Chapter 525 I Want It All

Zhou Guohui was short of breath. Which family is this young man surnamed Fang a descendant of a wealthy family? In just a few words, it has already become a business worth tens of millions of dollars.

Surname Fang?The Fang family in Kowloon that does oil business?But the age is wrong. The Fang family only has two sons, both of whom are in their thirties, and their grandsons are all under ten years old.

Or is it the Fang family of the Hong Kong insurance industry?But the age is about the same, but Mr. Fang has always been strict with his children and grandchildren. If he spends so much money on famous watches, can Mr. Fang call him out of his house or the Fang family in Macau that is in the hotel business?

At this moment, Zhou Guohui had already turned his mind several times. He had screened the situation of several companies surnamed Fang in the Hong Kong business circle, but no one could match up with the young man in front of him.Zhou Guohui took the check with both hands and glanced at it. It was indeed a Swiss bank check payable at sight.

"Fang Shao, at least half a month, at least three to five days, Vacheron Constantin should be able to have a result. But, how can I contact you?" Zhou Guohui was a little more polite than before.Naturally, such a big client should be treated respectfully.

Fang Mingyuan left his phone number and address. Zhou Guohui read it twice, and said in surprise, "Does Young Master Fang live in the home of Mr. Guo of Guo's Shipping Group Company?" There was an address on it, but he knew it. Mr. Guo's residence.

"Yes, I'm not from Hong Kong. I'm from the Mainland. I have an old relationship with Mr. Guo, so I'm staying at Mr. Guo's house in Hong Kong." Fang Mingyuan nodded casually.

"You are from the mainland." Zhou Guohui was taken aback. Fang Mingyuan spoke Cantonese well, but he really didn't catch it.However, knowing that Fang Mingyuan lived in the Guo family, Zhou Guohui felt more at ease. The Guo family and the Zheng Yutong Zheng family, the major shareholder of Chow Tai Fook, were also old friends, and the two families had close contacts.Since Fang Mingyuan can live in the Guo family, he must be a trusted friend of the Guo family.

Next, Fang Mingyuan selected several new and dignified Vacheron Constantin watches. These were all to be brought back to the country as gifts. As for the custom-made watches, Fang Mingyuan would not be able to get them for a year or two.Vacheron Constantin pays attention to excellence in watchmaking, so the speed is naturally slow.

"I am very happy with my shopping today. Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co. really deserves its reputation." Fang Mingyuan stood up and said with a smile, "The market in the mainland is vast. I hope that one day I can see your shop in the mainland."

"Thank you Fang Shaoji, thank you Fang Shaoji." Zhou Guohui, who opened the door for Fang Mingyuan, laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

The two came out of the quiet room, and before they had taken a few steps, they saw a waiter running over in a panic and said, "Mr. Zhou, guest, your partner got into an argument with someone at the jewelry counter."

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately quickened his pace.The jewelry counter, of course, is Lin Lian and the others.Zhou Guohui also quickened his pace and followed behind Fang Mingyuan.Fang Bin, who was looking at his watch at the counter on the other side, noticed this side and quickly followed.

At this time, many people had already gathered in front of the jewelry counter of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Shop.

I only heard a woman in the crowd say: "Shopkeeper, I want this piece of jade."

Then I heard Zhao Ya's voice: "Obviously we saw it first, so why sell it to you?"

"You man, do you understand what it means to come first and arrive later?" Lin Lian was also dissatisfied.

"After looking at it for a long time, I still can't decide whether to buy it or not. If you don't have money, don't come to this kind of embarrassing place." The woman said sharply, "You still waste other people's time." The voice sounded familiar.

Fang Mingyuan took three steps and made two steps, squeezed into the crowd, Zhou Guohui was right behind him, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Mr. Zhou is here!"

In the crowd, Zhao Ya's three daughters and two men and a woman were confronting each other. The woman holding a small jade piece in her hand was the young woman I met at the entrance of the premiere theater that day.

