Chapter 613: Confusion
At the age of twenty-eight, Yang Yaoshan went to Dafeng Mountain in Ganzhou to buy crystal and jade raw materials for carving, and went to the nearby Dunhuang Grottoes. Yang Yaoshan drew inspiration from the Dunhuang Buddha statues and found that jadeite was particularly suitable for Buddhist themes that expressed tranquility, peace and purity.
Two years later, that is, when Yang Yaoshan was thirty years old, he personally designed and produced Zuò's natural crystal work "King Hercules", which was collected by the Guimet Museum in France.
Since then, Yang Yaoshan's works have won the gold medal of the Chinese Jade Hundred Flowers Award for many times, and he is known as "the first person to carve jadeite on the theme of Tibetan Buddhism".
Nowadays, in the south of Caiyun, in Dongguang, and in Myanmar, there are Yaoshan Jade Carving Co., Ltd. founded by Yang Yaoshan, and exquisite jade carving works continue to go to the world from here.
In fact, the work that best expresses Yang Yaoshan's level is still a work called "Young Dragon", which is his late work, although it has nothing to do with Buddhist themes, but it is very worth mentioning.
The point is that the jadeite used in this carving is not precious.
The material of the work is oil green jadeite, which is limited by the transparency of cotton spots. What Yang Yaoshan found in the corner of the wall of a warehouse of a jade wool company was the lid of a large piece of wool. Others think it's useless. Yang Yaoshan thinks that the bottom feels good, but there is more cotton. After buying it, Tong Guò thought repeatedly for more than a year, turning decay into magic. Use cotton dots skillfully. Later, the method of dealing with cotton dots was the "hollowing method", but Yang Yaoshan boldly innovated and used cotton dots to make the scales of the young dragon. The appearance of the young dragon soaring through the clouds is vividly depicted.
Dragons in China are auspicious signs, meaning a prosperous career. Combining peace and security, the dragon was also an auspicious animal in ancient times, symbolizing wealth and happiness. The sound of the dragon also symbolizes "close", which has the meaning of walking alone in the world, making wide progress, keeping peace, all the best, and having a successful career.
Yang Yaoshan skillfully used the material of the material, carving a young dragon and trees inside the yellowed shell of this jadeite. The meaning of yellow is the abundance of grains, a golden harvest scene, the meaning of the dragon is blessed with "dragon", and the tree is together to symbolize the spread and prosperity of the generations, the family is always noble, and the wealth is long-term and other inheritance meanings. Among them, the young dragon is exquisitely carved, vivid, lifelike, and every button on the body is depicted in detail. It is the highlight of this work, reflecting Yang Yaoshan's extraordinary attainments in animal carving.
This is a masterpiece that turns waste into treasure in the true sense, Yang Yaoshan spent a hundred yuan at the beginning, but after this thing was sold. But it was sold for more than five million.
The reason why Yang Yaoshan has such an important position in the jadeite circle may not only be because his entire family owns twenty-two jadeite mines, but also because of his excellent jadeite carving skills. Don't say anything else. Just talking about the carving of "Young Dragon", in fact, the whole work is very simple and concise. But because Yang Yaoshan's carving is so exquisite, that Professor Li Mingguang, who rarely praises people, has a thumbs up. He said: "I am fortunate to accept disciples like this! The subtlety is rare in eternity!"
It is precisely because of Li Mingguang's words, coupled with the fact that Yang Yaoshan's works have repeatedly sold for high prices, this person's fame has spread in the industry, and now if you want to talk about the carving master, he is definitely one of the best, Zhang Tianyuan may surpass it in the future, but now it must be incomparable.
After listening to Wu Gang's introduction to Yang Yaoshan, I don't know why, Zhang Tianyuan always had a feeling that this guy should have the same six-character formula as himself, otherwise, how could he be so powerful.
In addition to sighing, he also knew that this was impossible, because in Yang Yaoshan's body, he couldn't feel the slightest sense of earthly energy, which showed that people were really capable of it, and they didn't want to be opportunistic.
When Zhang Tianyuan looked at Yang Yaoshan, Yang Yaoshan seemed to look at it with feeling, because Zhang Tianyuan was sitting in the first row, and the distance between the two was only four or five meters, so the sight was very open and they met together.
Perhaps feeling the envy and admiration in Zhang Tianyuan's eyes, Yang Yaoshan smiled slightly, and nodded, maybe Yang Yaoshan didn't know who he was at all, but this politeness is also rare, many rich people are a little blind after they have money, but Yang Yaoshan does not, this situation makes Zhang Tianyuan is goodwill sharply.
And Zhang Tianyuan came to Myanmar this time, and there is another thing to do is to get a few pits in Myanmar, even if he can't get it, he must contact a raw material supplier who can supply him for a long time, isn't this Yang Yaoshan the best choice?
So Zhang Tianyuan also smiled back politely, and nodded, until both sides retracted their eyes and began to pay attention to their own affairs, at this time the auction has begun for a long time, there are more than 100 pieces of wool or unsold, or auctioned away by others, but that has nothing to do with Zhang Tianyuan, what he cares about most is just the piece of wool numbered 144, whoever else wants to go, or even if it is unsold, it has nothing to do with him.
