super golden hand

Chapter 1191 Chapter [-] Competitors (two in one chapter)

President Xi and his group didn't say much after picking up Li Yang, and after a short exchange of pleasantries, they wanted to help him arrange the room.

Li Yang politely declined the chairman's arrangement. Chen Wuji was his master, and he couldn't stay in a hotel when he came to Jieyang, otherwise Chen Wuji would have to drag him away from here and scold him. .

But having said that, the hotel arranged by the Jade Association for the participating masters this time is not bad.

Shen Zhengde's hotel itself is a five-star hotel. The Jade Association arranged luxurious suites for each participating master. More than 100 participating masters, plus some staff and special guests of the Jade Association, only stayed in the hotel. The above is not a small expense.

In order to achieve good results for this event, the Jade Association has also been generous.

But the money is not paid by the Jade Stone Association. This Masters is open to the public and broadcast on TV. Tickets, advertising and broadcast fees have made the Jade Stone Association a lot of money. These hospitality expenses are just a piece of cake.

"Li Yang, come, come to my place, we brothers have a good chat!"

Leaving from President Xi, Huang Hao enthusiastically pulled Li Yang back. He lived in the hotel, and after knowing that Li Yang was coming, he had been waiting all this time.

Huang Hao took Li Yang directly to his room, and he closed the door after entering the room.

This time Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang did not travel with Li Yang, Zhao Kui and Haidong followed directly into the room, Huang Hao asked them to sit down first, and then went to make tea.

"Junior brother, this is the top-notch Biluochun, how about trying my handicraft!"

After making the tea, Huang Hao looked even more attentive, and he smiled, making Li Yang feel very uncomfortable.

"Senior brother Huang, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't do this, I'm not used to it!"

Li Yang looked at Huang Hao, and withdrew his body back. Li Yang knew a little about Huang Hao, and he had never done this before.

"Hey, since my brother is so forthright, then I'll just say it straight!"

Huang Hao rubbed his hands together, and continued: "Junior brother, I actually have nothing else to do, I know you have a lot of top-quality jadeite raw materials, I want to ask you for a favor, this time I want your piece of black and white Impermanence, can you transfer black and white impermanence to me?"

Black and white impermanence?

Li Yang widened his eyes and smiled softly.

He finally understood why Huang Hao's performance was so abnormal today. The guy with feelings took a fancy to the raw materials in his hands. This time, the Jade Carving Masters Competition is the same as the Shuangcheng Masters Competition. The Jade Association only makes arrangements. All the raw materials of the participating masters are You have to bring it yourself.

In the past few months, the prices of various high-end raw materials have risen again. It is because these masters are looking for raw materials for the competition.

And the better the raw material, the easier it is to highlight the engraving. Almost all the participating masters brought excellent raw materials.

Huang Hao prepared a piece of top-quality raw material himself, but when he heard that Li Yang was coming, he immediately thought about the piece of black and white impermanence in Li Yang's hand.

Top-grade raw materials are very common, but black and white impermanence, which is difficult to produce once in a century, is even more rare, and this kind of top-grade jadeite is more difficult to design than ordinary top-grade jadeite, which is also a rare challenge for Huang Hao.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother, I will never let you suffer. I will give you a satisfactory price, 5000 million, how about it?"

Huang Hao looked at Li Yang nervously. He had been staring at this jadeite for a long time. If he hadn't had time and Li Yang was busy, he would have gone to find Li Yang long ago.

"One hundred and sixty million!"

Li Yang opened his mouth, somewhat surprised by the price.

Black and white impermanence was solved by him last year, and the time was about the same as now. At that time, the most talented people paid 1000 million, and the market price at that time was the same.

Unexpectedly, after only one year, another 4000 million was raised, which was still Huang Hao's price.

"Yes, 5000 million, if you agree, junior brother, we can sign the contract now!"

Huang Hao nodded hastily. Huang Hao attaches great importance to this National Masters Competition. He understands that with the improvement of people's lives, the jade carving industry will definitely develop rapidly.

