Hello, 1983

An astonishing piece of news quickly spread in the small urban area: there was another company buying jade, the price was fair, and the old man was innocent.

The jade-pickers are all in the same heart, and this news is rapidly spreading to the surrounding areas, and everyone who hears it is delighted.

There are also many jade pickers who have received news, and they have moved out the fine jade treasures in their homes and happily sell them.

So much so that the acquisition department on Liu Qingshan's side has been busy these days since it opened.

Even the old man Alimu couldn't bear it, after all, he was still very old.

In the end, it was Liu Qingshan who strongly advocated that he called a few apprentices of Mr. Alimu to be responsible for ordering the jade.

As for the old man, he was sitting next to him drinking medicinal tea and was in charge of the formation.

When encountering those who are not sure, the disciples and grandchildren will take it before the old man and ask him to decide.

At this moment, one of the old man's disciples was holding a fist-sized piece of seed material to be identified by the master.

The old man Alimu had been sitting calmly, but at this moment he could not help but stand up, watching and praising: Good baby, good baby!

This time, Liu Qingshan and Uncle Lu were brought in to watch the strangeness together.

The jade material that can be praised by the elders of Alimu must be extraordinary.

The size of this jade material is not large, and it is wrapped in a light yellow skin. Anyway, Liu Qingshan can't see anything. In his eyes, it is not much different from other seeds.

Niaz brought the jade picker, a local woman in her thirties, holding a seven- or eight-year-old little Balang in her hand.

The old man Alimu obviously knew this woman: Erguli, it's you, how are you at home?

The woman nodded, but the clothes on her and Xiao Balang were very shabby, and the little boy had a yellow face and thin skin. Obviously, life was not going well.

It's hard for you too.

The old man Alimu knew the situation of Erguli's family. A few years ago, her husband went up the mountain to pick jade, and then he never came back.

Those who are left with orphans and widows have to take care of their parents-in-law and their mother-in-law, and the days are very hard.

Erguli, can I wipe this piece of jade material off?

Maybe it can reach the standard of suet jade. The old man asked the women for his opinion.

Erguli's haggard face nodded, this jade was left by her husband back then, and she wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

It's just that life is really about to go on, and she heard that the purchase price here is relatively high, so she came to try her luck.

For this piece of jade, the old man Alimu was going to take the shot himself and asked someone to connect the grinding machine, and the old man carefully began to grind the stone skin bit by bit.

This grinding lasted for more than an hour. After the grinding machine was told to be turned off, the old man couldn't even straighten his waist.

Niaz hurried up to beat the old man's waist, and someone brought water and poured it on the piece of jade.

About half of the jade material has been worn away, and only a small window is opened on the front.

Because high-quality jade materials are very rare and precious, many carvers will bring weathered stone skins when carving. The old man does this to avoid damaging the materials to the greatest extent possible.

Wow! There was exclamation from the surroundings.

Where the outer skin was removed, the white jade flesh was already exposed. Even if Liu Qingshan had never seen mutton fat jade, a strong feeling emerged in his heart:

This must be suet jade!

In the past few days, he has also seen a lot of jade materials, but the color is so pure, there is really no one.

He reached out and stroked it again, it felt extremely oily, the smooth feeling, as if touching the delicate skin of a baby.

White, bright and warm, such top-quality Hetian jade can be called suet jade.

Erguli, congratulations, this is the real suet jade, and it may not be able to produce one piece every year. How about I set you a price of 20,000 yuan?

There was also a relief in the eyes of the old man Alimu.

Twenty thousand?

The woman couldn't help covering her face and weeping. At this moment, all the sadness and grievances poured out with tears.

With this money, their family's situation will be fundamentally changed, their son can go to school, and the elderly in the family will no longer have to work hard for a living and can enjoy their old age...

Niazi, go with Erguli and help her save the money. The old man Alimu beckoned to Niazi. With so much cash, he was worried.

Waiting for Erguli to walk away, the old man Alimu looked at Liu Qingshan apologetically:

The size of this suet jade is still a little small. Actually, it's not worth 20,000 yuan, so it looks like 15,000 yuan.