"Sister Lian, what happened?" Fang Mingyuan asked in a deep voice.

"Mingyuan, we took a fancy to a piece of jade. Xiaoya and Qianqian were discussing it, and this woman snatched the jade piece from Xiaoya's hand." Seeing Fang Mingyuan's arrival, Lin Lian said angrily, " Why is she so impolite?"

The woman who snatched the jade piece was Tong Tong who "followed" them. That day at the entrance of the theater, because of Cheng Long's sudden appearance, Fang Mingyuan and the others "escaped" without apologizing, which made Tong Tong very upset. Satisfied, so seeing Fang Mingyuan and the others on the street today, Tong Tong immediately followed.

Lin Lian and the others chose a Guanyin Bodhisattva pendant carved from Hetian sheep fat jade in the store, but Tong Tong snatched it on the spot.

Hetian jade is a unique resource in the Huaxia Jade Garden. The jade articles in the Chinese civilization can be said to be represented by the characteristics of Hetian jade.Jade has "five virtues", and it is about Hetian jade. "Warm and lustrous", "meticulous with chestnuts", "the sound of knocking is clearer and longer, and the end is fine and smooth", "the flaws do not conceal the beauty, and the beauty does not conceal the leisure" are the characteristics of Hetian jade, which have always been praised by people. Yearning, hobbies, and pursuits have almost reached the level of mystery and obsession.

And suet jade is a fine product of Hetian jade. It is named because its color resembles suet. The texture is delicate and 'white as cut fat', giving people a feeling of softness in the hardness. This is the best white jade. At present, only Xinjiang has this variety in the world, and its output is very rare and extremely valuable. Therefore, among jade collectors, there is a saying that "one or two jades, one or two gold".Such a rare human treasure, with the difficulty and scarcity of collection.For collectors, one piece of jade that is obtained is shelved as an appreciation and accumulation of wealth, or passed on to future generations or maintained and appreciated.

Tong Tong, who originally just wanted to make trouble, took a few glances at the pendant and admired it endlessly. He opened his mouth to buy it, and Zhao Ya and the others, who got it first, were naturally unwilling.So the two sides quarreled.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, this is a distinguished customer from the inland capital city. He is interested in this jade piece in your store. I will charge the money to my account and let someone in your store wrap it up." Li Zhiwei said loudly when he saw Zhou Guohui .It's just that his pair of steadfast eyes never left Lin Lian and the third daughter.

When Zhou Guohui saw that it was him, his heart skipped a beat. Li Zhiwei's reputation in the Hong Kong business circle was not very good, he could be regarded as a playboy, he especially liked female sex, although his assets could not cover a star, but those half A starlet who is popular or not, but she often looks like him in scandals with him, she must be thinking about Lin Lian and the others.But when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but laugh again. Fang Mingyuan can live in Mr. Guo's mansion, but he can still be afraid of him. His worries are unfounded

"It turned out that the third young master from Changhong Commercial Group Co., Ltd. arrived, but the old man couldn't go far to greet him. Forgive me." Zhou Guohui laughed quickly.There was a low cry from the crowd of onlookers.

Li Zhiwei looked around proudly, and of course the focus of his eyes was on Lin Lian and the others.As for Fang Mingyuan and Fang Bin, he didn't pay much attention to them at all.

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly to Zhou Guohui to express his gratitude. The old man was afraid that he would not know the identity of the other party, so he reminded himself.

"Okay, shopkeeper Zhou, I'm running out of time here, hurry up and pack that jade piece for us." Li Zhiwei repeated.

Zhou Guohui frowned, took the jade piece from the salesperson's hand, looked at it a few times, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any more in Curry?"

The salesperson shook his head, and Zhou Guohui nodded slightly. This result did not surprise him. There are only a few pieces of jewelry in Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop, and they are even unique. After all, this is a high-end jewelry store. , it is impossible to display mass-produced goods like street shops.But now it is difficult for him. Of course Li Zhiwei doesn't want to offend him, but Fang Mingyuan has no reason to offend him. Even if he is from the background of a friend of the Guo family, he can't offend the big business deal just now. .

