"Kaizi, the Chinese New Year will be here soon, why don't you stay at home and spend more time with me? Why do you think you're bothering with me?"
Qin Feng looked at Zhu Kai helplessly. This guy just came back from the capital last night and had to follow him to Guangdong Province. He didn't know where he got so much energy.
"Qin Feng, you kid, don't burn bridges. My buddy just helped you send something to Beijing, and you want to dump me now?" If Zhu Kai's resentful expression were replaced by a woman's face, it would look exactly like a woman's.
I blame my wife.
"Go away, you also have shares in "Zhen Yufang", I really don't understand, why do you have to run around with me..." Qin Feng glared at Zhu Kai angrily, this guy has already
Once you’ve purchased a ticket, you can’t return it, right?
"You think I do?"
Zhu Kai secretly glanced at his father, who was talking to Huang Bingyu not far away, and lowered his voice and said: "As soon as I get home, I have to listen to my father's words. I might as well go to the south with you to gain experience..."
Originally, Zhu Kai had no intention of following Qin Feng to Guangdong Province, but when he went to the capital with his father, he could hear his father's voice telling him to learn from Qin Feng. Zhu Kai couldn't stand it anymore, so he did this.
I bought a plane ticket as soon as I arrived at the airport.
"I don't know how blessed I am when I am in the midst of blessings..."
Qin Feng shook his head. He always dreamed of having parents and a family, but that could only appear in dreams. But the more you have, the less you know how to cherish it. Qin Feng has nothing to say about this.
"Boss Qin, Xiao Kai, what are you talking about? We have to leave."
Huang Bingyu and Zhu Zhengjun came over, looked at the time, and said: "Let's go through the security check first. It's still more than half an hour. After the security check, we will almost board the plane..."
"Kaizi, you should listen to Qin Feng and Uncle Huang when you go out." Zhu Zhengjun glared at his son and said, "If you are dishonest, be careful I come back to deal with you!"
"I know, Dad, it's so embarrassing, let's go, let's go..."
Zhu Kai curled his lips, took Qin Feng and ran to the security check area. For him, as long as he could not hear his father's nagging, that would be the happiest life.
"This naughty boy is not obedient at all."
Zhu Zhengjun shook his head helplessly and looked at Huang Bingyu and said: "Old Huang, they are still young. You should discipline them more when you go out. If they don't obey, you will be beaten..."
Zhu Zhengjun actually loved his son very much. It was mainly influenced by the ancient saying that "a strict father produces a filial son", so he had a sullen face all day long, but in his heart he was afraid that something would happen to his son.
"Come on, Lao Zhu, they are all adults, so don't be so lenient about them."
Huang Bingyu laughed when he heard this. Not to mention Zhu Kai, Huang Bingyu was ashamed of Qin Feng's sophistication in dealing with people. How could he talk about discipline?
After saying goodbye to Zhu Zhengjun, they went through the security check and boarded the plane smoothly.
Although we have entered the end of the 20th century, flying is still the preserve of a few people. There are not as many domestic flights as in later generations. Delays rarely happen. More than three hours later, the plane stopped at Shantou Airport.
.
"Good boy, is it such a hot day?"
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhu Kai couldn't stand it anymore. When he came from Zheng City, it was already snowing heavily, but when he arrived in Shantou City, it was sunny and hot. Zhu Kai quickly took off his coat.
"Xiao Kai, it's only over ten degrees here. Wear a coat and don't catch a cold."
Seeing Zhu Kai's look, Huang Bingyu laughed and said: "Actually, the temperature difference between different places in Guangdong Province is still very big. The hottest place is Shenzhen City. It is above 15 degrees all year round. The coldest is in Shao City in winter.
It also snowed.”
The people who came on the same plane were all similar to Zhu Kai. The first thing they did when they got off the plane was to take off their clothes. However, many people had the experience of coming to the south and brought a thinner coat with them.
"It's better to go to the south. It's so cold in the winter and so hot in the summer." Zhu Kai quickly found some clothes from his bag and put them on, stuffing his coat inside.
"There are also benefits of having four distinct seasons, but the weather in the south is very good."
Qin Feng also changed his clothes. After following the crowd out of the airport, he looked at Huang Bingyu and said, "Boss Huang, how should we go? Should we stay here for a day, or go directly to Yangmei?"
Qin Feng didn't know much about Yangmei. He only knew that it was an emerging jade processing base in China. As for Yangmei's geographical location, Qin Feng didn't know.
"Yangmei is here. Let's take a car to go there first. Someone will pick us up when we get there. The jade transaction won't start until tomorrow."
Huang Bingyu was very familiar with this place and took Qin Feng and Zhu Kai straight to the bus stop. After buying three tickets, he got on the long-distance bus.
Shantou City is not very far from Jieye. In less than two hours, the car stopped at Jieye Station.
After getting off the car, a short, dark-skinned middle-aged man came up to him and said in less fluent Mandarin: "Boss Huang, welcome, we haven't seen each other for a while."
