Wang Jiayu refers to the Wang family in the "Flower Gate" of Songyuan, and the Taiji Bridge on the Tengchong Dieshui River was built by the Wang family during the Republic of China period.
The ancestors of the Wang family have been in business in China and Myanmar, and there are many types of business. Wang Shaoyue, the second generation of the Wang family, has a special love for jewelry and jade, and he was in the jade factory at the age of 18, studying and speculating every day. He was particularly interested in the "blinded" stone and accumulated a wealth of experience with Xiangyu (that is, the gambling stone we are talking about now, which used to be called Xiangyu!). It is said that he can see jade to achieve "three points into the stone" and become a well-known xiangyu master in China and Myanmar!
Wang Shaoyue also has a set of jadeite sales. According to customer needs, he divided his family's "Wang Jiayu" into four "Zhuangkou" (that is, four categories): the color water is called "Shangzhuang", and it is sent to Shanghai for sale; Slightly worse color water is called "Guangzhuang" and "Gangzhuang", which is sent to Guangzhou and Hong Kong for sale; The color and water are worse, and the big ones are called "Beipingzhuang" and sent to Beijing for sale.
"Wang Jiayu" is most famous for its jade ring face. In ancient times, China's jade carving rings were generally saddle rings, rings and the like, and the processing cost was high, and foreign countries did not like it.
Wang Shaoyue has an international perspective, he improved the ancient ring processing method according to the requirements of the international market, and polished the "water duck" ring surface with high-quality and high-grade "grass yellow" jadeite. In 1930, a 2-carat ring was worth more than $100,000 in the international market!
