Hello everyone, I'm Brother Xuan.
Friends should be familiar with Song Meiling, Huang Huilan, Barbara Hutton, Puyi and others
And the above historical celebrities are inextricably linked to the jade king Tie baoting.
Like Song Meiling's twisted jade bracelet worth more than 100 million, Huang Huilan's "Huang Zhonghan Necklace" worth 20 million, and Barbara Hutton's jade bead chain worth 2.14, all of which are from the hands of Tie Baoting.
So where is this Iron Treasure Pavilion? How can you gather so many of the best jadeite?
Tie Baoting zu shang ran a jewelry shop in Beijing, and he has been working in the shop since he was a child.
When he grew up, he continued the way his ancestors bought goods from Myanmar and Xinjiang to Sell in Beijing, and was a traditional northern merchant.
Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the original famous nobles no longer had anyone to provide for them, and in order to maintain their lives, they could only sell their precious jewelry or antiques.
Tie Baoting sniffed out the business opportunities, so he received goods from these flag people and sold them to other celebrities, making a lot of profits from them.
Like the last emperor Puyi at that time, he was also stretched to the point of needing to sell jewelry cheaply.
On leaving the Forbidden City, Puyi took with him a string of jade beads given by Cixi.
This string of jade beads is a rare boutique, the beads are uniform in size, full of emerald green, and only emperors can wear them since ancient times.
Puyi's life at that time was already extremely poor, and he could only sell this string of imperial beads to Tiebaoting.
After receiving this string of imperial beads, Tie Baoting changed it into two jade bead chains and placed them in the Deyuanxing Jewelry Store he ran.
One day, Huang Zhonghan, the king of the Nanyang sugar industry, came to the store and took a look at the two jade bead chains.
He bought it on the spot and gave it to his two daughters.
The second daughter is the aforementioned Huang Huilan.
This string of jade beads can be described as a witness to the legendary history of the Huang Zhonghan family for a hundred years.
And at the Poly auction in 2010, it sold for 23 million.
By acquiring jewelry, Tie Baoting accumulated a lot of wealth and turned to the study of jadeite rough.
Once he found two pieces of material with excellent materials, rich in color and pure, transparent and pure in texture.
He made one of the pieces of material into 2 beautiful twist bracelets, which is a treasure of the world!
This pair of twisted bracelets attracted the attention of Du Yuesheng, the blackboard boss at the time.
Du Yuesheng then spent about 40,000 silver yuan to buy the twist bracelet and gave it to his wife Meng Xiaodong.
Later, when Meng Xiaodong wore this pair of twisted bracelets to the party, he met the jadeite master Song Meiling.
Song Meiling showed great interest in the twist bracelet, and she was still clinging to it when she left.
After various "coincidences", the twist bracelet finally reached the hands of Song Meiling, and now the valuation has exceeded 100 million.
The other piece of material was ground into 27 beads by The Tiebao Pavilion, forming a chain of jade beads.
The beaded chain was loved by a wealthy foreign businessman who immediately bought it for $50,000.
He then gave the emerald bead chain as a wedding gift to his daughter, Barbara Hutton.
Barbara Hutton was a famous woman in American history, and the richest man at the time, known as the "Billion Dollar Baby".
This chain of emerald beads bears witness to Barbara Hutton's ups and downs and imprints Herton's spiritual imprint.
At sotheby's auction in 2014, the beaded chain fetched a sky-high price of HK$214 million!
At the same time, it also set the highest auction record for jadeite jewelry, which has not been broken so far.
And the founder of the above-mentioned high-quality jadeite, Tie Baoting, is even more obsessed.
According to incomplete estimates, Tiebaoting's wealth can probably build two Qiantang River bridges, that is, more than 10 million oceans.
I am Xuan Ge, follow me, focus on sharing jade dry goods every day!
