gentle city

Kajikawa Norioyuki worked in a university. In his early years, he worked as a designer for a famous American jewelry company. But now, when he is a little older, he focuses on teaching and educating people and has his own studio.

Qinghe and Kajikawa Noriyuki agreed on the time and place to meet, and they were going to go accompanied by Mr. Lu Wenlu.

Zhao Yang is proficient in Japanese, and because of his work, he has quite a connection with Japan.

Feng Zhou had already told him that he would arrange all the basic necessities, food, housing and transportation for Qinghe, and Feng Zhou also contacted his business partner and friend in Japan to take care of Qinghe.

So before Qinghe left the hotel, Mitsui Keiko came to the hotel to meet Qinghe in person.

Mitsui Keiko is the daughter of the head of the famous Mitsui Group in Japan. The Mitsui Group is mainly involved in the fields of metals, chemicals, electrical appliances, real estate and other fields. It is a large-scale industrial group with a long history and strong strength.Mitsui Keiko is not the heir of the family, but she is in an important position in the group because of her excellence.

She is over 30 years old, wearing a suit, with sweet and decent makeup, and greeted Qinghe: "Mr. Qing, I am entrusted by your brother Feng Jun. I hope you can enjoy your trip in Tokyo."

Qinghe had only met Miss Mitsui once before, and was not familiar with her.

The Feng family's family business is very large and has a very wide network of people, but Qinghe does not have the blood of the Feng family and has no inheritance rights, so he has no contact with the Feng family's business at all, nor has he entered the social circle of the Feng family's business field , know very few people.

The last time Qinghe saw this Miss Mitsui, he was also here to attend the jewelry exhibition, accompanied by Feng Zhou. This Miss Mitsui was on a business trip, and hurried back to Tokyo just to entertain Feng Zhou.

Even though Qinghe was very obsessed with emotional matters at that time, she could see that Miss Mitsui was very interested in Feng Zhou, and was even willing to come back to Tokyo for him, just to see him.

If Ms. Mitsui didn't wear makeup, her appearance would be that of a typical Japanese woman, not too beautiful but not ugly. After makeup, she could be called a beauty.

But even after putting on make-up, she stood next to Feng Zhou, who had a very outstanding appearance and an excellent temperament, and she was immediately set off into a lackluster appearance, without any attractiveness.

Regardless of appearance, even though Ms. Mitsui has outstanding abilities, she is much older than Feng Zhou. Qinghe thinks that Feng Zhou may not fall in love with her, because Feng Zhou seems to have a Chinese man who does not love older than himself Too many women's prejudices.

Qinghe believes that women of all ages have their own unique beauty, so the appreciation of women's beauty is not restricted by age at all, just like the jewelry he designs, he can design suitable for women of different ages. Jewelry, jewelry set off their beauty, but also let them show the beauty of jewelry.

Even so, Qinghe found himself very thankful that Feng Zhou didn't like women older than him.Almost all the outstanding women Feng Zhou met at work were older than him. Many of these women fell in love with Feng Zhou and pursued him rationally, but because of their age, Feng Zhou completely rejected them. outside the door.This is probably the reason why Feng Zhou never had a girlfriend.

Qinghe speculated.

After speculating, facing Ms. Mitsui's polite and considerate reception, he felt deeply disgusted and ashamed.

Miss Mitsui is so good and treats him so well, and the reason is to please his elder brother, but he is glad that Feng Zhou doesn't like Miss Mitsui, probably there will be no more hypocritical and ugly person than him.

Thinking like this, Qinghe thanked Miss Mitsui politely, and said that he had already made a schedule, and now he had to go to meet someone he had made an appointment with, and he could only catch up with Miss Mitsui when he had time later.

Miss Mitsui didn't mind and asked him if he needed a car and driver and other help.

Qinghe said that he had made all these arrangements, and Ms. Mitsui asked later: "When will Jun Feng come? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Last time I was entertained by him in China. I am the host in Tokyo, so I should entertain him. "

Qinghe thought that this should be Ms. Mitsui's intention, he smiled and replied: "My brother has been very busy recently, this time I came to Tokyo, he has no plan to come."

Even though Miss Mitsui was deeply thoughtful, she showed some disappointment at this time.

Qinghe said again: "Miss Mitsui next time you come to China, please let us entertain you again."

After Keiko Mitsui left, Qinghe took Teacher Lu Wenlu to go to Teacher Kajikawa's studio.

The bodyguard Chen Feng went to rent a car, and Qinghe got into the car surrounded by everyone and left the hotel.

Kajikawa Norio's studio is a low-rise building near the suburbs. When Kiyokazu arrived, the staff in the production room of the studio were busy working.

Kajikawa Noriyuki loves diamonds, but his studio does not have the conditions to cut diamonds, only inlaid diamonds. The diamonds he uses are still cut by other diamond processing companies according to his requirements.

As a consultant to several top diamond companies, he has access to the best quality and best cut diamonds.

The diamonds used in Qinghe's jewelry are also high-quality goods obtained through the company introduced by Kajikawa Noriyuki.

Kajikawa Noriko was very happy to see Qinghe, and took him into the design office.

It was close to the end of get off work in the afternoon, but everyone in the design room was still hard at work.

Noriyuki Kajikawa is in his 60s, his hair is gray, he has grown a beard, and the beard is also gray, but he looks very kind.

Qinghe knew several designers in the studio, and bowed to say hello to them: "Mr. Fukuda, Mr. Sanno, Ms. Kajikawa..."

Kajikawa Noriyuki's studio is not big, and he only accepts high orders. In addition to technical craftsmen and designers, his total staff here does not exceed 30 people at most, and his resident designers here are only three. One is Norio Kajikawa himself, and Hiroshi Fukuda and Naoko Kajikawa who have never gone out alone.Both are designers with their own design style, and their own logo will be engraved on the finished jewelry.Also has a certain reputation in the industry.

