Chen Fan held the oily yellow stone in his hand, and his first reaction was to send it!

In the 2023 autumn auction of Xiling Seal Society, 12 pieces of Tian Huangshi were listed, and 11 pieces were auctioned, with a turnover rate of about 92%.

One of the first lots, a thin seal, weighs 53 grams, and was sold for 690,000 yuan, or about 13,000 yuan per gram.

(No. 1 "Red and Yellow" Thin Seal)

The limit price of Tian Huangshi is a piece of "Tian Huangshi carved Ruishi paperweight in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties" auctioned by collector Cao Xingcheng in 2006, and the price of a single gram is 200,000.

Even putting aside extreme circumstances such as auctions, the unit price of the best Tianhuangshi is more than 10,000 yuan all year round, and it can even be said that it is unavoidable.

How much is a gram of gold now?

Anyway, the best Tianhuangshi is dozens of times that of gold, and even if it is an ordinary color, it is several times that of gold.

The key is that Tian Huangshi is not worth money later, and it is by no means worth money by capital speculation alone, or that capital is only one of Tian Huangshi's pursuers.

As early as the Song Dynasty, this thing was a high-end luxury, and it was more valuable than gold, and in the Ming Dynasty, it became "one or two fields of yellow and three taels of gold".

By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it had risen to "one or two fields of yellow and ten taels of gold".

Then fifteen taels, twenty taels、......

How many taels do you hold in your hands?

Chen Fan took it in his hand and swiped it twice, and with his meticulous strength, he accurately measured the weight of this stone: a little more than three taels and seven dollars.

According to the standard of "one or two finished materials, two or two large materials", even if the loss after carving is removed, this stone is definitely above the "big wood" level, and it is only a little short of reaching the four taels level of "extra large wood".

No matter how big it is, it's not nothing, but the kind that can only be cut or can only be used as ornaments, but it is not as precious as this natural "seal material" with a suitable size.

In addition, the whole stone presents a rare golden yellow, uniform color, oily feel, there is no doubt that this is a piece of the best Tianhuang stone, if you meet a famous carver, the value in the future, even if it is not comparable to the 200,000 grams won by Cao Xingcheng, the unit price can definitely reach more than 100,000.

However, Chen Fan didn't plan to sell it.

The reason is very simple, because he is not short of money!

After the house is built, you can still make some extra money, but now you need a ticket to buy things, and you can't buy good things with money, so why exchange the gift given by Lu Siye for money?

When the time when banknotes can be used for their own sake, is he still afraid that he won't be able to make money?

Moreover, in this era of scarcity of materials and fixed prices, even if Tianhuangshi is still "price of gold", it is also the lowest point in the historical market, and it will only be more expensive in the future, not lower.

So not only did he not sell, but he also thought that when he had money in the future, he would buy more of these excellent goods and become a collector himself.

……

used the lake pen given by others to exchange for a treasure, Chen Fan smiled proudly and smugly.

When he put the horse in the stable and entered the courtyard of the brigade headquarters, he still had a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

Zhang Wenliang came out of the office and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw him, "Oh, this is the money you have picked up?" ”

Chen Fan smiled from ear to ear, "How do you know?" ”

Seeing him so direct, Zhang Wenliang's eyes instantly widened, "How many have you picked up?" ”

Chen Fan put the stone in his trouser pocket and said with a smile, "Picked up a suite." ”

Zhang Wenliang's face fell, "I thought you really picked up the money." ”

Don't ask, Chen Fan is definitely talking about the panda park.

didn't know that Chen Fan was talking about the Wudaokou School District house decades later.

He then pointed to the office, "They happen to be in a meeting to discuss where to open a kiln to burn bricks, and you can come over too." ”

Chen Fan pointed to the backyard, "I'll put my things down first, and I'll come over immediately." ”

Zhang Wenliang, "Okay, wait for you." ”

Chen Fan immediately ran inside.

After a while, when she arrived at the broadcasting room, Zhang Cui'e was making preparations before the broadcast, and when she turned her face when she heard the movement, her eyes immediately lit up, and she stood up with a touch of the ground, "Teacher, you're back." ”

As he spoke, he staggered to the door to greet him.

It's just a few steps.

"I'm back, there's nothing wrong with you."

Chen Fan responded with a smile, took off the backpack, and took something out of it.

Zhang Cui'e immediately shook her head and said, "Everything is going well here for me, nothing happens." ”

"That's good."

