The ironware I made shines

Chapter 58 Invitation to the Show
After the simple contact and communication, Ge Xiaohua learned about the purpose of John and Qiao Na's trip, and it was nothing more than wanting him to join the program of "Thousands of Trials".

"Watson, the program of tempering and tempering is very popular in the United States. In each episode, 10 participating blacksmiths will be selected, and the weapons they build will be selected randomly. They will be built for a week, and then inspected on site. Those with excellent data will win and be promoted to participate in the master challenge In the competition, those who advance in each round have the qualifications to participate in the forging competition on the same stage, this is a competition against the whole world!"

John introduced it. Ge Xiaohua felt that this kind of variety show, with blacksmiths as the theme, should have a larger audience abroad, but it is different in China. After all, craftsmen are highly respected abroad, so this kind of show is very popular. In China, there are all kinds of small fresh meat. This kind of blacksmith-themed program will definitely not be too popular, so Ge ​​Xiaohua feels that if he participates in the United States, as long as he wins the masters championship, the reputation of Ge's blacksmith shop will be famous all over the world.

"How about the bonus for hard work?"

It will be Qiao Na's turn to explain: "For contestants who have tried their best, all transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, etc., will be fully covered by USA. In addition, if they win the championship of each program, they will immediately receive a bonus of 10 US dollars! In addition, the top three in the Master Challenge There are rewards, and you will be pleasantly surprised by how rich they are.”

"What is the prize money for No.1 in the Masters?"

"100 million US dollars! In addition, I got a job as a Hollywood S-level props creation consultant, with a contract with an annual salary of one million, to create professional-level weapons and props for top blockbusters!" Qiao Na said in a seductive tone as she is a reporter. , The whole process was communicated in English. Ge Xiaohua had some special nouns that he didn’t understand, and he specially translated them with the translation software on his mobile phone, so that he could fully understand the general meaning, because these are not commonly used words.

Ge Xiaohua knew that it would not be difficult to win. He was facing outstanding craftsmen from all over the world. He was just a small blacksmith from a Chinese mountain village, and he was just providing a gimmick for the American TV show to attract traffic from Chinese Americans.

Although John recognizes Ge Xiaohua's forging skills, he has never really touched the works exhibited in Hong Kong. It's not very big, guess the real master of Gu's blacksmith shop didn't make a move?

"Okay, I agree to participate." Ge Xiaohua got the contact information of John, Qiao Na and others, including email, mobile phone, Facebook, etc., as well as the specific time of participating in the training and the type of weapon to be created will also be notified by email. Ge Xiaohua, when the time comes, the staff of the China USA TV station branch will contact Ge Xiaohua, and he does not need to worry about related matters.

For example, there is no need for Ge Xiaohua to worry about the weapons that are built. Professional staff will handle the related hauling into the customs. The US TV station USA still has a lot of contacts in this area, let alone works of art, not weapons of mass destruction. .

After solving the matter of the foreign friends, John and Qiao Na drove away from Gejia Village, and Ge Xiaohua had to deal with the follow-up aftermath.

The third grandpa's house.

Ge Xiaohua explained what happened just now, and also told Third Grandpa and Seventh Uncle about John's purpose of coming here. The leaders in the village wanted to understand the situation so that the villagers would not gossip.

"Fan Ming, do you understand the situation? Go do the work and don't let them talk nonsense. I am obedient. Some people are spreading the rumor that Xiaohua is a spy. This kind of talk is leaking out. If you don't stop it, you will say Xiaohua at that time." Hua is not Chinese anymore."

"Third Uncle, I got it, I'm going to set up a village committee immediately. These people are too shameful. We watched Xiaohua grow up. We don't know who he is? And Jianguo is still the director of the county. , dare to talk nonsense like this?"

Ge Fanming said angrily, and then said gently: "Xiaohua, don't worry, I will handle this matter well, and I will kill the rumors that are not good for you in the cradle, by the way, you promised to participate in the American TV competition , will you promote Gejiacun by then?"

The increase in the number of tourists in Gejia Village will definitely generate high economic benefits, which is good for Ge Fanming's political performance. Once the people above are happy, Ge Fanming may go to work in the village and make progress all the way. Examples are not uncommon.

"Yes, this is my hometown, and I will definitely promote it." Ge Xiaohua said earnestly, although he knew that Uncle Qi had a little selfishness, but people have plans, which is also good for the construction of the hometown.

Uncle Qi left the third grandpa's house, and as the elder, the third grandpa asked: "Xiaohua, although your blacksmithing business is getting more and more prosperous now, don't forget why you came back to your hometown to blacksmith."

"Third Grandfather, I know that in order to inherit and carry forward the Ge family's blacksmith shop, for grandpa, and to carry the signboard of Ge's blacksmith shop, I am obliged to do so!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" The third grandfather said a few good times in a row, very pleased, feeling that his elder brother was happy to have such a good grandson.

On the other hand, the preparations for the Hong Kong exhibition are over, what should be done with the cold weapons in Gu's blacksmith shop?This made Ouyang Yecheng extremely troubled, because many children from rich families became interested in these three works of art, but these weapons were not his, but "borrowed" and could not be gifted, sold, or returned.

"Brother Ge, I'm Ouyang Yecheng."

"Boss Ouyang? John and the others have come to see me. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the exhibition."

Without being able to participate in the exhibition in Hong Kong this time, the reputation of Ge's blacksmith shop would not have expanded overseas, and it attracted reporters and planners from USA TV to visit in person, so Ouyang Yecheng's contribution should not be underestimated, but in their view, Ge Xiaohua It's just that I got a chance. It's not sure whether I can become famous or not. Maybe I will be rejected during the audition, and I won't be able to advance to the real master challenge!

"You don't need to thank me. This is your own strength. By the way, Brother Ge, I called this time to ask you, what do you plan to do with the three works of art in the exhibition?"

"Artwork?" Ge Xiaohua was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he said daggers, swords, and knives. Indeed, with the rapid development of modern technology, ancient cold weapons have been eliminated and lost their practical significance. They are basically hot weapons. , weapons of mass destruction, electronic weapons, and biochemical weapons, cold weapons have now evolved into collections, arts, and handicrafts.

"Boss Ouyang, what are you going to do with it?" It stands to reason that it should be transported back to Ge Xiaohua, but Ouyang Yecheng called himself, it must be purposeful, is it because of his fancy?
"My friend has taken a fancy to the artwork you created and wants to bid to buy it. I don't know what you want?"

"Boss Ouyang, except for the dagger, the rest can be sold, but in terms of price..."

"I guarantee you are suitable. By the way, why don't you sell daggers?" In fact, Ouyang Yecheng has a special liking for simple daggers, and he is quite interested in buying them. In fact, according to an insider's opinion, if they are not forged More than a few decades of experience cannot be achieved, and the experience of sharpening is not something that novices can do.

"This is the only souvenir my grandfather left me."

"Your grandfather?"

"Passed away three years ago..."

"sorry."

"fine."
