Chapter 689: Joining
Yang Yun is a master jade carver named under the Yangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum, and has an independent studio. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It is said that at his point, it is easy to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions a year, and he is also very respected, and he is respectfully called "Master Yang" wherever he goes, but he still feels that something is missing.
What he lacks is the title of a true master.
There are two kinds of so-called jade carving masters, one is as an honorary title, just like the evaluation of professional titles, to meet certain conditions, submit the corresponding information, and then through the assessment of the Huaxia Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, you can obtain the title of jade carving master.
However, masters and masters are also different, some masters not only win awards in major domestic awards, but even can break out of their own names in the world, but some masters are just taking the "honorary title" of a master.
Yang Yun is a master with only one "honorary title". Although he can get this title, there are many jade carving practitioners who will be very satisfied, but he doesn't. He stubbornly believes that a "master" who has not won the Tiangong Award, the highest award for jade carving in the country, or even the lower-level Jade Hundred Flowers Award, Lu Zigang Cup, etc., and can only show off in some local awards, is a self-deceived pseudo-master, and is not worthy of the title of master.
However, in order to become a true master as he understood, many conditions are required. Needless to say, the person who can obtain the honorary title of master is not much more outstanding than others, but the level will definitely not be worse than others, but if you want to win the award, this alone is not enough.
If you want to win the award, you not only need the level of things that he can control, but also the best materials, strong support, and sometimes even luck and many other conditions, and these are not things that he can control at will.
He is 39 years old, and as a jade carver, he still has about 10 to 15 years of golden time for him to challenge for the title of true master in his mind.
This seems to be a long time, but only a real jade carving practitioner knows that it is almost impossible to achieve his goal in this time and follow the current steps step by step, and even if it is doubled, the situation may not be much better.
Without him, time can only hone one's skills, but it can't wait for the best materials and luck. Moreover, as time goes by, the best jade material will only become less and less, and the competition will only become more and more fierce, in other words, in fact, the opportunity will become smaller and smaller!
How could this not make him worry?
But now, an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, Hu Zhiyuan, a famous jade carving master who is famous all over the country and even internationally renowned, actually took the initiative to call him!
Moreover, the other party not only took the initiative to contact him, but also promised to give him some of the best materials he dreamed of, and his condition was only to serve his disciple's jewelry company for a certain number of years!
Although he was reluctant to be restrained any longer, he was thrilled to think about the meaning behind the call.
What was he lacking most in the past? It's the material, it's the connection! But now, as long as Hu Zhiyuan's conditions are agreed, there will be nothing missing!
No matter how ambitious it is, let alone having the best materials, even if there is none, as long as Hu Zhiyuan stands behind him, it is not like playing to win a few domestic awards?
Besides, who does he work for, doesn't he do it?
Thinking that he would be able to meet Hu Lao's disciple soon, he was a little apprehensive, he could come out to open a jewelry company by himself, and he could afford to hire a jade carver of his level, this person must be not young, right? It's just that I don't know which of Hu Lao's disciples it is, so it would be bad if I couldn't see his craftsmanship...... Is this person difficult to get along with? If you get along, I don't know if you can ask him to guide you...... I don't know what the best material he provided is, whether it's a piece of glass or a piece of mutton fat white jade, and I don't know what the shape is suitable for......
However, these thoughts were all shattered when he saw Li Yi, he was so small, how could he be so small?!
When did Hu Lao accept his disciples? Is he really a disciple of Hu Lao? He even had a little doubt that the Hu Zhiyuan who called him some time ago was someone else impersonating!
"Master Yang, that's all I can provide, if you have any other ideas, no problem, we can all talk about it."
"Huh? Oh...... You wait for me to think about it. ”
Yang Yun suddenly came to his senses, and he recalled, as if this young man named Li Yi had just said that he could provide him with at least 20 kilograms of glass seeds a year, as well as no less than 3 kilograms of mutton fat white jade? When did these superb materials come from the kilogram?
However, even if he is not resigned, it is impossible for him to listen to the ice species as the glass species, and the white jade as mutton fat and white jade? No, you have to ask!
