This is the top event in the jade industry, if you want to do a good job in this aspect of jade, this jade event must be attended, because this event, not only the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the merchants of several surrounding provinces will come to participate.

The venue of this grand event is in the provincial capital, although there is still a short period of time before the start, Lin Fan also plans to leave for it today.

After all, it was the first time to participate, and it was such an important event, Lin Fan had to go over in advance to prepare.

So don't talk about proving yourself, Lin Fan can't even go home tonight, and Liu Meng can't see his face, so he can only spend time in the train.

Although Lin Fan was reluctant to give up his little wife at home, there was no way.

This event can be said to be the most authoritative event in the jade industry, and the slightest mistake will seriously affect your reputation in the jade industry.

Lin Fan's jade shop had just opened not long ago, and the foundation was still shallow, so in order to become famous, Lin Fan had to participate in this event.

But in a newly opened shop, there may be good jade, but there are definitely no carved masterpieces that can be used to participate in a grand event of this scale.

Because a work that can be outstanding must be carefully polished and carved, it is impossible to produce a finished product in a year and a half, even with the help of a big man like Mr. Jin.

The Yuan family specially sent an invitation to invite Lin Fan to participate in the event this time, which was obviously ill-intentioned.

Lin Fan could probably guess that the Yuan family should have concluded that their Liu family could not get a decent jade, and if they used the topic to play a detrimental role to the Liu family at the event, the reputation of the Liu family in the jade shop would definitely be damaged, and the business of the jade shop would most likely be affected by this, and if it was not recognized by the jade event, even if the shop was not allowed to enter the door of the jade shop, it could only make a small fuss, and it would not become too big a climate.

However, Lin Fan knew this, and he still had to participate in this jade event.

It just so happened that he had newly received five mandrill imps in the jade, and he was sure that he would be able to create a masterpiece in a short period of time.

However, the Yuan family in Ningzhou had too much eyeliner to concentrate on creating this treasure, so Lin Fan came to the provincial capital early in order to find a hidden place to create this treasure.

The provincial capital is not as strong as Ningzhou, the Yuan family's power here is not large, and they are not familiar with it, and it is much easier to avoid the Yuan family's eyeliner than Ningzhou.

When Lin Fan arrived in the provincial capital, it was already dark, so he first found a hotel to stay in, planning to find a good place to release five imps to help him carve jade the next day.

……

In the blink of an eye, the next day, Lin Fan was just about to go out, but he didn't expect Zhou Liang to find the door, still holding three delicate wooden lockets in his hands.

"Master, the jade conference is approaching, and the good goods on the market are basically for my own use or sold to other companies, and I have been shopping for several days before I can find such a few items that are quite eye-catching."

As he spoke, Zhou Liang hurriedly put the wooden boxes on the table and opened them one by one.

Inside are a mutton fat jade bottle, a white jade horse and a jade jade bracelet, three pieces of jade workmanship exquisite, delicate carving, it is considered to be the top grade, but there is really no feature, there is still a little distance from the best.

Lin Fan looked at these jade artifacts and shook his head slightly, "The jade festival is full of bright stars, I'm afraid these jade artifacts can't do it." ”

"I also know no," Zhou Liang smiled bitterly, "But today is the last day to register for the jade event, such jade can at least pass the primary qualification, so that our jade shop can successfully participate in this jade event, if you can't even get these jades, then you won't even be qualified to participate in this event!" ”

"So there's still such a saying." Lin Fan suddenly realized.

Zhou Liang was also a little confused, and subconsciously asked, "Master rushed over yesterday, wasn't it in a hurry to sign up today?" ”

"No, I just wanted to come over in advance to prepare." Lin Fan smiled a little embarrassedly.

For such an important matter, he didn't ask it clearly in advance, and it was indeed his mistake.

How dare Zhou Liang blame Lin Fan, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, Master's jade shop has just opened, and there are a lot of things to be busy, so it's not strange to forget about this matter for a while, and blame me, I thought you knew about it, and I didn't inform you in advance." ”

"Forget it, let's not mention this matter for now, I haven't prepared the jade for the election, so let's take your few pieces to sign up today." Lin Fan said.

