Jia Weiliang, the mayor of Senmu City, is in his forties, with a square face, a natural and calm smile on his face, a tall figure, a solemn dress, and a steady pace, which is very similar to the demeanor of today's officials.

As he arrived, the clicking flash lit up.

After Jia Weiliang and the accompanying officials sat down, they pressed down with their hands to stop the restless form of the scene.

He gave the host a look, and the announcer of the TV station immediately stepped forward with the microphone, greeted everyone, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, the results of the two-day competition have been selected, and now Mr. Lu Mutong, the president of the Huaxia Timber Association, announces the results." ”

The applause rang out like thunder, and the sound of clicking photos also spread throughout the exhibition hall and auditorium.

Lu Mutong stood up with the microphone, looked around, and waited for the auditorium to be quiet, and then said: "In the past two days of selection, I am very pleased to see a large number of exquisite wood art products on the market. It can be seen from this that our Chinese woodworking carving skills have not been lost. ”

"As a carpenter for many years, I am both happy and a little worried. I'm ashamed that our precious timber market is so deformed that it has completely exceeded the world's expectations. ”

When Lu Mutong said this, he let out a long sigh. Jia Weiliang turned his head to look at Lu Mutong, clasped his hands and pondered quietly.

When the guests and media reporters in the auditorium heard these words, they were stunned at first, and then there was earth-shattering applause. In their own way, everyone paid enough respect to this old-timer who dared to tell the truth.

After a while, the applause fell, and Lu Mutong continued: "Okay, among the batch of fine products that have emerged in Senmu City, we old guys have selected a few more eye-catching ones. Maybe our vision is a little off, but the general direction will not change. ”

"I'll talk about third place. The entry number is No. 123, which is a small leaf red sandalwood carved Qingming Riverside map. The characters are plump and realistic, the layout is atmospheric, and it is very appreciated and collectible, which can be said to be a few fine products. Which company provides it, please stand for a moment and let everyone know about it. ”

Hearing Lu Mu's report of the carvings, Huang Jun thought of Meng Caihe. This Qingming Shanghe map is Meng's wood language wood supermarket, which is used for competition.

In everyone's expectation, Meng Caihe stood up, first bowed to the rostrum, and then waved his hand at everyone present.

Meng Caihe looks very high-spirited in the face of various cameras, and he is very young and talented with a successful career.

Looking at Meng Caihe's demeanor at this time, Huang Jun had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Is it just a personal effort for a person to succeed, not really?

Lu Mutong didn't give Meng Caihe enough time to show, and announced again: "The second place is Wanli River and Mountain, with exquisite workmanship, very skillful mastery of fire, and everyone's demeanor." Number 334, stand up and let everyone know each other. ”

Scold! Sun Xinglong suddenly jumped up from Huang Jun's side. His action startled Huang Jun and the people around him.

Sun Xinglong grinned, twisted his body and waved his hand at the people present, and said: "I am from the Sun Group, my family's wood art products have been inherited for a hundred years, and if you like it, you have to buy it enthusiastically." I'm Sun Xinglong, call my name and give you a ninety-five discount. ”

After Sun Xinglong finished speaking, he bowed to Lu Mutong and hurriedly sat down.

Huang Jun saw that Sun Xinglong finished speaking so quickly, and looked at him in surprise and said, "Okay, aha, you actually represent the Sun Group, hold great power, and your ability is not ordinary." Xiaomeng, this is a rich man, you have to be careful, be careful of being deceived. ”

Tong Xiaomeng stared at Sun Xinglong vigilantly, picked up a banana and took a bite hard.

Huang Jun and Sun Xinglong trembled in fright.

Lu Mutong glanced at Sun Xinglong, and then said, "Now it's the first place." This work may not be very beautiful, but it is very eloquent, and it also represents the highest carving skills and ideological connotation in our China. ”

Lu Mutong said this, did not continue, and observed everyone's reaction.

When Huang Jun heard this, he immediately thought of Zhu Xingnan of the Natural Umbrella Wood Collection. His company shows the Dunhuang Hundred Buddha Map, just like the one introduced by Lu Mutong, with exquisite carving skills and rich ideological connotation.

Looking at Sun Xinglong, Huang Jun praised: "Your son-in-law of the Sun family is very strong, and he has actually been recognized by the grandmaster, Niu Cha." ”

Sun Xinglong shook his head with a strange expression and said, "Although I don't approve of Zhu Xingnan, I have to obey his ability, otherwise, he wouldn't let Sister Jiali give him a child at a young age." ”

As he spoke, Sun Xinglong looked at the front row.

Huang Jun followed his line of sight and happened to see Zhu Xingnan's back. At this time, Zhu Xingnan seemed very calm, sitting there peacefully, as if contemplative, like reverie, and the steady atmosphere could be seen.

The characters who can make Sun Jiaqian fall in love for many years are really unique. Huang Jun commented secretly.

After selling enough, Lu Mutong smiled at the people who were talking in a low voice, and said, "No. 768, stand up and let everyone know each other." ”

When everyone present heard this number, they immediately looked around. Huang Jun looked at Zhu Xingnan's back, frowned, looked at Sun Xinglong puzzled, and said, "What's the matter with Zhu Xingnan, why didn't he stand up?" ”

Sun Xinglong and Tong Xiaomeng glanced at each other, stared at Huang Jun and said, "You take out the number plate." ”

Huang Jun was stunned for a moment, reached out and took out the number plate from his pocket. Looking at the numbers above, Huang Jun was immediately dumbfounded. No. 768, the same as what Lu Mutong said.

