I changed the world

"My surname is Wei, and my nickname is Xi Ming. Today I came here to ask Khenpo for advice..."

....................................

After staying one night in the temple, Wei Chengguang embarked on his return journey early the next morning.When bidding farewell to Khenpo Lobsang, he left 150 yuan as an offering to the temple.

On the way back, he looked at the blue sky with white clouds floating there, as if he could easily reach them. In the distance, the towering peaks looked mysterious and spectacular under the sunlight. However, he felt a little disappointed. .

That Khenpo Lobsang was really knowledgeable, but that seemed to be the end of it.Especially at the level of practice, Wei Chengguang could not see any trace of "successful practice" or "supernatural" or "supernatural power" in the old Khenpo.

Although he also knew in his heart that whether it was Taoism or Pagoda, orthodox practice emphasized "not seeking supernatural powers", but he still believed in his heart that "not seeking" did not mean "none"...

Heavenly Lord... I want the Dharma to be rectified, but where is the Dharma?

Wei Chengguang looked at the blue sky and thought silently.

Suddenly, the phone in his palm started shaking. Wei Chengguang lowered his head to check, only to find that it was a message sent by netizen "Dao Hongzi" on Qianluo. Like him, this friend was also an active member of the "Tai Xuan Ying Wu" forum. They Along with other like-minded netizens, there is a group on Qianluo - "Chao Wen Dao".

Wei Chengguang clicked on it and saw a video sent by Dao Hongzi, and attached a sentence under the video: "Look, I just saw this video. It is said that the crew of "After the Sword" met in Liyang Mountain. When I got to Gao Ren, I asked a friend who knew photography to look at it, and there should be no traces of special effects.”

Wei Chengguang clicked to download the video hesitantly. Due to the slow speed of the satellite network, he had to download it before he could watch it. It took a full quarter of an hour for the video to be downloaded.

It’s not that there haven’t been some videos in the group that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, but most of them were controversial. Therefore, before opening this video, Wei Chengguang didn’t actually have much confidence. He just posted it specifically because of the face of his friends. For yourself, always look at it.

However, when he finished watching the entire video, he was stunned, and then he opened the video again...

After watching it three times, Wei Chengguang's face gradually became excited, and he directly sent a question to Dao Hongzi: "Where was this video taken?"

Dao Hongzi quickly replied: "I knew you were interested. It is said that I met the crew when they were filming an outdoor scene in the bamboo sea outside Yongning Village, Qingshan County. They suspected that they were hermits in Liyang Mountain, but they should None could be found.”

"I'm going to go take a look." Wei Chengguang quickly replied: "I'm in Tibet now, and I'll probably be able to get to Qingshan the day after tomorrow."

"I'm going too, and we'll meet in Qingshan then." Dao Hongzi replied.

"Okay, let's meet in Qingshan."

"Okay, okay, please trouble Brother Fuyuan... Hahaha... Okay, I'll see you then." Zhang Jing hung up the phone in his hand. It was Jin Wang who just called, mainly to win the public sale. thing.

Jin Wang has already signed up for him, and we will just go to the site to get the pass together.The departure date for everyone in Linzhou is scheduled for next Monday. At that time, everyone will gather at Linzhou Airport. The tickets will be purchased together. Everyone will take the same flight directly to Guizhou in the form of a tour group, and then transfer to Zhaobo on the border of Zhaobo. Midtown.

Zhang Jing naturally had no objection, so the itinerary was confirmed.In fact, there is a reason why Zhang Jing wants to go with the group this time instead of finding another time to go by himself.In fact, long before Zhang Jing went to Anxi to buy white jade, he had already learned about the jade raw stone transaction on the Internet.

Unlike Khotan jade, jade is much more expensive than white jade. Therefore, Zhang Jing, who did not have much money on hand at the time, did not choose to go to the southwest.

Another reason here is that the primary source of jadeite rough stones almost all comes from public offerings. In order to ensure the orderly and normal conduct of transactions, especially to ensure that participants have sufficient solvency, major public offerings are basically not fair to individuals. It is open to participants, and the public customers are basically from various merchants in the industry.

