Chapter 334: Suppressing people with power
No problem!
Tang Yin is not a hypocritical person, since it has been negotiated, and the time is very tight, it is appropriate to start the work as soon as possible.
Tang Yin didn't even go back to the villa, but drove directly to Guo Xiong to a large warehouse in the suburbs.
A corner of the warehouse was temporarily leased by Guo Xiong.
In the open-air area, there are piles of cut stones, uniform in size, apparently ready for carving reliefs.
In this corner of the warehouse, there are some independent rooms, which are planned as temporary studios, and you can hear a lot of carving sounds, obviously the carvers hired by Guo Xiong are in a hurry.
"Xiao Xie, you take Mr. Tang to select stones, Mr. Tang, you go to select stones first, and I'll arrange it!" As soon as he came to the stone pile, Guo Xiong received a phone call.
After receiving the call, his face immediately changed, obviously something big had happened, he immediately called a staff member and asked him to entertain Tang Yin well.
Tang Yin nodded, he came to carve reliefs, not to be a guest, and he didn't need Guo Xiong to accompany him throughout the process.
Xiao Xie is a young man, but he is four or five years older than Tang Yin, and he wears a pair of glasses and is polite.
"Mr. Tang, you can choose these stones at will, after you choose them, I will send them to your studio immediately!" For Tang Yin's youth, Xiao Xie was also very shocked.
He has been here these days and has seen a lot of carving masters, but basically they are all in a group of people, among which the older ones are in charge, and the younger ones can only be helpers.
Like Tang Yin, who came alone, and was so young, he was really the only one, so it was no wonder that he was curious.
"Just choose this one!" Tang Yin walked around, and after half an hour, he finally stopped in front of a stone.
Although the stones present are all of the same size, they are all square with a thickness of one foot and a side length of three meters.
However, the texture of the stone itself is different, and when making reliefs, as a clever carver, he will make good use of the texture of the stone itself.
Therefore, before the formal carving, it is necessary to select the appropriate stone, so that the carved work can make full use of the texture of the stone itself and make the relief more expressive.
"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you right away!" Xiao Xie nodded, and immediately beckoned the workers to come over to transport it.
A square stone with a side length of three meters, with a thickness of one foot and a weight of several tons, cannot be transported by manpower alone, and requires the help of lifting machinery.
"Just in time, Xiao Xie, transport this stone to our studio!" When the stone was loaded and was about to leave for transportation, a man in his thirties walked over.
As soon as he looked at the stone Tang Yin had chosen, his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, this stone was selected by Mr. Tang. Xiao Xie's face changed slightly, and then said with a smile.
Guo Xiong was not at the scene, he had to deal with everything at the scene.
"If I ask you to send it over, you will send it over, this is a major matter related to your boss, if it is delayed, can you afford this responsibility?" Hearing Xiao Xie's words, the surnamed Zhang expressed great dissatisfaction.
As for Tang Yin, who was standing next to him, he saw it when he walked over just now, and he didn't know Tang Yin at all.
He concluded that even if Tang Yin was an engraver, he was also an unknown person, so he didn't need to take Tang Yin's thoughts into account.
That's why he walked over directly, obviously guessing that the stone was chosen by Tang Yin, but he insisted on occupying it.
"I'm sorry, this stone was chosen by Mr. Tang, and only Mr. Tang has the right to dispose of it!" Xiao Xie said through gritted teeth.
He's clear
Chu, Mr. Zhang in front of him is a very famous carver, and his master Xu Tianxiang is a famous carver.
The problem is that his request is too unreasonable, and he directly robs other people's stones, if he really does what he asks, it will inevitably cause Tang Yin's dissatisfaction.
"What's your name?" failed to achieve the goal, which made Mr. Zhang very dissatisfied.
"Won't you report your name yourself before asking for someone's name?" Tang Yin glanced at Mr. Zhang with contempt.
"I'm Zhang Zheng, my master is Xu Tianxiang, I have taken a fancy to your stone, now I will inform you, you can choose a new piece!" After reporting his name, Zhang Zheng turned around, and he didn't plan to continue asking Tang Yin's name at all.
"Now you can transport the stone to our studio, right?" Zhang Zheng looked at Xiao Xie.
"I'm sorry, I need Mr. Tang's permission!"
"Tell him you agree!" Zhang Zheng turned around a little annoyed.
In his opinion, his master is a master carver, although he is not as good as Meng Jinyu in Longmen, but he is also quite influential.
In Longmen, the carver who eats in the carving circle should give his master some face, and the stupid big man in front of him is the same.
"I don't agree!" Mr. Tang said.
"You heard it, too, and he's ...... Wait, what did you just say?" I thought Tang Yin would agree, so as soon as Zhang Zheng turned his head, he was about to order Xiao Xie to transport the stone to his studio.
But halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted.
What Tang Yin said just now was not agree, there was another word no in front, although there was only one more word, the meaning was diametrically opposite.
He had a feeling of being teased and immediately became angry.
"Seeing that you are not very old and your ears are intact, why do you have hearing problems?" Tang Yin asked funny.
Tang Yin had never heard of the name Zhang Zheng, but Tang Yin had heard the name Xu Tianxiang many times.
