Chapter 664 The World of Ornamental Stones
"This...Fang Ming, what should I do?"

After a while, Zheng Bai spoke first.It's impossible for such a situation to be just three people, you stare at me and I stare at you, right?Gotta find a way, right?
"Well, yes, your young mind is more flexible, so I will leave this matter to you."

Sun Guohua picked up the teapot slowly and made tea.

"Well, I'll have to think about it."

Fang Ming knocked himself on the head, this is really something he has never encountered since he entered the industry.

Is it the uncanny workmanship of nature or the work of a master?

Fang Ming quickly figured it out, and understood that this is the first problem to be solved. If we talk about the former, then there is nothing to talk about. Natural things cannot be explained, and they cannot be copied. Such a miracle can only be regarded as a miracle, and there is no need for appraisal.So the most important thing now is to find someone to judge whether it is natural or man-made.

"Ha! There may be someone who can help us solve this problem."

After sorting out the clues, Fang Ming quickly found a solution to the problem.

"Who?"

"Which person? Is there another appraisal master in Ningdong City?"

Hearing what Fang Ming said, both Sun Guohua and Zheng Bai immediately asked questions.

"Oh, no."

Fang Ming shook his head, and then told Sun Guohua and Zheng Bai about himself.

"This is indeed a way of thinking, but who to look for? We all know the expert appraisers in Ningdong City. As far as I know, no one can appraise such stones."

Zheng Bai has been in the antique industry in Ningdong City for a long time. He has senior qualifications and a wide range of people, and he has a very good relationship with those people. At this moment, he couldn't figure out who Fang Ming was talking about.

"It's not from our circle. I met someone by accident before. She is in the business of ornamental stones. I think if this stone is natural, maybe she will recognize it."

Sun Guohua's eyes lit up. Fang Ming was right. This idea is very reasonable, because if the stone in front of him is natural, it must be a kind of ornamental stone. It is very correct to find an expert in this field to have a look. logic.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Guohua laughed and said: "Young people are indeed young people. This idea came up quickly. Where is the person you mentioned now? Just in Ningdong City. Let's go find her."

"I'll make a call first to see if she is in Ningdong City. She was still there a few days ago."

Fang Ming was talking about Yang Mu. He had learned from Ke Liu that Yang Mu had opened shops selling ornamental stones all over the country. The business was very big. Even if she was not an expert in this field, she must have knowledge in this field. The master sits in the town, just invite people.

Fortunately, Yang Mu was still in Ningdong City at this time.

As soon as they heard that they were still in Ningdong City, Fang Ming, Sun Guohua, and Zheng Bai got into the car without hesitation and went directly to Yang Mu's shop.

"Hey! This... looks good."

After arriving at Yang Mu's store, Sun Guohua was immediately attracted by the various stones in the store. For a moment, he seemed to forget that he came here to ask Yang Mu for help, and even Zheng Bai was very grateful. Interested, so the two looked carefully.

Seeing them like this, Fang Ming shook his head and simply ignored them. He and Yang Mu walked inside, and then sat down in the small reception room.

Sun Guohua and Zheng Bai watched it for more than an hour before they finally read it.

"Ha, it seems that this ornamental stone also has a very deep doorway."

After sitting down, Zheng Bai first spoke with a smile.He has heard of ornamental stones a long time ago, and had a little contact with them before, but he didn't have a deep understanding. Today, because he came here, he took a closer look. When he saw those naturally formed shapes or figures Even if he has a lot of experience, he can't help but marvel at the ornamental stone.

"Yes, I didn't expect it at all, I didn't expect it at all, it completely changed."

Sun Guohua also felt the same way as Zheng Bai.

Yang Mu is also a well-informed person, even if Fang Ming didn't introduce her, she could tell that Zheng Bai and especially Sun Guohua were definitely not ordinary people, so she didn't expect to have such a high opinion of the ornamental stone.

"I used to think that ornamental stones were the same thing, but now I realize that I have seen real treasures."

Zheng Bai shook his head lightly. People who play with antiques actually have little contact with ornamental stones, but to be honest, he didn't take this to heart at all before, thinking that compared to antiques, they really don't have much attraction. , the root cause is that the ornamental stones are not refined enough and not attractive.

