Chapter 65 Taishi and Young Master Ornaments
Ding Huaiyue listened to Xie Bin's words, and put away Xie Bin's membership card with a smile, "Brother Xie, I'm welcome," said and asked curiously: "Brother, do you have any good things here, I didn't bother to take a look last time." ”
Xie Bin smiled secretly, it's not that you didn't care about it last time, but you disdainfully looked at it. From Ding Huaiyue's words, Xie Bin also roughly figured out Ding Huaiyue's approach, he didn't know much about a tasting, but adopted a multi-faceted netting strategy, where it can be done, go there.
Xie Bin is definitely not the only one who has received the order, there must also be other jewelry stores or jade carving masters, and Ding Huaiyue must have other spare ones in addition to this set of drawings, otherwise wouldn't it be a mistake if these people can't do it?
In fact, as Xie Bin guessed, Ding Huaiyue did make two preparations, and a tasting was only one of the commissions he received. If no one dared to accept this drawing, Ding Huaiyue would be ready to change it to a spare one. But he didn't expect that he didn't have much hope that a tasting would take it. However, Ding Huaiyue still didn't believe that a tasting could be done, because Xie Bin's reputation in the country was really not very good.
But seeing a set of jewelry in the box at this time, Ding Huaiyue couldn't wait to see if Xie Bin had any good things here.
Of course, there are good things, but the price is really not cheap. You get what you pay for, and the price of these things carved by Xie Bin himself is much higher than elsewhere. I don't know if Ding Huaiyue can really understand, and she clapped her hands vigorously.
In fact, this is normal, when Xie Bin is doing carving, no matter how the shape of each object is, how creative it is, it is very specific in terms of image, and it looks really more realistic than the traditional jade ornaments. And Xie Bin spared no expense of good materials, and the place that should be dug was not ambiguous at all, and the objects that came out of this way were naturally more attractive, especially for people who didn't know how to do it.
Just like a person who can't draw, when looking at a painting, what he likes to see most is the image painting, because it looks like a real thing. How many people will like a black and white ink painting or an abstract painting that you can't understand and abstract painting?
But to be honest, few of the people who are willing to spend so much money on these objects are knowledgeable, and most of them are just hobbyists. Just like Xie Bin now, he will not spend a lot of money to buy an object carved by others, no matter how good that object is.
One is that I know how to do it, I know the true value of it, and I know how it is made, and the second is that I am confident in my own skills, and I am confident that I can do it in the future.
If it is really a connoisseur and a connoisseur, the price will be much lower, because everyone knows the bottom line, and it is clear where there is moisture and where there are defects.
This is carving, if it is between calligraphers and painters, their transaction is more of a barter, more like giving each other, learning from each other, I write a pair of words to you, you draw a picture for me, and then the two of them discuss with each other about the skills and know-how, this is considered to be done, because the cost of calligraphy and painting is too low. Of course, those who are dedicated to selling calligraphy and paintings are not among them.
And Ding Huaiyue is here in Xie Bin, and he is not even a senior enthusiast. Xie Bin casually said a few words, and found out Ding Huaiyue's old bottom. It turned out that he just wanted to chase a woman, and that woman liked jadeite very much, so Ding Huaiyue also looked up some information on the Internet, and then found a jewelry designer to draw these two sets of drawings.
The set that Xie Bin got was not originally like this, but was forcibly modified by Ding Huaiyue like this. According to Ding Huaiyue's idea, as long as I pay the money, are I afraid that I won't be able to find a master?
Of course, Xie Bin, a master, was met by Ding Huaiyue, if there was no Xie Bin, Ding Huaiyue would be rich, and it is estimated that he would not be able to get such a set of jade jewelry. However, thanks to Ding Huaiyue's unbelief in evil, otherwise, ordinary people would probably follow the advice of others and choose the traditional model.
At this time, after Ding Huaiyue saw Xie Bin's inventory here, she was so happy that she didn't know where to put it. Touch this, look at that, and I wish I could buy them all.
However, although Ding Huaiyue is rich, she doesn't have that much appetite. Xie Bin's fine items here add up to hundreds of millions, Ding Huaiyue is not unable to take out so much money, but after taking out so much cash, his group is estimated to need to go to the bank for a loan.
After a while, Ding Huaiyue asked Xie Bin, "Brother Xie, what do you think is the best thing to give if I give a gift to someone?" He explained: "That is not an ordinary person, well, a big man who will be able to enter the central government in more than a year, hehe." ”
Xie Bin also admired it in his heart when he heard it, this Ding Huaiyue has been able to come so far, and he really has a hand to be able to have a relationship with such a big person. But would those people dare to accept such a big gift?