Chen Fan took out a thick stack of discs and handed it to her, "This is a souvenir for you." ”

Zhang Cui'e took it with both hands, flipped through the stack of old records, and after a while, she raised her head and grinned happily, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Chen Fan looked at her and shook his head, and said with a sigh, "You girl, you are really honest enough, a stack of old discs for public use will be sent away." ”

Zhang Cui'e looked at him puzzled, "This is very good, many of them are not available in the broadcast studio, and you can't buy them if you want to, even if they are old, they are already very good, as long as they can be released." ”

This stack of records was naturally asked for by Chen Fan in Yunhu to find help, originally thinking to see if he could use the hand-cranked record player he picked up to play, but after repairing the record player last night, he took it and tried it.

Sure enough, no.

This new style of small vinyl record, put in a big old-fashioned record player, has no reaction at all.

I couldn't help it, I couldn't use it in my hand, but fortunately I thought that there was a new record player at the radio station, so I simply brought it over.

As for saying that it was a gift to Zhang Cui'e, she just wanted to tease this little girl with a straight intestine, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously.

Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw her vibrant appearance, took out a colorful plastic headband from his bag, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "They all have this yellow warbler, and you also have a share, don't say that the teacher favors one over the other." ”

Strictly speaking, Zhang Cui'e is the first and only student he accepts, and he can barely be regarded as a great disciple of the mountain. It is very likely that she is also the only one, and even Huang Ying and the others have gifts, so naturally they will not forget her.

Seeing the beautiful headband, Zhang Cui'e's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly put down the record in her arms, turned around and took it with both hands, her eyes smiled into a slit, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Then he held the headband and touched it carefully, "It's so beautiful." ”

Chen Fan laughed twice, and finally took out four books from his bag and put them on the table next to him, "Do you see this?" ”

Zhang Cui'e immediately came back to her senses, first carefully put the headband away, then read the four books, and muttered, "Algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry? ”

She turned to look at Chen Fan and asked curiously, "This is a learning material?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "There are several big projects to be done in the brigade headquarters during this time, and when I am busy in the past few days, I will gather a group of people and teach them to learn the content in this set of materials."

Before that, you can preview it yourself, and if you don't understand something, you can ask me again when I have time. ”

After a pause, he put away the smile on his face and said with a serious face, "Remember, from today onwards, your main learning task, in addition to the language knowledge I taught you, is to learn the content of this set of books."

This set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" self-study series is divided into four categories: algebra, geometry, physics, and chemistry, a total of 17 books, you not only have to learn by yourself, but also take care of tutoring other students like the previous study class, so you must be serious, understand? ”

Zhang Cui'e nodded without hesitation, "Understood." ”

As for why she had to learn this set of materials, she didn't ask.

Since it's a learning task assigned by the teacher, do you still need to ask why?!

It's the same as the teacher arranged for her to learn English, just learn it, don't ask so much.

……

Coming out of the broadcasting room, Chen Fan walked to the front yard and took out a pack of Donghai cigarettes and scattered a few cigarettes.

Zhang Wenliang looked at him speechlessly, "Where's your filter magnolia?" Yesterday you were scattered, and today you are hidden. ”

Chen Fan poured himself a cup of overnight cans, walked to the bench by the wall and sat down, poured a big sip first, and then said with a smile, "I am here to remember your advice and be a resolute low-key person." ”

Leaning back in the chair safely, crossing Erlang's legs, "Smoke, it's nothing more than a little leaf, what magnolia, China, it's not all the same." ”

Chen Fan was just about to nod when he heard him continue, "Bring me two packs of your magnolia leaves tomorrow to see how they are different from other leaves." ”

Secretary Yang puffed out a puff of smoke and coughed several times.

He picked up the teapot and poured two sips of water, wiped his mouth, and pointed to safety with a smile before turning his head to look at Chen Fan, "Just now we were discussing where to build this brick-burning place." ”

After a pause, he said, "Another one, is whether you can build a brick and tile factory, if you can, you will be the deputy director in charge of technology, and you will be counted as an extra share of your work." And there are also benefits for brick and tile factories to share.

