Chapter 87 - First knife in the north
Su Pingnan’s ability to be respected by the industry as the number one player in the north in the jade carving industry shows that his carving skills are extremely profound and his natural continuity of visits for life is endless, and Zhang Jun is one of them.
This is an ordinary courtyard in Kyoto, with an alley less than three meters wide in front of it, but at the moment the place is full of people. Zhang Jun was shocked when he arrived, but he was relieved when he thought about it. Su Pingnan’s jade carving kung fu dominates the north, so naturally there are many people looking for him.
Therefore, he also reluctantly joined the line, holding a huge canvas bag in his left and right hands. It was the three pieces of high-quality jade he found in the Emerald City, and he was going to show it to Su Pingnan.
While queuing, he counted the waiting people and found more than 30 people, including men and women, old and young, all waiting eagerly, looking towards the gate. And it didn’t take long for him to line up, and a few more people lined up behind him.
With a wry smile, he had to wait honestly.
The few people in front had obviously been standing for a long time, and the soles of their feet were so painful that they sat on the ground with their **** butt on the ground, not even looking at their images.
Zhang Jun was not afraid of being tired, so he simply stood up and took the opportunity to practice.
From more than nine o’clock in the morning, until one o’clock in the afternoon, he finally entered Su Pingnan’s home. However, as soon as the talent entered the door, he was stopped by a young man combing the middle and asked: “What are you doing here?”
“Master Su, please see a few things. If possible, I hope he can help with carving.” Zhang Jun smiled.
The young man asked again: “Have you made an appointment?”
Zhang Jun shook his head: “No.”
“If you don’t have an appointment, make an appointment today and come back in line tomorrow.” said the young man.
Zhang Jun was speechless for a while, and dared to line up for a long time. It was just an appointment. He smiled bitterly and said, “Can you please give me a notification and say that what I brought is very good.”
“Things are good?” The young man showed contempt, “You mean the jade you brought is good? Teacher Su hasn’t seen anything? Don’t hinder others, leave their names, and come back tomorrow.”
Zhang Jun was a little unwilling. He put the canvas bag in his right hand on the ground and then unzipped it. Suddenly, a ray of thick and uniform green came out, making the young people’s eyes straightened, staring at the canvas bag without moving.
He was very confident in his own things and knew that he would be able to calm the other person, so he smiled and asked, “Is this stuff alright?”
The young man returned to his senses and looked away from the canvas bag reluctantly. He was surprised and said: “This is the lowest ice jade, right? And it is so big, it weighs ten kilograms, let alone.”
Zhang Jun nodded: “Gao Bing is full of green jade, it is very close to the glass type, and the whole body is not variegated. This kind of treasure can only be in the hands of Master Su to show the greatest value.”
The young man nodded and said, “You are looking for the right person. Come on, I’ll let you know for the sake of this good thing.”
As he said, he turned and walked towards the main room, then returned soon, and said with a smile: “Teacher Su, please.”
Zhang Jun carried two canvas bags and followed with a smile. Across the threshold, there is an ordinary living room with a few simple pieces of furniture. On the sofa, sat an old man with gray hair, thin and tall, with clear eyes. He nodded slightly to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun put down his canvas bag and bowed before him: “Master Su, I’m bothering you.”
The old man was Su Pingnan. He smiled and said, “I am opening the door to do business. I can’t talk about it. Please sit down.”
Zhang Jun was not seated, he opened the canvas bag directly, and first took out a piece of high ice jade full of green. This piece of jade is like a small watermelon, but the color is uniform and positive. It is a rare species of high ice, which immediately attracted Su Pingnan’s attention.
His eyes lit up and he praised: “Good jade, I haven’t encountered it in a few years, what do you want to carve?”
Zhang Jun smiled and said: “I heard that the master of jade carving can design the most reasonable carving process according to the situation of the jade. I am a layman, and you should decide what to carve.”
Su Pingnan smiled and said, “Okay, I will take this job. After finishing the job, you need to pay two million wages, and you will get it in a week.”
Zhang Jun nodded and took out the second jade. This jadeite is rather peculiar. It is the size of a human head. It has three colors of red, green and purple. It is well planted and it is more attractive than the jadeite just now.
The three colors account for about one-third each, like a three-color watermelon, crystal clear and lovely.
Su Pingnan was moved, he stood up and observed carefully for a while, and said with emotion: “Good thing, I have only seen it in my life!”
If there are three colors of red, green and purple on the jade, it has an auspicious name called Fu Lu Shou. This kind of jade is inherently difficult to find. If the three colors are evenly distributed and the color is positive, it is a priceless treasure and cannot be bought with money.
The stone he brought was undoubtedly a priceless treasure, hard to find in the world, no wonder Su Pingnan was excited.
“This jade, let me decide?” Su Pingnan asked Zhang Jun again uncertainly.
Zhang Jun nodded: “Of course, I want to use it as a gift for the Lin family.”
Su Pingnan was taken aback, and asked, “Which old man of the Lin family?”
Zhang Jun mentioned this deliberately and said, “Master Lin of Lin’s Jewelry.”
Su Pingnan was very surprised and said, “So you know Lao Lin. I have been in friendship with him for many years.” Then he asked, “What is your relationship.”
Zhang Jun smiled and said, “Old man Lin’s granddaughter is my girlfriend.”
Su Pingnan nodded, said nothing, and continued to observe the jade.
After he finished reading, Zhang Jun took out the third jadeite. This is a piece of jade with floating flowers in ice. The overall shape is cylindrical and about 30 cm high. It is naturally like a vase. Even more amazing is that those floating flowers naturally form a landscape.
There are distant mountains, mountains and trees, and a long-sleeved woman floats like a fairy. Even the famous calligraphy and painting, but also such a level.
Su Pingnan was amazed, and said: “This jadeite, with a little carving, can become a masterpiece, idiot, where did you get so many top-quality jadeite?”
Zhang Jun “hehe” smiled: “I am one of the shareholders of Donghai Tianxing Jewelry Company, and I have a lot of jadeite resources in my hands.”
Su Pingnan: “It’s no wonder.” Then he said, “I took all these three jobs. The total cost is six million yuan. It can be completed in about one and a half months.”
Zhang Jun said: “Okay. Actually, I have come to see Master Su, and I have something to ask for.”
“You said.” Su Pingnan said.
“Tianxing Jewelry was established not long ago and is currently in a stage of rapid development. It needs seniors like Master Su to sit here. Therefore, on behalf of Tianxing Jewelry, I hope that Master Su can become a dedicated engraver for Tianxing Jewelry. Of course, you can continue. For private work, you only need to carve individual jadeite pieces.” Zhang Jun said.
He had thought about this a long time ago. If Tianxing Jewelry can reach the masters of jade carving such as Su Pingnan, it will definitely be able to become famous and embark on the development route of high-quality and high-end.
