"Brother Li!" Two more people came over to greet Li Yang at the airport pick-up gate.
These two people were Zhao Kui and Haidong. They came to Guangzhou immediately after transporting the things back to Beijing. They arrived one day earlier than Li Yang. They came with the two pieces of top-quality jadeite.
Since I want to ask Chen Wuji for help, I must bring jade. If I don’t have anything, I will let others carve it.
"You are here too!"
Li Yang smiled slightly, Zhao Kui and Haidong nodded, and stood beside Li Yang. They came to Guangzhou in advance and rented a car to facilitate Li Yang's travel these days, but with Manager Zhang here, this
The car Li Yang can no longer use for the time being.
"Manager Zhang, since Mr. Chen is waiting for us, let's go and don't let him wait too long!"
Li Yang turned back and said something to the fat manager Zhang. Manager Zhang nodded hurriedly. He drove a luxury Mercedes-Benz. Li Yang, Zhang Wei and Liu Gang all got in his car. Zhao Kui and Haidong
He was following behind in a Buick Business.
Chen's hometown lives in Jieyang, not in Pingzhou. Last time he just took advantage of the public sale in Pingzhou to join in the fun.
Jieyang is also a famous jade processing base in China. Jieyang Yangmei Street is known as the Jade Capital of China. It is home to many southern jade carving masters in China. Among these jade carving masters, the most famous one is Chen Wuji.
The distance from Guangzhou to Jieyang is not close, it is more than 400 kilometers. Manager Zhang was afraid that Mr. Chen would wait for a long time and drove slowly on the road. By the time he arrived in Jieyang, it was already evening.
Manager Zhang was no stranger to the topography of Jieyang, so he drove straight to a luxurious villa area and finally stopped in front of a very nice villa.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, we are here!"
After parking the car, Manager Zhang turned around and smiled. Li Yang and Zhang Wei looked at each other and got out of the car together.
Zhao Kui and Haidong also parked their cars. Zhao Kui handed the lockbox containing two top-quality jadeite pieces to Liu Gang. They did not follow him in. It was enough for Liu Gang to follow him. If anything happened, they could provide quick support.
But nothing would happen in a place like this.
Chen Lao's villa is smaller than Li Yang's in Beijing, and not as good as the one in Mingyang, but it is already very good here. The housing prices in Jieyang are not low, and the value of such a villa is also
More than ten million.
"You are here!"
As soon as a few people walked to the door, the door opened by itself. Mr. Chen Wuji, whom Li Yang had seen last time in Pingzhou, was standing at the door wearing a Tang suit, looking at them with a smile.
Mr. Chen is quite old. Among the four most famous top jade carving masters in China, Mr. Chen is the second oldest. Only Mr. Hong from Suzhou is older than him.
Because Mr. Chen has been practicing Tai Chi Kung Fu for many years, although he is older, he is the healthiest among the four masters. Originally, he had no problem doing it for more than ten years, but unfortunately, his peers gradually retired.
Coupled with the persuasion of his family, he was able to completely let go and retire at home to enjoy his retirement with peace of mind.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Seeing Chen Wuji's strong body, Li Yang hurriedly stepped forward, with surprise in his eyes.
As if he knew how to calculate, Mr. Chen actually opened the door on time and stood waiting for them at the door. Not only Li Yang felt this way, but Zhang Wei and Liu Gang also felt it.
"Haha, I have surveillance here. I happened to see you guys coming, so I came out to pick you up!"
Mr. Chen seemed to know what they were thinking, so he laughed and explained it first. Li Yang and Zhang Wei looked stunned and followed Mr. Chen inside.
This villa is not small. It has three floors in the main body and a small yard. The first floor has a hall of about 100 square meters. Fresh fruits are placed on the sofa in the hall. There is no one else here except Mr. Chen.
people.
"sit!"
Mr. Chen walked directly to the sofa, pointed at the wooden sofa, said something, and sat down first.
Li Yang took a careful look at the sofa, and finally nodded and sat down slowly. Mr. Chen's sofa is made of fine Hainan huanghuali wood. The value of this sofa is over one million.
Li Yang was very emotional about this, but not surprised. Many masters in the jade industry are very rich. He himself is a typical example. He has made more than one billion by gambling on stones. He can buy a good house and some good products.
There is no problem with the furniture at all.
Old man Chen Wuji does not gamble with stones, but he is a top jade carving master, and the craftsmanship fee starts at least seven figures. Naturally, he will not be short of money, and buying such furniture is just a trivial matter.
"Xiao Li, you just won the old horse in Myanmar, why are you here again?"
After sitting down, old man Chen Wuji asked first, with a strange smile on his face.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that the old horse mentioned by Mr. Chen was the Jade King. It seemed that the Jade King and Mr. Chen had known each other for a long time and seemed to have a good relationship.
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Yang felt relieved. Both Jade King and Chen Wuji were well-known masters in the jade world. It was not surprising that they knew each other, especially since their age difference was not too big.
