence site with a few people. Wuyang told his uncle about reporting to work on April 15, and his uncle Li Qiuhua expressed warm congratulations and ardent expectations. Wuyang handed over all the work at hand to Xiong Gangqiang a few days earlier, and Li Qiuhua also knew about it, was very satisfied with his performance, and encouraged him to do his job wholeheartedly in the future.
"The state petrochemical company has notified the group company that it has approved their oil exploration project, the first phase of which is set for Iran," Li told Wuyang. An agreement has been reached between the two countries. Personnel were dispatched to carry out exploration in early April. Yesterday has been discussed with Xiong Gangqiang, the appointment of Gao Qilin as the general manager of the oil exploration company of the group company, Yu Xianglin as the chief engineer, in the group company hired personnel, the appointment of a deputy general manager and an assistant to the general manager, today they have taken the documents to the capital to gather, the company's finance has also allocated 3 billion yuan to prepare, it is estimated that two months later. More money to be invested. ”
Wuyang said: "The affairs of the group company on my side, with Wu Fang's departure and my fading out, except for Pei Xuewen on the other side of the manor, who is his father-in-law, the other personnel are all shareholders, and I will ask my uncle to worry more about it in the future." ”
Li Qiuhua said with a smile: "You used to recruit people, and you allocated shares to them at the beginning, have you already considered today's situation?" Now after a few months of testing and operation, they have all become one-sided figures, and you can rest assured that they are now working for you. It's also for myself, and I'll do my best. Of course, our supervision and management will not be relaxed, especially in terms of financial management, which will be strictly managed. Whether it is in the implementation of the company's financial system and share dividends, we will implement it in accordance with the agreement. ”
Wuyang said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, this time our Master Xia went to the Burmese mine to cut stones and took away a few of your people. ”
Li Qiuhua said: "My support for you is unconditional, not to mention a few people, even anything, if you need it, I should go all out to support it." Besides, these stonemasons work for a long time with you, and with me they are temporary, and it is normal for the water to flow to the lower places and the people to go to the higher places. After thinking for a while, Li Qiuhua said again: "There are a few more things, one is that the wall here has been built in the past two days, and our final accounts will come out soon, as well as the money to buy the land, I see that the property rights are all given to you, and the money will be paid by you, and the second is that Xiaobao came to my house to pay New Year's greetings and said, you are ready to invest in real estate with a few of them, and this time my company has built another community, which was originally going to be advertised, if you want to buy, I will sell it all to you." ”
"How big is it and how much does it cost?" Wuyang asked.
"It covers an area of 70,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 60,000 square meters. There are two houses for community management and supermarkets and restaurants, with 68 villas, the large one is 1,200 square meters and the small one is 600 square meters. This time, we asked a designer from Hong Kong to design it, and the house type is more avant-garde. Due to the company's current busy business, we have not had time to renovate. In the future, when you sell the sand and then decorate, it will be more in line with the trend at that time. Originally, the price was 4,000 yuan per square meter, with a total price of 240 million yuan, but considering Geely, we set it at 238 million yuan. Last time, Xiaobao said that he had 135 million in his hand, and I think you will buy it together. ”
"Uncle, I won't participate, in addition to the money in Xiaobao's hand, I also brought back a few pieces of wool from Pingzhou for a few aunts, if there is jade in it one day, I will help them sell it, and use the money to buy a villa, if the money is not enough, let Brother Zhou of the security company and them participate in the shares."
"You guys are better than me, although I have given your aunt and them some money over the years, but I haven't thought about how to make them rich. But you didn't suffer a loss, the two buildings I bought last year, I also advised you not to buy them at that time, now less than half a year, from the then 285 million to the current value of more than 400 million, especially the construction of the market Daxia, and then spend about 80 million investment, built and sold, at least can be sold to more than 800 million, because the shop there, has now been sold to 30,000 square meters, if there is no Xiaobao's money at that time, you can't buy a building. Of course, Xiaobao's money is also earned by you. ”
"Uncle, I think this matter is settled, tomorrow I will ask Xiaobao to give you the money, and the insufficient part will definitely be made up within half a month. I want Brother Dian to help me buy a stone cutter today, I wonder if there is a bigger one in the road? ”
Zhou Dian said: "I'll tell you the address, you can go and see the goods yourself, and buy what is suitable." ”
Wuyang said: "It's okay, then Brother Xie Lu and Brother Xie Dian." ”
"Wuyang, if you handle these tasks well, get ready, report to work on time, don't delay." Li Qiuhua said.
