Chapter 735: Jade Bonsai
Under the guidance of the girl, several people came to the aisle between the two warehouses in the courtyard, and saw Chen Xiaobao concentrating on his work, apparently polishing objects with emery.
"Director Chen, the boss is here." The girl said.
Xiaobao raised his head and saw that it was Wuyang, so he smiled and said, "Brother Wuyang, you haven't been to the factory for a long time." ”
"Xiaobao, this is Uncle Li, this is Brother Li, I will accompany them to take a look today, this little sister said that you are carving a beautiful work of art, this is a pot of lotus flowers."
"Yes, this is not an ordinary pot of lotus flowers, not to mention that this is a piece of glass jadeite, I alone have spent more than two years carving, working more than 12 hours a day."
"Xiaobao, why don't you move it indoors and carve it?"
"At first, it was to be moved indoors, the whole piece of jadeite has more than 20 tons, the forklift can't move, when moving with a crane, the jadeite cracked, and then I didn't think about moving. But that's exactly what happened. ”
"What about the split section?"
"It was a piece of white jadeite of glass seed, which had been used to carve other objects. After the crack, I saw that this section was variegated, if it was not handled well, it would have no value, and if it could be skillfully used in various colors, it would be able to carve a better work of art. It took me more than a month to figure out the plan, and I finally came up with the current design. ”
Uncle Li said, "Director Chen, are all green, red, blue, and black natural? ”
"At that time, it was all wrapped in white, after all, it was jadeite, not glass. It's not very clear to see. Later, slowly cut off some of the white jadeite. It's more obvious. The water in this pot, that is, the blue jadeite, turned out to be the same height as the black pot, and I cut off some of it, and the lotus tip, lotus stem, and lotus leaf stem inside were more obvious. ”
Wuyang said: "Xiaobao, this work of yours is really ingenious, look at these lotus canopies." The old ones are all black, and the small ones are still green, and these red lotuses, with buds ready to be released, and the dewdrops on them, are just like the real ones, quite cute. ”
Xiaobao said: "It's a pity that the yellow color is missing, otherwise carving a lotus stamen that has just opened will add a lot of color to the whole work." But look at the frog on the lotus leaf. There are also tadpoles and small fish looming in the water, which bring the work to life. ”
Li Xize said: "Director Chen. I guess the whole work should be 10 tons, right? ”
"Pretty much."
Wuyang said: "It's too big, and it's more difficult to carry. ”
Xiaobao said: "Brother Wuyang, you don't have to think about the handling, it has already been bought." The payment has been received, I am doing the final polishing, and I will pack it and send it away tomorrow. ”
"Who bought it? What's the price? ”
"A Chinese American, is to invest in Lujiang, at the beginning of the year the municipal government staff took him to visit the factory, at that time this thing has not been fully carved, but he took a fancy to this thing at a glance, at that time paid a deposit, two days in advance to pay 3 billion US dollars, others are now living in the city government guest house."
Wuyang said, "Xiaobao, can you contact him now?" ”
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"Return the money to him, and say that he will not sell it."
Uncle Li said, "Wuyang, what are you going to do?" ”
"Uncle, I want to give it to you, we don't need this money, such a treasure, if you sell it, you will never find it again."
Uncle Li laughed, "Are you stupid? Not to mention that doing business should be about credibility, just give it to me, where do I put such a big thing? Isn't it uncomfortable for me to take it? Besides, although it is a work of art, it cannot be eaten or drunk, and if it is compared to the dollar, it is real money, so what can you buy? It will be difficult to find such a buyer in the future. ”
Li Xize also said: "Big brother, what my uncle said makes sense, don't insist on it." If you insist on being polite, let's choose a few things that can be moved, and let Brother Chen carve them out for us, shall we exchange the jadeite? ”
Uncle Li said, "Wuyang, I think Nishizawa is right, so let Director Chen take us to have a look." ”
Xiaobao said, "Uncle, you come with me, it's in the warehouse near the hall." ”
A few people entered the warehouse, only to see the iron shelves, wooden shelves, full of large and small, all kinds of color objects, leader statues, Buddha statues, Guanyin statues, as well as jade cabbage and all kinds of cartoon animals, characters, etc., it is really everything, dizzying.
