Chapter 860: Live Performance (Part II)
"It's ingenious, good!"
Qin Haichuan opened his mouth and praised loudly, before the old man's words fell, there was already a cheering voice in the audience, after seeing the skills shown by Fang Yi, all the doubts in everyone's hearts were dispelled, this young man who has been in the limelight for more than a year really has real talent and learning.

"Okay, yes, but Fang Yi, you made our selection committee sit on wax. ”
Yu Xuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You have listed Shoushan Stone as a national stone, if the result of the selection is not the same, what should you do? Will the people present scold us as the members of the selection committee?"
Yu Xuan told Fang Yi the results, but except for the dozen or so people on the selection committee, the rest of the people didn't know, Fang Yi came to such a show, which would really have some impact on the results of the selection.
If the national stone is not Shoushan stone, these people present will think that they have no vision for the selection committee, but if it is Shoushan stone, then I am afraid that some people will think that Yu Xuan, Qin Haichuan and others have been affected by this seal, in short, no matter what the result is, I am afraid that the results of the selection will attract some criticism.
Qin Haichuan obviously also thought of this layer, such a major matter as the selection of national stones, there is no room for a little mistake, and he immediately said: "Lao Yu, I see that everyone is here, why don't we have a small meeting?"
"Okay, Fang Yi, you wait here first, the old stone has asked people to take things, let's go to a meeting." ”
Yu Xuanyan nodded when he heard this, in fact, there was a government structure to supervise the selection, but the credibility of the government is just the same thing, they still need to discuss a safe way to let everyone recognize this selection.
"You take this object, don't give it to the old stone, if he cheats, he won't give it to you." ”
When Yu Xuan was leaving, he returned the seal engraved with the Shoushan National Stone to Fang Yi, and reminded Fang Yi jokingly, so angry that the old stone blew his beard behind him and glared, and spat at Yu Xuan several times.
"Fang Yi, show me. Bai Chuxia, who had been silently following Fang Yi, stretched out her hand and asked Fang Yi to get up, but she was a little unsteady when she picked it up, and almost fell to the ground.
Bai Chuxia's actions made the onlookers almost raise their hearts to their throats, this thing is very brittle, if it falls to the ground, then I am afraid that the hearts of this group of people will also be broken.
"Here you go, I almost fell. Bai Chuxia stuck out his tongue and hurriedly returned the seal to Fang Yi.
"If you fall, you fall, it's just a gadget. Fang Yi said indifferently, in his heart, this thing is really nothing, if Bai Chuxia is happy, Fang Yi is willing to carve ten or eight for Bai Chuxia to wrestle with.
"Look at those people, they look like they're going to eat me, and I don't dare to fall. Bai Chuxia grinned, and still stuffed the seal back into Fang Yi's hand.
"Ahem, Xiao Fang, can you show me that seal?" With Yu Xuan's words just now, Lao Shi didn't have the confidence to take up the seal, "Don't listen to your teacher, your old Uncle Shi is not that kind of person, how could he ask for your child's things?"
"Uncle Shi, give it!" Fang Yi smiled and handed over the seal, but it was just a thing for the occasion, even if the old stone was not returned, Fang Yi would only laugh at it.
"Sure enough, it's ingenious, you can carve a miniature carving with a straight knife, you are the first in China!"
Carefully look at the seal in his hand, the old stone is full of praise, although he has no achievements in the gold and stone seal carving, but after playing with the seal stone for a lifetime, the old stone's vision is extremely vicious.
In order not to give Fang Yi black, the old stone just said miniature carving, in fact, in his opinion, Fang Yi's skills in both seal carving and carving are unmatched in China, including those master-level craftsmen of the older generation, even if they are at their peak, they are not as good as Fang Yi's current craftsmanship.
"Uncle Shi, you have won the prize. Fang Yi smiled, and he didn't take the words of the old stone, others could say it if he praised it, but if he admitted it, he would be accused of being cheeky.
"Oh, here you go, save yourself from going back and talking about me. ”
After playing with it in his hand for a long time, the old stone reluctantly returned the seal to Fang Yi, in fact, if he hadn't been squeezed by Yu Xuan before, the old stone might really have the idea of taking it for himself.
"Teacher Fang, I don't know if you can show me this seal?" said the senior manager that Fang Yi had seen before said with a smile.
"No problem. Fang Yi casually handed him the seal.
