Pixiu Rearing Guide

After nearly a month of preparation, the establishment of the Stone Gambling Association was a matter of course. At the celebration dinner, Li Wu proposed a trip to Pingzhou, which was approved by many committee members, and the date was decided immediately.

Before leaving, Du Ziyu thought about it, and still felt that it would be most reassuring to entrust the little wolf to Shilai.He handed the little wolf and a pack of small silver beads to Shi Lai, Shi Lai looked like a ghost, looking back and forth between Shen Shi and the little wolf, then pointed to the little wolf and asked Shen Shi: "This is your son? "

"You just treat it as it is!" Du Ziyu was amused, and he picked up the little wolf. This little boy has a good appetite recently, and he fills up every meal. He has gained weight in just over a month, with a round belly. It weighed seven or eight catties, like a piglet with bloated hair.The little wolf didn't recognize him, so Du Ziyu put it in Shi Lai's arms, and he sniffed Shi Lai's body. After a while, he pulled off Shi Lai's collar and grabbed the platinum pendant hanging around his neck.

"Hey! Ancestor!" Shi Lai hurriedly pulled back the necklace, Du Ziyu stretched out his hand and flicked the little wolf's forehead, and then warned Shi Lai: "Don't let him reach your valuables, this brat is so greedy!"

"I see... this is the little Pixiu? Why does it look like a husky..." Shi Lai poked the little wolf's belly for a while, then looked up at Shen Shi: "Is this how you changed?"

"I'm catching a plane! I'll explain to you later!" Du Ziyu patted Shilai speechlessly, and pulled Shen Shi away.

The Stone Gambling Conference in Pingzhou is also called Pingzhou Public Market. It borrows from the Burmese public market to copy the stone gambling model in China, but it is different from Myanmar, which needs to pay a guarantee of [-] euros per person when entering the venue. Pingzhou Public Market is a membership system. , only members of the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Association can participate in the bidding.Although Du Ziyu and his group had many stone betting buyers and jadeite collectors, this was the first time they participated in this kind of public offering, and they were all just waiting and watching.Therefore, Du Ziyu and Li Wu greeted the acquaintances of the Pingzhou Association in advance, and they only obtained the admission qualifications by observing and not bidding.

During the public offering period, Pingzhou can be described as full of people. The huge factory looks like a can of sardines, but it is a paradise for stone gamblers.Du Ziyu played the role of lecturer all the way, and he kept answering various questions from the accompanying committee members while introducing. When he walked to the jadeite product area, Du Ziyu was a little surprised by a back leaning over to appraise the jadeite pieces.

Isn't this Jiang Bin?

Du Ziyu was hesitating whether to go up to say hello, but Li Wu recognized the man next to Jiang Bin first: "Eh? That seems to be Qin Muzhi?"

The name Qin Muzhi sounded familiar. Du Ziyu looked at the man in Li Wu's mouth. He was tall, well-dressed, and about 35-40 years old. who?"

"Does the Tan House know?" Li Wu was talking about the single-family villas developed in the old city area. He said that this was the former residence of Tan Sitong during the Reform Movement of [-]. Unfortunately, the historical buildings were destroyed during the War of Liberation. Gimmick has developed a luxury residential area with the style of the Republic of China, and the investor in Tan Mansion is Qinchuan Group, a real estate company established and listed in Hong Kong.

It was only then that Du Ziyu remembered that the name Qin Muzhi often appeared together with Qinchuan Group in media reports, and Li Wu also revealed the answer at this time: "Qinchuan Group, which invested in the Tan Mansion, is a family business. The current director, Qin Chuan, This is Qin Muzhi's father. There have been rumors that the Qin family is fond of collecting, but I didn't expect to be interested in gambling stones?" Li Wu was gossiping, but he didn't intend to say hello, and directly bypassed the finished product area.

Du Ziyu turned his head and looked at Qin Muzhi curiously, then followed Li Wu and continued to introduce stone gambling to the committee members.

