Xie Bin's old birthday star naturally can't reach the ultimate combination of movement and stillness, but he is also very experienced in local processing, and considering the cultural differences between the East and the West, Xie Bin's dynamic and static shape is more suitable for the aesthetics of the Chinese people.

Looking at everyone's praise, Xie Bin also had a smile on his face, but he inevitably felt some regrets in his heart, this work is good in other aspects, but it does not have its own style, which is also a helpless thing, Xie Bin did not form his own style even when he was doing wood carving.

For example, some people's works are very unrestrained, some people's works are particularly delicate, and some people's euphemism is a hint of masculinity, which are the concentrated embodiment of personal emotions and feelings.

However, Xie Bin is far from reaching the master level in this regard, which not only requires technical clearance, but also requires the accumulation of time and experience, in this regard, Xie Bin is still a beginner.

However, to put it bluntly, people who dare to spend a lot of money to buy such an object, almost no one can see this, and their understanding of carving is limited to materials, processes, shapes, layouts, etc., which can be regarded as very knowledgeable. Some people don't even understand these basic things, and they dare to spend so much money because they like it, or because they listen to what others say.

This has to be said to be a strong irony for those jade carving masters, just like the highest-grossing movies are difficult to get high artistic evaluations, and many times the audience is king. Just like Xie Bin, the old birthday star, he himself knows the defects, but he doesn't have to wait for the results to come out to know that those buyers will not see the defects of this old birthday ornament, but the advantages of it.

A large group of people are here, Xie Bin can't be entertained, and after the excitement, Hula all ran to the Ted Hotel. Now the Ted Hotel has become Xie Bin's resident hotel, and Xie Bin generally chooses here to entertain any guests.

One is that he and Fang Weizhong are also friends, and they just take care of each other's business; Another is that the conditions of Ted Hotel are really good in all aspects, especially the quality of the food, and it is not too far from where Xie Bin lives, so Xie Bin generally treats here.

This time is no exception, in addition to Zou Xintong, Liu Mingna naturally followed Chen Jianjun, Xue Yuying and Liu Tao also came together, even Yu Fei and Jiang Guanghao did not fall behind, in addition to Mu Feng and Xiao Wang.

It's a good thing it's Sunday, otherwise these people wouldn't have gathered here all at once. However, except for Xie Bin and Zou Xintong, the remaining three couples are all couples.

It is not suitable to say that it is a complete couple, Chen Jianjun and Liu Mingna have already decided, they are engaged on New Year's Day and get married after the New Year, which is a sure thing; Mu Feng and Xiao Wang, these two people are now a standard couple, although Xie Bin is not optimistic about the future of the two, but it is undeniable that the current Xiao Wang looks really happy.

And Xie Bin's sister Yu Fei and Jiang Guanghao are still chasing one after the other, Yu Fei looks much better these days, and she has a smile on her face, she should have untied the knot, of course, most of the credit is due to Jiang Guanghao.

Now Jiang Guanghao still has to go to the island city every week, completely looking like an infatuated man, this is not relaxed at all, even Xie Bin is surprised, you must know that this is not a month or two, but lasts for almost a year. This is not something that anyone can do, let alone that Jiang Guanghao is still a standard Yanei.

And Xue Yuying and Liu Tao, although the two seem to be together every day, Xie Bin can feel that Xue Yuying does not fully accept Liu Tao, and always refuses Liu Tao's intimate contact intentionally or unintentionally in her speech and demeanor. Moreover, Xie Bin is very skeptical, will Xue Yuying's director father approve of Liu Tao as a little policeman?

Liu Tao's skills are good, but in the public security system, he is just a technician, and he is not the kind of technician who is not very easy to get ahead, I don't know what Director Xue will think.

Although Xie Bin and Xue Yuying don't seem to have happened at all, when they see her, Xie Bin still has some strange feelings in his heart, but he has been hiding it well, and he has always been getting along as good friends, and it doesn't seem to be embarrassing.

It's just that what the two people feel in their hearts, only they know.

After eating, everyone dispersed, after all, they all have their own work and life, even Chen Jianjun has now made a small company, and he has started his own small boss in a decent way, but Xie Bin and Mu Feng are standard idlers.

However, this time Mu Feng came to invite Xie Bin to participate in the Yunnan Provincial Traditional Culture Expo.

