Super Golden Hand Text Chapter 1265, Chapter 1266 Competitors (two chapters in one)
President Xi and his party didn't say much after picking up Li Yang. They chatted for a while and then helped him arrange a room.
Li Yang politely refused Chairman Xi's arrangement. Chen Wuji was his master. It was impossible for him to stay in a hotel when he came to Jieyang. Otherwise, Chen Wuji would have to snatch him away from here and scold him.
.
But having said that, the hotel arranged by the Jade Association for the participating masters this time was not bad.
Shen Zhengde's hotel itself is a five-star hotel. The Jade Association has arranged a luxurious suite for each participating master. There are more than a hundred participating masters, plus some staff and special guests of the Jade Association. The hotel alone
Accommodation is a big expense.
In order to achieve good results for this event, the Jade Association was really generous.
But the money is not coming from the Jade Association. This Masters Tournament is open to the public and will be broadcast on television. Tickets, advertising and broadcast fees will make the Jade Association a huge fortune. These entertainment expenses are just a piece of cake.
"Li Yang, come, come to my place, let's have a good chat!"
After leaving President Xi, Huang Hao enthusiastically grabbed Li Yang. He stayed in the hotel. After knowing that Li Yang was coming, he had been waiting all the time.
Huang Hao took Li Yang directly to his room, and he closed the door after entering the room.
This time, Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang did not travel with Li Yang. Zhao Kui and Haidong followed directly into the room. Huang Hao greeted them to sit down first and then went to make tea.
"Junior brother, this is the finest Biluochun, try my craftsmanship!"
After making tea, Huang Hao looked more attentive and smiled. This made Li Yang feel very uncomfortable.
"Senior Brother Huang, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be like this, I'm not used to it!"
Li Yang looked at Huang Hao and stepped back. Li Yang knew a little about Huang Hao, but he had never been like this before.
"Hey, since junior brother is so cheerful, then senior brother, I will tell you directly!"
Huang Hao rubbed his hands and continued: "Junior brother, actually I have nothing else to do. I know you have a lot of top-grade jade raw materials, and I want to ask you for a favor. This time I want your black and white piece.
Impermanence, can you transfer the black and white impermanence to me?"
Black and white are impermanent?
Li Yang's eyes widened and he laughed softly.
He finally understood why Huang Hao's performance today was so abnormal. The sentimental guy was interested in the raw materials he had. This Jade Carving Masters Competition was the same as the Twin Cities Masters Competition. The Jade Association only made arrangements. All participating masters had raw materials.
You have to bring it yourself.
In the past few months, the prices of various high-end raw materials have increased again. This is because these masters are looking for raw materials for competitions. It is difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice. Without good raw materials, it is useless to have the best carving skills.
And the better the raw materials, the easier it is to highlight the carving skills. Almost all the masters participating this time brought excellent raw materials.
Huang Hao himself prepared a piece of top-quality raw material. But after hearing that Li Yang was coming, he immediately had the idea of the black and white piece that Li Yang had.
Top-quality raw materials are common, but black and white impermanence, which occurs only once in a century, is even rarer. Moreover, the design of this kind of top-quality jade is more difficult than ordinary top-quality jade, which is also a rare challenge for Huang Hao.
"Don't worry, junior brother, I will never let you suffer. I will give you a satisfactory price. How about 150 million?"
Huang Hao looked at Li Yang nervously. He had been staring at this piece of jade for a long time. If he hadn't had time and Li Yang was busy, he would have gone to Li Yang long ago.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
Li Yang opened his mouth, a little surprised by the price.
He solved Black and White Impermanence last year, around the same time as now. At that time, the maximum number of talents was 110 million, and the market price at that time was also like this.
Unexpectedly, just one year later, it would have increased by another 40 million. This was still the price paid by Huang Hao.
"Yes, 150 million. If you agree, junior brother, we can sign the contract now!"