Or you can also bring a few apprentices out, the deputy director of the brick and tile factory is still yours, and there are benefits, just like broadcasters and veterinarians, just hang a name, and you don't have to worry about specific things. ”

Chen Fan frowned slightly and looked at the others, "You all want to build a brick factory?" ”

Xiao Liewen bit the head of the cigarette stick, frowned and said, "I want to build it, but I don't want to build it." ”

Without waiting for Chen Fan to ask, Ye Shubao next to him said, "If you want to build it, the brick and tile factory does make money, and the benefits of the brick and tile factory in the commune are very good, and the factory can make a lot of money a year, if we can build one, we will definitely make a lot of money."

I don't want to build it, because the commune already has a brick and tile factory, and if we engage in a brick and tile side business, the commune may not approve it.

The other is that the brick and tile factory consumes a lot of clay, we have no mountains and valleys in Lujiawan, and there is not too much wasteland, every cent of land is very precious, if you build a brick and tile factory, the early stage is fine, and when the wasteland is hollowed out, what should I do at that time? ”

He took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, shook his head with a smile and said, "If you want to build a brick and tile factory, you will definitely not be able to get around you, so I want to hear your opinion." If you say you won't build it, then we won't build it. ”

Chen Fan quickly shook his head when he heard this, "Don't say that, the work of the production team can't be my turn to make decisions, I'm at most a side drummer, but I don't dare to call the shots." ”

At this time, Xiao Liewen knocked on the cigarette stick and said, "Lao Ye's words are just talking in this room, you can treat it as a meeting of the brigade headquarters, treat yourself as an observer, and put forward your own ideas, as for what to decide, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Ye Shubao also nodded immediately, "Yes, that's what it means." ”

When Chen Fan heard this, his face relaxed, "It's okay." ”

Let him make a suggestion or opinion, he is quite happy, because he does not take responsibility.

Or things like running water and expanding village schools that are beneficial to everyone, and he is also willing to do this.

But if he doesn't engage in a side business in a brick and tile factory, he doesn't want to get involved at all.

Do?

Not to mention the destruction of the environment, but also to dig a lot of clay in the village, any person in the future will know that this kind of project is not to do it, Chen Fan is not a fool, can he do this job?

It's not that there are no other ways to make money.

Don't do it?

The brick and tile factory is a "high-profit" project, and when you dig up some soil and burn it, it can be turned into real money. Not to mention now, even decades later, short-sighted people are indispensable.

In their eyes, only this project can make a lot of money, who cares about environmental pollution, land mining and other things that will cause harm to future generations?

If they know that Chen Fan decided not to do this project and prevent them from "getting rich", it would be strange that they had no opinion in their hearts.

All in all, Chen Fan's principle of doing things is "I will come if there is a benefit, and you will go behind the blame".

So as soon as Ye Shubao said it just now, his first reaction was to refuse.

However, since Xiao Liewen said this, and Ye Shubao quickly agreed, he might as well share his opinion.

"I'm against it!"

Chen Fan looked at them and said, "Actually, you yourself have said that the commune may oppose it. No one can find fault with digging up the earth and burning some bricks and tiles by themselves, but if they set up a brick and tile factory, under the principle of 'the commune economy is a game of chess, and all actions are under the command', unless the commune can agree to do so, it will be a mistake. ”

Shut up when that's all said and done.

He didn't mention anything else, because this one was enough.

They didn't bother much, Secretary Yang smiled, "Actually, we also know this, that is, we are reluctant to burn bricks to make money, since Xiao Chen also said so now, then this brick factory, we will not build it." ”

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and said, "Just now we discussed two places, one is near the dirt bag where the small water tower is built, directly take the soil in the soil bag, and move it up to build the tower after burning, which is simple, convenient and direct."

The other is near the main road leading to the commune in Team 5, where there are also a few small dirt bags, and if we build the kiln there, those small dirt bags can provide a lot of soil, and this is also where we are going to build a brick and tile factory. ”

Then he shook his head and smiled, "But since it has been decided not to build a brick and tile factory, there is no need to build a kiln there, just build it directly at the small water tower." ”

Just when the others nodded in agreement, Chen Fan raised an objection again, "It's better to build the kiln in another place." ”

Zhang Wenliang looked at him puzzled, "Why?" ”

Chen Fan spread his hands, "We can't just build a small water tower in the future, right?!" ”

Hearing this, everyone understood.

Captain Zhang nodded and said, "Now only the small water tower needs to use bricks, and when we make money in the future, we will definitely have to engage in other side businesses, and there will be a lot of bricks and tiles when the time comes. ”
