The nature of the seminar has long since changed, and even Chen Yuchi cannot avoid this change.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be fights.

For jade carvers, what they want to fight for is fame, and with fame will there be greater benefits, Chen Yuchi and Mao Yonghui are the biggest beneficiaries among them.

Chen Yuchi doesn't have to make jade carvings by himself every year, but the jade carving factory can also earn forty or fifty million, Mao Yonghui has four factories, a single factory is not as good as Chen Yuchi, but the four can be added together, and the annual profit can reach hundreds of millions of yuan.

The more famous the masters, the more they earn.

Therefore, jade carvers attach great importance to their own fame and try their best to enhance their fame.

This seminar in Jieyang is currently the most influential event in the entire jade carving industry, and almost every year there are people who become famous in such activities, so there are indeed many excellent jade carvers who come to participate in the event.

The annual event is divided into several parts, but the most important ones are always only two.

One is the carver, and the other is the evaluation.

Carvers are to show their strength, let others see their own carving, is the highlight of each seminar, the annual carver competition will be divided into two groups, ordinary jade carvers and masters.

The master's carving competition has always been the finale.

Appraisal is to evaluate the carving, the evaluation is wrong, is the mistake, is not the right place, if the carving is to show themselves, for their own fame, then the evaluation is to find other people's stubble, suppress the fame of others.

It's a very good work, and if you can find out the faults that others can't see, it naturally shows that your level is higher than others.

Although Chen Yuchi is a top master, he is also a layman, and he can't avoid this kind of competition for fame and fortune.

Especially in recent years, he and Mao Yonghui have a strong sense of crisis, and there have been several people whose jade carving level is not inferior to them, and what these people lack is only fame compared to them.

In this case, they value their name more seriously.

After discovering Ye Yu's perverted eyesight, he decided not to pay for manual work, but also to let Ye Yu help him participate in the evaluation competition in the seminar to help him become famous.

It's just a simple evaluation of jade, and it's even more of a problem for Ye Yu, don't try to hide any mistakes in the carving of jade from his eyes, if you evaluate jade, Ye Yu is really not afraid of anyone.

In the evening, Ye Yu drank some wine with Chen Yuchi, and drank a little high, promising that Chen Yuchi would inevitably take the first place in the evaluation of work.

The second day of the seminar officially began, after the opening ceremony of the brief leadership speech, Chen Yuchi, Mao Yonghui and other masters took turns on the stage, began to criticize the current jade carving industry bad phenomena.

This critique is a whole day.

Several top masters start from the overall situation, so that everyone consciously maintains the surrounding environment, once fakes are rampant, it will affect the entire jadeite market.

If there are too many fakes, no one will dare to buy them, and if no one buys them, the jewelry company will not ask for so many goods, and the business volume of processing factories and jade carvers will drop significantly.

At that time, the worst was themselves, a large number of people were unemployed, and even if they were not unemployed, their incomes were sharply reduced.

The words of several masters are really good, very realistic, it's a pity, Ye Yu is a person from the auction company, and he is not a jade carver at all, he doesn't care about this, and he dozes off the whole time.

If he hadn't promised Chen Yuchi that he would participate in the whole process, he would definitely have slipped away in this kind of boring meeting.

On the third day, the real competition begins, this day is a competition of jade carving, but it is a competition of ordinary jade carvers, and the master's competition will be placed on the last day as the finale of the event.

The match was held at the Jieyang Stadium, which had long been closed and only their jade carvers were allowed to enter.

There are many jade carvers participating in the competition, and the all-day competition will be divided into four groups, two groups in the morning and two groups in the afternoon, each group only has one and a half hours, and a jade object should be made by hand in front of the public within an hour and a half.

In fact, in the earliest days, jade carving competitions were directly contested with finished products, but there were often artificial fakes and cheating, which were changed to on-site carving, even in the master competition.

"Ye Yu, you just need to take a good look today, tomorrow is your home field!"

Chen Yuchi specially came over and said to Ye Yu, he is one of the judges of the jade carving competition, there are a total of 20 judges in the jade carving competition, and the judges will score after each group of competitions, and finally remove the average score of the high score and the low score, which is the final score of the work.

"I understand, Master Chen, you go get busy first!"

Ye Yu also participated in such a jade carving competition for the first time, and it felt quite fresh.

Hundreds of tables were set up throughout the venue, each with common tools such as sinks, water and grinding wheels.

As for the electric drill knives, files and other tools used in the hands, they must be brought by the jade carver.

Each jade carver has their own accustomed tools, and the use of other people's tools will affect them, and these tools are all brought by themselves in each competition, and the organizing committee will not prepare them for them.

The game started directly, and immediately a referee walked out with a horn.

"Group 1, a row, Zhao Guang, Liu Zhimin......"

The people whose names were read by the referee all carried their own tools, carried the raw materials into the competition area, and sat down at the table in turn.

"Second row, Ye Yu, Ji Cheng ......"

Ye Yuzheng looked at the preparations of those jade carvers in the competition area with great interest, raised his head suddenly, and looked at the referee in amazement.

Could it be that someone has the same name for his special name?

Chen Yuchi, who had not yet returned to the judges' seat, also raised his head, also shocked and puzzled.

The second row was quickly in place, except for table number one.

The referee saw that table No. 1 was still empty, and immediately shouted into the loudspeaker: "Ye Yu, Ye Yu from Yuchi Jade Carving Factory, hurry up and get in place!"

Yuchi jade carving factory?

Ye Yu was even more stunned, his identity as a participant in the event this time was the consultant of Chen Yuchi Jade Carving Factory, and this Yuchi Jade Carving Factory, just by hearing the name, you can know who it is.

