Chapter 686: Fierce willfulness
Hotan is actually a very beautiful place, especially in the 1980s, where there was almost no industrial pollution, and the scenery and air were even better.
The Baiyu River and Moyu River flowing down from Kunlun Mountain are like mothers' arms, gently wrapping Hotan in their arms, and at the same time bringing abundant water resources to Hotan, making this city on the edge of the desert an oasis.
The White Jade River is the nickname of the Yulong Kashgar River. This is the nickname because this river produces white Hetian jade. As for the Moyu River, it is the Krakashgar River. This river originated from the Karakoram Mountains is famous for its abundant production of black jade, so it is called the Moyu River by the locals.
These two rivers converge about 100 kilometers downstream of Hotan to form the Hotan River, and break through the blockade of the Taklamakan Desert all the way north, and eventually flow to the northernmost point of the Great Desert and inject into the Tarim River.
At this time, Hotan was far from as prosperous as twenty years later. Now Hotan is still a city dominated by agriculture. There are several state-owned jade carving factories in the region. In this era, it was considered the only industrial enterprise in the entire Hotan area. But now the benefits of these jade carving factories are half dead and cannot make ends meet.
Yang Jing's arrival has made these jade carving factories look forward to it. The managers of these jade carving factories are also hoping that their factories will be quickly acquired by foreigners. In this way, the jade carving masters in the factory can continue to support the whole family with their skills.
Since we want to acquire a jade carving factory to establish a wholly-owned company, we have to inspect these jade carving factories. However, Yang Jing will not do the so-called inspection, and it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Wu Dawei, but Yang Jing will follow during the inspection.
He followed him not to investigate, but to see how many good goods were stored in the warehouses of these jade carving factories.
As mentioned earlier, in this era, these state-owned jade carving factories mainly used to carve some large ornaments and then export to earn foreign exchange. Each of them was very willful, so some Hetian jade materials that did not meet the requirements often did not carve them into ornaments. These "not meeting the standards" materials would be piled up in the factory's warehouse.
The directors and employees of these jade carving factories don’t know that if they now think that these materials that “don’t meet the standards” are left for twenty years and just take out a piece of them, they will be considered the best!
When he walked into the warehouse of a jade carving factory, Yang Jing felt that he was so emotional after seeing the random "not meeting the standards" seed materials and mountain materials! Yang Jing felt that he was willful enough, but compared with the leaders and staff of these jade carving factories, he was just a low-key man!
You should know that in later generations, a piece of Hetian jade as big as a little finger, could easily buy hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it could also make people steal the head. Now, pieces of material the size of fists or even the size of a sea bowl are piled up casually in the warehouse, as if the most valuable stones...
Yang Jing really feels inferior to such a cruel willful manner.
Anyway, if it were thirty years later, Yang Jing would not be willing to give up such a large amount of seed or mountain materials and cover up dust in the warehouse.
The piece of Gobi material that Yang Jing bought from Zhongliwan, and the 1A-level Hetian jade that he had broken out of was already considered a treasure, and Jiang Bin, a master of jade carving, almost went crazy about this piece of jade. But now, most of the seed materials and mountain materials in the warehouse can't be said to be better than the piece of jade that Yang Jing took out, but most of the jade materials, both in size and in terms of jade quality, are better than the piece of jade that Yang Jing bought.
What is this not a waste of natural resources?
Looking at the dusty materials in the warehouse, Yang Jing's saliva was almost flowing down.
What investment should I invest? I will buy 50 million US dollars and take down all the materials in the warehouse. This is also a good thing that I have made a lot of money!
The materials in this half of the warehouse are hundreds of dollars in size, and they are all top-notch materials. Not to mention anything else, if these materials are stored in thirty years later, you will definitely not be able to take them down without billions of dollars!
But now, these materials that can cause sensation in later generations are still here like garbage.
These guys are really the willfulness of his sister...
In addition to the two cadres of the Regional Investment and Merchants Bureau who took Wu Dawei to inspect the jade carving factory, Ha Yiti, the director of the jade carving factory, was also there. However, the bearded manager knew very well that the manager Wu was not the final decision. If he wanted to turn the factory from state-owned to foreign capital, the foreign boss who was squatting in the warehouse had the final say.
But this foreign boss who had a warm spring breeze just now looked like a vicious dog seeing a pool of fresh poop... Oh no, it should be like a glutton who saw the Manchu and Han banquet.
That look was a little scary.
