Chapter 10: Six Hundred Thousand
In the hall of Yu Feihong's house, Cai Hongming looked at the carved gourd that was smooth and smooth, and felt that his craftsmanship this time was much better than last time.
This time, in addition to the slender and small shape, the front is also carved with the image of the five blessings such as Fulu Shou Xicai that his father said, making the gourd look more chic and exciting, unlike the last time, which was just a bare gourd.
"Master Yu's craftsmanship is really good, the gourd carved this time is much better than the last time." Cai Hongming praised.
When Yu Feihong heard his words, he blushed rarely. After a long time, he looked up at his father, who was sitting next to him, with a "hum" in his nose, and then said weakly: "This is what my father and I did together." ”
"Oh"
Cai Hongming suddenly realized, no wonder the style of this gourd was a little different from the last time. It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, Yu Feihong's craftsmanship is obviously not the same level as his father, no wonder he is always scolded by his father? It is estimated that the old man also hates wood.
This time the gourd carving master Yu is also so that he can observe the emperor who is going to carve next, so that he can know what he is lacking in and improve his craft, otherwise he will not help carve this gourd.
"Young man, what do you want to do with all that leftovers?" Master Yu asked beside him.
"What leftovers?" Cai Hongming asked puzzled.
"It's the black jade left over from the carved gourd." Yu Feihong explained.
"Are those still useful?" Cai Hongming asked curiously.
"How could it be useless?" Yu Feihong said: "Although the remaining ink jade is small, it is the best ink jade texture, as long as it is carved a little, it is not difficult to sell it at a good price, and many jade merchants are rushing to ask for it." ”
"I don't know what to do. Otherwise, Master Yu, you can help me deal with it! Cai Hongming scratched his head and said.
"Well, I'll call the shots. It just so happened that I had a friend who was in the business, so I called him and asked him to come over for a face-to-face interview, and if the price was right, we would sell it to him. Yu Feihong picked up his mobile phone and called, "Hey, do you want to open a branch?" I have some excellent ink jade leftovers here, if you want it, come over quickly, well, that's it. ”
After making the call, he wrapped the gourd on the table and put it away for Cai Hongming.
Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, I heard the doorbell ring, and then I saw a middle-aged man full of wealth walking in from outside.
"Oh, I said how early in the morning there are magpies at the door of the house, it turns out that something good is waiting for me! Lao Yu, where is the thing, take it out and take a look. Before entering the house, Yu Feihong's old friend Weng Kaizhi shouted loudly outside. When I came to the hall, I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw Master Yu, and said curtly: "Old man, you are also here!" ”
"Why, I can't be here?" Master Yu said angrily.
"No, no, if I knew you were always here, I would bring the new good tea at home and invite you to taste it." Weng Kaizhi hurriedly said.
"Hmph, do you think I'll scarce your tea? Okay, I don't care about your bullshit, just don't treat others badly in terms of price. ”
"No, no, I have always been creditworthy in business, and the price is fair, who in Yangzhou doesn't know."
Yu Feihong didn't say anything to him, dragged out a plastic box from the side, opened the lid, and the unpondered ink jade inside suddenly glowed in the light.
Weng Kaizhi saw it, immediately ran over, squatted on the ground and checked it carefully, and said after reading it: "Yes, they are all good things, I don't know how to sell them?" ”
"This is a young man's thing, and he doesn't understand the market, so you just look at it, just don't treat people badly." Master Yu spoke again.
Weng Kaizhi knew that the owner of the pile of leftovers was Cai Hongming, and hurriedly took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over, "Contemptible Weng Kaizhi is the boss of the rich gold and jade family, specializing in the trading of gold and jade. In the future, if the little brother has any good jade, just call me, and the price I will pay is absolutely fair. ”
Cai Hongming politely took the business card.
"Little brother, do you think this will work, although these leftovers can also make some jade plates, ornaments or something, but the things are too scattered, not a lot, I will pay 550,000 to buy these, what do you think?" Although he said it to Cai Hongming, his eyes looked at Old Man Yu. He knew that the old man could call the shots in this hall.
"What is multiple fractions, isn't it good to make a whole number?" Master Yu said politely.
"Okay, 600,000. Little brother, do you want to transfer money or cash. Weng Kaizhi asked Cai Hongming.
"Let's transfer money! But you only need to transfer 550,000 yuan, and I want to ask Mr. Weng to help me make a set of jewelry for my wife with black jade inlaid in gold. ”
This time, Master Yu didn't speak, but Weng Kaizhi said arrogantly: "No, it's still 600,000, even if I give you that set of jewelry." ”
Cai Hongming glanced at him and didn't say anything.
In the end, he is a businessman, his abacus is fine, and he can make people have a good impression of him with tens of thousands of yuan, and if there is something good in the future, he will definitely think of him first, and this business will not lose money at all. Besides, he can't use 50,000 yuan to make jewelry by himself.
After transferring the account, Weng Kaizhi called the clerk to bring the jewelry pattern over for Shi Wan'er to choose, and by the way, he helped her measure the size of the jewelry she was wearing.
After the call, he didn't leave, but sat down to have tea with them. He and Yu Feihong grew up together, they are friends of the general horn, and there is nothing to say about friendship.
After sitting down and taking a few sips of tea, Weng Kaizhi asked Yu Feihong: "So many leftovers must be a big piece of jade, I don't know what to carve?" ”
"Emperor." Yu Feihong said lightly.
"The old man carved it." Weng Kaizhi's eyes widened.
"Do you think I can carve it?" In front of his childhood friends, Yu Feihong calmly admitted that his skills were worse than those of the old man.
"Then you have to call me over to see it, the things carved by the old man are extraordinary."
Master Yu has followed his father to learn carving since he was a child, and his skills are exquisite, and many of his works have won domestic awards, and one of them has even been collected by the National Museum. In the jade carving industry at home and abroad, there are few people who don't know him. The things he carved, the best of which belonged to Emperor Guan Sheng. In the past, once the emperor carved by him came out, it would immediately be sought after by people at home and abroad. It's just that in recent years, due to the limitation of energy, I don't carve much anymore. This emperor carved with the best ink jade will definitely attract people in Southeast Asia who believe in the emperor to chase when the time comes, and I am afraid that it will be a price contest again.
When Master Yu heard his words, he sneered, as if to say that he also wants you to say this.
He always thought about the piece of ink jade in his heart, and it was also because Cai Hongming came to come out of the studio, and when he saw that the matter had been dealt with, he would no longer stay here, so he got up and walked to the studio.
After he left, Weng Kaizhi whispered to Yu Feihong: "Your old man still has such a character. ”
"Don't let him hear this, or you'll feel good." Yu Feihong said angrily.
"I'm afraid of something, I didn't say anything bad about him." Although he said this, Weng Kaizhi still whispered very consciously.
After a while, the clerk called by Weng Kaizhi arrived, and after the clerk helped Shi Wan'er measure the size of the jewelry he wanted to wear, he left with the clerk. After the matter was done, Cai Hongming and Shi Wan'er also got up and said goodbye and left.
