Chapter 117

Yang Ming suddenly thought that Zhang Jiefang was in this business, and he might have heard of Mr. Liu's name, so he asked with an attitude of trying, "Uncle Zhang, have you heard of Liu Weishan?"

"Liu Weishan? That old gentleman you mentioned is Liu Weishan?" Zhang Jiefang said in surprise after hearing this.

"Why, is this Liu Weishan famous?" Yang Ming is not in this industry, so he has never heard of it.

"Of course, Liu Weishan is a master of jade carving, and he is also a leader in jade appreciation! He has served as an honorary consultant in many jewelry companies!" Zhang Jiefang said, "My company has invited him several times, but he is not Please move, you know, as long as you have the jade identified by his old man, the value will increase a lot in an instant!"

"So powerful!" Yang Ming was very surprised. He didn't expect that he met an expert today: "Uncle Zhang, Mr. Liu also left me a business card, so that I can ask him if I don't understand. You said I should Do you want to call him?"

"Of course we have to call. Mr. Liu rarely takes the initiative to give his contact information to others. Moreover, he doesn't like politeness. He asked you to call him, so he is willing, otherwise he would never give you a business card! After Zhang Jiefang heard this, he immediately said: "Yang Ming, this is a good opportunity, if you can worship Mr. Liu as your teacher, sooner or later you will become an upstart in the jewelry industry! "

In fact, Zhang Jiefang also has his own plans. If Yang Ming really develops a relationship with Liu Weishan and Mr. Liu, it will be of great benefit to his jewelry company!

"I see." Yang Ming nodded. Taking Mr. Liu as his teacher, Yang Ming has no such plan for the time being. He can't spend his whole life gambling on jade for a living. Now it's just an expedient way to make money, so it doesn't matter whether he can carve or appreciate. Pick out good stuff. As for who will process it and how it will be processed, Yang Ming does not want to participate.

Zhang Jiefang saw that Yang Ming didn't seem to have any intentions in this regard, and he couldn't force him. He just persuaded him, "Think about it yourself. The opportunity is rare. Many people want to worship him as a teacher but they can't find a way!"

"Maybe Mr. Liu just regards me as a studious young man, maybe he has no intention of accepting me as a disciple at all!" Yang Ming smiled.

"That's true, but if he proposes it, you'd better think about it!" Zhang Jiefang said: "Let's go, let's go out and eat something."

Zhang Bin didn't eat anything in the afternoon and was already hungry, so he was very active. On the other hand, Yang Ming and Lan Ling were not very hungry.

"By the way, Yang Ming, what happened to those two stones of yours? Could it be that you threw out some trash and were embarrassed to take them out?" Zhang Bing suddenly remembered the agreement between the two of them.

"I haven't polished it yet..." Yang Ming felt a little ashamed, he was too busy playing couple games with Lan Ling, and never thought about stones at all!

"Did you see that the stones I bet on are so good that you don't have confidence in your own two rags?" Zhang Bing boasted.

"Maybe a piece of emerald may be found!" Yang Ming smiled and said speciously.

"Emerald? By the way, what does emerald mean? Isn't it also jade?" Zhang Bin couldn't figure out the difference between the two.

"Zhang Bin, the concepts of jade and jade are easily confused. In fact, jade is indeed jade, but conversely, jade is not necessarily jade." Zhang Jiefang explained after listening to his son: "Jade is a natural mineral aggregate. The collective name of jade. There are many types of natural jade, which have different shapes due to their respective chemical composition, density, hardness, and refractive index. Therefore, natural jade is divided into jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is jadeite, produced in Myanmar. Jadeite With its unique composition and excellent texture, it has become the king of jade and is deeply loved by people. Nephrite is a natural jade with a hardness lower than that of jade. The natural jade currently produced in my country basically belongs to nephrite. The most representative It is Hetian jade produced in Xinjiang, and it is the best jade in China."

"That is to say, if we bet on stones, we may be able to bet on emeralds?" Zhang Bin was surprised.

"Yes, many jewelers in Guangdong and Hong Kong made their fortune overnight by betting on jadeite!" Zhang Jiefang said: "However, the chances of betting on jadeite in the first few years were relatively high, and stones were cheaper at that time. , A lot of it doesn’t cost much. Later, these merchants who resell rough stones learned to be smart, and the price has increased several times. If you buy a lot of jade back, even if you sell jadeite, you won’t make much money.”

