After the two finished communicating, Yunyin had also seen most of what was going on.
After a detailed discussion with Yunyin, Miao Cuihua finalized the styles she wanted and finalized two sets of jewelry, including earrings, pendants, hair clips, rings, bracelets, brooches, and other accessories.
Because young people's jade jewelry tends to have simple designs, use less material, and emphasize exquisite beauty.
So even if you finish making two sets of jewelry, you'll never be able to use up this piece of jade.
Miao Cuihua then asked Liu Yihang to buy the remaining part of the jadeite for a fixed price of 1.2 million.
This piece of material is truly exceptionally beautiful and worth the price.
Miao Cuihua arranged for the payment to be made on the spot, and 6.2 million yuan was deposited into the account.
Liu Yihang's account balance is 26 million.
As for the design of the imperial green jewelry set for Lin Guihua, he left it entirely to Miao Cuihua to decide, since he himself didn't know anything about it.
Miao Cuihua's appreciation level will definitely satisfy Lin Guihua.
As for the stone-cutting machine that Liu Yihang wanted, it will arrive in a few days. We can arrange for someone to deliver it to his door. A small stone-cutting machine is not expensive. Miao Cuihua said she would consider it a gift from her.
After the discussion, it was lunchtime, so Miao Cuihua took them to a nearby hotel for lunch.
In the afternoon, Liu Yihang took Yunyin to see a movie and then to the ice rink to go ice skating, doing some things that young couples do.
I rarely get a holiday to spend with her, but I spent half of that time in Yunnan. Today is a kind of compensation.
Having been reborn for so long, this is the first time Liu Yihang feels like a young man, and he's doing things that young people like.
I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth.
However, one's mindset is ultimately different. When one is truly young, how much one envies others who can enjoy life without restraint.
However, now he can be like that too, living his youth to the fullest, but ultimately he no longer has the sense of anticipation he had in that life.
However, he still cooperated and played with Yunyin for an afternoon. Ice skating requires coordination of all four limbs, and you get used to it after playing for a while.
Yunyin was clearly very happy, even happier than when she went to see jade gambling and antiques with him. She was laughing like a child.
The two then went to the arcade and a nearby shopping mall, where they spent the afternoon having fun and buying lots of things.
The two strolled leisurely on their way home.
Liu Yihang was carrying the things, and Yunyin was holding her arm.
"Yinyin, I want to tell you something," Liu Yihang said carefully.
"What's wrong?" Yunyin asked, feeling a little uneasy when she saw his serious expression.
"Yes, I want to apply to change my major."
I've thought it over. My current major isn't very interesting to me, but I want to systematically learn about antique appraisal and restoration.
Ever since that old man who staged an accident in Yunnan accidentally sold him a Buddha statue.
Liu Yihang had an idea in his mind: he was eager to use his knowledge of antique appreciation to protect more things that people had overlooked.
Master Xiang Yizhai's knowledge of antique appraisal is sufficient for him; the rest requires him to gradually understand through practice and transform other people's knowledge into his own.
However, he still needs an opportunity to bring it out and use it.
After all, he was a complete novice when it came to antiques, knowing absolutely nothing about them.
Yunyin was taken aback. She had known Liu Yihang for many years and knew very well that Liu Yihang knew nothing about antiques.
He's now saying he wants to change his major and start learning from scratch. For a moment, she thought he'd gone mad.
"Why? You've already made more money gambling on stones than you could ever spend in a lifetime. Learning about antiques isn't something you can do overnight. You can achieve something great through gambling on stones too," Yunyin asked, puzzled.
Judging from Miao Cuihua's attitude towards him, Liu Yihang may indeed have a talent for gambling on stones that is not common to ordinary people. If so, why would he go to such lengths instead of seeking something closer to him?
Liu Yihang knew that she had misunderstood him.
"Yinyin, gambling on stones can make more money, and the excitement of seeing the stone skin open is intense, but it is still gambling. You can make money, but it's not the right way."
I met a man in Yunnan this time. He used to be very successful, with a thriving family business and a happy life.
Later, he became addicted to gambling on stones and could not extricate himself. His wife and children died because of his gambling on stones.
He cut off his own finger and vowed never to gamble on jade again.
This experience taught me a lot. The sense of accomplishment from gambling on jade helped calm my restless mind.
"Then let's not gamble anymore. The money you made this time will be enough for the rest of your life. Why bother with antiques? Have you forgotten the fake porcelain that Brother Yuan bought last time?"
While you're lucky, this isn't a long-term solution.
"Yinyin, I really love antiques. I love the glow they have and the sense of history they carry. Let me tell you another story!"
Liu Yihang briefly recounted his encounter with the elderly man who staged an accident to extort money on Shijie Street in Yunnan.
"When I first picked up this Bodhisattva statue, I felt that it had a very ancient and grand feel. Then I saw that it was made entirely of real gold, so I knew that it must be extraordinary. Therefore, I paid for it and took it away."
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about antiques, and I can't tell its origin, dynasty, or value, but at least I'm better than that old man who cheated me.
This incident greatly encouraged me. I realized that I love these things and want to protect them from being mistreated.
Just like the Bodhisattva statue I bought for two thousand yuan, it must have its own story, I just don't know it.
And the previous paintings of "Looking at the Spring and Listening to the Wind" and Jun ware porcelain—if no one had told me their value, I probably would have just taken them home and left them lying around.
It might get damaged by accident someday.
Therefore, I want to learn about antique appreciation to understand the profound and extensive nature of our Chinese culture.
Yunyin was surprised that he wanted to learn about antiques for such a reason, and she was touched.
She also apologized for misunderstanding him earlier, thinking he wanted to make money from antiques, realizing that she was ultimately driven by romantic feelings.
Liu Yihang gave a reason that was impossible to refuse.
“Then I support you! Go pursue everything you love and do your best in it,” Yunyin said firmly.
She also began to reflect on herself. Since starting university, she seemed to have become much more lax, only caring about romance and forgetting to plan her life and future.
Liu Yihang is working so hard to create a better future and change his life, so she should also work hard and not be satisfied with the present.
Young people should dare to think and act, strive to create, and actively learn and make progress.
