Chapter 480: Asking for a Sky
He Huamen Liquor is completely on the bar, Tang Yin is not too worried, after all, from the perspective of normal business methods, the super taste of Lingquan Brew is already invincible.
"Tang Yin, have you heard about Xu Tianxiang?" When Tang Yin was in the antique street again, the jade carving Liu asked Tang Yin with some schadenfreude.
"What happened to him?" Tang Yin knew that something had happened to Xu Tianxiang as soon as he heard it, and it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise he would not have made Jade Carving Liu laugh.
After all, Xu Tianxiang and Jade Carving Liu can be said to be in a hostile relationship, because Xu Tianxiang and Meng Jinyu are in a hostile relationship.
"It is said that when he was carving, he accidentally twisted his foot and couldn't continue carving, so he terminated the contract with the football club peacefully!"
"Twisted foot?" Tang Yin shook his head, not believing it!
Although twisting the foot is a relatively common injury, Xu Tianxiang has been engaged in the carving industry for so many years, and has already learned how to protect himself by engaging in this kind of work all year round.
Twisting the foot, I'm afraid it's just an excuse.
Tang Yin remembered the rumors two days ago that the football club was dissatisfied with Xu Tianxiang's craftsmanship and wanted him to re-carve.
Because when he was carving, some places with relatively low skill requirements let his disciples save physical strength for him.
There is definitely a certain difference between the characteristics of his craft and the characteristics of his disciples, and once it appears on the same work, it is easy to create a sense of incongruity.
The football club was dissatisfied with this, they were very satisfied with Xu Tianxiang's craftsmanship, so they proposed that Xu Tianxiang complete it independently.
Tang Yin guessed that Xu Tianxiang was injured and terminated the contract with the club, I am afraid that the order will be reversed, the contract will be terminated first, and then the injury will be used as an excuse to save his face.
After all, as an engraver, if the carving level does not meet the customer's requirements, it is very embarrassing to be saved by the customer.
And what Xu Tianxiang cares about most is precisely his face.
"I knew you didn't believe it, and I didn't believe it either!"
When the two were talking, two people came from not far away, Tang Yin knew each other, one was Meng Tinghan and the other was Lao Xiao.
It's just that Tang Yin is a little puzzled, how did these two people come together?
According to Tang Yin's understanding, although these two people belong to the same football club, they belong to different factions, and they are-for-tat many times.
"I guess I'm looking for you!" Seeing the two people coming from afar, Jade Carving Liu looked at Tang Yin and suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"How do you know?"
"Nonsense, of course it's a guess, the football club and Xu Tianxiang have terminated the contract, but the football club still needs statues, in Longmen, although there are many people who can carve, but there are only a few top masters, Xu Tianxiang is gone, naturally there is a need for someone.
For Tang Yin's talent in jade carving, he is the most envious, his dream was to become a jade carving master, and he also paid hard sweat for it.
However, it is enough for ordinary sculptors to be willing to put in the effort, but once they reach the master level, they need talent.
It was precisely because of his talent that he was not good, so although the carving craft was very exquisite, it was basically impossible to reach the master level, so he had to switch to antiques and then take up carving as a part-time craft.
He was sure that if he had Tang Yin's talent, he would never just take carving as a hobby like Tang Yin, but put all his energy into the carving industry.
Just when he was envious, Meng Xiao and the others had already walked over.
"Master Meng said that he could find you in the antique street, and sure enough, you are in the antique street!" Meng Tinghan walked over with a smile and said hello.
"Is there anything wrong with being in such a hurry to find me?" Tang Yin was not surprised at all, his life was still relatively regular.
Every day, I set aside a fixed amount of time to collect antiques in the antique street or other places in the city where there are antiques.
Most of the antiques he collected were sold by him, and only a few extremely precious ones were treasured by him.
Because he loves antiques, which is a little different from other people's love of antiques, others love antiques, either they like antiques, or they use antiques as a tool to make money, or both.
And Tang Yin likes antiques, to be precise, he likes the treasure on the antique, no matter what he learns, he is very fast, which is the effect of the treasure.
Therefore, after sucking the treasure away, the antiques have little meaning to him, leaving only a few more precious ones to maintain and increase their value.
"It's better for me to say it, Master Xu Tianxiang was injured in an accident and can't continue to carve the statue needed by the club, but this statue is very important to the club, so we want to hire you to continue carving, no, it's a re-carving!"
made the jade carving Liu guess, it was really for Tang Yin.
"As far as I know, it's been less than a week before the final delivery time, and this is a relatively large statue, do you think it can be made in such a short time?" Tang Yin asked the two rhetorically.
When he first approached Tang Yin, Meng Tinghan had already said that the statue must be completed before the club opened.
The time for the opening of the club has been determined, and if it is according to the original plan, whether it is Tang Yin or Master Xu, there will be plenty of time for carving.
But now that Master Xu is halfway through, the remaining time is less than a week, and if the carving is a normal carving speed, the time will be a little tight, unless many people do it at the same time.
"Tang Yin, don't be modest, since we can find you, we have a certain understanding of your carving, and your carving speed is very fast, we know this!"