"Then you still bet on jade here?" Zhang Bing was a little strange.

"Hehe, gambling on jade is just a hobby. It's harmless to play occasionally, just like buying lottery tickets. It may not matter if you spend a few hundred dollars a month, but if you want to buy hundreds of thousands, it's a bit wrong. !" Zhang Jiefang said: "This time, I mainly want to show you and get in touch with these things."

But depending on the situation, Zhang Bing has unknowingly learned a lot about this aspect, so it can be said that he has already started! Zhang Jiefang was very happy and felt that this trip was worthwhile, and he was most fortunate that he brought Yang Ming with him this trip! Because of Yang Ming's interest, Zhang Bing was interested!

Don't underestimate this entry. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. In other words, the first step of entry is the most important, as long as you enter the door, you can improve yourself in the future.

If you haven't even mastered the doorway, how can you talk about progress?

After finding an authentic Northeast restaurant, Zhang Jiefang and his party walked in. Because he has been eating Yunnan cuisine (Yunnan cuisine) for the past few days, Zhang Jiefang is a bit greedy for his hometown cuisine. It is the first time for Lan Ling to eat Northeast cuisine, so he is quite excited.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, pot-packed pork, spicy tofu, ground three delicacies served with rice. This is the kingly way of eating in the Northeast. People in the Northeast are not so willing to eat pasta, and rice is indispensable in almost every meal.

Zhang Jiefang ordered a few more Northeast-style smoked sauces, and several people let go of their stomachs and ate them. Lan Ling, on the other hand, couldn't eat too much, so she was full after eating a few mouthfuls of each dish.

"How many bosses are from the Northeast?" The restaurant boss had nothing to do, and sat at a table beside him to strike up a conversation with Yang Ming and the others.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic Northeast cuisine here!" Zhang Jiefang exclaimed.

"Of course, I'm a pure man from the Northeast, and my wife is also in charge of cooking, and he's also from the Northeast, and his craftsmanship is absolutely authentic!" the restaurant owner boasted.

"Hehe, we are still fellow villagers. We are from Songjiang City, the three northeastern provinces, which means that we are all one family in the three northeastern provinces!" Zhang Jiefang is a businessman with a bold personality, and he can talk to anyone.

"Yes, there are many customers who come here to eat, but there are not many people from the Northeast. Many people who come to Tengchong to buy goods are from the south." The restaurant owner said, "A few of you are also in the jade business?"

"I'm a jewelry maker, and I make some jade along the way. I'm making small troubles, and I can't compare with the big bosses in the south." Zhang Jiefang is telling the truth, his scale is not enough.

"Who did you get your goods from?" asked the restaurant owner.

"Wu Facai, what's the matter?" Zhang Jiefang smiled and said, "You also know about these things?"

"More or less, the batch of Wu Facai's goods came last month, and they have been picked several times. You come to pick up the leftovers. I heard from customers that Liang Jinya from the freight yard can get a batch in a few days. Good stuff, if you are interested, you can go and have a look. If you catch up early, you can pick up good stuff." The restaurant owner said.

"Liang Jinya?" Zhang Jiefang didn't come here often, so naturally he didn't know the names of other merchants.

"It's Liang Jinde, because the two front teeth are gold, so others call him Liang Jinya." The restaurant owner said with a smile: "If you want it, hold on tight, and don't make it public. There are many people staring at the sky, and only when they are almost picked by people in the later stage, can the owner of the goods go anywhere to advertise and find buyers."

Zhang Jiefang nodded after hearing this, guessing that he was recruited by Wu Facai in the same way. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, I don't come to gamble with stones often, and when they first arrive, they will definitely give them to regular customers first.

But since Liang Jinya arrived this time, Zhang Jiefang still wanted to go and have a look, but it was just to join in the fun. He is not an expert in this field, and it is useless to go early.

But Yang Ming was different. Hearing what the restaurant owner said, Yang Ming's heart moved. He didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make money easily. Because judging from his current status and nature, it is impossible to come to Yunnan often, so it is better to take advantage of this time to do more.

In this way, the biggest problem is the sale. What reason should I think of to make Zhang Jiefang not doubt it? Yang Ming couldn't help but frowned.
