Chapter 278 is to find fault
Zhang Tianyuan deliberately found fault, that's right.
In fact, even if that set of empress jewelry sells for 20 million, it is normal, after all, it is the only set, and the workmanship is also excellent, but he just wants to find fault and make the reputation of Guan's jewelry more stinky.
"This gentleman, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense, since you have said this, then if we don't come up with a suitable reason today, we will not give up. The muscles on the assistant manager's face were already twitching, and he told a clerk to call the manager of this store, because the store manager is a connoisseur, who can read jewelry, and knows more about carving, and if this kid comes up with something unseemly but wants to boast that the workmanship is better than the queen's set, then there are people who confront him.
"Xiao Nie, look at your brother, you are angry with everyone like that, hurry up and apologize, otherwise you won't want to end up today." Ye Yulan was a little anxious, because she often came to Guan's Jewelry, so she had a good impression of this place.
Nie Zhen understood what Zhang Tianyuan meant, because he understood from the time he was in the private club that Zhang Tianyuan and Guan's Jewelry did not deal with each other, and he must have wanted to take this opportunity to attack Guan's Jewelry.
So he glanced at Ye Yulan and said lightly: "What do girls know, do they have to lose money for others if they are deceived?"
"Brother Nie said it well, can you please go to the car and pick up something like that?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"The one you are talking about?"
"Well, that's it, although it's not a jade carving, but it's also the best jade, and we're comparing it to workmanship, so let's let this store manager gain knowledge." Zhang Tianyuan nodded.
"What if it breaks, it's worth a lot of money. Nie Zhen said with some concern.
"Don't be afraid. I'm helping you make one if it's broken, anyway, there will be some time for Old Man Nie's birthday. Of course, Zhang Tianyuan is not afraid of being broken. He has a knack for complementing words, and he can fix it with a light yì.
"Good. I'll pick it up!" Nie Zhen nodded and walked towards the outside of the store.
Some people may want to ask, why didn't Zhang Tianyuan take it himself, of course he couldn't leave at this time, he had said so cruel things, he didn't give a reason, he wanted to leave, unless it was a fight with someone.
Not long after, Nie Zhen came back from outside. At this time, he was sweating profusely, holding a box in his hand, or the box he brought back from Hejiang, which could prevent the jade from shattering.
When he arrived at the table, he opened the box and placed the colorful jade dragon on the table along with the base.
Nie Qinglan and Ye Yulan This is the first time they have seen the gift that Nie Zhen prepared for Old Man Nie, so they don't know why, they don't know how to appreciate this kind of colorful jade dragon, they just think it's beautiful.
The assistant manager wanted to touch it with his hands. was stopped by Nie Zhen and said, "It's okay to touch it, but don't break it, be careful." ”
Nie Zhen didn't know how powerful Zhang Tianyuan was to supplement words. He only heard about the preciousness of this gift from Kurban, and Old Man Nie was also very satisfied after reading it, and he definitely didn't want to break it.
It's lively here. It also attracted a lot of clerks to come over and join in the fun, but only a few security guards were helpless. They had to stand there to prevent someone from stealing from the store.
These people had all heard Zhang Tianyuan's words just now, so they all wanted to see it. What kind of treasure did Zhang Tianyuan take out, he could blow so much and say such arrogant and rude words.
Although the clerks here are not bad, but after all, they are just clerks, they have seen a lot of real gems, but they really have very few, which is like the workers of the banknote printing factory, looking at so many banknotes every day, but not their own, that uncomfortable energy, is also strange and depressing.
But anyway, they are in this business after all, and they also have some ability to appreciate gemstones, but it's a pity that they only know a little about it. Belongs to the kind of person who doesn't make a sound, and half a bottle swayes.
A female clerk next to her circled around the colorful jade dragon several times, and finally suddenly smiled: "Nie Gongzi, what are you doing with a glass ornament, how can there be such a jade, this is too fake, and this carver, I remember that the store manager once said, it is a lost carving technique in ancient times, and those words, isn't that Yan Zhenqing's words? This imitation is too fake." ”
Nie Zhen didn't pay attention to her at all, it's normal that this little clerk can't understand it, he hasn't seen the world. He just looked at the assistant store manager, and if the deputy store manager couldn't read it, then the store would be finished.
Of course, the deputy store manager is more powerful than the female clerk, he stared at the colorful jade dragon for a long time, nodded silently, and said: "This should be the famous colorful jade, and it belongs to the high-quality jade, but this carving is just a carving...... Forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't tell which master's work it is, or even the work of which school of masters. ”
"Hey, Xiao Nie, is this really jade, not glass?" Ye Yulan asked.
Ye Yulan was also shocked, to be honest, she had seen a lot of jewelry at home and abroad, but she had never seen such a perfect gemstone, so the first thought was that this was fake, it was glass, and only glass would make it so perfect.
In fact, that's because he doesn't understand Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan has mastered the true recipe of six characters, at present, the complementary word recipe and the imitation character recipe are the most helpful in carving, of course, the imitation word recipe can allow him to use the ancient lost carving skills, and the biggest advantage of the complementary word recipe is that it can completely remove some small flaws on the surface of the jade, and even some small flaws inside, of course, the flaws of the stricter zhòng are not good, because Zhang Tianyuan's earth qi realm is not enough.