Since the committee members still have their own businesses, they had watched the Stone Gambling Conference and briefly visited the workshop the next day. Li Wu led the team back to T City, and Du Ziyu still needed to stay for a few days to deal with some factory affairs.

"Boss Du, according to your request, we are working slowly and meticulously on these materials, and almost half of the seed materials have not started!" Zhou Dahai took Du Ziyu to inspect the factory, and finally entered the office. Lao Li was holding a blueprint and comparing it to the accessories on the workbench.

"This is what I just told you. Someone asked us to do private work this morning." Zhou Dahai said, and walked to the side of the workbench, and Lao Li also handed the blueprint to Du Ziyu.

On the table is a necklace inlaid with emeralds.This jewelry has some taste. The necklace is connected by five groups of gold pieces. The largest piece in the middle is carved with a pattern of the other shore flower. The other four golden pieces in the shape of auspicious clouds are carved with patterns. It is said to be inlaid on it, like a flower branch.

Du Ziyu looked down at the drawing again, which showed in detail how the part of the other shore flower should be inlaid with the red jadeite.

"This boss is weird! We only let us inlay the middle piece, and the other places have already been finished..." Lao Li muttered: "It's quite generous, and the manual fee alone can give you three times the normal price. .”

Du Ziyu declined to comment, picked up the necklace and inspected it carefully, the design of this thing is very ancient, elegant but expensive, the emerald part has been inlaid, the blue-green color is extremely lustrous, like Gao Bing's top-quality material .

"Is this like an antique?" Du Ziyu asked while pinching a very textured gold ornament.

"A late Qing gilt jadeite necklace inlaid with filigree." Zhou Dahai said, "This boss wants to make a counterfeit."

"It's the late Qing Dynasty again..." Du Ziyu couldn't help thinking of the pair of earrings worn by the third sister, and felt that he had a fate with antiques from the late Qing Dynasty recently: "Brother Zhou, do you understand the origin of this gold-plated necklace?"

"What does he know! He knows that his wife and children are hot on the kang!" Lao Li laughed, and lit a cigarette to himself, with a somewhat ostentatious expression: "Boss Du, you have to ask me, Lao Li, about such educated matters. !” As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and began to talk about the allusion of the gilt necklace: “When it comes to jade, there are two women in history that have to be mentioned. One is Song Meiling, the first lady of the National Government. Du Yuesheng, the boss of the gangster in Shanghai, gave her a pair of twist bracelets worth over [-] million! Tsk tsk..." Lao Li shook his head, and finally talked about this necklace: "There is another woman, Cixi, everyone knows her There are a pair of emerald watermelons and a jade cabbage among the funeral objects, but I don’t know that there are twelve pieces of emerald jewelry in the unofficial history... Folks call this 'Jinling Twelve Hairpins'."

"You said this gilt necklace is one of the twelve pieces of jewelry?" Du Ziyu was stunned.

Lao Li took a puff of cigarette and nodded: "Hey, who knows what these twelve sets are? I got a piece of jade jewelry from the Qing Dynasty, and they all said it was twelve hairpins. Isn't this just to raise the price! You The one I took was also hyped up in this way, but who can tell if it is true! Let's talk about it!"

Du Ziyu nodded, at this time Shen Shi suddenly pulled him, pointed to the blue-green inlaid egg face and said: "These pieces of emeralds are too thin and worthless."

"Brother Shen, you are wrong. Don't look at this boss's counterfeit products. They are very particular about the materials! Those few pieces of emeralds, I have seen, are made of ice and blue water, and they are valuable!" Zhou Dahai endured. He kept interrupting, thinking that Shen Shi was too young and had poor eyesight.

Shen Shi didn't take it seriously, he moved closer to Du Ziyu's ear, and explained in a low voice: "I can't see inside, but I can feel it. The smell of jadeite is very weak. Either the jadeite is not good enough, or the jade material is too thin."

