Lu Ming couldn't believe his ears.

It's because of this ...... Inexplicable reason?

"Well, let's just count things made of wood as fashionable, but iron as a thing, right? Jade is finally the case, right? Not to mention anything else, I now have a belt made of jade hanging outside my belt, jade sounds very high-end, but there are cheap leftovers, anyway, it is used for, used to do, make fashion, and the same is true with white resources, there is no need to use those good jade with a unit of thousands of gold at every turn, jewelry This kind of thing, the moisture is the largest, originally a jade pendant of up to 10 yuan, as long as you find something' The master's name, or go to the vegetable market to find a certificate to do a certificate of what the hell, hang 100,000 and some people who don't know how to buy it, who understands this kind of thing?

An old man downstairs in my house, his father seemed to have been a volunteer for the Olympic Games, saying that our gold medal was made of jade, and foreigners don't know how to say that it is a stone, and they always use this to black.

And seriously, no matter what jewelry you buy, everyone is buying expensive and not cheap, the genuine price has to be marked 10 yuan, people don't buy it, what the guest wants is the price tag, what you want is the certificate, what you want is to bring it and let others 'accidentally' see it and ask 'Oh, this is so beautiful, it should be very expensive' when you can answer a sentence 'Oh where is it, cheap goods, only ......' the opportunity. ”

Lu Ming took a short break, and then said, "Do you know how long it takes for a piece of jade to rise from 10 yuan to 10,000 yuan?" It's just a matter of two or three years, but this kind of thing may not be seen once in a lifetime, there is an old man in my community, more than 100 years old, people used to do jade business, he can bump into that once, said what what jade - what to say specifically, at the beginning of the car sale, a piece of jade pendant don't say 10 yuan, 1 yuan people don't have to be, and then the local area held a cultural festival, a dozen advertisements, a lot of vassal elegance or fried goods people came to the door, As soon as the price went up, it began to be sold by catties, and then it was discussed, and then everyone went to dig, and after digging for a year or two, it was said that it was afraid of damaging the environment and restricting mining, but the price rose even more fiercely, and inexplicably it rose from 10 yuan to 100,000. ”

Don't believe it, most precious metals are fried like this, and diamonds are the same, that thing is to put it bluntly...... If you can cut glass, what else can you do but cut glass?

It can be used as a microscope wafer, as a light pipe, as a precision bearing, and as a drill bit, because it is the hardest thing in nature.

So which of these industrial uses can push the price of diamonds to tens of thousands of dollars per gram?

"A diamond is eternal, a forever legacy", this sentence is said well, but remember one thing, everything in the world is fair, there will never be perfection, the harder the more brittle it is, the diamond is not afraid of grinding, there will be no scratches on it, but ...... Just take a hammer and knock it, you don't even need it, you just throw it on the ground and it breaks.

This is a very simple truth, the stone is definitely harder than rubber, but people can split bricks by hand, can break boulders on the chest, and take a look at the rubber by hand? Smash the tires with a sledgehammer and see?

Don't believe in the myth that something can be preserved "forever", even noble gases can produce chemical reactions.

In fact, in the history of mankind, one of the most successful luxury goods is - gold.

Now there are still some industrial uses for gold, mobile phones and computers, and some of the mobile phones that "can be replaced with stainless steel basins regardless of whether they can make a call or not" will be used to extract gold and silver - of course, the main function is to disassemble the machine to replace parts or renovate it and sell it as a new machine.

It is useful in modern industry, but how could there be mobile phones and computers in ancient times?

So why is gold worth? Why can it be hard currency?

Because it is beautiful to make jewelry? No, any kind of metal, as long as you put your heart into it, it will be beautiful.

Because yellow represents honor? At least not at the beginning, Xia Weimude, Shang Qing; Shang is Jinde, Shang Bai; Zhou is Huode, Shang Hong; Qin is water virtue, still black; Han wants to divide, Liu Bang in order to belittle Yingzheng - because when he became the pavilion chief, he was still the first emperor's world, and when he talked about virtue, he directly ignored the Qin Dynasty, and insisted that he was the son of Zhou Tianzi and embraced the world, still for the water virtue, Shang Hei, and later his great-grandson Liu Che, the Han Wu Emperor, felt that this was inappropriate, and Yu etiquette was inconsistent, and recognized Qin's water virtue, Tuke water, and changed the water virtue to the soil virtue, Shang Huang - using Dong Zhongshu to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism is what Emperor Wu did, and of course you have to start from yourself to implement it.

It was changed to Tude, but the dragon robe of the Han Dynasty was still mainly black.

Not only the Han Dynasty, but also the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor's dragon robe - at least the formal court clothes, worship ancestors or the last dynasty, are all black, only usually not so formal occasions will occasionally wear yellow, mainly according to the main color of their own dynasty, conform to the mandate of heaven, the Yellow Emperor is Tude, it is impossible for every dynasty to be Tude, and even if you wear yellow, it must be dark yellow, and you must not use bright yellow.

Why? "Ming" yellow "Ming" yellow, bright yellow, is the color of the Yellow Emperor's shroud, and he only wears this after he dies and is buried; Usually watching palace dramas, the Yellow Emperor is running around in bright yellow dragon robes, that is because there is no relationship between "Ming" and "Underworld" in Manchu, and people don't have this taboo.

To be honest, there is no official record of why gold has been able to speculate so much and even become the hardest currency, because money has existed longer than the history of writing.

Then the future generations can only use things such as "rare, stable, not easy to corrode, and no rust".

To be honest, these advantages, gold can be, so can silver?

Oh, more silver, less gold?

In ancient China, the silver standard was used, and foreign countries used the gold standard!

In ancient times, costume films are all about how many taels of "silver" you buy, even if you buy it with gold, it will first be converted to how much silver you are worth, how many taels of "gold" will you say?

In fact, there is only one thing that can afford the words "hard currency" with incomparable value - food, and in some places, water.

Wood can't be used, iron can't be used, Lu Ming also admitted, after all, it's heavy, but jade can't be used, he definitely doesn't believe it.

Fingertips silently replied, "Yes, at least during the closed beta, but it will only be until two months and 12 days." ”

Lu Ming listened, "What do you mean?" ”

"You don't care where I inquire, in reality, there is a jewelry brand that has been in trouble with the prosperous world, the sound is very loud, and it has united a lot of companies that do this business, and it seems to have alarmed the Ministry of Commerce, and then the result of the negotiation is that in the game, players take jewelry and jade, these things, rings, necklaces, and fashion can be, but they must not be made into things that can have a practical effect in reality, unless it is a lampshade that can be understood as an accessory ornament, and it is also required to sell at least 10,000 gold per gram;

It's okay to make it yourself for fun, but take it out for business, this is embarrassing for Shengshi, and it's basically impossible to get fashion. (To be continued.) ( Just Love)
