"As for this. Lu Kai took another pendant in his hand: "This is Hetian jade, that is, the first of the four famous jades in my country." What you see is Hetian sheep fat jade seed material, with skin carved Ping An bean, you see this skin color, the color is slightly yellow, carved into bean leaves, meaning natural, the price of this pendant is six million, Hetian jade is now cheaper than jadeite, the top sheep fat jade is tens of thousands of grams, but this pendant is the work of the carving master Liu Zhiming, there is a collection value. ”

After listening to Lu Kai's words, he took a breath of cool air in his heart, the so-called 'gold and jade are priceless', and this is really the truth, the price of two small gadgets is seven figures? Looking at the things that are not as good as those on the first floor, the price is 10,000 times different! These things are really things that can only be played by rich people!

However, he was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't show timidity on his face, Xiao Peng nodded lightly: "This pendant is good in terms of meaning and carving, it can be seen that the skill of this jade carver is good, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment is that there is still a little shortcoming, and the only flaw on this small pendant is that there is an extra knife." ”

"One more knife?" Lu Kai listened to Xiao Peng's words, his face full of puzzlement.

Xiao Peng explained: "The earliest jade was not carved, but carved, and the allusion that 'jade is not cut and cannot be made' comes from this. Ancient jade was milled with jade sand supplemented by water, which is the so-called 'stone from other mountains, which can attack jade'. And now, the technique of jade has basically been lost. Even if there are still people who know how to use the 'jade method', because it is time-consuming and laborious, few works are circulated in the world. ”

Xiao Peng took a sip of water and continued: "Later, there was a carving knife carving technique, and the carving masters in history were endless. Like the big man in Taoism, Qiu Chuji is a jade carving master. And the most famous carving master should be Lu Zigang. You know this person for sure if you're in the industry. Lu Zigang's jade carvings are changeable and regular, and the meaning of antiquity is stronger, and his works are all expensive. The reason for this is because his jade carving technique is a small splashing knife method inherited from ancient times. ”

Lu Kai was puzzled: "What does this have to do with one more knife?"

Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "The little splashing knife method, requiring the knife to be free and easy, this jade pendant, the person who carved the jade can be said to have basically figured out the doorway of this 'small splashing knife method', and the learning is good, but the matter is still slightly flawed, and the knife on the leaves is purely redundant." To put it harshly, this knife destroyed the overall artistic composition of this jade pendant. ”

Lu Kai's mouth was open, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. Who is Liu Zhiming? A first-class jade carving master in China, Nie's Jewelry has worked hard to obtain a few works of Liu Lao and put them in different stores as treasures of the town store. As a result, Xiao Peng pointed out the problem with a few casual words?

Xiao Peng looks so young, Lu Kai prefers to believe that he is talking nonsense, but what Xiao Peng said just now is so convincing, reasonable and well-founded, Lu Kai doesn't know whether to believe Xiao Peng's words, this famous young talent in the fashion industry, just stood aside and was speechless regardless of his image.

"Bang bang bang. At this time, there was a sudden applause at the door, and at the same time, a Hong Kong-style Mandarin came out: "This boss is very knowledgeable." Don't know what to call it?"

The person who spoke was not very old, wearing a set of casual clothes that Xiao Peng did not know the brand, but it was very fit, with a pair of brown sunglasses and a big sports watch on his wrist, looking very young and fashionable.

Seeing the visitor, Lu Kai introduced the two and said, "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 that Xiao Peng was dressed very ordinary, there was sea sand at the hem of his shoes and trousers, and he didn't wear any watches and jewelry. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a rich person, and then think about what Xiao Peng said just now, but I feel that he is talking about it.

"Since Boss Xiao has studied jade carving so much, why don't you carve it yourself?" Nie Yuan said this, just wanting to see Xiao Peng embarrassed.

How do you know that Xiao Peng heard this, but suddenly became enlightened: "Yes, why should I buy it?

Xiao Peng's original plan was to take the three girls to the jewelry store to cover himself, absorb the energy in the jade by himself, and buy a few jade ornaments of similar price for the three of them, which can be regarded as the hard work of covering, but looking at the prices of various jade ornaments here, this hard work is really indispensable.

