Li Yang's speed was so fast that he had already rushed inside before anyone else could react. By the time others reacted and started jumping into the competition venue, Li Yang had already found the carving master he had fancied before.
I bought the jade carving he had just carved for three hundred yuan.
"Unfair, illegal, someone violated the rules!"
A member of the Jade Association who was interested in the same carver as Li Yang immediately yelled. In fact, the real bidding had to wait until the host announced it. It was the first time for Li Yang to participate in this event, and he just wanted to rush in, but
I don’t know that I’m a step ahead of the curve. It’s okay to break the rules, but there are never any rules for this kind of thing. It’s just an activity to add to the fun. There are not so many strict rules.
So at this time, no one cared about this man's shouting. A dozen carving masters were already crowded with people, and several others had already ordered their works. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty carving masters had completed the work.
After completing the transaction, even if someone protested, they would not ask.
Several people on the rostrum began to whisper to each other, and members of jade associations from various places in the audience also talked about it. Generally, the people with bidding quotas are old people from all over the country. It is definitely the first time for someone like Li Yang to participate in this opportunity.
There are very few people, and even fewer people like Li Yang who ran up without knowing much about the process, so this is why such a joke happened.
Amid the discussion among the crowd and the protests of many people who failed to bid for the jade carving they wanted, Sima Lin quietly walked towards the podium. Sima Lin understood that if he didn't come forward, he didn't know how these old guys would take advantage of such a small opportunity.
Putting on official airs
Things went as Sima Lin expected. After discussion, several leaders of the Jade Association wanted to disqualify Li Yang and keep the others as they were. Everyone already knew whose jade carvings were the most popular. If they started over, it would definitely be a mess.
It's better to keep it as it is. Anyway, the ultimate purpose of this event is to judge who is the best carver. It doesn't matter who gets these jade carvings.
No one knew what Sima Lin said to these people. Several leaders of the Jade Association were stunned at first, and then looked at Sima Lin in surprise. Then several people briefly discussed it, and finally a white-haired man
The old man publicly announced the results of the bidding.
"Is this young man very motivated?"
The old man's first words made everyone burst into laughter. Sima Lin chuckled, shook his head and left quietly. This sentence let him know that Li Yang would not be in trouble.
"Being motivated is a good thing, and it is in line with our purpose of creating such an event. Although there was something wrong just now, we have learned that this young man participated in our event for the first time. In the spirit of communication first, competition second
In principle, we will not hold you responsible, young man, but you must pay attention to it in the future!"
After the old man finished speaking, he sat down. Except for the two people who also liked the jade carving chosen by Li Yang and protested, everyone else just laughed. As the old man said, communication comes first, competition comes second.
, no matter how big or small things like this are handled, many people won't care, but this episode only made everyone more laughable.
Li Yang's name began to spread rapidly among colleagues in other cities. Even Li Yang himself did not expect that his first appearance in this event would be like this. After that, Li Yang complained about Zhang Wei for a while.
Failure to explain clearly seriously damaged his tall image.
Li Yang's matter was just a small episode. The works of fifty master carvers were temporarily collected. Only after the competition in the afternoon could the bidders take away the works. Of course, the one who can take away the best work is the most proud. This
Although luck is important in the game, there is also an element of discernment.
The crowd slowly dispersed at noon, and the afternoon event would not be held until after two o'clock. When the members of the Mingyang Jade Association went to the restaurant to eat, many people teased Li Yang about what had just happened.
When they arrived at the hotel, people in other places were also pointing fingers at Li Yang. Li Yang's appearance in the morning made everyone aware of this young man. Gradually, Li Yang's previous achievements also began to spread. As a result, they naturally paid attention to Li Yang's colleagues.
More and more, even some people who are not members of the Jade Association began to inquire about Li Yang.
"Mr. Zhang, you didn't make it clear that you have to wait until the host announces the start of the bidding. I've suffered a lot from you!"
Sitting at the dinner table, Li Yang's sad face made everyone laugh again. Zhang Wei was also a little embarrassed. People who had done this before knew that he ignored Li Yang and forgot to tell him the first time he participated, resulting in such a scene.
Here comes a big joke.
Not to mention Zhang Wei, Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida also forgot to remind Li Yang. However, looking at the embarrassed Li Yang, everyone felt extremely happy. Li Yang's good luck has always made everyone jealous.
A little harmless joke can also help everyone feel more mentally balanced.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I will make up for it later!"
Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, saying it is not easy to be the president. Everyone will blame him for unfair distribution. If something goes wrong, he must be the first to take responsibility.
"Forget it, I won't go to the competition in the afternoon. Brother Sima, just take a look at the final ranking of the one I chose, and then bring me the things!"
