God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1310 Exquisite Business Card

Tian Zhongjun hurriedly said: "Master Xiao Xu is too polite, we have never met each other before, there is no such thing as asking you to bring a meeting gift, people know, they think I am overbearing."

Xu Jingxing twitched the corner of his mouth and thought: You also know that you are overbearing?
That is to say, he is not a bitter person, otherwise this slot will definitely be spit out.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no need to complain about others, because after ten minutes of contact, it is not difficult to find that although Tanaka Jun's temper is not very good, it is not as bad as imagined. What narrow-mindedness, looking down on you is just looking down on you, and you won't be the same as the former and the second.

It even made him feel a little ashamed, because before entering the door, he still whispered bad things about Tian Zhongjun to Zhou Jianming.

Ahem, well, the most important thing is that Jun Tanaka is his fan.

And looking at the posture, he is still quite fanatical. With such a large tonnage, it is rare for him to travel thousands of miles to the island city to visit his works one by one.

It would be fine if Tian Zhongjun was just an ordinary person, and the fanatical worship of ordinary people is worthless.

But Tian Zhongjun is the "Jade King" in the Hotan area. Although he is suspected of boasting, he must have strength.

To be worshiped by a big jade merchant with a large amount of Hetian jade in his hand is really a bit unusual.

In addition, Tian Zhongjun's attitude towards him was not like this before. At the beginning, he simply ignored him. After learning that he was also a jade carver, he turned into a deep disdain. But when he recognized him, he turned into a fanatic fan. The speed and range of this turn around were so astonishing that Zhou Jianming was dumbfounded.

Zhou Jianming has known Tian Zhongjun for several years, but he never knew that Tian Zhongjun had such a face. Also always a lukewarm look.

But now, facing such a fledgling young craftsman as Xu Jingxing, he showed unusual enthusiasm.

This is so weird.

It was so weird that Zhou Jianming couldn't help wondering whether Xu Jingxing's craftsmanship was really as good as Tian Zhongjun said.

What the hell is a work with a soul?

Why does it always feel more like a joke on the Internet?
However, at this time, no matter how suspicious Zhou Jianming was, he would not destroy this rare scene.

Xu Jingxing didn't think that Tian Zhongjun was teasing him, on the contrary, Tian Zhongjun might be a little special, otherwise he would never be able to perceive the true nature of his works.

However, he also didn't think there was anything unusual about Tian Zhongjun's special features, because as he came into contact with more and more people, he found that there were still more people like Tian Zhongjun and Han Zhengang who were born with stronger six senses. Most people don't realize this, or even if they realize it, they don't understand what it means. They will just waste their talents in confusion, and let the relatively strong six senses gradually degenerate to the level of ordinary people. Very few people have the opportunity to keep their six senses at their original strength, and only a very, very few people have the opportunity to embark on the road of practice to learn to exercise and strengthen their six senses.

If it was half a year ago, when he met an "abnormal human being" like Tanaka Jun, he would definitely communicate with him, but now, he really has no interest, and treats Tanaka Jun as an ordinary person. Anyway, "abnormal human beings" of this level "In fact, it is not much different from normal people. It is nothing more than a more sensitive intuition, and occasionally can sense some existences that ordinary people cannot sense.

Well, that's all.

So after greeting Tanaka Jun for a while, he talked about the business.

Tian Zhongjun asked curiously: "Master Xu, are you really planning to change your career to become a jade carver?"

He smiled and said, "It's not considered a change of profession, it's all about sculpture."

"The truth is that, but the artistic expression of wood in the field of carving is much stronger than that of jade. You can make good wood carvings, but you may not be good at jade carvings." Tian Zhongjun kindly explained: "The reason why jade carvings become A relatively unique category in the field of sculpture, not for nothing."

"Boss Tian is really knowledgeable, this explanation is very accurate," he flattered at first, and then smiled: "But I am prepared, after all, making jade is like making money by making wood."

Hearing this, Tian Zhongjun laughed and said: "Indeed, the jade business is indeed more profitable than the wood business. I also started in the wood business and then switched to jade business." Speaking of this, he laughed again: "And your strength So strong, you really don’t need to care about such a small gap between the two professions, thinking about it, I suddenly want to see your jade carving works right now.”

"I carved some jade pieces a few days ago, but none of them are with me. Let's communicate again when we have a chance."

"What a pity," Tian Zhongjun sighed softly, and then asked, "Where is your boutique jade store? Daocheng?"

