Chapter 271 (Happy Chinese New Year!)

As he spoke, the corners of Xu Zhiguo's mouth and the smile seemed to be even thicker.

After all, if Jia Nidao's business grows bigger, his reputation as a jade carver under Jia Nidao will naturally rise. If Xu Zhiguo is still working on the side of "Liu Ji", even if he has good jadeite materials, it will be difficult for him Xu Zhiguo to carve, so if you want to become famous, it will undoubtedly take more time!

The fame of the so-called carving master is not as direct and beneficial as the high value of the jadeite work itself. It's like a national treasure-level jadeite ornament suddenly appears on the market, so the carver of this work will naturally become famous. If there is an ornament carved from ordinary jadeite material, no matter how good the carving master's craftsmanship is, it will give people the impression that the carving master's talent is very good and has great potential.

In terms of the larger picture, whether it is the jadeite industry or some other industries, why is it not the case?

Especially in the diamond industry, as long as the diamonds themselves are big enough and famous, which one of them is not famous all over the world, even if it is not famous all over the world, at least, it is also the best in the diamond industry, right?

So, to put it bluntly, in Xu Zhiguo's heart, he must hope that the blood jade bracelet in Jia Rudao's hand will become as famous as possible. Of course, as far as the jadeite industry is concerned, it is still not enough to just circulate styles such as jadeite bracelets. If the blood jade jade can be carved into a jade ornament, perhaps, Xu Zhiguo's fame will be even greater. However, as far as Xu Zhiguo thinks, under Jia Rudao's hands, he hasn't worked for a month, and this blood jade bracelet is available, as long as he continues to do it, will there be less other good and suitable jade materials?

"Hehe, Xiao Xu, you quite understand my thoughts. Jia Rudao didn't think about it as much as Xu Zhiguo, and when he heard that the other party was also in favor of announcing it on the Internet, he was quite satisfied, "I discussed it with Uncle Zhou before, and I thought about it, and first made some low-grade jadeite products on the Internet to sell." Through the Internet, to gather some jade lovers, these potential customers, if the credibility is good, perhaps, in the future, there is really a chance to get a few big customers. ”

"Boss, I'm very much in favor of such a sales method. Xu Zhiguo nodded when he heard this, and suddenly, seeing Jia Rudao coming here this morning, he still carried a slanted shoulder bag by his side, although it was not as happy as the common gray and black sè leather bag, but if this slanted shoulder bag was filled with a few small pieces of jade material, it was still very possible, and he couldn't help but move, and even his eyes were on Jia Nidao's bag, and he subconsciously looked at it a few more times, and asked with a smile, "Boss, is your bag filled with jade material?"

Otherwise, this early in the morning, with a bag on his back, he came to the factory, which was indeed a bit of a surprise to Xu Zhiguo.

"Guess what?" Jia seemed to hear this, but he also replied with a smile. Even, when answering, Xu Zhiguo saw the smile on Jia Yidao's face.

At that moment, Xu Zhiguo replied with certainty: "Since I guess, it must be jade material." ”

"Isn't it?" Jia Yidao glanced at Xu Zhiguo curiously, and asked, "Why do I want you to guess, it has to be jade material?" After speaking, Jia Yidao deliberately looked at the bag he was carrying diagonally on his shoulder.

"Otherwise, what else could it be?" Xu Zhiguo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Could it be a bonus? I don't think, boss, you will give a bonus before you open your business." I can't say it, you already know that I carved the Blood Jade Bracelet in advance, and I came to reward my ?...... However, that's not right. Xu Zhiguo frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "This blood jade bracelet was also carved by me just now in the early hours of this morning, if it is the boss, you will have to come for more than ten or twenty minutes in the morning, perhaps, you can see how I carved it." You know, it can be completed at this time, even Uncle Zhou, I haven't had time to tell them. Could it be that he told you last night? He left behind a piece of blood jade jade? Boss, you are going to come here and try your luck?"

"Alright, alright, don't talk nonsense there. Jia Rudao stretched out his hand to stop it, if Xu Zhiguo kept guessing, God knows what he would think, "However, what you just said that Uncle Zhou left a piece of blood jade jade material for you to carve, what do you mean?"

"Boss, don't you know this?" Xu Zhiguo's eyes widened, and he looked at Jia Yidao, as if he had seen something incredible. After confirming Jia Yidao's expression, he said, "All along, all the important jade materials have been proposed by me to Uncle Zhou, and I plan what to carve tomorrow, and he will bring them from the storage room in the morning of the second day." ”

After all, although the protective measures on the side of the factory are already in place, the high value of jadeite materials can be seen. There is still an essential difference with those jadeite rough stones that have not been cut. Zhou Fugui's careful approach is a bit troublesome, but it is also an appropriate measure.

