"I'll tell you something, and you'll know the value of this thing. Zhang Tianyuan saw that Liu Mengxun still refused to believe the value of this stone, so he smiled and said.

"Well, I like to listen to stories before I go to bed, so maybe I'll fall asleep while listening to them, hehe. Liu Mengxun said with a smile.

"I really can't help you, but you have to listen carefully, a few years ago, the imperial capital held an art exhibition, during which the main works on display were Tianhuang stone, bloodstone, Qingtian stone carving. ”

"Shou Shan Tian Huangshi?"

"Yes, the Tian Huangshi mentioned here is Shoushan Tian Huangshi, China's arts and crafts master Ni Dongfang's Qingtian sealed door three-color stone carving "Pine Crane with Spring", Zhang Aiting's Qingtian stone carving "Mei Kaixiao", Guo Maojie's Tianhuang stone carving "Spring River Plumbing", Tian Huang Frozen Boyi carving "Five Blessings", China's jade carving master Lin Fuzhao's Qingtian stone carving "Eighteen Arhats", Qian Gao's chicken blood stone carving "King Qian's merit map", Zhang Aiguang's Qingtian sealing door stone carving "Old Pile Dream" and so on...... Bringing together 800 pieces of Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Changhua bloodstone, and Bahrain stone carving works worth more than 80 million yuan, it can be said that the lineup is strong and the value is quite high. ”

"The total value is only 80 million, not even 100 million. Liu Mengxun pouted and said, maybe he has seen more big money, but he doesn't care much about this kind of small money.

"Don't worry, listen to me, in this exhibition, Shoushantian Huangshi, which has been popular in the collecting world in recent years and whose prices have skyrocketed, and Changhuatian Huangshi, which appeared for the first time in the imperial capital, have become the focus of attention. ”

"Oh, is that the kind of cottage Tianhuangshi that Uncle Mu said?" asked Liu Mengxun.

"Let's just think so. Zhang Tianyuan did not argue with Liu Mengxun, but continued: "This exhibition can be described as a collection of master works. Shoushan Tian Huangshi alone, there are more than 100 pieces of 95 grams of Tianhuang stone carving "Mu Gui" carefully created by Guo Maojie, an 82-year-old jade carving master in China, and "Jinjie" and "Qiujiang Landscape" created by Shi Yan, vice president of Shoushan Stone Culture and Art Research Association of Hujian Province. The total value of these Tianhuang stone carvings exceeds 40 million yuan. ”

"Shou Shan Tian Huangshi is really valuable. Liu Mengxun's eyes lit up a little.

"But in these more than 100 Tianhuang stone carvings. The most eye-catching is the Tian Huang frozen thin carving "Fengqi Wutong" created by Shi Lu. A blood-red phoenix is carved on this Tianhuang stone. As well as the verdant plane trees and many white clouds, the mass reaches 104 grams, although it is not the largest in the exhibition, but the quality is extremely high, under the illumination of the flashlight, it looks moist and clear, amazing. This piece of "Fengqi Wutong" is worth 28.4 million yuan, nearly 30 million! The average value per gram is close to 300,000 yuan, and it deduces the legend of 'one or two fields of yellow and five hundred taels of gold'. ”

"300,000 per gram, are you kidding?" Liu Mengxun was stunned. If it is 300,000 per gram, wouldn't that kilogram of stuff be ridiculously expensive?

This is not a joke, but there is a follow-up to this matter, Shi Luan admits that this Tianhuang stone is actually Changhua Tianhuang, and the blood-red phoenix is actually a phoenix carved from the chicken blood on the Changhua Tianhuang stone. ”

"That would be a big drop in price, wouldn't it?"

"You are wrong, not only has the price not decreased, but it has also increased, originally close to 300,000 yuan per gram. Later, it was fried to more than 1 million yuan per gram, and after calculation, 100 grams of things were sold for more than 100 million. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "His piece of Changhua bloodstone is not as good as mine." It's worth so much, but my piece is close to two kilograms, even if it is lost in carving. There are more than 1,000 grams, and the value should be at least more than a billion. ”

"This. Isn't this comparable to the glass jade necklace you gave me before, no? It's much more expensive than that, compared to the necklace you gave me when I got married last time, it's even more valuable, crazy, if Uncle Mu knows about this, he will definitely go crazy. Liu Mengxun covered his mouth and looked around in horror, for fear that someone would eavesdrop on the side.

"What do you think, why don't I dare to let Uncle Mu know, I'm afraid that he won't be able to stand it, such an expensive thing, he actually sold it to me for 80,000 yuan, which is too cheap. Zhang Tianyuan nodded.

Liu Mengxun was completely stunned, she may still think for the first time, this playing with stones, it is simply robbing money, if you know how to read stones, and others don't understand, then this stone circle will become your ATM, don't worry about spending money at all, no wonder her husband likes to gamble on stones, this thing is not only fast money, but also so exciting.

"Husband, thank you for my good luck, hehe, it seems that you have been lucky since you met me. Liu Mengxun blinked and smiled.

"Haha, that's that, I can have today, thanks to your wife, your fortune. In this matter, Zhang Tianyuan would rather Liu Mengxun take all the credit, anyway, he will not have the slightest loss, but can be a little more low-key.