Zhou Liang sighed helplessly, "That's all it can be." ”

Saying that, Zhou Liang directly put away the wooden box on the table, and was about to follow Lin Fan to the venue of the jade event, but before he went out, Zhou Long also came, and he also took a few wooden boxes in his hand, Zhou Liang's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw this, and he quickly asked: "What kind of good treasure did Mr. Zhou get in exchange for Tao?" ”

"Where is a good treasure," Zhou Liang also smiled wryly, "It's all ordinary ornaments, they looked good before, they were bought and collected, I heard that today is the last day to register for the jade event, so I hurriedly brought it over and made up a number for Brother Lin." ”

Saying that, Zhou Long opened the wooden box directly, and the result was exactly the same as what he said, there were only some very common jade ornaments inside, such as the auspicious ornaments of Nabao and Pixiu, although the workmanship and jade quality were good, but it was too ordinary, and the carving was also very ordinary, and eight of the ten jade counters had similar ornaments for sale, and they were not even as brilliant as the three pieces that Zhou Liang had just taken.

Zhou Liang looked disappointed, such a product couldn't even meet the qualifications to sign up, let alone anything else.

"There are not many jade artifacts in the jade event, and if there are defective products mixed with them, it will reduce points." Zhou Liang couldn't say it clearly, so he could only say it euphemistically.

Zhou Long is a shrewd person, when he heard this, he immediately knew what Zhou Liang meant, and hurriedly took the initiative to speak: "Since this is the case, then forget it, I won't use these things that can't be on the table to make trouble for Brother Lin." ”

As soon as Zhou Long's words fell, a hearty voice came from outside, "Mr. Zhou can still add to the chaos, I don't have anything in my hands, and I don't even have the qualifications to add chaos." ”

This voice is very familiar to several people, and it must be that Song Laohu didn't run away.

Thinking about it, Song Laohu had already strode over, but there was nothing in his hands.

Seeing that Zhou Long and Zhou Liang had something in their hands, Song Laohu didn't feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "I've been a little busy these days, I just learned about the jade event yesterday, I didn't like jade very much before, I don't have a decent collection at home, I want to buy one temporarily, but I went all over the jade shops in Xiangcheng, and I didn't see a decent product, so I could only come empty-handed, purely for Brother Lin." ”

"It's okay, anyway, it's no longer a problem to sign up now, let's go to the venue to register first." Lin Fan didn't care, anyway, he still had a backhand, and now he just wanted to hurry up and report this name first.

The three of them immediately agreed, Xiangcheng is not far from the provincial capital, Song Laohu asked the driver to drive his own car, and after going out, he directly let the three of them into the back seat, and then sat in the co-pilot's position and told the driver to drive to the venue.

The hotel was very close to the venue and a few people arrived quickly.

The three ornaments brought by Zhou Long were not used, and it was also a burden to carry, so he simply stayed in the car and got out of the car empty-handed.

Several people came all the way to the registration office, and even ran into acquaintances.

Mr. Jin also saw Lin Fan, quickly stood up from his seat, and came over to greet Lin Fan enthusiastically, "Brother Lin, you are here too, are you here to sign up?" ”

Lin Fan nodded.

However, Zhou Liang couldn't help but light up when he saw Mr. Jin's eyes, and he started to think carefully, and he also knew that the relationship between Mr. Jin and Lin Fan was very good, so he directly whispered: "We don't have any works that we can do this time, I don't know if Mr. Jin has a way......

"I'm afraid it won't work this time," before Zhou Liang finished speaking, Mr. Jin interrupted directly, his expression was very embarrassed, "This time I want to be a judge, in order to prevent the judges from favoritism, we have been monitored throughout the whole process, and there is no way to bring any works in for you, not even biased towards you at all, this time I can't do anything, I can't help you." ”

Lin Fan looked indifferent and just wanted to say that it was nothing, but at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the side......