Huang Hao nodded hurriedly. He attached great importance to this national masters competition. He understood that with the improvement of people's lives, the jade carving industry will definitely develop rapidly.
With the success of the Twin Cities Masters, the possibility of the success of the National Masters is also extremely high. This is the first national competition, and it has never happened before. When the National Masters really makes a name for itself, it will occupy the leadership position.
After that, it may even become a Nobel Prize in the jade carving industry.
Even if it is not, it will become a very influential domestic competition.
In such a competition, Huang Hao really wants to leave his name and become the champion of the first Masters. In the future, when this event becomes really famous, his name will inevitably be passed down forever.
The temptation of leaving his name forever is quite attractive to Huang Hao, so he is very, very attentive to this competition.
It's a pity that the problems he saw can also be seen by others. This Masters Tournament has many masters who don't usually show up, but many high-level masters come to participate.
There are even some retired masters who have come back to compete for the championship.
Under this situation, even Huang Hao was not 100% sure of winning the championship, so he thought of being more outstanding in terms of raw materials. With Black and White Impermanence, his hope of winning the championship could be increased by a few points.
This is also the reason why he offered Li Yang a high price when he came up.
One hundred and fifty million is indeed not low, but it is not particularly high either. The price of jade has increased a lot in the past year, and with the hype of this Masters, the better the raw materials, the higher the price.
.
If Li Yang spreads the word, I believe there are many jade carving masters who would be willing to buy it at this price.
For the jade carving masters, they may not be able to come up with the money for a while, but there are definitely people who are willing to sponsor it. This is a raw material. The value will increase after the carving is turned into a finished product. It is also a luxury product that many people are rushing to grab. Such raw materials no matter
No matter how expensive it is, they won't lose money.
"Senior Brother Huang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time!"
Li Yang sighed lightly and slowly shook his head. Huang Hao immediately became a little anxious and shouted loudly: "Junior brother, are you not satisfied with the price? If not, we can talk again. You have to believe in my sincerity!"
"Senior brother, you misunderstood. It's not about the price. I think senior brother should know that I will also participate in this competition. This piece of black and white impermanence is the raw material I use for this competition!"
Li Yang shook his head again and stated the reason directly.
Li Yang did not deceive him. Black and White Impermanence was really the raw material for him to participate in the Masters this time, and Chen Wuji helped him refer to it.
Li Yang had a lot of jadeite on his hands, and there were a lot of top-quality raw materials. When they were choosing, Chen Wuji and Li Yang had a headache. They didn't know which one to choose.
After final consideration, Chen Wuji helped Li Yang decide on Black and White Wuchang. At that time, Chen Wuji still regretted it. He would have known that he had left some of Li's dragon stone seed materials. It was absolutely most appropriate for Li Yang to use dragon stone seeds to compete.
The outside world does not know these things. If they knew, Huang Hao would not seek out Li Yang.
But if the outside world really knew about it, I'm afraid they would go crazy with jealousy. They would all be anxious to find a piece of top-quality raw materials. Li Yang was lucky, there were more than a dozen pieces, and he didn't know how to choose.
"That's right!"
Huang Hao's eyes darkened again. He knew that Li Yang was participating, but he didn't expect that Li Yang would use this top-quality raw material to compete.
After a while, he raised his head again, looked at Li Yang, and said slowly: "Junior brother, don't be angry if I say something that shouldn't be said. I know that you have the level of a master, but I want to be like this
It is not easy to achieve good results in the masters competition. I think Master Chen’s biggest purpose is to let his juniors come and feel the atmosphere!"
Huang Hao didn't say the following words, but the meaning was already obvious.
What he meant was that Li Yang just came to feel the atmosphere and didn't think about getting ranked. It would be a waste to use such raw materials.
Li Yang smiled and shook his head: "Brother, I don't agree with what you said. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. I also want to get a good rank. Maybe I will give you an accident this time!"
"Junior brother..."
