    Mr. Yuan laughed loudly after seeing the sketch drawn by Meng Zitao. He praised Meng Zitao's restored Wei Tuo statue: "After all, he is worthy of being a professional. Let's carve it like this. Let's go and see the jade material."

    The old man got up and took everyone to his study. At this time, the servant said that someone was visiting, so Yuan Zeng went to receive him first.

    Although the old man was old, he walked vigorously. After leading the two of them into the study, he pointed to the raw jade stone on a wooden shelf and said: "This is a piece of 95 mountain material I bought a few years ago. Look at it.  Do you think it¡¯s suitable?¡±

    1995 mountain material refers to a batch of mountain material produced in Yutian Jade Mine in 1995. Because the amount of ore was too small, it was mined out that year.  A batch was produced in 1997. It was close to the 95 material. The texture and color were slightly inferior to the 95 material. The 1995 product was better than the 97 product, but the 1997 product was better than the current product.

    The reason why the 95 Yutian mountain material is famous is that it has been recognized by the jade industry as the best mountain material that can only be found in a century. Its biggest characteristics are excellent whiteness, delicate structure, no obvious structure to the naked eye, smooth fracture, and oily texture.  High moisturization.  Although it is made of mountain material, it is not inferior to Khotan seed material and can be said to be of mutton-fat grade. It is a rare jade material in the past thirty years, but it was not particularly valued at that time.

    And now, many jade friends are willing to spend a lot of money just to own a piece of "95 Yutian material".  However, it is now difficult to see "95 Yutian material" in the market. It can be said that it is hard to find.

    Mr. Yuan's piece of 95 Yu Tianshan material is about 50 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters high. It is a very rare piece of 95 Yu Tianshan material. It is probably the only one of this size.  of material.

    Therefore, when Meng Zitao and Luo Danran saw it, they were both surprised. They didn't expect Mr. Yuan to have such a top-quality piece of material in his collection.

    But precisely because of this, Luo Danran was under a bit of pressure. If the work could not achieve both spiritual and physical effects, it would be a shame for such a good material.  Of course, despite the difficulties, he was still confident that he could satisfy Mr. Yuan.

    Luo Danran compared the sketch with the original stone and said, "Mr. Yuan, there is no problem in using this material to restore the statue. However, I thought about it and decided to dispose of part of it. Do you plan to make this part?"  Jade, or what?"

    Mr. Yuan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want."

    "OK."

    Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zeng came in with two people. One of them, an old man in his sixties, was Mr. Yuan¡¯s nephew Tang Yi, and the other, an old man in his fifties, was a jade merchant.

    After introducing each other and being polite, they talked about the purpose of coming here, which was precisely for the piece of Yutianshan material collected by Mr. Yuan.

    Mr. Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Impossible, I have decided to carve this piece of material into a statue."

    Jade merchant Liang Xinhong said: "Mr. Yuan, let me help you find another piece of Khotan jade of the same quality in exchange. Do you think it's okay?"

    Mr. Yuan was unmoved: "Since you can find jade material of the same quality, why do you have to get it from me?"

    Liang Xinhong said: "To be honest, a friend of mine was looking for Yutianshan materials for the 1995 Yutian Mountains, and he specified that aniseed materials were required. I searched for a long time, but could not meet his requirements, so I asked Mr. Yuan to help.  I¡¯m busy.¡±

    How could Mr. Yuan change his mind so easily? It¡¯s not like he didn¡¯t understand the preciousness of his jade material. It was precisely because of its preciousness that he would use it to carve statues. Moreover, jade material of this quality could only be matched by seed material.  But is it easy to find such large seeds?  Even if he could find it, the price would be at least tens of millions. Liang Xinhong must have suffered a lot of losses. Is it possible that he would be willing to give it up?

    So, the old man said bluntly: "Boss Liang, with all due respect, it is not easy for you to find a piece of jade material of the same quality. It must be seed material. How can you guarantee that you can find such a large seed material?"

    Liang Xinhong hesitated for a moment: "Give me two months, I will definitely be able to find jade material that satisfies you. If not, I am willing to compensate you twice the price."

    Mr. Yuan smiled and said: "I am almost ninety years old. For me, time is measured in days. How many months can you give me to wait?"

