return from cultivation

Chapter 42
The store manager was stunned, 100 million?This is not a small number. Although he is the store manager, his monthly salary is only 5000 yuan, and if the commission is added, the maximum is 100 to [-] yuan.So this [-] million is definitely a lot of money for him.

"How do you compare?" the store manager asked.

"The two sides will carry out the carving separately, and the time limit is within one hour. The final product will be voted by everyone on the scene." Suhang replied.

This ratio is very beneficial for machine engraving.You know, the speed of the machine is several times or even ten times faster than that of the manual.Some people can carve works in a few days, and they can be finished in a few hours with a machine.In just one hour, a normal engraver could not carve anything at all.In the eyes of the store manager, this is simply giving him money.Because of this, he asked with some doubts: "What if you lose and refuse to admit it? There is no proof..."

"Guaranteed by my identity, Tang Zhenzhong! If he loses, I will give you the 100 million!" Tang Zhenzhong strode out of the shop, his voice was like a bell, causing an uproar from the surrounding people.

Millions of games ah!In the jade carving industry, it is rare to see.

With Tang Zhenzhong's identity as a guarantee, it is absolutely impossible for something bad to happen, but the store manager hesitated again and asked: "I'm going to lose, and I'll give you 100 million too?"

Counseling before the fight started, such a person is also worthy of being a leader?There was a hint of sarcasm on Suhang's face, and he said: "You lost, just apologize in front of everyone, Tang's Jewelry Store is still short of your 100 million."

The store manager hesitated, and the people around persuaded him to take the gamble.One hour of jade carving, the machine's winning rate is too high, it is likely that it is completed, and the manual carving has just started.Why don't you pick up 100 million for nothing?Under the booing of the people around, coupled with the seeming sarcasm on Suhang's face, the store manager gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay! Just compare!"

Suhang didn't speak any more, turned around and looked at the piece of jade brought by the store manager.It's really big, about half the size of a small table.However, the quality of jade is not good, it belongs to the middle and lower class.Such large pieces of jade are generally used to carve bonsai or large ornaments.But no matter how you carve it, it will take at least ten days and half a month for a normal carver to turn it into a finished product.If it is a master like Tang Zhenzhong, it will take longer, because although they are skilled in craftsmanship, they pay more attention to details.Details often take the most time.

Seeing that Tang's Jewelry Store planned to use such a large piece of jade for carving, the store manager's face suddenly became happy, and he felt that he had won.This kind of jade, no matter how fast you are, you can't carve it in an hour, right?

Thinking that 100 million will be credited immediately, the store manager's face was full of excitement, and he ordered the clerk: "Go, get a piece of about the same size, we can't take advantage of others. Bring that CNC engraving machine too. Since we are comparing, we will do it in front of everyone. Face-to-face comparison saves some people from suspecting us of cheating!"

Suhang didn't bother to listen to his nonsense at all, he stood in front of the jade and looked at it carefully.Although this bluish-colored jade is large, there are cracks in some places, and there are many red oily or oozing skins of different sizes.One piece in the east and one piece in the west are not easy to deal with.

So after the Tang Corporation bought this piece of jade, no one dared to touch it.Even Tang Zhenzhong gave up after pondering for a while.If he was young, maybe he would challenge it, but now that he is old, he no longer has that energy.

There are not many auras in the jade, but they unexpectedly exist in two places.Suhang carefully observed the jade grains and cracks, and compared them with the direction of the aura.And in the shop over there, a piece of jade that was slightly smaller than Tang's was also brought in, and a CNC engraving machine was also carried out of the shop.Several clerks in charge of this thing are debugging and preparing.

After about 5 minutes, it was announced that the debugging was completed and carving could be carried out at any time.The store manager looked at Suhang and saw that he was still studying jade, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "It will be dark when you finish watching."

Su Hang said without looking back: "Then let's start now, and we will see the result in an hour."

Start now?The store manager froze for a moment, then laughed wildly in his heart.What a fool, giving himself money for nothing.He specifically looked at Tang Zhenzhong, and asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you say? Don't turn around and say that you didn't agree when it was an hour later."

Tang Zhenzhong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "I told you to start, why are there so many nonsense!"

The shop manager turned to the surrounding people again, clamoring for everyone to come and be a witness. After many people agreed, he turned on the machine triumphantly.The large piece of jade was mounted on the machine, held by something like a mechanical arm, and the diamond was immediately polished according to the route set by the program.A large amount of jade debris splashed, and the jade continued to rotate under the action of the mechanical claws.Although no one can see what the carving is for the time being, but judging by the speed, it is indeed very fast.

Over there, Suhang is still studying the combination of aura and jade. He has already decided what to carve in his heart, but he is only deducing the details.