The reason for this is mainly because in the early days of the public auction, many individual bidders were unable to pay due to tight funds on hand after bidding, or simply disappeared, which had a negative impact on the normal transactions of the public auction.

Originally, Zhang Jing planned to finish the work at hand and take the time to go to some jade retail markets in the southwest. Although the prices were more expensive, with a golden finger, he was sure to make a big profit.However, since there was an opportunity to enter the public market directly, he was still prepared to seize it and take a look.

Thinking about it, when I come back this time, I can probably start my next plan... Zhang Jing thought silently in his heart.

....................................

After deciding to go to the public sale, Zhang Jing sat at his desk and continued to read an email he had just received. This was the first draft of the design sent by Liu Haitao, who had previously accepted the design task posted by him on Wuya.com.

He had been studying this first draft before receiving a phone call from Jin Wang.

This design draft ran to hundreds of pages, and Zhang Jing read it very carefully. Since the two parties maintained constant communication during the design, Zhang Jing was generally quite satisfied.

A total of nearly 20 buildings were designed on the design drawing. According to the terrain given by Zhang Jing, all the buildings are arranged along the mountain, with a low front and high back.

At the same time, in accordance with the requirements given by Zhang Jing, the overall building presents two building groups on the top of the mountain and on the mountainside, separated by mountain gates and courtyard walls respectively.

In Zhang Jing's imagination, the lower courtyard below and the inner courtyard on the top of the mountain need to be distinguished.

In terms of architectural structure, the designer unified the style and absorbed some advantages of Western and modern design on the basis of oriental architecture. The overall style is consistent with the style of the small wild goose pagoda that Zhang Jing had seen before. The main architectural structure Stone is the main material, and wooden components are mostly used for decoration.

Zhang Jing felt quite satisfied with it at first glance.

Zangjing Hall, Fengxian Hall, Bell Tower, Main Hall, Side Hall, Back Hall, Altar, Star Observation Platform, Bell Tower, Mountain Gate, Zhaitang, etc. In addition, there are some unnamed empty rooms arranged at both ends of the central axis... …

The designer also considered the general functions of different buildings and marked them on the design drawings. At the same time, there was also a sketch of the effects.

It should be said that Zhang Jing is generally quite satisfied with this design. It can be seen that the other party is also very serious. All buildings have detailed dimensions and material estimates.

After careful consideration, Zhang Jing gave some suggestions for adjustments and modifications without changing the overall situation, and then sent them via email and informed the other party that the interior decoration design could be started as soon as possible.The specific design style is also what we communicated last time. The overall design is based on oriental classical style, simple and elegant.

After the email was sent, a few moments later, there was a call from the mobile phone. It was from the designer Liu Haitao. He said that he had read the email sent back by Zhang Jing and there were some details that needed further confirmation.Therefore, Zhang Jing carefully discussed his thoughts with the other party on his mobile phone and confirmed the details until Liu Haitao had no doubts anymore.

"Brother Fuyuan." As soon as he walked into Terminal 5 of the airport, Zhang Jing, who was carrying a backpack, immediately saw Jin Wang, who was wearing sunglasses and had a very conspicuous figure. He walked up and said hello.

"It's Hongjian. Come on, here's your ticket. We'll be on the plane soon. Put it away first." Jin Wang smiled and returned the gift, then dug around in his pocket, took out a few tickets, and then pulled out a Zhang, handed it to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing was the first one to arrive besides Jin Wang. Seeing that the others hadn't arrived yet, he sat down and chatted with Jin Wang.

In addition to himself, Jin Wang also brought two people with him this time. One was a middle-aged man named Chen Jian, who was said to be very knowledgeable in jade appraisal, and the other was a young man named Jin Luo. He is said to be Jin Wang's nephew.The two of them were sitting on the other side at this time, and at the same time they paid homage to Jin Wang.

1 Zhaozhong

In addition, for this operation, Jin Wang contacted a travel agency in Linzhou that specializes in southwest routes, and everyone will go as a tour group.Therefore, a female tour guide named Wang also went together to coordinate the itinerary and accommodation along the way.