"Teacher Fang, you can let it go, let it go. ”
Different from the casualness when Bai Chuxia received the seal, Manager Gao didn't dare to take it by hand at all, and asked Fang Yi to put it on the booth, and before Fang Yi put it down, Manager Gao didn't know where to take out a cotton handkerchief and put it underneath.
In order to show his caution, Manager Gao did not get his hands on this seal from beginning to end, at most he used his hand to change the direction of the seal to observe, and there were seven or eight people around the booth, all of whom were looking at this Shoushan National Stone like Manager Gao.
"Fang Yi, I'm convinced!"
Hua Ziyi, who came with Fang Yi, was really convinced by Fang Yi at this time, he remembered that Fang Yi didn't have this amazing skill last year, but he hadn't seen it for a short year, Fang Yi had achieved such an achievement in carving skills.
"You kid, I don't think there's anything you can't do except not have children. ”
Wei Mingcheng also muttered in a low voice, after knowing Fang Yi's unknown things, Wei Mingcheng was more acceptable to Fang Yi's skills, because in Wei Mingcheng's opinion, people who could enter the hidden group were all perverts, and as the worship of the hidden group, Fang Yi was naturally a pervert among the perverts.
"Teacher Fang, I would like to ask, does your seal mean to sell?"
After everyone observed this Shoushan national stone seal, the eagerness in the eyes did not decrease, but became more and more fanatical, this set of culture and art and one of the objects, in the market is definitely the fastest value-added, not to mention that it also has a special meaning, which is even more commendable.
"For sale?" Fang Yi frowned when he heard this, he really hadn't thought about this question.
"Yes, Mr. Fang, you have let everyone know what art is today, although it is a bit cheesy to link art to money, but I think everyone hopes that it can have a market price that matches its value, right?"
The person who spoke had a clever mouth, and he just wanted Fang Yi to let go and sell this seal, although the final buyer may not be him, but as long as Fang Yi is willing to sell, he naturally has a certain chance.
"And how much do you think this seal will be worth?"
Fang Yi asked with a smile, he didn't dislike the connection between art and money, because if art can't be sold for money, then all artists need to drink the northwest wind to live, and no one will go hungry to engage in art nowadays.
"Ten, no, two hundred thousand!" the man had originally uttered a number, but had changed his words as soon as he said it.
"200,000 yuan, do you know the price of Mr. Fang's works in the market?"
"That is, 200,000 is too embarrassed to say? Mr. Fang's jade carving works are now all from 200,000. ”
"Teacher Fang, I'll give you 300,000 yuan, why don't you give me this seal?"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand, this object is rare. ”
"400,000 yuan, isn't it money? Mr. Fang's artwork is not too much. ”
As soon as the man's words fell, there were all kinds of ridicule and quotation sounds around him, and what surprised Fang Yi was that in just a short period of time, the seal on the booth jumped to a high price of 400,000 yuan, and looking at the posture on the field, there were still people who wanted to make an offer.
With Yu Xuan, the teacher, Fang Yi still knows a lot about the art market of seals, he knows that the year before last, Hong Kong Island once auctioned a private seal of Emperor Qianlong, and the price of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars was auctioned at that time, and the emperor's cultural relics were only auctioned for 200,000 yuan, and Fang Yi's works were shouted to 400,000 yuan, which made him feel a little shocked.
"Guys, guys, that's so lovely. ”
Fang Yi was a little speechless and arched his hand to the surroundings, this price really can't be shouted anymore, if there is really a sky-high price seal today, then Fang Yi's reputation will be even greater, I am afraid that in the future, as long as someone I know, he will ask for a seal.
"Xiao Fang, I like this seal very much, or you can get it for me. ”
At this moment, Lao Shi opened his mouth slowly, "Uncle Shi, I don't take advantage of you, I will give you one million for this seal, and you can also choose three pieces of material from me at will, how about it?"
"A million? Boss Shi is crazy, right?"
"It's like, priceless, that's to say, it's not worth a million anyway. ”
The quotation of the old stone caused a sensation in the field, because so far, except for a few emperor's jade seals that have been auctioned abroad for more than one million, the price of modern and modern seals is not high, let alone million, 100,000 is extremely rare.
"Uncle Shi, if you like it, take it, talk about money or not. ”
Hearing the old stone's offer, Fang Yi couldn't help but wave his hand again and again, he also thought that it was not worth so much, if he really accepted this offer, the teacher might not know how to clean himself up, the relationship between the teacher and the old stone, Fang Yi saw it better than anyone else.
