Chapter 1229: Lin Ran’s plan
There were still some things that had not been settled before, and news came from Xu Mingwei that it would still take a month to complete the restoration of the cultural relics.
He wanted to take advantage of now to deal with the unfulfilled wish before.
For example, the shepherd girl I met in the Tibetan area told me that there was a craftsman in the tribe who could make dzi beads.
Of course, Dzi beads made by ordinary people cannot become Dzi beads in the true sense. They can only be meaningful after being consecrated by a living Buddha.
By chance, Lin Ran knew a living Buddha.
"For the first jewelry auction, I want to auction a Dzi bead." Lin Ran said.
Chen Qi didn't know what Dzi Beads were, but after Lin Ran's explanation, he got the general idea.
There are two types of natural Dzi beads.
The first type is Dzi beads made from conch fossils, also known as Dzi beads made by polishing.
The other type is Dzi beads polished from shale, which are commonly seen in the market.
Before, he and Zheng Xueming went to the market and uncovered the conspiracy of a liar selling dzi beads, offending someone.
The Dzi beads he sells are all synthesized through industrial means and are not valuable at all.
Lin Ran planned to visit the shepherd tribe again. With their simple traditions, he should be able to find raw materials.
She was on a mission at the time, and the shepherdess never called her.
"Interesting, according to what you said, Tibetan Buddhism mentions gifts from gods. If you make them privately, will you be punished by God?" Chen Qi became interested in Dzi beads.
He saw that the lotus dzi bead on Lin Ran's neck was exactly what he said. It looked like a lotus in full bloom, very solemn and solemn.
In the eyes of Tibetans, Dzi beads are called stones descended from heaven, which makes sense.
There were many related speculations in later generations.
Among them, meteorites hit the mountains near the Himalayas. Due to the impact and high temperature, a unique chemical reaction occurred, which led to the formation of the Jiuyan Shale.
After all, such cylindrical gems have not been found anywhere else, only in Tibetan areas.
It simply cannot be imitated elsewhere.
Moreover, the craftsmanship of making Dzi beads has actually been lost long ago.
The scammers I saw before used artificial coloring, and the color faded easily. This kind of deception is very easy to see through.
He was actually helping the swindler. If they ran into trouble and found out that the Dzi Beads were fake and came back to cause trouble, their shop would no longer be able to open.
This kind of liar is only suitable for one shot and another place, not suitable for opening a store.
I have a vague feeling that the craftsmen in the tribe are using ancient production techniques.
In the past, there were many Dzi beads in Tibetan areas, but for a while, Dzi beads were regarded as a kind of medicinal material and were widely used by the royal family.
As a result, the already small number of natural Dzi beads became even rarer.
The patterns on the outside of the Dzi beads are actually drawn directly on the stone based on the mantras recorded in the Vedas.
The specific method used to paint is unknown.
However, this method can prevent discoloration.
Later, the painting techniques of the Tang Dynasty were also incorporated.
Times have changed, and the natural Dzi beads that have been passed down are now extremely rare, with not many circulating in the market.
Only people in the industry will collect it, and the outside world is relatively indifferent to it.
Lin Ran didn't think this was a disadvantage.
The previous scammers only relied on loudspeakers to promote stories and attracted a large number of customers.
They can also follow the same pattern and use newspapers and short stories to create a marketing atmosphere for Dzi beads.
He wanted to connect the tribe in this remote area with the temple of Tenzin Odup and make a real Dzi bead.
Originally I just wanted to use it as a handicraft, but I thought this method would be a bit unfair to the Tibetans, and we still have to respect their lives.
They decided at the dinner table to make Dzi beads the highlight of the next auction.
Of course, he would not use the newly made Dzi beads in the first auction. He planned to go to the Tibetan area in person to search for a priceless Dzi bead.
At least six eyes or above.
It is not easy to get it in the capital, because the current transportation conditions are not developed yet, so it is still relatively backward.
However, there are a huge number of Dzi beads in the local area, so there is still a chance to find an authentic one.
Since he was going to the Tibetan area again, Lin Ran had also chosen his entourage.
Xu Ning's physical fitness and habits are similar to those of the people there, so he is the best companion.
The other is Guan Yun.
Lin Ran decided to leave the day after tomorrow, and Chen Qi lamented his strong execution ability.
"It's a pity that my pass is only for 15 days, otherwise I really want to accompany you, master."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Fortunately, Chen Qi could not go with him, otherwise this rich second generation would not know what trouble he would cause.
He is an investor and cannot be asked to do anything.
Therefore, the publicity and momentum work was handed over to Wu Ning. Unexpectedly, Chen Qi actually took the initiative to provide guidance.
"Speaking of creating topics, I have to tell you about the paparazzi in Hong Kong City." Chen Qi said proudly.
After Lin Ran's advice, he gradually understood the operation methods of several big bosses.
If he wants to become a successor in the future, he must learn how to build momentum.
"Then leave it to you."
"Put it on me." Chen Qi said proudly.
His bodyguard was a little surprised.
From their perspective, Lin Ran was the boss, and the young master became his subordinate.
This is the philosophy of management.
Although they were going to the Tibetan area, they were not going to the tomb this time, and there were not many preparations to make.
Xu Ning readily agreed to Lin Ran's request, and Guan Yun naturally asked to follow him.
Unexpectedly, Huang Hao also became interested.
I was just going to discuss business, but I didn’t expect so many people to come together.
Just think of it as a vacation.
Lin Ran directly notified all members of the team.
As a result, except Liu Jingfeng who said he had work at hand and could not leave, everyone else responded.
Think of it as a team building after experiencing a life and death battle.
"Let's go by car, what a wonderful journey to cleanse our souls!" A Ming suggested.
Thinking about taking the bus to Gansu before, I was already vomiting. This ten times the distance, no one was willing to accept his opinion.
"Let's take a plane." Wang Jinpeng held him down directly, "If you want, you can drive there by yourself."
"Can't you have some spiritual pursuits?" A Ming shook his head and put his hand on Lin Ran's shoulder. "I think Brother Lin has the same idea as me. He feels that driving there is more of a ritual."
"No need, I'm going to discuss business this time." Lin Ran swatted his hand away, "Let's drive there next time when we are free."
"It's just that when someone talks about business, you drive more than ten days to get there, and the business is already gone."
"Boss, why are we going to the Tibetan area?" Hong Wu looked at the lively crowd, confused.
"This is called team building. It means a team of people go traveling together." Lao Hei actually didn't understand the meaning of this word, so he had to tell him Lin Ran's original words.
The group booked flights to Hohhot and headed to another city without any equipment for the first time.
