Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes
Chapter 120 Zigang Card, Gloomy Wood
The matter quickly subsided, and Niu Sanpang pulled Li Mo to another showcase.
"Just now your feet were heavy."
"You don't know what kind of virtue that guy is. He was the general manager of the New Century Auction House before. This person made a lot of money, and he was removed after the incident was exposed."
"So you can take over the auction house thanks to him." Li Mo said with a smile, "Then you didn't do anything to him?"
"This person is not good, but his eldest brother is not simple. He specializes in the business of rough jadeite, and his scale is quite large abroad."
"The best in the jewelry industry has business dealings with his eldest brother, and our Niu family has always wanted to share a piece of the cake, so after his incident was exposed, grandpa thought for a long time and only asked him to spit out the part that he didn't deserve. Didn't get too deep into him."
"You didn't have any problems with those few feet just now, did you?"
"No, I've wanted to beat him up a long time ago, and today I just got the chance. After this guy left the New Century Auction House, he also opened a jewelry store through his elder brother's relationship. The scale is small, but there are still some Good stuff. Alright, there are a lot of jewelry styles previewed here tonight, let's take a look together."
Li Mo followed Niu Sanpang to a few showcases, and not far away, Chen Feng and Xu Jiaxin were also exchanging jewelry experiences in high spirits.
"Young Master Li, take a look at this jadeite bracelet."
There is a pair of bracelets in the showcase in front of them, the color is dark green, crystal clear, very beautiful. There is also a price tag below, the price is 10 million.
"San Fatty, is this pair of bracelets worth ten million?"
"This is imperial green jade. The market is worth this price. This is the treasure of Wu's jewelry. Aren't you very proficient in antiques? Have you heard of the imperial green emerald worn by Lafayette Cixi?" Jade bracelet, the market value is 100 million?"
Li Mo glanced at him: "I'm not omnipotent."
"Li Shao, the profits of this jewelry industry are not low, especially the high-end series of jewelry, which are priceless. I heard that Wujia jewelry is so good because the family has a batch of good products. As long as you have a firm grasp Living with those high-end customers can make a lot of money every year.”
At this moment, several wealthy couples gathered around, and their female companions were all fascinated by the imperial green jadeite bracelets, and exclaimed from time to time.
"San Pang, let's go and see the others."
The two came to another booth, and there was a rectangular jade plaque inside, one side was carved with humanistic landscapes, and the other side was carved with poetry and prose seals.
"The craftsmanship of this Zigang brand is quite remarkable."
Li Mo took a closer look at the seal and found that the word 'Xinghai' was engraved. It turned out to be the work of Mr. Chen Xinghai, the great master of northern carving. No wonder the carving is so exquisite and superb.
"Young Master Li, you said this jade tablet is called the Zigang plaque. Could it be referring to Lu Zigang, the master carver?"
"The Zigang brand was originally the jade work of Lu Zigang, the master carver of the Ming Dynasty, but he had no heirs to inherit the techniques. It was carried forward and passed down by the disciples in the workshop. It has evolved into a brand in the Qing Dynasty."
"The biggest feature of Zigang tiles is that they carve humanistic landscapes and seals of poetry and prose at the same time. As long as this kind of carving technique is collectively referred to as Zigang tiles, only the materials used are different, and the craftsmanship of the sculptors is different. Currently, Zigang tiles are common in the market. Most of the plaques are modern products, only the Zigang plaques inherited from the Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen in museums.”
Niu Sanpang rubbed his fat chin, staring at the Zigang card, thinking about something.
"Come on, let's go to other showcases."
"Li Shao, I talked with Mr. Chen before to see if we can cooperate in investing in the jewelry industry. Now I feel more and more promising. I talked about cooperation with Mr. Wu before, mainly hoping that they can provide the source of goods. Let's first The store has been reorganized in a small way, and now apart from the auction house, what I hope most is to develop the jewelry store and make it a brand."
Li Mo shook his head, San Pang thought things too simply.
"You don't agree with me?"
Niu Sanpang followed Li Mo, and he still paid great attention to Li Mo's thoughts.
"Stable raw materials, especially high-end raw material channels, do you have? Stockpiling requires countless funds, do you have sufficient funds? Jade making requires exquisite craftsmanship, can you hire such talents? This is the most basic, lack of One must not, otherwise you will always be able to make small troubles and earn a little price difference."
Niu Sanpang twitched a few times, stretched out his hand and slapped himself lightly on the mouth, it seemed that he was really not good for business.
Li Mo walked to a special counter again, saying that it was special because there were only three people watching it, and all of them were over sixty years old. What is displayed on the counter is not jewelry and jade, but two small wooden plaques, one is inlaid with gold and the other is covered with silver. The overall design looks simple and elegant.
He became interested in this, and like the three old men, he leaned forward to watch it carefully.
"Young Master Li, what do you say about these two pieces of wood?"
Niu Sanpang couldn't see any tricks, so he let Li Mo talk about it, and he listened and learned.
"These are two pieces of gloomy wood. If you look carefully at their surface texture and luster, they have the elegance of wood and the charm of stone. Gloomy wood is called the oriental god wood, and it is also called the mummy of plants. There have been gloomy woods in the past dynasties. Carved into amulets, Buddha statues, handicrafts, etc., it is useful to ward off evil spirits."
"In the past, gloomy wood was also called ebony, so the ancients said: Half a square of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures."
"There seems to be a fundamental reason for the success of Wu's jewelry. They have redefined jewelry, and even incorporated this gloomy wood element into jewelry design. San Fat, if you really want to enter the jewelry industry, you must Take the time to learn, or you might as well not do it.”
Niu Sanpang was hit hard immediately.
"Li Shao, do you want to buy a share this time? If you participate, at least you won't lose money. If you don't participate, I'm so uncertain."
"I don't have a lot of spare money right now, so I'll talk about it after the autumn auction. Sanpang, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to open a restaurant with me?"
Niu Sanpang's eyes lit up immediately, thank God, this kid finally figured it out.
"You can discuss this matter first, and we will work it out later to see how to operate it."
"Okay, I'll do the early things first."
Niu Sanpang smiled a little more on his face, as long as Li Mo participated in the matter, he felt that it could be done, and he had a considerable trust in him.
Next, the two walked around all the showcases. Each showcase was unique, creative, and high-quality.
Chen Feng and the others met Li Mo, and the two girls chatted a little excitedly, their immunity to jewelry was too low.
"Young Master Li, the next step is to make a reservation. If you have a style you like, you can make a reservation."
"Boss, do you have a fancy style?"
Li Mo thought for a while and said, "The gloomy wood inlaid with gold and silver is okay, but the others are not too impressive."
Chen Feng sighed lightly and said, "Boss, your vision is always so different."
Li Mo smiled and said: "Actually, I want to find an antique jewelry for each of you if I have a chance in the future. Last time I found a gold 'Erlong Xizhu' at the Liulichang Antique Festival." The silver inlaid bracelet is an imperial product of the Qing Dynasty, and it is now worn on my mother's wrist."
"Boss, we have all remembered what you said just now."
Chen Feng's eyes glowed, no wonder when he saw the bracelet on Shiyi's wrist in Chen's old house, he thought it was not simple, it turned out that it was rumored from the palace.