Xie Bin smiled when he heard this, "What are you doing with the expo in Yun Province, pulling me, a person from Ludong Province?" ”

Mu Feng pouted and said: "Boss, you don't know, not only in Ludong Province, but also in other places, but the organizer is from Yun Province, do you have to check where the household registration is to hold an expo?" Said and smiled: "Besides, with your current momentum, boss, it's too late for those people to welcome you, how can they refuse you?" ”

Xie Bin glared and asked, "It's not that exaggerated, it's also a provincial-level large-scale event, will it be as casual as you say?" ”

Mu Feng waved his hand, "Boss, you think too much, in fact, that's it, the province will issue a document, and after the explanation, the various associations and chambers of commerce will be responsible for running it, finding good sponsors, and then it is to convene representative figures from all walks of life to make a appearance, to say that it is to enrich the cultural life of the masses, and to put it bluntly, it is to whitewash the peace." ”

Mu Feng looked like he had seen through the world, "But those things have nothing to do with us, boss, put those things aside, don't you think this is a good opportunity to do publicity?" And there are some rich people there, not only do they not have to spend advertising money, but they can also make a fortune by the way. ”

Hearing Mu Feng say this, Xie Bin knew a little in his heart, the provincial expo and the municipal one are indeed different in scale, but they are almost the same in nature. Xie Bin participated in the exposition in the island city last summer, but at that time Xie Bin was still a vendor who set up a stall on the antique street, but it was that exposition that changed Xie Bin's life, which can be regarded as an opportunity.

When the island city held the expo this year, Xie Bin was also invited, but Xie Bin was busy at that time, so he didn't participate. Speaking of which, an expo of this level in the island city is really not of great benefit to Xie Bin's current tasting, so even Zou Xintong did not arrange anyone to participate.

In the past year or so, it seems to be short, but the changes that have happened to Xie Bin are amazing. Others may only listen to it as a self-made story, but the impact on Xie Bin is really not small.

It doesn't matter when he's busy, but after he's free, Xie Bin even has a feeling like a dream. And Li Xiaojun, who I met at last year's expo, fell quickly at a meteor-like speed after experiencing a period of scenery.

When eating at the hotel just now, Chen Jianjun also talked about Li Xiaojun, saying that their family also has some money, after all, the family is so big, enough for them to live. It's just that Li Xiaojun is unwilling to fail and is determined to make a comeback, while Li Xiaojun's father just wants to live his old age in peace.

For this reason, the father and son almost turned against each other, and in the end, Li Xiaojun took about 10 million in cash, saying that he went to Guangdong Province to learn experience.

At the wine table, Chen Jianjun sighed and said: "His temperament really doesn't know how it became like that, to this point, he hasn't forgotten to compete with Xie Bin, do you know what he told me before going to Guangdong Province?" "He said that Xie Bin you can have today, but you just learned a few days of jade knowledge, and then hit the big luck to get a few pieces of good material, he Li Xiaojun has played jade for several years, I don't believe it can be compared to Xie Bin, you are a novice who has just started."

Xie Bin sneered secretly when he heard this, Li Xiaojun This is completely the rhythm of death, do you really think that the jade industry is so fun? With his ability Li Xiaojun, if he has another ten or eight years, he may be similar to some experienced masters.

But those old masters dare to play with stones on their own? Isn't it about finding an owner to make some hard-earned money? Besides, Li Xiaojun doesn't say that there are 10 million, even if there is 100 million, it may not be able to make a little wave in the jade industry. And with Li Xiaojun's current mentality, can he not suffer a loss if he goes in? Not to mention catching up with Xie Bin, if he can keep the 10 million in his hand, then even if he Li Xiaojun has the ability.

What are gamblers afraid of? What I'm afraid of is the psychology of being in a hurry to turn the tables, driven by this psychology, when throwing money is extraordinarily refreshing, I don't even feel how much I throw it out, until I lose even my pants, then I wake up, it turns out that I have lost everything.

There are a lot of such things in the jade industry, and there are many bankrupt people who lose their fortunes for gambling on stones, and there is no shortage of Li Xiaojun.

Xie Bin listened to Chen Jianjun's words, that is, just listened, what could he do? What should he do? Do you want him Xie Bin to persuade Li Xiaojun to turn back? Not to mention that Xie Bin and Li Xiaojun are still enemies, even if the two are still friends, persuasion at this time will not have any effect, but will make him feel that Xie Bin is harming him.

Not everyone knows who is good to him and who has plans against him, Li Xiaojun is a typical example, when he Li Xiaojun took such a big advantage on Xie Bin, Xie Bin didn't say anything. If you want to say that ordinary people should be content, but Li Xiaojun didn't think much about it, but felt that Xie Bin didn't let him continue to take advantage of him, just because he was not righteous and not enough friends.

Mu Feng naturally didn't know the story between Xie Bin and Li Xiaojun, but he heard about another matter, and saw that Xie Bin was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "Boss, are you worried about the vice governor surnamed Sun?" ”

Xie Bin was taken aback, "Do you know this?" ”
