The competition continued, Qi Laobu reviewed the ten works that Zonggu had been promoted to, and the fifteen works that were to be promoted were also pushed out at once. The other two judges made brief comments, and then the audience made their selections.
There are fifteen pieces, and the audience will select five pieces to advance directly.
This time, the local jade carving masters in Jieyang did take advantage. Two of the five works selected by the audience belonged to them, which made the other participating masters very helpless.
This is the advantage of the geographical location. They can only hope that the Masters Tournament will be held in their place in the future. Since they have the advantage of the geographical location, they can use the audience voting to add a few more places to enter the finals.
At 12:10 noon, the second day's game was completely over and everyone began to leave. This day also determined the candidates for the third day, which was the last day of the game.
From the 106 people at the beginning to the final 15 people entering the finals, it can be said that the elimination rate is very high. This Masters Tournament has truly achieved its purpose of striving for excellence.
It is not easy for everyone among the fifteen people who have advanced. The level of this masters competition has surpassed all the jade carving activities in the past. It can be said that it is not easy to achieve results in such a masters competition.
It can also be said that no one knows what the result of the last day's game will be, and no one knows who will win the championship in the end.
Those who have been eliminated will not be discouraged.
They have already seen that this masters competition is destined to be famous and will become a classic in jade carving activities in the future.
Four top masters appeared at one time, and one genius whose level was not clear at all. It will be difficult for such an event to happen in the future. Even if it has an influence, it cannot surpass this one.
There is no competition where four new top masters can emerge at once.
For many people, just being able to participate in such a competition is a good and high-quality competition. Being able to participate in it is an honor in itself, so many of those who have been eliminated will relax and they don’t have to participate in the competition.
, but you can relax and enjoy tomorrow's final.
"Mr. Chen, congratulations!"
When leaving, several judges came to congratulate Chen Wuji. This time Jieyang is the biggest winner in the Jade Sculpture Masters Competition.
Four of the fifteen masters who participated in the finals were from Jieyang. Except for Li Yang and Luo Ruihua, who were directly promoted, the other two were selected by the audience and were lucky enough to be shortlisted.
Four people accounted for more than a quarter of the total, which was the largest number of people in all regions.
"Haha, you are not bad either. Let them use all their efforts tomorrow to strive for that good ranking!"
Chen Wuji laughed. Jieyang, as the host, did not disgrace the host this time. No matter how the four quotas were generated, the people of Jieyang have been given an explanation.
Chen Wuji, the great master and the spiritual leader of Jieyang, also added a lot of luster to his face.
Mr. Hong smiled and nodded. He congratulated Chen Wuji, but there was no jealousy in his heart. Suzhou's performance this time was not bad, and he defended the dignity of the old jade carving city.
Apart from Jieyang, Suzhou has the largest number of people who have advanced. Suzhou has Huang Hao, Wei Ye and another jade carving master who advanced through audience selection, a total of three people.
This number can also show the level of jade carving in Jieyang and Suzhou. Fifteen people have advanced, and the two places account for almost half. This result can be attributed to their usual Twin Cities Masters Tournament.
This also made many jade carving masters and people from jade associations in other places come up with some other ideas.
It is not easy to hold such a large-scale national jade carving masters competition every year. It may only happen once every two years, or three or four years. However, there is no problem in their various similar regions holding small masters competitions every year.
.
Holding those small masters competitions can not only increase exchanges between the two places, but also promote common progress. I believe that holding them more often can make the jade carving levels of the two places improve together.
If the number of people is not enough, they can also hold it in three or four places. In short, as long as it is beneficial, they can do it.
The game is over, the reporters are rushing back to write articles, while the audience is leaving the venue talking, walking in small groups, and speculating on who the winner of tomorrow's final will be.
The final is the most exciting part of this masters competition. There is a whole day in the final. During this day, there is no limit to performance. Everyone brings their own raw materials and uses their best method to make a real masterpiece.
.
Things made with such freedom are the most ornamental.
Regardless of whether they understand jade carving or not, many people are looking forward to tomorrow's game. This is also due to the excitement of the previous games. Even people who do not understand jade carving can watch it with gusto.
"Brother Li, phone!"
As soon as Li Yang got into his car, Zhao Kui handed over his mobile phone. During the game, Li Yang's mobile phone and other things were in Zhao Kui's hands.
"An Wenjun!"
Picking up the phone, Li Yang checked it first, with a bit of surprise on his face.
He and An Wenjun hadn't seen each other for several months. Li Yang also knew that An Wenjun had gone to Beijing to look for him, but at that time he was too busy with the museum and had never met him.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang shook his head and smiled, and then answered the phone.