Zhou Guohui pondered for a moment and said: "Third Young Master, I'm really sorry, it was indeed these ladies who saw the jade piece first, I must ask their opinions first, if these ladies don't buy it, I'll wrap it up for you, what an offense, today I'll give you a [-]% discount on all jewelry in this store..."

Li Zhiwei's eyes immediately stood up. He didn't expect Zhou Guohui to say such a thing when he had an accident. Didn't he slap himself in the face in front of Luo Ning and Tong Tong? "Zhou Guohui, don't be shameless! They sold it to me because they didn't want it. What do you mean? Do I care about your [-]% off? Let me tell you, quickly wrap it up for me." Tong Tong on the side was also cold face, and snorted heavily.

Zhou Guohui laughed and said, "Third Young Master, don't be angry, don't be angry, this is also the rule in the store, they are all our customers, we can't favor one over another."

"Fart, you can't favor one another, you actually compare us with them" Li Zhiwei is really popular. After Luo Ning and the others came, Li Zhiwei did not brag about his family's strength in Hong Kong in front of them. Now in his jewelry store, a bad The old man actually dared to sing against himself. Not being able to buy things is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter

"I'll ask you again, will you sell it? If you don't sell it to me..." He wanted to say that if he didn't sell it, he would destroy your store, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.This is Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co., the leader in Hong Kong, with tens of thousands of employees. The owner, Zheng Yutong, has a fortune of hundreds of millions, which is even worse than that of Changhong Trading Group.If I dared to smash his storefront in the street, my dad would be able to peel my skin

"If you don't sell me, then..." Li Zhiwei hesitated for a while.

Fang Mingyuan had already stepped forward, and said to Zhou Guohui: "Old shopkeeper, can you let me have a look at this jade?"

Zhou Guohui immediately handed over the jade piece in his hand, and Li Zhiwei's anger immediately shifted. He glanced up and down at Fang Mingyuan, and said with a sneer, "What are you looking at? What's the use of seeing if you don't have money?"

Fang Mingyuan ignored him, but only looked at the jade piece in his hand. It was actually a jade plaque carved into the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"This is the top-grade mutton fat jade, which is pure and bright inside. Its body is like creamy fat. It is firm and delicate, thick and moist. Wearing it can nourish one's character, drive away evil spirits and avoid plague. It is beneficial to people. It is so beautiful. Look at it, Mr. Fang. The particle size is extremely fine, so the texture makes people feel very delicate, which is what the ancients called "meticulous and chestnut". The feeling is what the ancients called "warm and lustrous". The reason why suet jade is called the treasure of jade is that it is famous all over the world because it moisturizes like suet. And it has moderate transparency, which is what everyone calls The so-called "water head is good", the jade is slightly transparent, so that the carved jade pieces will look watery and lively, and the jade has very few impurities, and some of them are flawless, and the inside and outside are consistent, that is, The ancients said that 'flaws do not cover up goodness, and goodness does not cover up flaws'..." Zhou Guohui explained to Fang Mingyuan softly.

Fang Mingyuan didn't know much about the jade industry, but it was impossible for someone who was engaged in geological exploration to know everything.The real sheep fat jade, until 2000, the country has no official standard, it is produced in the snow-covered glaciers under the Kunlun Mountains.Suet jade is as white as suet, not only white but also never greenish. Its fat content is extremely high, which cannot be matched by ordinary mountain material or Ziyu with a color of suet.It is rare for some old players to play jade for decades.It is because of the high difficulty of obtaining suet jade and its rarity, so jade lovers often say that it is difficult to find suet jade, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.It can be said that even if ordinary people have money, they may not be able to buy the exquisite suet jade.

