God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 909 Jade Carving
Lin Xiaoya nodded: "This piece of material is the top among the seed materials, so it must be very valuable."

"Then, how much is it worth?" Xu Jingxing asked expectantly.

"According to my estimation, it can be worth at least 300 million yuan," Lin Xiaoya replied seriously.

"It's only 300 million?" Xu Jingxing was a little disappointed. He thought he could buy seven figures, but he didn't expect it to be only 300 million.

Lin Xiaoya was taken aback: "It's only 300 million?" Then she burst into laughter, "It seems that Brother Xu's understanding of the jade market is still at a very low level. Have you been caught by the saying 'Gold is priceless and jade is priceless'? Fooled?"

"Ahem, ahem, no." Xu Jingxing was a little embarrassed by Lin Xiaoya's smile, and what was even more embarrassing was that Lin Xiaoya exposed his thoughts, because he was indeed influenced by that popular saying, even though he knew that jade was also valuable. Yes, but I think the price of the top jade will be very high, it is all sky-high.

The seeds of this piece of kumquat peel are top-quality materials, so naturally they cannot be bought at a sky-high price, so I was a little disappointed to hear that Lin Xiaoya's family was worth 300 million yuan.

Lin Xiaoya covered her mouth and smiled: "This is already the top price, unless it is a very, very good quality material that can be sold at a higher price, otherwise it will be at this level." He hesitated and added: "Actually, this price It’s also a bit inflated. Generally speaking, it’s pretty good if you can buy more than 200 million yuan for this piece of material. After all, it’s small in size, and the weight is placed here. Even if the premium is not too much, those who sell for tens of millions The materials are all top-quality materials with outstanding quality and big size, and is 300 million really very little? Isn’t it a lot? The first prize of Shuangseqiu single bet is only 500 million, and after paying taxes, it is only more than 300 million. It's an astronomical figure that you can't even earn."

Xu Jingxing thought so too. Recently, he has always had the aura of mistaking money for money. He doesn't know if it's because it's too easy to make money, or because his personal strength has improved and he doesn't care about money anymore, or it's a combination of both. ?
Anyway, he just thinks that money is really worthless, and he doesn't regard the one million yuan as money at all.

But now, after listening to Lin Xiaoya's explanation, there is a feeling of "suddenly looking back at that person in a dimly lit place", um, the feeling of forgetting the original intention.

Think about it, two years ago, he was still dying for tens of thousands of dollars, but now he doesn't pay attention to the huge sum of more than 300 million yuan. Is this a change in him?Or has he changed?
This is not a good habit. It’s okay to underestimate money. Money is indeed something that you don’t take with you when you live or die. Just enough is enough, but if you follow along and underestimate everything else in this world, that’s not good. Yes, because once you forget your true heart, people will easily lose control. If you feel that this top-notch jade is worthless today, you may feel that human life is worthless tomorrow, and then it will be other...

So Lin Xiaoya's words woke him up in a fright. After re-examining his heart, he nodded with a serious expression: "I see," he said, taking back the kumquat peel material that was still in Lin Xiaoya's hand, "I will pay the price at this price." Just asking casually, I didn’t intend to buy it at all, um, I plan to use it myself.”

"Use? Do you want to do jade carving?" Lin Xiaoya didn't know his psychological changes, and only thought he was going to do carving, so she asked curiously, "Brother Xu can do jade carving?"

"No, but jade carving and wood carving are both carvings. Even if the materials are different, the carving skills will not be much different. It is nothing more than a process of practice makes perfect. This is not a problem for me. Find a few pieces of ordinary predictable stones. You can find the feeling by practicing your hands," he smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Xu, no way, are you really confident or too conceited?" Lin Xiaoya said a little unconvinced: "I admit the wood carving, Brother Xu, you are a professional and a master, but jade carving is different. Although craftsmanship is also classified in the classification of carving techniques, in fact jade carving and wood carving are two almost completely different ways of artistic expression. The characteristics of materials are one aspect, and the factors of tools are another aspect. They are all jade machines or electric grinders, not carving knives used for wood carving."

"I know that, but it really doesn't make any difference to me," he shrugged and said innocently.

Lin Xiaoya: ...

What else can Lin Xiaoya say?Is this bragging?Or is it a real cow?
He obviously felt that Xu Jingxing was bragging, but he also had an inexplicable feeling that Xu Jingxing really had this kind of ability.

Of course, Xu Jingxing does have this kind of ability. At his level, to do wood carving is to write and draw on wood, and to do jade carving is to write and draw on jade. The only difference is the difference in materials and tools, but for him Are materials and tools a problem?
Although he has not reached the level where he can kill enemies by picking leaves and flying flowers, he is no longer limited by materials and tools. For example, he can use brushes or pencils to make paintings, and he can easily pick up a branch. He can do it, and he can draw a picture with just two strokes with his toes; similarly, he can draw on paper, on cloth, on glass, on the wall, and in the soil. Comfortable with his artistic creativity.

Even if the materials are very different, it is just an extra familiar process. As long as you are familiar with the characteristics of the materials and the differences in tools, you will soon become the king in another field.

Well, it is somewhat exaggerated to say that he is a king. His artistic creation ability is at the top among the younger generation, but it is still different from some old seniors.

Of course, this is purely about art. If he includes the ability to condense things, he is estimated to be No.1 in the world, a standard king, but he is not recognized by the public as a king. Anyone can sense the existence of physicality.

At this moment, Yin Xiaojing interrupted and asked, "Then what are you going to carve?"

What are you carving?

Carving such small objects is really not difficult for Xu Jingxing, especially Hetian jade seed material, which is relatively conventional in shape, is easier for him. Almost any kind of subject matter can be added to it, and the composition does not need to be too strange After all, most of the seed materials are in the shape of pebbles, so you can do it in any way, you can take a ready-made template, or you can do follow-up carvings according to the situation, it is very easy to do it.

However, if you want to make high-quality carvings, you still need to design them carefully, anyway, you must be right with your heart.

But now is not the time to discuss this matter, he smiled: "I have no idea for the time being, let Xiaoya estimate the price for me first, so that I know what I know, when I need money, I can sell these materials first." Speaking of this, I asked Lin Xiaoya: "Can you estimate it?"
