Chapter two hundred and eighty-fifth long drought meets rain
Text] Chapter 285: Rain comes after long drought
? As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gu Yang and Wu Zhaobang changed slightly. You must know that they are both the top masters in the country. Except for their teacher Xue Hongyun, they have never impressed anyone in jade carving skills. With this annual salary
It can only be regarded as a compromise price, not to mention that they have to drag their families here. If they didn't value the relationship between master and apprentice and those top-quality jade, they would really be too lazy to change jobs.
Xu Qing took a sip of tea and said: "I invited two senior brothers to consider Gao Fei's items. Any one of them can be sold for millions. Aren't you going to get stabbed in the back if you ask for such a cabbage-price salary? When the time comes,
When they throw their picks and leave, where can I go to cry?"
Mr. Xue narrowed his eyes and looked at the mysterious apprentice: "How much annual salary do you mean it's not just a cabbage price?"
Xu Qing put down the tea cup and said: "The annual salary will be doubled, and I will cover all housing and other expenses. In addition, I will also use 5% of the net profit from the sales of carved objects as dividends. I wonder what the two senior brothers think?"
The annual salary is doubled, and there is also housing and share sharing. This kind of treatment is much more generous than the two people used to do. They even have some doubts about how much this junior brother can earn? If they earn less, they will not feel at ease with this salary.
Already.
Mr. Xue said with a smile: "You want your two senior brothers to stay in Jiangcheng and take root, right?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "But I want the two senior brothers to be responsible for carving high-grade jadeite above the ice type. Other mid-range jadeites still have to be carved by someone else."
Gu Yang frowned and said, "That won't work. Wouldn't we both be too busy just thinking about Gao Fei who is above the ice type? We might as well buy the mid-range goods as well."
Wu Zhaobang also nodded and said: "Our polishing of objects is not entirely done by hand. For example, when polishing a bracelet, it is all done with a mechanical mechanism. It is not cost-effective just to polish Gao Fei. Senior brothers are all the same, but I have to feel at ease with the salary."
?”
Mr. Xue has the reputation in the industry of being able to carve an item every three years, simply because this master-level carving master has completely broken away from the category of creating commercial value. He carves every process by hand, and what he pursues is not the quality of the object itself.
The value lies in expressing a state of mind. It can be said that every item he carves is an interpretation of art. It is absolutely impossible for him to buy a pair of glossy bracelets.
Gu Yang and Wu Zhaobang are different. Although they have skills, they always need to constantly prove their worth. Only by being able to create valuable sculptures can they gain fame and fortune in the industry. Maybe in a few years they will be like Xue
Let’s pursue something deeper as always!
Xu Qing knew that the two of them had good intentions, but he also had his own plans. The Gao Fei currently in the basement was enough for the two senior brothers to ponder for a long time. If they added those mid-range jadeite, it might not be enough for them to ponder for a lifetime.
"No need, it's better to find someone else to make mid-range jadeite. I'm afraid you two can't carve it."
The empty cup in front of Xu Qing was filled again by Mr.
"Junior brother, don't talk too much. You have to know that our brothers are not slow at crafting. I'm afraid the high-grade jade material you bought from Myanmar won't last long."
Gu Yang tried his best to remind him in a tactful tone. Only after he saw the piece of insect material and the eighteen Bodhi seeds from Mr.
Materials are extremely scarce, so there won't be much stock.
The two brothers estimate that Xu Qing has more than ten kilograms of Gao Fei on his hands. If this is the case, it won't take long for the two of them to be clean. You must know that they brought a stack of design drawings before coming.
A portion.
Xu Qing picked up the teacup with a smile, took a sip and said, "We'll find out later. I'm worried that you think the workload is too heavy and won't do it!"
Wu Zhaobang shook his head like a drum: "Who in our industry would like to have too much good material? If we hadn't heard from the teacher that you have good materials here, we wouldn't know how long we would be able to make it."
Guyang smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard for a clever daughter-in-law to make a living without rice. I haven't seen glass seeds in three years. Coming to the teacher this time is a bit of a relief."
Wu Zhaobang is now a shaking cat. He shook his head for a while and sighed: "Oh! I am even worse. I carved a piece of ice waxy material of about one kilogram the year before last. From now on, even ice seeds are rare, even if I see a piece as big as a tea cup
It’s not my turn to carve the glass seeds…”
There is a saying that a well-fed man does not know a hungry man is hungry. Looking at the expressions of the two senior brothers, Xu Qing felt it was funny for a while. Mr.
Let’s get some good food to satisfy our two senior brothers’ cravings.”
Xu Qing blinked and said, "Don't wait until later. My basement is full. Why don't we go over and move two blocks now?"
Mr. Xue was the only one who knew that Xu Qing had clairvoyant eyes, and he had an idea of how much information he had hidden. Just the half piece of Biao Wang was enough for the two frustrated apprentices to ponder for ten or eight years.
Of course, taking out the bracelet is another matter.
"That's fine, they will stay at my place temporarily for the next few days. Go and bring two pieces of high-ice materials over here immediately and let them try their hand. I want to see if these two boys' skills have improved."
Mr. Xue nodded and smiled. Anyway, he has all kinds of carving tools at home. Although they are all used by hand, they can test the skills more.
Xu Qing responded, got up and left the villa. The three masters and apprentices filled the water and drank tea, waiting for the ingredients to be delivered.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qing walked in carrying a bulging fiber bag. On the bag, it was clearly written, Thai fragrant rice, twenty-five kilograms. Xiao Xu couldn't find a suitable bag for a while, so he had to just go with it.
I took a rice bag and made do.
Bang!
The rice bag made a muffled sound on the floor. It was really heavy. Xu Qing bent down and took out two pieces of green jadeite from the bag and placed them randomly on the coffee table. These two pieces of material were temporarily used to mark half of the king's mark with Longyuan Sword.
Each piece I dug out should weigh at least 20 kilograms. Jadeite is very dense, and 20 kilograms is only about the size of a basketball.
"Haha! I haven't weighed myself yet, so the two brothers (5) will give it a try first..." Xu Qing smiled and scratched the back of his head, looking disapproving.
Compared with the half-ton piece of Biaowang, these two pieces of material are just roof tiles.
Bang bang - two purple sand cups paused on the coffee table at the same time, and two pairs of slightly trembling hands hugged the wool at almost the same time. Gu Yang and Wu Zhaobang hugged the material to their chests like a child, their faces reflected
became green.
"What a pure high-ice Zhengyang green. I haven't carved this kind of material in three years. Such a big piece... haha!" Gu Yang's emotion turned into ecstasy, and finally he couldn't help laughing.
