Speaking of jade watermelon, Zhuang Lao Huo De pondered, and his eyes immediately shone in the next second. He once served as the president of the Jade Jewelry Association, and he had some appreciation for jewelry. When recalling the classic jadeite such as jade watermelon,
So why doesn’t Mr. Zhuang know?
"Why are you asking about this?" Mr. Zhuang widened his eyes.
"Yes." Fang Heqing was also very curious and asked. "Wang Ding, why did you ask about jade watermelon for no reason? Could it be that there is jade watermelon in your jewelry store?"
Wang Ding didn't know that the two of them had such a fierce reaction, but he didn't want to hide the two elders. He said in a humble manner, "Old Zhuang, Mr. Fang, there is no jade watermelon in my jewelry store, but I bet on stones some time ago
I think this material that is extremely similar to watermelon can be made into a good pair of jade watermelons, but because I don’t know what the pair of jade watermelons from Empress Dowager Cixi looks like, I can’t find relevant information online.
So I want to ask you two."
"Oh, do you mean you have a material that looks like a watermelon? Want to restore this pair of priceless jade watermelons?" Mr. Zhuang has also seen many strange jade shapes, but he has never heard of watermelons.
However, Mr. Zhuang did not rush to ask Wang Ding to answer. The next second he pondered for two seconds and said, "I have never seen jade watermelons. I think it is not only that we have not seen, but even those who like to collect in that era
It may not be possible to see it. However, the reputation of this jade watermelon is well known in the jewelry industry. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi loved this pair of jade watermelons as if they were heart-wrenching. She usually sent someone to take care of her. Whenever she was happy, she would
Send someone to play with, and even before he dies, he is reluctant to leave the pair of watermelons and buried them together in the Dongling Mountains. Later, in the summer of 1928, the Kuomintang Chief Sun Dianying dug the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi and used the pair of watermelons.
It was stolen with other burial objects. After the pair of jade watermelons were stolen, they disappeared. Nearly a hundred years later. People were almost dead back then, and it was almost impossible to verify. Now it is circulating in the jewelry circle.
It’s all about the legend of jade watermelon. No one can be sure what the real jade watermelon looks like.”
Even the president of Zhuang Lao's collection association and the Jewelry Association did not know the information about jade watermelons, so Wang Ding was naturally disappointed. However, Wang Ding did not give up. He looked at Fang Lao who was beside him and wanted to search for some information. Fang Heqing next time
Instantly.
"Wang Ding, I am the same as Mr. Zhuang. I have never seen jade watermelons, but I think so. Since no one has ever seen jade watermelons, I think you can create this pair of jade watermelons based on some existing information.
The most important thing is not how similar the appearance of the jade watermelons is. Aren’t watermelons all round? I think how big is this jade watermelon? Is it a large northern watermelon of more than ten kilograms or a small southern watermelon, and the jade ingredients here?
The proportion is four times that of watermelon. I think Empress Dowager Cixi cannot hold a watermelon of more than 40 kilograms all day long, right? So the most important thing is that you need to know the ingredients of jade in watermelon. I heard that jade watermelon seems to be
I have been exhibited in a museum in Taipei once, and maybe my friends over there will know some information. I can ask you and provide it to you."
"That's so thankful to Mr. Fang."
"No need to thank me. I help you so much. I hope you can repay the country as soon as possible. I think if this pair of jade watermelons can be successfully made, you can become a person on the Gancheng Rich List."
A person on the list?
Wang Ding has always lacked the concept of money. After returning from a gamble on the rocks, Wang Ding can actually rank on the list of rich people in Gancheng, and even plays an important role in the entire Xijiang River.
However, when it comes to contributions, Wang Ding felt ashamed. Mr. Fang's words awakened Wang Ding that he could really do something with his current wealth.
Wang Ding's silence did not stop the two old men from discussing the value of jade watermelon.
Regarding the value of this jade watermelon, Fang Lao calculated it for Wang Ding. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Navy's annual budget was 2 million taels of silver, but in fact, it was only about 1 million taels of silver. At that time, one tael of silver was about the same.
The purchasing power of 300 yuan is equivalent to the current purchase power, and the actual annual funding of the Beiyang Navy is about 300 million yuan. When the jade watermelon was stolen, many people believed that it was worth 5 million taels of silver at that time, which was the heaviest level of the Qing Dynasty.
One of the national treasures.
It is impossible to imagine how valuable the jade watermelon is. Mr. Fang continued to explain that the Qingyi Garden, the predecessor of Qianlong’s Summer Palace, spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, was later burned by the British and French coalition forces. Kind and rebuilt the Summer Palace on the original site. According to expert research,
Five to six million taels of silver were used.
By comparing this, you will know that the value of such a large Summer Palace is almost the same as that of two jade watermelons?
As for the current RMB, Mr. Fang told Wang Ding that it was 1.5 billion!
What Mr. Fang said is reasonable and well-founded, but Mr. Zhuang had different opinions again. 15 million was the price at that time. Now the jade market has been soaring. If that pair of jade watermelons really come back to the day of auction, it will definitely be far more than this price.
Even the bronze statues in the courtyard of the Old Summer Palace are worth over 100 million yuan. Only the cultural relics lost in the Old Summer Palace are tens of thousands of yuan. In the late Qing Dynasty, those things were in the eyes of the Old Summer Palace.