With the success of the Twin Cities Masters, the possibility of success of the National Masters is also extremely high. This is the first national competition, which has never been done before. When the National Masters really becomes famous and occupies the position of commander After that, it may even become the Nobel of the jade carving industry.

Even if it wasn't, it would be a big domestic contest.

In this kind of competition, Huang Hao really wanted to leave his name behind and become the champion of the first masters competition. If this competition is really famous in the future, his name will definitely be passed down forever.

The temptation to keep his name forever is quite attractive to Huang Hao, so for this competition, he is very, very attentive.

It's a pity that other people can see the problems he sees. There are many masters who don't usually show up in this masters competition, but have many high-strength masters to participate.

There are even some masters who have sealed their swords and come out again, just for the championship.

In this case, even Huang Hao was not [-]% sure of winning the championship, so he wanted to be more prominent in terms of raw materials. With the impermanence of black and white, his hope of winning the championship would increase a little bit.

This is also the reason why he paid Li Yang a high price when he came up.

5000 million is indeed not low, but it is not particularly high either.In the past year, the price of jadeite has increased a lot, and with the hype of this Masters, the better the raw material, the higher the price.

If Li Yang speaks out, I believe that any master of jade carving would be willing to buy it at this price.

For jade carving masters, they may not be able to afford the money for a while, but there are definitely people who are willing to sponsor. This is a raw material, and the value will increase after the carving becomes a finished product. It is still a luxury that many people snap up. No matter how expensive it is, they won't lose money.

"Senior Brother Huang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time!"

Li Yang sighed lightly, shook his head slowly, Huang Hao immediately became a little anxious, and shouted loudly: "Junior brother, is it not satisfied with the price? If you are not satisfied, we can talk again. You have to believe in my sincerity!"

"Senior brother, you misunderstood, it's not a matter of price, I think senior brother should know that I will also participate in this competition, this piece of black and white impermanence is the raw material I use for this competition!"

Li Yang shook his head again, and said the reason directly.

Li Yang didn't lie to him, the impermanence of black and white is really the raw material for him to participate in the Masters this time, and it was Chen Wuji who helped him refer to it.

Li Yang has a lot of emeralds, and there are many top-grade raw materials. When choosing, Chen Wuji and Li Yang once had a headache and didn't know which one to choose.

In the end, after consideration, Chen Wuji helped Li Yang decide on Impermanence in Black and White. At that time, Chen Wuji still had some regrets. He knew that he had left some dragonstone seed materials for Li Yang, and it was absolutely most suitable for Li Yang to use dragonstone seeds for the competition.

The outside world doesn't know about these things. If they knew, Huang Hao would not have approached Li Yang.

But if the outside world really found out, I'm afraid they would go crazy with envy. They were so anxious to find a piece of top-quality raw material, but Li Yang was lucky, there were more than a dozen yuan, and he didn't know how to choose.

"That's right!"

Huang Hao's eyes darkened again. He knew that Li Yang was participating, but he didn't expect that Li Yang would use this top-quality raw material to compete.

After a while, he raised his head again, looked at Li Yang, and said slowly: "Junior brother, don't be angry if I say something that shouldn't be said, I know you have the level of a master, but want to It is not easy to achieve good results in the Masters, I think Uncle Chen's biggest purpose should be to let the juniors come to be gilded and feel the atmosphere!"

Huang Hao didn't say the following words, but the meaning was already obvious.

What he meant was that Li Yang just came to feel the atmosphere, and didn't think about getting a ranking. It would be a waste to use such raw materials.

Li Yang smiled and shook his head: "Brother, I don't agree with what you said. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I also want to get a good ranking. Maybe this time I will give you an accident!"

"Senior brother..."

"Senior Brother, since you call me Junior Brother, don't embarrass me in this matter, but I still have a piece of golden silk and red jade, if you want, I can give it to you!"

