Godly Fisherman

"As for this." Lu Kai took another pendant in his hand: "This is Hetian jade, which is the first of the four famous jade in our country. What you see is Hetian sheep fat jade seed material, a carved peace bean, Look at the color of the skin, the color is slightly yellow, and it is carved into bean leaves, which means Tiancheng. The price of this pendant is 6 million. The price of Hetian jade is cheaper than jadeite. The top mutton jade is only tens of thousands of grams, but this The pendant is the work of the master sculptor Liu Zhiming and has collection value."

After listening to Lu Kai's words, I took a sigh of relief in my heart. The so-called ‘golden jade is priceless’, is this the truth, the prices of such small gadgets are all seven figures? Seeing that the things on the first floor are not as good-looking, the price is 10,000 times different! These things really are things that rich people can play!

However, he was shocked, but his face couldn't show any timidity. Xiao Peng nodded his head lightly, "Whether it is a moral or a carving craftsman, this pendant is good. It can be seen that this jade carver's skill is good, but unfortunately it is not good enough. There is still a shortcoming, the only flaw on this small pendant is an extra cut."

"One more knife?" Lu Kai was puzzled when he heard Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng explained: "The earliest jade articles were not carved, but cut out. This is where the allusion of'jade cannot be made into a tool' comes from this. The ancient jade articles were all milled with jade sand and water. The so-called'stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade'. By now, the technique of jade carving has basically been lost. Even if there are still people who know how to use the'carving jade technique', it is very time-consuming and laborious. There are works circulating around the world."

Xiao Peng took a sip of water and continued: "Later, the technique of carving jade with a knife appeared, and the masters of carving in history have emerged one after another. For example, Qiu Chuji, a great master of Taoism, is a master of jade carving. And the most famous master of carving should This is Lu Zigang. You must know this person in this industry. Lu Zigang's jade carvings are changeable and regular, and they are more quaint. All of his works are expensive. The reason for this is because of his jade carving techniques. It is a small water-splashing knife method inherited from ancient times."

Lu Kai puzzled: "What does this have to do with an extra cut?"

Xiao Peng smiled and explained: "The little water-splashing knife method requires a free and easy knife. This jade pendant, the jade carving person can say that he has basically figured out the doorway of this'little water-splashing knife method. It looks the same, but the thing is still slightly flawed. The knife on the leaf is purely redundant. To be more harsh, this knife destroys the overall artistic composition of this jade pendant."

The boss of Lu Kai's mouth was open, unable to close his mouth for a long time. Who is Liu Zhiming? China’s first-class jade carving master, Nie’s Jewelry has taken great pains to obtain several works by Liu Lao and put them in different stores as the treasure of the town. In the end, Xiao Peng pointed out the problem in a few words?

Xiao Peng is so young that Lu Kai is more willing to believe that he is talking nonsense, but the paragraph Xiao Peng just said is so convincing, and it is justified and well-founded, Lu Kai I don't know whether I should believe Xiao Peng's words, this famous young talent in the fashion circle just stood aside speechless in spite of his image.

"Papa Papa." There was a sudden applause at the door, and at the same time a sentence in Hong Kong-flavored Mandarin: "This boss is very knowledgeable. I don't know how to call it?"

The person speaking is not very old, and he wears a set of casual clothes that Xiao Peng doesn't know about the brand, but he fits perfectly. He wears a pair of brown sunglasses and a big sports watch on his wrist. He looks very young and fashionable.

Seeing the people coming, Lu Kai introduced them: "This is Nie Yuan, the heir of Nie's jewelry, and this is Boss Xiao."

Nie Yuan took off his sunglasses, shook hands with Xiao Peng carefully, and observed Xiao Peng carefully: Seeing Xiao Peng's clothes are ordinary, there is sea sand at the trousers of his shoes, and he didn't wear any watch jewelry. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a rich man. Thinking about what Xiao Peng said just now, it feels even more that he is just talking about it.

"Since Boss Xiao has studied jade carving so much, why not carve it himself?" Nie Yuan said this, just wanting to look at Xiao Peng ashamed.

How can I know that Xiao Peng listened, but suddenly he said: "Yes, why should I buy it? I can just carve a few pieces by myself?"

Xiao Peng's original plan was to take the three girls to the jewelry store to cover himself, absorb the energy in the jade, and buy a few more jade ornaments at the same price to give to the three, which is considered a hard cost for cover. Seeing the prices of various jade ornaments here, this hard work is really indispensable.

I just invested such a large sum of money in Qianliyan. Really let him buy three jade ornaments as gifts? If you give it cheap, you don’t like it. Even if you buy three of the same size, it is not just a distressing problem, it is a pain!

Nie Yuan gave Xiao Peng a reminder that the rough stone should be much cheaper than the finished product, right? Isn't it enough to buy rough stones and carve them yourself?

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng looked at Nie Yuan: "Boss Nie, do you have rough stones for sale here?"

