Facing the expressions of his master and third senior brother who seemed to have seen a ghost, Young Master Tang scratched his head in embarrassment...
It seems that I went too far again...
"Boy, in the past I only heard Old Tang say how great your eyesight is. I just thought you could see things accurately and pick up mistakes. But today I have to express my admiration. After you described these five places,
The overall effect is even better!”
"I said before that this ornament will be worth no less than two million when it is carved. Now after you modify it like this, it will be worth three million. I dare to sell it!"
"Okay, very good! You have a very broad mind. It seems that the story about Liu Guanzhang just now worked for you. You have this vision. As long as you work hard to learn sculpture from me, your future is limitless, even if
Becoming a grandmaster is not impossible!" Mr. Xing patted Mr. Tang heavily on the shoulder and said...
Young Master Tang grinned and covered the shoulder patted by Mr.
It has to be said that the master's physical fitness is really impressive. Even at such an old age, the strength on his hands is still so great. Even Young Master Tang's modified body feels like his bones are numb...
"Junior brother, you are awesome, awesome, you are so awesome! I admire you so much. How did you develop such a tricky eye? Can you teach me?" Shi Yan first bowed to Young Master Tang.
He handed over his hand, and then returned to his playful and smiling expression...
"What are you talking about? What does it mean to be tricky? However, your junior brother's eyesight is really good. Once he modified this ornament, it will be improved to a higher level." Mr. Xing nodded.
"Master, Third Brother, please stop praising me. I know how much I weigh. I just expressed my feelings. It's not as exaggerated as what you said..." Tang
The young master wiped his forehead with cold sweat and said.
"Okay, excessive modesty is pride. If I say you have changed it well, you have changed it well. After you have made such changes, next, I will redraw the design. You two should go out first and don't disturb me.
Modify the design drawing." Mr. Xing said.
"Yes, Master, let's go, Junior Brother, let's go outside first." Shi Yan took Young Master Tang's hand and returned directly to the lounge...
"Third Senior Brother, is Master always like this at work?" asked Young Master Tang.
"Well, most of them are like this. The design drawing was drawn by the master, and the panorama was originally discussed between him and me. After several revisions, I thought it was irreversible, but who knew
Just after you took a few glances, you were able to change five more places, which is really impressive!" Shi Yan admired sincerely.
"Okay, Third Senior Brother, if you praise me again, I will go to heaven..." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Okay, for now, let's talk about the best Smurf first. How many pieces do you want to cut this Smurf into and what do you want to carve it into?" Shi Yan asked.
"I really don't know how many pieces to divide into, and I don't have much experience. It's up to you, Third Brother. As for carving, I'll carve a Guanyin and two Buddha statues first. I want to give them to my parents and sister, and the rest
As I said before, the leftover materials can be polished into ring surfaces or earrings." Young Master Tang replied.
"Well, I know what you mean. I've seen this piece of Smurf. I roughly estimate that it can be divided into five pendants, and it can also make three ring faces and four pairs of earrings. I'm not bragging, even if you try again
I'm afraid there won't be many more top designers..." Shi Yan said.
"Ah? So many? Five pendants, three rings and four pairs of earrings? Senior brother, you are so awesome!" Young Master Tang sincerely admired, and at the same time gave Shi Yan a thumbs up. At the beginning
He thought he could only make three pendants, but Shi Yan said it could be divided into five...
"Hehe, it's okay. Five hangers. How many Guanyin and Buddha statues do you plan to have? I'll polish the rings and earrings to normal specifications for you." Shi Yan chuckled.
"Well, let's have three Buddha statues and two Guanyin. If there are five, my grandparents will also send a set. The rings and earrings are just right for my sister, mom, and grandma. There is still one set left.
The condom is just used to repay a favor, haha, Third Senior Brother, I really doubt that you customized it for me according to my needs." Young Master Tang laughed.
"I didn't expect you to divide them up very quickly. So many things have their owners in the blink of an eye. If I divided them up for you, I would definitely keep one thing for myself, haha." Shi Yan laughed.
"Senior brother, you want it too? No problem. I still have a piece of Minghuang jadeite on my hand. I just need to divide some of it up." Young Master Tang said with a smile. Although the thing is precious, my senior brother just gave it away...
"Haha, just kidding, I knew you wouldn't be reluctant to part with it. In fact, I also have a treasure, look!" The third senior brother smiled and took out a Guanyin pendant from his neck. It was also made of jade...
"High green jade made of glass?" Young Master Tang asked in surprise.
