Chapter 14: Trouble
Xie Bin listened to Zou Xintong's words, and he was indeed a little satisfied, which at least showed that he Xie Bin still had the ability to make a career in the mall. Of course, Xie Bin told Li Jingjing the news early, and the two of them have to video chat every afternoon in the past few days, and almost everything between the two is clear to each other.
The two of them are now relying on these two computers to tell each other their hearts, saying that in the era when there was no Internet before, those who played long-distance relationships didn't know how to stand it. Xie Bin and Li Jingjing meet online every day, they miss it, if they can only write a few letters for half a year and ten months, it is estimated that they will have to go crazy.
However, looking at Li Jingjing's character style, Xie Bin really wants to go there to see, even if it is to see it, especially Li Jingjing said that many ancient sculptures over there are warm and romantic, changeable and delicate, similar to Xie Bin's carving, although it is slightly inferior in the expression and coverage of the connotation, but the exquisite carving method and perfect layout and the ability to portray the image are very strong.
When Xie Bin heard this, his heart itched terribly. His works, no matter what they carve, are as much as possible to portray enough images, detailed enough to feel satisfied, which is slightly different from the traditional domestic sculpture art, but has a common language with Western sculpture art to a certain extent.
Therefore, Li Jingjing's words made Xie Bin feel hot, and even thought about whether he should go to Cambridge to study and reunite with Li Jingjing. It's just that the thought of going over there to study, the shop here can't take care of it, and Xie Bin can only regretfully give up this idea.
And fortunately, Xie Bin didn't really leave the store to study abroad, because less than half a month after the new store opened, someone came to provoke him. That day, Xie Bin was learning composition from several masters in the workshop, and Zou Xintong called, "Xie Bin, someone is coming to make trouble, can you come here?" ”
"Troublemaker?" Xie Bin was surprised, "In the island city, anyone dares to come here to make trouble?" "This is indeed very strange, not to mention Li Guohui's face, even the relationship between Xie Bin and Chen Jianjun is there, and no one dares to make trouble, not to mention such a swagger in broad daylight.
Moreover, listening to Zou Xintong's tone, it seems that someone is not making trouble, but encountering something very interesting. However, since Zou Xintong has informed Xie Bin, it is estimated that he will really have to go out of the horse for this matter. Could it be that someone is picking on their work?
It's not impossible, people say that there is no first martial arts and no second, and there are indeed a lot of things that are taboo in the same industry. Besides, Xie Bin's store is so high-end, and the price is so ruthless, no matter whether it provokes the interests of some people, there will always be some people who want to come out and say something.
When Xie Bin drove to his shop, he saw a fiery red Ferrari parked outside the door, which was particularly eye-catching under the scorching sun, and he didn't know whose it was.
When I entered the store, there was nothing strange inside, a few waiters were busy with their own work, and two of them were even whispering together. And Zou Xintong was sitting in front of the coffee table, talking to two people.
These two people are making trouble? Xie Bin couldn't see his back just now, and he didn't know who it was, but after Xie Bin walked in, he saw the appearance of these two.
It's normal for a man and a woman, this woman looks very beautiful, but what is this wearing, it's too hot, a pair of small shorts like not wearing, the short can't be shorter, sitting there is like wearing a pair of underwear, and the upper body only has a small T-shirt wrapped around the chest, just covering two huge breasts, in addition to this, there is no strip of cloth on the whole body.
It's okay to dress like this, but at this time, the little bird is nestled in the arms of the man next to her, well, how do you look like a princess accompanying the wine. And the man, or boy, is more like a gentleman who came out to spend money to buy laughter.
This boy who looks like a gentleman is only twenty-three or fourteen years old, and he is estimated to be not much older than Li Jingjing, and he looks a little handsome, but this dress is more eye-catching than the escort girl on the side. A piece of Xie Bin's completely unnamed clothes was loosely draped on his body, but the lower body was a pair of leggings similar to women's, and two big pointed scalp shoes were dangling one after another.
And this trendy man was staring at Zou Xintong intently at this time, and said as if no one was around: "... Miss Zou's temperament, this figure, is absolutely first-class, my studio is lacking such a person as you, follow me, I will let you be the image spokesperson of our studio, well, there is also a public relations manager, if necessary, you can also work part-time as a mannequin. ”
I don't know how credible it is, but this language and actions are exaggerated enough, Xie Bin shook his head three times within five or six seconds of coming in, and I don't know how he threw up his long hair with gel, it's really embarrassing for him.
But is this a troublemaker? It's a weird mess. Xie Bin coughed and reminded him of his existence, but he didn't expect that he only glanced at Xie Bin and then continued to persuade Zou Xintong to change jobs as if nothing happened.
