Chapter 223: A Unique Knife

(Dafeng pushed, begged for support, exploded today, and also made up for the previous addition of the leader of the children's shoes alliance...... Thank you for your votes and support...... )

When Wang Cheng took Wang Yuanyuan and ran home on his feet, Li Zhengxiang and Fang Jinwen had already waited at the door of the villa for a while, and Wang Hengjiang came at the same time.

Fang Jinwen gave the villa to Wang Cheng first, and also got the jade work carved by Wang Cheng himself as a gift, which made Wang Hengjiang feel very depressed. Just now he was looking at the jade tripod at Fang Jinwen's house, and he was already envious, and he heard Li Zhengxiang call and asked Fang Jinwen to take the jade tripod to take pictures to make a promotional series, and he could also see Wang Cheng's other works, Wang Hengjiang naturally followed.

This guy was still thinking about seeing if he could mix something with Wang Cheng. Therefore, when he saw Wang Cheng and Wang Yuanyuan, brother and sister, running home, and the little girl's legs and feet were a little immobile, Wang Hengjiang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wang Cheng, how did you run back? I said that I would go to the city to pick you up." ”

Fang Jinwen despised this guy in his heart, and he really had no brains. They all know that Wang Cheng went to Tang's house for treatment today, if people want to take the car home, Secretary Tang will let him and Yuanyuan walk back?

Obviously, people want to exercise themselves.

"Lao Wang, don't talk a little, Wang Cheng and Yuanyuan are exercising. ”

Fang Jinwen came up and pulled Wang Hengjiang to the back, feeling that this guy was really ashamed.

Wang Hengjiang was stunned for a moment, then remembered this stubble, and immediately smiled, and said: "Wang Cheng, don't mind, I'm a straight head." ”

Wang Cheng didn't care. smiled: "What kind of person is Mr. Wang." I know. Hehe. Stop standing, let's go in. ”

The little girl Wang Yuanyuan was so tired that she couldn't walk, and finally walked quickly to the bedroom, probably lying down and not wanting to move.

Li Zhengxiang took a middle-aged man with a calm temperament and a young man carrying a suitcase, and introduced to Wang Cheng as he walked: "Wang Cheng, this is Master He, the appraiser of my company, and this is Xiao Jiang, my apprentice." ”

Wang Cheng nodded. Say hello to the two: "Hello, please go on a trip Master He." ”

"Don't dare, I'm just an errand runner, I can see such a good work, I'm willing to run more. I just got off the plane this morning and saw the little brother's work, the knife work is exquisite, especially the charm is very expressive. If it weren't for Mr. Li's confirmation, I wouldn't have believed that the little brother was so young and had such excellent knife skills. ”

Master He looked at Wang Cheng. He said with admiration in his eyes, and his tone was full of admiration.

Walk into the villa. Wang Cheng beckoned a few people to sit down, and smiled at Master He: "Master He has won the award, these are my idle and boring casual works, they are nothing." If it weren't for Brother Zhengxiang's optimism and insistence on auctioning, I would still like to collect it myself, after all, it is my own works. ”

Li Zhengxiang said with a smile: "Lao He, you don't know, how long did it take me to ask Wang Cheng to get this work." He also has a few works that are also very good, but unfortunately he doesn't shoot them. ”

Master He nodded and smiled approvingly: "This is not strange, I know many hand-carved masters are like this, every piece of excellent work is their hard work, if it is not a last resort, most people will not make a move." Brother Wang Cheng is not short of money, he must be burdened by favors, which means that he has a good relationship with our Mr. Li, hehe. ”

Li Zhengxiang and Wang Cheng are both comfortable in their hearts, and they are good people in the workplace at first glance.

