Chapter 164: Jade hidden in jade (2)
"Teacher, you...you and Teacher Yu both want to accept Fang Yi as disciples?"
This was the first time Zhao Hongtao knew about this, and he was shocked when he heard this. You know, Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan are both people with great identities in the industry. It is rare to be a disciple of one of them. Isn’t it that these two elders actually want to accept disciples together?
"I have to thank your teacher for this matter. If he doesn't nod, I can't accept it..."
Yu Xuan smiled and pointed at Sun Lianda, saying, "The ancients had too many rules, such as passing on to children but not girls. This has also caused many of the skills and skills of the older generation to be lost. Your teacher and I have been friends for decades, and this time it is a breaking the door..."
"Okay, Teacher Yu, this... this is a big deal!"
After hearing Yu Xuan's words, Zhao Hongtao slapped his thighs excitedly and said, "Two teachers, leave this matter to me. You two elders will list the list of people who need to invite. I will arrange the remaining venues and let the two of you be satisfied..."
Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan accept disciples, which is definitely a grand event in the antique industry. Zhao Hongtao can think of it. With the face of these two people, those older experts who are rare in daily life will probably gather in Jinling.
"Director Zhao, let me arrange this matter..."
Before Zhao Hongtao finished speaking, Lan Lian suddenly interrupted and said, "The two teachers' admission of apprentices can be considered a private matter. You are the director of the museum now. It is not appropriate to arrange such things? It would be bad if someone talks about it..."
After wearing the talisman drawn by Fang Yi, Lan Lian slept peacefully all night without taking sleeping pills yesterday. She really didn't know how to thank Fang Yi. When she left Yangzhou today, she had been thinking about helping Fang Yi get a disciple.
"Hmm? You said so..."
After hearing Lan Lian's words, Zhao Hongtao was stunned. If he wanted to help Fang Yi handle the matter of becoming a disciple, he would definitely use some resources from the museum. At the critical moment when he was about to be promoted to director, it was really hard to guarantee that this matter would not be used for the matter.
However, Zhao Hongtao didn't know that Lan Lian knew the domestic system very well and knew what people in the system were most afraid of. In order to prevent Zhao Hongtao from competing with her to organize the apprentice ceremony, she said that.
"Brother Zhao, let's do this matter..." Seeing the embarrassed look on Zhao Hongtao's face, Fang Yi said immediately: "I want to carve so many objects for Director Lan, even if it's the reward that Director Lan gave me..."
Fang Yi knew that she had helped Lan Lian so much. She had been trying every means to express her feelings and handing over her apprenticeship to her to deal with, which was also considered to have understood this cause and effect.
Furthermore, Fang Yi was very satisfied with Lan Lian's efficiency in doing things. She decided to go to Yangzhou yesterday afternoon. After arriving at the place, the hotel and other things were arranged, which also showed her ability.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Fang for giving me this opportunity..."
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Lan Lian showed a look of gratitude on her face. After trying the talisman yesterday, it did work for her. Lan Lian was both happy and a little nervous, afraid that Fang Yi would not care about the subsequent matters, so she would really be worse than death.
"There must be something between this kid and Lan Lian..."
Seeing Fang Yi ask Lan Lian to do the work, Lan Lian looked inexplicably grateful. Everyone in the venue was full of questions. However, Sun Lianda and others were all mature, but no one asked in person.
"Xiao Zhao, what do you think this jade among jade will be formed?"
Yu Xuan was really tired just now. After resting for a few minutes, he was already relieved. He was not interested in who would organize Fang Yi’s apprenticeship banquet, so he still focused on this piece of seed material.
Although Sun Lianda also knows how to distinguish jade, Yu Xuan knew that he did not have a deep study of jade. On the contrary, Zhao Hongtao has made his mark in domestic miscellaneous industries in recent years and is considered an expert, so Yu Xuan asked him the question.
"It should be the reason for the crust changes..."
Zhao Hongtao thought for a moment and said, "The formation of a piece of jade itself takes more than a billion years. It is formed by acid invasion rock eroding dolomite marble...
Today, the northern edge of the Kunlun Mountains was once a shallow sea area where there were a large amount of carbonate deposits, and the magnesium-containing dolomite was one of the main sources of jade. However, my inference was that the formation year of this rough stone was earlier than that of the shallow sea era…”
"Well? Do you dare to make bold decisions and tell me the reason?"
After hearing Zhao Hongtao's analysis, Sun Lianda raised his eyebrows, because the mainstream thoughts in the jade academic community nowadays, the jade ore in the Kunlun Mountains all appeared after the crust changes. Zhao Hongtao's argument that this raw stone was even earlier than that period, but no one has ever mentioned it.
"Teacher, according to the existing data analysis, the dolomite sedimentary stage was in the late Mesoproterozoic period, only a billion years away from the present, while the earth existed for more than 4.5 billion years. In the other 3 billion years, no one knows what happened in this crust?"
Compared with the older generations of Yu Xuan and others, Zhao Hongtao undoubtedly accepted more new ideas. After initially straightening out his own ideas, he said faster and faster. "So I suspect that this jade was most likely formed in the last Middle Proterozoic period. For some reason, it was involved in the changes in the earth's crust, which led to the phenomenon of hiding jade in jade..."
"The possibility you mentioned exists, and I have such doubts..."
After listening to Zhao Hongtao's analysis, Yu Xuan nodded and said, "The purity of this seed material is the highest among the jade I have ever seen, and even exceeds the level of white jade with mutton fat. If the quality of jade is just about it, it is probably far inferior to that Heshi Bi..."
Yu Xuan had never seen Heshi Bi, but according to historical materials, Heshi Bi should have been made of mountain materials, so although its historical value is very high, in the eyes of modern experts, the jade quality of Heshi Bi itself is still not as good as the top seed material.
"Teacher, how much is this seed material worth?" Zhao Hongtao and Yu Xuan discussed academic issues, but Fang Yi couldn't even get into the mouth. After the two of them came to an end, Fang Yi asked.
"How much does it cost? It won't be sold at no cost!" Yu Xuan glared at Fang Yi angrily and said, "Our country has been playing with jade for thousands of years. It is considered the ancestor of jade for many years. But such a piece of material has appeared for thousands of years. How much do you think it is worth?"
“It’s really…”
Fang Yi said he spoke and said that antiques are the most important thing. Although his jade is born from nature, it can be regarded as a piece of jade. At least until now, I have never heard of any such jade hidden in jade.
"Fang Yi, if we follow the current market conditions, this material can be worth 10 or 20 million yuan, but I guess that if it is placed ten years later, you may not be able to buy it if you spend 100 million yuan or 200 million yuan..."
Zhao Hongtao was more kind than Yu Xuan. He still gave the price, but he didn't recommend Fang Yi to sell it, because such a thing is likely to be just one in the world. It is easy to sell it, but it is difficult to buy it back.
"Brother Zhao, I just asked about the price, where would I sell it..."
Fang Yi is very indifferent to money. If this piece of jade is worth one or two million, he may sell it. However, after hearing the evaluation of Mr. Yu and Zhao Hongtao of him, even if someone pays 100 or two million now, Fang Yi will not take action.
"Well, that's right. Don't carve this piece of jade for the time being. I think it's better to let Hong Tao write an IOU, and you can keep this material in the museum..."
Sun Lianda also spoke, he didn't dare to say anything about such a valuable thing, and he helped Fang Yi keep it. The safest way is to put it in the safe in the museum, except in the bank.
