Chen Wuji stood up and looked around with satisfaction.
The atmosphere today was good, and it even infected a few of them old guys. Mr. Qi was secretly saying just now that if he were twenty years younger, he would go down there and compete with these rising stars.
Of course, this can only be said. If Mr. Qi, who has been a swordsman for many years, really comes out again, he may not be able to compare with his son Qi Haiyang.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and Mr. Qi is very satisfied to have his son to inherit.
The same is true for Mr. Hong. Huang Hao, his most proud disciple, did not let him down and finally reached his most glorious level. Mr. Hong has no regrets about having such a disciple to inherit his career.
Chen Wuji was more open-minded about this. He had very few apprentices, but one Li Yang was enough to cover them all.
Chen Wuji knows Li Yang's potential best. He believes that Li Yang will not let him down. The master and apprentice will definitely become a legend in the jade carving industry forever.
"Today is the last day of competition. There are no restrictions for today's competition. From now on until five o'clock in the afternoon, all participating masters only need to use their own materials to make a work of their choice. In the end we will
Based on the ranking of all the works, the best one will be the champion of this masters competition. In addition to the 500,000 yuan bonus, there will also be a letter of appointment from the Zhongbao Association and a special trophy made by me!"
Chen Wuji's voice was loud and loud. As he spoke, a shelf slowly rose in front of the rostrum. In the middle of the shelf was a jade trophy. It was very large and weighed at least several kilograms. Next to it were two certificates.
One is a certificate of honor, and the other is a letter of appointment from the China Bao Association.
After listening to Chen Wuji's words and seeing the prizes on the podium, the eyes of many participating masters became hot.
No one would care about the five hundred thousand bonus. They are jade carving masters and have made jade articles worth millions. An Wenjun offered five hundred thousand for the jade knife that Li Yang made yesterday.
A high price of 10,000.
This bonus is just a lottery. Even if someone wins, I'm afraid they will donate it.
As for the consultants from the China Treasure Association, not many people care about them, but having them is better than nothing.
In any case, a consultant is not a director, it is just a title. However, with this consultant, his status in the jewelry industry will definitely be greatly improved in the future. It can be said that this reward is better than a bonus. For many jade carvers, this is a waste of money.
Good things you can't buy.
But for these jade carving masters, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and they don't care about this empty job.
What everyone is looking at is the trophy, which is the true symbol of honor. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The same is true in the jade carving industry. Everyone hopes to get the title of first and become a well-deserved one.
champion.
Not to mention, this trophy is the handiwork of master Chen Wuji. Even these jade carving masters are extremely eager to collect one of the master's works.
Even among these jade carving masters, only a few of them have works by Chen Wuji, and they are all works before Chen Wuji came out this time, that is, before he became a master. After becoming a master, Chen Wuji made very few things, so he
The works are even more precious.
Stimulated by the trophy, every participating master's eyes were burning. In comparison, the calmest one was the youngest Li Yang.
The judges on the stage were all paying attention to him. After all, he had experienced a big incident yesterday, and they wanted to see how he would perform today after his impact.
"Yes, what a great talent!"
Mr. Song nodded slightly, with some relief and some regret on his face.
Li Yang's performance can be said to be very satisfying, and it is better than expected. Unfortunately, such a person is not his apprentice. The fact that Li Yang can represent Beijing in the competition this time is purely the result of his hard work.
"Old Song, it's time to consider accepting a disciple, otherwise it will be too late!"
After hearing this, Mr. Hong beside him said something in a low voice. Mr. Song's face froze slightly, and then he showed a wry smile.
"Forget it, this is how it will be in this life. It's not so easy to accept a good disciple, and I don't want to do it anymore!"
Mr. Song shook his head as he spoke, his face still a little lonely. Mr. Hong sighed softly and stopped trying to persuade him.
In fact, these seniors of the older generation all know that Mr. Song does not have no disciples. He has accepted a disciple a long time ago. Unfortunately, this apprentice disappointed Mr. Song. He was even more extreme than Zhou Ye, who was just making imitations.
, sell it secretly.
It would be better for him to just set up a counterfeit processing workshop, teach what he learned, and bring a group of people to work together to make fakes. Not only that, he also used the banner of Mr. Song to do a lot on ancient jade appraisal.
He made money and was eventually caught.
This incident gave Mr. Song a big blow. From then on, he never accepted a disciple again. Speaking of which, these all happened in the early 1990s. They were not people who had a good relationship with Mr. Song.
No one knew this existed.
