"A big piece of jade?"

In the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, an old man in his early sixties listened to the report calmly, thought for a while, picked up a cowhide envelope from the table and opened it.

The envelope contained an eight-inch color photo and a letter.

The photo is naturally the huge jade in the mouth of his subordinate. From the photo, the photographer made careful preparations. On a small bracket that looks like a chair and is slightly concave in the middle, a bright red fluff cushion was placed on the bracket, and it was placed on the bracket, which was embedded in the depression of the bracket.

The emerald green tones and the Chinese red of the cushion complement each other, making them look even more green. The tiny fluff on the cushion highlights the smooth and roundness of the jade surface. When taking photos, there seemed to be a strong light on the jade, and the light shone on the jade and reflected back, forming a series of intoxicating treasure lights, which made the eyes unconsciously attracted and intoxicated.

No need to carve too much, it can be said to be a heart-wrenching treasure in itself!

In order to make people intuitively understand the size of this piece of jade, the photographer also carefully placed a ruler made of plexiglass in front of the jade. Although there is a visual deviation, a rough comparison shows that the waist diameter of the jade is about twenty centimeters, and the upper and lower diameters are at least twenty-seven or eight, or even thirty centimeters.

The old man estimated the size in his heart and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

What a big piece of jade it should be!

Such a treasure, even if he is knowledgeable, he can't help but be moved by it. Especially the bright light reflected by the jadeite by light refraction, which makes him feel a sense of heartbeat. In his subconscious, there is an urge to take it for himself.

Fortunately, his concentration was very high, and the slight impulse in his heart quickly subsided, and his eyes became calm and calm again.

"No wonder he was worried about bringing so many people here this time! You said that the jade was still in the form of a raw stone before, and it was covered with a shell on the surface, which he untied? Aren't he afraid of the hardships he brought it over, but it was a real stubborn stone?" The old man smiled faintly, put down the photo, picked up the letter and looked like it.

"This piece of jade was said to have been picked up by him when he visited the Kachin armed territory with the People's Party delegation two years ago. At that time, no one knew what he had picked up a pebble. Now he realized that it turned out to be a top-quality jadeite. It seems that he has a very clever vision of treasure recognition!" The reporter sighed with envy.

"He has been hiding silently for so many years. He can also be said to be a scheming person..." The old man put down his letter, his face was free from joy and worry. He didn't know what he was thinking, "How much is this piece of jade worth?"

"This is hard to say. According to my knowledgeable jewelers, Hong Kong and Taiwan have developed very well in the past two years, and more and more wealthy people have begun to rise. The demand for traditional jade has also increased sharply, and the price of jade has also appreciated rapidly. At present, the price of an ordinary jade pendant is roughly more than 200 Hong Kong dollars. If the jade is of good quality, it will be sold for 700 to 800 yuan." Before reporting to his leader, he also learned about jade and consulted some experts, and answered fluently.

"This piece should be considered the best, right? I can see that dozens of jade pendants are carved out of this big piece. Then isn't it worth hundreds of thousands?" The old man estimated it and said in surprise.

"More than this piece of jade is a piece of jade. I heard from experts that a piece of jade of such a large piece of jade is usually asked to carve it into a complete large craft, and the value is even more doubled. But the specific value of this piece of jade depends on what the person who bought it is planning, so the price fluctuates greatly, which is always between hundreds of thousands and one or two million, right?" The reporter did not know much, and could only roughly estimate it.

"Super! Great! The young man is so terrifying!"

The old man put on reading glasses again, looked at the letter carefully, took off his glasses, and asked, "What do you think of the request they made?"

"When Manager Xue gave me a letter, he also told Comrade Guan Fei. He said that we would like to pass the photos to jewelers in Hong Kong. First, we know more people, and those merchants will most likely give face; second, we want to use us to shock those who are ill-hearted and make them less witty, so as not to cause trouble." The reporter said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's more than these points. I think he has another idea, which is to sell things at a good price by allowing more jewelers to participate..." The old man laughed lowly, consciously seeing through Guan Fei's plan.

"This should be one of his plans."

The old man put down the letter, leaned back, leaned back on the leather chair and pondered for a while, sat up again, read the photos and letters at hand, and made a decision: "No matter how you say, they are also brothers. They are living a difficult life now. I still feel a little uncomfortable when I see my friends suffering. This time, we don't need to come forward. I will tell them to the jewelers we know, and it's nothing."

"Okay, then the matter about applying for a legal identity in Hong Kong..."

The reporter knew that after considering this matter, the External Relations Department handed over the specific disposal rights to the branch. There was no rigid regulations, and it was okay to handle it or not. While the old man was dealing with Guan Fei and his affairs, he asked for instructions.

"Wait and see, let them not be anxious." The old man hesitated for a moment and replied.

Guan Fei and the others wanted to get their legal status in Hong Kong, but he was still a little suspicious about what he wanted to do. These people are all people who used to touch guns and fought in the mountains and jungles for many years. They came here to do business or to do evil deeds. He wanted to take a look.

This is different from helping them tell them about the auction of jadeite, which is beneficial without any expenses, and does not cause trouble. Getting a legal identity requires Hong Kong residents to prove that Guan Fei and others are their relatives. Once the relationship is confirmed, something may be involved in the branch, and he must be cautious.

...

"What do you think about this?"

Ji Defu, the boss of Xiangfu Jewelry, sent off the guests and took his son Ji Xingheng back to the office, asked the servants to take away the remaining tea from the guests, and sat down on the Grand Master's chair.