"No, it's in the capital, at Wangfujing," he said, taking out a business card from his pocket and handing it to Tian Zhongjun, "When Boss Tian is going to the capital, you can drop by for a ride."

"I must go, I must go," Tanaka Jun put away the exquisite business card like a treasure.

This business card is indeed very exquisite. It is a high-quality postcard designed by Xu Jingxing and Jin Xiaoxiao and then made by a special person. Only 99 pieces were made. It is mainly prepared for those who have status or special wealth.

After all, a tasteful business card is more effective than a handsome or beautiful face in many business situations.

The 99 business cards he made are not only exquisite, but also each one has a unique design. The overall style is the same but the details have their own characteristics. They are not conventional paper business cards, but paper, gold, and Hetian Yusan. It is made of two kinds of materials, and the color is divided into two types, black, yellow, white and red, yellow, white, yellow and white are gold and Hetian jade respectively, and black and red are the main colors of the paper. background color.

The one for Jun Tanaka was made with red as the background color.

The ochre-red special paper is hard and textured, with his mobile phone number, shop name, shop address and membership official website written on it with hot stamping.This is a routine operation for business cards. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to set up a set, but the key point is that the decoration of this piece of paper adopts the traditional gold-clad process. Wrapped tightly, it looks like a whole at a glance.

And the streamlined shape of the gold piece slides like a silky ribbon under the bronzing text, extends to the left edge of the paper and then floats up slightly, supporting a delicate peony flower, which is made of It is carved from Hetian jade, and it uses a relatively complicated carving process.

Relatively speaking, the slightly dull ochre-red paper is matched with the bright pure gold and the oily, smooth and white Hetian jade, creating a very comfortable and delicate sense of luxury, especially when carved with Hetian jade. The finished peony flower is the finishing touch, making the originally tacky red and gold color scheme instantly sublimated, giving it a sense of luxury but without losing its heritage.

This kind of color matching is not uncommon in traditional culture. For example, the alum red and gold plate he just received a few days ago is a typical red, gold, and white color matching, but the white color of that plate is porcelain white, and his The white in the business card is Yubai. In comparison, Yubai is obviously more modest.

In addition, in the production process of this business card, he also adopted the more traditional gold-clad process and gold-inlaid jade process. The gold-clad process is the process of wrapping the bottom of the paper with gold sheets. It seems simple, but in fact It is an extremely test of manual operation ability. After all, in traditional crafts, few people use gold to wrap paper. Usually, it is wrapped with wood or mud, stone, copper and iron.

The gold-inlaid jade technique is actually a variant of the traditional technique, because his peony carved with Hetian jade is not only inlaid with gold pieces, but also inlaid with paper pieces. It is a three-in-one technique and is more complicated. of.

Therefore, compared with these crafts, the cost of the business card itself is very insignificant. After all, a business card uses only a dozen grams of pure gold, and less Hetian jade is used. A piece of seed material the size of a thumb can Cut several pieces out, so the cost price is less than 1 yuan.

Well, 1 yuan for a business card is actually an exaggeration, but it is still worse than some people's entire pure gold business card.

However, his business card looks more connotative and profound than any pure gold business card or diamond-encrusted business card.

To put it bluntly, this business card can even be collected as a collection, because the 99 business cards, except for the paper and gold pieces, were processed by someone else, and the rest of the process was done by himself, especially only the thumb. The large and small jade patches were carved and inlaid one by one by him. If they were placed in a handmade shop, they could be sold as normal works.

The most important thing is that there are only 99 business cards in this series, which are limited edition and numbered. The shape of each jade patch is different, and even the position and shape of the gold piece when wrapping the sticker is also different. Each has its own characteristics.

In this case, selling a business card for tens of thousands of dollars is like playing a game. After more than ten years or decades, when his fame spreads, the price of these business cards will only be higher.

It's a pity that Tian Zhongjun didn't know much about goods, so he didn't notice this. After all, it was just a business card. No matter how delicate it was, it was just a piece of paper with a phone number written on it in the eyes of someone like Tian Zhongjun.

So after Tian Zhongjun accepted the business card, he directly brought the topic to the purpose of the trip to Hotan - to buy jade materials.

"Boss Tian, ​​how much is your bet?"

Tian Zhongjun replied proudly: "Master Xu, it's not that I am bragging in the old field. No one in Hetian has more inventory than me. All kinds of materials here can be piled up into a small mountain. Sugar skin and There are so many stone leather materials, large and small, and there are many varieties," he asked hesitantly at this point: "Are you going to bet on your luck?"