For example, when cutting stones today, he cut out the best glass green jadeite, within one day, Xu Zhiguo could not complete all the carvings of these jadeite materials, then, in the evening, Zhou Fugui would bring the jadeite materials that were not carved and returned to the storage room. Early in the morning, I brought back the jadeite materials that needed to be carved.

As for the finished jadeite, needless to say, all of them were stored in the storage room on the same day.

And if Xu Zhiguo arrived earlier than Zhou Fugui in the early morning, then he would have carved some jade materials that were more common than the jadeite materials in the factory. It's like some small jade pendants or something, like the kind that Jia Yidao tried here yesterday afternoon. Generally speaking, there are still a lot of such jadeite materials in the factory.

However, last night, because Xu Zhiguo had already decided, the night time would be used to work overtime. And got up early on the second day, taking advantage of the relatively quiet time in the factory, carved a blood jade bracelet. Zhou Fugui thought about it for a while, and left a piece of material that was enough to carve a blood jade bracelet.

You must know that the whole piece of blood jade jade material was cut by Xu Zhiguo in advance. The carved jade bracelets, the carved ring faces, and even the carved blood jade jade pendants are already very clear!

In this way, in Xu Zhiguo's heart, if Jia Rudao really wanted to know that he could carve a blood jade bracelet in the morning, he would naturally know it from Zhou Fugui.

After listening to Xu Zhiguo's explanation, the corners of Jia Rudao's mouth curled, but his head shook slightly, and said, "If you really want to talk about it, I'm not here to peek at your carving." In the same way, it is not an unpredictable prophet, but someone who came to admire the blood jade bracelet you just carved, this, I can only say, is a coincidence. ”

"Then boss, aren't you really going to send jade materials?" Xu Zhiguo was very happy. Said, "Why don't you open it quickly, let me appreciate it first?" I think, in terms of the boss you personally sent it over, and it was still in a hurry, it should be a very high-quality jade material, right?"

"Neither. Jia Rudao was also speechless. Why is it that Xu Zhiguo's mouth is still jadeite material in addition to jadeite material? Can't you imagine that he, Jia Nidao, is also a person who can carve jade? Of course, such an idea is that Jia Nidao is secretly happy in his heart. As far as his two moments are concerned, if he doesn't have the perception of supernatural abilities, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether he can carve it into the shape of a little Guanyin.

"Come, let me appreciate the achievements of you, a disciple who has just graduated from the teacher, that is, myself, after a hard night last night. Saying that, Jia Nidao opened his backpack, in addition to some simple jade materials, which Jia Nidao was going to take over and let Xu Zhiguo carve some jade pendants, the rest was the jade Guanyin statue that Jia Nidao used his mind to wrap in paper towels.

The size of the whole work is not large, about three fingers thick, and the thickness is about the same as that of a finger. Such a jade Guanyin pendant, if it appears on the market, can be regarded as a relatively large pendant. Most of the jadeite pendants on the market are dug out of the scraps, and most of them are two finger thicknesses.

Xu Zhiguo took it with one hand, and said with a happy smile in his mouth: "It seems that the boss, you are working as hard as me, an employee, I said, I work so overtime, and I don't get a bonus, I was still a little depressed in my heart, this is good, even the boss you have worked so hard with me, if I don't work hard, don't I want to be compared to the boss? Now it seems that my mood must be a lot better." I can't say it, I'm going to work harder in the next day......"

However, as he spoke, Xu Zhiguo's voice was much lighter. The attention seemed to be all at once on the jade pendant in his hand.

"How is it?" Jia Rudao felt in his heart, quite a bit like when he was in school, looking forward to the time when the teacher revised his test papers. I hope to get Xu Zhiguo's affirmation, but I also have a little doubt that my work is not very bad!

"Boss, is this really carved out by you?" Xu Zhiguo raised his eyes and glanced at Jia Nidao, and then immediately came to his senses, talking to Jia Nidao like this, the tone was undoubtedly wrong, after all, familiar is familiar, and what is usually a joke is a usual joke. If you really want to talk about it, Jia Rudao is also Xu Zhiguo's boss, but such suspicious words should not be. So, Xu Zhiguo immediately explained with a smile, "That, boss, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's really hard to believe that this pendant of Jade Guanyin was carved by you last night?"

"Oh, why do you say that?" Jia Rudao was stunned in his heart, and in his mind, he understood a little why Xu Zhiguo asked such a question, but, on the surface, he still pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "Xiao Xu, tell me honestly first, is this thing carved well?"