Because it was close to his piece of wool, Zhang Tianyuan didn't dare to distract him, he kept staring at the big screen, he noticed a phenomenon, when these wool were auctioned, if someone wanted to buy it, it would basically end in more than 20 seconds, and if no one took it, three or five seconds would pass, and this time passed quickly, unless someone kept raising the price and competed, it might consume more time, but it would not exceed one or two minutes at most, and most of them were more than ten seconds to twenty seconds.
There is another point, these materials in the clear mark area, the price is not expensive, generally speaking, most of them are not up to 10,000 euros, are thousands of hundreds of yuan, seeing such a bidding price, Zhang Tianyuan put his mind at ease, the piece of material he fancies, from the appearance of the analysis, is actually not good, otherwise it will not be put in the clear mark area, but the floor price is a little high, perhaps because the wool itself is relatively large.
But this high reserve price is not necessarily a bad thing, and many people may not bid because it is not cost-effective. Zhang Tianyuan can bid steadily, and he doesn't need to be too anxious.
He had a lot of money with him. And he knows the actual value of that piece of wool, so he can basically photograph that piece of wool 100%. This is not a secret mark, it has to be lucky, what he is thinking about now is to shoot it at the cheapest price possible, and the rest of the ideas are gone.
There are only three or five of these people sitting here who can compete with Zhang Tianyuan, and it is estimated that even fewer are willing to compete with Zhang Tianyuan, and they can compete with Zhang Tianyuan. It is estimated that there is no one, to be honest, if it weren't for the six-character truth, Zhang Tianyuan would have given up that piece of wool directly, then the table is really bad, and the probability of 10,000 yuan gambling is too high.
And even if someone really wants to bid, it is estimated that it will not exceed 30,000 or 40,000 euros.
The auction is all the same, full of saber-rattling atmosphere, and the difference from the general auction may be that there may be several people bidding in the general auction. No, it's all the sound of buttons pressed here, and the auction host's very quick introduction on it.
Because the organizer requires all phones to vibrate, you can't hear the phone ringing. However, the vibrations came and went, and some people simply went down under the bench to make a phone call, for fear of affecting others.
Zhang Tianyuan originally wanted to shut down the phone. But I received a strong suggestion from Weng Hong, you have to keep turning on the machine. Good contact if there is anything.
The words of the future mother-in-law, Zhang Tianyuan didn't dare not listen to it. So he can only turn it on, I thought my mother-in-law would just say that, who knows that I really have to call to confirm, no, just to confirm whether he has turned on or not.
Originally, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Tianyuan wanted to tell Weng Hong about the Big Mac wool, but he found that Wu Gang had been tilting his ears sideways, and when it came to his mouth, he stopped.
As time went by, there was less and less wool left, and the No. 133 wool had been photographed, during which Wu Gang and Mao Shifa both photographed the wool they wanted, which was considered to have completed the task, but they did not leave, because they also wanted to know which piece of wool Zhang Tianyuan had in love, which was almost halfway there, and they didn't make a move.
The advantage of the clear mark is that you can bid steadily, without like the dark mark you have to rack your brains to think about how high the price to get this thing, if you sell less, the thing is someone else's, you don't even have the opportunity to regret it, the clear mark is not afraid of this, if the price is low, add it, anyway, in the end, the highest price gets, as long as every bid is in accordance with the regulations.
Without the noisy shouting sound, this auction will be a little boring, making Zhang Tianyuan feel uncomfortable, and sitting there waiting for the wool he fancies, it is really a very annoying thing, he originally thought, since you can bid at the same time, each wool has a number, then simply put out all the two hundred wool, so that you don't have to wait, you just leave after the auction, where is like now, sitting here and watching others auction, not only makes people feel very nervous and depressed, but also quite boring.
The most annoying thing is that you don't dare to chat at this time, because it's almost time for your wool, if you miss it because of chatting, it will be a big loss, if it's okay to be unsuccessful, there is still a chance to make up for it, but if it is taken away cheaply by others, then you really can't cry if you want to cry.
Seeing that it was about to reach No. 144 wool, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly had another idea.
He noticed that Wu Gang, Mao Shifa, and many people behind him were staring at him, and a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart, daring to love these people just waiting to see what piece of material he patted, I believe that as long as he bids, those people will definitely flock to bid, and then the price of jadeite will be raised very high, which is definitely not something he Zhang Tianyuan wants to see.
Okay, it's No. 134 now, and I'm still ten dollars away from my No. 144 material, so I'll bid a few times during this period to see if you still know which piece I really want?
Zhang Tianyuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, although it was not so that "people will not be destroyed for themselves", but in order to prevent the price of the wool he likes from being coaxed up by others, he must think of a way.
"Well, what's the deal with the price?"
I think of it, I do it, No. 134 wool is a real brick material, Zhang Tianyuan has seen it, there is jadeite in it, but the jadeite that comes out can be made of forty or fifty jadeite products on the street at most, but he just wants to shoot it......!
