Chapter 1504 Buy Jade
Ning Weimin is right. This big buying trend is actually a sudden chaos. Due to the imbalance between the power of buyers and sellers and the fuel of some interested people, it will inevitably lead to extremely abnormal and violent fluctuations in the commodity market.
Although some commodities will be repaired due to the relaxation of prices, the low prices that were originally forced to suppress by planned means have been repaired, and have risen all the way.
But how most things rise, they will eventually fall.
Because ordinary people have no such judgment ability at all, they do not participate in the rush to make money.
They only buy things that are essential for life out of worry, in order to be prepared and ensure safety and stability in life.
Whether it is the chairman who cares about employees like Jiang Nianyun or the neighbors of No. 2 Courtyard of San'er Hutong, their psychology and starting point are almost the same.
It can be said that this is almost a purely natural life for leeks, and they are harvested if nothing unexpected happens.
But then again, fortunately, they have such a sensible person like Ning Weimin around them.
Of course it would be different with his guidance.
In fact, Ning Weimin's idea not only prevented everyone from stepping on the wrong side, but also showed everyone how to deal with it.
He can even let these relatives and friends reap the opposite, get the fortune of this big mess, and make a fortune.
Let’s first talk about the situation of this No. 2 courtyard of Shaner Hutong.
Ning Weimin learned from Luo Guangliang, who called him to ask for the charter. He learned that his old neighbors were crying and shouting, "I want to sell the blame as a sucker."
It turns out that just as Ning Weimin, Jiang Nianyun and Shen Cun explained the nature of this buying trend, Aunt Bian and Mi Xiaohui both called Luo Guangliang and asked him to go home to "solve the problem."
But Luo Guangliang didn't know what to do when facing this matter, so he could only ask Ning Wei to make a decision.
And this call is of course very necessary, Luo Guangliang is asking the right person.
Ning Weimin's reply to Luo Guangliang on the phone was to tell him that the old neighbors of each household should not be fooled.
Don't be afraid of price increases, it's not worth buying anything now.
I especially remind Aunt Bian that those unsold goods in stock must not be kept, and they must be sold for money quickly, and we must not keep them in our own hands.
Because now all merchants are counted as one, whether state-owned or private, they are selling junk at high prices by clearing inventory.
Now whoever buys will regret it, and whoever doesn’t sell will be stupid.
As for Aunt Mi taking advantage of everyone, Ning Weimin also felt that it was not good to let down his kindness completely.
But don’t buy too much. At most, you can buy some daily necessities and food, which is enough for the family to eat for ten days and half a month. You really don’t need anything else.
The key now is to be calm. It is not easy for everyone to save a few dollars, but don’t just mess with them easily.
Of course, Ning Weimin also expressed that he understood everyone's concerns.
I see others buying, but I don’t buy it myself, because I’m afraid that the money will be lost, right?
That doesn't matter, it's all about spending money to buy things anyway, so just buy his goods.
Just so happened that Curry had just eaten a lot of good wine and was willing to transfer it to everyone at the purchase price.
These wines can no longer be bought outside, and they can also be used to give gifts in the future.
Only by buying these things can you keep your value alive, and he can even give everyone 100% peace of mind.
What does it mean?
Even if everyone doesn’t have to rush to give him money, they don’t have to withdraw their passbooks at all, and they can still stay in the bank for interest.
If anyone wants to buy wine, just count the amount and report it to him.
If afterwards, everyone thinks that it is not worth it to exchange money for alcohol, then they will still keep the money themselves, as if there is no such thing.
If the price of wine really rises and everyone is willing to ask for wine, he will deliver the wine and ask everyone for money at that time according to the agreed price.
In this way, Luo Guangliang then brought all the words to Ning Weimin.
This worked, and the neighbors calmed down as soon as they heard it.
Because everyone knows Ning Weimin's character and knows that he can offer such conditions, he doesn't even want to make everyone's money.
If you listen to him, you will naturally not suffer any loss.
After talking about the old neighbors, let’s talk about Jiang Nianyun’s side.
When Ning Weimin heard that the old lady had four million yuan in her hand, she became scrupulous.
He felt that it wouldn't take so much money to run Yunyuan, so he also came up with an idea for Jiang Nianyun - to buy jade.
Where to buy it?
Beijing Jade Factory.
Don’t forget that Kang Shude was originally done by a jade factory.
Ning Weimin's first stone carvings and crafts were opened by the old man and asked the craftsmen in the factory to undertake the work.
Later, after Ning Wei privately opened a Tangong Restaurant, in order to add cultural atmosphere to the store, he also visited the Beijing Jade Factory many times.