"Okay. When Xu Zhiguo heard this, he wanted to pat his hand and express his appreciation, but at this time, he was reluctant to put it down because he was still holding the jade Guanyin pendant in his hand.

And Jia Rudao's side, the heart that has been hanging has finally been let go.

"Then you can explain to me, this thing, what's the matter, it's okay?" Jia Rudao said, and deliberately looked at the Jade Guanyin pendant, and said, "From my point of view, the appearance of this Jade Guanyin pendant can be seen." However, it is a little too rough. Moreover, although the knife technique is relatively smooth, the overall feeling is not bad. However, compared with the jadeite jewelry sold in ordinary jadeite shops, it is much worse, how can it be considered good?"

This is also the doubt that Jia Yidao has suppressed in his heart for a night. As soon as he asked, Jia Rudao's eyes looked at Xu Zhiguo, expecting his answer.

"That, boss, I won't talk about this thing for the time being, what's the good thing, I'll just ask, boss, have you ever seen such a carver before?" Xu Zhiguo glanced at Jia Yidao, as if he wanted to explain it more accurately, and added a sentence, saying, "I'm not talking about the shape of this Guanyin pendant, but about its carving technique." ”

"I haven't seen it yet. Jia Rudao shook his head. I wondered in my heart that if it weren't for the help of my ability perception, God knows if anyone would be able to see it in this life.

"That's it. Xu Zhiguo said. Sighing, he seemed to subconsciously look at the blood jade bracelet he carved, and said, "Let's just talk about this jade bracelet, because my carving technique was learned from my master, although to put it bluntly, it can be regarded as more jīng Zhan, but it is relatively easy to find a few carvers with similar techniques to mine." It's not that I underestimated myself, I can honestly say that the material of this piece of blood jade jade, if I hadn't carved it. Find another carver, and you should be able to do what I carved. If I can find a master of the skill jīng Zhan, it will definitely be more perfect than the blood jade bracelet I carved. ”

"That's natural. Hearing this, Jia seemed to echo the words. Although Xu Zhiguo's craftsmanship is good, compared to Li Lao, it is a piece of cake. Although Jia Rudao didn't ask Old Man Li to help carve once, it is a well-known common sense! Otherwise, how could there be so many people who want to invite Old Man Li to carve?

However, although Jia Rudao's mouth agreed with Xu Zhiguo's statement, in his eyes, looking at Xu Zhiguo, he still had a little doubt. Some don't quite understand why Xu Zhiguo said this.

"Boss, you don't have to look at me like that. What I said earlier is nothing more than emphasizing the importance of a jadeite carver's style. Xu Zhiguo pondered for a moment before he continued, "It is true that a master carver, their techniques are very mature, and there will be no rough failures, even if it is a few simple knives, a few clicks, you can carve a jade ornament to life." However, these are all built on a skillful basis. There is only style, which is related to a person's xìngzi, cultivation and the like, and other things. ”

"Could it be that such a jade Guanyin pendant can still see the carver's interests and hobbies?" Speaking of this, Jia Rudao was a little embarrassed to admit that this thing was carved by himself.

"Not really. Xu Zhiguo shook his head and said, "A person's style is actually divided into two aspects. One is the heritage. That is to say, the advent of a jadeite work has a lot to do with the carver's own cultivation and aesthetic vision. To put it bluntly, this is the influence of the 'soft xìng' on the jadeite carving. ”

"The influence of this 'soft xìng', the word 'soft xìng', is well used. I guess if you let the old man Li from Jieyang carve it, his fame should also be one of the factors that affect the quality of a jade work, right?" Jia Yidao nodded and said, suddenly, raised his eyes at Xu Zhiguo, and asked, "Old man Li, you know, right?"

"Of course I do. Xu Zhiguo glanced at Jia Rudao, "Boss, that's our 'Liu Ji' carving line's old connoisseur." ”

"Oh, I forgot, Xiao Xu, you are also a member of 'Liu Ji'. Jia seems to be happy, but secretly, there is still some nostalgia for a jade shop like "Liu Ji", which still has a heritage, which is still not something that Jia like Dao can have in three or two days, nor is it an ordinary shop, ten or twenty years, it can be crossed. Jia Rudao is in the jade line, and the road to be taken is still long.

At that moment, he changed the topic and asked: "Since, the influence of this 'soft xìng' has appeared." So, what about the effects of 'hard xìng'?"

"Knife work!" Xu Zhiguo said very simply, "Only knife work is the hard xìng indicator on the jade carving!"