Li Yang held his face with his hands and looked worried, and everyone laughed again.
Sima Lin laughed and coughed a little. While coughing, he said to Li Yang: "You kid can't even survive such a small scene. Is your mental endurance so poor? I don't think this is like you?"
"Hey, I'd better go that afternoon, just think of it as becoming famous. It's hard for some people to become famous!"
Being provoked by Sima Lin, Li Yang was embarrassed and couldn't say anything anymore, but his look as if he was going to the battlefield for righteousness made everyone laugh again.
One thing Li Yang didn't know was that he was really famous. While they were having dinner, someone posted a photo of Li Yang who was the first to rush into the jade carving competition venue to the Nanyang forum. Now many Nanyang netizens are discussing it enthusiastically.
After lunch, we returned to the hotel and rested for a while. It was almost time for the afternoon competition. Li Yang and his group walked slowly towards the square. Along the way, people looked at Li Yang and pointed at them from time to time. Every time there was a jade carving competition
The scene of many people bidding for the competition works after the event is what everyone likes to see. This time Li Yang took the lead and stood out from the crowd, which left a deep impression on many people.
There were more people in the square in the afternoon than in the morning. The open space in the middle that was originally used for the jade carving competition has been turned into a booth. All the fifty works carved in the morning were placed there and numbered. The top three works in this competition will be
Experts will provide professional reviews, and the fourth to seventh works will also have rankings and certificates, but those after that will not.
After two o'clock, all the people on the rostrum came back. Many people in the audience were waiting with their necks cocked to see which work would win the championship. Some people even opened a small handicap below to bet.
If you win, you can still make a small fortune.
The fifty master carvers all changed their clothes and sat quietly aside. For them, the result of this competition was the most important. If they won the first place, their reputation and living conditions would be greatly improved.
After the host gave a brief speech, the review experts finally slowly stood in the center of the podium. There is nothing tricky about this kind of activity, so the evaluation is still very fair. Some experts from the country and the province have come, and they are impartial.
made a true evaluation of all the works.
"It has smooth knife lines, orderly turns, and the carved objects are lifelike, with a unique charm..."
The expert did not take the manuscript and slowly began to comment on a piece of jade. The expert did not say what number it was. Everyone was guessing, especially the master carvers and those who bid for the competition works. They all hoped that what the expert was talking about was the same.
their stuff.
"This is No. 39, the Dushan jade carving 'Guanyin Avalokitesvara'!"
With the expectations of many people, the expert finally said which work he was reviewing. Li Yang was slightly stunned. Number 39 was good, but it was not the one he chose. Could it be that his special ability
He may have made a mistake, or the rules of these expert comments are different from what he thought.
"Congratulations to No. 39 for winning the third place in this competition!"
The expert finally said loudly. The master carver of No. 39 and the person who bought the work were walking towards the rostrum with smiles. The expert's words made both of them pause, although they still smiled and walked up to the rostrum.
, but the smile was obviously not as thick as before. The third place is good, but it is not as good as the championship. They all thought they had won the championship before, but in the end they found out that they had been fooled by the experts.
Many master carvers were also stunned for a moment, and then they all sat up straight. In the past, they would judge the champion first, but this year the expert actually judged the third runner-up first. It would be fine if he was the third runner-up, which proved that each of them still had a chance.
"The following piece of work amazes each of us..."
The experts began to comment on the second work. This time, everyone knew that this work would be the runner-up today. Sure enough, in the end, the experts did not hesitate and directly announced the number of the runner-up. The engraving master who won the runner-up and the buyer of the work happily went to the chair.
In Taiwan, it’s not bad to win second place, at least they don’t have the psychological ups and downs.
"The following is the most important work today, which conquered all our experts..."
The experts spent more than ten minutes commenting on the champion, and finally waved their hands towards the display stand and mentioned the champion's number: "The champion is, No. 17!"
Number 17 was the champion. One of the carving masters immediately stood up with an excited smile on his face. Others looked at him jealously. Their carving skills were all about the same.
It is simply impossible to convince him. Performance on the spot is also an important factor. I can only say that this championship has better luck.
Li Yang was also stunned for a moment, and then he walked up to the rostrum with a big smile. Li Yang stood on the rostrum with the champion, and everyone below was also stunned. Li Yang gave everyone such a deep impression in the morning that no one
Considering that this work that was rated as "very dynamic" actually won the championship, it seems that being the fastest is not all a bad thing.
"Whoosh!"
Warm applause suddenly broke out from below. Li Yang's winning work made them feel even more interesting. Li Yang's light standing on the stage overshadowed the carving master who won the championship.