There are not many people who can reach their level. It would be strange to say that they don't know each other.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang said slowly: "Mr. Chen, actually I am looking for you this time because I have something to ask you for help?"
When things came to a close, Li Yang felt like he didn't know how to speak. After all, Mr. Chen had been sealed off for many years, so he rashly asked Mr. Chen to come out. Li Yang didn't know what reason to use.
"Ask me for help. Can you tell me what it is? I'm an old man and have retired a long time ago. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Mr. Chen laughed heartily, with a look of humor flashing in his eyes. Li Yang, who was thinking about the reason, didn't notice it, but the fat manager Zhang saw it and glanced at Chen Wuji in surprise.
.
"You are not old. You will have no problem living to be over a hundred years old. You will know the purpose of my visit this time just by looking at what I brought!"
Li Yang hurriedly said something, but in the end he decided to tell the truth and let Chen Wuji see the two top-quality jadeite raw materials before he expressed his thoughts.
"Something, what is it? Bring it to me and see!"
Mr. Chen's smile became even brighter, and Liu Gang hurriedly took the password box in his hand. He knew the password, and after a few gentle clicks, the box opened.
The light in Mr. Chen's living room was very bright. As soon as the box was opened, a noble and elegant yellow color and a bright purple color with a strong charm were reflected. Zhang Wei and the fat manager Zhang immediately stood there.
He looked stupidly at the two pieces of jade inside the box.
They had all heard that Li Yang had gambled away two pieces of top-quality jadeite in Myanmar, but hearing was just hearing, which was different from seeing it. When they saw these two beautiful pieces of top-quality jadeite, both of them were very excited.
Somewhat absent-minded.
Both of them have seen top-quality jadeite materials, but they have never seen two pieces of the same top-quality jadeite materials put together. One piece and two pieces give people very different feelings. One plus one does not equal two.
In particular, the two pieces are of different colors, and the nobility and gorgeousness are mixed together, which makes people feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
A glimmer of light flashed in Mr. Chen's eyes. After a few glances, Mr. Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Xiao Li, what do you mean by bringing these two pieces of jade? You should know that it has been six years since I sealed the sword.
Too much!"
"No, you didn't seal the knife. You just sealed the knife in your hand, but you didn't seal it in your heart!"
Hearing Chen Wuji's intention to refuse, Li Yang hurriedly said again, he couldn't wait for Chen Wuji to say it to death, otherwise he would really have no chance.
The smile on Mr. Chen's face became even brighter. He looked at Li Yang with a smile and asked again: "Oh, why did you say that!"
"Of course I have a reason for saying this. Do you still remember the emerald sweet potato?" Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Chen just gave him a chance to say something.
"Keep talking!" Mr. Chen smiled and nodded.
"After the carving of your jade sweet potato was completed, you didn't sign it for six years. It was not because you didn't find the right person, but because you were reluctant to part with it. After all, the jade carving was your lifelong work, and it has long since become your
If you deliberately keep a relationship that you can't let go without paying it, you are actually telling yourself that you still have work to do!"
Li Yang said very carefully. He had this feeling a long time ago when he bought the jade sweet potato. This was also one of the reasons why he came to Chen Wuji in the first place. Among the four top masters, perhaps
Only Chen Wuji didn't really let go.
Mr. Chen looked straight at Li Yang and suddenly laughed and nodded. Li Yang and Zhang Wei both looked up at Mr. Chen in astonishment.
"You are right. This was the reason why I didn't sign the payment at the beginning, but now that I have signed the payment, it means I have let it all go. Now that I have put it down, there is no reason to pick it up again!" Chen Wuji laughed.
He said.
Li Yang showed a little anxiety on his face. Just when he was about to speak, Mr. Chen suddenly waved his hand and continued: "But these two pieces of jade are very good, and I was very moved when I saw them. It would be a pity to give up. If you can
Promise me a condition, and I will go out again to help you with this job!"
Li Yang suddenly froze there. He was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't expect things to change so quickly. Before he could think of a countermeasure, Mr. Chen was actually willing to come out again.
"Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!" Li Yang took a breath quietly, suppressed his excitement, and asked in a low voice.
Mr. Chen pointed at the two pieces of jade and said slowly: "You can definitely do it. I can help you make these two pieces of jade into your favorite things. You just need to promise me and follow me to learn jade carving."
!”
As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, Li Yang, Zhang Wei and the fat Mr. Zhang all stood there blankly. Li Yang never expected that Mr. Chen would make such a request.
The fat manager Zhang also didn’t expect that there were countless people who wanted to study jade carving under Mr. Chen but failed. Some people once even paid high tuition fees just to follow Mr. Chen for three years.
Time, this request was rejected by Mr. Chen.
Now Mr. Chen actually asked Li Yang to learn jade carving from him. If Manager Zhang were not familiar with Mr. Chen, he would even doubt whether the old man sitting in front of him was Mr. Chen himself.