"Looks like you're here prepared, so let's talk about the pay!How much are you going to pay for the statue?"
"Three million!" Lao Xiao gave a price.
Such a price is already sky-high, in the ranks of carving, even if it is a large carving, hundreds of thousands are also high.
The price of millions is basically for the master.
Being able to give Tang Yin a high price of three million is equivalent to admitting that his current craftsmanship can be compared with that of a master carver.
"Are you serious?" Hearing the sky-high price, the smile on Tang Yin's face disappeared.
"Of course it's serious, as long as you can meet the requirements, the club will accept it after you finish carving, and once the acceptance is successful, pay immediately!"
In his opinion, Tang Yin will definitely be crazy when he hears this price, and he will definitely take the task without hesitation.
"I still have something to do, I won't accompany the two of you!" Tang Yin turned around and left.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Lao Xiao stopped Tang Yin.
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
"How do I understand if you don't tell me?"
"Let me ask you, what price do you give Xu Tianxiang?"
"You are you, Xu Tianxiang is Xu Tianxiang!" Lao Xiao did not respond to Tang Yin directly, but emphasized that Tang Yin and Xu Tianxiang were different.
Since people are different, of course, the price is also different.
Except for the first time when he greeted Tang Yin, Meng Tinghan kept watching from the side, as if he was just a spectator and not here to hire Tang Yin.
"Same job, me
Remember the price you gave Xu Tianxiang was eight million, and now you give me the price, three million, do you think I am only worthy of less than half of Xu Tianxiang?" Tang Yin asked in a cold voice.
Three million is already a sky-high price, but the problem is that compared with Xu Tianxiang, it has shrunk too much, so he is unwilling.
"Master Xu is a well-known master for a long time, and he still has his team, and you are just a new carver, and you are the only one, how can you have a price?" Lao Xiao was forced to ask by Tang Yin, and he was also angry in his heart.
Tang Yin was recommended by Meng Tinghan, and he was not treated by him in the first place, so he was not polite at all when he spoke.
"Then you can go and ask for another master!" Tang Yin waved his hand freely.
For Tang Yin, carving is just a hobby and part-time job, and it is a good thing to be able to make money, but if he can't make money, he will not starve because of it.
Although he also knew that Xu Tianxiang was an old master of carving, and his fame and influence were not comparable to him, the price he was given was too different, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Lao Xiao, this time you took the initiative to take over the task. Meng Tinghan smiled and reminded him of the well.
There is no harmony between him and Lao Xiao, and the two will not work together under normal circumstances, but today is a special situation.
It was Wei Zhongping who sent him to lead the way, so he took Lao Xiao to find Tang Yin, and his work was completed so far.
Whether Lao Xiao can invite Tang Yin or not can be said to be none of his business, so now that he sees that the two of them may talk about the possibility of collapse, he has become gloating.
"How much do you want?" Old Xiao took a deep breath.
He knew very well that the day of the opening of the club was not far off and that the statue had to be completed before the opening, otherwise it would affect the opening.
Xu Tianxiang terminated the contract, and he had to find someone else to replace him immediately.
To look for it outside the dragon gate, there are some suitable candidates, but the problem is that it is too time-consuming, even if you invite people to the dragon gate, you may not have time to complete it.
Candidates outside the Dragon Gate were excluded, so naturally they could only be found within the Dragon Gate, and after some screening, it seemed that Tang Yin was the most suitable.
To be honest, when he was sure that it was Tang Yin, he was very resistant in his heart, although he and Tang Yin had no hatred or grudge, but Tang Yin had some relationship with his old rival Meng Tinghan, which made him feel a sense of rejection towards Tang Yan in his heart.
But Meng Pinghan made a bad move, saying that he invited Tang Yin to come last time, but he eliminated Tang Yin because of the club, and Tang Yin would definitely hate him.
So the person who invited Tang Yin this time must not be him, and as a result, Lao Xiao was sent by Wei Zhongping to invite Tang Yin.
"Fifteen million!" Tang Yin spoke.
"Do you say it again?" Hearing Tang Yin's offer, Lao Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, he didn't expect Tang Yin to have such a big appetite.
Meng Tinghan was also very surprised, Xu Tianxiang was only 7 million, and Tang Yin's asking price was more than double that of Xu Tianxiang.
"Fifteen million, do you hear me clearly now?"
"Tang Yin, aren't you taking advantage of the fire to rob?" After making sure that he heard correctly, Lao Xiao's face suddenly darkened.
Even if it is a master, there are more than 10 million prices in performance.
I'm afraid that only a medieval carver would ask for such a high price, but the problem is that Tang Yin is not even a master carver, so how can he talk about a grandmaster?
"Fifteen million, not a penny less, either you agree, I will finish the carving, or you ask another master, anyway, I am not begging you to agree!" After finishing speaking, Tang Yin threw up his sleeves and left.
"What should I do?" Seeing Tang Yin leaving, Lao Xiao was very helpless, such a high price was impossible, but if he didn't promise Tang Yin, he wouldn't do it, so what should he do?