I want to help the poor Erguli family. I will make up for the extra 5,000 yuan.

Liu Qingshan was playing with this piece of suet jade in his hand, and he felt reluctant to let go.

It's really a good thing. After putting it on, it's worth over 10 million yuan, and it's still worthless.

He reluctantly looked away from the jade material, and quietly looked at the old man Alimu:

Old man, jade is not only its own value, it also represents integrity, firmness, humility, purity and other beautiful qualities.

It is these virtues that have made jade so popular for thousands of years.

This jade is worth the price.

The old man Alimu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, looking at Liu Qingshan, full of admiration, and he couldn't help but admire:

Son, many people have been in contact with jade for a lifetime, but none of you can think through it.

At this moment, the old man Alimu truly accepted Liu Qingshan as a foreigner.

The price of their acquisition department is fair, and the old man is not deceived. After three or five days, they quickly occupied the acquisition market. More than 95% of the jade in Hotan area gathered here.

Even so, the jade that is collected every day is actually hundreds of kilograms, which is the case when many people take out the inventory at home.

At this time, the jade mining methods were still relatively primitive and backward. Except for the large mines on the mountain, the rest were basically traditional manual methods, and the harvest was limited.

As for the exchange on the opposite side, it can only be described as a door.

Those employees of the exchange are idle. Anyway, they earn wages and they are idle.

But Liu Datou and the others have turned into ants on a hot pot one by one:

If the exchange can't accept jade, they will cut off their financial path.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents, of course they can't bear it.

In the past few years in Hotan, Liu Datou has accumulated some contacts.

After a few days of planning, he finally pulled up a team, mighty, and attacked Liu Qingshan's acquisition department.

This team can be called a motley crew: it includes six or seven industries, and most of them still have law enforcement powers.

Liu Datou didn't believe it: you are a grass-roots team that has been set up in a hurry, if you have any formalities, you can just seal it up and you will be fine.

In order to invite these uncles, Liu Datou made a lot of money, and even sent out several color TV sets.

Damn, the price of color TVs has skyrocketed this year, and a color TV costs several thousand, which makes Liu Datou almost heartbroken.

However, the money was not paid by him alone, but shared equally by him and the second-order dealers.

And they also made a plan. After the acquisition department of the other party was seized, they would divide up the jade that the other party had acquired these days, and they would definitely be able to make up for the loss.

This large force of more than 30 people rushed to the front of Liu Qingshan's acquisition department.

Among them, most of them are wearing various uniforms, this battle is really not small.

Those jade-pickers who were lining up to sell jade were timid and ran away, for fear of being implicated.

Stop it, stop it! A middle-aged man in uniform shouted loudly.

Immediately, Cao Xiaofei stepped forward to say hello: Comrade, what's the matter, come, have a cigarette first.

The man pulled Cao Xiaofei's hand aside: Today, our various departments are working together to enforce the law and take out all your formalities.

Just say, what formalities are required. Cao Xiaofei smiled, neither anxious nor angry.

Business license.

Cao Xiaofei shook his head: No.

Tax registration certificate.

Cao Xiaofei still shook his head: No.

What about the jade collection certificate issued by the district?

Cao Xiaofei's head is about to become a rattle: No.

These law enforcement officers were all gasped: if you want nothing, then what are you waiting for, they will be directly seized.

I didn't expect this job to be so easy. Although they were running errands and didn't see much, it was still okay to eat, drink, and finally get some tobacco and alcohol.

These staff, like wolves like tigers, will go up and stick seals.

But he saw Cao Xiaofei grinning: Comrades, we have this, comrades, please take a look.

Without the formalities, you can't do anything you say. The middle-aged man just now didn't want to grumble.

On the other hand, a person from the industrial and commercial department next to him was quite clever. Looking at the folder that Cao Xiaofei handed over, there might be something good in it. Let's take a look first.

After opening the folder, he was also a little disappointed, and there was nothing he imagined.

Inadvertently glanced at the page in the folder, the man couldn't help but stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed the folder to another person beside him, as if it was hot.

They are all old fried dough sticks, and the others are also a little strange. After they have seen the contents, they all have strange expressions on their faces.