"Uncle, don't worry, I don't have anything to do now, I won't delay." After Wuyang finished speaking, he left them and walked towards the Stone Villa.
Back at the villa, Wuyang saw that one of Xiaomu's brothers, a bald man named Zhang Yibo, was deftly operating the stone polishing machine, and after a while, a large piece of jade was rubbed out, while the other two people were much worse...... Asked Qiu Xiaomu next to him. Did Zhang Yibo do it before, Xiaomu said that he had never done it before, but it was just ingenuity. Wuyang remembered this person.
The two masters pointed out from time to time, and Wuyang saw from their guidance that they had indeed mastered the essentials of the action, and he was quite happy in his heart. Famous teachers make high apprentices. If these 10 or so people can usually do a good job of cutting and rubbing stones, then the tens of thousands of wool at home will not have to sleep in the pond for a long time. It can quickly become a jadeite in the warehouse, and the wool bought back by gambling stones in the future does not have to worry.
Thinking of jadeite, jadeite came immediately. drove in a trailer with a foreign license plate, Wuyang hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, it was a vehicle sent by Mao Dashan to transport jadeite.
Wuyang said with a smile: "Master, you are really worthy of being a person who travels from south to north, and you came here directly without asking for directions." ”
The driver smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, the road is in the mouth." I still asked a few times. Boss Li, it's not early, let's unload the car immediately. As he spoke, he opened the car door, revealing a small half car of jade inside.
The color of the jadeite is passable. But the water species is relatively poor, and it is only suitable for making bracelets and other things for 3 or 5,000 yuan each. Wuyang took out the key to the treasure room from the safe. Beckoning everyone to carry it together. I really want to come to what, a few days ago Xiaobao also said that this grade of jadeite is easy to sell, today there is such a big car, there are more than 800 pieces, the average weight of each piece is about 30 kilograms.
Wuyang saw that a lot of jadeite was blown up, maybe this is the only drawback of relying on explosives to blow up jadeite. However, for themselves, no matter what grade of jadeite it is, because it does not have to specify what it is used for, it will be broken if it is broken. The value of each piece of jadeite should be about 50,000 yuan, 800 pieces of jadeite are 40 million yuan, and tomorrow the company's finance will deposit 4 million yuan into Mao Dashan's account. Thinking of this, Wuyang considered that the company's recent expenses have been relatively large, and that he was about to go to the Northeast to purchase steel, and that the income from tungsten ore and gold stores might not be enough, so he still threw away the futures that Boss Sun bought with the money to buy gold tonight and returned them to the company.
After unloading the jadeite and moving into the treasure room, the jadeite that Master Xia had wiped before and that had been wiped in the afternoon was also moved in, and was about to go home from work, Xie Daxia came back with a big truck.
Xie Daxia showed his signature smile, "Wuyang, the furniture this time should be fine, all of them are the most high-end in the provincial capital, and there are a few old objects." I also bought the rosewood dining table. ”
Wuyang said: "What about the high-end furniture in the capital you talked about last time? ”
"I have already informed Qin Xiaoying to let her place an order, and after finishing here tomorrow, I will rush over the day after tomorrow."
"What else is going on here? Didn't you buy all the furniture? ”
Xie Daxia said with a smile: "This is only a small part, most of them will be shipped tomorrow, and 38 beds will be customized." It won't be available until a month later. ”
"There are only 36 rooms here, so why do you need 38 beds?"
"I can't take two of such good things back. And these furniture, 320,08 sets, authentic mahogany, I also want two sets, you won't feel distressed, right? ”
"Of course I feel distressed, isn't there meat on the legs of mosquitoes? Hero, the bed you bought will be available for a month, do you want us to sleep on the floor? ”
"Where you sleep, it's not up to this hero, hurry up and unload the car."
