Following the man's exclamation, the people present finally lost their composure. These days, there are not many imperial green jade decorations. You know, jadeite is different from mutton-fat jade, especially this kind of top-quality jadeite.
As long as the carving is realistic, it can be sold for a sky-high price.
These jade ornaments from Jingcheng Jewelry are not only vividly carved, but also like living creatures. More importantly, they are rare imperial green.
In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted to the side of Jingcheng Jewelry. People commented and marveled at these three jade jewelry.
Zhou Yan was dumbfounded. He came from a background in jewelry. Of course he could tell that the jade ornaments Zhou Ming took out were far superior to his mutton-fat jade in terms of quality, material and carving.
.
But then he snorted coldly: "You guys are looking for machines to process it, right? Our jade is made by a serious carving master. The carving is extremely lifelike. Can the product of a machine be considered a jade ornament?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Yan as if he were an idiot to see if it was carved by a machine. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that everyone present was a master. It was immediately obvious that the jade on Jingcheng Jewelry was definitely carved by a master.
And it is very likely to be a certain master.
"Zhou Yan, do you want to be shameless? If you lose, you lose. Why don't you admit it? Our jade is carved by serious people." Zhou Ming sneered.
"So what if it's artificial? I don't believe that your jade is from a famous artist. Our jade is from the hands of Master Xie, yours? Haha, I think it was made by an artist on the street." Zhou
Said disdainfully.
"No, this knife skill and technique look familiar to me. Could it be... No, it's impossible. He has been using the knife for many years."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over in a hurry and said with a shocked expression.
"Master Xie, you are here, can you tell who carved this?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
This person is Xie Liyan, a master sculptor hired by the Zhou family with a lot of money. When he said this, Zhou Yan was a little annoyed. Looking at Xie Liyan's expression, it was not difficult to see that this carving technique was far superior to his.
But even if he is higher than him, he can't say it directly like this. Isn't this trying to undermine himself?
"This technique is a bit... similar to my master's technique." Xie Liyan said with some uncertainty, and then he added: "But my master has been sealing the sword for many years, it can't be him."
"Master Xie, you mean...this is Mr. Yu's work."
Someone finally heard the clues in his words and couldn't help being surprised.
"Yes, it is Mr. Yu's work." Ye Haoxuan said calmly.
The crowd exploded at once. No one thought that this was actually the work of Mr. Zuo. Mr. Zuo was a senior in the carving world, and the jade ornaments he carved seemed to have souls injected into them.
Especially after he closed his career, his works were once auctioned for sky-high prices.
Those hardcore collectors comment on his works as "hard to find."
In addition, there are not many works left in the world, so his works have been auctioned for astronomical prices of hundreds of millions.
It can be said that Mr. Yu is the real number one person in the world of jade carving. Now that he suddenly saw his works, and there were three pieces at a time, the people on the side were almost excited, and they rushed to this side.
"Xie Liyan, what do you mean, are you trying to undermine me?" Zhou Yan said angrily.
"I'm not trying to discredit anyone. This is indeed the work of my mentor. I admit that my work is far inferior to his." Xie Liyan shook his head.
"Don't forget, you are now a member of our Zhou family, and you have the responsibility to maintain the brand image of Zhou family jewelry." Zhou Yan shouted, his eyes were red, and he felt jealous when he thought about losing to the other party 10 million today.
The urge to kill.
"I'm sorry, I signed a contract with you, not a contract of sale." Xie Liyan said coldly, "Besides, in half a month, our contract seems to have expired. By then, I will no longer belong to your Zhou family."
I am a seal carver."
"We will renew your contract." Zhou Yan was slightly startled.
"I'm sorry, you Zhou family are only interested in profit, and every thing I carve is a work of art, not for you to use whatever means you can to raise the price." Xie Liyan said coldly.
From what Xie Liyan said, it seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with the Zhou family, but people with knowledge of the matter had already heard the clues. Xie Liyan was not just dissatisfied with the Zhou family, he was extremely dissatisfied.
Because at a jewelry exhibition before, Xie Liyan spent a lot of effort to carve out several works, each of which was a fine product. This time, he often showed that masters in the carving world even tasted these works.
With Lao Wu's five-point skills, the carvings are extremely lifelike, as if they were the works of Yu Lao. He gave these works soul.
He attaches great importance to these three works of his. He may never be able to carve such an expressive work in his lifetime.
For someone who has been immersed in the art of sculpture for decades, these things are like his children. However, his owner is the Zhou family. He once wanted to buy one as a collection, but unexpectedly
The Zhou family disagreed.
Not only did he disagree, but he smashed two of the jade carvings into pieces in front of everyone at the auction, so the remaining one fetched an almost sky-high price.
