Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, brothers, give a monthly pass! ——

Speaking of jade watermelon, Zhuang Lao Huo pondered, and the next second, his eyes immediately lit up, he once served as the president of the Jade Jewelry Association, and he had an appreciation for jewelry, and recalled that the jade watermelon is such a classic jadeite, Zhuang Lao didn't know how to do it.

"Why are you asking about this?" Zhuang Lao's eyes widened.

"yes." Fang Heqing was also curious and asked. "Wang Ding, why did you ask about jade watermelons for no reason, could it be that your jewelry store has jade watermelons?"

Wang Ding didn't know that the reaction of the two of them was so fierce, but he didn't want to hide the two elders, and said with a humble attitude, "Old Zhuang, Old Fang, I don't have jade watermelons in my jewelry store, but I gambled on such a very similar watermelon material some time ago, I think it can probably be made into a good pair of jade watermelons, but because I don't know what the pair of jade watermelons in the old man of the Empress Dowager Cixi looks like, and I can't find relevant information on the Internet, so I want to ask the two of you." ”

"Oh, you're saying you have a watermelon-like ingredient? Want to restore this pair of priceless jade watermelons? Zhuang Lao has also seen a lot of peculiar shapes of jadeite, but watermelon, I really haven't heard of it, but Zhuang Lao is not in a hurry to call Wang Ding to answer, the next second he pondered for two seconds, and said, "I haven't seen jade watermelon, I think not only we haven't seen it, even people who like to collect in that era may not be able to see it." However, the fame of this jade watermelon is known to everyone in the jewelry industry. Reputedly. The Empress Dowager Cixi loved this pair of jade watermelons like a heart. Usually assigned a special person to take care of it. Whenever he was happy, he sent someone to fetch it, and even before he died, he was reluctant to leave this pair of watermelons, and buried them together in Dongling. Later, in the summer of 1928, the Kuomintang Sun Dianying dug up the tomb of the Empress Dowager Cixi and stole the pair of watermelons and other burial goods. The people of that year are almost dead, and it is almost impossible to verify. Now the legends circulating in the jewelry circle are about the jade watermelon, and no one can be sure what the real jade watermelon looks like. ”

Even Zhuang Lao, the president of the collection association and the jewelry association, did not know the information about the jade watermelon, and Wang Ding was naturally disappointed. But Wang Ding didn't give up, looking at Fang Lao on the side, wanting to search for a little information, Fang Heqing said in the next second.

"Wang Ding, I'm the same as Zhuang Lao. I've never seen an emerald watermelon either, but that's what I thought it was. Since everyone has never seen a jadeite watermelon, I think you can create this pair of jadeite watermelons based on the existing information, the most important thing is not how similar the shape of the jadeite watermelons is, aren't the watermelons all round? I think how big is this jade watermelon, is it a large northern watermelon of more than ten catties, or a small southern watermelon, the jade composition here? The specific gravity of jadeite is four times that of watermelon, I think it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Cixi to hold a watermelon of more than forty catties all day long, right? So the most important thing is that you need to know the jade ingredients in the watermelon, I heard that the jade watermelon seems to have been exhibited in a museum in Taipei, maybe the friends over there will know a little bit of information, I can help you ask, provide it to you. ”

"That's too much, Xie Fang, old man."

"Don't thank me, I help you like this because I hope you will repay the country as soon as possible. I think that once this pair of jade watermelons can be successfully made, you kid can become a person on the list of Gancheng's richest people. ”

Who's on the list?

Wang Ding has never lacked the concept of money, and after returning from gambling on stones, Wang Ding can actually rank on the rich list in Gancheng, and even in the entire Xijiang River.

However, when it comes to contributions, Wang Ding is ashamed of himself. Fang Lao's words woke up Wang Ding, and his current wealth can really do something.

Wang Ding's silence did not stop the two old men from discussing the value of the jade watermelon.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the annual budget of the Beiyang Navy was 2 million taels of silver, and the actual amount that could be received was only about 1 million taels, and one tael of silver at that time was almost equivalent to the purchasing power of 300 yuan now, and the actual annual expenditure of the Beiyang Navy Division was about 300 million yuan. When the jade watermelon was stolen, many people believed that it was worth 5 million taels of silver at the time, and it was one of the most heavyweight national treasures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

I can't imagine how much value the jade watermelon is, Fang Lao continued to explain that Qianlong built the Qingyi Garden, the predecessor of the Summer Palace, and spent 10,000 taels of silver, which was later burned down by the British and French forces.

Such a comparison makes you know, a huge Summer Palace, and the value of two jade watermelons is about the same?

And the current RMB, Fang Lao told Wang Ding that it is 1.5 billion!

What Elder Fang said was reasonable and well-founded, but Elder Zhuang had a different opinion. 1.5 billion was the price at that time, now the jade market has been soaring, if the pair of jade watermelons really see the light of day auction, it is definitely far more than this price, even the courtyard of the Old Summer Palace is worth more than 100 million, only the lost cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, this grade is tens of thousands, and in the late Qing Dynasty, those things in the eyes of Lafayette are just some broken copper and iron, this pair of jade watermelons is the real national treasure! Zhuang Lao firmly believes: Broken can be sold for more than one billion!