The furniture on the truck was tightly wrapped, the outer layer was wrapped in a cardboard box and then tied with rope, and the cardboard box was opened, and the inside was wrapped in flannel tape. Xie Daxia resolutely refused to remove the flannel layer, saying that he would go upstairs and talk about it, for fear that it would be broken when he went upstairs.
All moved to the living room on the second floor, only then did the newspaper be opened, and the furniture inside was antique, finely workmanship, and well preserved. It is a set of dining tables and chairs, two large bookcases, a large desk, chairs, and a large screen. It is said to be a screen, it can only be hung on the wall, not on the ground. Xie Daxia said that this is a hanging screen. In addition, there are some small items, such as pedals, bedside tables, dressers and chairs used in ancient times, a total of 18 pieces.
Xie Daxia said: "I told him that we are not in the cultural relics business, but to buy old furniture, and if he deceives me, I will find him trouble, so he guarantees that it is true." ”
Wuyang remembered that the boss should still be in Lujiang, that was an expert, there was no way to fool him, so he immediately called the boss, and the boss said that the plane would be tomorrow morning. Wuyang said don't eat yet. I'll pick you up right away. We'll have dinner together. I invite you. Wuyang arranged for Xie Daxia to take a group of people to open the container of old objects he bought in Myanmar, move the furniture to the 3rd floor, and pick up the boss and Boss Sun by himself.
When he opened the container and saw that there were more than a dozen long bags made of canvas inside, he knew that it was ivory, and asked the brothers to move the ivory to a bedroom on the third floor and lock the door. It's better to keep these things out of the way. Otherwise, it won't be long before everyone in the world knows the Tao, and these things will definitely not be kept.
When the boss arrived, he carefully inspected every piece of furniture on the second floor. After looking at it for a while, the boss spoke: "Boss Xiaoli, what about the furniture you bought in Myanmar last time?" ”
Wuyang said, "It's on the 3rd floor." ”
The boss said: "The things here are old things, but they are 100 to 200 years later than the last time, some things are from the Kangxi period, and some things are from the Qianlong period." The latest are more than 200 years old. It's good that people can find one or two pieces, but now you've found so many at once. I reckon. The price should be between 800 and 10 million, I don't know if I'm right? ”
Xie Daxia said: "I bought it back for 15 million, isn't it too expensive?" ”
The boss smiled and said: "Your boss has money, and if you talk about a penny or a penny, it's not too much of a loss, maybe it won't be ten years, and it will reach 20 million." Boss Xiaoli, these things of yours are enough to furnish a study and a living room, and if you want to arrange a bedroom, there will be less things like beds and bookshelves in the beds. ”
Wuyang said: "Our manager Xie helped me customize the bed, which is mahogany, I wonder if the road can be matched?" ”
The boss smiled: "It's impossible to match." Do you know what the bed used to look like? When you have time to go to the Forbidden City to see, of course, it is a dragon bed, but the folk will not be much worse. Besides, what kind of mahogany are you talking about? Mahogany is divided into several kinds such as Huanghua pear, and Huanghua pear alone is divided into Hainan Huanghua pear and Vietnamese Huanghua pear, and Hainan Huanghua pear is much more valuable than Vietnam Huanghua pear. There are very few Hainan huanghuali pears, and the price is frighteningly high, and it is basically 1,000 pieces of 1 kilogram at present. ”
Xie Daxia said: "That boss, if you don't say it today, I really don't know about these things." What materials did the owner of the furniture store give us, we didn't know what to do, and we would call tomorrow to say that it was good, and the worst was to Vietnamese Huanghuali. ”
The boss said: "As long as it is Huanghuali, although the price varies greatly, the material is not much different, I am afraid that it is not Huanghuali at all, it is other mahogany used." There are many varieties of mahogany, and I don't know the doorway to it. When you go to buy furniture, you can talk to the furniture dealer more, they should understand. ”
Wuyang said: "Hero, you are so smart, go buy a few books on wood and furniture, and ask more if you don't understand when dealing with furniture merchants." You buy so much furniture, people have to answer your questions. Now the market is extremely non-standardized, fake, shoddy, should abound, we bought old furniture eye-catching and reasonable, buy new furniture also deceived by the deceived, on the laughing generous. ”
Xie Daxia smiled and said, "There was no fake in ancient times, right?" ”
"In ancient times, ordinary people could not afford to buy such precious wood as huanghuali, and dignitaries and royalties disdained shoddy. Originally, making furniture was a showy thing, but putting a fake one at home was not embarrassing? I can't pass it on. ”
"Boss, do these huanghuali grow in the tropics, the last time the newspaper said that a furniture merchant bought 125 square kilometers of tropical rainforest in Brazil, is there a huanghuali in it?" Wuyang asked.