However, when he arrived at Yang Mu's shop, he realized that he had never seen a really good one before.

"I just found an ornamental stone, which should be made of jade, and there is a landscape painting on it! It is made of pure natural jade! This is really rare! Such a thing is really unique in the world One piece!"

"Old Zheng, what you are talking about is one of the boutiques in our store. Speaking of this ornamental stone, there is actually a little story."

Yang Mu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Fang Ming even smiled and said, "Let's hear it?"

"I remember it should be the year before last. Once I accompanied an antique dealer to gamble on stones-I don't understand, my friend is a master. I just heard that betting on stones has something to do with stones, and I am in the business of stones. Yes, I just wanted to see if there were any good stones. When I first went there, I was disappointed. There were a bunch of stones, but they were too far away from my ornamental stones.”

Hearing this, Fang Ming and the others all laughed. They all had bet on stones before, and Fang Ming was even more likely to bet on the Emerald King.The stones used for betting stones are either black or gray, and the skin is rough and uneven, which is indeed far away from the ornamental stones.

"Half a day later, that friend of mine won a few pieces of small emeralds in a bet. It was a small profit. Just when we were about to leave, we found a person betting on a huge rough stone, surrounded by spectators. A lot. My friend and I also went to see it. I remember that person seemed to have spent 100 million bets, but after opening the window, he found that there were only strips of thin emerald silk inside, some were thicker, but overall it was Basically, they are all thin and thin, not to mention the big ones, even small irons such as earrings, there are not a few pieces, which is a typical bet.”

"I was moved in my heart at the time, thinking that these tiny silky jadeites might not be useful in antique jewelry, but it might be another matter for me. You must know that one of our ornamental stones The most important thing is to play with patterns. Once these tiny emerald silks form a pattern, it will be a big deal. So I asked my friend to buy it for me. It didn’t cost much at the time, because the other party lost the bet. , so I only paid 3000 yuan and bought it.”

"After I came back, I spent a little time researching and polishing it carefully, and finally found out that it is really a landscape painting, so the nature is really wonderful, as long as we find it carefully."

"what!"

Fang Ming heard it turned out to be such a thing, "This is also a kind of leak."

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, we also have this kind of name in our industry, but more often, we need to search all over the mountains and plains. Sometimes in order to find a good stone, we have to dig through it." I have passed several hills. Especially now that the market for ornamental stones is becoming more and more mature, and the value of good stones is getting higher and higher, so there are many people looking for them, so it is becoming more and more difficult to find good ones. Yes—sometimes when a good stone appears in the market, it is a steal, and in many cases the price is raised to double or triple the real price."

"Isn't it? It's like this!"

Fang Ming's heart moved. He remembered that when he first came here, he had seen those ornamental stones in the store. There were quite a few of them worth 10,000+ hundreds of thousands or even millions. Not much difference anymore.

Yang Mu nodded and said, "Yes, the industry is already very big now, and many places have special ornamental stone exhibitions, such as strange stone exhibitions. Of course, the doorway of ornamental stones is very deep. , but compared with antiques, it has its own advantages. For example, its identification is relatively simple, and it is relatively popular in terms of appreciation. For example, a blue and white flower, if it is not Playing with antiques, even if it is a million-level one, it is actually a bottle in the eyes of ordinary people. But ornamental stones are different. At least many people can see that a million-level ornamental stone is valuable. In terms of popularity, it is actually a bottle. It has great advantages.”

"That's true."

Now even Sun Guohua nodded. He is an antique player himself, so he naturally knows that what Yang Mu said is right. The water for antiques is too deep. a feeling of.

"This is also an important reason for the popularity of ornamental stones in recent years-putting an ornamental stone in the office can really improve the grade."

Yang Mu is one of the leaders in the ornamental stone industry, so of course he knows the whole market very well.

"Heh... I was wondering if we, Dongcheng Street, can also do something about ornamental stones."

Fang Ming pinched his chin, and immediately turned his attention to Yang Mu.