After about half an hour, people began to arrive. In addition to Ma Bo and Li Xuezhe, whom Zhang Jing had met before, there was also a jade merchant named Lu Yangzhong, whose pseudonym was Ziyue, and he was also a wealthy man. A middle-aged man, it is said that he is a famous jade jewelry merchant in the southeast.This time, at Jin Wang’s invitation, we went to Zhaozhong together.

Zhang Jing met with everyone one after another, and these people more or less brought companions or entourages. Only Zhang Jing went alone. In this way, the entire team expanded to 14 people.

....................................

The flight scheduled by the group took off at 09:15 and flew directly to Guizhou Tianmen Airport in Nanzhao. After about five hours of flight, the flight landed at Guizhou Tianmen Airport at 14:03.

Since lunch was provided on the plane, the group did not stay in Guizhou for too long after the plane landed and directly transferred to a long-distance bus to Zhaozhong City.The distance from Guizhou to Zhaozhong is about 650 kilometers. There are mountain roads along the way. There are large sections of winding mountain roads and the road conditions are not good. The group really suffered a lot.

....................................

Driving on the uneven mountain road, the whole bus swayed up and down like a ship sailing in the waves. Zhang Jing looked out the window. Looking out the window was a cliff like a knife and an ax chopping.

The road here is not wide, probably barely enough for two cars to pass each other. Perhaps because he often drives this road, the driver seems not to care about such road conditions. The whole car is driving very fast, in an almost The drifting speed surged through the mountain roads.

This makes everyone in the car feel like their lives are hanging by a thread...

There was a lingering sour smell in the car. This was because several passengers could not stand the bumps and vomited directly.

"Master, why don't you drive a little slower? We're not in a hurry..." A passenger sitting in the front of the bus near the driver couldn't help but say.

"Nothing's wrong! Nothing's wrong! Don't worry!" The driver's southwest accent was thicker. He stretched out his hand and gestured backwards twice, without any intention of slowing down the car.

After driving for a while, the bus just turned a mountain road. Zhang Jing suddenly felt something. He frowned and looked up. The next moment, several exclamations came from the back of the vehicle.

Everyone hurriedly looked back, and saw that several pieces of rock as tall as a person had peeled off from the mountain wall on one side and fell onto the mountain road behind, throwing up some smoke and dust.Fortunately, the vehicle passed and was not affected.

The driver was obviously very experienced in this situation. He just glanced back at the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator. Instead of slowing down, he accelerated the car and passed this section of road quickly.

..............................

When we arrived at Zhaozhong, it was already around 22:[-] in the evening. Because we were on the way, the bus stopped directly in front of the hotel.When getting off the bus, even though it was not the first time for many of the passengers to walk on the mountain road in the southwest, they all felt like they were breathing a sigh of relief.

"Twenty years ago, when I took the Lishan route, the road condition was not as good as it is now. In this big mountain, such a road is pretty good..." Li Xuezhe laughed and scolded the listless young companion beside him.

Zhaozhong is a small city, mainly engaged in border trade. In recent years, due to local policy support, it has also become an important channel for the entry of jade, which has taken away part of Lishan's share in the jadeite rough trade.

The hotel that Jin Wang had booked earlier was a two-star hotel with five floors. It was also one of the few high-end hotels in this small town, named "Cuiyuan Hotel".After checking in, everyone moved in and the rooms were arranged together, all on the third floor.Zhang Jing lived in a single room. After entering, he looked around and found it to be quite clean.

There was nothing to say that night. Early the next morning, the group left the hotel. The travel agency contacted a local minibus in advance. The driver would follow the tour group throughout the day.Before getting on the bus, the female tour guide also seriously warned everyone not to go out alone, and all actions must be accompanied by a group to ensure safety.

The local infrastructure is very poor. Only the main roads are paved with asphalt pavement, and many roads are still made of loess. Therefore, most of the cars seen here are dusty.Zhang Jing looked all the way through the window of the minibus. Most of the cars on the road were old cars from Fuso. In this world, Fuso cars are synonymous with low-end cars and are much cheaper than local car brands in Dazhao.

From time to time, you can see some unkind-looking young people squatting or sitting on the roadside. Most of these people are thin, with hair like dry grass, wearing old clothes that don't fit at all, and many of them are barefoot.

Beggars can often be seen on the roadside, usually with an old bowl in front of them and looking at the passers-by with numb eyes.