"It is certain that there is rosewood in the rainforests of Brazil, but it is much worse than the huanghuali in Hainan and Vietnam, and its pattern is a bit like the flower face of Peking Opera, so everyone calls it grimace wood. The price is also frighteningly expensive, and last time a few merchants in the capital were ready to buy it, they were scared back by the high price. The boss said.
Wuyang took this information to heart. The high price is not a problem for yourself, the key is to see if it is worth it.
The boss said to go upstairs and have a look, and a large group of people came to the 3rd floor. As soon as he entered, the boss was fascinated by the wood carvings. The wood carvings are 12 small ones, they are 12 zodiac ones, each weighing about 2 kilograms, and the large ones are 18 pieces, about 1 meter high, and the weight is about 50 kilograms. After looking at it for a long time, he asked Wuyang, "These wood carvings were also brought back from Myanmar?" ”
"yes, I bought it from the stall owner, the small ones are $200 each, and the big ones are $8,000 each, isn't it worth it?"
"Let me tell you, such a wood carving, even in Ms. Chen, who collects sandalwood in China, there is no such a well-shaped artwork. The price of sandalwood is already higher than gold, and with such an almost unique artistic shape, the value should be more than 1 billion. The boss said excitedly.
"Boss Li, you are really a rich man, you spent $150,000 to buy back a work of art worth 1 billion." Boss Sun said.
Xie Daxia also smiled and said: "It's true that the richer you are, the easier it is to make money." ”
"150,000 or 100 million, for me, it's just some playthings. Brothers, help me lift up the two large cabinets on the second floor, and let me see if the antique furniture can hold antiques. Wuyang smiled.
When I returned home after dinner, it was already 9 o'clock, and I took a shower at noon and sat down to watch TV with my grandfather and parents. Mengxin made tea for Wuyang, and refilled water for her grandfather and parents-in-law, so she joined the women's lineup, and Xiaohui and Shuangshuang were tired of Wuyang's side. A few people hugged each other, not to mention, but also picked and touched from time to time, parents have long been used to this kind of thing, and grandpa laughed it off, which also made them more bold.
After frolicking for a while, Qiu Xiaomu and his family came, Mengxin got up to make tea for them again, chatted for a while, and said to the other: "Xiaomu, you left Xiao Xu alone last night, are you and Wuyang having homosexuality?" Don't you know that young couples are old companions? ”
Xiao Xu blushed shyly, "You are right, you want to be a husband, and you still rely on others." After Xiao Mu heard about it, he chatted for a few words and left. Before leaving, Wuyang told him to throw Brent crude oil tonight, and Xiaomu agreed.
Now because Xiaomu and several people don't have driver's licenses, Wuyang arranged for Xiaomu to live in the right villa, and the other two brought their girlfriends to live in Wu Fang and Pei Lei's villa. It happened that both pairs and Xiaohui went to the driving school to sign up, and Wuyang asked all 14 of them to sign up, get their driver's licenses as soon as possible, and let them live in the Liming community, and Qiu Xiaomu would buy a villa if he wanted.
A few people sent the guests out and went to Mengxin's villa. Wuyang turned on the computer as soon as he entered the door because he was worried about throwing away Brent oil futures, so that Xiaohui and Shuangshuang slept with each other, only Mengxin, all night, was like a vine entangled with Wuyang, and Wuyang kept holding her and sitting on a chair to watch futures. Wuyang is also used to it now, no matter which woman he is looking for, he always has a sense of guilt, and he always spoils them in every possible way.
Oil futures are still rising today, slowly rising from $84 to $87, Wuyang filled in the $88 sell order, and went to bed with Mengxin in his arms. (To be continued......)