In the audience, the talking voice gradually became louder again.
There is no limit to today's competition. Everyone can use their own equipment to make a work that represents themselves. The only limit is time. One day is definitely not enough time to make large-scale ornaments, but some gadgets and trinkets are not available at all.
The problem is, it only took one hour yesterday, and the things everyone made were already very good and very representative.
A group of people came in one after another outside, each holding various things in their hands.
These are the tools and materials prepared by the jade carving masters before the competition. The jade carving masters have their own assistants or apprentices, so they do not need to bring these things into the competition venue with their own hands.
It was Zhao Kui who delivered the box to Li Yang. After putting the things away, Zhao Kui left the venue and stood far away.
"Smurf, that's Smurf!"
In the audience, several people suddenly shouted, causing a commotion around each speaker.
The big screen was pointed at Heng Kai. Heng Kai was the first to take out the raw materials from his box and open it. In his hand was a piece of top-quality Smurf jade raw material weighing more than three kilograms. This piece of Smurf raw material looked transparent and had no trace of it.
The impurities, but this piece of raw material, showed great charm, making many women at the venue widen their eyes.
What Hengkai uses are truly top-quality raw materials. Such materials themselves are worth a lot of points. Hengkai came prepared this time.
"This is the piece that Lao Ma solved five years ago. I didn't expect it to fall into his hands!"
Mr. Hong quietly said to Chen Wuji who was beside him, Mr. Hong had a good relationship with the Jade King, and he knew some of the high-level raw materials that the Jade King had unlocked.
"That's right, that's it. This Hengkai should have a good relationship with Lao Ma!"
Chen Wuji smiled and nodded. Five years ago in Kunming, the Jade King personally showed up to unpack a few pieces of raw material sold at public auctions, including this top-notch Smurf. At that time, many jade carving masters came to ask for help. Luo Ruihua from Jieyang
He also specifically asked Chen Wuji for help to see if he could buy this piece of material.
Everyone came forward, but the Jade King refused. No one expected that this piece of material would appear here now. This is enough to prove that the Jade King and Heng Kai do have a deep relationship.
"It's so yellow and so gorgeous, isn't it the Supreme Yellow?"
In the auditorium, there were bursts of noise, and the masters slowly took out the raw materials they used. All the raw materials have one thing in common, that is, they are refined and good.
Every piece of material is made of glass. Even the jade carving masters who had not prepared such good raw materials before took the opportunity to visit other eliminated masters yesterday and purchased the raw materials they prepared from them.
It can be said that the raw materials prepared by the jade carving masters for this competition are all top-notch and are the inventory accumulated over the past few years.
"Purple eyes, they are even more charming than the legend says!"
"It's not in vain, this time it's not in vain. It's worth it to see so many good materials!"
A few more people shouted excitedly. All five top-quality colors appeared, including three imperial greens. The competition level of this Masters has indeed reached a peak.
Such a large-scale competition has never been held before even Chen Wuji and his colleagues were at their most glorious.
Several judges looked at each other again and noticed the envy in each other's eyes. The jade carving industry has indeed developed faster and better than before. This masters competition was very successful, at least it was better than before.
few.
As for the future, they believe there will be better similar competitions to improve the overall level of jade carving across the country.
"What is that, black and white?"
"It's very beautiful. Is this also a type of glass? What kind of material is it made of? Why have I never seen it before?"
The big screen turned to Li Yang's hands. Seeing the piece of raw material Li Yang was holding in both hands, many people were stunned, and even more people were confused.
Green, blue, yellow, purple, and red are the colors of jade. Green is the most common. Although there are few others, they also appear frequently. It’s just shocking to see so many top-quality raw materials at one time.
As for black and white, some people have seen them, but there are very few people who have seen black and white together so perfectly.
Many people have never even heard of it.
"The impermanence of black and white is actually the impermanence of black and white!"
Some of the jade carving masters in the front row also had their eyes widened.
The raw materials used by Li Yang are not known to outsiders except Huang Hao and a few people. It can be said that the black and white impermanence is more rare than these top materials, especially the black and white impermanence of this type of glass.
If there is a better raw material than black and white, it is only dragon stone, which is a jade raw material that has long been extinct.
"The impermanence of black and white can be seen. The impermanence of black and white appears. This time it is not in vain!"
A jade carving master who was eliminated in the first round said something with emotion, and his words were recognized by several masters around him.
Many of them have never seen this kind of material before. To be able to see such raw materials once and see such raw materials being processed with their own eyes is already a great harvest for them.