In later generations, those who claim to be suet jade are actually mostly high-white mountain jade or Ziyu, such as high-white jade without skin, which is generally mountain material.Therefore, those jade craftsmen know that the price of jade is several times higher than that of mountain materials, and they must try their best to keep the skin when doing the work.Some people try to make burnt and dyed fake leather in order to pretend to be Ziyu, which is often seen.Whether the skinless jade is Ziyu depends on the experience and eyesight of the appraiser, so there is often controversy.

However, for Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co., of course, they would not take out counterfeit products to smash their own brand, so the quality of jade should be guaranteed.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the jade pieces in his hand, and then turned his head to look at the other jade pieces on the counter. Zhou Guohui pointed and introduced them to him one by one.

Finally, Fang Mingyuan noticed a Yu Ruyi on the top of the counter. "This is the most precious suet jade Ruyi Mimi among the jade pieces in our store. On the back of Ruyi, the process of floating on the water with thin tires in furnace bottles is used. The thickness is well-proportioned. The master craftsman who carved the jade carved a hundred different "shou" characters on this jade ruyi. The characters are connected and the pens are continuous. The feeling of exquisiteness and nuance. It can be called the treasure of my store”

"Hey, are you finished?" Tong Tong said impatiently.

"Yeah, Zhou Guohui, what do you mean?" Li Zhiwei also said angrily.

Fang Mingyuan casually put the jade piece into Zhou Guohui's hands, turned to Tongtong and said, "I'll give you this jade piece. This is Hong Kong, not the mainland. Think about everything you do so you don't lose face."

"What do you mean by that?" Tong Tong immediately raised his eyes and screamed, "If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you don't have to be so unqualified?"

Fang Mingyuan ignored him, pointed at the jade pieces on the counter and said, "This, this, and this, um, and this..." He pointed at four or five jade pieces in a row.

"If you don't have money, what's the big deal here?" Li Zhiwei noticed that what Fang Mingyuan was referring to were jade wares with relatively low prices on the counter, so he couldn't help sneering.

"Sir, do you want to take a look at all these pieces?" The salesperson asked softly.

"No, apart from these few items, I want everything else." Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Yes, there is another one." He pointed at Yu Ruyi with his finger.

"Huh?" Everyone present was taken aback.There are thirty or forty jade wares in this counter, and after excluding the ones that Fang Mingyuan pointed out, there are still about thirty pieces, and that jade Ruyi, as Zhou Guohui said just now, is the treasure of the store, and the price can be imagined And I know, this young man dares to say that it's all inclusive

"You want it all?" Zhou Guohui's voice trembled a little, this is another big deal.

"I want it all," Fang Mingyuan said categorically, "That Yu Ruyi is very good, I think it's just right for Mr. Guo's birthday present this year."

"Ah... ahh" Zhou Guohui nodded and greeted the stunned shop assistants, "Don't be dazed, quickly wrap up the things for Third Young Master, remember to get [-]% off. Quickly help Fang Shao to calculate, the total price of these jade articles Price, I'm sorry, Young Master Fang, the highest authority I have is to give you a [-]% discount."

"Mingyuan, what do you want so many jades for?" Lin Lian grabbed Fang Mingyuan's arm and said softly.If you get angry with the other party, can't you buy so much in one go?

Fang Mingyuan turned his head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Lian" Although it cost a lot of money, Fang Mingyuan knew very well that in the long run, he would definitely not lose money on this transaction.

In the previous life, with the rapid development of China's economy for many years, some of the people became rich. Jade, which was originally loved by the Chinese people, was given new meanings of wealth, status, and taste, and became a luxury that hot money chased in a new round. object.In the late 90s, the international gold price continued to rise. In the first ten years of the new century, the gold price rose by nearly [-] times, which amazed the world.

But not many people know that in less than 30 years, the price of Hetian jade has increased by more than [-] times, and it has truly become a crazy stone.

In the 80s, the first-grade Hetian white jade mountain material was only a few hundred yuan per kilogram, but by 100, the market price was as high as [-] million yuan

This is the so-called "gold has a price and jade is priceless" v! ~!
