0217, the richest man and the duke
If it is said that in traditional Chinese clothing, painting and cutting is a sloppy thing, then buckles and embroidery occupy nearly eighty percent of the working hours. Fortunately, the embroidery part of the fabric itself has been completed, otherwise Ning Qinghua would never have been able to claim that it could be completed in half a day.
This suit requires a total of eleven Chinese-style buckles, and each button, even the most experienced master, takes about two hours, and the cumbersomeness in the meantime is difficult for outsiders to understand.
This Chinese-style buckle is actually somewhat similar to the Chinese knot often seen by ordinary Chinese, but the requirements are higher, especially the requirements for tightness. After all, this is not only the role of decoration, but also needs to withstand a certain pulling force, if you are not careful, this button is scattered, then it is really a smashing sign.
This buckle is also a traditional craft, in this shop, except for the master who is the boss, the other two masters will not buckle. Ning Qinghua looked at this set of clothes, which was quite simple in terms of the buckle pattern, and each button could be completed in about half an hour. Many women's cheongsams are extremely complicated, and there is even a saying of "one buckle a day".
The materials cut by Ning Qinghua were handed over to another master to complete the splicing and sewing of the clothes, but this buckle needed to be completed by the boss himself. Eleven buttons, even if it is simple, the fastest speed takes about four or five hours, and if you want to complete it before the evening banquet, in the eyes of the boss, there is no possibility at all.
The craftsmanship of this buckle was originally the boss's unique skill, and it was originally impossible to pass it on to outsiders. Moreover. Even the simplest buckle is impossible for ordinary people to learn after looking at it.
It's a pity that I ran into the monster Ning Qinghua today. After the boss completed the first button by himself, Ning Qinghua drew the gourd in the same way, and was stunned to start it in person. It didn't take an hour, in Ning Qinghua's hands like a butterfly wearing flowers. The delicate and tight buckles were all completed, and the boss on the side was dumbfounded, and Li Kaiji, who followed Ning Qinghua to the third floor, was also staring. An unbelievable look.
"If you eat this bowl of rice, the entire garment store in Xiangjiang will have to close!"
A set of Chinese clothing originally priced at 120,000 yuan, the boss was stunned and only charged 40,000 yuan for labor materials. When Ning Qinghua and his party went out with their clothes, the boss looked entangled.
broke up with the Li family siblings and returned to the hotel at about six o'clock in the evening. After a short rest, Su Tiankun came over in person. At first glance, seeing Ning Qinghua's Chinese-style clothes, Su Tiankun couldn't help but light up.
It not only has the elegance and restraint of the Chinese, but also contains a free and easy temperament. Originally, two diametrically opposed temperaments converged in such a perfect harmony with the same person. Ning Qinghua, who originally looked ordinary, actually made Su Tiankun a little difficult to face at this moment.
The spirit of a cultivator is much more vigorous than that of ordinary people, even if it is an ordinary appearance. can also be set off by this spirit. What's more, the current Ning Qinghua is a genuine Jindan realm, although he is usually restrained, but as soon as he puts on this clothes, his unconscious momentum is slightly outward. Nature is extraordinary. Even if she is an innocent, elegant and cute little girl standing next to the current Ning Qinghua, she will be ignored for a while.
The banquet was held in the banquet hall of a well-known hotel in Xiangjiang, hosted by the Xiangjiang branch of the auction house of Baishijia, and the invited guests were all celebrities and gentry from the Xiangjiang area. There are quite a few people who come. Although Su Tiankun is also a bit famous in Xiangjiang, he is also one of the ones who is lost to everyone at this kind of gathering.
Of course, recently, Zhu Yan Dan has won high praise among the wealthy gentry in the Xiangjiang area, especially sought after by many wealthy wives, and the price has been rising all the way. As the only seller in Yandan, Su Tiankun, a businessman who is not a first-class rich man in Xiangjiang, has indeed attracted the attention of many top wealthy families, and his connections have been greatly expanded.
Ning Qinghua didn't have an invitation to the banquet, but every invited VIP was allowed to bring his family, Ning Qinghua and the little girl were counted as Su Tiankun's family members, and they were not hindered from entering the party.
Having had an experience in Kyoto, Ning Qinghua is not too unfamiliar with this kind of party. However, the purpose of his trip was to meet the Duke of England, and he did not pay attention to the banquet.
Unlike Ning Qinghua, the little girl participated in this kind of upper-class gathering for the first time, and as soon as she entered the banquet hall, she was dazzled by the luxury displayed in front of her. Every lady who participated in the banquet was full of eyebrows and jewels, and under the reflection of the banquet lights, it was even more brilliant.
Fortunately, the little girl was calm, and after taking two glances, she no longer paid attention, but followed Ning Qinghua closely.
"Who is that person? How can you wear this kind of clothes at a young age! ”
"I don't know, I think it's from the mainland."