"Boss Li, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
Huang Bingyu stepped forward and shook hands with the visitor, and said: "Boss Li, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Qin Fengqin from the capital. He is the entry-level disciple of Mr. Qi Gong..."
Turning around, Huang Bingyu introduced Qin Feng and Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, Xiao Kai, this is a well-known jade carving master. He opened his own jade carving factory. He is also an old customer of mine, boss Li Yongqianli..."
"Oh? Disciple of Mr. Qi, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
After hearing Huang Bingyu's words, Li Yongqian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Qin Feng and Zhu Kai were Huang Bingyu's descendants, but he did not expect that Qin Feng had such a big background.
You should know that although the carving technology of jade is very different from nephrite, it is also derived from the Hetian jade carving technology. Moreover, Qi Gong's attainments in jade identification are also very high, and he is highly praised by people in the jade industry.
Qin Feng held Li Yongqian's hand and said with a smile: "Where, Mr. Li's jade carving master's hand, I have heard a lot about it in the north, and I wanted to ask you for more advice."
Qin Feng was not being polite, he had really heard of Li Yongqian's name, and he heard it from his teacher.
The origin of jade is in Myanmar, but the development of jade jewelry in China originated from Yunnan and Guangdong provinces, as well as Hong Kong and Macao.
Since jadeite is jadeite, the hardness of jadeite is higher than nephrite, and it is much more difficult to carve than Hetian jade.
Therefore, the jade carving technology has its own unique style. It is completely different from Yangzhou craftsmanship and Beijing craftsmanship. It is difficult to find outstanding jade carving masters north of the Yangtze River.
Li Yongqian is a representative figure of jade carving craftsmen in the south. In recent years, some of the award-winning works at domestic jade exhibitions were completed by him. Even Qi Gong praised his works.
"Mr. Qi knows about me?" Li Yongqian seemed a little surprised after hearing Qin Feng's words.
At present, the domestic market is still dominated by soft jade jewelry such as Hetian jade, and consumers’ awareness of jade is not very high.
For example, Qi Gong now represents mainstream culture, while Li Yongqian is a niche culture. Li Yongqian is very happy to be recognized by Qi Gong.
"Of course, the teacher commented on your roast chicken carved from yellow jade..."
Qin Feng thought about a picture album that Qi Gong showed him and said: "The teacher once gave an eight-character evaluation of that work, which is "novel idea and exquisite carving." Mr. Li is quite famous in the capital. .”
Green jade is the most expensive, but top-quality yellow jade is also valuable. Li Yongqian once carved a roasted chicken from a piece of yellow jade and sent it to a jade exhibition. It won the first prize at the exhibition. Qi Gong also knew from this. of his name.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Qi. I still have a lot to learn."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Li Yongqian couldn't help but show a hint of lust. With Qi Gong's reputation, this simple compliment was enough to increase his worth a lot.
"Hey, Boss Li, can't we just talk here?"
Seeing Qin Feng and Li Yongqian chatting in full swing, Huang Bingyu, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Boss Li, you are a landlord here. Can you take us to see the Kung Fu tea in the Chaoshan area?"
"Oh, look at me, I'm so excited that I've forgotten all the important things."
Li Yongqian slapped his forehead, grabbed the bag from Qin Feng's hand, and said: "Let's go, let's arrange for you to stay. After putting your things away, I will take you to drink Kung Fu tea and taste Chaoshan snacks..."
Li Yongqian drove a white van and took several people to a hotel. He had already booked a room, handed the room card to Qin Feng and others, and sat in the hotel lobby to wait.
Entering the elevator, Qin Feng asked strangely: "Boss Huang, you and Boss Li have a very good relationship. How did you get in touch?"
In the jade business, the first priority is the quality of the jade, and the second is the carving. In some cases, the carving is even ranked first. What is strange to Qin Feng is that since Huang Bingyu has a good relationship with Li Yongqian, he should have started the business long ago. The jade business is the right one.
"Hi, Lao Li and I have known each other for seven or eight years..."
Huang Bingyu said with a smile: "I was in the jade business in the early 1990s, but no one in the mainland recognized this kind of jade at that time and it was difficult to sell, so I stopped doing it after a few days. However, my relationship with Lao Li has always been Just settled down..."
It turned out that when Huang Bingyu met Li Yongqian, Li Yongqian was just an apprentice in a jade processing factory. He had no reputation and his craftsmanship was not outstanding.
Because he liked jade, Huang Bingyu once asked Li Yongqian to help him carve several jade ornaments in private, so the two have kept in touch.
However, what Huang Bingyu did not expect was that after several years of silence, Li Yongqian launched several good works and became quite famous in the jade shop.
Fortunately, Li Yongqian was a very honest person. Every time Huang Bingyu came, he personally received him and did not become arrogant because of his fame.
And another reason is that Li Yongqian resigned from the jade processing factory where he had worked for nearly ten years just last year.
Running your own business is different from working as a craftsman in a factory. You need to contact all kinds of people and coordinate various relationships. Businessmen like Huang Bingyu, who has been in the jade business for many years, are naturally the people Li Yongqian needs to be friends with.