"Senior brother, since you call me junior brother, don't make it difficult for me on this matter. However, I still have a piece of red jade with gold threads. If you are willing, I can give it to you!"
Li Yang interrupted Huang Hao. He didn't want to reveal his strength, so he could only stop talking.
"Golden silk and red jade, can I think about it?"
Huang Hao looked at Li Yang disappointedly, and after a while he gently shook his head.
He knew about the gold-threaded red jadeite in Li Yang's hand. Unfortunately, this piece of gold-threaded red jadeite was only of ice type, not glass type. Huang Hao took a fancy to Li Yang's black and white and impermanent. The big reason was that it was of glass quality.
.
It was a little bit close, but the result was a big loss. If Li Yang's golden red jadeite was a glass species, Huang Hao would have made such a request without Li Yang himself having to say it.
"Okay, senior brother, I'll leave first, Mr. Chen is still waiting for me!"
Li Yang stood up. This time he could only disappoint Huang Hao. Black and White Impermanence was indeed the raw material he had prepared this time, and he could not let it go.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Although Huang Hao was disappointed, his mood did not change much. After all, he was almost twice as old as Li Yang, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
Without the black and white impermanence, it can only be said that he cannot take advantage of it. However, this raw material is used by Li Yang, and others will not have it. The glass blood beauty in his hand has an excellent effect.
This raw material was obtained with great difficulty by him.
Moreover, he also had experience carving snow beauties out of glass. Li Yang’s first snow beauty out of glass was the finished product that he helped carve out.
"Okay, please, senior brother!" Li Yang did not refuse. Mr. Chen and Mr. Hong had been arguing for a lifetime, but their relationship was very good.
The two of them are almost like real brothers and don't need to be so polite.
"Junior brother, there are quite a few people here at once, and there are many experts. You came a little late. Although Mr. Chen has taught you, I hope you can come to the hotel more and walk around when you have time. I have learned a lot these days!
"
When he walked out of the elevator with Li Yang and came to the hotel lobby, Huang Hao was still talking to Li Yang. What he said was also kind advice. Communicate with colleagues, especially experts. Everyone will have different opinions.
reward.
This kind of gain cannot be taught by a master, it is everyone's experience.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will come over when I have time!"
Li Yang nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice came from behind: "Mr. Li, you are here too!"
"Zhou Ye!"
Li Yang turned around and looked at the people behind him in surprise. Huang Hao beside him also turned around, but his brows furrowed.
"I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here. Uncle, this is the Li Yang who I told you to rescue me!"
Zhou Ye seemed very excited and happy. He pointed at Li Yang and said to the people around him. From his words, he could feel his respect for Li Yang.
Zhou Ye made a lot of imitations, but these were all acts under duress. After Mr. He finished handling the organization's case, he released Zhou Ye.
However, he also told Zhou Ye to use his abilities on the right path and not to go astray again.
The old man still admires Zhou Ye's talent.
In fact, there is no need for the old man to tell Zhou Ye that he will not think of wrong ideas. He has already suffered losses, and it was still a big loss. He has learned enough lessons and will never do the wrong thing again.
After Zhou Ye returned to Suzhou, he started making his own jade carvings with peace of mind. What he made was no longer an imitation.
Zhou Ye himself already has extremely high strength. He has reached the level of a top master after breaking through and then standing up. In addition, he has been making high imitations in the past few years, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Not long after returning home, Zhou Ye's reputation
Just call it out again.
Many jewelry companies have come to look for him, and now Zhou Ye's work arrangements have to be booked one or two months in advance.
Some jewelry companies also invited him to visit, including large companies such as Anshi and Shaw Brothers, but he rejected them all. After experiencing imprisonment, he yearned for freedom the most and was unwilling to work for others anymore.
"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Zhou Shilong, and Xiaoye has been talking about you. We have gone to Beijing several times to say thank you, but we just haven't seen you!"