Wuyang saw that Li Xize's uncle and nephew's eyes were staring, and he didn't know how to choose, so he said, "Uncle, Xize, I'll help you with the staff officer?" ”
"Okay. Wuyang, you help come up with ideas. ”
"That's right, my uncle is in politics, and I'm going to take this path in the future, I think you all have to have a statue of a leader, and Ishizawa will also help me bring one to the boss." Uncles and aunts may have to look for spiritual sustenance when they get older, and maybe they want to pay homage to Guanyin and worship the Buddha, so they will bring Buddha statues and Guanyin statues back. In addition, this jade cabbage, innocent and pure, is placed at home, which can always remind us to be innocent and do more good things for the country and the people. ”
Uncle Li said: "Wuyang, I'm here for you to visit, but the rules and precepts that have been guarded for decades have been ruined, so what are you talking about innocence?" ”
Wuyang said: "Uncle, what you said is really a birth, right?" If you don't recognize me as a nephew, I'll charge you at the market price for these things. No matter how much money I bought in, I will charge 2 billion for the large items and 500 million for the small ones, and I will take them all back after the wool shipped back from Myanmar is cut out and sold. ”
"Wuyang, uncle just sighed, why are you angry? Tell your uncle how much each piece costs. ”
"Don't talk about the cost, a fixed price."
"Stinky boy, you're still in it. Director Chen, tell me about it. ”
Xiaobao said: "Uncle, these jadeites are cut out of the wool bought by Brother Wuyang, in the early years, the price of a piece of wool." It's $3,000. Now it could be 3, 50,000 or more. But we have these things. They were all carved two years ago, and the cost of buying wool and carving is about 200,000 yuan per piece. ”
Nishizawa said: "Uncle, among the wool I bought, there are very few people who can cut out such a good jadeite, and if you can cut out a piece of 1,000 pieces, it is considered lucky, otherwise no one would have paid such a high price." ”
Uncle Li said, "Then I don't care." Afternoon Sun. I fancy as many pieces, I will pay you the cost price of 1 million per piece, and let Director Chen arrange for someone to issue a receipt, and let Xize transfer money to you immediately. I know I'm taking advantage of you, but if someone finds out in the future, I'll always buy it. ”
Wuyang said: "Uncle, your salary of thousands of yuan a month, where did you get the money to buy such a thing?" ”
Uncle Li smiled: "Yes, it can't stand up to inspection." Forget it, I won't take it. There's no need to talk to you about money. Noon, let's take a picture of what we like. In the future, I cut out the jadeite that can carve these objects in my wool, and we will carve it, and if there is no hope, people don't live in hope? ”
"Uncle, you and the boss have been innocent for a lifetime, it is impossible to let others have a chance to gossip, besides, our faction is not made of tofu, it is impossible to decline to this point."
"Yes, after my brother takes the position, he must raise the training and selection of successors to a strategic level to understand and attach importance to it, and he can't be careless about Jingzhou."
"Uncle, these things are what your older generation should consider, we can only do our job well, accept the choice of the motherland and the people with excellent results, and of course, accept the choice of the boss."
"Wuyang, your attitude is very good, what you have to do in the future is to do a good job as always. After all, it is up to people to succeed, and if you work hard, you will be worthy of the organization, the people, and yourself. This is what the ancients said, looking up is worthy of the sky, and bowing down is worthy of the earth. ”
"Thank you uncle for your teachings, I will try. Uncle, Nishizawa, you see what you like, as well as what Xiaorui and her brother and sister like, pick some, and I'll arrange for someone to send them to you. Cut out the jadeite in the capital, you give me 150% of the weight of this grade of jadeite, so that I will not only not suffer, but also may take advantage. ”
Uncle Li smiled: "Yes, this is flexibility, you didn't suffer, we also saved a lot of trouble such as finding someone to design and carve, and we also got what we wanted." However, these items can only be registered first, and you can send them to us after you get our jadeite, otherwise it will not work. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Uncle Li went to move the statue of the leader, but he didn't move it even hard, and Nishizawa also moved it, but he barely moved it. "Big brother, this may be 200 pounds, right?"
"No, we used to weigh 80 kilograms. Our shelves were carried by 3 people. Xiaobao said.