Knowing the value of jade watermelon, Wang Ding can't ignore the search for jade watermelon information and the composition of the creative team.

Undoubtedly, Wang Ding himself wants to join the creation, Wang Ding also believes that as long as he can see the image of the jade watermelon, he will definitely be able to complete the jade watermelon perfectly according to the painting and carving skills of the jade plate. In addition to Wang Ding himself, Jin Long, Liu Tiezhu, and Yue Zhencang's team have also entered the composition of this creation

Yue Zhencang sat in the office, his brows furrowed, it seemed that Wang Ding's reward for the gambling stone was really not so easy to get.

Now. Yue Zhencang, who was sad about the case, felt that he was too comfortable when he started a business before.

Last night, I worked overtime to make jadeite goods on the high-end shelves. It's early in the morning. Yue Zhencang was woken up by Wang Ding's phone call and told himself to immediately implement the recruitment of the deputy general manager of the processing plant, because the creation of jade watermelon was imminent, and all the designers of Yue Zhencang's team followed him all night and did not sleep all night, and entered the working state early the next morning.

However, Yue Zhencang didn't have anything to say, because Wang Ding's QQ was also online 24 hours a day, and he took the lead and didn't sleep all night from last night to this morning.

Finally. Wang Ding still inquired about some jade watermelons from various channels, and in the morning, the information of Fang's old friend was transmitted, and Wang Dingxi got a black and white image from the sky, which was a photo taken by a collector when the jade watermelon was exhibited at the Taipei Museum.

Although the photo is not clear, Wang Ding can still see the outline of the watermelon, and according to the size of the other objects next to him, he can also estimate the size of the watermelon.

After receiving the information faxed by Wang Ding, Yue Zhencang held a small meeting for the working group, and at this time, Yue Zhencang's secretary came to Yue Zhencang's ear. whispered a word.

"You guys discuss it first, I'll go out a little bit beforehand. Gubei, it's up to you to take care of it here. ”

After Yue Zhencang finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave.

Gubei is Wang Dingwang Jewelry Processing Factory, that is, one of the most outstanding designers in the Yuejia Stone Workshop before, he was promoted by Yue Zhencang, and he was already the chief designer of the design team in his thirties, Gubei smiled slightly, and said politely, "Okay, Mr. Yue, you are busy, I will continue to discuss with you." ”

As soon as Yue Zhencang came out, the sound of hurried footsteps reached the ears of all the participants.

Deng Qiuping is the eldest one in the designer team, in this design team, her daughter Deng Rushan is also among them, Deng Qiuping saw Yue Zhencang and her secretary hurriedly walking away, hummed, "Yue's Shifang, no, it is Wang Dingwang Jewelry Processing Factory has really changed, see that Yue always seems to have changed a person, eighty percent of it is that he received Wang Ding's order again, and hurried over like a mouse." ”

Deng Qiuping spoke without hindrance, and she was not afraid of being fired, because now she occupies half of the country in this designer team, and her daughter and herself are united front, plus Zhang Shufen, who is close to her, and Shao Lin, who is close to her daughter, she is absolutely unshakable.

Gu Bei's face turned pale, knocked on the table and reminded, "This is the meeting time, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the meeting." ”

"Hehe, just a few days after being the chief designer, there is bureaucracy. Sister Deng, I think you are right, this Wang Dingwang jewelry processing factory is no longer his Yue Zhencang's final say. And you, Comrade Xiao Gu, the chair won't be able to be made for a few days, don't be complacent! Zhang Shufen said,

Shao Lin and Gubei are companies that have entered the front and back, and they think that their performance has always been good, but it was Yue Zhencang who promoted Gubei, so they were jealous of Gubei.

At the moment, seeing Deng Qiuping and Zhang Shufen condemning, they also joined the discussion.

"I think there is still a possibility for Mr. Yue to go out, don't you know the way, our company is going to recruit a deputy general manager. Mr. Wang Ding didn't want to come out of our team at all, and would rather recruit from outside, which means that Mr. Wang doesn't trust these people at all, and the chief designer is not the same as us. Maybe the gun shoots the first bird, and Mr. Wang will take out the so-called chief designer first, he is simply not as good as us, and he sees that his job is about to be gone. ”

"Ha Luha, yes, Xiao Shao's analysis makes sense."

"Huh."

"Shut up!"

With a snap, Gu Bei couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table, and when he slapped the table, the whole person stood up and looked at Shao Lin fiercely.

"As I said, it's a meeting now, and whether I'll be taken down or not is not something you should be concerned about. If you don't do what you are supposed to do, before I was taken down, now I will take you down. ”

Gu Bei roared, although Deng Shuping, Zhang Shufen, and Shao Lin were very dissatisfied, they no longer dared to show their inner emotions.

After calming down, Gubei once again organized the ten designers present to start a discussion on the jade watermelon.

Here, Yue Zhencang rushed out not to get any notice from Wang Ding, but an applicant came to apply after seeing the recruitment information of Wang Ding Wang Jewelry Processing Factory on the Internet.

Wang Ding was anxious about this matter, now that someone came to apply, Yue Zhencang thought about taking a look first, if this person was good, he would reserve the opportunity to call her for an interview, if not, then let her go back where she came from, it didn't matter! (To be continued......)