Ha Yiti took advantage of Wu Dawei's time to speak with the two investment bureau cadres and deputy factory directors, and quietly came to the foreign boss and squatted down.
Yang Jing was in a state of excitement and felt a person squatting beside him. He turned his head and saw that it was the bearded factory manager. This was a coincidence. He was about to ask the bearded factory manager, but he came to his door by himself.
"What are you looking at?"
"What about these materials..."
"What's the point of looking at these broken materials?"
"Well, just take a look. Anyway, I think these materials are good..."
......
Hayiti's Chinese is not as good as Yang Jing's escape. Moreover, he is an authentic Uyghur, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He squats and chats with Yang Jing like two old men in the rural area. To be honest, the scene is a bit inconsistent...
Of course, the greetings between the two were not so straightforward, but that's what it means anyway.
Ha Yiti was naturally not an ordinary person who was able to be the factory manager for so many years. When he heard that this foreign boss seemed to be interested in these materials that did not meet the standards in the warehouse, Ha Yiti immediately became excited.
Although these materials do not meet the standards, they are also quite good Hetian jade. Look at this seed material, look at the sugar crust, look at the shape. Although it is a little smaller, less than one kilogram, you can definitely produce a few jade tablets.
There is also that piece of material, which seems to be a piece of mountain material collected last year. It has a size, but the jade inside is not white and moist enough. If it is carved into a big mountain, it may not be able to export it and can only be sold domestically...
Ha Yiti didn't expect that as soon as he told this foreign boss about these materials, the boss was really interested, which immediately made Ha Yiti even more excited.
Hayiti tried to ask, "Mr. Smith, see if these materials are carved into big mountains, can they be sold abroad at a good price?"
"Carved into a big mountain?" Yang Jing turned his head and looked at the bearded factory manager with a strange look, then shook his head and said, "No, if these materials are carved into a big mountain, I don't think they are suitable..."
When he heard this, the bearded factory director's face suddenly collapsed, although Yang Jing did not finish his words.
"Oh...it's true. I knew I wouldn't have stored so many materials at the beginning. Sayer said that these materials were not suitable for carving Dashanzi, and foreign guests might not like them. It turns out that's true..."
Listening to the bearded factory manager talking to himself with complaints, Yang Jing was also a little stunned for a moment. Damn, my buddy hasn't finished what he said just now. I want to say that if these materials are left for twenty years and then carved, their value will increase by thousands or even tens of thousands of times! It is definitely inappropriate to carve them out now.
"These materials cost a total of about 500,000 yuan. What should I do now?" The manager of the big bearded man was a little anxious. The 500,000 yuan this year is not the 500,000 yuan in later generations. Thirty years later, the 500,000 yuan could not even buy a toilet in a commercial building in Yanjing, but in this era, 500,000 yuan is an absolute huge sum. Perhaps, except for the materials in half of the warehouse, all other assets of this jade carving factory are probably not 500,000 yuan.
When he first came to this jade carving factory, Yang Jing had talked with the bearded factory manager. Although this guy didn't speak fluently in Chinese, his personality was the kind of straightforward personality that Yang Jing liked more.
Seeing the man in his fifties looking worried, Yang Jing couldn't help asking, "Ha Yiti, do you sell these materials?"
"How do you take out these materials? Who wants them? Although these materials are not as good as those at the exit, they will be very good if you take them outside, so the price is quite high. Few people outside will have such prices..." Hayi said halfway through his words, suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Jing. He asked excitedly: "Mr. Smith, do you mean you want to buy?"
Yang Jing nodded with a smile, "Hayiti, actually, I like Chinese culture very much, and Chinese jade culture has a long history, and I like them very much. These materials are very good, I like them very much. I want to buy them, but I don't know if you agree?"
"I...you...this..." Perhaps the surprise came too quickly, and Hayiti didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yang Jing patted Hayiti on the shoulder, then stood up, pointed to the materials in the half warehouse and said, "Yes, I like these materials very much. I want to buy them in my personal name. Hayiti, you can offer a price. As long as it is not too outrageous, I will pay for these materials."
Hayiti finally woke up completely and stood up, "Mr. Smith, you have no problem buying these materials, but you are buying our factory..."
Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "This is two different things. Lao Wu has the final say in the acquisition of the factory. If you want to discuss the specific situation, I will not participate in it. Now I just want to buy these materials in my personal name."
"You really want to buy it?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I tell you this?"