Chen Yuchi Jade Carving Factory also came to a second person named Ye Yu?

It can't be, if anything, he wouldn't be unaware.

Chen Yuchi turned around, his brows furrowed.

The referee called out the name of his jade carving factory, then this Ye Yu could only be the one who came with him, but Ye Yu was the secret weapon he used to participate in the evaluation activities, and Chen Yuchi did not sign him up for the jade carving competition at all.

"Ye Yu of Yuchi Jade Carving Factory, don't come to dispose of it as a discarded plug anymore!" the referee shouted for the second time.

"It's coming, it's coming!" someone answered, next to Ye Yu, it was Han Xiang.

"Han Xiang, what's going on?" Chen Yuchi happened to walk back and immediately asked.

"Master, it was you who told me to sign up for everyone who came this time, I thought Ye Yu would also participate, so I reported his name together!"

Chen Yuchi brought three jade carver apprentices this time, that is, let them participate in the jade carver competition, the three apprentices are all good, and the jade carver competition can get a good result.

But he didn't expect that Han Xiang would also register Ye Yu.

"Nonsense, go explain the situation to the referee immediately!"

Chen Yuchi immediately glared, and his voice was a lot more serious, Chen Yuchi knew that Ye Yu didn't know how to jade carving at all, but Han Xiang signed him up, this is not nonsense.

Besides, Ye Yu is his secret weapon, so nothing can go wrong at this time.

"Master Chen, wait!" Ye Yu stood up.

Han Xiang actually registered himself in the jade carving competition, which was indeed beyond his expectations, but he knew very well that Han Xiang did it on purpose, deliberately taking advantage of the loopholes in Master Chen's words to target himself.

His purpose is actually easy to guess, that is, he wants to make a fool of himself.

Ye Yu stood up straight and asked lightly, "Master Han, you just said that it was Master Chen's request to sign up for me, and Master Chen's request is that everyone who comes this time must sign up, right?"

Ye Yu emphatically mentioned the word 'all'.

"That's right!" Han Xiang tilted his head.

"Then let me ask you, have you signed up for Assistant Hu?"

Ye Yu's question made Han Xiang stunned for an instant.

Assistant Hu is Chen Yuchi's assistant who came with him this time, and he is not a jade carver, he is equivalent to Chen Yuchi's secretary, who helps Chen Yuchi deal with some trivial matters.

"Assistant Hu himself is unwilling!"

Han Xiang definitely couldn't sign him up, so he could only answer in a fool's way, Ye Yu looked at him with a weird smile.

Ye Yu guessed well, the reason why Han Xiang deliberately brought him when he signed up was to make trouble for Ye Yu and watch him laugh.

Han Xiang knew that Ye Yu was not a jade carver, and he would definitely abandon the plug if he signed up, but the event strictly stipulated that as long as the plug was abandoned, he would not be allowed to participate in the competition for the rest of his life.

In this way, even if Ye Yu agreed to worship Chen Yuchi as a teacher in the future, he would not be qualified to participate in this kind of activity, and this result was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone for Han Xiang.

It can not only be angry, but also bury a big hole for future competitors.

Han Xiang was always worried that Ye Yu would agree to Chen Yuchi's request to accept apprentices, this was the first time that Chen Yuchi took the initiative to accept apprentices, once Ye Yu also became Chen Yuchi's apprentice, it would definitely be the most favored one, which was also one of the reasons why he targeted Ye Yu everywhere.

"I'll settle your business for you when you go back, and now go and cancel Ye Yu's game immediately!"

Chen Yuchi is not stupid, he has also figured out a lot, and knows that it is all his apprentice's hands and feet, but this is not the time to get angry, so he can only suppress his anger first, but his tone is very harsh.

"Master Chen, what's the situation on your side?"

The referee came over and asked, because Ye Yu had already delayed some time, but he recognized Chen Yuchi, so his tone was very gentle.

Chen Yuchi has a great influence in the jade carving industry, and he is also the part-time vice president of the National Jade Carving Association, which is not something that he can offend as a small referee.

"It's nothing, Ye Yu doesn't participate in this competition!" Chen Yuchi said.

"Discarded?"

The referee was slightly stunned, because of the severe punishment, no one has abandoned it for several years, but he didn't expect to meet one today, and this person is obviously related to Chen Yuchi.

"Master Chen, I can participate in the competition!"

Ye Yu said unexpectedly, including Chen Yuchi, Han Xiang, and all the people who came with him, all looked straight at him.

Especially Chen Yuchi, he knew Ye Yu's past very well, knew that he was a student, and then worked in an auction company, and he had never done jade carving at all.

"Ye Yu, this is not the time to be vindictive!" Chen Yuchi persuaded.

"Master Chen, don't worry, I'm not vindictive, but I don't have jade carving tools, can you help me find a set?"

Ye Yu is not a jade carver, and he has never thought about participating in the competition, how can he have tools.

Without waiting for Chen Yuchi to answer, Ye Yu said again: "I didn't prepare the raw materials either, it just so happens that I have one in the vault, can you get it for me from the vault?"

Ye Yu only put a piece of jadeite raw material in the vault, which was the ice emerald that he solved a few days ago, or Chen Yuchi helped him put it in, Chen Yuchi naturally knew.

After hearing Ye Yu's words, Chen Yuchi's brows furrowed even tighter.

Ye Yu didn't think so much about it, Han Xiang dared to openly yin him now, but unfortunately this time it was destined to disappoint Han Xiang, isn't it a jade carving?

It's just a jade, he can really carve, he can carve.
