Chapter 8 The City of Colored Jade
"Xiaoshan, what are you looking for this kid?" Ma Ting shook his head and grunted grumblingly.
During the meal, Wushan replaced the wine with tea and toasted Zheng Yutong's eldest son Zheng Jiachun.
The people of Hong Kong Island are still British colonies, so their culture is rich and diverse.
In the mainland, the food culture of the people at the dinner table is closely related to the wine culture.
And with Hong Kong Island people, it may be more often to drink kung fu tea.
In the afternoon, I had to continue to discuss, and there was no wine at noon, so it was very troublesome to prepare wine.
For example, Ma Tingqiang, I guess it's very refreshing to drink a little burn.
Others, like it or not, would pick up the red wine and shake it slowly, looking at it like ink.
"How much do you know about the Cheng family on Hong Kong Island?" Wu Shan's eyes were still staring at Shaodong of Daifuku Jewelry, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Isn't it just Daifuku jewelry?" Ma Tingqiang disagreed, and patted the back of his head again: "By the way, there is also a construction company, what is it called." ”
This guy, Wushan couldn't help laughing.
Of course, Brother Qiang is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to choose the Ma family to cooperate on Hong Kong Island at the beginning.
It's one thing for them to be rich, but the Ma family lacks the sophistication of the ordinary Hong Kong Island family, which is what Wushan values the most.
And construction companies? He didn't care, it was impossible for Oulothai's building to be handed over to the Zheng family.
Don't talk about the Zheng family, even the He family and the Li family, it is impossible for Wushan to share a little profit.
Yan Huang, after all, is the Yan Huang of the Wu family. Nominally, the Wu family has withdrawn from Yanhuang.
Merely. Everyone who understands knows that it's just that the company's executives have pushed to the society, and all the company's assets are firmly in the hands of the Wu family.
"You're right!" Wu Shan finished the lamb chops in his mouth. picked up another piece of beef: "What I want to discuss with you in the afternoon is the piece of jewelry!" ”
The collection culture and historical origin of Ouluotai's strange stones, gemstones, and Ehe colored jade should first mention the rich natural resources of Oulothai.
It is precisely because of the wealth of this land that people living here can enjoy the vast and local characteristics of the strange stone culture, attracting merchants and collectors from all over the country to explore treasures and hunt for curiosities.
Ouluotai is one of the six major prospecting areas in the country and a key non-ferrous metal development belt in Victoria Province, where there are many varieties of mineral resources, abundant reserves and broad prospects for mining development.
In the process of in-depth development of various minerals. Oulothai reaped another fortune - a large number of strange stones, ore marks, and precious stones......
The continuous emergence of colored jade and strange stones provides rich collection resources for the majority of collectors.
This is something that people in many regions cannot enjoy.
Thanks to the generosity of nature, people here have been dealing with various minerals for a long time.
Many people are engaged in mineral development, geological exploration, jewelry processing, electric power, road construction, etc. will deal with field work.
Therefore, these practitioners have the opportunity to come into contact with all kinds of treasures.
The main inhabitants of the Olothai region are Kazakhs, and the herders who have been nomadic in the mountain pastures are more familiar with the Gobi desert of Olothai.
During the long migration, they were on the roads and streams in the Gobi Mountains. The landform, climate, and products of each place are well understood.
These are the folk soil that can give birth to the collecting culture of Oulothai.
There is a mass base. Only then can the collection industry continue to develop and enrich, and all kinds of strange stones, gemstones, fossils, meteorites, Ehe colored jade, root carvings, ore standards, petrified wood and other collectibles have gradually entered ordinary people's homes.
It is well known that Eurotec was first known for producing gold.
In order to investigate and punish illegal gold miners, there is now a special anti-smuggling team here.
Some people who have worked in state-owned gem companies and geological teams have started their own businesses and set up small gem processing workshops after the reform and opening up.
At the same time, some people began to engage in the gem trade, collecting all kinds of gemstones.
Today, the standard of living of the people of Oulothai is generally not high. However, at that time, many workers were employed in the gem processing shop to polish the stones.
The monthly salary of a grinder is about 100 yuan ~ 200 yuan, which is a high salary at present. And women are the main force of the grinders.
During this period, people mostly collected mineral gems such as gold, sea blue, and tourmaline.
The purchase of raw materials is relatively cheap, and some people with brains began to sell their processed gemstones to large gemstone companies in the mainland, and then through long-term customer relationships, they gradually established contacts with overseas customers, and sold gems to Sam's, Southeast Asia and other places.
If you grasp the market, you will get more profits.
It goes without saying that collecting is a money-spending business, and it is during this period that many people began to accumulate capital to make a fortune.
Later, many of the stones used to press the mouth of the jar when pickling pickles in the early years began to arouse interest. They have become the metamorphic rock, Chinese painting stone, picture stone, birthmark stone, gold edge stone, silver edge stone that people will collect in the future......
The purpose of Wushan is to establish the Strange Stone Association in Oulothai.
Subsequently, all counties (cities) have established strange stone associations, and all places have relatively concentrated strange stone sales places, which will greatly promote the development of the collection industry.
Perhaps there are many people who gradually make a living from this, constantly using their brains and finding ways to develop the strange stone market.