"Well, it's high green, but it's a pity it's not imperial green. Although it's not as good as your top-quality Smurf and that Minghuang Jade, it's still pretty good." Shi Yan said with a smile.
Very good? More than very good, it is obviously very good. A pendant of this grade starts at least one million, and even if it is compared to the top jade, it is not much different.
"Senior brother, how much did you pay for this pendant?" Young Master Tang asked.
"Buy? Of course not. This is what Master gave me as a gift. Although our store is small, there are still some good things. Master has been working with jade all his life. How can he not have some good things around him?
Shi Yan smiled.
"It turns out it was a gift from Master. Haha, it seems Master is pretty good to you." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Master has raised me as his own son since I was a child. He is really good to me. Don't be jealous." Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Where did the third senior brother go? How could I be jealous of you?" Young Master Tang shook his head and smiled. Not to mention a glass-type high green pendant, even a glass-type imperial green jade bracelet, he would not be jealous. He thought
If you need these things, you can always have them...
"Haha, then you are a rich man!" Shi Yan laughed.
"Third Senior Brother, I have a question that I would like to ask." Young Master Tang said.
"If you have anything, just say it. As long as your third senior brother knows, I will tell you everything you know!" Shi Yan said.
"It's like this. The piece of top-quality Smurf I took out is actually not big. At least it is definitely not enough to be made into a bracelet. But in terms of value, you can help me divide so many things into five pendants.
Four pairs of earrings, three ring faces, so many things combined, I’m afraid it’s worth nearly 20 million, right? There’s a lot of words on Wucuo Novel Network.”
"However, a bracelet made of top-quality Smurf jade only costs more than ten million. And the size of this piece of jade is obviously not enough to be made into a bracelet. Why is its value higher than a bracelet?" Tang Da
Shao Shao said doubtfully.
"You ask this? Haha, actually this question is easy to explain! First, if it is a piece of jade that can be taken out as a bracelet, after taking out the bracelet, the remaining parts can generally be made into several pendants and some rings.
Face, earrings and the like.”
"Second, making a bracelet does not actually require high skills. The bracelet polished by an ordinary engraver is basically the same as mine. The gold content of technology is too low."
"Third, if a jadeite that can be polished into a bracelet is completely disassembled and polished into pendants and ring surfaces, there is no doubt that the sales revenue will far exceed that of the bracelet, but few people will do this."
"Because after the bracelet is made, the chain effect of product sales is far greater than that of earrings, ring faces and other small things, but there is a premise that the person who gets the jade is a large jewelry company, small jewelry
The company doesn’t have the strength!”
"In business, of course there are some jewelers who maximize their profits after getting these good things, but with this knowledge, most people will not do this."
"There seems to be an unspoken rule in the carving world. If something can be carved into a bracelet, it will never be disassembled into a pendant. If something can be carved into a pendant, it will never be disassembled into a ring face or earrings."
"Of course, unspoken rules are just unspoken rules. There is nothing you can do if you don't abide by them. Most jewelry stores are not large in scale. If you can get such materials, I am afraid that most of his funds will be staked. Naturally, he will find a way to sell it as soon as possible.
Cutting it into small pieces and then polishing it into ring surfaces and earrings for sale is naturally the first choice, so the most popular top-grade jade products in the world are earrings and ring surfaces," Shi Yan explained.
"So that's it. No wonder Tingting made a few bracelets from the top-quality blood jade as a treasure, and then stopped making bracelets. There were even very few pendants. Most of them were rings and earrings."
Young Master Tang murmured to himself.
"Of course, in business, they will naturally maximize their profits." Shi Yan said with a smile.
"So that's it. Thank you, Third Senior Brother, for clearing up the confusion." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"You're welcome. If you have any questions, I will definitely answer you as long as I know. You are a rich man. Hehe, after making these things, I have another request. I wonder if my junior brother is willing to agree to me..." Shi
Yan asked nervously.
"If you don't want to ask for anything, Third Senior Brother, just say it." Young Master Tang said.
"It's like this. After these things are all formed, I want to carve a unique mark on them to show that this work was carved by Shi Yan. I wonder if that's possible?" Shi Yan looked at Mr. Tang expectantly.

Many people with weird quirks may not be willing to let you put your own mark on it if they ask you to engrave it. Even Lu Zigang has encountered such a thing...
The emperor did not allow him to add a mark, but he added it anyway. According to rumors, he was killed because of this, but in fact he died in a jade mine in Xinjiang...