Li Yang interrupted Huang Hao's words. He didn't want to reveal his strength, so he could only stop talking.

"Jinsi Hongfei, may I think about it?"

Huang Hao looked at Li Yang disappointedly, and shook his head slightly after a while.

He knows the gold-threaded red jadeite in Li Yang's hand, but it's a pity that this golden-threaded red jadeite is only an ice species, not a glass species. Huang Hao took a fancy to Li Yang's impermanence in black and white, and a big reason was the quality of the glass species. .

The plant was a little bit close, but the result was a big discount. If Li Yang's gold-threaded red jadeite was a glass species, Huang Hao would have made such a request without Li Yang himself saying it.

"Okay, senior brother, I'll go first, Mr. Chen is still waiting for me!"

Li Yang stood up, this time he could only disappoint Huang Hao, the impermanence of black and white was indeed the raw material for his preparation this time, it was impossible to let it out.

"Okay, I'll see you off!"

Although Huang Hao was disappointed, his mood didn't change much. After all, he was twice as old as Li Yang, so he quickly adjusted his mood.

Without the impermanence of black and white, it can only be said that he can't occupy such a small advantage, but this raw material is used by Li Yang, and no one else will have it either. The glass blood beauty in his hand has an excellent effect.

This piece of raw material was obtained with great difficulty by him.

What's more, he also has the experience of carving the glass-grown snow beauty. Li Yang's first glass-grown snow beauty was the finished product he helped to carve.

"Okay, brother, please!" Li Yang didn't refuse. Mr. Chen and Mr. Hong had been fighting for a lifetime, but their relationship was very good.

The two of them are almost like real brothers, so there is no need to be so polite.

"Junior brother, there are quite a few people who came here once, and there are many masters. You came a bit late. Although Mr. Chen taught you, I hope you can come to the hotel to walk around more when you have time. I have learned a lot these days! "

Walking out of the elevator with Li Yang, Huang Hao was still talking to Li Yang when he came to the lobby of the hotel. What he said was also kind advice, and he communicated with his peers, especially the experts, everyone will have different opinions. reward.

This kind of harvest cannot be taught by a master. This is everyone's experience.

"Brother, don't worry, I will come over when I have time!"

Li Yang nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a surprise cry from behind: "Mr. Li, you are here too!"

"Zhou Ye!"

Li Yang turned his head and looked at the people behind him in surprise. Huang Hao beside him also turned around, but his brows were frowned.

"I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here, Uncle Tang, this is Li Yang who I told you about, who rescued me!"

Zhou Ye looked very excited and happy, pointed at Li Yang and said to the people around him, he could feel the respect for Li Yang from his words.

Zhou Ye made a lot of Zhou imitations, but these were all acts of coercion. After Mr. He finished handling the case of that organization, he released Zhou Ye.

However, he also told Zhou Ye to make good use of his abilities on the right path and not to go astray again.

The old man still appreciates Zhou Ye's talent.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by the old man, Zhou Ye will not think of crooked ideas anymore, he has already suffered a loss, and it is still a big loss, and he has learned enough lessons, it is impossible to do wrong things again.

After Zhou Ye returned to Suzhou, he made his own jade carvings with peace of mind, and what he made was no longer an imitation.

Zhou Ye himself already has extremely high strength, and he has reached the level of a top master after being broken and established. In addition, he has been making high imitations for the past few years, so his strength should not be underestimated. Not long after returning home, Zhou Ye's reputation He called out again.

Many jewelry companies have come to him, and Zhou Ye's work arrangements now have to be booked one or two months in advance.

He was also invited by some jewelry companies, including big companies like An's and Shaw, but he rejected them all. After being imprisoned, he yearned for freedom the most and was unwilling to work for others.

"Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Zhou Shilong, Xiao Ye has been thinking about you, and we have visited BJ several times to say goodbye, but we just haven't seen you!"