He used his money to buy a lot of bionic jade from it.
What are the flowers, jade bonsai, what are the melons, fruits, jade platters, imitation seafood, and imitation food jade ornaments, which are also considered to be a major customer of a jade factory.
Later, Ning Weimin and Song Huagui were relieved by the misunderstanding. He also purchased jadeite items from jade factories many times to give to Song Huagui.
Song Huagui was even introduced to the Jade Factory soon, making him an important customer of the Jade Factory.
Then it goes without saying that both Kang Shude and Ning Weimin can understand the situation of the jade factory.
They are even more clear about what is in the inventory of jade factory.
According to Ning Weimin, there are four reasons for this idea to Jiang Nianyun.
First, the beauty of "Beijing", "Beijing work" and "fine work" is well-known both at home and abroad. It has flourished since the Yuan Dynasty and achieved unprecedented prosperity through the development of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It can be said that Beijing-made jade has long been widely recognized by overseas art connoisseurs and is well-known and is a treasure with extremely high collection value.
Especially the good things in the Beijing Jade Factory are not only "large" in quantity, but also have very high artistic standards, as well as "fine" and "beauty".
You should know that the Beijing Jade Factory not only has the masters who take the lead today, but also many rare treasures left by famous artists every year.
Unfortunately, due to the characteristics of the domestic planned economy and the long-term controls on foreign trade exports in the past, most of the products produced by jade factories have been left in Curry over the years.
Not only is the price relatively low, but it has not created much economic value so far.
In addition, in recent years, the output of precious and high-end raw stones has become less and less, and even the raw materials are continuing to rise in prices.
These fine art masterpieces left in Curry, even from the texture of the material, compare the current price and future value space, the appreciation potential is incalculable.
It can be said that it is quite suitable to buy it now.
As long as you are not impatient, you can buy it with steadfast and keep it in your hands. It will be no problem to make a hundred times more profitable in ten or twenty years.
The second is that the current situation of the mainland collection market in recent years has become increasingly important as the national gates are opening up. With the continued increase in foreign exhibitions and trade activities in the Republic, foreigners and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan continue to enter the mainland.
The special craft market, including jade, ivory carving, bone carving, enamel, cloisonné, carving, filament inlaid, silk flowers, velvet birds, material utensils, wood carving, hardwood furniture, jewelry, Chinese painting, and interior painting, has undergone great changes.
For example, calligraphy, painting and stone printing are more likely to be favored by collectors, and fewer top-quality products have led to rising prices and continuously setting new price highs.
At present, even jade products have begun to make a move in price, and they are a little uncontrollable.
So in the short term, it is also necessary to start now.
If this really goes up, it will be a few things that may happen within one or two years.
Third, from the perspective of collection, buying these jade artifacts from jade factories is not just about waiting for appreciation.
Just like Ning Weimin keeps wine, he can enjoy the benefits of appreciation and can also use it to run a restaurant.
You should know that as a foreign-related hotel, the biggest difference between Yunyuan and other foreign-related hotels in Beijing is that it is an ancient garden, and it was the richest private house in Beijing at that time.
It is not only grand and luxurious, but also rich in cultural connotations. It is not a nameless place or a vulgar place.
Therefore, when buying these jade artifacts, it can also increase the background and style of Yunyuan. I am afraid that any customer who comes to Yunyuan will be shocked by these exquisite artifacts when he sees these rich collections of jade artifacts.
Naturally, the evaluation of Yunyuan will also increase.
You should know that selling services is not the essential pursuit of Yunyuan, nor is it the unique core competitiveness of Yunyuan. Selling culture is the only way to sell culture.
Finally, Ning Weimin believed that the time is very suitable for buying things at the jade factory now.
Because everyone is scrambling things, it won’t attract attention if you buy too much.
It wasn't possible in the past.
Ning Weimin had already seen those things ready and wanted to move back to his home.
It's not possible. In the past, he wanted to buy more, but he was afraid of attracting attention. If the relevant departments were attracted to investigate his financial situation, it would be a big deal.
So for a long time, every time he went to a jade factory, he had to restrain himself and retain a certain degree of responsibility. He could only buy slowly and slowly.
But now there are no concerns about this. Anyway, the commercial market in Beijing is already in chaos. Even if they empty the jade factory, it is nothing in this situation.
I have to say that Ning Weimin's idea is too calculating.
And being able to meet his preferences immediately moved Jiang Nianyun.
You know, Jiang Nianyun was originally a daughter born in a scholarly family, and her father studied architecture.
