Chapter 391 Tengchong Jade Sculpture Competition

Ma Zhiyuan had to go to the countryside for a while, so he sat with Chen Ran for a while and got straight to the point. When he heard that the ancient calligraphy and paintings he gave him were a Dunhuang scripture, it immediately made his eyes bright. Although he was not an antique, he also heard of the name of Dunhuang scriptures, and he knew the value of Dunhuang scriptures and Meaning, but he heard that a pair of Dunhuang scriptures were worth millions. He took this price to give gifts, which was undoubtedly inappropriate. Fortunately, Chen Ran told him that this scripture was only a remnant, and then he was relieved.

"What's the matter with this boy?"

It was hidden from the old man to ask Chen Ran to buy him a pair of ancient calligraphy and paintings, so Ma Zhiyuan did not open it on the spot. After sitting for a while, he left with the scriptures with satisfaction. As soon as he left, the old man who heard the movement in the room came out, looked at Ma Zhiyuan's back and asked Chen Ran suspiciously. .

"It's okay, old man, I'll tell you a good thing. Yesterday, Zhang Shuchun and others were betting on agate stone at Dayun. Guess what kind of agate I cut?"

Chen Ran also knew that Ma Zhiyuan was hiding it from the old man, so when he heard the old man's question, he quickly changed the topic and talked to the old man about yesterday. He didn't want to show off this matter in front of the old man. With the big mouths of Zhang Shuchun and Huang Shang, everyone knew it. Anyway, he didn't want it. How long will it take to reach the old man's ears, so he simply told the old man in advance.

The old man felt good about Chen Ran's eyes. Hearing Chen Ran's words, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Did you cut out the fire agate?"

Chen Ran brought the poured tea and pastries to the old man and shook his head with a smile.

"Is it better than fire agate?" Seeing Chen Ran like this, the old man suddenly became interested.

Chen Ran said no: "Guess."

"If you have something to say, just say something and let it go." If the old man couldn't figure it out, he stood up and taught Chen Ran a fierce lesson.

Chen Ran smiled and said, "It's a great pink beauty."

The old man was stunned and asked doubt, "Really?"

Chen Ran nodded with a smile.

After Chen Ran's confirmation, the old man's face suddenly showed a stunned look. He looked straight at Chen Ran for a long time before exclaiming: "Xiaoran, I'm convinced of your luck. It's really unreasonable for you to meet this kind of excellent agate. I'm engaged in so much jade research. Nian, I have only heard of these excellent agates, and I have never seen them before. I didn't expect... This is your first time to bet on agate raw stone, right? For the first time, I made you bet on the best pink beauty, and you were really lucky enough to turn purple.

The old man was really surprised. Thinking of Chen Ran's luck, he didn't know how to describe it.

"Sir, I also bumped into it by mistake. The piece I cut was the waste that I always bought and cut. If I always cut it, how could it be my turn..." Chen Ran told the scene at that time with a wry smile.

After hearing this, the old man immediately laughed and said, "The boy who bought the big luck was very angry, but let you pick up a big deal. Well, you have handled it well. You can make money. If you can be kind, try to be kind. How to deal with that pink beauty? Such a good thing is a generation. It's rare. If you don't lack money, don't sell it. Keep it yourself. Agate is a mascot, and it's quite good to keep it as a heirloom.

The old man is still very satisfied with Chen Ran's treatment. When it's time to be peaceful, he will be calm, and when it's time to kill decisively, he will kill decisively. He has seen both of these from Chen Ran, which also completely reassures him.

"I know, that's what I think..."

Chen Ran nodded. He didn't plan to take action on that pink beauty.

"It's better to touch the stone gambling less in the future. You can play it casually, but don't expect it to make money."

The old man was quite relieved for Chen Ran, but despite this, he still vaccinated Chen Ran, so that Chen Ran would not taste the sweetness and be obsessed with gambling stones in the future.

Chen Ran naturally agreed, but with a bitter smile in his heart. Now he still expects to make money, but it is not easy to talk to the old man about this matter, so he can only agree to it first.

Seeing that Chen Ran agreed, the old man nodded with satisfaction and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly remembered something and stood up.

"Yes, speaking of this, I thought of one thing. Come with me..."

Although Chen Ran was a little strange, he quickly stood up and followed the old man into the house.

"In a few days, it will be the third 'Bianhe Cup' jade carving competition in Tengchong. Du Maosheng, president of the Jade Association of Tengchong, is an old friend. He sent an invitation letter to our association, and there are also three target places for the competition. I don't want to go far now. You have just taken office. Except for you, all the jade sculptors in our association take it. If you don't go out, I wanted to push it off, but after thinking about it, I'd better let you lead the team to go and have a look..."

The old man took Chen Ran directly to the study, took out a big red post from the drawer and handed it to Chen Ran.

Hearing the invitation from Tengchong, Chen Ran suddenly moved. In the past two days, he has been thinking about going to Yunnan. Although his energy aperture can detect whether there is jade in the stone, it requires a condition, that is, he must meet the stone with jade in it, otherwise, What's the use of him detecting that? Almost all the wool all over the country comes from Yunnan and Myanmar. Except for Yunnan, the wool transported to other places is basically picked up. Naturally, the possibility of jade is very small, and there is no doubt that it is different in Yunnan, that is given to him one by one. Baoshan, the transaction is legal. No matter how small the possibility of jade, how can it make a lot of money?

