Speaking of emerald watermelon, Mr. Zhuang Huo De pondered for a second, and his eyes immediately brightened up. He used to be the president of the Emerald Jewelry Association. How could Mr. Zhuang not know.

"Why do you ask this?" Elder Zhuang's eyes widened.

"Yes." Fang Heqing was also curious and asked. "Wang Ding, why did you ask about emerald watermelons for no reason? Could it be that your jewelry store has emerald watermelons?"

Wang Ding didn't know that the reaction of the two of them was so intense, but he didn't want to hide the two elders, so he said in a humble manner, "Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Fang, I don't have emerald watermelon in my jewelry store, but I got it out of a bet on stones some time ago." Such a material that is very similar to watermelon, I think it can probably be made into a pair of good emerald watermelons, but because I don’t know what the pair of emerald watermelons of the Empress Dowager Cixi look like, I can’t find relevant information on the Internet. So I thought of asking you two."

"Oh, you mean you have a material that looks like a watermelon? Want to restore this pair of priceless emerald watermelons?" Mr. Zhuang has seen many jadeites with strange shapes, but he has never heard of watermelons. However, Mr. Zhuang was not in a hurry to ask Wang Ding to answer. The next second he pondered for two seconds, and said, "I have never seen emerald watermelon, I think not only we have not seen it, even people who liked to collect it in that era It may not be possible to see it. But the reputation of this emerald watermelon is known to everyone in the jewelry industry. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi loved this pair of emerald watermelons like her heart, and she usually assigned special personnel to guard them. He sent someone to fetch them for fun, and even before he died, he was reluctant to leave the pair of watermelons, and buried them together in Dongling. Later, in the summer of 19 ([-]), Sun Dianying, commander of the Communist Party of China, dug the Empress Dowager Cixi's grave and buried the watermelons. The pair of watermelons and other funerary goods were stolen together. After the pair of emerald watermelons were released, they disappeared. After nearly a hundred years, the people who lived back then are almost dead, and it is almost impossible to verify. Now in the jewelry circle There are legends about the emerald watermelon, but no one can be sure what the real emerald watermelon looks like."

Even Mr. Zhuang, the president of the collection association and jewelry association, didn't know the information about the emerald watermelon, so Wang Ding was naturally disappointed.But Wang Ding didn't give up either. He looked at Elder Fang and wanted to search for some information. Fang Heqing said in a second.

"Wang Ding, like Mr. Zhuang, I have never seen emerald watermelons, but I think so. Since everyone has never seen emerald watermelons, I think you can create this pair of emerald watermelons based on the little information you have. The most important thing is not how similar the shape of the emerald watermelon is. Aren’t the watermelons all round? I think it’s about how big the emerald watermelon is. Is it a large watermelon in the north that weighs more than ten kilograms, or a small watermelon in the south? What’s the jadeite in it? The proportion of watermelon is four times that of watermelon. I think it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Cixi to play with a watermelon weighing more than 40 catties all day? So the most important thing is that you need to know the composition of emerald in watermelon. I heard that emerald watermelon seems to be in Taipei. It was exhibited in the museum once, maybe friends over there will know some information, I can ask for it for you, and provide it to you.”

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Fang."

"You don't have to thank me. I've helped you so much in the hope that you can repay the country as soon as possible. I think that once this pair of emerald watermelons can be successfully produced, you will be on the list of the richest people in Gancheng."

Who is on the list?

Wang Ding has never had a concept of money. After returning from gambling on stones, Wang Ding has actually been able to rank high on the rich list in Gancheng, and even is a pivotal figure in the entire Xijiang.

But when it comes to contributions, Wang Ding feels ashamed.Fang Lao's words awakened Wang Ding, and he could really do something with his current wealth.

Wang Ding's silence did not prevent the two old men from discussing the value of emerald watermelons.

Regarding the value of this emerald watermelon, Fang always calculated it for Wang Ding in this way. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Navy’s annual budget was 0 taels of silver, but the actual amount received was only about 100 million taels. At that time, one tael of silver was about the same. Equivalent to the current purchasing power of 300 yuan, the actual annual expenditure of the Beiyang Navy is about 3 million yuan.When the emerald watermelon was released, many people believed that it was worth 500 million taels of silver at the time, and it was one of the most important national treasures of the Qing Dynasty.

It is still impossible to imagine how much the emerald watermelon is worth. Fang Lao continued to explain that Qianlong spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on Qingyi Garden, the predecessor of the Summer Palace, and was later burned down by the British and French allied forces. Cixiang rebuilt the Summer Palace on the original site. According to expert research, Five to six million taels of silver were used.

Such a comparison shows that the value of a huge Summer Palace is almost the same as that of two emerald watermelons?

And equivalent to the current RMB, Mr. Fang told Wang Ding, it is 15 billion!

What Mr. Fang said was well-founded, but Mr. Zhuang had a different opinion. 15 billion was the price at that time, and now the price of jadeite has been skyrocketing. If the pair of jadeite watermelons are really auctioned again, it will definitely be far more than this price. They are all worth more than [-] million yuan. Only the cultural relics lost in the Old Summer Palace are in the tens of thousands. In the late Qing Dynasty, those things were nothing more than scrap metal in the eyes of Lafayette. This pair of emerald watermelons is A true country gem!Mr. Zhuang firmly believes that if it is broken into pieces, it can be sold for more than one billion yuan!