Li Xize said: "Then we want the small ones." ”
Wuyang approached and lifted the statue with both hands, lifted it above his head, and put it down gently, "Xi Ze, after you have practiced martial arts with me, it will be effortless to lift it, it still needs to be big and magnificent." ”
Uncle Li said, "Director Chen, why didn't you carve the statues of the second and third generation leaders? ”
Xiaobao said: "We carve the statue of the leader, but also according to the needs of the market, there is no limit, if someone customizes, we can also carve." ”
Wuyang said: "The current statues were popular in the whole country before I was born, but they were all plaster before, and we just copied them." In the future, if our country has built a well-off society in an all-round way under the leadership of the boss, and the people are grateful to Dade and need to invite the statue of the boss back, we can also carve a large number of them. ”
Uncle Li said: "A moderately prosperous society must be built, and it is still unknown under whose leadership it will be built, so we will not talk about these words." Nishizawa, let's pick out the objects. ”
As the uncle and nephew walked, they designated the objects they liked, and Xiaobao followed behind to record. After being busy for half an hour, each selected a dozen pieces, Xiaobao registered and was ready to go. When he got into the car, Uncle Li suddenly said, "Director Chen, where was the girl just now?" ”
"Upstairs."
Wuyang hurriedly pulled Xiaobao away, "Xiaobao, Uncle Li has taken a fancy to that girl, can you match?" ”
Xiaobao said: "Brother, this girl was in love when she was in college, although she broke up after graduation. I'm afraid it's not original. ”
"What kind of original goods are there to talk about in society today. This girl has a good face and figure. Temperament is okay, Uncle Li is a leader, and she won't suffer if he follows. ”
"Okay, I'll talk about it. Brother Wuyang, how can you say this? ”
"You tell her that if Uncle Li wants to have a long-term relationship with her, you can transfer her to work in a jewelry store in the capital, and the house and car will be complete. The money will not be less, and if she wants to open her own store in the future, we will help her open a store. If it's to be a dewy mandarin duck tonight, let her make a price, we will satisfy her, and we will keep it secret for her. ”
"What if you don't do it?"
"Then find someone else, people who are not tempted in the face of money, after all, they are a minority."
Xiaobao went for a while and came back," Brother Wuyang, Dai Pei said. Don't talk about it, she has something to tell you. Can you go in and talk to her? ”
"No, forget it, let's go." After Wuyang finished speaking, he got in the car and started the car, "Uncle, I can't find that girl, I don't know where she went, and the mobile phone is unanswered." ”
"I'll just say that, let's go."
Back at the Heyuan Hotel, it was not yet 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Wuyang let the bar open two rooms, gave the room card to Li Xize, and sent Uncle Li into the room by himself.
"Uncle, there is no bathing center here, or I will arrange for you to have a massage?"
"Forget it, I'm a little tired, take a break."
"Okay, I'll teach Nishizawa luck kung fu later, it may take two hours at a time, you can eat first when you're hungry."
"You arrange the car to send us to the airport tomorrow, and go busy with your business, you don't need to send it, see you in the capital in a few days."
"Okay, uncle, when I get to the capital, I'll contact Nishizawa."
Wuyang went downstairs to find the lobby manager, and said that he was looking for two beautiful girls to accompany the guests, and the manager said: "Boss, after the swallows left last time, these girls were very envious, and they all hoped to climb the high branches, and the sparrows would become phoenixes." ”
"I don't know if it's long-term or temporary this time, but they won't be at a loss, so you can go and call two people up now."
"Boss, do you want one yourself?"
"I don't want to. I'm messing around here, what kind of system have I become? ”
When he returned to Li Xize's room, he told him the essentials and precautions for the operation of true qi, and asked him to take off his clothes and begin. Nishizawa asked while undressing, "Big brother, what should I do when the meeting is finished and it gets up?" ”
"I arranged for a girl to come up for you, and I definitely can't let you practice only part of the exercises. Nishizawa, whether the girl can take a fancy or not, it's up to you to decide. ”
"Big brother, if you don't like it, it's just this time, if you like it, take it back."
"Okay, if you like it or not, we can't treat people badly. If I bring them back to the capital, as my mother's family, I will send a dowry, and I will pay for the money to settle their families, and I will buy the villa in Tibet, and if they want to work, I will arrange it. ”
"Big brother, you've already given enough, so you don't need to break the bank. You can arrange a job, it's really someone you like, and I'm afraid that she will be seduced outside. ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, Wuyang opened the door, and a tall girl in a yellow cheongsam came in, and Wuyang made a gesture of please.