The scale of the strange stone trade continued to expand, the rudiments of the stone economy began to unfold, and the variety of collectibles continued to increase.
It is believed that the collection of strange stones has also developed rapidly driven by regional tourism.
In the future, I believe that everyone in Oulothai will feel that many people around them have begun to collect stones.
Most people can tell a few stories related to stones, and many owners of Kaiqi stone shops claim to have opened mines for more than ten years, and so on.
Whether the words of these merchants are true or not, they can make people feel the characteristics of Oulothai's strange stone culture, and it also shows that Oulothai has nurtured and developed its own collecting culture.
In Ouluotai, whether it is a cadre working in a government department or an employee working in a bank or a company, there are always a few stones in the office to ask. It's all a personal hobby.
These stones are placed on windowsills, desks, filing cabinets, corners, behind doors, and even in shoeboxes......
In another plane. In the age of the Internet, the Olotai people are also selling their collections online.
Collectors post images online and wait for buyers to come to their door.
It is normal for a stone to sell for tens of thousands of yuan, and it is not uncommon for an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.
And the hot sale of Ouluotai Ehe colored jade, Wushan is to let it form a trend.
As for the appearance of gemstone light, and the continuous rise in price. It will set off a climax of buying and selling in less than a few years.
In addition to strange stones, gemstones, Ehe colored jade, root carving, mineral standards, petrified wood...... In addition to these common collections, the Olotai also collected fossils, meteorites, meteorites, and burial goods from ancient tombs, including arrowheads from ancient battlefields, iron products, and ...... A little more out of the way. Some people collect things such as Tai Sui and Donkey Treasure.
With the continuous improvement of living standards, going out to participate in exhibitions and traveling has become the normal work and life of many Ouluotai people, and there is more information to exchange with the outside world, and the collection market will become increasingly prosperous.
In addition, there is the interconnection of television, newspapers, the Internet and other media. The Olothai region is the same as the whole country. Almost synchronously, it has reached the point of national collection.
In addition to various strange stones and jewelry fairs in the mainland, the organizers bring stones to Hong Kong Island every year to participate in jewelry exhibitions in the world.
At the moment, large pieces of yellow stone are especially selling well in the city of Oulothai.
Strange Stone City, located in the Tuanjie Road market, sells a lot of yellow stones almost every day. And every day at the entrance of the market, different vehicles laden with yellow stones come to sell.
"Little sir, Ouluotai actually has such abundant resources?" The others listened to Wushan's narration and were a little drowsy. Who is Zheng Jiachun? Daifuku Jewelry's Shaodong!
If you want to say that the people here are most interested in colored jade and strange stones, it is undoubtedly Zheng Jiachun!
Resource? Young people one by one. Even if you don't know anything about jewelry, colored jade, strange stones, etc., you are too sensitive to resources.
Nima. Resources mean a lot of money.
You don't see it on the Indochina Peninsula, those Hong Kong Islanders and Baodao people who followed Yan Huang in the first place, because of the jade industry, are very rich.
Yan Huang also stepped in at the beginning, and later transferred this piece to Zheng Yutong.
Whether it is Wushan or Wu Liquan, they don't know anything about the jewelry industry itself.
Even if some managers are poached from other jewelry companies with high salaries, the real elite is still in the hands of jewelry tycoons.
When it comes to talent, there's no one who doesn't value it.
Of course, there are also people on Hong Kong Island who don't think much about talents, that is, Uncle Six.
Seeing that Yan Huang's side was thriving, the sixth uncle and his old man even regretted their intestines, and they had already strengthened the control box binding on talents.
"Little sir, do you mean to say that jewels, oh no, jades and strange stones are already in their infancy in Oulota?" He Zhenting frowned.
"This is the mainland, not Hong Kong Island!" Wu Shan replied to the question.
The implication is that on Hong Kong Island or in other countries, an industry may be a sheep-herding development.
When the big fish eat the small fish, and the market is reshuffled, it will gradually get on the right track.
If there is a catastrophe in an industry, the government will also come to the rescue.
On the mainland, all resources are state.
Wu Shan is currently the commissioner of the Oulothai Regional Administration, so he is naturally qualified to say this.
A plate of loose sand is not big in itself, otherwise where to describe the prospect just now?
The state of fragmentation is not suitable for the development of one industry, and because of unprotected and indiscriminate mining, it will cause a devastating blow to the ecology of Oulothai itself, which is already on the verge of danger.
"Little sir, you mean that we want to integrate the resources here, right?" Li Zeju immediately understood.
Wu Shan nodded: "The current chaos is rising, and it is not formalized at the beginning, and it will be out of control after a while." ”
"Our Zhang family must cooperate well with the Ouluotai region!" Shaodong, a middle-class family, hurriedly answered.
Because of the jadeite in Indochina, many families are engaged in the jewelry industry.
Although Daifuku Jewelry is the leader, it no longer has the power of a single family in another time and space.
One by one, Shaodong's eyebrows danced and expressed their attitudes.
"It's still the same as animal husbandry," Wu Shan said: "Organize at most four or five companies and set your own direction." ”
His goal is to turn Oulothai into the jade capital of China and even the whole world! (To be continued......)
