Wang Yan packed up his things to go to Sioux City, mainly his three works: living beings, Guan Sage, frogs, and then jade carving tools, and a few changes of clothes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info packed up and drove his own domestic off-road to Xiao Hong's place.
The reason why Wang Yan rushed to Xiao Hong's studio early was to see Master Xiao Hong's works in advance. It has to be said that Xiao Hong's works are flexible in conception, or classical, modern, or Western style, each piece is endearing, and the workmanship is impeccable. Therefore, Wang Yan also wants to get close to the water and get a sneak peek. It's not that Wang Yan doesn't like beautiful things, and he likes them very much, and he has a high vision, but don't mention money to him because of beauty, others like his good things, he is asking for a price from death, let him spend money because he likes beautiful things, in the next life!
Xiao Hong is also packing jade carving works, and the number of works is several times more than that of Wang Yan. It turned out that Xiao Hongnian didn't shoot once in August because there were no materials worthy of his shot, and now Wang Yan took him to play with high-end jadeite, and Xiao Hong was about to become an engraving machine. Xiao Yue's evaluation is incisive and vivid: "If I can connect my dad to electricity, my dad will have to turn smoking!" ”
Wang Yan ripped apart Xiao Hong's packed works with a big grin, and admired and played with them one by one: a real apple-sized apple can, carved from apple green glass, hollow and lid, lustrous color, smooth curve, full of modern atmosphere, people can't put it down, Wang Yan secretly said, the material dug out must have become Xiao Yue's buttons or other small pieces; A spinach green glass kind of thin-necked open jade bottle, deep and dignified, solemn, revealing a sacred aura, Wang Yan knows that this piece of material is a piece of material dug from a piece of bracelet core, the peripheral material made of 10 pairs of bracelets, each square bracelet is just a little spinach green glass species, are also sold for more than 100,000 yuan, only this bracelet core material is the same color flawless jade, was carved by Xiao Hong into an elegant jade carving heavy weapon; A snuff bottle engraved with a birthday star pattern in Zhengyang green glass; A violet spring with colored glass species of purple gas from the east, the main body is a large piece of violet carved mountains, which is a green jade texture is finely carved into the mountain forest, a long-haired old man riding a cow leisurely, the statue of people and cattle is not big, the details of the depiction can not be explained very clearly, but the leisurely dynamics are lifelike, which makes people yearn for it; ……
Finally, a piece of egg-sized dragon stone jade attracted Wang Yan's eyes: this dragon stone carving is not complicated, it is an irregular oblate, placed on a lotus leaf carved from two adult palm-sized melon skin green glass, like a big dewdrop, which makes people feel refreshed immediately, and a quiet and serene mood arises spontaneously...... Priceless treasure, Wang Yan sighed.
In Wang Yan's eyes, all good things can be converted into money, and the more beautiful things are, the more valuable they are, so Xiao Hong has always despised Wang Yan, if he didn't rely on Wang Yan's wool and couldn't beat Wang Yan, Xiao Hong would have already found a relationship to let Wang Yan go to the bank to guard the vault, which is very suitable for Wang Yan's miser's character!
Xiao Hong looked at Wang Yan's golden eyes and despised him, but Wang Yan didn't realize it, so he had to cough: "Have you seen enough?" ”
Only then did Wang Yan notice Xiao Hong's eyes, and immediately knew Xiao Hong's thoughts, so he deliberately disgusted Xiao Hong: "These things can't be piled up in a room when they are exchanged for banknotes?" ”
Xiao Hongyi frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Wang Yan: "I know you say I'm cheesy again!" ”
"It's good to know!" Xiao Hong did not hide his thoughts.
"You're not good, you're high, don't sell these things if you have the ability!" Wang Yan shouted at Xiao Hong with a hippie smile.
"You..." Xiao Hong was choked and speechless. Xiao Hong has poured his heart and soul into each work, and he can't put down every piece, but in the end, he hasn't sold things every time?
Wang Yan hurriedly enlightened Xiao Hong: "I'm different from you, I carve things for fun, I enjoy the mood when carving, and sell it at a high price after the freshness, and get a good mood to make money again!" ”
"Cut, money skewers!" Xiao Hong was dismissive.
"What's for lunch?" Wang Yan changed the subject.
"Are you just eating money, can you think of something noble?" Xiao Hong chattered and counted Wang Yan.
