The expressions of the three persons in charge suddenly changed because they did not expect that Qin Yu could actually see this.
In fact, when Mr. Chen and the others were giving scores, these three people in charge had already received a call from a wealthy man. The other party quoted them a sky-high figure, and was also willing to give them a large sum of money privately.
money.
You must know that these three people in charge actually have some official background. The Tiangong Cup is originally sponsored by the government and some jade companies. These three are all directors of the Zhongbao Association and are official people.
Although working in the Zhongbao Association has a good status and jewelers from all over the country will give me some face, but when dealing with these big bosses of jewelers, they are simply too poor to say anything.
Who doesn't love money, and now there are rich people who are willing to bid for this jade carving, and this jade carving already belongs to their organizer, and the other party has paid a high price. They can firstly explain it to the superiors, and secondly, they can earn it privately.
A red envelope worth ten years of their income.
"Mr. Chen, according to the rules, all the contestants' works already belong to our organizer. We cannot return them to the contestants. Moreover, the five million engraving fee is already quite high." A person in charge said
The person quickly spoke, naturally they would not admit that a rich man had called them privately.
"Yes, we hold this Tiangong Cup competition. Every year, the venue, contestants' fees, and judges' fees make us lose money almost every year. But our Zhongbao Association has never said anything. It's all for the jade carving.
The development of the industry, so Mr. Chen, please don’t embarrass us." Another person in charge said.
"Haha." Qin Yu sneered. Although he didn't understand the operation mode of the Tiangong Cup Sculpture Competition, he understood that there would be no possibility of losing money in any official event, because the official would attract sponsorship, and
In order to build a good relationship with the authorities, some companies dare not not sponsor.
To put it bluntly, the Jewelry Association governs all jewelry industries. As long as they open their mouths, those jade and jewelry merchants dare not to sponsor? Now using this loss as an excuse is simply out of thin air.
"Since we have to talk about rules, that's fine. We are willing to pay for this jade carving, so let's set a price." Yu Rui said in a deep voice.
"We don't have the right to make the decision now. We have to report to the superiors, who will then make the decision." The three people in charge simply shied away. What a joke. They sold it to Yu Rui. They couldn't make a penny at most.
I got some praise from above.
"You need to report it to the higher ups, okay." Mo Yongxing looked at the three people in charge with a sneer. The other party was determined to eat Tiezhu's jade carving. However, these three people were bullying the wrong person this time.
People.
Taking out his cell phone, Mo Yongxing dialed a number directly.
"Sister, do you know anyone from the Zhongbao Association? Well, I didn't cause any trouble, it was someone else who bullied us..."
In Beijing, Mo Yongxin frowned slightly as she listened to her brother's words on the phone. After a while, she replied: "I understand."
After hanging up the call on her brother, Mo Yongxin found a number on her phone and dialed it...
Back here, when Mo Yongxing took out his cell phone, Yu Rui also walked aside to make a call. Yu Rui relied on the Ouyang family, and although the older generation of the Ouyang family has retired, it is still a giant.
Similarly, even Mr. Chen took out his mobile phone after glaring at the three people in charge. As a master of jade carving, Mr. Chen wanted to make friends with many dignitaries. Otherwise, just Mr. Chen, a master of jade carving, would
Identity, how could the organizer be so respectful? In the eyes of an official, no matter how good the carving is, he is still a craftsman, and as long as he is a craftsman, he will never be on the stage.
"Tie Zhu, don't worry, no one can snatch this jade sculpture away today." After making the call, Mo Yongxing patted Tie Zhu on the shoulder, but his eyes were directed at Jiang Tingting. It was obvious that in Mo Yongxing's eyes,
, he was not really that angry, even for him, the three people in charge did this, but gave him a chance to express himself in front of Jiang Tingting.
Not long after Mo Yongxing hung up the phone, the cell phone of one of the three persons in charge rang. He glanced at the number, a look of horror appeared on the face of the person in charge, and then hurried away.
He got to the side and answered the phone.
When the person in charge hung up the phone and came back again, his face was uglier than anything else. He winked at his two companions, and then he was ready to speak.
However, before he could speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang again. So, the person in charge took out his cell phone and looked at the number. He walked aside and answered the phone and came back with a sour complexion that he was about to cry.
Another call came from a leader. Although this second leader is not his vertical leader, in domestic politics, even if he is not a vertical leader, he would not dare to offend him. Who knows if he has a vertical leadership relationship with him?
good.