There was a man in his fifties next to Zhou Ye, who was slightly taken aback after hearing Zhou Ye's words, and immediately came over to hold Li Yang's hand, looking a little excited.

Zhou Ye also nodded. He did go to BJ to find Li Yang to express his gratitude.

It's a pity that Li Yang was busy working for the museum at that time, so he failed several times.

"Mr. Zhou is being polite, Zhou Ye, why are you here?"

Li Yang smiled and shook his head, then looked at Zhou Ye again. This time it was the National Jade Carving Masters Competition, and Zhou Ye was also a master of jade carving. When he met him here, Li Yang had a premonition.

Zhou Ye looked a little shy, smiled and said, "I'm here to participate in the competition!"

This time, Zhou Ye was indeed one of the participating masters. He had not returned to China for a long time, but his fame had already spread, and he signed up after hearing about this competition.

The Jade Association thought about it for a long time, and specifically asked the old man again.

Although Zhou Ye had made a high imitation, it was a last resort, and it belonged to a previous mistake. Now he has corrected his evil ways, and indeed has a very high level. Such a person should give him a chance.

With the old man's instructions, the Jade Stone Association immediately agreed to Zhou Ye's qualification for the competition.

"Participate in the competition, okay, I am also here to participate this time, let's compete!"

Li Yang said with a smile, he was not surprised by Zhou Ye's answer, he had already guessed it just now.

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up: "It's really great that you participate in the competition, but I'm sure I can't compare to you!"

"Haha, don't be too humble. I know your strength very well. I still have something to do. I have to go out first. Let's have a good chat later!"

Li Yang laughed out loud, seeing that Li Yang was about to go out, Zhou Ye couldn't stop him, so after saying a few polite words, he went back to the hotel with the people around him.

When Li Yang was talking to Zhou Ye, Huang Hao didn't say a word, just frowned.

Speaking of which, Zhou Ye also represented Suzhou this time, but the jade carving masters in Suzhou did not approve of him, thinking that he was a stain. Originally, the Suzhou Jade Stone Association opposed Zhou Ye's participation.

In the end, if it wasn't for the approval of the Jade Association Headquarters, it would be impossible for Zhou Ye to come here.

Huang Hao didn't say these words to Li Yang, he just sent Li Yang out of the hotel, and returned to the room by himself. The game was coming soon, and he had to make other preparations.

After leaving the hotel, Li Yang took a taxi directly to Chen Wuji's place.

Chen Wuji had been waiting for him in Jieyang for a few days. Taking advantage of these few days, Chen Wuji dealt with some matters in Jieyang. He is one of the judges of this National Masters Competition, and he is still a very important judge.

His opinion will have a great influence on the final judgment.

The door of Chen Wuji's house was not closed, and Chen Wuji was standing at the door waiting for Li Yang, and Chen Zhenghua was standing beside him. Li Yang, who got off the taxi, hurried over when he saw this scene.

"master!"

"Haha, you are finally here, let's go in and talk!"

Chen Wuji was very happy to see Li Yang, and directly dragged Li Yang into the living room, while Chen Zhenghua went to make tea. He was very convinced of Li Yang now.

At only 27 years old, he has reached the advanced level of Tai Chi. Chen Zhenghua really doesn't know how Li Yang practiced.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

After sitting down, Li Yang scratched his head. Before he came, he called BJ. Chen Wuji asked someone to pick him up, but Li Yang himself refused.

In the end, he didn't expect those people from the Jade Stone Association to wait for him at the airport, so he could only go through the motions first. In this way, it was naturally too late to arrive at Chen Wuji's place.

Chen Wuji smiled and shook his head, with doting eyes in his eyes, he said softly: "It's okay to be early, it's okay to be late, you take a rest first, and I'll tell you a few points to pay attention to in this competition!"

Li Yang said: "I have already rested in the hotel, master, if you have anything to say, just say it now!"

Chen Wuji thought for a moment, then nodded directly: "Alright, the game will officially start the day after tomorrow, time is running out, there are some things you must remember clearly!"