Xie Bin was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "What is this called, I heard that you are here to make trouble?" ”
The artist man glanced at Xie Bin disdainfully, stretched his long neck and threw it back, "Haven't you seen anyone making trouble?" Something to do with you? ”
Zou Xintong said with a smile: "This is our boss and the main creator of these works, that is, the person you are looking for." ”
The artist man blinked, pretending to exaggerate and asked the woman in his arms, "Bingbing, does he seem to be an artist?" ”
Well, this hot girl called Bingbing shook her head delicately, "It's not like hey, Brother Feng, you are a person who plays art." ”
The boy who was called Brother Feng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, shook his long black and straight hair, and squinted at Xie Bin and said, "Hear it, don't pretend, you won't be a person who plays art like this, hurry up and call that Xie Bin out." ”
Xie Bin's eyes widened, his waist stiffened suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be about to suddenly get up, a man and a woman involuntarily shrank back, who knew that Xie Bin just had a whole face, straightened his chest and said: "Contemptible Xie Bin, dare to ask the honorable surname?" ”
Brother Feng, who felt that he had lost face, snorted stupidly, "Mu Feng," he shook his head and said: "Mu is the Mu of Shuimu, the heir to the chairman of the Mu family jewelry store in Yun Province, and the main creator of the Mu Feng Art Salon," and asked suspiciously: "Are you really Xie Bin?" That one-to-three Xie Bin? ”
Xie Bin smiled, is this any trouble? It's just an ignorant child, but he still nodded and said, "Exactly, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
The artistic man Mu Feng coughed dryly and said: "I heard that Boss Xie's skills are amazing, so I came here to ask for advice, well, of course, I also sent a deal to Boss Xie, I don't know if Boss Xie dares to take it?" ”
Xie Bin couldn't help laughing, "Let's listen to it and see what kind of deal it is?" ”
"Okay," Mu Feng shook his head again, "I want to make a custom Wanfu jade bracelet, can you make it?" After speaking, he looked at Xie Bin triumphantly, as if waiting for him to refuse.
"Wanfu jade bracelet?" When Xie Bin heard this, he was really a little embarrassed, "What about the size?" ”
"The size is up to you, if you make it one meter in diameter, hahahaha" Mu Feng said and laughed, as if he felt that it was a very pleasant thing to be able to embarrass Xie Bin.
This matter is indeed enough to make Xie Bin embarrassed, Wanfu jade bracelet, that is, to carve ten thousand blessing characters on a string of bracelets, this is not a simple job, or a work that is almost impossible to complete. Because the diameter of the beads of the bracelet is generally no more than one centimeter, even if it is more than one centimeter, it is almost impossible to carve ten thousand blessing characters on a dozen beads.
If this is replaced with sandalwood beads, some miniature carving artists may barely be able to carve it, but this material is replaced by jadeite, not to mention 10,000 blessing words, even a thousand that is also embarrassing. However, Xie Bin calculated carefully, if he made sixteen beads, only 625 Fu characters would need to be engraved on each bead, and if the size was slightly relaxed, it would not be impossible.
Thinking of this, Xie Bin smiled and said: "I took this deal, but I have to remind you that if this bracelet is really carved, it is very easy to be damaged, especially those handwriting, so it can only be a plaything that can be viewed, and cannot be carried around, you understand?" Also, do you have any requirements for materials? ”
Mu Feng seemed to be a little stunned, he didn't expect Xie Bin to dare to say such a big thing, but then he smiled: "Don't worry about this Boss Xie, it's no problem if you dare to take it, as for the material, it is naturally necessary to use the material of imperial green, so I need to say more about this?" ”
Xie Bin nodded, "Okay, Young Master Mu is really a happy person," Xie Bin's title made Mu Feng a little fluttery, but then it was his turn to be embarrassed, because Xie Bin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's sign an agreement, well, this imperial green Wanfu jade bracelet is expected to cost 100 million, what does Young Master Mu think?" ”
"100 million?" Mu Feng's expression was a little solemn, but he still nodded, "It's fair." ”
Xie Bin smiled and added: "It's not RMB, it's USD, it's 100 million US dollars, have you figured it out?" ”
"What, you're robbing?" Mu Feng couldn't care about the artist's demeanor anymore, and jumped up suddenly, "100 million is very high, and it costs US dollars, Hong Kong dollars are about the same, I can buy I don't know how many imperial green bracelets I can buy for 100 million yuan." ”
Xie Bin smiled lightly, motioned for him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "If you have an ordinary bracelet, you can naturally buy a lot for 100 million, but can you sell Wanfu bracelets?" If Young Master Mu wants an ordinary bracelet, it doesn't take much, I'll give you one for 60 million, how about it? ”
