"Why?" Yao Shigu asked suspiciously, "Although the lightning strike wood is good, its value is definitely not as good as that of glass jadeite. Did you use any new techniques?"
Xia Yan said: "There are no new techniques, but Master, just listen to me, the price of this thing is ten or twenty times higher than the jade staff..."
"What?" Yao Shigu was taken aback, and interrupted Xia Yan, "Xiao Yan, this jade staff is made of glass, and the material alone is worth half a million. The price is 1.5 million, so is this lightning strike wooden ornament worth 20 to 30 million? Are you kidding me?"
"Absolutely not..." Xia Yan was about to explain when there was a knock on the workshop door.
"Grandpa, Master Xia, Mr. Yue is here." Yao Ting said.
"Please wait a moment." Yao Shigu responded.
"Xiao Yan, this is your first business. The future development of Yi Dao Liu depends entirely on you!" Yao Shigu patted Xia Yan on the shoulder and said with a big smile.
In fact, this is really not the first business deal, Xia Yan thought in his heart. It's just that although the two requiem talismans for the first order were still worth one million yuan in the end, the asking price was too low at the beginning, so he was embarrassed to tell Yao Shigu.
Jiang Wenchuan, Yue Lun and Annie sat down in the reception room, Yao Ting brought tea, and after a while, Yao Shigu and Xia Yan came over.
"Grandpa Yao!" Jiang Wenchuan hurriedly stood up.
"Xiao Jiang is here, take a seat." Yao Shigu greeted him with a smile, but he was not very enthusiastic. It's no wonder he was enthusiastic about this person who wanted to date his little granddaughter. The senior brother said to let Xia Yan choose one of the two granddaughters. Before Xia Yan chooses one, no one else can make this idea.
If Jiang Wenchuan knew that Yao Shigu had this kind of thinking, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Old Yao, hello, my name is Yue Lun, and this is my secretary Annie!" Yue Lun also stood up and introduced himself.
"Please sit down, both of you." Yao Shigu greeted them.
"Xia Yan, we meet again." Jiang Wenchuan extended his hand to Xia Yan with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, hello." Xia Yan smiled and shook hands with him.
"What... what?" Yue Lun and Annie were about to sit down when they heard Jiang Wenchuan's words and jumped up like an electric shock.
"He... he is Master Xia Yanxia?" Yue Lun pointed at Xia Yan and shouted in disbelief.
"I am Xia Yan." Xia Yan said.
"Xia Yan, the master of Yidao Style?" Yue Lun asked.
"It's guaranteed to be a fake one." Xia Yan smiled wryly. He didn't want to be so high-profile, but Yao Shigu was determined to make the one-knife style regain its glory, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
"Are you kidding?" Annie exclaimed, "Didn't you mean Master Xia? Why are you so young? Mr. Yue, they are obviously liars!"
"Annie!" Yue Lun's expression changed, and he suddenly growled in a low voice. If Jiang Wenchuan was not around, he would really stand up and leave, but since this too young "Master Xia" knew Jiang Wenchuan, if he really left, it would probably be tantamount to offending Jiang Wenchuan, offending Tonghai Jiang for 300,000 yuan People at home are definitely not worth it.
"I also ask Master Xia to engrave a book collection seal for me!" Yue Lun stretched out his hand, and Annie took out a box from her bag aggrievedly. After opening it, inside was a roughly rectangular parallelepiped golden stone, about the size of an ordinary official seal , It is the famous Tian Huangshi.
Three hundred thousand is nothing to Yue Lun, but this piece of Tian Huangshi is not easy to come by, which makes him a little bit reluctant to let the so-called "Master Xia" ruin it. But Yao Shigu endorsed Xia Yan, and Jiang Wenchuan also knew Xia Yan, so he would not change his words and go back on his word.
"Xia Yan is indeed the current head of my one-knife style. Mr. Yue will not regret it." Yao Shigu was not angry. It was expected that Xia Yan would be questioned, and it is easy to fight back. What comes out is good enough.
"Carve your own name?" Xia Yan picked up Tian Huangshi, checked it for a while, and asked how to engrave it when he already had an idea in his mind.
"No." Yue Lun shook his head and handed over a piece of paper, "This is the name."
He was planning to give a gift, and that person had a special status, so he couldn't disclose his name to others at will. And here, Jiang Wenchuan is undoubtedly "the other person". Although he wanted to curry favor with Jiang Wenchuan, Yue Lun still didn't dare to let Jiang Wenchuan know that he wanted to give that person a gift.
direction east? Xia Yan glanced at the name on the paper, and couldn't help feeling that the world is so small.
Giving the mayor the valuable Tian Huangshi seal is undoubtedly a bribe, but it has a cloak of literati and elegance, which makes it less stinky.
He thought Xiang Dong was a good official, but he was no different from other corrupt officials.
Xia Yan shook his head, and didn't have much emotion. Even if something happened, he didn't have any special feelings for Xiang Dong, he was nothing more than an insignificant passerby. Business is business, and Yue Lun still has to make money.
"Wait a minute, half an hour will be fine." Xia Yan left a sentence, turned around, left the reception room, and returned to the work room.
"Old Yao, what does Master Xia mean by half an hour?" Yue Lun was stunned and couldn't help asking.
"Mr. Yue will get the seal in half an hour." Yao Shigu sat on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, with a calm and breezy look.
"Half an hour...can it be finished?" Yue Lun's expression changed, "Old Yao, I don't just carve characters!"
"Of course!" Yao Shigu looked at him strangely, "Xia Yan will naturally carve it into the most suitable shape according to the shape of the material. Mr. Yue doesn't have to worry about that."
"But isn't half an hour a bit short?" Yue Lun felt that he might have fallen into a pit. For a precious material like Tianhuangshi, it took more than half an hour just to think about how to engrave it, right? It's not surprising to think about it for a few days.
Not to mention the effort required for engraving, how could it be possible to produce the finished product in less than two days after each process
half an hour? Street engraving is not so fast, is it
"For Xia Yan, it is enough." Yao Shigu took a sip of tea, with a confident smile on his face, he turned his head and said, "Xiao Ting, go to the workshop and bring the work that Xiao Yan just finished."
"Okay." Yao Ting nodded, turned and went out.
"Xia... Master Xia just finished the work?" Yue Lun asked quickly, "Old Yao, can I have a look?"
"Of course." Yao Shigu said with a smile, "It was meant to be placed in the store. If Mr. Yue likes it, he might as well buy it back."
"Xia Yan, grandpa asked me to get the thing you carved just now." Xia Yan just opened the door of the workshop, before entering, Yao Ting hurriedly called him.
"Okay, sister Ting, come in." Xia Yan said.
"Xia Yan, have you given away the Jade Buddha you engraved?" Yao Ting asked suddenly after following Xia Yan.
"Give it away." Xia Yan said.
"Oh..." Yao Ting paused, then asked again, "Does she like it?"
"Should like it." Xia Yan said conservatively, Liu Xueer didn't like it, but liked it very much, but to be honest, he was suspected of pretending to be x, and his skin was not that thick.
"Oh..." Yao Ting's tone was a little inexplicably lost, and she asked again, "Is she your girlfriend?"
"Not yet." Xia Yan subconsciously said honestly.
"Oh!" Yao Ting's tone fluctuated, and the word "return" revealed Xia Yan's thoughts. Not now, maybe in the future, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
