Tang Feng saw Jiang Yuan, but he really didn't expect Jiang Yuan would appear here. Jiang Yuan had just gotten into his car. To be precise, it was a convoy of three Hummers.

"Damn, our luck seems to be relatively poor." Chen Yan said: "Bronze eight silvers and nine golds are ten. In order to welcome the jewelry industry in September and the peak season in October, August is a traditional month to grab resources."

Tang Feng was about to speak when a voice came from behind him - I'm sorry, please let me go.

Found that he was blocking others' way, Tang Feng hurriedly moved away, and several young people walked past him. The young people's clothing was uniform, wearing the same baseball cap and the same jacket. The four words "Chinese Impression" were printed on the back of their jackets, and the character "Seal" was red, which felt like it was sealed on the seal.

"Hi!" Someone patted Tang Feng's shoulder. Tang Feng turned around and it turned out to be Liu Yue. Liu Yue smiled and greeted: "Mr. Tang, it's such a coincidence, hello."

"Why are you here?" Tang Feng asked.

"We are here to inspect Chinese Seal Culture." Liu Yue said: "I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Tang here."

"Oh." Tang Feng understood a little. Seal culture, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are called the four major traditional cultures in China. Last year's Beijing Olympics emblem - China Seal and Dancing Beijing pushed Seal culture to an unprecedented height. The national collection enthusiasm is actually just a manifestation, it is a manifestation of social transformation, consumption upgrading, and the recovery of traditional culture. The recovery of traditional culture is subtly affecting the entire China, and the same is true for the same in Seal culture. Expert research, college students' inspection, Chen Yan's colleagues' change careers, jewelry industry giants like Longbao Company's entry into the seal stone market, etc. are all concrete manifestations.

"Mr. Tang." Liu Yue's tone suddenly became particularly gentle. She said to Tang Feng: "You want to help us."

At this moment, Tang Feng was thinking in his mind that Jiang Yuan of Longbao Company has come. Will Yang Chengming of Han and Tang Baoye come? As Han and Tang Baoye enter the northern market, Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming have begun to fight in close combat, and the stone sealing market is the first battle. But he started to do the stone sealing business at this critical moment. How will Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming deal with him as a small character? Hearing Liu Yue's abnormal question, Tang Feng immediately became alert and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you any more."

Liu Yue asked, "Is Mr. Tang going to Yuyan Mountain?"

There is no way to hide this matter. Tang Feng nodded and said, "Yes." Changhua bloodstone was named after it was produced in Yuyan Mountain in the northwest of Changhua, Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province. The final destination of Tang Feng and his team was not Changhua Town, but Yuyan Mountain in Shangxi Township, the town. Yuyan Mountain is the source of the Grand Canyon in western Zhejiang. Although the altitude is only more than 1,300 meters, the mountains are surrounded by mountains and the steep mountains are stretched, so the mountains are dangerous and it is difficult to move forward. Jiangyuan and the others have Hummers to go up the mountain, and Tang Feng and the others also need to ride in a large-power car modified by locals.

"Then you will definitely be able to help." Liu Yue said: "Our itinerary is only to Changhua Town. Can Mr. Tang take us to Yuyan Mountain?"

Tang Feng said: "You can go all by yourself."

Liu Yue said: "We want to go to the on-site inspection of the mine deposits. If we don't buy stones, we won't be involved. It's different with Mr. Tang."

"But" Tang Feng had not finished speaking, Chen Yan agreed immediately without saying a word. He said, "No problem, we are going together. Miss Liu, I tell you, as long as we have us, you can go wherever you want."

Tang Feng had no time to listen to Chen Yan's nonsense, and he was shaking his head secretly. Women are really troublesome, especially women like Liu Yue.

"Thank you two." Liu Yue did not notice Tang Feng's expression, and happily ran to notify her classmates and teachers. In this case, Tang Feng could say anything else, so he had to bring them with him.

Archaeology is really an indiscriminate subject. Among the eight teachers and students, Liu Yue was a girl. After greeting them, ten people booked a modified car and drove from Changhua Town to Yuyan Mountain. Although the bloodstone had already started to be mined in large scale as early as the early Ming Dynasty, traffic was difficult to improve. This road with extremely poor road conditions took hundreds of years to build by local people, and ordinary cars could not drive in at all.