"What, what's going on, is this?" Huang Jun was confused. The accident came too quickly, which caught Huang Jun off guard.

"Hurry up and get to know everyone." Sun Xinglong looked at Huang Jun stunned and hurriedly urged.

Huang Jun shook his head, suppressed the confusion and surprise in his heart, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and called: "Yihui, come down, something happens in the auditorium, hurry up." ”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Jun looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Mutong's body, his eyes full of doubt. How can this be rated as Huabiao?

"No. 768, don't you want everyone to get to know you?" Lu Mutong looked at the people in the auditorium with a smile and urged with a pleasant face.

"Talking about you." Sun Xinglong looked at Huang Jun puzzled.

Huang Jun shook his head and whispered, "This opportunity must be left to Wang Yihui." The company's affairs are all from him, and it is necessary for everyone to know him well. ”

"Brother Huang Jun is really indifferent to fame and fortune, I like it so much." Tong Xiaomeng's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she looked at Huang Jun with a smile and said.

"Don't like him, like me." Sun Xinglong stretched out his hand to cover Tong Xiaomeng's eyes, cut off her line of sight, and asked softly.

"What's going on?" Huang Jun was still a little confused.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Wang Yihui walked quickly to Huang Jun, looked around at the people in the auditorium and asked in a low voice.

Huang Jun hurriedly stuffed the number plate into his hand and said, "The first place belongs to us." ”

"Huh?" Wang Yihui glanced at Huang Jun in surprise, hurriedly suppressed the confusion in his heart, raised the number plate and said, "No. 768 is here, I'm sorry." ”

Click, click, everyone who had been waiting for a long time immediately pressed the shutter and photographed the brightest new star.

"Well, you're doing a good job." Lu Mutong praised.

Wang Yihui was very confused, Huang Jun was very puzzled, and everyone present was even more confused.

As if he had guessed everyone's thoughts, Lu Mutong coughed dryly twice and said, "Now I will tell me why No. 768 is respected by us, please look here." ”

As Lu Mutong spoke, he left the seat with the microphone, walked to the giant LCD screen, pointed to the Huabiao that suddenly appeared, and said, "Everyone knows this thing, right?" ”

"Huabiao?!"

Looking at the proudly standing symbolic object, everyone present immediately let out an exclamation.

Lu Mutong nodded and confirmed: "Yes, this is Huabiao, the symbol of our Huaxia." ”

Looking at the clear picture, everyone present immediately remembered the behemoth standing in the square of the exhibition hall. When they thought that it was actually an entry, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation again.

"Mr. Lu, we have noticed Huabiao, but we didn't care about it at the time, and thought it was just an ordinary decoration." The announcer said with the microphone.

Lu Mutong nodded and said, "Everyone can ignore it again after paying attention, this has already played its role." Huabiao is not for everyone to watch, but for everyone to speak freely. I'm glad it worked as it should. ”

"Mr. Lu?" Zhu Xingnan stood up and said in a loud voice: "This Huabiao looks to be of good workmanship, but as the best wood art, it is a little unworthy of its name." ”

"Haha" Lu Mu laughed heartily and said: "Okay, let me tell you why we chose it and why we think it is the highest carving skill and ideological connotation in China." ”

"The first point is that Huabiao was created by Emperor Yao, which not only guides the path, but also has the meaning of acupuncture and disadvantages, and humbly accepts advice, and the original form is wood. It can be said that this exhibit is the exhibit with the longest inheritance and the richest meaning. Do you have any comments? ”

Lu Mutong paused to observe everyone's reactions.

Seeing that no one expressed an opinion, Lu Mutong continued: "This exhibit is decorated with a dragon. The dragon form is lifelike, vivid and majestic, and in this exhibit, there is only one such a huge size, and it is not messy. As a descendant of the dragon, I believe everyone feels the same way. ”

Everyone present nodded in approval one after another.

"The third and most important reason is that this is a log. The decoration of the log is only one inch and three points deep into the surface of the wood, which can be said to be a superficial taste, trying to protect the integrity of the log. Do you know why I say that? Lu Mutong said this, and looked sideways at the people present.

"Mr. Lu, is the carver not at home?" Someone speculated.

Everyone looked at this man in unison and gave him a disdainful look.

"Could it be that there are other reasons for this, please Master Lu explain it to everyone." Someone said cautiously.

Lu Mutong nodded and said: "I will say the reason, but everyone didn't see the essence, which made me a little uncomfortable." To tell the truth, in this exhibit, I saw a lot of wood products, the carving techniques are very exquisite, hollow, relief, etc., beautiful. ”

"I just want to ask those carvers, what do you want to leave for future generations after you have completely processed good things?"

Speaking of this, Lu Mutong sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Nowadays, precious wood is comparable to gold, why is this happening? That's our ancestors, who took all the good things and used them. I'm not condemning anyone, I'm just worried. ”

"If in many years, our children and grandchildren want to learn woodwork and create, where can they find usable materials? Things that benefit the present generation and harm our children and grandchildren, can we not do it, let's try to stop it. We old guys are very pedantic, so we decided on this thing, and if we have ideas, we don't need to say anything, we don't listen. ”

Lu Mutong finished speaking, but the whole auditorium was as silent as death.

After a long silence, the warm applause rang out for a long time.

As the results of the tournament came out and the rewards were awarded, it came to an end for the time being.

Next, Jia Weiliang announced the opening of the expo.