Shen Shi's words reminded Du Ziyu that he had already thoroughly read old Ah Wu's notes, and there was really a kind of Yongchu material recorded in it, which could show this appearance.The color of this material is very beautiful, but the water head is not enough. Only when it is artificially polished into thin slices, it will show a very moving water blue.But it is not jadeite, but a kind of jadeite produced in Guatemala that is very similar to jadeite. This kind of material has a low density and will break when pressed, so it can only be inlaid, so it is also called "egg shell". Collection value, green material will oxidize to black over time.

"Master Li, you didn't agree to take the job, did you?" Du Ziyu asked.

"Of course! Boss Du, you didn't say anything, what kind of private work are we taking on!" Old Li clicked his lips, guessing what Du Ziyu meant: "You don't plan to take on this job?"

"It's not that I can't answer, some things need to be clarified in advance." Du Ziyu thought for a while, and instructed: "Old Master Li, Brother Zhou, please help me to invite this boss here, and I will tell him in person."

"There's no need to make an appointment. The boss said he was going out to do some business, and he'll be back later..." Zhou Dahai was talking, when a young apprentice ran in and said that the big boss was here.

Behind him was a tall man who seemed to be walking with a limp. When he walked into the office, Du Ziyu was stunned. This man was none other than Qin Muzhi whom he met at the Stone Gambling Conference!

Hesitating whether to show that he knew him, Qin Muzhi greeted Du Ziyu first: "I knew Mr. Du was the boss here, so why should I spare such a big circle." Qin Muzhi's voice was very magnetic, and there was a kind of elegance in his speech Temperament, the first impression that people give people has nothing to do with being fake. He smiled at Du Ziyu and explained: "Sorry, I took the liberty. I met you at the Stone Gambling Conference yesterday. Introduce you to me It's Jiang Bin, you know him."

It turned out that Jiang Bin saw him yesterday...

Du Ziyu nodded, and wrote lightly: "I have met Mr. Jiang a few times." He motioned Qin Muzhi to sit down, nodded to Lao Li and Zhou Dahai, and the two went out first knowingly. Du Ziyu returned the necklace to him and refused. Said: "I'm sorry, Boss Qin, I can't do your job."

"Because of the price?" Qin Muzhi spoke frankly, he looked at Du Ziyu, probably because of Jiang Bin's description, his eyes were a little curious.

Du Ziyu shook his head, and said bluntly: "No, because your emerald egg noodles may all be fakes."

"Fake?" Qin Muzhi frowned, but did not rush to refute: "Tell me, how can it be fake?"

The other party didn't seem to know about it, which surprised Du Ziyu. He pointed to the emerald egg noodles, told his guess about Yong Chu's materials, and suggested: "I didn't assert that there must be a problem with the emerald, but if Boss Qin insists on If we want to process it, I have to unload the emerald egg noodles and confirm them one by one, so as not to be unclear in the future."

Qin Muzhi nodded: "Yes."

After getting the permission, Du Ziyu immediately got up and opened the door, called Lao Li in, and asked him to unload the egg noodles on the spot. Lao Li was a little confused, but after all, there were outsiders around, so he did so in order to save face for his boss.

"Be careful, don't hurt the material." Du Ziyu reminded that Lao Li is good at fine carving, and his hands are heavier than Zhou Dahai's. Soon the first egg was removed, and Lao Li picked it up with tweezers. At that time, he felt the weight No, when he turned it over again, he was stunned: "Hey! His grandma's...why is it hollowed out here?"

"Remove the others first." Du Ziyu said, and glanced at Qin Muzhi, who was frowning tightly and his face was not very good-looking.

Soon, all the egg noodles were unloaded, and without exception, they were all hollowed out Yongchu material!

"If Boss Qin doesn't mind, we can do the blue water emerald inlay again." Du Ziyu looked at Qin Muzhi. This time, Qin Muzhi's eyes showed a more obvious sense of inquiry. He knew that he had been tricked by his family. He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and then said to himself: "Jiang Bin, you know how to judge people now." After speaking, he accepted Du Ziyu's suggestion: "Then I will leave it to Mr. Du."
