Chapter 0955: Trying to Understand and Pretending to be Confused
To talk about Zhuang Rui is really ashamed, he joined the Jade Association also has a few years of time, but as a director of the Association, Zhuang Rui understanding of the Association is limited to the door to which direction to open, which is still that time to get the certificate of authenticity to go to the time, usually routinely held every year, he did not participate in the meeting.
However, Zhuang Rui from the association’s benefits are quite a lot, the last time with the jade association to participate in the Myanmar public market thing not to mention, alone “Qin Ruilin” store jade jewelry certificate, basically free from the association out.
Although said Zhuang Rui did not take the fraudulent fill, but as a director of the association, but every year is to save a lot of heart, but also spend a lot of money, which if a person does not have access, even if the money want to get these certificates, but also not an easy thing.
Zhuang Rui every year to enjoy the treatment of the Jade Association, but did not fulfill their obligations, although Zhuang Rui in the past two years in the antique line more and more high reputation, but the Jade Association, or some people began to gossip.
Especially since Zhuang Rui has basically done things that have nothing to do with jade since he had a hand in Myanmar more than two years ago, this has also made many people question Zhuang Rui’s level, and in turn, they have questions about his status as a councilor.
“Elder, I was wrong about this, I will definitely participate more in the association’s activities in the future.”
Zhuang Rui knew that old man Gu had borne a lot of gossip for him, the old man was most concerned about his face, he introduced himself into the association, because of his own cause caused others to question, the old man certainly would not be in a good mood.
“It’s not that I want you to participate in the activities of the association, but let pay more attention to a little bit of jade line, a few years ago you created a big name because of gambling on stones, but what about these two years? Haven’t heard of you appraising a single jade object again, it’s no wonder others are gossiping!”
The old man sighed, he had high expectations for Zhuang Rui, especially Zhuang Rui’s keen observation and that kind of intuition about jade, which made the old man at one time regard Zhuang Rui as his heir apparent in jade appreciation, but Zhuang Rui’s behavior in the past two years was a bit of a disappointment to the old man.
“Yeah! Zhuang Rui, in the previous years, your reputation in Myanmar was very loud, but after not participating in the public market for two years in a row, there are few people mentioning you now, I think you also need to show up more often, or else you will soon be forgotten.”
Hu Rong also echoed the words of the ancient master, this 360 lines, in fact, is a reason, and showbiz is almost the same, to make some noise from time to time, more exposure, which can maintain its status in the jungle.
Don’t look at the jade line talk about professionalism on eyesight, but some level is not high and want to be on the top of the people, but not a few, they can not find Zhuang Rui to evaluate, that the mouth is a little bit lack of morality, some people even Zhuang Rui said quite bad, and Zhuang Rui’s previous years of performance, in their eyes is just good luck.
Hu Rong also heard some rumors in these two years, but he knows that Zhuang Rui’s business is doing great, did not put his heart on the jade above, so he did not say to Zhuang Rui to hear.
“Show up? How to show up? To gamble on stones again?”
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, he is now not short of money, although the good things are not afraid of more, but gambling on stones in his opinion, is downright cheating.
This Taobao leakage salvage shipwrecks, from the hands of God to pick up objects, but to go to the stone, that is to use the aura of bullying, Zhuang Rui is afraid of aura with more retribution, the heart is really a little taboo.
So Zhuang Rui these two years is also deliberately did not go to Burma to participate in the public plate, otherwise, with his current financial strength, enough to the public plate on all the valuable jadeite raw stone a sweeping empty.
“There is no need for you to gamble on the stone, that thing luck is greater than strength, you have nothing to do when you participate in a little more association organized appraisal activities on the line.”
The old master is not really angry with Zhuang Rui, he just wants Zhuang Rui to pay more attention to jade, some of his own unique methods of jade appraisal have been passed on to Zhuang Rui, he doesn’t want to make his decades of hard work unable to be passed on.
“Elder, I know, I will definitely participate in such opportunities in the future, and won’t disgrace your old man.” Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but feel his face burn a little when he heard some of the rumors in the line that Hu Rong had mentioned.
Although Zhuang Rui had been as successful as ever in the antique line and archaeology circles in the past few years, in the jade circle, his reputation was in its twilight, and there were already few people taking about his fruitful battle the other day.
“Ancient, gambling on stones, in fact, can also see a person’s understanding of jade, from one aspect, in fact, it is also a kind of jade appraisal, Zhuang Rui you have time, but may as well go to participate in another session of the public market, I think it will make a lot of people to shut their mouths.”
Hu Rong’s words made Zhuang Rui and Gu Tianfeng froze for a moment at the same time, then remembered that this was the jadeite tycoon from Myanmar, and couldn’t help but smile.