For him, this is also a primitive accumulation. If he makes a lot of money, he can spread the situation and stand firm in Tianzhong City as soon as possible. Now he is very powerful in Tianzhong City, but in fact, it is just a paper tiger. If he does not stand firm as soon as possible, the result will be hard to say. Such a huge thing as the Zheng family is in him. If he loses face, how can he not find the scene? Once the Zheng family is allowed to find the scene in his hands, his current power in Tianzhong City will undoubtedly be gone, and even the situation may not be the same as before.

So he must stand firm in Tianzhong City and want to stand firm before the Zheng family finds the scene. At present, he has only one way, that is to take out a large amount of money to smash it. Now it is economic society. Everything depends on the economy. The economy is the general trend. In the face of the general trend, everything stands aside and you take the money to invest. Capital is to repay the country, and the country will protect you. To what extent it can protect you depends on how much capital you have.

"Old man, can I go? If something goes wrong, won't it blacken your old face?"

Although Chen Ran wanted to go to Yunnan, he was still a little hesitant to lead the team to participate in the Jade Sculpture Competition in Tengchong.

You should know that the Tengchong Jade Sculpture Competition is not a Peony Cup Competition held by Zhongyuan Province. Whether the competition held by Zhongyuan Province is a provincial competition or a newcomer competition, and the Tengchong Jade Sculpture Competition is national. As long as you are a domestic jade sculptor, you can participate in such a competition, even Chen Ran can't guarantee that he can get a good ranking. Unexpectedly, the jade sculptors across the country are also hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Maybe there are five-level jade sculptors participating in the competition. This is also the reason why the old man said that the jade sculptors of the Tianzhong Jade Association can't get out. The jade sculptors of the Tianzhong Jade Association are all third-level jade sculptors and second-class jade sculptors. When they get there, they directly sink into the sea.

The reason why Chen Ran hesitated is that he is a little worried about his qualifications. Even if he is not a judge, he will have to participate in the relevant jade research conference. In contrast, his qualifications are naturally a little shallow.

Hearing Chen Ran's words, the old man laughed and waved his hand and said, "What can you do? I say you can do it, and you can do it. Xiaoran, don't underestimate yourself. The knowledge you have now is absolutely not worse than that of us old guys. You are only poor experience. It is because of your lack of experience that you let you go. If you don't do it, you can't have experience. You can't be familiar with everything until you've done it. It's also good for you to increase your knowledge there.

The old man said so, and Chen Ran could only nod his head and agree. Anyway, he would go there, which was just right.

Seeing Chen Ran agree, the old man nodded contentedly. Man, once he was idle, he didn't want to be busy. That's how he used to run all over the country and didn't feel anything. Now he has been idle for so long, he is too lazy to run again, so he quickly wants to push Chen Ran out. When Chen Ran followed his connections, he would naturally take over his position.

After agreeing, Chen Ran humbly asked what problems he would encounter in the competition. The old man told him to prepare well in these two days before letting him leave.

Leaving the old man, Chen Ran has been thinking about this matter. In addition to preparing for the things on the jade association, he naturally needs to prepare well.

On the way home, Chen Ran was thinking about this matter. On the way, he received a phone call from Zhu Feng, saying that several luxury cars he had ordered were brought back and asked Chen Ran to have a look.

Chen Ran couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect this guy to really take it seriously. Now he doesn't have the spare money to change the car, but Zhu Feng helped him so much and invited him so mercilessly that he had to go and have a look.

agreed with Zhu Feng that Chen Ran went home first, and only the overlord and Bai Lei were at home. Chen Ping went to the city to inspect the market. Li Yuzhi accompanied Chen Xiaomei all the way these two days, and Chen Xiaomei will pass the recruitment exam in a few days.

Chen Ran called Li Yuzhi and drove to Chen Xiaomei's school gate.

"Brother."

Not long after Chen Ran arrived at the gate of Chen Xiaomei's school, Chen Xiaomei came out of school and came out of the school gate. When she saw Chen Ran, she cheered in surprise and jumped over and jumped into Chen Ran's arms.

"You girl really have no conscience. I come to pick you up every day, and I haven't seen you so happy. Your brother came to see you happy..." Li Yuzhi, who stood aside, curled her lips unhappily.

"Mom, you are even jealous of my brother. Are you ashamed..." Chen Xiaomei hugged Chen Ran's arm affectionately and quarreled with Li Yuzhi with a smile.

"You damn girl." Li Yuzhi angrily stretched out her hand to slap Chen Xiaomei up, but she dodged with a smile and threatened Li Yuzhi and said, "Mom, if you hit me again, it won't be good to you when I grow up. What will you do?"

"I expect you to be good to me. I'll wait to starve to death for the rest of my life." Li Yuzhi was angry.

"Okay, how to speak."

Chen Ran reached out and patted Chen Xiaomei's face and laughed.

Li Yuzhi hummed twice, and Chen Xiaomei hugged Li Yuzhi's arm with a smile. They didn't know what they had whispered. After a while, they made Li Yuzhi laugh.

Take their mother home, call Wang Liang, ask him to eat at the sword factory, and pick him up in the afternoon. Chen Ran accompanied his family to eat at home. After dinner, he drove to the city with the overlord and Bai Lei, made a phone call with Zhu Feng and went straight to Zhu Feng's villa...