But in the eyes of others, Suhang is putting on airs.Even though the time is short, and it is such a big piece of jade, I don't pay close attention to carving it, but look around instead.Someone sneered and said, "It won't be the last time to carve a mountain, just scratch a few knives, anyway, we don't know the goods, maybe the abstraction can fool us. Most of the works of art are incomprehensible."

This remark caused everyone to laugh, and some people complained for Tang: "That's called rigorous! A real sculptor is so serious!"

But such words were directly submerged in the sea of ​​people.No one is optimistic about Tang's jewelry store, even those who agree with Tang's philosophy sigh.In just one hour, how could it be possible to carve a decent work.I don't know what kind of muscle Mr. Tang has had to agree to such an absurd gamble. It's like giving money to others!From the looks of it, Tang Corporation was really lonely, and could only use money to protect his face.

Not to mention other people's doubts, even Tang Zhen's center was very disturbed.Although he had seen Suhang's amazing carving techniques, it was really difficult for him to carve such a large piece of jade in such a short time.He felt a little regretful. If he had known this comparison, he should have taken something smaller.If it is comparable to the piece of jade carved with white roses, with Suhang's ability, this bet will definitely be won!
But it's useless to say anything now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, you can't go back and change jade.Although the Tang Corporation has gone downhill, it can't afford to lose this person.

At this time, Suhang finally completed the deduction in his heart and confirmed all the details.He stared at the jade, stretched out his hand, and said, "Bring the carving knife."

Hearing his words, Tang Zhenzhong immediately became excited. He looked down at the safe containing the carving knife, hesitated slightly, then picked up the one Suhang used last time and handed it over.

Someone laughed, pointed at Suhang and said, "Look, it's like an operation! Bring a knife, do you need pliers?"

Everyone laughed again, but Tang Zhenzhong turned a deaf ear.After receiving the knife in Suhang, his eyes were fixed on the knife, and he didn't think about anything else.It doesn't matter what you win or lose, what face you save.As long as he can see that miraculous carving again, even if he loses, he is willing!

Suhang didn't say what kind of knife he wanted. In his eyes, all carving knives were the same.Big and small, there is no difference.Because Tang Zhenzhong's carving knife is sharp enough, as long as this is satisfied, nothing else matters.

Holding the carving knife in his hand, Su Hang exhaled lightly, and the jade in front of him had disappeared from his eyes.The rest is just the final product.He has already completed all the deduction of the process in his heart, and now he only needs to remove the redundant parts according to the final image he sees in his eyes.

So he moved.

The small carving knife became sharper in his hand, whenever he swiped it, a large piece of jade would fall to the ground.Because the hardness of jade is too high, ordinary carvers often cannot cut it directly, and need to use a carving knife to grind off the excess area.Later, in order to save time, someone used a machine with a diamond for grinding.In this case, the speed is much faster than before.

Today, Suzhou and Hangzhou are pure hand-carved.

The carving knife slashed back and forth on the jade stone, the speed was frighteningly fast, and afterimages passed by one after another, making people seem to see the special effects of swords, lights and swords in movies.

This cutting ability alone shocked many people, even Tang Zhenzhong was a little surprised.The last time he saw Suhang carving, his strength was not enough, but this time, he found that Suhang's hands were much heavier than before, and he no longer felt powerless.

This is thanks to the body training talisman. After a long period of exercise, Su Hang's physical fitness is much better than normal people.Moreover, he activated the cyclone, and the aura merged into the flesh and blood, making the overall quality even better.Carving is much easier now than it used to be.

Pieces of jade were cut off by him and thrown on the ground without looking at them.For the time being, no one can see what he is carving, but in another place, the carving of the machine has already begun to outline.Judging from the overall image, it should be a toad.This is a very popular type of jade carving. The ancients believed that toads can attract wealth.Therefore, many sculptors specialize in carving this category to sell.

Although the image is not unusual, it has a good meaning and fast carving speed.Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will be completed in another 30 minutes.

On the other side of Suzhou and Hangzhou, it has been a long time to look at the jade before, and now it has just started, and almost no one is optimistic.Even though his speed is very fast, looking at it like that, I'm afraid it will take some time to see the clues.

Comparing the two, the very small number of people who support Tang's jewelry store are also downcast.It is indeed the era of science and technology, and artificial intelligence is really incomparable...

Although machine jade carvings have been around for a long time, there are not many people who actually see them on the spot.Many people watched with relish and commented from time to time.

It has to be said that the rigorous and precise engraving process of the machine does give people a different kind of enjoyment, which cannot be replaced by manual work.The store manager was complacent, sitting on the chair brought by the clerk, lowering his head and thinking about what to buy when he has 100 million.