I just invested such a large amount of money in Qianliyan, and now this money, saving a point is a point. Really let him buy three jade ornaments to give away? I can't afford to give cheap ones, and I can't afford to give expensive ones. Even if you buy three of the same, it's not just a distressing problem, it's a pain in the flesh!

Nie Yuan gave Xiao Peng a hint that the rough stone should be much cheaper than the finished product, right?

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 this, he just mentioned it, he wanted to embarrass Xiao Peng, but he didn't expect Xiao Peng to really buy the original stone and carve it himself? Nie Yuan had an apologetic look on his face: "Boss Xiao, this is embarrassing, we are just a jewelry store, there are only finished jewelry products here, and all the rough stones are in the design department of the Hong Kong Island headquarters, and we don't have them here." ”

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

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

Xiao Peng is depressed now, and it seems that he still has to break the bank to buy finished products.

At this time, a female staff member standing behind Lu Kai said weakly: "I know where I can 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, there are gambling stones, that is, gambling on jade rough and Hetian jade rough stones." ”

When Lu Kai heard this, he shook his head: "Gambling on stones is too risky. That's a bottomless pit, how many people are bankrupt because of this? That's luck, and nine out of ten bets are lost. We, Nie's Jewelry, would rather buy finished materials at a high price than gamble on stones. ”

The so-called clear material refers to the jade raw material that has been unraveled. That's definitely based on quality.

Xiao Peng became interested when he heard it: "I'll go and take a look, and I should open my eyes." The cultural market, right? Sister Ye, let's go and have a look. ”

Seeing that a few people were leaving, Nie Yuan got up to send them off, and he didn't buy anything for a long time, this is not a customer at all, and it is very polite for Nie Yuan to give it away in person. Lu Kai walked to a room, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

"Hey, is it Liu Lao? I'm Xiao Lu of Nie's Jewelry. Lu Kai spoke in a very respectful tone, and this call was made to Liu Zhiming, a master of jade carving.

There was a hearty laugh on the other side of the phone: "It's Xiao Lu, it's not good for you to call me, I really don't have a good creative theme recently, you know, there are fewer and fewer good materials now." I wouldn't be able to carve without good ingredients. ”

Lu Kai hurriedly said: "Old Liu, you misunderstood, I have something to ask you, I want to ask, is the carving technique you use a small splashing knife method?"

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

It's no wonder that Liu Zhiming was surprised. Liu Zhiming has been learning jade carving since he was a child, and his master is a jade carving master in the original royal family, specializing in serving the royal family. Later, when the Qing government fell, he escaped from the palace and returned to the mountains and forests, adopted a child when he was older, and passed on a jade carving craft to this 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 schools of jade carving in China, and many different carving techniques, such as Han Eight Knife, Wisp Carving, Tianji Carving, etc., etc., but unfortunately many carving techniques have been lost." The carving technique we use in this door, called small splashing water, is a kind of jade carving technique in ancient times, and the jade carving master Lu Zigang is using this carving jade carving technique, using the method of outlining the jade carving with a flat knife. It's a pity that Lu Zigang beheaded him too early, and he has no students, so this inheritance is broken. However, there is no endless road, and his assistant Xiaogong is exposed to it every day, but he has also mastered the fur and passed on this inheritance, this Xiaogong, that is, my ancestor. Don't break this lineage. Now in the world, the only people who can splash the knife method are you and me. ”

Later, after the death of Master Liu's father, Liu Zhiming became the only inheritor. How can anyone still know the little splash knife method?

After listening to Liu Lao's words, Lu Kai knew that Liu Zhiming had admitted that he was using the small splashing knife method, which showed that Boss Xiao had vision!

"Elder Liu, I'll call you at night to tell you what's going on, I'll hang up first. After speaking, Lu Kai hung up the phone directly and rushed out.

"Hey, hey?" Liu Lao took the phone and watched Lu Kai hang up his phone like this, a little incomprehensible, he usually dealt with Lu Kai several times. Although this person's status is not low, he is usually polite to everyone, why is he so impolite today and hung up the phone before he finished speaking?

However, what made Liu Lao even more concerned was, how did he know about the little splasher? Lu Kai hung up the phone in a hurry, there must be something important to do, since he said that he would call himself at night, Liu Zhiming decided to listen to Lu Kai's explanation at night.

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

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

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

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