After Beijing's successful bid for the 2008 Olympics, the whole country celebrated. The Olympic economy stage built by the Olympics has created many internationally renowned brands, which can be said to be an economic express train leading to the world. If the popularity of the Kunlun jade in Qinghai can be enhanced through the Olympic Games, it will definitely be known to the world once and for all. At that time, Qinghai Province had applied for the Tibetan antelope as the Olympic mascot, and Mr. Liu Shengchun, the chairman of Qinghai Golmud Kunlun Gemstone Co., Ltd., proposed to donate the large-scale Tibetan antelope jade handicrafts carved in Qinghai Kunlun jade to the permanent collection of the Olympic Organizing Committee, but the plan was rejected after the release of the Fuwa series of Olympic mascot mascots in Beijing. Subsequently, a plan was proposed to award award-winning jade medals to Olympic athletes, and the consultation with the Olympic Organizing Committee by the China Jewelry and Jade Industry Association was also rejected. The Olympic trip of Kunlun Jade in Qinghai was unpredictable for a while. On March 27, 2007, the Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games officially released the Olympic medal plan, determining the "gold inlaid with jade" style. The medal designer is the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, and the medal samples are provided by Beijing Gongmei Group. The gold medal samples are Qinghai Kunlun jade, and the silver and bronze medal samples are Xinjiang Hotan Jade jade. After hearing the news, people from all walks of life in Qinghai, especially those in the jade industry, were very excited, At the same time, famous jades such as Hotan Jade in Xinjiang, Xiuyan Jade in Liaoning, Dushan Jade in Henan are also actively preparing for the "Olympic bid". Moreover, from a historical point of view and popularity, Qinghai Kunlun Jade cannot compete with these "ancient kings" put on a par with. However, the people in the Qinghai jade industry were not discouraged, but were more active in planning and operation. At that time, most merchants in the Chinese jade industry were pondering how to seize this lucrative business, but the Kunlun jade industry in Qinghai had completely different considerations. They were more concerned about how to use this opportunity to establish the reputation of "Kunlun jade" rather than commercial interests. After negotiations among the main members of the Qinghai Jewelry and Jade Industry Association, a decision that surprised other competitors has become a consensus in the Qinghai jade industry: donating jade. No matter how much it costs, this matter must be done. We donate jade and aim to get it. We Kunlun jade go global and aim to get it. "Subsequently, Qinghai Jade Industry actively contacted the government to operate, and actively contacted the Olympic Organizing Committee in Beijing. On April 5, 2007, Liu Shengchun, the Chairman of Golmud Kunlun Baoyu Stone Co., Ltd., proposed to convene a board of directors to study and decide to submit the "Application Report on Providing Qinghai Kunlun White Jade Raw Materials for Free to Sponsor the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games" to the Golmud Municipal Party Committee and Government. At the same time, he also reported to the Provincial Party Committee and Government, and Qiang Wei, the Secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, gave important instructions. On April 12th, at the request of the Olympic Organizing Committee, a "Letter of Intent to Donate Qinghai Kunlun White Jade Raw Materials" was submitted, and a "Commitment Letter on Providing Qinghai Kunlun Jade as Medal Materials for the 2008 Beijing Olympics" was submitted to the government. The letter requested the provincial government to provide the company with an estimated value of 16 million yuan for Qinghai Kunlun Jade (white jade, blue white jade, blue jade) materials, Request for free provision of all jade and stone materials required for the production of Olympic medals to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee in the name of the provincial government. On April 14th, the Qinghai Provincial People's Government submitted a request to the Beijing Organizing Committee for instructions on using Qinghai Kunlun Jade as a medal material for the 2008 Beijing Games. At this point, Qinghai Kunlun Jade officially kicked off its bid for the Olympics under the model of enterprise operation and government promotion.On May 8, 2007, Qinghai Golmud Kunlun Baoyu Stone Co., Ltd., at the request of the Olympic Organizing Committee, provided two sets of Qinghai Kunlun jade with different polishing effects produced by two jade carving factories in Beijing and Yangzhou for the Olympic medal inlay jade ring product, and preliminarily identified the quality and color of Qinghai Kunlun jade. After identification, the quality of the jade is very good, but the color is slightly different from the sample. The color quality of white jade is much