Fang Jinwen opened the box he brought, carefully took out the carefully wrapped Tibetan tripod from it, placed it on the table, and said with a smug smile: "Lao Wang went to my house today, and when he saw this thing, he was reluctant to leave. This is one of the most tasteful things in my collection. ”

Master He's face was stern, he put on his glasses, carefully looked at this jade treasure tripod back and forth, left and right, then put on gloves, gently picked it up and rubbed it, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "This is also the work of the little brother?"

Before Wang Cheng could speak, Li Zhengxiang hurriedly said: "Yes, this is also Wang Cheng's work, this jade Tibetan tripod is a real object imitating the scenic spot Wusheng Mountain in Jiangzhou City, and now the real Tibetan tripod is at the gate of the Tibetan Dingguan, which should be the largest bronze in the world." ”

"Awesome. Master He gave Wang Cheng a thumbs up, his eyes were slightly puzzled, and he asked in amazement: "Little brother should only have one carving knife, right?"

Wang Cheng nodded when he heard this, and admired Master He's vision in his heart, worthy of being a professional appraiser, and said: "Yes, I only have a carving knife, and a knife is easy to use." ”

Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang didn't understand, only Li Zhengxiang and Master He and his apprentice Xiao Jiang were shocked when they heard it, and their eyes were shocked.

Is it really a knife?

Li Zhengxiang didn't ask Wang Cheng about this before, because he hadn't thought about this possibility, he was not a professional master of jade carving, so naturally he couldn't see it from the work. However, he knew that almost every carver would have many tools, and there were many carving knives of different lengths and functions.

Carve a finished product with a knife?

Li Zhengxiang had never heard of it at all, and knew that it was impossible.

If it really appears, then it can only be said that this person is too good.

When carving, the soft and hard of the material is different, and the shape is different, etc., the tools used will be different, hammers, saws and other things may be used, and the carving knife is only one of the main ones. Only materials that have a good natural shape and can be molded with a little carving can be done with a knife. Such works are priceless, not only for the value of artificial handicrafts, but also for the magic of nature.

The works carved by Wang Cheng are all directly processed from jadeite raw materials, and there is no regular shape, and the form and charm are carved out with a knife.

This kind of strength, even Master He, has never heard of it.

"Awesome, awesome!"

Master He said two things in a row, his face was still a little excited, holding this exquisite jade Tibetan tripod in his hand, seeing the simple words on it, this is still a good micro-carving technique. It's also made with a knife.

Both large shapes and miniature engravings are done with a knife. This kind of ability. Speaking of it probably scares everyone in the carver's business.

Wang Cheng also smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "I didn't learn carving, I just wanted to find a way to have fun at first, so I started to try it myself slowly, and there was only one knife, and it was like this." ”

Master He nodded, put down the Jade Hidden Ding, and Xiao Jiang next to him hurriedly picked up the professional camera on his chest and began to take pictures from all angles. This is the mission he came for today. Master He asked Fang Jinwen: "This gentleman, does this jade Tibetan tripod have any intention of making a move?"

Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang didn't understand it very well when they heard it just now, but they knew that Wang Cheng's works were very unusual. Hearing Master He's question, Fang Jinwen hurriedly shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't make a move, I plan to collect it myself, and I want to pass it on to my son as a family heirloom." ”

Master He and Li Zhengxiang were a little pity, but Li Zhengxiang had known this result for a long time. He asked Master He, "Master He, this Tibetan Ding." How much do you estimate it will be worth?"

Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang hurriedly pricked up their ears again, they businessmen like to measure things by specific prices, and they will have a bottom in their hearts.

Wang Cheng also looked at Master He with a slight curiosity, although he didn't care about money, but he also wanted to know the value of his own works.

Master He glanced at a few people, picked up the Tibetan tripod again and looked at it carefully, took off his gloves and touched the texture and the pattern text on it, and then slowly spoke: "The best jade material, plus the top knife work, and the special craftsmanship of a knife." This work, if properly promoted, has a starting price of at least 50 million, and it is not difficult to sell hundreds of millions of dollars when you meet someone you like. ”

Wang Hengjiang and Fang Jinwen's eyes widened when they heard this, and they couldn't believe it, this thing is worth at least 50 million?