It’s just some broken copper and iron. This pair of jade watermelons is the real national treasure! Mr. Zhuang firmly believes that if you break it, you can sell it for more than one billion!
Knowing the value of jade watermelon, Wang Ding cannot ignore the search for jade watermelon information and the composition of the creative team.
Undoubtedly, Wang Ding himself wants to join in the creation. Wang Ding also believes that as long as he can see the image of the jade watermelon, he can definitely complete the jade watermelon based on the painting and carving skills of the jade plaque. In addition, Wang
Ding himself, Jinlong, Liu Tiezhu, and Yue Zhencang team also joined the team of personnel for this creation.
......
Yue Zhencang sat in the office, frowned. It seemed that Wang Ding's reward for gambling stone was not so easy to get.
At this moment, Yue Zhencang, who was sad, felt that he was too comfortable when he started his business.
Last night, I worked overtime to make jade products on high-end shelves. Early this morning, Yue Zhencang was woken up by Wang Ding's phone call and asked himself to immediately implement the recruitment of the deputy general manager of the processing factory. Because jade watermelon creation is imminent, all the Yue Zhencang team is in the mood.
The designer followed him and didn't sleep all night and started working early the next morning.
However, Yue Zhencang had nothing to say, because Wang Ding's QQ was also online for 24 hours, and he led the way to stay awake all night until this morning.
Finally, Wang Ding found some information about jade watermelons from multiple channels. In the morning, the information from an old friend of Fang was passed on. Wang Dingxi got a black and white image from the sky. The image was a jade watermelon when it was exhibited in the Taipei Museum.
Photos taken by collectors.
Although the photo is not clear, Wang Ding can still see the outline of the watermelon, and the size of the watermelon can also be estimated based on the size of other objects next to it.
After receiving the information from Wang Ding fax, Yue Zhencang held a small meeting for the working group. At this time, Yue Zhencang's secretary came to Yue Zhencang's ear and whispered a sentence.
"You discuss it first, I'll go out in advance. Gubei, you will be responsible for it."
After Yue Zhencang said that, he got up and wanted to leave.
Gubei is Wangdingwang Jewelry Processing Factory, which is one of the best designers in Yue Family Shifang. Because he was promoted by Yue Zhencang, he was already the chief designer of the design team in his thirties. Gubei smiled slightly,
He 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 oldest among the designer team. In this design team, her daughter Deng Rushan is also among them. Deng Qiuping saw Yue Zhencang and her secretary walking away in a hurry and hummed, "Yue Family Shifang, no, it's the king.
Dingwang Jewelry Processing Factory has really changed. Seeing that President Yue has changed his personality, he probably received Wang Ding's orders again, and went there quickly like a mouse."
Deng Qiuping spoke without any restraint, and she was not afraid of being fired, because now she occupied half of the designer team, and her daughter and her united front, plus Zhang Shufen, who was close to her, Shao Lin, who was close to her,
It is absolutely unshakable.
Gu Bei looked straight and knocked on the table and reminded, "This is the meeting time, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the meeting."
"Haha, I just became the chief designer for a few days and started to act bureaucratically. Sister Deng, I think you are right. This Wangding Wang Jewelry Processing Factory is no longer the final word for Yue Zhencang. And you
Comrade Xiao Gu, you can’t make the chair for a few days, don’t be proud!” Zhang Shufen said,
Shao Lin and Gu Bei are companies that have been working hard. They think they have always performed well, but Yue Zhencang promoted Gu Bei, so they are jealous of Gu Bei.
Seeing Deng Qiuping and Zhang Shufen condemn him, they also joined the discussion.
"I think there is still a possibility that Mr. Yue will go out. Don't you know that our company is going to recruit a deputy general manager. Mr. Wang Ding didn't think about a person from our team at all. He would rather recruit from outside. What does this mean?
, It means that Mr. Wang doesn’t trust us at all. The chief designer is the same as us. It’s not clear if we shoot the gun and Mr. Wang will remove the so-called chief designer first.
He is simply not as good as us, and he is about to lose his job."
"Haha, yes, Xiao Shao's analysis makes sense."
"hehe."
"Shut up!"
With a bang, Gu Bei could no longer bear it and slapped the table. When he slapped the table, he stood up and looked at Shao Lin with a harsh harsh attitude.
"I said, it's a meeting now. As for whether I will be taken down, it is not something you should care about. If you don't do the serious things you should do, I will take down you before I am taken down."
Gu Bei roared, although Deng Shuping, Zhang Shufen and Shao Lin were very dissatisfied, they never dared to show their inner emotions again.
After quieting down, Gubei once again organized the ten designers present to start a discussion on jade watermelon.
On this side, Yue Zhencang hurried out not because he received any notification from Wang Ding, but because a recruiter came to apply for the recruitment after seeing the recruitment information of Wang Ding Wang Jewelry Processing Farm on the Internet.
Wang Ding was anxious about this matter. Now someone came to apply for the election. Yue Zhencang thought to take a look first. If this person is good, keep the opportunity to ask her for an interview first. If it doesn't work, then where will she get it back. It doesn’t matter where you go!