My preference and aesthetics for artworks are all carried in the fetus.
Especially the love for jade and jade is determined by women's nature.
When he heard that Ning Weimin said the things in the jade factory so well and thought so thoughtfully in all aspects, Jiang Nianyun immediately put the food behind her and was about to go and take a look and ask Ning Weimin to arrange it.
Although Kang Shude was a little surprised by this, he did not object.
The old man thought that buying these jade wares is indeed a thing, and it is better than spending money to stock up on food.
On this hot day, thousands of tons of grain had to be fed to insects in the end, so it would be better to buy this one. So I took the initiative to make it happen, called the director of the jade factory and made an appointment for Jiang Nianyun to visit.
In this way, when I got up early the next day, even Ning Weimin and Kang Shude accompanied Jiang Nianyun to the Beijing Jade Factory.
Not to mention, as soon as I visited the warehouse, the dazzling array of jade made Jiang Nianyun dizzy.
Especially the masterpieces made by famous masters are simply wonderful.
For example, before liberation, there was a rumor among the jade arts artists in the capital.
"Beggar, Pan Bingheng, Xiao Lajiao, Liu Deying, Xiao Zhuge, Wang Datou, despicable, He Rong."
This is not a swear word, but refers to the "Four Monsters of Beiyu" in the jade shop in the capital. Each rumor reveals its own outstanding characteristics.
These four people were later absorbed into the Beijing Jade Factory, each of whom had excellent works to keep, and they were placed in the warehouse to eat dust.
Like Pan Bingheng, the leader of the "Four Monsters", this person is devoted to carving jade, and his life is irreconcilable.
In his later years, he got the nickname "Yu Tao", which shows his obsession.
His main craftsmanship was to invent the method of collecting materials.
In 1937, the lost jade wares in the Qianlong Dynasty were used to press gold and silver wires into treasures and bring them to light. This technique was later called the "gold-inlaid jade" technique.
Nowadays, his works can still be seen in the factory, such as Jade "Waiting for the Moon West Chamber", Songshi "Er Qiao Makeup" and so on.
They are all works that combine precious materials such as gems, ivory, coral, etc., beautiful, clever and gorgeous, far from what people can imagine today.
Especially a coral "Six-Armed Buddha Locking Dragon", which is Pan Bingheng's pinnacle work.
Its artistic level is far beyond the "Coral Daiyu Playing Parrot" and "Pretty Agate-inlaided Clam Buddha" collected by the Louvre Museum in Paris, France and the Philadelphia Blog Museum in the United States. These are also masterpieces made by him.
As for Liu Deying, he was praised as the master of three-dimensional flowers in his career.
His flower works have a comprehensive three-dimensional round craft, deep and shallow craftsmanship and hollow craftsmanship, which is called "kung fu when you practice craftsmanship".
You should know that most of the flower works of jade in Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties were flat and floating, and there were very few products that combined single-piece round and hollowing, and even if there were, they were just superficial and smooth.
But Liu Deying can start to innovate by improving tools and craftsmanship skills.
He is best at making coral flowers, using the shape of multiple branches. In terms of production techniques, he often uses drilling thallium or small hook thallium to connect the branches through the stems and the flip and folding of the flowers. The three layers of flowers, leaves and stems are integrated.
Although due to the limitations of tools, you can only do one side of the dense flowers and leaves (i.e., frontal).
However, because the layout is well arranged, the flowers, leaves and stems are rolled and folded in an orderly manner and varied, the work can eventually achieve the effect of three sides of the work.
The Beijing Jade Factory has not retained many works, only "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" designed and created using a coral material with thicker main branches and less dense branches.
On one side of the bottle is a blooming peony, and on the other side is a sycamore tree with tall branches and large leaves and the branches and leaves on the bottle cap are connected to the top of the bottle.
A phoenix stood beside the sycamore tree, looking down at the gorgeous peony.
On the branches of the sycamore tree, birds form pairs, spreading their wings and leaping, like a new autumn scene.
Just this thing is extremely eye-catching among the many fine products.
Because it is too vivid and vivid, all the details are perfect expressions that people cannot imagine.
No matter how you don’t have artistic cells, you have to look carefully for a while before you can take your eyes away.
There is also Wang Shusen, the third representative of the "Four Great Monsters of Beiyu", who is famous for his "flower films" and the "weird man".
Such as Bodhidharma, Jigong, Zhong Kui, and even Qu Yuan, Li Bai.
The so-called "strange" is a manifestation of Wang Shusen's creative thoughts "a perfect result".
His "weird" is unconventional and has its own form of expression.