better than that of the sample, and the difference in color between blue and white jade should be as close as possible during material selection. At the beginning of June 2007, the Olympic Organizing Committee organized an expert demonstration meeting on jade for Olympic medals. The meeting rejected the plan to use Qinghai Kunlun jade for all Olympic medals, and the experts proposed the plan to use Hotan Jade, Kunlun jade and Xiuyan jade for gold, silver and bronze medals respectively. When Lin Yibei, the director of medal production at the Cultural Activities Department, informed the situation, Liu Shengchun and others immediately reported to the provincial party committee and government, while coordinating with the Cultural Activities Department to request the organization of a higher-level expert argumentation meeting. The Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee has agreed to this approach. Later, led by the China Jewelry and Jade Industry Association, the Olympic medal jade selection expert demonstration meeting was held, consisting of five experts, including Wei Changhai, Deputy Director of the Professional Committee of the China Jewelry and Jade Industry Association, Ao Yan, Secretary General of the Jade Branch of the China Jewelry and Jade Industry Association, and Jiang Chunyuan, Xue Chunmei, and Gao Yijin, the Chinese arts and crafts masters. The meeting discussed whether Qinghai Kunlun jade can represent the best quality jade in China and the advantages of using Qinghai Kunlun jade as a material for making Olympic medals. Finally, it is agreed that Qinghai Kunlun Jade and Hotan Jade in Xinjiang belong to the same vein, and are basically the same in material composition, occurrence and structural characteristics. It is one of the best jade species in China. As the Olympic medal material, Qinghai Kunlun Jade has incomparable advantages over Hotan Jade and other jade species, such as sufficient reserves of raw materials, complete varieties of colors, large blocks, easy selection and low prices. The argumentation committee submitted the "Expert Opinion on Qinghai Soft Jade Used for Making Olympic Medal Materials" to the Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee, which reversed the unfavorable public opinion of Qinghai Kunlun Jade's bid for the Olympics, laid the foundation for selecting Qinghai Kunlun Jade for all Olympic medals, and provided a basis for the scientific decision-making of the Olympic Organizing Committee. On July 11, 2007, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games officially replied to the Qinghai Provincial People's Government's Letter on Agreeing to Accept Donations to Use Qinghai Kunlun Jade as a Medal Material for the Beijing Olympics. The application of Qinghai Kunlun Jade for the Olympics achieved phased results. However, many specific details such as jade material selection, processing technology, processing manufacturers, quality control, acceptance standards, advertising standards, jade pricing, and delivery time have not yet been implemented, and there is still a considerable distance from the signing of the donation memorandum. In the following months, the production of Olympic medal jade rings became a central task. After a month of repeated experimentation and technological innovation, the "Olympic Medal Yuhuan Production Process Plan" was finally formed. The plan was optimized and designed in terms of equipment selection, process flow, professional fixture design, grinding tool selection, etc., providing scientific technological support for the processing of Olympic medal Yuhuan. Li Ning, Deputy Secretary General of the Qinghai Provincial Government, has visited the Olympic Organizing Committee multiple times to coordinate the promotion of Qinghai Kunlun jade and the pricing of jade raw materials. In the name of the provincial government, he proposed to the Olympic Organizing Committee the "Suggestions of the Qinghai Provincial People's Government on the Propaganda Standards for Medals and Selection of Qinghai Kunlun Jade for the 2008 Olympic Games". This suggestion was adopted by the Olympic Organizing Committee, clearing the obstacles for promoting Qinghai Kunlun jade as a jade for Olympic medals. On September 19, 2007, the Qinghai Provincial Government submitted the "Conclusion Letter on Price Certification of Kunlun Jade Raw Materials for Olympic Medal Production" issued by the Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission Price Certification Center to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, providing a basis for the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to ultimately determine the value of donated jade. On September 27, 2007, a medal expert group from the Olympic Organizing Committee, consisting of Dong Zhenxin, Wang Yipeng, Lin Yibei, and Chen Xi, conducted an on-site investigation at the Nachitai mine in Golmud City. Samples of jade raw materials were collected, and the texture and color of white jade for gold medals and blue jade for bronze medals