Chapter 274: Li Linfeng on
"It's just a name, what can't be said about this, could it be that there is something hidden in it?"
"Let me tell you this, my friend's attainments in jade are definitely at the master level, but he has no public office and is not well-known in the outside world..."
It turned out that the friend who inquired about Bao was named Li Linfeng, who was a disciple of Master Pan Bingheng, who was known as the founder of "Gold Inlaid Jade", but later, in order to improve his carving level, he went to Yangzhou to learn the carving techniques of the Yang School.
However, everyone knows that Pan Bingheng is the leader of the northern school of jade carving, which is characterized by solemnity and generosity, simple and elegant, while the Yang school jade carving pays attention to the rules, exquisite craftsmanship, and elegant and beautiful shape, and the style between the two is completely different.
It's just that the fusion of the two styles is already difficult, but no one thought that Li Linfeng would not stop, and learned some stone carving, wood carving and miniature carving techniques. At this time, even his master no longer had hope in him.
Li Linfeng's original intentions were good, but in the eyes of many people, he was so ambitious that it was impossible to achieve anything. was slowly excluded from the circle, even if his carving skills have reached the level of a master, he has not been recognized by any insiders.
After listening to Bao Inquire's introduction, Zheng Yan became interested, isn't this exactly the talent he needs?
According to Zheng Yan's idea, in the future, Enron's company will take the high-end route and will not involve the low-end market, so the requirements for personnel and technology are very strict. There are many jade carving masters in China, but most of them either have public office or have their own business, and no one will work for them.
Pure jade is not particularly popular in the Western world, and if you add some gold and silver to embellish, I believe the situation will be much better. Li Linfeng, as a disciple of Pan Bingheng, naturally has no problem with his skills in this area.
In addition, since it will also face the Western world in the future, it is natural to add some Western elements, and Li Linfeng will naturally be able to control it more easily because of the integration of the strengths of several families.
"Bao inquires, I just need a jade carving master now, can you introduce me to that friend of yours?"
"That's fine, but do you still want this bracelet?"
Bao inquired and was afraid that the bracelet would be smashed in his hand, it was rare to meet Zheng Yan, a big customer, and An Ran and the two of them also liked the bracelet very much, of course they wanted to make a quick move.
"Yes, why not, how much?"
Since Li Yanran and An Ran put on the bracelet, they have no intention of taking it off at all.
Zheng Yan was still a little worried about the authenticity of the bracelet, but seeing that Li Yanran and An Ran liked it, she didn't object.
"In this way, for Boss Zheng's sake, this pair of bracelets will be 100,000 yuan. ”
Bao inquired and gritted his teeth, as if he had suffered a big loss, but only he knew that he had received the pair of bracelets, but it cost 20,000 yuan.
An Ran and the others didn't think that 100,000 yuan was very expensive, and although Zheng Yan knew that there was a lot of moisture in it, he didn't bother with him for the sake of providing news for him.
With this business support, Bao inquired and closed the store directly, and took Zheng Yan and the three to see Li Linfeng.
It is said that a master carver like Li Linfeng, even if he is excluded from the circle, should live well, but the situation is the opposite. Li Linfeng lives in a courtyard house where more than a dozen families live together, this is not the crux of the problem, he is still the worst among these dozen families...
"Lao Li!"
Bao inquired and came to the front of Li Linfeng's house and shouted into the house.
"What are you shouting, it's not that you haven't been here, and you can't let me go out to pick you up. ”
As soon as Bao inquired and shouted, Li Linfeng replied impatiently.
"Boss Zheng, why don't you wait here, I'll go in and call him. Lao Li's house is a bit messy, so don't go in. ”
It is said that people with ability will have some quirks, and Zheng Yan is also curious about this Li Linfeng, "It's okay, let's go in together, just talk about something, and it will be fine soon." ”
Bao Da heard that Zheng Yan insisted, so he didn't say anything, and directly pushed the door and walked in, but Zheng Yan regretted it as soon as he entered the door. The room is not only a little messy, there is no place to put your feet at all, the ground is full of gravel, sawdust, and some half-finished wood carvings and stone carvings, thrown there at random, and I don't know if I haven't cleaned it for a few months. Fortunately, this is not the focus of Zheng Yan's attention, so he didn't care.
"You wait, I'll finish it in a minute. ”
Li Linfeng was sitting on a small bench, holding a stone in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand, without raising his head, just saying a word and continuing his work.
Bao inquired about Li Linfeng's situation, and knew that he was having a very difficult time, maybe Zheng Yan could help him turn over, but as soon as he wanted to interrupt him, he was pulled by Zheng Yan.
Li Linfeng is making a landscape stone carving, although Zheng Yan doesn't understand this, but just looking at Li Linfeng's focused appearance, he also knows that Li Linfeng is indeed a real carving master, at least in attitude.
After about ten minutes, the carving knife in Li Linfeng's right hand stopped, then looked at the stone carving, threw it directly to the ground, and saw that the stone carving knocked off a corner. Now Zheng Yan finally understood why Li Linfeng's house was so messy.
"Hey, why did you drop that stone carving, isn't that good?"
Seeing this, An Ran couldn't help but say something on the side.
Only then did Li Linfeng find out that in addition to his acquaintances, there were three more strangers.
"Isn't it just a broken stone, and if you fall, you will fall. Li Linfeng said disapprehantly, and then inquired about the bag and said, "What, introduce me to business again?" Have you told them about my rules, don't let people run in vain." ”
Speaking of Li Linfeng's situation, it is indeed a bit miserable. Because he was only obsessed with improving his carving skills, he didn't care about anything else, and he never made money to support his family, so his wife divorced him many years ago. If it weren't for Bao inquiring and occasionally helping him, I'm afraid he would have starved to death.
"Lao Li, this is Boss Zheng, this time I am here to discuss business with you, you have to take advantage of the opportunity. ”
Although Bao inquired in the past, he had a really good relationship with Li Linfeng, and he didn't want him to miss this opportunity again.
Li Linfeng glanced at Zheng Yan and the others, and said with disdain: "Boss, just these three little dolls? I think you are getting more and more useless, and everyone has become a boss in your eyes." ”
