The hall is very quiet now, because the green sculpture brought by Lin Jiaojiao is indeed eye-catching.
The big guys present were also attracted.
Pei Yuqin gently pinched Shen Yu's wrist with her hand, "Qinan, this jade sculpture given by the Lin family is worth a lot of money. Now the price of jadeite has been rising sharply. If this jade sculpture goes up for auction, it will probably cost more than 10 million yuan." , in order to obtain the land from Uncle Song, the Lin family really did not hesitate to spend money."
Shen Yu nodded slightly in agreement.
As Gu Qingqing teased Shen Yu, his fairy sister was right.
Although it is a birthday gift from someone celebrating the festival, to be honest, this jade sculpture is perfect both in terms of material and carving.
First of all, it is very difficult to find such a large piece of high-ice Zhengyang green jadeite.
That is to say, the jade king Lin Xinrong, who specializes in jade wool, has this kind of ability. No one else would even think of it. From this point alone, this jade sculpture can be called a rare treasure.
Another thing worth mentioning is the carving technique of this jade sculpture.
Its carving combines the essence of two major carving techniques: simplicity, toughness and meticulousness.
The immortal's lips and teeth are clear and his expression is vivid, and his expression and posture are very natural.
If you look closely, you will see that the mouth, nose, beard and hair are all carefully carved with exquisite knife skills. Even the patterns on the clothes on the body are carefully crafted to show every detail, and great efforts have been made to control the details.
The auspicious clouds that the immortal statue steps on are carved according to the shape. With just a few cuts, it looks like it was drawn using software on a computer.
Shen Yu also learned jade carving in his spare time. He knew that it was extremely difficult to find a jade carver with such good skills.
This not only requires the jade carver to have painting skills, but also to have superb spatial imagination, and it takes less than three to five months to carve such a jade sculpture. Don’t even think about it. The manual labor cost to the jade carver alone is estimated to be much higher. One hundred thousand.
Since this jade carving was given to Uncle Song for nothing, Shen Yu was too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters.
"Sister Qin, Qingqing, why don't we also try Uncle Song's aged Pu'er tea? The aroma of tea that fills the heart and lungs is worthy of such a great reputation."
By the time Pei Yuqin and Gu Qingqing sat elegantly on the Taishi chairs next to the wall, Shen Yu had already brought the teapot next to Uncle Song.
These rich old men all drank a lot of a pot of hot tea, so everyone has to share the rest!
Chuzhou people love and understand tea, and many people like to drink afternoon tea. Therefore, although Pei Yuqin and Gu Qingqing are girls, they also have a special liking for drinking tea. Of course, they prefer drinking black tea.
After pouring a cup for the two of them, Shen Yu found that the tea soup was golden and clear, and it was indeed the best Pu'er.
Pour yourself another full cup and take a sip. The fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, the aftertaste is long, your mouth and tongue are salivating, and you have endless aftertaste!
"Good tea, really good tea."
I heard Lin Jiaojiao boasting like she was offering a treasure: "Mr. Song, the ancients believed that jade can accumulate vitality and nourish the spirit, and can ward off evil spirits. I originally wanted to find you a mutton-fat white jade carving as a birthday gift, but my father asked someone to find it. After searching for a long time but still not satisfied, I found this green sculpture from the Qing Dynasty. I hope you won’t dislike it.”
"What? Green carvings from the Qing Dynasty?" Shen Yu, who had just tasted a sip of top-grade Pu'er tea, immediately turned his head again.
Why was Shen Yu surprised? Because he had just seen this jade sculpture. It was good, but it was clearly carved recently. It was estimated that it took no more than half a year to take shape. How come Lin Jiaojiao said it looked like an old jade sculpture from the Qing Dynasty? Is it carved?
After arguing for a long time, the two antiques brought by Lin Jiaojiao and his wife were all fakes!
Shen Yu is not the kind of character who will retaliate for his anger, but the Lin family made it clear to deceive Uncle Song.
Because antique jade carvings and modern jade carvings have completely different prices.
Assuming that a modern ice-type Zhengyang green jade sculpture is worth tens of millions, then the price of one from the Qing Dynasty is not that much. Double the price is still a small amount, and you have to pay at least two or three times to buy it, or even four or five times. It's all possible.
Don't say that this woman surnamed Lin is lying to Uncle Song, even if she is lying to a stranger, Shen Yu can't bear it when she sees her.
But now is not the time to expose the other party, we have to wait.
At this time, Mr. Gu suddenly spoke, "Your Lin family started out as a jadeite maker, why would you buy someone else's jadeite? Wouldn't it be better to find a piece of plain material and ask someone to carve it?"
Lin Jiaojiao first smiled at Mr. Gu, and then explained: "Mr. Gu, you are right. Originally, my father prepared a good piece of material. The piece of material was a piece of glass Zhengyang that my father had collected for nearly twenty years. Green materials are usually regarded as treasures and are easily refused to be shown to others.
In order to congratulate Mr. Song on his birthday, he took it out without feeling any distress, and personally went to the countryside of Jiangzhou to invite a top jade carver to carve a jade sculpture dedicated to Magu's birthday.
Of course, that piece of material is much smaller than this one, because the other party has already sealed the deal. If my father had not been kind to him back then, the other party would never have agreed.
The jade carver spent a month just reading the jade, and then went through shaping, rough carving, and fine-tuning, which took a total of nine and a half months.
Unfortunately, the work fell short in the end, because the other person was over eighty years old and had poor hands and feet. When he was viewing jade for the last time, he dropped the jade sculpture, causing a piece of jade flesh to fall off the jade sculpture, so I bought this one."
Uncle Song just learned from Mr. Gu that Lin Jiaojiao had made things difficult for Shen Yu in the past. He was very angry and even wanted to get angry on the spot.
He lacks nothing now, but he lacks friendship.
He usually hears nothing but flattery and flattery, and nothing but compliments.
Even the children and grandchildren of the family are like a mouse meeting a cat.
It can be said that Lao Song has few friends left in his life.
This feeling is very lonely, so he goes to flea markets to mingle with stall owners and collectors who don't have much money. He even secretly participates in the recording of a treasure appraisal program just for the excitement.
However, many antique stall owners are arrogant, and they either trick or lie to him. There are only a few who can't bear to see him look at him and they will try to persuade him.
Among them, Shen Yu is the most sincere, so in Song Kaiming's heart, this long-lasting friendship with Shen Yu is very important.
And even after Shen Yu knew his identity, he was neither humble nor overbearing, which is really rare.
It's just that as the founder of Chu Jian Group, you can't treat people according to your own preferences, and the other party has brought such a heavy gift. If you reprimand the other party, it will not sound good.
"Thank you, Chairman Lin, for me, but I won't accept this jade sculpture. You can take it back."
Lin Jiaojiao was very anxious when she saw this, "Mr. Song, please accept it because it is not easy for me to prepare this birthday gift. You don't know that I have spent a lot of effort looking for this Qing Dynasty jade sculpture." ."
"Wait a minute, you said this green sculpture is from the Qing Dynasty?" Shen Yu suddenly spoke at this time.
