Li Wenjun took the list of wood and went to Tao Guangming.
Tao Guangming was discussing the new jade shape with Old Man Sun. When he saw Li Wenjun coming, he waved hurriedly: "Come on, come on, these are the two big ornaments you mentioned last time. They must wait for you to see them before making them. Look,
Are these two okay?"
Li Wenjun picked up the drawings and looked at them. One was a seated statue of Guanyin, and the other was a giant dragon going out to sea.
I can’t say it’s not good, I can only say it’s average, but nothing bad.
Maybe it was because Old Man Sun saw that the jade material was too big and felt pressure, fearing that the jade material would be ruined if the shape was not good, so he was a little timid.
Li Wenjun smiled: "Don't be afraid. Just design it according to your ideas. The drawings can be changed anyway."
Old man Sun said: "These two jade materials, one is long and thin, and the other is thick at the bottom and thin at the top. I can't think of any good shapes at once."
If it is a small ornament or pendant, you can pick it up at your fingertips. The ornament must be unique and colorful, otherwise buyers will not look at it.
Li Wenjun nodded: "It's not easy to start with. People who are willing to spend money to buy such a large ornament must have good taste. Therefore, the artistic conception of the shape is very important. Do you remember a Tang poem? Osmanthus flowers fall when people are idle, and the spring sky is quiet at night.
The moonrise scares the mountains and birds sing in the spring stream. Turn the slender jade material sideways to create this artistic conception."
Old man Sun nodded frequently: "Yes, yes. I probably know it when you tell me." He pulled out a piece of paper and drew an osmanthus tree. Under the tree sat two old men playing chess. The moon had risen.
They hadn't decided the winner yet, so both of them fell asleep with their chins propped up. The night birds jumped on the chessboard and pecked at the chess pieces, but they didn't wake up. The water was gurgling next to them, and the grass was delicious.
Li Wenjun nodded: "Yes, isn't that right?"
Old man Sun asked again: "Where's this thicker one?"
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said: "The material of Venus Ink Jade is dark in color, so the shape cannot be too conservative and rigid, otherwise it will be even heavier. The one just now is a scene, and this one needs to be carved into a portrait or an animal. Otherwise, if the two are placed together, it will look too heavy.
The buyer will have to give up one. I suggest you also go over and carve a reclining Buddha. The look must be more lively."
Old man Sun nodded with surprise on his face: "This is good. I just thought of one before."
He drew a Maitreya Buddha lying down with his head supported by his hands, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed. A few naughty children were patting his big belly and looking up at Maitreya Buddha. It was very interesting.
Li Wenjun nodded: "That's okay. It's quite interesting and novel. Just do it like this."
Old man Sun happily took the drawings and went there.
Tao Guangming pursed his lips: "I think you can do it yourself without me." In fact, he and Old Man Sun had been discussing it for several days, but they still couldn't come up with a satisfactory look. As a result, Li Wenjun came and solved it in three minutes.
Li Wenjun leisurely sat down on the chair in front of him: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Tao Guangming pursed his lips: "Tell me what you want me to do again."
Li Wenjun felt that Tao Guangming's rebellion was quite serious recently, so he decided to give him a candy first. He took out a jade material slightly larger than his fist: "Two days ago, I got a piece of jade material with high quality. This piece of material
It’s better than the previous one. It’s just a decoration.”
Tao Guangming immediately beamed: "Hey, if you give me something, I'll be more energetic. You have some conscience, you don't just order me around."
Tao Guangming closed the door and shutters, took out a flashlight from the drawer next to him, took a photo of the jade material, and smiled even more happily: "It is indeed a good piece of material."
He opened the blinds, sat back and asked, "How much."
Li Wenjun replied: "This is more expensive...it costs three hundred."
Tao Guangming replied with a smile: "The higher your offer, the happier I will be, which means the more I can earn."
Li Wenjun took out the list from the bag: "Oh, and Sister Hui asked me to give you this list of the origin of the wood. Let you take it to find the ones she checked."
Tao Guangming took a look and put the list in the drawer: "What else is there?"
Li Wenjun: "You know the porcelain factory, right? I'm going to customize a batch of porcelain and put it on the tea table."
Tao Guangming frowned: "Didn't I just take out a dozen-stone cup yesterday?"
Li Wenjun said: "Sold out."
Tao Guangming: "The white ones are sold out, aren't there still black ones?"
Li Wenjun sighed: "All sold out."
Tao Guangming murmured: "Wow, did you apply ecstasy on it? Such a stone cup costs 30 to 50 cents each, and it's sold out."
Li Wenjun also laughed: "Probably because it looks so good when placed on the table with a tablecloth." This is why high-end restaurants pay attention to the exquisite tableware and presentation. When placed in different environments, the value of the same product depends on the person.
It will be very different in my eyes.
If these cups were casually placed in the mud on the street, no one would stoop to take a look.
But placing it on a well-made tablecloth and table with flowers next to it will make it classy.
The phone on Tao Guangming's desk rang, and he picked it up. It turned out to be Tao Guanghui.
Tao Guanghui said: "Is Li Wenjun at your place?"
Tao Guangming snorted: "Yeah."
Tao Guanghui said: "Tell him that the tablecloth is also sold for two yuan. Ask him to wait until he gets off work and then take the cloth back and make a few more."
Tao Guangming muttered: "Are you crazy?"
He handed the phone to Li Wenjun: "You'd better tell my sister."
Li Wenjun answered the phone: "Hello, Sister Hui."
Tao Guanghui said: "All the tablecloths were sold. I didn't expect that. Just now a customer even bought the tablecloths, tea sets and tea tables. Your things were sold for a total of fifteen yuan."
Li Wenjun touched his forehead and replied: "Okay, I'll come back after I finish the porcelain factory. Please leave me three feet of dark brown, three feet of light brown, and three feet of beige cotton."
Tao Guanghui replied: "Okay, remember to come and get it."
Then hung up the phone.
Tao Guangming thought for a while and suddenly said: "It was my sister who asked you to come to me."
Li Wenjun knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he smiled: "Yes."
Tao Guangming pointed at him with his finger: "I knew you were not so kind."
Li Wenjun smiled and took out another piece of jade from his bag: "This piece is smaller than the one just now, but the quality is also very good. Okay. The base price of the jade is also three hundred."
Tao Guangming's complaints were suddenly strangled in his throat. After a while, he said: "Why don't you take it out at once..."
He took the stone and started looking at it with a smile.
Li Wenjun grinned: "That won't work. I'll take it out at first, but then you'll get angry and there's nothing to comfort you. I'll take it out later, and you'll definitely push back and forth."
Tao Guangming's smile condensed on his face, he tilted his head and muttered: "Why do I feel like I am a zoo tiger talking to the trainer? I am really being controlled by you."
Li Wenjun shook his head: "Don't say that, tiger means king, you only have patterns."
"Yes." Tao Guangming nodded, then realized that he was laughing at himself as a cat, and couldn't help but cursed, "Oh no, you got me in again."
Li Wenjun asked: "After talking so much, I have given you two pieces of jade material, but you haven't said yet whether you know the people from the porcelain factory?"
Tao Guangming touched his chin and said, "Let's go and have a look. I know them, but it depends on what you ask them to do. Their vision is relatively high, and they will definitely not accept anything that is ordinary and not high-end."