"The person who came meant that a friend accidentally got a good piece of jade and wanted to bid for sale in Hong Kong. They seemed to contact the buyer on behalf of others, but they did not mean to intervene. With their words, I thought there was no problem with the way the thing came from, but I just didn't know if it was a real good piece of jade." Ji Xingheng found a place to sit down by himself, and asked someone to bring new tea, sip it, and said.

"Um!"

Ji Defu opened the envelope, pulled out the letter from it, and a photo was taken out and slipped onto the coffee table.

“Huh?”

Ji Xingheng glanced at him and quickly reached out to pick up the photo. His eyes lit up: "What a good jade! What a great jade. This green is extremely pure, like water and fat. This is the best jade! It is rare to be so big! Dad, we must get this piece of jade! Ask a famous artist to carve it, it can be used as a treasure in the store!"

"It's indeed a good jade! It's a pity that they are going to bid for the auction. This jade is so big, I'm afraid the price will not be cheap." Ji Defu had seen so many good jades, so he was calm.

"Then you have to try it, right?" Ji Xingheng was already afraid of his father before he even offered a price. He looked at the photo with eager eyes, "Dad, how much is this jade worth?"

"If the carving is done, it can be sold for more than tens of millions. But this includes the price of asking the master to take action. Generally, engravers dare not let them cut their knife. It costs tens of millions to hire famous artists alone. Including our profits and the risks in carving, this jade embryo is about two million!" Ji Defu's vision was very toxic, and he quoted his psychological price without thinking.

"Then we will bring two million... They demand cash transactions and do not accept checks or bank promissory notes." Ji Xingheng took the letter from his father and looked at it, and said.

Two million is nothing for Xiangfu Jewelry, but the cash pressure is still a bit high. The jewelry industry has not opened for three years. After three years of opening, the goods sold alone are worth tens of millions, and the liquidity of funds is not strong. Fortunately, before the Spring Festival, it was the time when the consumption capacity was the strongest. These days, the store only had millions of dollars every day, so this amount of money could still be accumulated.

On February 18, at 9:00 a.m. on the 29th day of the 2009 year, the Ji family and his son took a jade appraiser and several bodyguards from the store, and arrived at the Yautang Industrial Zone in two cars.

There is a Hong Kong branch endorsement, and it is the morning and it is 100 days, so they are not afraid of getting into evil.

When the car arrived at the bidding location designated by the other party, it was found that there were quite a few people coming today, and many of them parked in the open space outside. The driver got out and looked at it. He found that there was a warehouse inside, and the yard of the warehouse was full of cars. He had no choice but to park the car outside.

"Today, I'm afraid that all the jewelry stores in Hong Kong are here." Ji Xingheng frowned.

He calculated the number of vehicles parked, felt that the pressure increased sharply, and felt that today he might not be able to take the jade home as he wished.

"We all have to give Xinhua News Agency a face. Even if we don't plan to bid for the auction, we will make the branch people look good on their faces." Ji Defu was old and calm, calm, and said calmly, "Aheng, don't be so nervous. It doesn't matter if you can't take this piece of jade. We won't do business. If you really take it down, hire famous artists. It's not that you can find someone to design styles. You are afraid that the carving will be broken and the risks will be great. If you can take it, we will do it with all our hearts. If you don't take it, we will meet old friends."

"Dad said it!" Ji Xingheng was calm and followed his father into the warehouse that was used as a bidding venue.

There is a wooden table near the door in the warehouse, which is used as an auction table, and rows of seats are placed under it, which are full of people. Looking around, they are all acquaintances.

"Old Ji is here too? Your business is good in the New Year, I'm afraid it's a lot of money?" Seeing the father and son coming in, everyone who arrived first stood up to say hello to them.

"You're welcome, you're just a little bit. It's not as good as the store. I just passed by the store and saw that it was crowded with people. I'm afraid I'm going to have a fat New Year this year." Ji Defu bowed his hand repeatedly.

"Lao Ji, what is the origin of the jade auction today? The branch stationed in Hong Kong will greet him? Have you seen that the circle of people standing against the wall are all young men in their early twenties. They look weak, but they all have sharp eyes and delicate figures. I am afraid they are not ordinary people." An old friend pointed the strong guy standing against the wall to him.

"Look at their standing posture, it is a standard military posture, which is more upright than the British soldiers in the Shigang Military Camp. These are all soldiers!" Another friend came over and whispered.

Are they all soldier?

Ji Defu and his son looked at each other and nodded slightly. It seems that they are right today. Even if they don’t take pictures of that piece of jade, it’s good to have a good relationship. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have a good relationship, at least they won’t offend others.

Just as everyone was chatting with each other in a noisy manner and treated this place as a place of socializing, a young man strode to the stage.

This man looked about the same age as other young men, but his face was tight and his eyes were exposed. When he looked at him, he felt like he was wearing out his appearance and was straight through his heart. He stood on the stage without saying a word. The young man standing solemnly against the walls all leaned back his heels, making a snap sound, stood attentively and closed his abdomen, raised his chest and raised his head.

This unanimous and powerful behavior made everyone in the audience quiet.

"Today, I can invite all the tycoons to come and support me. I'll salute you here!" The man stood at attention and greeted everyone with a formal military salute.

It's true that he is from the domestic army!

Listening to his standard Mandarin, military appearance, and impeccable military salutes, everyone was shocked. Seeing that he didn't understand the speech, he just gave a simple salute, maybe he was from the field troops. If he didn't give him face, he would have to show his attitude to the country.

With this kind of thought, when the soldier brought jade, obviously did not understand sensationalism, nor did he know the rules of bidding, and began to announce the bid without even saying the lowest price, almost everyone raised their hands.

"One million!"

"One million and one hundred thousand!"

"One and a half million!"

...

There was no slight emotion on the field, and it immediately entered a scorching state.
