Chapter 89 Looking for Jade
After a while, Pan Wenhua said, "I brought a thousand yuan this time. I sold hundreds of copper coins we bought last time. The money came in. I was really a little stupid at that time. This money was so much."
When we arrived in Hetian area, it was only 7:00 pm. The two of them found a guesthouse to check in, then ate the food, and then went around the street.
Long Jianhua asked people about the location of the jade processing factory and the place to pick jade from time to time. This is the place where the best jade is produced, and he cannot miss this opportunity.
Back at the guesthouse, the two were lying on the bed. Brother Sheng recalled the naan and mutton soup he ate for dinner, "Tsk tsk, the taste is good. I also eat mutton here in this weather. For us, we only eat it in winter and tonic in winter."
"This is the difference between the food cultures of the north and the south. The north eats mutton and dog meat all year round, but in the south, it is only late autumn, winter and early spring. The south has cooked rice noodles, while in some northern regions, it is the opposite, with cooked rice noodles."
As he chatted, Pan Wenhua screamed, "Jianhua, why isn't it dark yet? It's been ten o'clock."
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "Brother Wenhua, didn't you notice it? We drove 5,000 kilometers west, and we were two time zones apart, so we must be two hours late."
"Damn, we have worked ten thousand miles in ten days! I never thought that it would be so awesome. I haven't had a good night's sleep in ten days, go to bed! Get up at 9:30 tomorrow morning."
Long Jianhua smiled in his heart. Don’t think that it will be late in the morning; this season, it will be late at 6:30.
The next morning, Pan Wenhua, who was sleeping next to the window, rubbed his eyes and turned over and sat up. After looking at the watch, he howled and lay down again, "Jianhua, why are you getting up so early? Why is it so early this day? It's only seven o'clock, and it's bright outside."
After washing, the two of them had breakfast and returned the room after 8:30. Then they drove slowly to the entrance of the jade processing factory.
After entering the factory, the two found the factory director. He was a minority. Pan Wenhua handed him his work permit and explained his purpose - he wanted to bring some jade products back to the unit.
The factory manager enthusiastically introduced the factory situation to the two of them and took them to visit the factory production site; Long Jianhua asked about the raw material acquisition situation, and the factory manager told the two of them both the acquisition time and location.
It is purchased twice a year, usually before and after the corn is harvested; more than one kilogram of corn costs 200 yuan per ton, and the other costs 100 yuan.
Long Jianhua was shocked when he heard this.
The jade here has the best nephrite in the world, among which the seed material is the best among the best. Such a price is simply a bargain!
The two followed the factory manager into the warehouse and saw rows of shelves placed inside, with wooden boxes on them; each layer of wooden boxes on each shelf has one open, and you can see the things stored inside, which means that this layer is the same product.
Long Jianhua sighed in his heart. This is in such an era where such expensive things have no other security measures except wooden doors and iron locks.
The factory manager lamented that the sales were not good and that the product was too much backlog.
Long Jianhua was a little surprised, "Isn't there a procurement plan? Why are there so many backlogs?"
The factory manager shook his head, "I can't buy much." He pointed to the two rows of jade cabbage and said, "Look, this is the work of the country's most famous sculptor. At most, one can be sold every year. Now there are twelve of them. Look, there are names under the base."
Pan Wenhua gathered in front of a jade cabbage, "Why is there no name below this?"
There were eleven, but this one was not. He discovered it and his eyesight was really good.