The girl said, "Boss, is this gentleman a person?" ”
Wuyang looked at the girl for a while, and thought it was very good, with big eyes, fair skin, and a slender figure, probably wearing high heels, almost as tall as herself. "Yes. You may sit down, I will unblock the meridians for this gentleman, and you can rest next to you. Nishizawa, what do you think? ”
Li Xize said: "Yes. Girl, what's your name? ”
"Zhang Xian, bent the bow Zhang, a casual leisure next to the woman. What about you, sir. ”
Zhang Xian asked unintentionally, Wuyang and Nishizawa both knew that if it was a woman in Fengyue Place, she would not ask for someone else's name, even if she asked, the answer would be false. Wuyang knew that if Li Xize told her name, he would definitely take her away, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.
"Zhang Xian, good name. My surname is Li, so you can call me Xi Ze or Brother Li. ”
"Okay, Brother Li, you practice, I'll prepare a towel to wipe your sweat." Zhang Xian took off her cheongsam, threw off her high heels, and went to the bathroom in tight underwear and slippers.
Wuyang began to inject true qi for Nishizawa, and it took two hours before finally walking it all over. Zhang Xian was next to Nishizawa to wipe her sweat, and the black grease and dirt discharged made her wash the towel over and over again.
After finishing at noon, I said goodbye, went to the bar to arrange a vehicle for tomorrow's delivery, and did not eat at the hotel, and went home directly. For Li Xize, Wuyang did not teach Zhu Qibing, Qin Zhengyuan and Cai Limin, he had to let him reach a certain height, if he had perseverance, he would come to Yihe to work anyway, and there would be time.
In the underground parking lot of Ssangyong Villa, I met Xiaobao again.
Xiaobao looked at the surroundings and said with a smile: "Brother Wuyang, Dai Pei asked for your mobile phone number, and he will call you." ”
"How can you casually leak my mobile phone number?"
Xiaobao said: "People are stalking, what can I do?" Besides, I won't sue her now, and if you come together in the future, I won't offend her to death. ”
"If you're afraid of offending her, aren't you afraid of offending me?"
"Brother Wuyang, is Dai Pei not beautiful enough, or do you think she is an employee in my factory, which will make me difficult to manage."
"No, it's because there are too many women in my family that I can't take care of them."
Xiaobao smiled: "Brother, I want to tell you a few reasons, are you willing to listen to me?" ”
"Let's go back, you say."
"This Dai Pei is not only beautiful, but also very smart. After coming to the factory for a few months, I was still an apprentice, and I carved two particularly exquisite small objects, but those who came in at the same time did not know how to use tools. ”
"It just shows that she's ingenious."
"There are indeed a lot of ingenious people, but when carving jadeite, she is particularly inspired to design works according to the size, shape and color of jadeite, which makes me sigh to myself. Let's put it this way, I'm a craftsman at best, and she has the potential to be a master. ”
"Okay, even if your reason is valid, go on."
"What's more, among these sisters-in-law, Lin Hua's sister-in-law designs some drawings in her spare time, but she is not very good at carving, and the drawings are often out of touch with jadeite. Dai Pei will always work in the factory in the future, so he can carry the banner of design. Some time ago, An Lan's sister-in-law came to the factory and told me that she was going to build a jewelry processing factory over there, and I couldn't manage the work here, so there was definitely no way to get over, and if Dai Pei also became a sister-in-law, she could rest assured that the factory would be handed over to her to manage. ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "The reason is indeed quite sufficient, but if I let her live a superior life because I married her, but made her slack off, then wouldn't I ruin a future design master?" ”
"She told me that she was born to design jewelry all her life, and after being your person, her main focus is still on jewelry design, and if you don't speak, she will stay in the factory."
"You let her study hard, take her to the house to play when you have time, and I will introduce her to someone."
"Brother Wuyang, who are you going to introduce her to?"
"To Fang Xiaoyang, what do you think?"
"Fang Xiaoyang is quite good, young, very handsome, and very capable, and he is a good match for Dai Pei. In the future, Fang Xiaoyang will manage a conglomerate, Dai Pei tube processing factory, and design jewelry, all of which are the backbone of the company. However, it's still a pity, Brother Wuyang, I asked and confirmed that my guess was wrong. ”
"What guess is wrong?"
"I thought she had fallen in love in college, but she was already a broken flower."
"It's okay, I don't care about that, let alone introducing someone else. Xiaobao, how did you ask such words? Wuyang smiled. (To be continued......)