His works can be seen in the factory include agate "Qu Zi Xing Yin", coral "Guanyin Crossing the Sea", pine stone "Han Xiangzi", etc.
In addition, Wang Shusen also has a unique agate "pretty color" technique.
The agate "Five Gooses" he created is a classic work of "unprecedented and no one to come" made of a piece of reddish white agate. It rarely appears fourteen beautiful spots.
All five geese have red crowns, white feathers, and black pupils. They are realistic in shape, vivid in shape and rich in meaning. They are like "living goose".
This is undoubtedly a "solute product" that has been sung for all ages, and its value is immeasurable. It is a metaphor for the peaceful and prosperous era of "enough food and clothing".
The representative works of his "flower films" are still in the Jingcheng Jade Factory. Gao Cui's "Dragon and Phoenix Presents the Good Luck" and "The Heavenly Girl Scatters Flowers".
The materials of these two works are rare "beautiful jade and high-quality materials".
It is comparable to the "Birthday Picture of the Immortals" he made for the National Day gift in 1979.
You know, that work was awarded the title of national treasure and was permanently collected.
As for the last one, He Rong, he specialized in crafting figures since he was a child. He mainly focused on works of Buddha statues, and also dabbled in utensils, birds and beasts.
His works, "Flying Buddha", "Flying Buddha", "Flying Buddha" and "Imitation of Tang Buddha" are all Buddha statues with a certain level.
His female characters emphasize noble and graceful emotions.
The six-centimeter coral work "Thirteen Sisters" is a model of small materials, and has achieved the ultimate effect of using art according to your aptitude.
In short, these excellent products can only be described by the four words "Oriental Treasure".
These are all creations that have reached the pinnacle and are holy objects for worship by industry insiders. There is no possibility that they will be surpassed by future generations.
Nothing else, because modern society has interfered too much, no one can spend his whole life's energy, so focused, meticulous and undistracted pursuit of art.
So when the so-called "masters" in the future are compared with these things, they are just a scumbag.
Even if Jiang Nianyun has seen such a great world, she is refreshed and excited about these masterpieces that are beyond imagination.
But to be honest, even these are just a small part of the inventory of the two jade factories.
More are those award-winning works that participated in the selection.
Like the agate color in Beijing Jade Factory, the coral color "Harmony and Blessing" of the coral color, the lotus lantern", the coral color "Bounding Pipa Roll", the blue and white jade "Flower Furnace", the coral color "Flower Bottle", the jade color "Autumn Scenery Bottle", the agate color "Happy Eyebrow", the Xiuyu color "Crane", the Phoenix Peony", the agate "Dragon and Phoenix Good Idea", the usual "One Bottle of the Eternal", the jade "Five Blessings and Joy", the lapis lazuli animal "Renewal of All Things", the jade flower bottle "Pastoral Smell", the agate color "Amitabha Buddha", the agate flower "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum", the agate color "Mirage", etc.
There are also jade "Phistor", "Lotus Kingfisher", Xiuyu "Yellow Chicken", "Peacock", "Red Phoenix Rising the Sun", jade "Pineapple", "Crane", "Ergonote Lying on Lotus", "Three Autumn Bottle", agate "Dragon Plate", "Shrimp Plate", "Crab Plate", etc.... countless.
These are still rare and superb treasures. Any one that can be found is enough to be displayed in world-class museums.
So that's a little bit.
Jiang Nianyun and Ning Weimin took such a once-in-a-lifetime loophole.
Don’t forget that even jade factories can already sell their own products from the first few years.
But the foreigners who came to visit bought small items, and almost all the large items were left in the factory without any movement.
In the original history, except for a small part of these things were later sent to overseas auctions and were bought by foreigners.
The others were the life that was finally put on hold for decades and was finally taken into the National Museum.
As for these working people, the last group of craftsmen with real skills will soon reach retirement age.
Then such a high-level creation will soon not be available again.
So this is the real last bus.
Now is the unique acquisition opportunity.
The key is that the price is cheap, it is really a historical bottom.
When Jiang Nianyun asked the staff, two Gao Cui’s “flower films” “Dragon and Phoenix Present Auspiciousness” and “The Heavenly Girl Scatters Flowers” were sold for only 15,000 yuan.
Such a low price made her unable to believe that in Hong Kong City, she could only buy a better bracelet.
In such a big treasure house, if you buy one, you can get ten or hundreds of pieces outside. Isn’t this the same as picking up money?
Well, don’t talk nonsense!
The old lady made the decision decisively and decided to follow Ning Weimin's idea.
Chapter completed!