I heard it from the mouth of the jade carving Liu, in the Longmen and the surrounding area, in the circle of carving, Master Meng can be said to be second to none.
Below Master Meng is Xu Tianxiang.
In recent years, Master Meng's physical strength has declined, and he has basically stopped taking work, but Xu Tianxiang is different, he is ten years younger than Master Meng, although his physical strength has also declined a little, but he can still take his apprentices to take over the work.
Especially after Master Meng gradually retired, in the Longmen and the nearby carving circles, Xu Tianxiang was faintly respected.
"Do you know what you did?"
"I really don't know, why don't you remind me?"
"Okay, I'll tell you, my master Xu Tianxiang, is the Taishan Beidou in the Longmen carving circle, a word can make you have no food, I am the master to choose the stone, fancy the stone you choose is your honor, you dare to refuse me, think clearly about the seriousness of the consequences?"
"I'm so scared, so what do you say?"
"Thinking that you are unintentional, give me this stone, and I will not hold you responsible. Zhang Zheng said triumphantly.
Xiao Xie pouted, this is simply a fox and a fake tiger!
But he must maintain a neutral position and complete the tasks assigned by his boss Guo Xiong, as for who the stone will be given to, it depends on Tang Yin's decision.
If you agree to it, it will naturally be sent to Master Xu Tianxiang.
If you don't agree, of course, you should send it to Tang Yin.
Although Xu Tianxiang is a master, his influence is limited to the carving circle, and once he goes beyond this circle, his influence is very limited.
Guo Xiong is not an ordinary person, although he is very polite to Xu Tianxiang, it does not mean that he is afraid of Xu Tianxiang, which is done
Xiao Xie, one of Guo Xiong's henchmen, is of course clear in his heart.
is not worried about not being satisfied with Xu Tianxiang, he will make trouble from it, otherwise once the annoyed Guo Xiong retaliates, Xu Tianxiang can only walk around without eating.
"Okay, please send the stone to my studio!" Tang Yin said to Xiao Xie with a smile.
"Okay, I'll send it to your studio right away!" Xiao Xie heard the music, and Tang Yin didn't care about Xu Tianxiang.
Then he waved his hand, and the workers immediately activated the equipment, and the square stone slowly moved off the ground and towards the studio.
"The surname is Tang, are you kidding me?" Zhang Zheng is not stupid, how could he not react?
Realizing that he had been tricked, and that he was in front of many workers, his face was a little unbearable, and he strode towards Tang Yin.
Walking in front of Tang Yin, he was a little discouraged in his heart.
He was just an average height and didn't have many muscles on his body.
Tang Yin is 1.9 meters tall, tall and tall, plus the tendons and flesh all over his body, he is not a person to be messed with at first glance.
In terms of body size, he and Tang Yin are not of the same magnitude.
"What, do you still want to compare with me?" Seeing Zhang Zheng striding over, Tang Yin looked down with a smile.
"Hmph, only uncivilized barbarians will always think about solving problems with their fists, you wait, from now on you don't want to get mixed up in the carving circle of Longmen!" Seeing Tang Yin take a step forward, Zhang Zheng took a step back.
Rushing in front of Tang Yin just now, it was just an impulse, and now he no longer has the courage to make a move against Tang Yin.
After speaking, Zhang Zheng turned around and strode away.
"Mr. Tang, Zhang Zheng's master Xu Tianxiang is a master carver, and he is very influential in the carving circle of Longmen, I'm afraid he will trouble you in the future!" Seeing Zhang Zheng gone, Xiao Xie kindly reminded him that there was only so much he could do.
"It's just that he has a certain influence in the carving circle!" Tang Yin smiled and didn't take this matter to heart.
First of all, he didn't plan to eat in the carving circle.
Secondly, although Meng Jinyu did not accept him as an apprentice, he had the grace of passing on his art, and he could be regarded as half of his master.
If Xu Tianxiang wants to suppress him, as long as Tang Yin's identity is exposed, Xu Tianxiang's suppression plan will go bankrupt.
After all, in the carving circle, especially in the carving circle of Longmen, Meng Jinyu's influence is much greater than that of Xu Tianxiang.
When Tang Yin followed Xiao Xie to the temporary workers assigned to him, Zhang Zheng had already trotted all the way to a very spacious temporary studio.
A man who looked to be about fifty, with gray hair, was directing some young men to work on a half-finished stone.
"Master, I'm back!" After Zhang Zheng walked in, he walked quickly behind the man, looking unusually well-behaved.
"Have you chosen the stones?" the man didn't look back at all.
"I've chosen!"
"It's good to choose, this piece of relief can be completed tonight, just use the remaining time, let you and your senior brothers also practice their hands, see if you can complete another piece!"
"Master, I'm afraid the stone won't arrive!"
"What do you mean?" The gray-haired man raised his head and looked at Zhang Zheng with some confusion, since he had chosen it, why couldn't he arrive?
"The stone I chose was sent by them to another carver!" Zhang Zheng said through gritted teeth when he heard the master's inquiry.
Got given to another engraver?
Hearing Zhang Zheng's words, the people in this studio stopped their work, and the stones that belonged to them were robbed?