were basically determined. Blue and white jade had a significant change in transition color, and after selecting a sufficient number of jade materials, samples were sent to Beijing for further confirmation. On December 10, 2007, the Cultural Activities Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad sent a letter to the General Office of the Qinghai Provincial People's Government regarding the confirmation of jade samples for medals. "After expert investigation, it was determined that the white jade, blue white jade, and blue jade jade ring samples provided by Qinghai Province meet the quality and color requirements for jade for medals in the Beijing Olympics. On December 23, 2007, Jiang Xiaoyu, Vice Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, Zhao Dongming, Minister of Cultural Activities, and Jidimaga, Vice Governor of Qinghai Province, as well as Liu Shengchun, Chairman of Golmud Kunlun Baoyu Stone Co., Ltd., exchanged ideas and reached a consensus on the acceptance standards and donation pricing of medal inlaid jade rings involved in the donation process of Qinghai Kunlun jade at the Qinghai Building. On January 2, 2008, the signing ceremony for the donation of Kunlun jade by the Qinghai Provincial People's Government to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games was grandly held at the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. Liu Qi, President of the Beijing Olympic Committee, Guo Jinlong, Mayor of Beijing, Wang Wei, Executive Vice Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympics, Qiang Wei, Secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, Song Xiuyan, Governor of Qinghai Province, Jidimaga, Deputy Governor of Qinghai Province, Li Ning, and Hu Peijie, Deputy Secretary General of the Qinghai Provincial Government Qinghai Yujie representative Liu Shengchun attended the signing ceremony. The signing ceremony was presided over by Jiang Xiaoyu, Executive Vice Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong delivered speeches on behalf of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, and Qinghai Provincial Governor Song Xiuyan delivered speeches on behalf of the Qinghai Provincial People's Government. The speeches fully expressed that the Kunlun jade donated by Qinghai is the most holy and beautiful gift in the hearts of the Qinghai people, representing the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee and Qinghai Provincial People's Government The good wishes of the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai for the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympics; It also fully expresses the gratitude of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympics to the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, the Qinghai Provincial People's Government, and the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai. Deputy Governor of Qinghai Provincial People's Government, Jidi Maga, and Executive Vice Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, Wang Wei, respectively signed the "Kunlun Jade Donation Memorandum" on behalf of the Qinghai Provincial People's Government and the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. Qiang Wei, Secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, presented a sample of the Qinghai Kunlun Jade Olympic medal and jade ring to the Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympics. Subsequently, the Qinghai Provincial People's Government held a press conference at the Qinghai Building in Beijing and released the news to the media. The news that "Qinghai Kunlun Jade has successfully applied for the Olympic Games" has been closely reported by various media outlets, and Qinghai Kunlun Jade became famous overnight.The success of Qinghai Kunlun Jade's bid for the Olympics is only the starting point of the Olympic journey, and the key is to finally complete all the jade rings embedded in the medals. According to the high standards set by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for the quality and color of jade, and the urgency of time, it is unprecedented in the jade processing industry and will face a severe challenge. However, difficulties were encountered during the initial stage of jade transportation. On the way to transport the selected jade raw materials to the processing site of Yangzhou in Golmud, we encountered a once-in-a-century ice and snow disaster at the beginning of the year. The originally planned three-day journey seemed distant. The freight driver endured hunger and cold all the way, worried about the safety of jade raw materials, and walked for eight consecutive days and eight nights before finally arriving in Yangzhou. The entrusted processing enterprise abandoned the continuous processing of Olympic medal jade rings day and night during the Spring Festival holiday, and basically completed the original production plan by mid March, waiting for the acceptance of the medal expert group of the Olympic Organizing Committee. In late March, a medal expert group