Chapter 82: Qigong Master
The Yunnan Provincial Traditional Culture Expo was hosted by the Yunnan Provincial Cultural Industry Office, the Department of Culture, the Radio and Television Bureau, the Press and Publication Bureau, the Kunming Municipal Government and the Yunnan Provincial Expo Tourism Holding Group. The exhibition hall is located in the Kunshi Chuncheng Road International Convention and Exhibition Center, with a total exhibition area of 50,000 square meters, divided into eight halls, and the scale has to be said to be very large.
And Xie Bin and Mu Feng are both playing jade carving, in the No. 1 exhibition hall, it is the largest and most popular, after all, in this place of Yun Province, the population base of playing jade is much more than that of places like Ludong Province.
Mu Feng took Xie Bin to handle the affairs of the venue, in the exhibition hall of the jade carving master's works, a standard booth is 3,500 yuan a period, and the price is fair, and if you want to rent your own vacant land. The price is slightly higher, the vacant land is 350 yuan per square meter, and the rent starts at 36 square meters, which is more than 10,000 yuan for the site alone.
Of course, Xie Bin didn't need to set up his own booth, after all, he brought so many works over, a standard booth was enough, and his main purpose was to advertise for himself, as for how much money he could sell, he really didn't think much about it.
And when going through the formalities, it is not too troublesome, you can prove your qualifications, mainly identity documents and certificates from the local jade carving association, as well as copies of your own jewelry stores, etc., if you have photos of the exhibited works, it would be better.
Of course, this is just a request on the surface, with the participation of Mu Feng, Xie Bin paid the money and received the certificate, Xie Bin's booth is booth No. 8, which is a fairly good booth, I don't know how many people are red-eyed.
After finishing these things, Mu Feng smiled and said: "Boss, you go back to the hotel first, I'll go back to meet my grandfather and them, and then go to the hotel to meet your old birthday star, they have been greedy for a long time." ”
Xie Bin hesitated a little and said, "This is not very good, why don't I follow you to the door to meet your old man?" "Although this is not a rule, but Xie Bin is a guest in Yun Province, how can there be a reason why a guest does not come to the door and wait for the host to come to visit? What's more, although Xie Bin has some status in the jade carving industry, after all, compared with his seniority, it always feels a little inappropriate to let an old man come over in person.
Mu Feng waved his hand and said: "It's not so exquisite, besides, your objects are too valuable, it's too troublesome to invite them, and my home is not in Kunshi, but in Ruili, my grandfather and they are also living in the hotel, and they are just guests." ”
Hearing Mu Feng say this, Xie Bin didn't insist anymore. When he returned to the hotel, looking at Uncle Li's cautious appearance, Xie Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't be so nervous, it makes people look like they are thieves." ”
Uncle Li got along well with Xie Bin, and said with a smile: "No way, I have a guarantee with the chairman, and my head can be broken and bleeding, and this old birthday star can't be damaged in the slightest." ”
Xie Bin waved his hand, "It's not that serious, I really think it's the previous society, and there are robbers?" Take it easy, don't be too nervous, wait for a few guests to come, you prepare, don't let people think that we are too stingy, it is said that there are a lot of high-end jadeite in the jade trading market every year, but I haven't seen a few people like us. ”
Uncle Li smiled, glanced at the four bodyguards, and then dispersed, no longer staring at a pile of objects like a prisoner, but his attention was still very concentrated, and he didn't even eat and drink the same batch, which made Xie Bin himself a little nervous.
Soon, Mu Feng brought a group of people to find Xie Bin. Except for Mu Feng himself and Xiao Wang, most of the rest are relatively old, the eldest old man has white hair, and he looks to be sixty or seventy years old, but he is playing with two jade eggs in one hand, and the other hand is behind him, his waist is straight, and he looks very energetic.
Xie Bin noticed this old man at a glance, in addition to the old man faintly surrounded by the stars in the middle, that kind of spirit is also the key to attracting Xie Bin's attention. This feeling is very strange, as if Xie Bin can feel the old man standing in front of him even if he closes his eyes.
I don't know if any friends have tried it, you use a thick black cloth to blindfold your eyes, and then take a flashlight to shine on your eyebrows, you can also feel the appearance of strong light. In fact, when you try to feel it with your eyes, you don't feel it at all, and it's certainly not a strong light that passes through your eyelids and stays on your vision.
Xie Bin had this feeling at this time, and when Xie Bin caught up, he seemed to be able to feel the ability in his body or the feeling that his qi was about to move, as if he was attracted to get out of his body.
