Chapter 0307 – Catching the Duck on the Shelf
“Want me to go …… to be the TV station’s appraisal guest?”
Zhuang Rui sniffed a little dumbfounded. Speech has become stuttering, although his mental quality is good, but from childhood to adulthood, but has not been on TV once ah! When he suddenly heard this news, he thought that his ears had misheard it!
“That’s right, it’s to go to the TV station as an appraisal guest.” Old man Gu repeated Zhuang Rui’s own words.
“No, no, this is absolutely not, uncle, I entered this profession less than a year, in case something goes wrong, that’s not a disgrace to your old face!”
Zhuang Rui saw that the old man does not seem to be joking with himself, shaking his head and waving his hand, he has always been flattered by the low profile of the people, boredom and money, for the television such a headline, has always been to avoid, like in the Zhonghai injury that time, the television station asked for an interview, were Zhuang Rui refused.
The old man looked at Zhuang Rui with a smile and encouraged: “I say you’re good. You’re good, young, a little drive!”
“Elder, you’re not rushing me? I have never had the experience of appraising objects in front of people, what if I mess up?” Zhuang Rui still did not agree, this is too unreliable, let him and a group of old people to sit together to identify antiques, he can now imagine, others look at him in the eyes of what is the way.
“You don’t go to do it, never have experience, screwed up for fear of what? Old man I still often hit the eye to pay tuition now, I can afford to lose this person, you can’t?!” Ancient looked at Zhuang Rui’s lack of oil and salt, he got a little angry, and his tone went up.
“This old man, still recognizes me.”
Zhuang Rui was a bit helpless, but when his eyes saw the big red post, his eyes turned around and said, “Elder, this TV station is inviting you, it’s a bit inappropriate for me to go instead, right?”
Gu Tianfeng looked at Zhuang Rui with a smile on his face and said, “Look at that post, it has my name written on it?”
Zhuang Rui from hearing this news, has been busy to shirk, really did not look at that invitation, immediately picked up from the table, open a look. At once speechless, that invitation letter above really did not write a specific invitation to whom to go, is sent to the Jade Association, hope that they can come out of a jade appraisal expert, vigorously cooperate with the on-site treasure appraisal activities.
And this on-site treasure appreciation activities, and not held in Beijing, but Beijing TV and Shandong TV jointly organized, treasure location in the historic cultural city of Shandong Jinan, time is in the day after tomorrow.
The old man saw Zhuang Rui’s face suddenly red and white, said with a smile: “Time is not long, two days can be back and forth, the delay can not delay your things in Beijing, you that the courtyard things, I let the small cloud to help you keep an eye on the point is.”
Well, Zhuang Rui last point of excuse was also blocked by the old man, under the helpless, can only nod, said: “I go is not well, but over the teacher uncle, our jade association so many experts, how you favor to let me this hand to go ah?”
Zhuang Rui’s heart was indeed a bit puzzled. In case something goes wrong at the treasure appraisal site, this is a loss of face for the Jade Association!
Ancient looked at Zhuang Rui and said, “Xiao Zhuang, you’re the director of the Jade Association, which I recommended, and is also the youngest one in here, many things, do out achievements, always be more tough than saying out words!”
Zhuang Rui heart to this Jade Association director’s identity, is not how to value, at the moment said with a bitter face: “Uncle, I am only in the association to hang a name ah!”
“You brat, why don’t you understand what the old man means? How many more years can I work? Won’t it all be your young people’s world in the future? I’ll tell you ……”
The old man looked at Zhuang Rui with a bit of hatred, this brat usually looks very smart, how can he not even understand his own meaning? Now carefully told him up.
Zhuang Rui heard the old man’s words, is to understand over, the old man this is to help him build momentum ah! Although the Jade Association does not belong to the official institutions, but for the jade testing is in the country is a serious authority, issued by the certificate is recognized by all jewelry companies.
Domestic jade sales this piece, the annual turnover to reach tens of billions of dollars, and want to sell high prices and be recognized by consumers, you need to Jade Association under the appraisal agency’s identification certificate, which is a piece of cake, qualified to formulate rules and share the results of the people, is no more than the association of the thirty or forty directors.
Of course, there are many people who don’t care, like Song Jun and Zhuang Rui. They don’t even know which way the door of the Jade Association is open, and the power of the association is basically in the hands of a few directors and the chairman and vice-chairman.
But the old man is old, some of the activities organized by the association has been a little overwhelmed, so this is thinking of Zhuang Rui launched, as his spokesman, and so on a few years, Zhuang Rui age some more, you can logically accept their own position, but also be regarded as Zhuang Rui to help the horse and then send a ride it!