……
At the party site, in addition to some well-known Xiangjiang gentry, there were also many children of their families, all of whom gathered in a bunch and chatted about some fashion topics. Seeing a Chinese-style dress, many people exchanged heads and talked about it in private.
These voices naturally couldn't escape Ning Qinghua's ears, but they didn't take these discussions to heart.
After instructing Su Tiankun to contact the duke, Ning Qinghua took the little girl to find a relatively less crowded corner and sat down.
Not long after Ning Qinghua sat down, several wealthy people who had gone to the airport to pick up the plane in the morning and had a relationship with Ning Qinghua saw him one after another and came over to talk, but in a moment, this corner that originally seemed a little clean became quite lively.
These people can also be regarded as partners who participated in the purchase and sale of the dragon beast head, and when they heard that the purpose of Ning Qinghua's visit today was to meet with the Duke of England, the topic naturally turned to this aspect.
"Hello guys!"
At this moment, when a group of people were chatting with each other, a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and looked very energetic walked over surrounded by a group of people and took the initiative to talk.
"Wang Dong, it's rare!"
Several local tycoons who were originally sitting around Ning Qinghua got up to greet the middle-aged man, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
"Who is this?"
Seeing that Ning Qinghua was sitting in such a young man's seat, he didn't mean to get up at all, but just nodded politely at himself, and the middle-aged man surnamed Wang couldn't help but stagnate slightly.
What a big shelf!
Hearing the middle-aged man surnamed Wang asking, one of the people on the side hurriedly introduced the two.
Wang Bingwen, chairman of the inland real estate giant Baode Group, just became the richest man in the inland region last year.
For this Wang Bingwen, Ning Qinghua really has no good feelings, in the last ten years in the hinterland, housing prices have skyrocketed, in addition to the local governments in the back, these real estate developers have also shared a large piece of the cake, but it is the people who are unlucky. Therefore, for these real estate businessmen, none of the ordinary people in the interior have a good impression of them.
Hearing that the young man in front of him turned out to be a master who was proficient in easy learning, Wang Bingwen couldn't help but show a look of disdain on his face.
In the inland areas, "god sticks" like Ning Qinghua are far less popular than in the Xiangjiang area.
"I heard that a few people were talking about the dragon beast head just now, I, Wang Bingwen, am very interested!"
For the so-called master, Wang Bingwen didn't care at all, his eyes swept over Ning Qinghua, and immediately pointed out the reason why he took the initiative to come.
Although some of the local tycoons present are Hong Kong's wealthy, in recent years, many of them have done business in the mainland. In front of him, the giant of the real estate industry in the inland area, it is said that he has a lot of resources in his hands. Even if there is no business contact now, if you can't keep it, you may have something to ask for someone else in the future, so everyone is still quite enthusiastic about this Wang Dong.
"I didn't expect Wang Dong to come over so coincidentally today, if Wang Dong came forward in this matter, then it should be."
In recent years, Wang Bingwen's Baode Group has spent a lot of money to collect four bronze animal heads from some large-scale auctions and collectors in the world, and now they are stored in museums under the group, which has won some good reputation in China.
This incident has also been on a lot of newspapers and television, and it has also brought some reputation to the Prudential Group, and it is also well known in the shopping mall.
"What? Will there be a bronze beast head in this spring auction? ”
Wang Bingwen's expression changed slightly, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, which flashed away.
At the moment when Wang Bingwen's feelings fluctuated, Ning Qinghua glanced at the other party in surprise. Just now, Ning Qinghua's divine sense sensed that there was suddenly a rather obvious spiritual power fluctuation around him, and the source was the richest man in the inland last year in front of him.
However, Ning Qinghua had not let go of his divine sense before, and the reason why he was able to detect this trace of spiritual power fluctuations was entirely because now that he was able to assimilate his divine consciousness to a cultivator in the divine stage, even if he did not take the initiative to investigate, he had already had an instinctive reaction to the spiritual power fluctuations within a hundred meters around him.
To be able to generate spiritual power in the body, if you are a cultivator, you also need to reach the stage of refining and refining qi. If you enter the Dao by martial arts, you need to advance to the stage of refining qi and transforming gods.
No matter which of the two situations it is, the well-known domestic entrepreneur in front of him is not simple.
Such a person paid so much attention to the bronze beast heads, Ning Qinghua was almost certain that these twelve bronze beast heads were probably not just cultural relics, but there must be hidden secrets in them.
Just when Wang Bingwen took the initiative to sit down and chatted with everyone about the bronze beast head, Su Tiankun led a foreigner with blue eyes and yellow hair over.
"Duke Lawrence."
The few wealthy people in Xiangjiang who had just sat down got up again and greeted the foreigner beside Su Tiankun.
Duke!
It seems that this one should be the collector who wants to sell the head of the dragon beast, the grand duke of England who is addicted to gambling. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