Knowing the value of the emerald watermelon, Wang Ding couldn't ignore the search for information about the emerald watermelon and the composition of the creative team.

Undoubtedly, Wang Ding himself wants to join in the creation. Wang Ding also believes that as long as he can see the image of the emerald watermelon, he will be able to perfectly complete the emerald watermelon according to the painting and carving skills of the jade plate.In addition to Wang Ding himself, Jin Long, Liu Tiezhu, and Yue Zhencang's team also entered the composition of this creation.

......

Yue Zhencang was sitting in the office, frowning. It seemed that Wang Ding's reward for the gambling stone was not so easy to get.

At this moment, Yue Zhencang, who was saddened by the case, felt that he was too comfortable when he started his business.

Worked overtime last night to produce emerald products on the high-end shelves. This morning, Yue Zhencang was woken up by Wang Ding's phone call, telling himself to immediately implement the matter of recruiting the deputy general manager of the processing plant, because the creation of emerald watermelons is imminent. The designer also stayed up all night, and went back to work early the next morning.

However, Yue Zhencang had nothing to say, because Wang Ding's QQ was also online 24 hours a day, so he took the lead and stayed up all night from last night to this morning.

Finally, Wang Ding found some information about the emerald watermelon from various sources, and in the morning Fang’s old friend passed on the information. Wang Dingxi got a black and white image from the sky, and that image was the one when the emerald watermelon was exhibited in the Taipei Museum. Photographs taken by collectors.

Although the photo was not clear, Wang Ding could still see the outline of the watermelon, and he could also estimate the size of the watermelon based on the size of other objects nearby.

After receiving the information faxed by Wang Ding, Yue Zhencang held a small meeting for the working group. At this time, Yue Zhencang's secretary came to Yue Zhencang's ear and whispered a word.

"You guys discuss first, I have a little bit to go out beforehand, Gubei, you are in charge here."

After Yue Zhencang finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave.

Gubei is Wang Dingwang jewelry processing factory, which is one of the best designers in the previous Yuejiashifang. He was promoted by Yue Zhencang, and he is already the chief designer of the design team in his 30s. Gubei smiled and said politely. Said, "Okay, Mr. Yue, you go to work, I will continue the discussion with everyone."

As soon as Yue Zhencang came out, the sound of hurried footsteps reached the ears of all the participants.

Deng Qiuping is the oldest member of the designer team. In this design team, her daughter Deng Rushan is also among them. Seeing Yue Zhencang and her secretary walk away in a hurry, Deng Qiuping snorted, "Yuejiashifang, no, it's the king's house." The Dingwang Jewelry Processing Factory has really changed, it looks like Mr. Yue has changed, he probably has received orders from Wang Ding again, and hurried over like a mouse."

Deng Qiuping speaks freely, and she is not afraid of being fired, because now she occupies half of the designer team, and her daughter is united with her, plus Zhang Shufen, who is close to her, and Shao Lin, who is close to her daughter. Absolutely unshakable.

Gu Bei turned pale, knocked on the table and reminded, "It's meeting time, don't say anything unrelated to the meeting."

"Hehe, the chief designer who has just been a few days ago has put on bureaucracy. Sister Deng, I think you are right. This Wang Ding Wang jewelry processing factory is no longer his decision. Yue Zhencang has the final say. And you Comrade Xiao Gu, the chair can’t be made for a few days, so don’t be complacent!” Zhang Shufen said,

Shaolin and Gubei are companies that are advancing forward and backward, and they think they have been performing well, but it was Yue Zhencang who promoted Gubei, so they are jealous of Gubei.

Seeing Deng Qiuping and Zhang Shufen condemning at the moment, they also joined the discussion.

"I think there is still a possibility for Mr. Yue to go out. Don't you know that our company wants to recruit a deputy general manager. Mr. Wang Ding Wang never thought of recruiting people from our team, and would rather recruit from outside. What does this mean? , It shows that Mr. Wang doesn't trust people like us at all. The chief designer is not the same as us. It is not certain that Mr. Wang will remove the so-called chief designer first if he shoots the first bird. He is simply not as good as us, and his job is about to disappear."

"Haha, yes, Xiao Shao's analysis makes sense."

"Ha ha."

"Shut up for me!"

With a snap, Gu Bei couldn't bear it any longer and slapped the table. When he slapped the table, he stood up abruptly and looked at Shao Lin fiercely.

"As I said, I'm in a meeting now. As for whether I will be taken down, it's not something you should care about. If you don't do what you should do, before I get taken down, I will take you down now."

With Gu Bei's stern roar, although Deng Shuping, Zhang Shufen, and Shao Lin were very dissatisfied, they no longer dared to show their inner emotions.

After quieting down, Gubei once again organized the ten designers present to start a discussion on emerald watermelons.

Here, Yue Zhencang rushed out not because of any notification from Wang Ding, but because an applicant came to apply after seeing the recruitment information of Wang Dingwang Jewelry Processing Factory on the Internet.

Wang Ding was very anxious about this matter, now that someone came to apply, Yue Zhencang thought to take a look first, if this person is good, save the opportunity to call her for an interview, if not, then let her come back It doesn't matter where you go! (To be continued.)