There was a man in his fifties next to Zhou Ye. He was slightly startled after hearing Zhou Ye's words. He immediately came over and held Li Yang's hand, looking a little excited.
Zhou Ye also nodded. He did go to Beijing to find Li Yang to express his gratitude.
Unfortunately, Li Yang was busy working on the museum at that time, so he failed several times.
"Mr. Zhou is too polite, Zhou Ye, why are you here?"
Li Yang smiled and shook his head, and looked at Zhou Ye again. This time it was the National Jade Carving Masters Competition, and Zhou Ye was also a jade carving master. Meeting him here, Li Yang had some premonitions.
Zhou Ye looked a little shy, smiled and said: "I'm here to participate in the competition!"
This time, Zhou Ye was indeed one of the masters participating in the competition. He had only returned to China not long ago, but his reputation had already spread. After hearing about this competition, he signed up.
The Jade Association thought about it for a long time and asked the old man specifically.
Although Zhou Ye has done high imitation, it was a last resort and it was a mistake in the past. Now he has corrected his mistakes and is indeed at a very high level. Such a person should give him a chance.
With the old man’s instructions, the Jade Association immediately approved Zhou Ye’s qualification.
"Participate in the competition, okay, I'm here to compete this time too, we can compete!"
Li Yang said with a smile. He was not surprised by Zhou Ye's answer. He had already guessed it just now.
Zhou Ye's eyes lit up: "It would be really great if you also participated, but I definitely can't beat you!"
"Haha, don't be too modest. I know your strength very well. I have something to do now, so I have to go out first. Let's have a good chat later!"
Li Yang laughed loudly. Seeing that Li Yang was about to go out, Zhou Ye couldn't stop him. After saying a few polite words, he returned to the hotel with the people around him.
When Li Yang was talking to Zhou Ye, Huang Hao didn't say a word, just frowned.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ye is also representing Suzhou this time, but the jade carving masters in Suzhou do not approve of him and think he is a stain. The Suzhou Jade Association originally opposed Zhou Ye's participation.
In the end, if it hadn't been for the consent of the Jade Association headquarters, Zhou Ye would never have been able to come here.
Huang Hao didn't say these words to Li Yang. He just sent Li Yang out of the hotel and returned to the room. The game was coming soon and he had to make other preparations.
After leaving the hotel, Li Yang took a taxi directly to Chen Wuji's place.
Chen Wuji has been waiting for him in Jieyang for a few days. Taking advantage of these few days, Chen Wuji handled some matters in Jieyang. He is one of the judges of this national masters competition and a very important judge.
His opinions will have a great influence on the final judgment.
The door of Chen Wuji's house was not closed, and Chen Wuji was standing at the door waiting for Li Yang. Next to him stood Chen Zhenghua, and Li Yang got out of the taxi. Seeing this scene, he hurried over.
"master!"
"Haha, you're finally here. Come on, let's go in and talk!"
Chen Wuji was very happy to see Li Yang and directly took Li Yang into the living room, while Chen Zhenghua went to make tea. He was extremely convinced of Li Yang now.
At only twenty-seven years old, he has reached the advanced level of Tai Chi. Chen Zhenghua really doesn't know how Li Yang practices.
"Master, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
After sitting down, Li Yang scratched his head. He had made a phone call in Beijing before coming. Chen Wuji originally asked someone to pick him up, but Li Yang refused.
As a result, he didn't expect that the people from the Jade Association would be waiting for him at the airport, so he had to go through the motions first. As a result, it was naturally too late to arrive at Chen Wuji's place.
Chen Wuji smiled and shook his head, with a bit of doting in his eyes, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. You can rest for a while first, and I'll tell you some things to pay attention to in this competition later!"
Li Yang said: "I have already rested in the hotel. Master, if you have anything to say, please tell me now!"
Chen Wuji thought for a moment and nodded directly: "That's fine, the competition will officially start the day after tomorrow. Time is running out. There are some things you must remember clearly!"