Ding Huaiyue listened to Xie Bin's question, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know, as long as the background is hard enough, don't talk about this little gift, it doesn't matter if it's more, hehe, that ministry member has been reported by his mistress for so long, what's going on?" The back of the house is very hard, if it weren't for the attention of netizens, it is estimated that it would have been gone long ago. ”
Xie Bin sighed secretly, nodded and said that he understood, but he didn't want to ask about these things anymore. Xie Bin pointed to a piece of Taishi and Young Master with spring color and said: "If Boss Ding really wants to take care of his younger brother's business, then choose this one, although this theme is old, but it is very suitable for the occasion, and the material and carving skills of this object are absolutely not said." ”
The pattern of the young master is a big and a small two lions, "lion" through the "division", the young master of the Taishi in ancient times was a high-ranking official of the extremely human minister, and it was very suitable for the official.
This piece of Taishi and Young Master ornaments is the foundation of the ice species, with two colors in spring, and the distribution of the two colors is relatively even, and the color looks absolutely nothing.
When Xie Bin was carving, he deliberately enlarged the size of the big lion, lying on the ground and gently lifting the lion's head, the half-squinted lion eyes and slightly raised mane, as well as the majestic muscles and half-exposed fangs, so that the lion has a momentum of not being angry and self-imposing, which makes people feel solemn at a glance.
The little lion was slightly mischievous and lying on the back of the big lion, jumping upwards with a happy expression.
These two lions, in addition to the meaning of taking the official to worship the Taishi and the young master, also have the meaning of carrying the young master (from generation to generation), which is given to the official, which will obviously be more pleasing to people.
After listening to Xie Bin explain the meaning of this ornament to him, Ding Huaiyue nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's it, brother, how much is this piece?" ”
Xie Bin turned on the computer and looked at it, and the price on it was 8.88 million. Xie Bin pushed the computer over and let Ding Huaiyue look at it.
Ding Huaiyue looked at it and smiled: "Brother Xie, your money-making speed is really much faster than mine, isn't this cheaper?" This lion is so small. ”
Xie Bin smiled, "Boss Ding, let's put it this way, I don't have a bargain for the items here, and the concession of the nine-percent discount on the membership card is not small," he said and pointed to the Taishi Young Master ornament in his hand: "Don't look at this object, it's not big, but the material is quite rare." Boss Ding also knows that this jadeite is green, and most of the materials of other colors are relatively rough and unusable, but this spring color is an ice species, which is quite rare, which is also a small point, if it is a little bigger, not to mention eight million, even eighteen million, I have to think about it. ”
It's not that Xie Bin is talking nonsense, the bigger the top-grade jadeite, the more valuable it is, and even flips up exponentially. The larger the ornaments, the rarer the ornaments, after all, most of the merchants in order to maximize profits, often cut the large jadeite into jewelry.
But in this way, the price of the ornament is raised, but the value of the ornament is not stable, you may be able to sell it for a big price if you like it, but if you can't buy it, you will lose a lot, and when you do the ornament, it will increase the loss of materials, which is a qualified businessman can not bear.
And although Xie Bin also wants to make money, he will not wronged himself in order to make money. Moreover, the carving techniques of his ornaments are unique, and he does not worry about not being able to sell them at all, so other people's business rules are not very applicable to Xie Bin.
Ding Huaiyue heard Xie Bin say this, and shook her head with a wry smile, "It seems that Brother Xie really refuses to give in, haha, he really has confidence." ”
Xie Bin thought that this was nonsense, he had a unique carving skill, and he had so many good materials in hand, what was there to worry about? Love to buy or not, the further back you go, the higher the price will be.
But I can't say the same to Ding Huaiyue, although the two have just made a very big deal, but the relationship is just like that, and the polite place has to be polite. "Boss Ding, it's not that I don't give face, it's really the market, no matter where such materials are placed, it won't be lower than this price," he said and said in a deep voice: "That's it, I'll give Boss Ding a small object, so I can match it with that Taishi and Young Master ornaments, how about it?" ”
Ding Huaiyue asked curiously, "Send something?" It won't be a bag, dude? Ha ha. ”
Xie Bin smiled slightly, went to the storage room next door and took out a piece of bloodstone, and when he came back, he smiled at Ding Huaiyue: "How about this thing?" ”
Ding Huaiyue saw that this bloodstone was a little unclear, so "What is this?" It's nice to look at. ”
Xie Bin shook his head secretly, this guy really didn't know anything about these things, and his understanding of jade was probably just a little bit of jadeite knowledge. However, Xie Bin still explained with a smile: "This is bloodstone, Boss Ding hasn't played with it, right?" This thing is the best to make a seal, although this piece in my hand is not a fine product, but it can also be worth three or five hundred thousand, you must know that bloodstone is similar to jadeite, and it is also a non-renewable resource, and now the more you dig it down, the more valuable it will be in the future. ”
said and smiled: "I'll carve it for you myself, how about it?" I learned my seal carving skills from Mr. Li Xueqing, an expert in paleographies and a famous seal carving artist. ”