The official aura just now also dissipated in an instant, and they got together and discussed something in a low voice.

This made Datou Liu, who was watching the excitement behind him, anxious. Datou Liu wanted to take a look, but the folder was returned to Cao Xiaofei.

He slowly closed the folder and said to the law enforcement officers:

Comrades, I'm sorry, I've worked so hard for everyone to make a trip, go into the house to drink tea and smoke a cigarette. It's very hot outside.

No, no, you are busy, such a major event must not be delayed.

It was the original middle-aged man, who said politely, and then led the team away.

What's the situation?

Liu Datou and the others were so anxious that they were scratching their heads, and they quickly followed the law enforcement team. After walking out of the street, they hurried up to ask.

Comrades, they didn't have any formalities, so why did they just withdraw? Liu Datou didn't bother to hand over the cigarettes and asked directly.

The leading middle-aged man glanced at Liu Datou:

I warn you, it's best not to have any crooked thoughts, otherwise, our departments will unite and check your affairs first.

Liu Datou felt that his head seemed to grow a little bigger: Comrade Jiang. What are you talking about? You have to tell us the truth.

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: Liu Datou, I advise you, don't provoke others, it's not something you can afford to provoke, so be careful to burn yourself.

It was the comrade from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau next to him. Looking at Liu Datou, they were all sweating with anxiety. Thinking that these people are usually filial to tobacco and alcohol, they said:

Do you know what proof they brought out?

Liu Datou and the others shook their heads together.

Tell you, people are buying jade for the capital Asian Games Organizing Committee. It's a matter of national importance. Who dares to stop it?

Liu Datou's group was also taken aback. Now that the Asian Games is held nationwide, everything related to the Asian Games must give way.

However, Datou Liu didn't understand: How can these two things that the Asian Games and Hetian Yuba can't fight have anything to do with each other?

It was the same person just now who mentioned: The certificate says that the jade was purchased for the purpose of making medals.

Liu Datou couldn't help but beat his big head: The medals are all gold, silver and bronze. Haven't you heard of using jade as a medal?

He was right that he hadn't heard of it. At this moment, in Liu Qingshan's acquisition department, it had returned to normal, and began to start acquisitions in an orderly manner.

The old man Alimu was holding the folder and taking a closer look, the smile on his face was getting stronger and stronger:

Not bad, so you still have this, why didn't you take it out earlier, I've been worried for the past few days.

Liu Qingshan said twice: Master, our army never fights unprepared battles.

You!

Alimu shook his head with a smile. He knew that this young man must have some trump cards, but he just couldn't imagine that it would work so well.

With this thing, it is like holding a sword of Shangfang in ancient times. Anyone who dares to do something bad will be killed with one sword.

This was also planned by Liu Qingshan before he came to the frontier.

To this end, he also went to the organizing committee and offered to sponsor the medal.

At that time, all the members of the organizing committee were completely blinded: some sponsored athletes for clothing, and some sponsored drinks. This was the first time I heard about sponsoring medals.

However, the organizing committee is poor. Thousands of medals are a lot of money, so this incident quickly alerted several leaders of the organizing committee, and they even summoned Liu Qingshan in person.

When Liu Qingshan proposed: our country is hosting the Asian Games for the first time, the medals must have Chinese characteristics.

What are the characteristics? Huaxia has liked jade since ancient times, so of course the medals must be made of gold and jade.

The idea of ​​Liu Qingshan was also inspired by the 2008 Olympic Games.

However, when this idea was proposed in this era, the organizing committee was immediately shocked, so Liu Qingshan successfully produced a certificate.

In this way, he can justifiably intervene in the jade acquisition of this special industry.

Moreover, by the end of the year, the jewelry processing factory will start construction, and the first batch of products will also be available.

In the early stage, some material costs must be added, but it is regarded as advertising.

If they made special medals for the Asian Games, their jewelry company would definitely be a hit and be known to the whole country.

It is even said that the whole of Asia can have a certain popularity, and the advertising effect alone will pay off.

Not to mention, Liu Qingshan still has follow-up marketing methods.

For example, the limited edition commemorative medals of the Asian Games, gold inlaid with jade, are you jealous?