    Tang Yi said with a smile: "It's actually not easy for Boss Liang. In order to find suitable jade materials, he has traveled all over the world. Just give him a chance."

    Mr. Yuan looked at Liang Xinhong and said, "Why do you have to help him find jade materials? Did you even sign a contract?"

    Liang Xinhong waved his hand: "That's not true, it's just that he did me a big favor and let meI won't go bankrupt, and I can't repay him, so I must help him achieve his wish.  "

    Tang Yi took the conversation and said a few good words to Liang Xinhong, nothing more than praising Liang Xinhong for his good character, high spirits, etc.

    Mr. Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Seeing my nephew's face, I will give you a chance. If you can find jade of the same size and quality within a month, then I will agree to the exchange."

    Tang Yi said: "Uncle, one month is too short"

    Mr. Yuan gave him a faint look and interrupted him: "It's only one month, not one more minute!"

    Hearing this, Tang Yi quickly swallowed the words that came to his lips. He knew his uncle's character very well, and any further verbosity would definitely arouse his disgust.

    Liang Xinhong said quickly: "Just a month. If I can't find it, it's my bad luck. In addition, the jade material is prepared for the statue. I want to take a look at the statue and know it well."

    Mr. Yuan nodded, and then Meng Zitao handed the sketch he drew to Liang Xinhong.

    Liang Xinhong frowned slightly after looking at the statue: "Mr. Yuan, I heard that your statue is from the Ming Dynasty. This statue of Wei Tuo seems to be in the style of the Qing Dynasty, right?"

    Hearing this, Mr. Yuan looked towards Meng Zitao.

    Meng Zitao smiled: "The style of Wei Tuo's statues in the Qing Dynasty is actually a continuation of the style of Wei Tuo's statues in the Ming Dynasty. This has been confirmed by relevant research. In addition, if you think there are some problems, you can also go and appreciate the current collection.  Let¡¯s compare it with the Ming Dynasty gilt bronze statue of Wei Tuo in the Capital Museum in Beijing.¡±

    Mr. Yuan said: "This is Zheng Anzhi's close disciple."

    Liang Xinhong originally wanted to question Meng Zitao's judgment, but after learning Meng Zitao's identity, he immediately put a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Meng Zitao and said, "Hello, Teacher Meng, I have long admired you!"

    Meng Zitao smiled and shook hands with him.

    Since the sketch was drawn by Meng Zitao, Liang Xinhong certainly would not ask for trouble and question Meng Zitao's judgment again. Instead, he changed the topic and asked Meng Zitao for advice, thus avoiding the previous embarrassment.

    For Liang Xinhong, when Mr. Yuan agreed, he had already completed half of the task. All he had to do next was to find the jade material, but it was obviously not easy to find jade material of such high quality, but as long as he spent some time  For a price, you can still find seed material.

    So, after agreeing on a time, Liang Xinhong left.

    Originally, Tang Yi planned to leave together, but Mr. Yuan stayed behind.

    "How did you know him?" Mr. Yuan asked directly.

    Tang Yi said: "Last year I traveled abroad and walked into an antique store. I saw a small silver powder box from the Tang Dynasty. The original one was worth RMB 100,000 and the imitation was a few hundred yuan. But the boss asked me to convert the price into RMB.  Ten thousand made me feel that I had picked up a big deal, so I wanted to buy him. Fortunately, I met Boss Liang and I was not fooled. "

    "I learned that he was also from Shangdu. After returning to China, we got in touch. Sometimes we would have tea together. I also made some money through him. Generally speaking, he is really a good person. He is very enthusiastic towards his friends and has a thoughtful mind.  Not bad either.¡±

    Mr. Yuan didn¡¯t say anything after hearing the introduction. He told Tang Yi a few words and let him go back.

    "Mr. Yuan, I will leave this jade material with you for now." Luo said calmly.

    "No need." Mr. Yuan said: "It's not so easy to find jade materials that meet such requirements. You give me an address. If there is no news from him in half a month, I will have the jade materials sent to you.  . If he can indeed find it within a month, then I will let him find you."

    To put it simply, he does not believe in Liang Xinhong¡¯s ability.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
