Lu Li didn't choose the jade carving material right away, but looked all the way through the entire jade exhibition hall, looking at each piece of jade carefully, back and forth, up and down.

The other jade carving masters were similar to Lu Li, and they only looked at each piece of jade and observed carefully along the way.

It cannot be touched, and the selection of materials depends entirely on eyesight and experience.

Compared with other masters, Lu Li's material selection experience is indeed inferior.Carved jade by myself, and only once in Mr. Jiang's company.

Therefore, lack of experience, IQ to make up.

With Lu Li's unforgetable eyesight, after seeing a piece of jade, he still virtualized the complete structure of the whole piece of jade in his mind.

Lu Li watched carefully, seriously, and slowly.

After the other jade carving masters had finished viewing the exhibition hall, Lu Li had only walked two-thirds of the way through.

"This is a matter of experience!"

Seeing Lu Li left alone at the end, Master Zhang Yu from Shanghai smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, it doesn't make much sense whether he looks at it or not."

Master Liu from Yangzhou took up the conversation, "He is a sculptor. Even if he has been in contact with jade carving, he must have never cut a few pieces of material. Choose the cheapest one, practice your hands, and make no mistakes. Just be sure. "

"Maybe, he still wants to become famous in one fell swoop!"

A jade carving master next to him took up the conversation, "Young people, you have to bump into walls a few times and suffer a few times before you can make progress."

"Not yet 20 years old, it is indeed too young."

Another jade carving master sighed and shook his head, "Back then, when I was 20 years old, I could only wipe my master's sweat, and I didn't even have a chance to get started."

"I'm better than you. After several years of grinding stones, the master let me peel."

The jade carving masters chatted in small groups, waiting for Lu Li to come back after seeing the jade.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long!"

Half an hour later, Lu Li just finished looking around and hurried up.

"fine!"

"You are still young!"

"Understandable! Understandable!"

These jade carving masters did not speak ill of each other, and they behaved very magnanimously.

After all, as a well-known person in the jade carving industry, he is not so narrow-minded as to care about such a trivial matter with a young man.

"Masters, everyone must have read all the jade stones in the exhibition hall, and have already selected the jade stone that suits their wishes."

A staff member of the organizing committee came up and said to everyone, "Now, please follow me."

After speaking, the staff led everyone out of the exhibition hall and came to a large conference room.

"Masters, please take your seats according to the nameplates. Everyone has a tablet on their seats."

The staff stood on the stage and said to the masters: "On the tablet computer, there is a material selection icon. Click on the icon, and the picture and serial number of each piece of jade in the exhibition hall are listed on it. Please confirm the selected jade material."

"Attention! If more than one person chooses the same piece of jade, we will use the chronological order as the basis, and the jade will belong to the person who chooses first."

"Start now!"

With one order, all the masters opened the icon one after another and chose the jade material they like.

Master Zhang Yu from Shanghai, looking at the pictures of jade stones displayed on the tablet computer, his eyes fell to the end, and he saw the last piece of five-color transparent jadeite material.

"This piece of material... glass is a kind of transparent material, but there are red, green, yellow, white, purple, five colors of jade flesh. It is used for jade carving. The shape and color are very suitable. It's just..."

Master Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

This piece of material has five colors intertwined, entangled, and the stripes are too close together, making it too difficult to carve.And it's made of transparent material, so any mistakes can be seen clearly.

Forget it, change to something more secure.

Master Zhang Yu moved his fingertips to the side and picked a piece of white and sun-green jade.

After clicking OK and selecting the material, Master Zhang Yu was surprised to find that...the piece of transparent five-color material that he gave up just now had been chosen away.

Who is so awesome?Even this piece of material dares...

The next moment, the name of the selector was already displayed under the jade material.

Fuck!Land from?

How dare you choose this material?

Master Zhang Yu was dumbfounded.

The other jade carving masters who saw this result were also dumbfounded.

Do you dare to choose this material?Do you dare to choose materials that we dare not do?

Do you know how risky it is to carve this material?

If it is broken, you will have to pay for it!Are you here to compete, or to lose money?

How much money do you have at home?How dare you play like this?

"That...Little Lu!"

At this time, Master Liu Yu of Yangzhou, who was sitting next to Lu Li, turned his head to look at Lu Li, and reminded Lu Li, "Xiao Lu, you can change to a safer material! This material is more difficult to carve."

Carving is more difficult?

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the jade picture on the tablet, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Is this too difficult?Compared with the cracked Tianhuang stone I carved, it is not so difficult to carve this piece of transparent jadeite!

"Is this piece of jade... difficult to carve?"

Lu Li raised his head and looked at Master Liu Yu with a puzzled face.

"Yes! It's more difficult."

Master Liu Yu secretly sighed.After all, Lu Li was a sculptor, and he had absolutely no experience in jade carving.Even if you can't judge the difficulty of jade carving, you dare to participate in the competition?

"Jade carving has a certain peculiarity."