"Why are you like my mother, talking about such lofty topics as life, career, and ideals every day? Yes! Let's talk about the noble topic - hats, Xiao Yue, Uncle Wang will take you to buy hats in the afternoon, it's getting hot, don't get a tan! Wang Yan continued to disgust Xiao Hong with nonsense.
"Let's go buy hats!" Xiao Yue answered with a smile, "I'm mainly afraid that if you stay a little longer, my dad will be mad at you!" ”
……
Chengyu Jewelry has been deeply aware of the importance of Xiao Hong, one is that Xiao Hong has a large number of high-end materials, and the other is that Xiao Hong's jade carving level and popularity are very high, so Xiao Hong is a song to welcome, lest the hospitality is not good. Therefore, Wang Yan followed Xiao Hong to enjoy a special reception as soon as he got off the plane, and he drove the three-door Cadillac directly to the tarmac to pick up people, and he was followed by an armed escort car to pick up the jade carving works brought by Xiao Hong directly from the luggage compartment.
After some accommodation arrangements, banquets and other reception procedures, Xiao Hong and others began to understand the details of the auction.
The full name of this auction is "Chengyu Jewelry Glass Jadeite Auction", without the slightest trick with words, without any tricks, but just because the three words "glass species" are absolutely domineering! Because the glass species in the jadeite market are basically scaly phoenix horns, they are in a state of price and no market. Moreover, the number of auctions announced this time has reached hundreds, which has caused a great sensation in the jewelry industry!
A large group of jade fans are crazy, Wuyang Wuyang asked to sign up, there are so many rich local tyrants in China.
Therefore, the threshold for this auction is extremely high, and the margin reaches 10 million, that is to say, if you want to participate in the auction, you must first take out a deposit of 10 million! Even so, there are nearly 1,000 people to sign up, the registration fee alone has exceeded 10 billion, but the city bank of Chengyu jewelry headquarters is happy, all banks are on the spot to send a service team, convenient for the local tyrants to transfer money and the corresponding services needed, the municipal government also came forward to participate, in the official name to hire well-known experts for identification, supervision, the notary office sent the strongest team, all aspects are running at high speed, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the auction, while ensuring that no negative events occur.
All kinds of lots should enter the venue one week in advance, and in addition to being identified and reviewed by well-known experts, it is also necessary to let the participants contact and understand in advance.
After the auction, there will be a jadeite exhibition, displaying a large number of fine jadeite products, and a number of high-quality materials to meet with customers and book the carvings that customers need.
This time, Xiao Hong personally took out 11 works, Wang Yan also took out 3 pieces, and the other lots were completed by Chengyu Jewelry and other jade carvers in Xiao Hong's jade carving studio.
Since there are still 7 days to show the works, there is nothing Wang Yan has to do in the past few days, so Wang Yan worked hard in the hotel, prepared a gift for Fang Ruili, and hurried to make a colorless glass unicorn lock, congratulating her on finally becoming a mother. For this No. 1 general, Wang Yan still attaches great importance to it!
The workmanship requirements of the unicorn lock are very fine, not only to carve the characteristics of the unicorn set dragon head, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horse hooves, and pig tails, but also to have a boy on the unicorn's back, and there are fine objects and accessories such as moire and bells at the feet of the unicorn, so Wang Yan carved a silhouette and couldn't do it anymore, so he had to drag Xiao Hong over.
"Damn, now on the sedan chair and now piercing your ears and eyes, you do such a fine job?" Xiao Hong was helpless, this kind of thing takes a lot of effort.
"Doesn't this have to ask the master to help!" Wang Yan had a very good attitude at this time.
"Do you think of Master Ben at this time?" Xiao Hong finally has a chance to raise his eyebrows.
"If I wasn't afraid of blinding the material, I would have made it myself!" Wang Yan knew where Xiao Hong's weakness was, and there was no reason not to grasp it.
Sure enough, Xiao Hong was reluctant to waste such a large piece of colorless glass, so he had to take over and take a look at the blank made by Wang Yan: "Damn, you want to carve out the hanging chain and bell chain?" ”
"Well, why don't I invite you to do it! Don't tell me you're not good at your craft! "Wang Yan used the general to provoke Xiao Hong's army.
"Less, I can carve the chain, but with such a thin chain, can you guarantee that you are not afraid of bumps?" Xiao Hong is worthy of being a master of jade carving, and he is very thoughtful.