When Zhang Daqian was alive, his paintings were sold to garbage collectors on the roadside for only a few yuan, and after his death, they were directly worth millions after more than ten years.

When Van Gogh was alive, he committed suicide because he was poor and couldn't afford to eat, and now a painting is worth hundreds of millions.

What is a work of art?

In the eyes of local tyrants like Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang, it is just a hyped weapon for coercion, which itself has no meaning. Like Van Gogh's oil painting of sunflowers, professionals tell what symbolism and special painting techniques in it, for those wealthy buyers, they don't understand at all, and they don't care at all, they only care about whether everyone knows about it.

Through the hype, everyone thinks that this kind of thing is tall, then it is a work of art, even if there is a piece of painted on that piece of paper, it can be sold for millions.

Wang Cheng's works are worth so much now?

Even if it is these superb glass materials, it will be tens of millions at most, and with the value of Wang Cheng's handiwork, it will increase fivefold?

Fang Jinwen suddenly felt that it was too worthwhile to invest in Wang Cheng. gave a villa worth forty or fifty million, and got a more valuable jade artwork.

In ten years, eight years, or even a hundred years, this thing will only increase in value several times, or even ten times.

Wang Hengjiang now has the urge to slap himself in the face, why can't he think about it more? Why can't he build a villa and give it to Wang Cheng directly? Why didn't he give the key directly in the first place?

The price of this thing is not valued by Wang Hengjiang and Fang Jinwen, the two local tyrants, because none of them will really sell it if they get it. What they value most is meaning, which symbolizes taste, which is commonly known as the meaning of high quality.

Wang Cheng was also slightly stunned, still a little unbelieving in his heart, he just carved something with a knife when he was idle, and he could be so valuable?

Master He put down the jade treasure tripod and said in an affirmative tone: "It will only be more valuable than I said, and the art is the most uncertain." But little brother, this work of yours, the best materials are placed here, plus the top knife work, and the special craftsmanship of a knife, are all clearly visible. The only thing you lack is fame, so your work will only become more and more valuable in the future. The craftsmanship of a knife may be the only one in the world. ”

Li Zhengxiang was also trembling with excitement, he knew his true treasure, looked at Wang Cheng and smiled: "Wang Cheng." Do you want to take out all your stuff. I'll help you auction it? Make you a great artist. ”

Wang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I still don't want it." Don't forget the terms we agreed upon, otherwise I won't sell a single thing. ”

When Li Zhengxiang heard this, he hurriedly turned pale and promised: "Then for sure, don't worry, we will definitely not force you." If you want to sell it, you can give it to me, and it will definitely auction you to the highest price. You don't want to sell, but we're still good friends. ”

"It's for the best. ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Then you can come in and take pictures, I put all my things in the study." ”

Fang Jinwen's eyes lit up, most of this villa was personally arranged by him, he was definitely more familiar with Wang Cheng than him, and he was more familiar with his own home, and smiled directly: "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”

Master Ho and Little Ginger. and Wang Hengjiang have never seen it, and their expressions are a little impatient.

Wang Cheng and Fang Jinwen took them to the study. An antique shelf that occupies one wall is divided into irregular lattices of different sizes, and there are more than a dozen lattices in which there are pieces of jade carvings, which are very beautiful under the support of the lights at the back.

Among them, the jade Wusheng Mountain is the most attractive, because the material is the best and the shape is the most beautiful.

Master He and Xiao Jiang came directly to the Jade Martial Saint Mountain, stretched out their hands and carefully picked it up, looking at it carefully. Master He exclaimed: "This piece is also a fine product, and it is more valuable than that piece of Tibetan Ding." With a small piece of jadeite, an almost complete mountain is carved, and the Taoist hall, Tibetan ding, and figure statues on it are clearly visible. This work should be the pinnacle of the little brother's technique, right?"