"Fang Yi, friendship is friendship, business belongs to business...... Old Stone shook his head and said: "If you accept this money, I will take the thing, if you don't accept it, this thing is still yours." ”
"Uncle Shi, I don't plan to sell this thing at all. ”
Fang Yi was forced by the old stone to smile bitterly, he just casually asked what price the person offered, and the audience exploded at this time, and there was a live auction, the most important thing is that no one asked Fang Yi if he was willing to sell at this auction.
"If you don't sell it, Uncle Shi won't force you, but if you do, then you must sell it to me. Although Lao Shi's words were domineering, it did not arouse the disgust of many people, because Lao Shi was qualified and confident to say so.
As one of the earliest people engaged in Shoushan stone mining, the old stone has been in his hands until now there are two Shoushan stone mines, don't look at him dressed like an old farmer in the countryside, in fact, as early as a few years ago, the old stone has been worth hundreds of millions, and there are really few people in the field who can compare with him.
"Fang Yi, it's right that you don't sell anything!"
Yu Xuan's voice came from outside the crowd, and everyone looked back, but the people of the selection committee were all there, but standing at the front was the director of the selection committee, different from Yu Xuan and other social figures, this was a deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture.
"Minister Gong is going to speak, please be quiet. A government official spoke, and the noise in the room suddenly disappeared.
"Originally, it was planned to be announced tomorrow morning, but this Teacher Fang gave us a problem, after consulting the superior leaders and obtaining consent, now I announce that Shoushan Stone is the National Stone of Huaxia!"
Minister Gong's voice is very loud and concise, and he announced the results of the selection straight to the point, "This selection is the result of yesterday afternoon, which is fair and effective, let us congratulate Shoushan Stone in Fujian Province on becoming the national stone of China!"
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, under the lead of Minister Gong, even if some people in the field are not very happy, they can only follow the applause, in the first two years of evaluation, Shoushan stone is listed as the first candidate for the national stone, so this result is acceptable to everyone.
"Xiao Fang, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree. ”
After the applause stopped, Minister Gong looked at Fang Yi and said, "We discussed it just now, the meaning of your seal is very appropriate to this conference, I want to keep him as a national stone seal in the Gem and Jade Association, what do you think?"
"Donate?" Fang Yi blinked.
"So to speak. Minister Gong nodded and said, "The Gem and Jade Association is a non-governmental organization, and it is estimated that there is not so much money to buy your seal." ”
As soon as Minister Gong's words fell, the audience became unusually quiet, just now others sold one million and wanted to buy Yiyi, although you are a minister, you can't just take things away with empty words.
"Okay!"
What everyone didn't expect was that Fang Yi agreed very simply, he originally felt that this Shoushan National Stone was like a hot potato, and it was not sold or given away, but now that the country wants it, then simply donate it.
"Okay, Xiao Fang's high style and bright festival are worth learning from!" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Minister Gong also felt a little surprised, he originally thought that he would have to buckle a few big hats before Fang Yi agreed, but he didn't expect the other party to be so neat.
"Empty words, nothing substantial. ”
This time, even Wei Mingcheng behind Fang Yi began to pout, this Wei Mingcheng was thinking in his heart, if this Minister Gong knew Fang Yi's true identity, would he still be able to let Fang Yi donate this seal so confidently?
"Teacher Yu, I think we should have a donation ceremony? Give Comrade Xiaofang an award?" Minister Gong also felt that what he had done was a little inauthentic, and turned his face to Yu Xuan at the moment, in fact, the matter of donating seals was brought up by Yu Xuan.
"No, the seal is here, teacher, I'll hand it over to you to complete the donation. Before Yu Xuan could speak, Fang Yi picked up the seal and stuffed it into the teacher's hand, he has been very busy these days, where can he have the time and government officials to do these superficial articles.
"Okay, Mr. Hui will give you a collection certificate. Yu Xuan nodded and said to Minister Gong: "Fang Yi is still young, there is no need to give such a high honor, I think this is good." ”
Hearing the conversation between Fang Yi and Yu Xuan, although Minister Gong was not very happy in his heart, it was impossible for him to show his emotions on his face as a leader, so he nodded at the moment and said, "Okay, we fully respect the wishes of the parties. ”
"Uncle Shi, there's nothing going on here, let's go and see your goods. ”
Fang Yi stayed in this venue, feeling like a national treasure panda, everyone's eyes were on him, and when the leader spoke, he pulled an old stone, and the two quietly retreated outside the crowd.