"That...... Mr. Li, you just said that you can provide me with 20 kilograms of glass seed a year, and 3 kilograms of mutton fat white jade for me to process, I heard you right. ”
"Yes, you heard it right. In fact, this number is quite conservative, because I am not sure about the future sales of the company, and I am not sure that I need to hire a few masters like you, in fact, my company warehouse now has enough raw materials for you to use for more than 5 years. ”
Li Yi said as he took the tablet from Zheng Shusen's hand, on it, he specially solved a few pieces of glass for this recruitment, as well as a few pieces of mutton fat jade, in order to be able to intuitively see the size, he put a basketball next to it as a reference.
If there were no these photos, Yang Yun would definitely think that he was bragging, or he didn't recognize what glass species and mutton fat white jade were at all. But now that he had the evidence, although he still thought it was incredible, he could no longer doubt the sincerity of this young man.
"The company also supports me to participate in various jade carving competitions across the country with my own works? Can you also sign a work that belongs to a company? None of this is wrong, right? ”
"That's right."
"Okay, I agree to join the company and work in Yanjing. Mr. Li, when can we start? ”
Li Yi blinked, this guy asked about the materials, and then asked about the competition, but he didn't ask for personal treatment, doesn't that need to be confirmed again?
"Master Yang, that's the case, I'll tell you again about the conditions that our company can provide, and you can also think about what else you need the company to help you solve......"
"No need, as long as Mr. Li can guarantee the two you just said, the others are easy to say, let me pack up my things and go with you now!"
"Smack!"
Li Yi slapped his forehead, he understood that although he had planned to use these to impress these two masters before he came, he didn't expect that Yang Yun would attach so much importance to these that he didn't even want to talk about personal treatment.
But this is the best, this proves that this person is more pure, and pure people are easier to deal with, as long as it can meet his needs in a certain aspect, I hope the next one is like this!
"That's right, Master Yang, at present, the company is still preparing, so the workplace is not ready, and we are ready to officially open it after the year......
"That's the case, after the year, it will be more than two months, right?"
"Yes, but Master Yang, although the company has not yet opened, the goods definitely need to be prepared first. Why don't you look at this, I'll send you some materials first, you do it first, and then you can go over when we're all packed up? ”
Li Yi saw that he was a little disappointed, and his heart moved, so he thought of bringing things over for him to process first.
"Well, that's for the best! I'm going to finish this job right away, and then I'll push the rest, and when your materials arrive, we'll get started! ”
"Good! But Master Yang, you don't need to push off all the jobs you've already taken......"
"Mr. Li, call me Lao Yang. That's right, there are some jobs I don't want to take in the first place, and some jobs are really enough, anyway, I will take care of this part, you can rest assured. That one...... When will the materials be available? ”
Li Yi glanced at Zheng Shusen, and saw that he was also a black line, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"In this way, I'll call them now to send some glass plants over, and then what to do, how to do it, and then you can communicate with Mr. Zheng, what do you think?"
"No problem! Heck, when I think about working with you two in the future, I feel like I'm suddenly a few years younger! Thank you, thank you! ”
Li Yi let out a sigh of relief, it's easy to get one, at least the work can be carried out, I hope it will be so easy to talk later!
A few people said goodbye and left, Li Yi contacted another master and hurried over.
Unexpectedly, although another master was also eager for the best materials, he put forward a lot of requirements in terms of personal treatment, and he was unwilling to make those regular bracelets and pendants.
Originally, the issue of personal treatment was very easy to handle, and Li Yi didn't care too much about giving more or less, but Yang Yun, who had just negotiated, made this a problem. Although Li Yi also knows that foreign companies are talking separately in terms of personal treatment, there is no need for two people with the same ability to let the honest one suffer, right?
But this is also easy to solve, and the big deal is to improve Yang Yun's treatment at the same time. But I don't want to do conventional jewelry, this piece is a bit of a headache, he has some excellent materials in his hands, if they are made into ornaments, how many people will buy? And how many people can afford it?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yi decided to let this one go first, and after Zheng Shusen talked with him for two, he also felt that he could find someone else to try, there are many masters like them, and it is of course better to have Hu Zhiyuan to introduce him, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
Seeing that he was so confident, Li Yi was ready to hand over the rest to him, he first informed Hongchen to send two pieces of glass from Yanjing, and then stayed here to accompany Zheng Shusen, and then sent Tan Moxuan back to Yanjing, and asked him to prepare according to the establishment of a museum in China first, and then took Gu Feng and went back to Yangnan directly, over there, there was still the fifth uncle and Guangming to talk about.