He is now in Jieyang, which is not far from Guangzhou. Besides, the Jade Carving Master Competition has been reported by Pingzhou Jade Newspaper. An family must have heard of it, so it is not surprising that An Wenjun called him.
"Hello, Minister An!"
"Congratulations to Consultant Li, he ranked first both days!"
An Wenjun's clear laughter came from the other side of the phone. Li Yang was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, An Wenjun's voice rang again: "Consultant Li, I don't know if I have time. Can I treat you to a meal?"
A meal?”
"Invite me to dinner. Are you in Jieyang now?"
Li Yang immediately realized that An Wenjun must be here, otherwise he would not have known about today's results so early. Those jewelry and jade newspapers had not broadcast today's news so quickly.
Li Yang immediately laughed: "Minister An is too polite. If you want to be invited, I will be the one to do it. I am half a landlord in Jieyang. Minister An, where are you now?"
An Wenjun did not argue with Li Yang about who was treating the guests, and immediately told her where she was. In fact, she and Li Yang were not far apart. Li Yang was in the parking lot, and she was standing at the gate of the stadium.
For her, meeting Li Yang is the biggest goal.
In the past year, especially in the past six months, competition in the jade market has become increasingly fierce, and the procurement of raw materials is now much more difficult than before.
Mineral veins in Myanmar are becoming more and more tense. Last year's public sale sold a lot of inventory of the five major families in Myanmar. Now the Thornton family is in a better position because they have super large mineral veins.
Although General Kuba and the others are not at the end of their rope, their lives are getting worse and worse. An Wenjun heard that they invited the Jade King to gamble in the mines again. He didn't know if the Jade King was old or retired.
He had some time, and the results of his old man's gambling were not good.
Although they didn't lose much, their earnings were limited and not enough to support their large families.
As a result, the Thornton family, which owns super-large mineral veins, has more and more say. Especially in recent months, jade buyers from all over the country have almost all contacted the Thornton family and purchased their jade directly.
rough stone.
The same goes for Anshi Jewelry.
The relationship between the An family and the Thornton family is pretty good, and they have always taken care of them in terms of procurement. However, the Thornton family can't take care of them much even if they want to, and they don't have unlimited supply, except for takeout.
In addition, they themselves are also reading
Therefore, in the past six months, Anshi has been facing the dilemma of fewer and fewer raw materials and is in urgent need of more sources of raw materials.
Only with more raw materials can we earn more money. Now that there are not enough raw materials, An can only watch the money he is about to receive leave his hands. The senior executives finally understand the importance of Li Yang.
It's a pity that I understood it a little late. At this time, it is much more difficult to win over Li Yang than before.
An Wenjun understands this, but she never gives up. She will work hard whenever she has the opportunity. This is why she contacted Li Yang immediately after the competition.
The stadium gate was not far from the parking lot. Within a few minutes, Li Yang saw An Wenjun and Zhang Ying waiting on the roadside.
"Minister An, Manager Zhang!"
Li Yang rolled down the window and waved to the two of them, with a bright smile on his face.
He didn't expect Zhang Ying to be here. Seeing Zhang Ying reminded him of the days when he worked at An's Jewelry. At that time, Li Yang valued the job of An's Jewelry very much.
At that time, he never thought that such a day would come to him.
An Wenjun and Zhang Ying got in the car, and Zhao Kui drove away directly. There were many students at the entrance of the stadium. If they saw Li Yang, they might not be able to leave even if they wanted to.
Li Yang experienced the madness of these student fans when he was in Macau.
"Minister An, when did you arrive in Jieyang?"
Li Yang smiled and asked, the car he was driving was a commercial vehicle from the Jade Factory, and it would be no problem for them to sit there.
"I just arrived today, Consultant Li. You came to Guangdong without saying a word. Shouldn't you be punished?"
An Wenjun said with a smile, Zhang Ying also hurriedly helped: "Even if Consultant Li didn't say hello when he arrived in Guangdong, we still knew about your arrival from the newspaper!"
"Sorry, I came here in a hurry this time. I just came to participate in the competition. I accept the penalty. I will punish myself with three cups in a while!"
Li Yang waved his hands repeatedly, and Zhang Ying smiled and said a few more words. He was very aware of Li Yang's drinking capacity.
Zhao Kui drove the car and arrived at Jieyang Hotel soon. In the car, Li Yang contacted Chen Wuji first and told Mr. Chen that he was with friends and would not go back for lunch. At the same time, he called Ma Juntao.
Ask him to help book a room.
Nowadays, Ma Juntao and Shen Zhengde have a very good relationship. Li Yang and his brilliant jade factory are so popular in Jieyang. Shen Zhengde has helped a lot. If there is any business, Ma Juntao also chooses Shen Zhengde's industry, Jieyang Grand Hotel is
It’s very easy to book a room at their designated hotel. (To be continued