The old master was quite agreeable to Hu Rong’s words and said with a smile, “That’s right, I’m assured that Xiao Rui is doing his job, he won’t be addicted to it, very good, there’s a chance that he can try the handle again.”
“Hey, uncle, back then it was you who advised me not to dip into this gambling stone, how come it’s the other way around now?” Zhuang Rui saw the old man’s mood improve and couldn’t help but joke.
“This is the right person to come, you two years ago in Burma public market fame, but can rush back, two years did not go to the public market, this kind of perseverance is not ordinary people can do, so I believe that you will not be addicted to it, then again, on the basis of your wealth, want to gamble a fortune, that is not easy.”
Old man Gu laughed out loud while speaking, he is the honorary advisor of the “Dimming Museum” specially hired by Zhuang Rui, for how much money Zhuang Rui has, this old man still knows a thing or two.
“Oh, that’s the old man you teach good, if not for your reminder, it is not allowed to say that this will be underpants have lost it!”
Zhuang Rui did not lose the opportunity to pat the old man’s ass, after seeing the old man in a good mood, reached out and put at the foot of the package picked up, said: “Uncle, you have two years of good health, I do not know this craft …… has not fallen ah?”
Just now when pouring tea for the old man Gu, Zhuang Rui found that the old man’s hand is still very steady, it must be that he usually pays a lot of attention to exercise, and giving the old man this piece of material to relieve his fatigue should be able to make him happy.
“Brat, I give you carved objects but a lot of ah? This bracelet jade pendant pendant, which one doesn’t have? Still want to come to trouble me ah?”
In fact, Zhuang Rui a door, Gu Tianfeng can see that he took a piece of wool, just that there will be anger in the heart, did not care to ask, now the heart is comfortable, he is also a few points of curiosity about Zhuang Rui take things.
To know, Zhuang Rui to find the number of times Gu Tianfeng, but every time to bring the jade material, can be said to be the top material, take out even if the sale of Ming material is worth a lot of money.
As the country’s premier jade masters, carving objects also depends on the material. Like the ancient master of this kind of people, if you take a crooked like material, is to give him more money, he will not move the carving knife, on the contrary, if you take a rare rare jade, is to work for nothing, the old man is also happy to do.
Zhuang Rui’s previous jade materials, whether it is that to do the pendant of the emperor green, or to do the fruit plate of the multi-colored Hetian jade chalcedony, are ancient Tianfeng decades are rare treasures, so the old man on the Zhuang Rui this time to take the material, is also some expectations.
After Zhuang Rui heard the old master’s words, he intentionally made a face of indignation and said: “Hey, uncle, if your old man says so, I won’t open this thing ah! Brother Hu is also a jadeite player, I’ll give this object to him to carve it.”
“I still don’t care about it? Old man I decades, what good material have not seen, is not more precious than the emperor green?”
The old man bristled, after this retired, often contact with the grandchildren generation, is also a bit of the character of the old child, on Zhuang Rui words is very unimpressed.
“Come on, since your old man said so, I’ll give you a look and take it away.”
Zhuang Rui said words, bad smile opened the package with a temporary find a bed sheet wrapped in layers.
The old man did not bring presbyopes, when the package opened, see is not true, but Hu Rong sitting on the side of the young ah! Forty years of age is the time of the craft, a glance at the yellow think chicken oil general jade material, immediately stood up from the chair.
“This …… this material ……”
Hu Rong at this moment also can not care what rude not rude, grab on a step will be this piece of superb yellow jadeite hold toward the door of the house, to the sunshine outside the house carefully check up.
“Zhuang Rui, go …… to the inner room to bring out my glasses.”
Although the old man did not see what this is a piece of material, but from Hu Rong’s behavior, but also feel out, this piece of bright material must be extraordinary, or else itself in the emerald origin call Hu Rong, absolutely will not be so out of sorts.
Hu Rong took advantage of Zhuang Rui into the room to take the time of the old glasses, spoke to the ancient wind said: “ancient master, you just said words still count? This piece of material is to be let to the late generation carving?”
Although not yet looked at, but such a superb yellow Fei, a hundred years may not be able to see a piece, Hu Rong does not care what respect for the elderly and young, bent on trying to fool the ancient master to say the words dead.
In the previous article had said, the famous also need good material, want to break in the jade line famous, that there should be a few can shock the industry’s masterpieces, which will allow people to recognize your status in the jungle.
But this carver and designer quite a lot, but good material is hard to find, now Hu Rong see this piece of superb yellow Fei, also is not to care about his that jadeite design master face, actually played a small trick to come.
“What did I just say? Xiao Hu, you see I’m old, just said the words will forget, alas, old, really old!”
Just let Hu Rong did not expect is that this ancient old man is like an old fox like, pressure simply not into his set, simply put on the understanding to pretend to be confused.