The other designers are the disciples inside, follow them to learn, and perfect the drawings, etc., they are designers without authorship.

Qinghe used to study and practice here, just like these designers who were his disciples.

Qinghe has studied painting for more than ten years. Although jewelry design and painting have some similarities, they are also very different.

Jewelry design is a big subject. Design concept is only one aspect. It is also necessary to understand how to match and deal with various materials of jewelry, and to be familiar with the production process of jewelry.In this way, after the design is completed, the craftsman who made it can make it.

In the early days of Qinghe, he liked to draw design drawings by hand. In the later period, he got used to using a computer, so the design drawings were more often produced by computer, and then matched with hand-drawn manuscripts.

After Qinghe greeted him, most of the designers in the studio put down their work and got up to say hello to him.

Especially Sanye Jun, he walked to Qinghe's side and raised his hand to lightly touch Qinghe's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You didn't tell us first that you were coming."

Kiyawazu can only speak simple Japanese, and uses English when communicating with Kajikawa Noriyuki, but he rarely communicates with the staff in the studio who are not fluent in English.

Qinghe had no choice but to apologize to Sanyejun, and said: "I decided to come early on a temporary basis, so I didn't have time to talk to Sanye-kun. I'm really sorry."

Sanye Juncai is in his 20s, a graduate student in the Academy of Fine Arts, and he is an introductory student under Norio Kajikawa. Compared to being in the Academy of Fine Arts, he spends most of his time in Norio Kajikawa's studio.

Sanye Jun said: "You talk to the teacher first, and we go to drink after talking."

Qinghe agreed, and followed Kajikawa Norino into his dedicated studio.

Mr. Lu followed Qinghe into the studio, and Qinghe introduced Mr. Lu to Noriyuki Kajikawa again, saying that he opened a low-end jewelry store selling online, and Mr. Lu Wen was the manager of his company.This time I brought Mr. Lu Wen here. Lu Wen is here to negotiate a few business deals, including suppliers of pearls, diamonds, and gold.

As a jewelry designer, Norio Kajikawa is more an artist than a businessman.

It can even be said that he is not a successful businessman at all.

His design works have even been designed in another way that he thinks is the best regardless of the wishes of customers. Although the work he designed and produced did make the sapphire show the most beautiful state, but the woman The customer was so angry that they cursed, and the two finally broke up.

So he is famous, but his haute couture studio has not done much, and he only accepts orders that meet his own wishes, and does not accept orders from upstart customers who have no aesthetics but point fingers.

Although he himself is a jewelry design artist, he does not criticize Qinghe to be a jewelry businessman full of copper smell.

He even made suggestions for Qinghe, detailing which high-end materials he knows are good and the price is reasonable, and which low-end and mid-end materials are good and cheap, but he still doesn’t like online sales, saying: " Jewelry still needs to be sold in physical stores.”

Qing He said: "The Internet is a broad channel. Customers from all over the world can see it online. If they need to see the real goods, we will also open a physical store and welcome customers to come to our door. Teacher, I think that in the future, the Internet will Stores will become mainstream."

Kajikawa Norizhi didn't want to talk about the online store with him, and asked about the works he was going to exhibit, Lu Wen handed over the two small safes in his hand to Qinghe, Qinghe opened the safe on the table, inside was a jewelry box, and put the The box was taken out and opened on the table.

The first set is a necklace, earrings, and rings composed of emerald, diamonds, and platinum, named "Light of the Soul" by Qinghe. This set of jewelry is top-notch in terms of materials and craftsmanship.

Under the bright light in the office, the imperial green jadeite of the Laokeng glass species presents a glistening green color, which is even more magnificent against the backdrop of perfectly cut diamonds.

Qinghe sent the blueprints and photos to Noriyuki Kajikawa for a look. At this time, they are real objects. Nooriyuki Kajikawa has seen a lot of priceless jewelry. Seeing this set of emerald, diamond and platinum jewelry, the beauty of this kind of jewelry is still revealed. The color of enjoyment that hits.

Even Noriyuki Kajikawa had to lament that Qinghe's family was a large industrial group, so he couldn't afford the cost of raw materials for these top jewelry.Even for the world's most famous jewelry companies, it is hard to come across the top materials if they want to get them. It's just that the probability of encountering and finding and buying them is higher than that of other companies and people.

The first set is jewelry, and the second is an ornament, which Qinghe named "Love".

Jealousy is born of love, and ugly because of jealousy.

But this ornament is not ugly, but very impactful.

It consists of a large piece of red coral as the main body. The lower part of the red coral is in the shape of a peach in the heart. It is as bright red as a drop of blood. Sapphire, sapphire is beautiful, but it looks like a tumor in the heart.

The bottom part of the heart is diamond, emerald, amethyst, hair crystal, citrine and so on.

After these materials are cut, they are inlaid together to form small feather shapes of various colors, which reflect the light and make the lower part show a gorgeous color, just like a vivid heart surrounded by colorful angel wings, but the center of the heart is born. Tumor.

This ornament and the materials on it are all of high value. From the perspective of Kajikawa Ji, it is the style of Qinghe.In addition to liking the gentleness of jade, Qinghe likes to pursue the strong collision of colors. From this point of view, Qinghe is a very gentle, gentle, polite and considerate person because of his family education, but his nature is very restless, chasing excitement, and With the arrogance and recklessness of spending a lot of money in the bones of the aristocratic family.

So Kajikawa Norizhi and Qinghe are completely different. He loves Qinghe's aura genius, but there is no way to accept him as a disciple.

After seeing Qinghe's works, Noriyuki Kajikawa said, "You have put your heart into these two works, so you might come out on top."