Therefore, Xie Liyan was quite dissatisfied with the Zhou family. Whenever he thought of his two painstaking creations being smashed to pieces on the spot, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
The Zhou family is a businessman who is only interested in profit, but he is strictly speaking an artist, so he decided not to cooperate with anyone in the future. When the contract with the Zhou family expires, he will not renew it.
"Xie Liyan, our Zhou family treats you well, you are such a waste of time." Zhou Yan said through gritted teeth.
Xie Liyan's face changed. He was nearly middle-aged and very famous in the jade carving world. When had he been scolded like this by a young man in front of his face? For a moment, his face turned livid with anger. He shouted: "Zhou Yan, I'm here for you."
It seems that the price offered by the Zhou family is not high. If you hadn’t come up with a fine piece of jade, I wouldn’t have come to your Zhou family. Are you saying this worthy of your conscience?"
"Well, if this is the case, then I will announce now that I will quit your Zhou family and will not be your Zhou family's chief carver."
"Xie, our contract hasn't expired yet. Why, you want to let go of my Zhou family's pigeons? Haha, don't forget your own identity. Even though you are famous, you are just an artist. How dare you
If you break the contract, be prepared to pay 10 million yuan in compensation." Zhou Yan sneered.
"You..." Xie Liyan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was also a master in the jade carving world, but in Zhou Yan's mouth, he became an artist. How could he not be angry?
"Zhou Yan, you seem to have lost today's bet." Ye Haoxuan smiled faintly.
"Fart, I didn't lose." Zhou Yan's heart suddenly trembled and he denied it.
"You Zhou family, if you can't afford to lose, don't bet with others. It will be embarrassing."
"Yes, Master Xie's works are good, but compared with Mr. Yu, they are still a bit inferior. The name of the fine jewelry today seems to be Jingcheng Jewelry."
"Finally I can see the Zhou family's face clearly."
"Anyway, I won't go to Zhou's house to buy anything in the future."
The people around him despise Zhou Yan very much. If you lose, you lose. How dare you not admit it? You think the people on your side don't exist, right?
Zhou Yan's face turned as red as pig liver, and for a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.
Admit it, his 10 million has been wasted. If you don’t admit it, the reputation of the Zhou family will be completely ruined, especially since most of the people present are people in the circle. How can he still be in the circle in the future?
mix?
"Zhou Yan, are you sure you don't admit that you lost?" Zhou Ming said coldly.
"I..." Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. Seeing the contempt in Zhou Ming's eyes, he said helplessly, "Okay, I admit, I lost."
"That's fine, I don't want ten million, but I only have one condition, and that is that the contract between Master Xie and your Zhou family is invalidated. How about that?" Zhou Mingdao.
"this……"
Zhou Ming was in a dilemma, he agreed, but Xie Liyan's influence was really good, and he had made a lot of money for the Zhou family over the years.
But don’t agree. His ten million yuan has been wasted. Besides, Xie Liyan’s contract expires in half a month. In this half month, he probably won’t be able to earn this ten million yuan for the Zhou family.
"Okay, I agree." Zhou Yan finally nodded.
"Thank you, thank you Zhou Ming." Xie Liyan said gratefully to Zhou Ming.
To be honest, he has not been happy in the past few years in the Zhou family. The reason why he went to the Zhou family in the first place was because the Zhou family wanted a fine jade as a condition.
As a well-known master in the industry, he no longer cares about the amount of money. What he cares about is when he can carve a work that satisfies him.
And the jadeite material is really good. If you carve it carefully, you will definitely get a fine piece.
So he went to the Zhou family, but he didn't expect that the people in the Zhou family were only interested in profit, so he felt very unhappy these years. Now that he and Zhou Yan have fallen out, the people in the Zhou family will definitely be humiliated to death in the remaining half a month.
he.
So he was grateful to Zhou Ming.
"Master Xie and Master Yu are now working as jade jewelry consultants in our Jingcheng Jewelry. What our Jingcheng Jewelry is currently lacking is talent. If master is interested, you can come to me at any time." Zhou Ming said sincerely.
"Xiaoyou Zhou, thank you. You are able to invite the master to come out. It seems that your sincere jewelry is indeed special. Well, from now on I will be your sincere jewelry person. There are still things I want to learn from my mentor.
A lot." Xie Liyan said gratefully.
"Well, Master Xie, don't worry, we will never treat you badly when you get there." Zhou Ming was overjoyed.
Zhou Yan was almost so angry that he lost his temper. He didn't expect that Zhou Ming would pull someone in front of him. How could this make him feel so embarrassed? But the words he said were like water being thrown out. Although Xie Liyan had a contract with him, the contract