Wang Cheng listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, what I can do now, that's almost it." ”

Li Zhengxiang said regretfully: "Hey, Wang Cheng, it would be good if you could hand over this Martial Saint Mountain to me for auction." ”

"Hehe, it's impossible, that tiger is my biggest limit, Brother Zhengxiang, don't talk about this. ”

Wang Cheng smiled, shook his head and said.

"Okay, then I'll be your Jade Tiger spokesperson in the future. ”

Li Zhengxiang nodded, he could only accept this reality.

Fang Jinwen looked at these jade handicrafts, and couldn't wait to move them all home and put them together with his Tibetan Ding, which would definitely make the local tyrants in Jiangzhou envious. Wang Hengjiang is the most depressed one among everyone, because he didn't get any of them, and now when he hears the words of Wang Cheng and Li Zhengxiang, he knows that it is even more impossible to buy it from Wang Cheng, if he opens this mouth, he will only offend Wang Cheng, so he can only watch silently depressed.

"By the way, Zhengxiang, how much does Wang Cheng's tiger cost?"

Fang Jinwen asked curiously. In fact, he liked the tiger even more in his heart, because it was really too powerful and domineering, just like the real thing, and ordinary timid people might not dare to look at the tiger's eyes, for fear of being eaten by the tiger.

While looking at Wang Cheng's other works, Master He said with a slight solemnity: "All the works of Wang Cheng's little brother are high-quality products, and this Wusheng Mountain can also be regarded as the pinnacle of technology. Personally, though, I think that the tiger is more valuable and artistic. Because not only the knife work is exquisite, but the craftsmanship of a knife is unique. What is even more rare is the vivid and expressive charm, I was shocked at the first sight. ”

Xiao Jiang, who took the photo, also said: "Yes, the tiger also scared me, his eyes were very scary, and he wanted to eat people." ”

Wang Cheng didn't speak, he wouldn't tell them, the tiger's momentum and eyes were actually the state of mind in his heart at that time. In the past two days, he completely let go of the Tiger Nine Styles and focused on the Daomen Boxing Method, and the anger in his heart has decreased a lot.

Master He continued to speak: "So, that tiger, I estimate it to be at least 80 million. The material is of the highest quality, the top craftsmanship of a knife, the verve of lifelike, there is no reason why it will be less than 80 million. In fact, I would like to auction this tiger in a few years, first sell some relatively ordinary high-level works to improve fame, and then sell the tiger, the price will at least double, and it may set an auction record for zào carved crafts. ”

Li Zhengxiang is also a pity, he is a businessman, and it is instinct to maximize profits. He really wanted to do it if he could. But Wang Cheng's temper is so hard, he knows that he can't say this, otherwise he will offend Wang Cheng, it's good to get this tiger now, anyway, others can't get anything from Wang Cheng, he is exclusive, it's enough.

Sure enough, Wang Cheng shook his head and said: "Forget it, just sell it like this, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, just don't lose money." ”

When the others listened, they were speechless. If Wang Cheng was willing, any of them would be absolutely willing to provide any material for free to carve for Wang Cheng, and then spend a lot of money to buy the work from Wang Cheng's hands.

Bang Bang Bang ~

Xiao Jiang pressed the shutter of the camera, and after a while, he took pictures of all of Wang Cheng's works from all angles, and took a few photos of the entire shelf.

Li Zhengxiang also took out the contract and handed it to Wang Cheng to sign, which was a formal consignment auction agreement.

The tiger was estimated at 80 million, and the contract stipulated in detail, and Li Zhengxiang promised that he would sell it at the lowest price and would not charge a commission fee for the formalities. And if the work is lost, or accidentally damaged due to various reasons of their organizers, compensation will be made at three times the price.

Wang Cheng took a look at it, signed the contract, handed it to Li Zhengxiang, and it officially took effect. (To be continued!)