Nie Yuan was stunned when he heard it. He just said, wanting to embarrass Xiao Peng, but didn't expect Xiao Peng to buy rough stones to carve himself? Nie Yuan’s face was apologized: “Boss Xiao, I’m sorry. We are just a jewelry store. There are only finished jewelry products. All the rough stones are in the design department of the Hong Kong headquarters. We don’t have one here.”

Xiao Peng was disappointed: "Then where can I buy rough stones?"

This stopped Nie Yuan and Lu Kai: "We rarely go to Qindao, I really don't know."

Xiao Peng was depressed now, and it seemed that he still had to spend his fortune to buy a finished product.

At this time, a female staff member standing behind Lu Kai said weakly: "I know where to buy it."

Several people stared at her together, and Xiao Peng was even more anxious: "Where can I buy it?"

The female worker hurriedly said: "Go to the cultural market, where there are betting on rough jade and Hetian jade."

When Lu Kai heard this, he shook his head: "Betting on stones is too risky. That is a bottomless pit. How many people lose their fortunes because of this? That is luck, and we gamble on nine loses. We, Nie's Jewelry, would rather buy finished materials at high prices. , I will not bet on rocks."

The so-called raw material refers to the raw material of jade that has been solved. That must be based on quality.

Xiao Peng became interested when he heard it: "I'll go and take a look, it's an eye-opener. The cultural market, right? Sister Ye, let's go and see."

Seeing a few people leaving, Nie Yuan got up and gave it away. After a long time, he didn't buy anything. This is not a customer at all. It is very polite that Nie Yuan can give away in person. But Lu Kai walked to a room, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

"Hey, it's the youngest Liu? This is Xiao Lu from Nie's Jewelry." Lu Kai spoke respectfully. This call was made to Liu Zhiming, the master of jade carving.

There was a hearty laughter over the phone: "It's Xiao Lu, it's not a good thing for you to call me. I really don't have any good creative themes recently. You know, now there are fewer and fewer good materials. I can't carve without good materials."

Lu Kai hurriedly said, "Lao Liu, you are misunderstanding. I have one thing to ask you. I want to ask, is the carving technique you use a small splashing water knife method?"

When Liu Zhiming heard this, he was shocked: "How did you know? Where did you hear about the little water-splashing knife method?"

No wonder Liu Zhiming was surprised. Liu Zhiming studied jade carving since he was a child, and his master was a jade carving master in the original royal family, who specially served the royal family. After the Qing government was destroyed, he escaped from the palace and returned to the mountains and forests. When he was old, he adopted a child and passed on his jade carving skills to the child.

And this child is Liu Zhiming.

Liu Zhiming still remembers what his master once said to himself: "Since ancient times, there have been various jade carving schools in our country, and many different carving techniques, such as the eight swords of the Han Dynasty, the hollow carving, the heavenly carving, and so on. Unfortunately, many carving techniques are used. It has been lost. The carving technique used by ours is called small splashing water, which is a kind of jade carving technique from ancient times. The jade carving master Lu Zigang used this technique of carving jade carving and used the method of smooth flat knife to outline the jade carving. It is a pity that Lu Zigang. He had his head beheaded too early, and he had no students, this inheritance is considered broken. However, his assistant, Xiao Gong, has been dazzled every day, and he has mastered the fur and passed on this inheritance. This little worker is my ancestor. You must not break this line of inheritance. Now in the world, there are only you and me who know how to use the water-splashing technique."

Later, after Master Liu passed away, Liu Zhiming became the only heir. How could anyone know the little water-splashing knife method?

After hearing what Liu Lao said, Lu Kai knew that Liu Zhiming had admitted that he used the small water-splashing knife method, which shows that boss Xiao has vision!

"Lao Liu, I will call you at night to tell you what happened, and I will hang up first." After saying that, Lu Kai hung up the phone and rushed out.

"Hello? Hello?" Liu Lao took the phone and watched Lu Kai just hang up his phone like this. He was a little bit confused. He had dealt with Lu Kai several times. Although this person is not low in status, he is usually courteous to everyone. Why is he so rude today that he hangs up before he finishes speaking?

But what makes Liu Lao even more concerned about is, how did he know that Xiao splashing water? Lu Kai hung up the phone in a hurry, there must be something important, since he said to call himself at night, Liu Zhiming decided to listen to Lu Kai's explanation in the evening.

Liu Zhiming hung up the phone, but he kept thinking about it, how could Lu Kai know the name of his sword?

Although Liu Zhiming also has a few apprentices, the qualifications of these apprentices are not yet satisfactory to him, so Liu Zhiming has never told these disciples the name of the sword technique of his school. It can be said that this is the first time in decades that Liu Zhiming heard someone mention the small water-splashing method!

Liu Zhiming couldn't figure it out. But he could only wait until the evening Lu Kai called himself.

The problem is, it's just noon at this time, Liu Zhiming sighed, is this waiting for me to die?