Fortunately, this piece of colorful jade itself does not have many flaws, and if he deals with it like that, it will be almost perfect.
"Yulan, do you really dare to say that this thing is my birthday gift to the old man, do you think I will give glass?" Nie Zhen said proudly: "I'm not afraid to sue you, this is my brother, that is, the jade that Tian Yuan accidentally found on Kunlun Mountain, and it's Tong Guò ......" Speaking of this, Nie Zhen was kicked by Zhang Tianyuan, and he suddenly realized that Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to reveal his identity as a sculptor, so he hurriedly changed his original words and continued, "It's Tong Guò this" The master of Tianyuan Jade Emperor carved it by hand and inscribed it. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yulan's eyes when she looked at Zhang Tianyuan became less hostile. was even a little surprised, but Nie Qinglan's eyes were almost full of admiration at this time.
The assistant manager of the jewelry store was already oozing cold sweat on his forehead at this time. He turned around and asked the clerk, "Hasn't the manager come yet?"
"I said that I was going to arrive soon, and I was already on my way. Up to three minutes. The clerk hurriedly replied.
"Tianyuan Jade Emperor, I've never heard of this master's name?" the deputy store manager waited nervously for the store manager, deliberately looking for a topic to kill time.
"You haven't heard of it now, but don't worry, there will be more and more of his works in the future, and you will soon know how good he is. "Zhang Tianyuan has already thought about it, in the future, the Jade Emperor of Tianyuan will be his second identity, a master carver who will always hide behind the scenes, in this way, even if there are any outstanding carving objects out of his hands. It won't arouse too much suspicion from others.
Perhaps with the seventy birthday of Old Man Nie, the Tianyuan Jade Emperor can be completely pushed into the carving world, and also let those so-called masters now see what the carving that condenses the essence of ancient carving is like, otherwise modern carving technology will really stagnate.
Two or three minutes later, an old man in his fifties walked into the store, holding a woman in his hand, no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old. is actually the heroine of a very hot TV series at present.
Zhang Tianyuan secretly scolded in his heart, "It's really a good cabbage to let the pigs arch", it's not that he looks down on this store manager, but this person is in his fifties, almost sixty. But with a woman in her twenties in his arms, no matter how you think about it, you can't balance your mind, but fortunately he now has a girlfriend who is more worthy of love. Otherwise, I'll be jealous.
After the store manager came in, he first nodded at Nie Zhen. Then his eyes were immediately attracted by the colorful jade dragon.
"This ...... Where did you get this?" he asked excitedly, shaking off the woman in his arms, and instead grabbed the assistant manager's arm.
The female star was obviously a little embarrassed. was actually thrown off like this, it was too shameless, but fortunately, at this time, there were celebrities and big reporters around her, and everyone's attention was on the colorful jade dragon, so she was spared from being ridiculed.
"No, store manager, this thing belongs to Nie Gongzi. The assistant store manager hurriedly explained.
Zhang Tianyuan nodded slightly, although this store manager said that the old cow eats tender grass, but there are indeed two brushes, no wonder he can be the store manager, just one glance, he knows that the colorful jade dragon is a good thing.
The store manager looked back at Nie Gongzi, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Nie Gongzi, are you planning to sell this item?"
In his opinion, the opportunity to make a fortune and make meritorious contributions has arrived, this colorful jade dragon, as long as it is won within 20 million, it is definitely earned, after buying, after the packaging of Guan's jewelry, it can definitely become a national treasure-level masterpiece, not to mention 20 million, even if it is 50 million, 100 million, they can easily sell it, but at that time, the brand value of this thing may be higher than its own value, with the vision of Guan Ying, the head of Guan's jewelry, most of them will stay.
"How is that possible, this thing is a gift I prepared for my old man, I will sell it to you, do you dare to ask for it?" Nie Zhen smiled sarcastically.
In the imperial capital, no, even in the entire mainland, no one really dares to snatch Old Man Nie's gifts, unless they really don't want to mess up.
The store manager smiled awkwardly, and asked helplessly, "Then what did Nie Gongzi take out this thing for?"
At this time, Zhang Tianyuan took over the conversation and said: "This matter, you'd better ask your deputy store manager, I just criticized your 'Empress' jewelry set a few words, each sentence is a heartfelt word, you don't listen to it, I have to say a reason, how does this thing compare with the workmanship of your 'Empress' suit?"
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he just wanted to speak, but Zhang Tianyuan had already seen his thoughts, and sneered: "If you want to say something that ignores your conscience, then let's continue this lawsuit, fortunately, I also know Professor Li Mingguang of the National University of Geosciences, he is an expert in this area, and I also know the Jade Emperor Kurban, Dong Xueshu and Li Shuheng of Shangpu, I also know each other, if you are not satisfied, let's call all the heads of the three clans on the treasure island, and have a good evaluation, whose things are better?"
Zhang Tianyuan's words, the store manager was in a cold sweat, he couldn't understand, how could this young boy know so many big people, these names, no matter which one they were, were all well-known in the antique jade world. (To be continued......)