Although he understands the ancient meaning, just Zhuang Rui this heart, to the old man both grateful and some helpless, he can feel the ancient to his unreserved support, but to be honest, Zhuang Rui is really not very important to the jade association vice president of the position.
The right also means responsibility, really if you sit in that position, I’m afraid that the ensuing things will be more, this more than half a year, Zhuang Rui’s nature has become lazy a lot, let him go back to the nine to five life force to go, he thinks he will not be able to stand.
“What’s the matter, a little bit can’t see this association director’s position? You don’t like the identity of this expert?”
Gu Tianfeng, an old man, saw Zhuang Rui’s mind at a glance, and he knew that Zhuang Rui was now a wealthy man. Definitely will have this kind of idea, not only Zhuang Rui, in exchange for any person will be so, itself has hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, why bother to manage so many things ah! How to get away with how to live well.
Coupled with the fact that Zhuang Rui is not doing industry, simply do not need to bear the social responsibility, keep their own acreage, there is a jade mine behind to give financial support, Zhuang Rui really does not seem to need to do anything else.
Zhuang Rui nodded and frankly admitted it. In his feeling, the experts are all old men with a beard and a handful of gray hair, and it seems that they can’t get along with their own unmarried innocent virgins, and as for the piece of cake of the Jade Association, with his fortune he really can’t look at it very much.
Ancient didn’t get angry this time, but said in a serious tone: “Xiao Zhuang, people are herd animals, and how big a person’s future development depends entirely on how wide his vision is, you’ve gambled up several times, and you’re now considered to be rich, but can you guarantee that you’ll have good luck for the rest of your life? That is certainly not possible, so you need to enrich themselves, the Jade Association is a platform for exercise, if you can make achievements in this line of work, no matter what you do in the future, will be twice as effective. By the way, the Jade Association for the market price of jade, is able to make a guiding position, if you have the right to speak, the development of your jade mine in Xinjiang, that is also beneficial.”
The words of the old man let Zhuang Rui into contemplation, although the old man did not directly point out that he was a bit impetuous, but Zhuang Rui felt, he was a bit arrogant this time, after the hand has money, put a lot of things are not in the eyes of the eyes, but in case of the eyes in the aura disappeared, then how should I do it?
And the expert this identity, on their own is also a hundred benefits and no harm, with this identity as a cover, their future Taobao pick up leaks, betting on money, will not seem so abrupt.
After thinking about these, Zhuang Rui for the ancient master but grateful, stood up, to the old man bowed. Saying, “Elder, I understand, I’ll go to this treasure appraisal activity.”
“Oh, it’s good to think about understanding, people can’t sit on the well and watch the sky, and gemstones are not only in our China, in the future, the association will go abroad for exchanges, you can also take part in the next, like Brazilian emeralds, Sri Lankan sapphires, and South African diamonds, all of them belong to the category of gemstones, and they are worth a lot of money, and there are still a lot of things that you have to learn ah!”
“Elder Teacher, I know, about this on-site treasure appraisal, what’s the situation? Does your old man have anything to explain to me?”
For these gems that the old master said, Zhuang Rui’s heart is also full of longing, when he has the opportunity later, he must go to their origin to take a look, of course, Zhuang Rui is still running to pick up the leakage, although the moon abroad does not necessarily brighter than the domestic one, but the money earned abroad, the feeling of spending it must feel very cool.
The old man pondered for a while, said: “For the identification of hard jade, you certainly have no problem, but the soft jade is your weakness, when you want to see more and say less, see do not understand that you can not get it, the identification of jade should not be a lot, I heard that you have a study of antique appreciation, when you can also communicate with your peers.”
The words of the old man let Zhuang Rui laughed, “can’t get it” the three words are universally applicable, although only three words, that meaning is big, can understand will be this price is false, say this is to give you face, can also say that according to the literal understanding of the word, I just can’t get it, just like “Wang The word “king” is written backwards, how to say will not be shy to fall.
But listen to the old man said, Zhuang Rui heart is on this treasure activity has a few points of interest, not to mention, can see some in the antique line of seniors, that is also a good learning opportunity, Zhuang Rui for the interest of antiques, has always been greater than the jadeite jade.
“What are you kid hanging around outside the door? Come in! Sneaky.”
Elder Gu suddenly shouted at the door, and as soon as the words fell, Gu Yun pushed the door and walked in, saying, “Dad, you’re really fiery-eyed! You can find me even like this?”
“I am the Sun Monkey in the hearts of you two boys, aren’t I? Okay, don’t talk to me, you guys can talk!”
The old man was said by his son’s words crying and laughing, this kid and Zhuang Rui the same, froze to put people on the monkey to praise, simply got up and went out to tease his grandson to go.