Xie Bin hurriedly took a deep breath without a trace, and smiled at the old man in the lead: "Are you Mu Feng's grandfather?" I have admired the name for a long time, the seniors are really powerful, and the younger generations admire it. Xie Bin said and bowed slightly to the old man, and then looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man also smiled and glanced at Xie Bin, "Yes, yes, you didn't disappoint the old man, haha." ”
The words of the two people may sound just polite words to others, but Xie Bin and the old man both know the meaning of these words, and this compliment is completely genuine. Xie Bin heard Mu Feng say that his grandfather also practiced qigong, and Xie Bin didn't think much of it at the time, but at this time, when he saw it, he knew that this old man's attainments completely exceeded Xie Bin's imagination.
And the old man probably also has a special sense of Xie Bin, and knows that Xie Bin's cultivation is not ordinary, so he praises him. And at that time, Xie Bin said to Mu Feng that he could carve such a jadeite, which was completely a blessing to practice qigong to his home. These words naturally reached the ears of the old man, and the old man naturally knew how powerful Xie Bin was.
And in the eyes of others, it is completely an old and a young complimenting each other, and no one knows that the words of the two people have other meanings.
Xie Bin invited these people into the living room, Xie Bin lived in a large suite, the living room was really not small, and it was more than enough for less than ten people to sit down. Through Mu Feng's introduction, Xie Bin greeted these people one by one.
In addition to Mu Feng's grandfather Mu Zhennan and Mu Feng's father Mu Siyun, the rest are some jade carving masters and jade predators in Yun Province, all of whom are famous.
In the jade circle, it has long been rumored that Xie Bin got a rare piece of Fulu Suxi, and he has seen some pictures, but no one has seen the real thing. Therefore, as soon as I heard that Xie Bin was going to bring his Fulu Shouxi old birthday star to the exhibition, they all found the Mu family who had a good relationship with Xie Bin, who let the Mu family be the first to get the news that Xie Bin was coming to Yun Province.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Wang was very eye-catching, helped Xie Bin pour tea and water, and made a good daughter-in-law in front of the old man of the Mu family, but it was obvious that the two old men of the Mu family did not have a too obvious feeling, and they were completely like an ordinary staff member for Xiao Wang's existence.
Xie Bin also looked a little uncomfortable, saying that if Xiao Wang was really the daughter-in-law of the Mu family and came to be a guest, how could he personally serve tea and pour water like the family members of the host's family? It would have been fine if it had been tasted by Xie Bin, but this was a hotel, and Xiao Wang's style obviously did not have the desired effect.
You must know that in the current society, there are still some families who are very particular, and the Mu family should be like this, because in front of the old man of the Mu family, Mu Feng and Mu Feng's father Mu Siyun did not dare to talk much. Especially Mu Feng, except for introducing Xie Bin to everyone, he didn't speak again, just lowered his head and drank tea.
This sect is obviously not comparable to ordinary families, even Mu Feng's father Mu Siyun rarely speaks directly in front of Mu Zhennan, and most of the time when he speaks, he has to ask for the old man's opinion like a child.
Seeing this, Xie Bin also wanted to understand why Mu Feng was acting like a fool outside. If you grow up in such a family, you will either become a good child like Mu Siyun, or you will become a rebel like Mu Feng.
There's no way, living in such a family, the pressure is too great, and few people nowadays can really stand it. And a girl like Xiao Wang, if she doesn't go through a period of training, it is not a simple thing to integrate into such a family.
These people didn't come here to drink tea, and a master named Massoud said eagerly: "Xiao Xie, where is your Fulu Suxi, can you let us take a look?" ”
Xie Bin naturally knew the intentions of these people for a long time, and the objects were ready, nodded at Uncle Li, and then put the things on the coffee table aside.
Uncle Li went back to the bedroom and took out a few boxes, all of which were made of solid wood, completely tailor-made, and the appearance of the boxes had patterns carved by Xie Bin himself, with landscapes and figures, most of which fit the theme of the objects in the box.
In addition to the grooves in the box, a layer of sponge is processed, and then it is covered with bright yellow silk. Of course, these are simple crafts, and everyone's attention is not on them, but on the objects in the box.
When they saw the colorful and delicate old birthday star appear in front of them, several people seemed to have completely stopped breathing, their mouths opened wide, and they moved unconsciously without making any sound. Except for Xie Bin and Mu Feng.
The reason why Xie Bin and Mu Feng were so calm was naturally because they had seen it a long time ago, and the shock stage had passed. And Mu Feng's grandfather Mu Zhennan was the first among everyone to react, his face was a little strange, it seemed to have love, it seemed to have praise, but he also had some regretful looks.
Seeing the old man's expression, Xie Bin naturally understood why the old man felt regretful, to be honest, Xie Bin carved this work by himself It was indeed a bit of a waste. If you really can't wait, you can cooperate with a master carver, let others do the creativity, and then Xie Bin will do the knife.
It's just that Xie Bin is also uncontrollable and selfish in the face of such a rare treasure, and he is completely reluctant to share it with others. Of course, this is also normal, no matter who gets such a treasure, they will only think about carving it themselves, and will not share anything with others.