Zhang Jing noticed that the proportion of people here smoking is quite high. Some of them hold cigarettes in their hands, while others smoke in pots.Before coming here, Zhang Jing already knew that Nanzhao was the best tobacco planting area in Jokhang, and at the same time, it was also one of the most important entry and private planting areas in Japan.

CMB came to a huge site in the city and stopped in front of it. Several simple steel structures were built here like large factories. It could be seen that they were newly built, and simple colored steel walls were built outside.

A huge banner hung on the height of a steel structure building in the middle: The First Zhaozhong International Jade and Jewelry Exhibition.

The CMB stopped in the pre-designated parking area, and there were many vehicles parked around it.After everyone gets off the bus, the driver and tour guide will wait in the car until everyone returns.

Everyone first went to a row of tables outside the venue to apply for admission passes. Those who participated in the public auction had registered through the industry association before. At this time, they only needed to show their identity documents, pay the fee and obtain admission passes. Can.

A one-time admission fee of 200 yuan is required to visit the public auction. If you want to participate in bidding, you also need to pay a deposit of 5 yuan, which will be refunded after the public auction.

Zhang Jing's registration was completed with Jin Wang's help. After paying the admission fee and deposit, Zhang Jing successfully obtained the admission pass and an exhibition procedure description.

Zhang Jing followed the crowd inside and lowered his head to read the instructions in his hand. This public auction lasted for six days. The first three days were bid viewing days. The bids on display during these three days were all hidden bids. The fourth and fifth days were Bid opening day, and a wave of open bids will be released on the last day.

Because they were all buying wool for their respective companies, the team members exchanged ideas with each other after entering the venue, and then decided to go their separate ways and look at the goods separately.

Jin Wang kindly asked Zhang Jing if he wanted to act together. Zhang Jing considered that it was his first time to participate in such an event and he had no idea about the price, so he agreed.

Today is the first day of the public auction. All jade wool materials are bid in the form of hidden bids. A large number of jade wool materials are arranged neatly, padded with felts, and arranged on the ground.Some of the woolen materials here are sold as single pieces, and some are sold as a package of piles of woolen materials.Each lot has its own independent number.

At first glance, the huge venue is densely packed with wool.According to the description in their hands, there are nearly [-] pieces of wool to be sold in this market.

"It seems that Zhaozhong really wants to make a name for himself. After getting so many materials, we really came to the right place this time." Jin Wang looked very excited and rubbed his hands.

A group of people walked forward along the passage vacated between the woolen materials. Although it was still early, a large number of visitors had already begun to pour in. It could be seen that the rise of jade in recent years has attracted quite a lot of people. caring people.

Zhang Jing held a small book in his hand and followed Fatty Jin, listening to his constant comments on the materials, which could be regarded as accumulating some experience.

It took more than an hour to just walk around the two venues, and Zhang Jing also had a general understanding of these materials.

Today, about one-tenth of these woolen materials are relatively high-end materials. In addition, about [-]% are mid-range materials. The rest are relatively cheap low-end materials. Most of these low-end materials are wholesaled in a few pieces. selling.

Of course, this does not mean that high-end materials are necessarily good, and it is not impossible to cut them out to be shit.Occasionally, there will be a top quality piece among those materials that look like garbage. This not only depends on the buyer's discernment, but is also linked to luck to a large extent.

Most of the wool in the public sale this time is semi-machined wool. Windows have been cut out or cut open, and part of the stone meat can be seen. This kind of material accounts for at least two-thirds of the total quantity.There are even some that have been cut into pieces so quickly that they can already be called semi-raw materials.

Of course, if such materials perform well, the price is generally not cheap. According to Jin Wang, the best bidders in previous public auctions usually come from such semi-gambling materials.

In fact, Zhang Jing had noticed that after looking around just now, Jin Wang was generally focusing on half-gambling materials.Zhang Jing understands this very well. After all, the risk of half gambling is much smaller than that of full gambling. Jin Wang is a jade merchant, not a gambler. It is very important for him to control risks.

However, it was different for Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing decided to focus on all gambling materials.

So Zhang Jing separated from Jin Wang on the pretext that he had taken a fancy to some pieces of material and wanted to take a closer look.