led by Vice Minister Cui Ning of the Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee arrived in Yangzhou and inspected the processed medals. The inspection results showed that there were 111 qualified white jade rings, 50 qualified green white jade rings, and 2 qualified green jade rings. The jade ring processing was basically completed. The difference was delivered to Beijing in early April and was fully compensated after passing the inspection by the expert group. However, when Qinghai Jade Circle thought that the donation of Olympic medal jade rings had been successfully completed, the Cultural Activity Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee notified by telephone in late April that half of the medal jade rings had been rejected due to size error, color difference, uneven slotting, thickness deviation, etc., and hoped to take emergency measures to select materials for processing. Upon hearing the news, the Qinghai Jade Ware Company, which commissioned the processing, immediately reported to the provincial government and rushed to Beijing to understand the situation and discuss solutions to the problem. After discussion, it was proposed that the medal expert group of the Olympic Organizing Committee will go to Golmud to assist in the re selection and processing of materials, some Yuhuan will be reworked and repaired, and one or two entrusted processing enterprises will be found to accelerate the processing speed. Acceptance and processing will be interactive, and the finished products processed on the same day will be accepted on the same day.On May 25th, Jiang Xiaoyu, Executive Vice Chairman of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, Cui Ning, Deputy Minister of Cultural Activities, and the Medal Expert Group of the Olympic Organizing Committee met with Qiang Wei, Secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, and Jidimaga, Deputy Governor of Qinghai Province in Xining, Qinghai. They reached a consensus on accelerating the selection, processing, and production of Olympic medal jade rings, formulated relevant measures, and arranged specific work. Subsequently, Cui Ning led the medal expert team of the Olympic Organizing Committee to Golmud to assist in material selection and provide on-site work guidance. Yangzhou commissioned a processing enterprise to move the machine to the Shanghai Mint for on-site processing and repair. At the same time, he found the manufacturer of Nanjing digital jade carving machine to seek commissioned processing. In early June, Du Qiusheng, Deputy General Manager of Qinghai Golmud Kunlun Baoyu Stone Co., Ltd., flew to Nanjing with a small amount of jade raw materials for trial production with the enterprise, and carried out process improvements, achieving remarkable results. Subsequently, large-scale production began, and the deadline for delivering the Olympic medal Yuhuan was sprinted. The Qinghai Provincial Government dispatched a supervision team consisting of Li Yidan, Vice Mayor of Golmud City, Dong Jiansheng, Assistant Mayor, and experts to supervise and inspect the processing site in Nanjing. In mid June, Vice Minister Cui Ning led the medal expert team of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to Nanjing for on-site guidance. All parties worked together to launch a tough battle for the processing of medal jade rings. After nearly a month of relentless struggle day and night, the donation and delivery of Olympic medal jade rings were successfully completed on June 29, the day before the deadline set by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. According to the statistics of the investment in the Kunlun Yuhuan donation, compared to the original budget of 16 million yuan, the actual investment from the initial selection, cutting, and processing to the final qualified finished product has exceeded 36 million yuan. However, the historical mission entrusted by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and the Qinghai Provincial Government has been successfully completed. Yuhuan donation and processing enterprises have submitted a satisfactory answer to the people of Qinghai and the whole country. On September 28, 2008, the Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games issued a collective certificate of honor to the People's Government of Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, the People's Government of Golmud City, Golmud Kunlun Baoyu Stone Co., Ltd., and Qinghai Kunyu Craft Products Co., Ltd., and awarded outstanding contributions to the donation project to Li Ning, Zhang Kun, Li Yidan, Dong Jiansheng, Liu Shengchun, Du Qiusheng, Ma Fuyuan, Xu Shixiong, Yuan Jianzhong Comrade Xu Haidong, Ma Weilin, Ma Weihan, Fang Yunhe, Yang Zhiqing, and Wang Suling presented honorary certificates to reward the outstanding contributions of the Kunlun Jade World they represented to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In fact, they are not only for the Olympics, but also for their hometown and the sacred Kunlun jade in their hearts.