A jade carving master next to him couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Xiao Lu, you chose this five-color jadeite with a transparent background. Because it has a transparent background, it has extremely high requirements on the knife marks on the jade carving, so it is not easy to handle."

"Oh, I see!"

Lu Li finally figured out what they meant by "difficult to carve".

Because this piece of jade has a transparent base, like a piece of transparent glass, if you use a knife to carve on it, you must polish every notch to keep the jade crystal clear.

It is indeed a little troublesome, but... this only needs to be finely ground once to solve the problem?It's like grinding a lens, it's not too difficult, is it?

"Thank you for your concern."

Lu Li nodded to Master Liu Yu and the master who answered the conversation with a smile, "It is indeed a bit troublesome to carve this piece of jade, but it is also a challenge. I want to try."

try...?

Hearing Lu Li's words, Liu Yu and all the masters who paid attention sneered inwardly.

There is no such thing as trying in jade carving, it either succeeds or fails.

With your skill, try... you may die!

"You're good to know."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

Even Hades can't save the damned ghost.If you don't listen to persuasion and insist on showing off, then it's up to you.

The other masters just glanced at Lu Li and said nothing more.

From the perspective of caring for young people, I made a proper reminder because you are a student of Mr. Han.If you don't listen to advice, that's your fault.

After the material selection is completed, the contestants leave separately.

Next, the units represented by the contestants came to negotiate with the organizer.Either buy the selected jade, or pay a deposit, and after completing the formalities, the contestants can use the selected jade to carve.

After all... these are valuables.This procedure is a precautionary measure to avoid wrangling after damage.

After Lu Li finished selecting the materials, he went back to the hotel to rest.Manager Wu will come over immediately to go through the relevant procedures.

"Old Wu, I heard that your company wants to enter the jewelry and jade industry?"

When Manager Wu came to the jade exhibition hall and was about to go through the formalities, the business manager of Dr. Zhou's jewelry and jade shop from the capital started talking with Manager Wu.

"How do I know the company's decision? I'm just an errand runner."

Although this news is no secret in the industry, Manager Wu is still tight-lipped.

"Ha ha!"

The business manager of Dr. Zhou's jewelry shop smiled, "Old Wu! Your company's decision-making is really confusing. You hired Lu Li to make jade carvings for you? Although he is a well-known teacher,...how old is he? I'm still a sculptor. Is your company going to the doctor for an emergency?"

"Lu Li's jade carving skills are no worse than those of your masters."

Manager Wu felt a little annoyed by the sarcasm in this man's words.

"You are confident."

The business manager smiled and shook his head, "I heard that your Master Lu Li chose a piece of transparent material that is extremely difficult to carve. I wonder if it's because a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers? Or is there no clue at all?"

"Just wait and see!"

Manager Wu snorted, didn't bother to talk to this person, and walked into the jade exhibition hall.

And then... When Manager Wu saw the transparent jade material that Lu Li had chosen, he was a little confused!

Teacher Lu, why did you choose such a piece of material?

Even if I don't know jade carving, I can tell that this thing...is really not easy to carve!

However, Manager Wu remembered that Lu Li could handle Tian Huangshi with cracks inside so perfectly. It must be considered a bold talent to choose this material!

Since Mr. Lu is confident, there is no problem!

In a sense, this variegated material with a transparent bottom is actually only suitable for jade carving.For things like other jewelry, the colors are too mixed.

Manager Wu made up his mind and bought this piece of jade directly from the sponsor.

This piece of palm-sized, flat transparent emerald with variegated colors, if it is not variegated, has a single color, or even has no color and is completely transparent, then the value of the jade is at least several hundred million.

Now... because the color is too mixed, even if it is a glass jadeite, it is worth hundreds of millions.

What is hundreds of millions of materials?Teacher Lu has already cut more than a dozen yuan!Each piece is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, a rare boutique!

Manager Wu still has great confidence in Lu Li!

But... other people don't think so about Lu Li.

Unknowingly, the news that "Lu Li chose a very difficult material" spread in the competition circle.

Lu Li's evaluation of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" is already a consensus of everyone.

This may sound like nothing, but it is a euphemism. In fact, it means that Lu Li is a bit "reckless" and is completely fooling around.

Even the grandpas and grandmas of the judges have heard this statement.

"Old Han, you little apprentice, you chose a piece of variegated material with a transparent bottom."

Mr. Li, the judge, when he was on the phone with Mr. Han, his laughter was obviously a bit teasing, "Have you prepared the money yet? You apprentice, with one blow, you can destroy [-] million yuan!"

"Is that why you don't like him so much?"

Old Han smiled and shook his head, "Old Li, don't be too arbitrary! Maybe my apprentice can surprise you!"

"It's not dark yet, are you dreaming?"

Mr. Li curled his lips, "Tomorrow is the competition. This 'Bian He' Cup Jade Carving Competition, maybe, you, an apprentice, will completely lose your old face."

"Whether it's embarrassing or long-faced, we'll wait and see!"

Mr. Han smiled, "You look down on him so much, don't be swollen by him when the time comes."

"Then let's see!"