"This competition is based on a elimination system. There will be three games, the first one the day after tomorrow, and one every day after that!"
After a pause, Chen Wuji continued: "The most important thing about jade carving is craftsmanship, but eyesight cannot be ignored. The first day of competition is eyesight. Different jade carving works will appear at that time, and everyone must write down their own comments.
, because the contestants are all masters, the display time of these jade carvings will be very short, so you have to concentrate and see clearly the advantages and disadvantages of each work!"
Chen Wuji spoke while Li Yang listened silently.
Li Yang has no problem with this. He has a special ability. As long as he is not playing it on a screen, he can see clearly any real object.
As for the length of the display, it doesn't matter. With his special ability, Li Yang can see all the good and bad qualities of an item at a glance.
If the display time is short, it will be beneficial to Li Yang.
Glancing at Li Yang, Chen Wuji said softly: "Ten jade carvings will be displayed at that time. You must be able to make correct judgments on eight or more works within a time period in order to advance!"
"Don't worry, I have no problem!"
Li Yang immediately raised his hand and spoke with strong confidence. Judging by his eyesight, Li Yang was really not afraid of anyone.
Chen Wuji smiled and nodded, and then said: "Okay, the competition on the second day will be sword skills. There will be different propositions. The official will provide raw materials, and we must meet the requirements of the propositions in a short time!"
"I'm afraid these propositions won't be simple, right?"
Li Yang asked with a smile. The contestants this time were all jade carving masters, and it was not an ordinary jade carving competition. It was strange that the proposition could be simple.
"It's not easy, but it's no problem for you!"
Chen Wuji knew Li Yang's strength very well. As long as Li Yang passed the first level, the second level would be absolutely no problem for him.
In fact, Chen Wuji knew the proposition of the second level, but he would not tell Li Yang. He wanted Li Yang to compete openly and openly, and would never help him cheat.
This is also Chen Wuji's principle of life.
Li Yang smiled and said: "As long as you always have faith in me, it's the third day!"
Chen Wuji said: "After passing the two levels, the competition on the third day is the real strength. Everyone uses the raw materials they brought to make a jade sculpture on the spot, and let the judges score it, and finally decide the ranking. This time
The three days of competition are the most critical!"
"I understand, the first two levels screen out some people with low strength, and in the end, the strong people fight directly with swords!"
"That's right. There are more than 100 people this time. It's impossible to let them all do jade carvings on the spot. This will make the judges tired and distract the audience's attention!"
Chen Wuji nodded, and Li Yang began to feel sad for the jade carving masters who were desperately looking for good materials.
Almost all the jade carving masters brought their own raw materials this time, but they didn't know that not many people actually used these raw materials to show off their skills, and many people might not be able to make it to the last level before being eliminated.
In the end, they could only go back with their own raw materials.
However, what Chen Wuji said makes sense. It is not realistic for so many jade carving masters to come together to compete in jade carving, and some people need to be eliminated.
"Master, after two days of elimination, how many people are left in the end?"
Li Yang asked again. He understood that this competition was not as simple as imagined, but there was not much pressure. He believed in his own strength.
"In the end, there should be less than twenty people left!"
"The elimination rate is more than 80%, which is not low!"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be so few people left at the end. He thought that half of the people would be able to stay at the end. This is the Masters Tournament after all. Everyone participating in the competition has famous people from all over the world.
Grandmaster.
"The principle this time is to strive for excellence. There may be fewer people, but we all believe that there are a few people who will definitely be able to persist until the last day. These people are also your biggest opponents!"
Chen Wuji spoke slowly, and he also took out a document bag. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Before Li Yang came, he had already paid attention to all the jade carving masters participating in the competition and compiled some ideas for Li Yang.
I got a piece of opponent information.
…………
Two-in-one, it’s a bit late, but luckily I have nothing to do this morning and can sleep in!