"This time, the competition is an elimination system. There will be three games, the day after tomorrow will be the first game, and there will be one game every day after that!"

After a pause, Chen Wuji went on to say: "The most important thing in jade carving is craftsmanship, but eyesight should not be ignored. The first day of competition is eyesight. At that time, different jade carving works will appear. Everyone has to write their own comments. , because the contestants are all masters, and the display time of these jade carving works will be very short, you have to concentrate and see clearly the advantages and disadvantages of each work!"

As Chen Wuji spoke, Li Yang listened silently.

Li Yang doesn't have any problem with this, he has special ability, as long as he doesn't use the screen to play, he can see the real thing clearly.

It doesn't matter how long the display lasts. With the special ability, Li Yang can see all kinds of good and bad things at a glance.

If the display time is short, it will be beneficial to Li Yang.

Glancing at Li Yang, Chen Wuji said softly: "At that time, there will be ten pieces of jade carvings on display. Only by being able to make correct judgments on eight or more pieces within a short period of time can we advance to the next level!"

"Don't worry about this, I have no problem!"

Li Yang immediately raised his hand, speaking with great confidence, judging by his eyesight, Li Yang is really not afraid of anyone.

Chen Wuji nodded with a smile, and then said: "Okay, the next day's competition is knife skills, and there will be different propositions at that time. The official will provide the raw materials, and the requirements of the proposition must be met in a short time!"

"I'm afraid these propositions will not be simple, will they?"

Li Yang asked with a smile, this time the contestants are all jade carving masters, and it's not an ordinary jade carving competition, so it's no wonder that the proposition is simple.

"It's not easy, but it's no problem for you!"

Chen Wuji was very aware of Li Yang's strength, as long as Li Yang passed the first test, the second test would be absolutely fine for him.

In fact, Chen Wuji knew about the proposition of the second round, but he would not tell Li Yang, he wanted Li Yang to go to the competition in an upright manner, and would never help him cheat.

This is also the principle of Chen Wuji's life.

Li Yang said with a smile: "You just have to have confidence in me, it's the third day!"

Chen Wuji said: "After passing the two tests, the third day's competition is about real strength. Each of them uses the raw materials they bring to make a jade carving on the spot, let the judges score, and finally decide the ranking. The three-day competition is the most important thing!"

"I understand. The first two rounds screened out some people with low strength, and in the end it was the direct sword-to-knife confrontation between the strong people!"

"That's right. There are more than 100 people this time. It is impossible for them to make jade carvings on the spot. The judges will be tired, and the audience's attention will be distracted by then!"

Chen Wuji nodded, and Li Yang began to feel sad for those jade carving masters who were desperately looking for good materials.

Almost all jade carving masters brought their own raw materials this time, but they didn't know that there were not many people who really took these raw materials to show their skills, and many of them might be eliminated before reaching the final level.

They can only go back with their own raw materials in the end.

However, Chen Wuji's words also made sense. It is not realistic for so many jade carving masters to come together to make jade carvings for a competition, and some of them need to be eliminated.

"Master, after two days of elimination, how many people are left in the end?"

Li Yang asked again, he understood that this competition is not as simple as imagined, but there is not much pressure, he believes in his own strength.

"In the end, there should be less than 20 people left!"

"The elimination rate is more than 80.00%, this elimination rate is not low!"

Li Yang was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be so few people left in the end. He thought that half of the people could stay in the end. After all, this is a masters competition. Grandmaster.

"The principle this time is to keep improving, and there may be fewer people, but we all believe that there are a few people who will definitely be able to persist until the last day. These people are also your biggest opponents!"

Chen Wuji spoke slowly, and he also took out a document bag. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. Before Li Yang came, he had paid attention to all the jade carving masters participating in this competition, and sorted out for Li Yang. A copy of the opponent's profile came.

…………

Two-in-one, it's a little late, but fortunately, I'm fine this morning, so I can sleep in!