There is a simple market at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, which is the distribution center for bloodstone trading. It was already afternoon when Tang Feng and his friends came here. The mine of bloodstone is distributed near Kangshan Ridge of Yuyan Mountain. It is a narrow area of ​​only five kilometers. Since bloodstone itself is a precious stone species and the mineral veins have been mined, the price of bloodstone has also risen. In 2005, a piece of bloodstone called "Baling Chicken Blood King" and known as the number one in China was as high as 88.88 million. This bloodstone is only 35 cm long, 24 cm wide, 51 cm high, and weighs only 36 kilograms. The average price per gram is as high as 2,400 yuan, which is much more expensive than gold. More importantly, this bloodstone is still a Bahrain chicken bloodstone, and the market conditions are far less than that of Changhua chicken bloodstone.

Although the history of mining bloodstones has a long history, it still has to rely on manual mining and excavation. Locals usually go up the mountain to mine at dawn, and they can't transport the raw bloodstone down the mountain until dusk. Therefore, the transaction of bloodstones is carried out at night.

There was no hope of going up the mountain, so Tang Feng and the others had to find a hotel to stay temporarily. They said it was a hotel, but it was actually a renovated house. Outside several rooms there were a row of balconies. There were no big hotels in the market, and the farm hotel could not provide catering services. The group could only eat instant noodles. After Tang Feng made instant noodles, he glanced at Liu Yue who was also eating instant noodles on the balcony on the second floor. He smiled and walked over and said, "Oh, Miss, you can eat instant noodles too."

"I'm not a young lady." Liu Yue said while eating instant noodles.

Tang Feng asked curiously: "Can you be used to this kind of life?"

Liu Yue said: "Mr. Tang, don't underestimate me. How can I go about archaeology in the future if I can't endure hardships?"

Tang Feng uncovered the lid of the barrel instant noodles and ate instant noodles with Liu Yue. He said, "To be honest, I really underestimate you."

Liu Yue said: "The good family background is not a reason to be lazy. I also have my own pursuits. In addition, girls are no worse than boys. I won the second runner-up for women at the school sports meet?"

"Oh." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Only two people are participating?"

"Go to you!" As soon as Liu Yue finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers came from afar. Chen Yan walked up to the balcony and said to Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, today's bloodstone has come down. Let's go and have a look."

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It's going to be done soon."

After eating instant noodles in a daze, Tang Feng and Chen Yan walked out of the room. Some of Liu Yue's classmates were taking photos everywhere, while some turned on their laptops to chat online, obviously not interested in non-professional transactions. However, Tang Feng was not happy for a long time, and Liu Yue's teacher Zhang Fengchun also walked out of their respective rooms. Zhang Fengchun was in his forties and wore myopic glasses as thick as beer bottles, which were much higher than Chen Yan's glasses. After the four of them greeted each other, they walked out of the farm hotel together.

The market was not big, and the four of them arrived at the trading site within a few steps. They said it was a trading site, but in fact it was even simpler than the black market for cultural relics. A house, with a table next to the corridor, and a banknote detector was placed on the table. The people in the mountains were so simple and cute, and there were not so many rules. They were exempted from checking funds and asking people to watch the venue. Whether they bought it or not, they could go in and take a look.

Trading has not started yet, and customers can freely check the bloodstone rough stone waiting for transactions. Tang Feng looked around and saw only Jiang Yuan’s Hummer but not Jiang Yuan himself. The giant crocodile did not appear. Tang Feng felt much more at ease.

Soon, the gong sounded and the transaction kicked off. A buyer watching around Tang Feng looked at the time and said strangely: "Why is it a quarter of an hour early today?"

There is no red tape for the transaction that can’t be copied anymore. A group of people are bidding around the stones they want to trade. The higher the price will be. At the beginning, the first raw stone to trade is 200 kilograms. This stone is gray, either calcite or ground stone, this is the "ground" of the blood stone wool material, and the bright red spots on the surface of the stone are "blood".

Chen Yan said softly in Tang Feng's ear: "This stone is good, you can make a whole sculpture." This is Chen Yan's advantage. He knows carving and knows how to process the stone to maximize profits.

The quarry boss looked like a migrant worker. He said in Zhejiang-style Mandarin: "Everyone, the minimum price is 100,000 yuan, and you can bid."

Tang Feng was about to bid, and Chen Yan whispered in his ear: "Jiang Yuan and the others are here."

Tang Feng looked at Jiang Yuan and the others in a blink of an eye. Tang Feng made a quick decision and decided to quickly take down the stone before Jiang Yuan and the others arrived.
Chapter completed!
