"Craft-grade jade material?" Zhang Hua asked in confusion.
"Hetian jade is classified according to color.
Red, yellow, white, green, green, ink and transitional colors of various colors.
According to the origin, there are four types: sub-material, mountain material, mountain water material and Gobi material.
Among them, sub-material is the best, followed by mountains and rivers, followed by mountain materials and Gobi materials. Of course, this statement is not absolute.
There are also good materials among mountain materials, and some giant jade materials are often mountain materials.
Anyway, as long as it’s Hetian jade, I don’t care about whether it’s good or bad, I just want it.” Zhang Junping was in a good mood and explained patiently.
"This is easy to handle. I can't say anything else. I can guarantee it when it comes to purchasing jade materials.
I have been a soldier in Xinjiang for ten years, and I am familiar with that place in southern Xinjiang!" Zhang Hua suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, his voice unconsciously getting louder.
As he said, he can't guarantee anything else, but he is professional in selling Hetian jade from Xinjiang.
It has advantages that others don’t have.
A car group transports military supplies to and from southern Xinjiang all year round.
Given Zhang Hua's background and having served as a soldier in Xinjiang for ten years, he must have the connections to transport Hetian jade out.
In fact, in the 1980s, Hetian jade was quite valuable and was one of the important mineral resources for the country to earn foreign exchange.
For example, the piece of Hetian white jade in front of you, which is larger than a goose egg, costs 5,000 yuan.
Zhang Hua asked for 5,000 yuan, but the reason Zhang Junping did not counter-offer was that in this era, 5,000 yuan was considered a fair market price.
Don't think about whether this piece of Hetian white jade will be worth fifty million in twenty years.
You know, the average monthly salary in this era is only forty-five yuan, and this is the value after many people have been averaged.
After removing the price difference between the two eras, and then removing the time value of money, it can be seen that Hetian jade in this era is really not cheap.
Of course, if you have the connections, like Zhang Hua, to get the goods directly from Hotan, it will be really cheap.
Zhang Junping never planned to go directly to Hotan to get the goods. Firstly, he did not have the connections, and secondly, it was too dangerous to travel to Xinjiang in this era.
If there is no relationship with the army, if you are destined to enter, you may not be destined to come out.
Furthermore, Zhang Junping did not intend to make a fortune by hoarding jade.
He bought jade mainly for his creative purposes and could not let down the old lady's wishes.
Therefore, Zhang Junping and Zhang Hua are a win-win situation.
A deal worth millions, and possibly worth hundreds of millions or billions in the future, was settled so simply.
"Pingzi, what else do you want? Brothers, help you get it!" Wang Shuo looked at it with envy and asked with a sneer.
Wang Shuo is a generous person, he likes to call friends, and he also likes to party, eat, drink and have fun. Most of the time, he pays for it, and he has been very nervous recently. Especially seeing Zhang Hua exchange a small stone for 5,000 yuan, even more
It's jealousy.
Five thousand yuan is enough for him to spend half a year.
"What else do you want?" Zhang Junping glanced at Wang Shuo and said with a smile: "I want wood, rosewood from Hainan, golden nanmu from Sichuan, small-leaf rosewood from India, rosewood from Vietnam, and walnut from the United States.
In addition, I also want jadeite from Myanmar. As long as you can get it, I promise to charge it at the market price!"
"You don't have anything easy to do!" Wang Shuo complained with a grimace after hearing this.
"Come on, if it's really easy to do, can I still give you an advantage?
Don’t you have many friends? Don’t just eat and drink all day long, let them all contribute, three cobblers can still stand up to Zhuge Liang!” Ye Jing said with a smile.
"You're right, Ye Zi, you have a lot of friends. I'll mobilize my friends later, I don't believe I can't get wood." Wang Shuo said fiercely.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be wood. If Brother Wang can get Maotai, I can also increase the price." Seeing Wang Shuo's angry look, Zhang Junping added with a smile and gave him a relatively easy one.
Road.
"Maotai? Pingzi, you don't drink, why are you taking Maotai?"
"You can't buy wine if you don't drink it? Can't I keep it if I buy it? I'm telling you guys, I'll add one yuan to the price of a bottle of Moutai, as much as you want!"
"That's what you said! Those pieces of wood of yours are hard to handle, but I'll get you as much Moutai as you want!" Wang Shuo asked with bright eyes.
"I said, I'll take whatever you have!" Zhang Junping nodded affirmatively.
At this time, even Ma Wei was a little moved.
In this era, you need a ticket to buy alcohol, and Maotai liquor is limited. It is difficult for ordinary people, but it does not mean that it is difficult for them.
All of these people have military backgrounds.
In times of material shortage, priority is given to supplying troops.
With a few people’s backgrounds, it’s no problem to get dozens of boxes of Maotai.
Several people chatted again, drank tea, and then went to Ye Jing's Sichuan restaurant together. In name, it was to give Zhang Junping a break, but in fact, it was just to find an excuse to drink.
Zhang Junping doesn't drink. He drinks Arctic soda that costs five cents a bottle and chats with a few people.
People from all over the world, both at home and abroad, talked about it, and after it was over, everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
The next morning, Zhang Hua and a man carrying four canvases traveled to the furniture factory.
"Brother Pingzi, please take a look at these jade materials first to see if they are suitable!" Zhang Hua said as he put the canvas bag on the table, opened it, and took out the jade materials inside.
Every piece of jade material is tightly wrapped in newspaper.
Zhang Hua took out the jade materials and opened them one by one.
Zhang Junping's painting desk is large enough, but it still has a table.
Looking at the jade materials on the table, Zhang Junping's eyes instantly lit up.
Only then did I understand that the piece of jade that Zhang Hua took out yesterday was a road trip.
These are the main dishes today.
The texture of the jade materials Zhang Hua brought was no worse or smaller than yesterday's.
Among the more than one hundred pieces of jade, there are seven or eight pieces of mutton-fat white jade alone. The largest piece is the size of an adult's palm and is more than four centimeters thick.
This piece of mutton-fat white jade does not require any carving, as long as you simply create a base, it will become an exquisite work of art.
This is a miraculous work of nature.
Zhang Junping played with and admired each piece for a long time before asking: "Brother Hua, how much do you want to pay for these jade materials?"
"Brother Pingzi, you are a cheerful person, but I don't know how to write.
Please give me a count of these one hundred and twenty pieces of jade!" Zhang Hua stretched out a finger.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Hua, for your love! Do you want foreign exchange or RMB?"
"Do you still have foreign exchange?"
"Yes, I can get you whatever you want in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, pounds, yen, rubles." Zhang Junping said with a proud smile.
"If it's convenient for Brother Hirako, you'd better give me foreign exchange, Hong Kong dollars, U.S. dollars, pounds, or Japanese yen, I can do it!
With these foreign exchanges, I will get you better jade materials next time!" Zhang Hua was not polite and directly chose foreign exchange.
In the 1980s, foreign exchange has always been relatively popular, even in Hotan.