Zhang Jingping wandered around the field again, and with the help of Zhenhuo Lantong, he finally locked on three pieces of wool, two large and one small.

In fact, among the three pieces of wool, the two aniseed ones are more eye-catching in the entire venue, for no other reason than their size.One piece is more than one meter high and weighs 5.3 tons; the other is larger, as tall as a person when erected, and weighs 8.6 tons. These two large pieces of wool are also among the top aniseed materials in the entire venue.

The 5.3-ton piece of wool is an old material from Mugangchang, and it is rectangular in shape. Although Zhang Jing didn’t know much about jade wool before, he has done some homework since he came here, and he has some common sense about jade wool. Have a basic understanding of the place of origin, etc.

Mugang Field is the earliest mining field in Bago and is a famous historical pit. The high-quality materials produced are famous for their fine crystallization, good planting, high transparency and rich color, so the price is higher than that of materials from other origins.

The piece that Zhang Jing was interested in was a typical old material of black fog sand leather shell, but it was scattered with a lot of moldy pine flowers.

These moldy pine flowers are quite scattered, scattered everywhere like dots of stars, and it is precisely because of this that the score of this piece of material is greatly reduced.

The price of this piece of material, labeled B1-2186, is not cheap. The base price marked on the material is 150 million.Under the observation of Zhang Jing Zhenhuo Liantong, there is a condensed white light inside. About a quarter of one side of this white light is entangled with some gray gas, but the rest is clean white light, pure and bright. .

Another piece of material that Zhang Jing is interested in is a piece of yellow and red sand leather from Motor Field. Although Motor Field is not a traditional old production area with a long history, it is also a relatively famous place for producing good jade, which has become extremely popular in recent years. kind of.

There are also some problems with the appearance of this piece of material, that is, there are many small strands distributed on it.This can be regarded as a huge minus point. As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of big cracks, be afraid of small locks." Because small locks are very easy to change, the size and depth are elusive.

In addition, another problem with this piece of material is that there are several scabies on it, which can penetrate into the stone and are extremely destructive.

These are all obvious shortcomings. They belong to lice on the head of a bald man. Even a novice like Zhang Jing can see them.As for other more questions, Zhang Jing was not sure.

Under the observation of Zhang Jing's secret technique, this piece of aniseed was found to be no inferior to the previous piece. Except for a few places corresponding to the ringworm, there was some gray air, but it was not deep, and its huge interior was It shows bright white light.

The starting price of this piece of wool labeled B0-4521 is 213 million, which is slightly higher than the previous piece.

The above two pieces of aniseed materials were selected by Zhang Jing to perform best among the more than [-] pieces of the largest gambling materials on the venue.

The third piece of material he was interested in was much smaller than the above two pieces. It was a round spherical piece of material. It was a 120 kilogram terrazzo material from the famous Laochangkou Songna Wood Factory. , the performance of this piece of wool can be called average, there are no problems that can be called flaws, but there are also no overly excellent features.

However, in the eyes of many people, this kind of material is already a good material with considerable merit. After all, the kind of top-quality material with python belts all over it cannot reach the public market at all. Most of it will be wiped away as soon as it is dug out. , and then sell them as high-priced materials.

Therefore, the most people pay attention to this piece of material. However, the base price of this piece of material labeled B1-3128 is not low. The base price of 390 million and the obviously fierce competition have made many people hesitate.

Chapter 1 Full cooperation

The reason why Zhang Jing noticed this piece of material was because in his observation, the inner core of this piece of material was actually light red. In his impression, this was a very rare situation, usually it was Only extraordinary items can have this color, which obviously shows that the quality of this material is very high.

Then, the next biggest question is how to ensure that the bidding will be successful.To be honest, Zhang Jing has no experience in this kind of bidding. How much should be raised from the base price to ensure winning the bid is a matter of blindness to him.

Fortunately, Zhang Jing also had a clever idea. His five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people, which naturally included hearing. Therefore, in the next two days, he spent most of his time near these three pieces of wool. While paying attention to those people who stay around these woolen materials for a long time and who may be bidding, keep your ears open and eavesdrop on the conversations of those people, especially paying attention to the information about bidding in the conversation.