When the phone rang for the third time, the person in charge almost wanted to press the power off button. However, looking at the caller ID, he did not dare not answer the call. In the end, he had no choice but to step aside again.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Yu looked at the person in charge. With his eyesight, he could clearly hear the conversation on the person in charge's cell phone. Seeing the person in charge's face at this time, Qin Yu
But he smiled, if he had known now, why bother then.
"Well, we thought about Jiang Tiezhu's jade carving work. It was indeed as Mr. Chen said. It was specially carved by Jiang Tiezhu for his sister, so we decided to return it to Jiang Tiezhu."
When the person in charge said this again, his heart was dripping with blood, but there was a smile on his face. He couldn't help it. Of the three phone calls, the last one was okay, even though it was also from the leader of his own association.
, but that leader has already taken a back seat, so he doesn’t need to care too much, but the first two phone calls can determine his future.
Moreover, now that the two leaders have spoken, even if he does not agree, it is impossible to sell the jade sculpture to the rich man. If his subordinates are disobedient, the leaders have many ways to repair themselves. It will be bad if they lose their wives and lose their troops.
.
Those who work in the officialdom are all capable of bending and stretching. After thinking through the entanglements of interests, these people naturally know what to do.
However, Mr. Chen, who came back later, was a little confused. Although he also found a relationship, the man had already resigned from the Zhongbao Association. Mr. Chen's purpose was just to ask the man to help him say a few words, but he didn't feel that
, relying on that person’s relationship, he was able to make these three people in charge suddenly change their attitudes so abruptly.
Although Mr. Chen is a great master in jade carving, he doesn't know the identities and backgrounds of Yu Rui and Mo Yongxing, so he has some doubts in his heart.
"Now that things are settled, let's leave first." Qin Yu didn't want to waste any more time on this.
"Well, there is a banquet held by the jade merchant in the evening, and every contestant is invited to participate." Mr. Chen said quickly when he saw Qin Yu leading Tiezhu and his party to leave.
"Tie Zhu, do you want to go to the banquet?" Qin Yu looked at Tie Zhu with a consulting look. Although Tie Zhu was also a jade carver, Qin Yu knew very well that the path Tie Zhu would take in the future was different from the ordinary jade carving industry.
It's completely different, and I don't even have much communication with the jade carving industry.
"No." Tie Zhu shook his head. He also knew the direction he wanted to take in the future. He participated in this jade carving competition just to prove his carving skills.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Tiezhu doesn't want to participate. We also have things to do here. Let's do it next time."
Qin Yu declined Mr. Chen politely. Although Mr. Chen was a little unhappy, he also knew that this matter could not be forced, so he did not say anything more at the moment. After leaving a number for Tiezhu, he left with Yu Rui.
Mr. Chen is now focused on developing the jade carving industry, and he will naturally not give up on a good young man like Tiezhu.
After taking care of the organizer and getting the jade sculpture back, Qin Yu and his party did not choose to stay in Nanyang, but took a flight directly back to Guangzhou, because Qiaoqiao and the others should also start school tomorrow.
However, on the way to the airport, something unexpected happened and Duanmu Hui stopped Tie Zhu.
"Your surname is Jiang. You have understood the state of extreme emotion at such a young age. I guess you should be a descendant of the Jiang family." Duanmu Hui said straight to the point.
Qin Yu squinted his eyes and glanced at Duanmu Hui. This Duanmu Hui was the descendant of Lu Zigang, and Lu Zigang had a good relationship with the ancestors of the Jiang family. So it is understandable that Duanmu Hui had heard of the Jiang family.
"I know that your Jiang family is different from ordinary jade carvings, and I won't hide it from you. Lu Zigang is indeed my ancestor. My ancestor once left a notebook in which he mentioned the Jiang family and also said that Jiang
My jade carving skills are unique and cannot be compared with other jade carvers in the world."
After Duanmu Hui said this, he looked deeply at Tie Zhu, and then said something that made Mo Yongxing and others stunned.
"I want to become your teacher."
Duanmu Hui's expression was serious, not joking at all, but it was precisely because of this that Mo Yongxing and others were shocked.
Although it is said that those who master come first, Duanmu Hui is already in his twenties, and Tie Zhu is only sixteen, to be precise, he is just a child. It seems a bit awkward for Duanmu Hui to take a child as his teacher.
Even Tiezhu himself was a little stunned, not knowing what to do. In the end, he could only look at Qin Yu for help.
"Tie Zhu, you are from the Jiang family. Now you and your sister are the only ones in the Jiang family. You can make the decision on this matter yourself." Qin Yu said.
In fact, Qin Yu could see that Duanmu Hui was a person who was really obsessed with jade carving. For people like Duanmu Hui, as long as he could improve his jade carving skills and not violate the principles of life, some worldly opinions would not be affected at all.