If others say that Liu Mengxun has good luck, then his good luck is equivalent to one more way to explain.

To be honest, when he was in the warehouse at that time, Zhang Tianyuan was very nervous, what he was most afraid of was not what others would see, but that he would be excited and couldn't help but shout, such a good thing is really the best that can be met but not sought, if you can ask the master to carve it again, then it will definitely not be cheaper than the thing carved by the stone madness.

After all, this stone itself is better than that, and if he invites a more powerful master, such as his other identity "Tianyuan Jade Emperor", then this value will definitely increase a lot.

Inside the wrapped stone skin, the fresh and bright red chicken blood seemed to be able to flow, so that Zhang Tianyuan mistakenly thought that this stone really bleeds at first, and later realized that it could not become a fine after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he didn't shout out, otherwise, this good thing would only cost a thousand times more to buy it.

What is Living Blood?

It is to make the blood bright red, as if it can flow, not solidify there, and it is precisely this field of yellow chicken blood that meets this point, not only the snow is all over the area. And the naturally formed patterns are so exquisite, as long as they are slightly carved. You can maximize the value of the stone itself, and it will not be ruined.

To know. Sometimes the rough stone itself is taller than the carved product, not because people don't like art, but because too many good stones are ruined.

Chen Shi, president of Hu Jianshoushan Stone Culture and Art Research Association, revealed that the collection of Shoushan stone can not only look at the texture of the stone, but also look at the artistic level of the carver. At present, there are 100,000 practitioners of Shoushan stone, but there are only 4 national arts and crafts masters who carve Shoushan stone, and there are 30 provincial masters of Hu Jian, and the appreciation potential of their works is relatively large, and some carvers. Although it is possible to obtain a very good quality stone through various channels, after carving into a work, it is not as valuable as the original stone, because the good material has been carved.

Bloodstone, hibiscus stone, etc. are the same, including jadeite, it is also a truth, the things carved out by the hands of the masters, and the things carved out by ordinary people, that are completely different.

According to preliminary statistics. Only 30% of the high-quality Shoushan stone rough stones, bloodstone rough stones, hibiscus stone rough stones, etc., are carved into works with high artistic value by masters, and 70% are wasted by low-level carvers.

It's an outrageous waste.

You may remember the amber that Zhang Tianyuan got in Hong Kong, that is, it was thought to be carved at the beginning and then ruined. So the value was greatly depreciated, and later Zhang Tianyuan used the tonic trick to restore the amber to its original state. Then leave it to the design master to design the zuò, so that it will not be wasted.

He's thankful that he has more than just a word telling. There is also the tonic formula, because the tonic can help him restore the good things that have been ruined back to their original state. In the future, he also plans to try to buy those Tianhuang stones, bloodstones, etc., which have been carved by ordinary people, and then hand them over to the master to carve after their own restoration, which can not only make these precious stones play their greatest value, but also earn the difference in price, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

For example, this piece of Changhua bloodstone, Zhang Tianyuan has seen a lot of bloodstone and Tianhuangshi ornaments before, but compared with this stone, it is slightly worse, he can definitely assert that such a thing will definitely set off a storm in the collection world, and there will definitely be people who break their heads and rush in to get it.

You know, as the storage of bloodstone is getting smaller and smaller, Tianhuang stone has almost disappeared, it seems that this kind of stone with the characteristics of both Tianhuang stone and bloodstone is too difficult to find, Lao Mu has lived under Yuyan Mountain for so many years, and he has never seen a stone like this, let alone such a good Tianhuang bloodstone.

"By the way, husband, how did you identify these stones, if you want me to see it, on the surface, this thing is no different from ordinary Changhua Tian Huangshi, if you can see it, then Lao Yu Shopkeeper and Old Uncle Mu should also be able to see it, right?

Liu Mengxun has just woken up from her sluggishness, her eyes are full of adoring little stars, her husband is so powerful, then of course she will be happy, what woman doesn't want her man to be a capable person?

"Mengmeng, you really regard me as a great immortal? I don't have that ability, you know, I like to gamble, business is gambling, gambling on stones is also gambling, just now, I just thought this thing was an ordinary Changhuatian Huangshi, I really just want to buy it back and carve it myself to play, this is not a waste of things, but who knows that after unraveling the stone skin, I found that this stone is much better than I imagined. ”

Zhang Tianyuan has now been completely tempered, making up reasons, fabricating similar lies without even blinking a brow, and coming by the way, hearing Liu Mengxun nodding again and again, without the slightest suspicion at all.

If you want to ask which one is stronger in making up nonsense, the Chinese emperor is looking for Tianyuan!

He doesn't make up nonsense now, he even makes up stories one by one, no way, who lets himself have a secret that he can't explain to others anyway, even if it's his wife, and now he can only continue like this.

In fact, he didn't feel bothered, and when he made up this kind of nonsense, he didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to hide his secret.

"I'll just say, no wonder you won that gambling in Hong Kong, I think you have always had a talent in this area, but unfortunately, if you were born decades earlier, you would be the real God of Gambling in movies. (To be continued......)
