Billionaire shocks the world with his bad behavior
Chapter 159 Jade Conference Invitation
Jade carving master Su Jin is a figure who only exists in legends. Each of the jade works she carves seems to be natural, and fully embodies the warmth and beauty of jade. It would be impossible to achieve this without a certain amount of experience.
Instead of asking Jin Mingxin to believe that Su Jin was the legendary jade carving master, he might as well believe his general manager, since at least their ages matched.
"Since you are running a jade carving business, if you don't have some real skills, it will ruin the reputation of Jade City."
Jin Mingxin sneered and drank the tea in the cup.
"The Jade City Jade Conference is coming soon. Let Mingzhou send an invitation letter to the jade carver Pushe to invite her to participate in the Jade Cup."
The Jade Cup is a grand event held every three years in Jade City.
It is divided into three parts. One is the raw stone trade fair, where jade merchants from all over the country will gather in Jade City and take this opportunity to buy their favorite raw stones. It will also attract many tourists and can be regarded as a means to promote the economy.
The second part is a blind auction. According to the number of the original stone, you give a price you think is appropriate. The one with the highest bid wins. The one who chooses the jade opened on the spot with the highest value will be awarded the title of the king of gambling stones.
Even though it's just a title, the meaning and connections behind it are what jade merchants are flocking to.
The third part is the jade carving competition that Jin Mingxin asked Pushe to participate in.
The jade carving competition is divided into two rounds. The first round is the preliminary test, where the Jade Association provides the jade and jade carvers design and carve. The top ten candidates qualify for the final test.
The jade for the final test is prepared by the contestants themselves. There is no limit to the quality of the jade. You can prepare three pieces of jade just in case. You only need to submit the jade carving that you are most satisfied with.
Professional judges will be invited to make the judgments, and spectators watching the competition will also have the right to vote. Although it only accounts for 10% of the total score, it is also very important.
After all, the eyes of the masses are discerning.
The jade carver who wins first place in the jade carving competition will be the most sought-after figure in the next three years, before the next Jade Cup.
All works of the number one jade carver will be snapped up and worth a fortune.
Shen Lisu was not surprised when she received the invitation to the Jade Cup.
In other words, since she chose the name Su Jin and the identity of jade carver, she must have known that this day would come.
"Boss, do you really want to participate in this jade carving competition?"
Xue Yin showed worry. Although she knew that Shen Lisu was very capable, she had never seen her actually carve any works, so she was really unsure.
"Don't worry, boss, I won't destroy the reputation of Pushe."
It will not damage Su Jin's reputation.
Speaking of which, when she was young and famous in the jade industry under the name Su Jin, she never thought that this day would come.
It is also another form of foresight and preparation for a rainy day.
"However, I have to think about what to do with this jade I brought with me."
Although Shen Lisu has not learned about the developments in the jade carving industry for many years, she has no intention of underestimating the enemy.
If she wants to become famous again, she must hit the mark and win first place in the jade carving competition.
While craftsmanship is important, the choice of jade is also important.
The structural form of the jade itself and the infiltration and fusion of the jade color will bring different colors to the work.
Only top-grade jade, combined with top-grade craftsmanship, can create the most soulful works.
"If all else fails, I'll take advantage of the Jade Cup event to find a good piece of jade."
Shen Lisu touched her chin, clapped her hands, and made such a hasty decision.
It's just like cramming for an exam and buying stationery just before entering the exam hall.
Having said that, Shen Lisu is still a good kid who takes the competition seriously.
"I heard that in addition to the Jade Family, the Jin Family, and the Jade Association, there is also a master of the Ghost Market in Jade City. All shady transactions are conducted through the Ghost Market, and after a series of operations, they are rationalized."
Before coming to Yucheng, Shen Lisu did her homework. Thanks to Spider who worked tirelessly to help her collect information, otherwise she would not have been able to grasp the situation in Yucheng in such a short time.
"Boss, do you want to go to the ghost market to find suitable jadeite?"
Xue Yin was also very curious about the rumored ghost market. She thought that such ghost markets only existed in novels. Did they really exist?
"Don't you know that you need a pass to enter the ghost market?"
After all, it is an underground transaction. Both buyers and sellers want to ensure privacy and security, so the entry and exit of the ghost market are strictly controlled.
"No hurry, I'm going to meet someone first."
Shen Lisu handed over the business of Pushe to Xue Yin and Chu Feng, and became a hands-off boss, leaving in a leisurely manner and heading straight for the Antique Street.
There are two important economic blocks in Yucheng, one is Jade Street and the other is Antique Street.
These two blocks are also the ones that are most closely connected to the ghost market, and the shops here are more or less connected to the ghost market.
The person Shen Lisu was looking for was the largest antique dealer in Antique Street, Wei Fengchen.
I have a jug of wine to comfort me.
This person is somewhat similar to the origin of her name, and is an alcoholic.
"You mean you want to taste some good wine that the boss has never tasted before?"
The clerk in Wei Fengchen's shop looked at Shen Lisu without any ill intention. He was incredulous but curious about her outrageous words.
Their boss is a wine lover, and for this reason he has traveled all over the world looking for good wines, and it can be said that he has tasted almost all of them.
Why do I say "almost"? The original intention is to be rigorous.
But I never thought that someone would actually come and say that she wanted to give the boss a taste of wine that she had never tasted before.
"Yes, and I am the only one who can brew this wine."
Xinghui Manor has a huge underground wine cellar. Shen Lisu was curious at the time and was itching to make some wine that did not exist in this world. Of course, she learned this from the world of sadomasochistic novels.
She had been to a fairyland and worshipped the wine fairy as her teacher. She could become an immortal just by drinking. The wonders of the world of wine were beyond the understanding of a drunkard.
Love wine, but don’t be addicted to it.
The wine brewed by the master is not about quantity but quality. Every pot is precious. I can't wait to taste it slowly with a small wine glass and I can't bear to drink it all in one gulp.
Although Shen Lisu's winemaking skills are not as good as her master's, and the world is not enough for her to brew wine that can make people become immortal, but compared to ordinary wine, she is still very confident.
So what she was talking about was not the best wine, but the wine that Wei Fengchen had never tasted before.
"The boss said that if you dare to lie to her, she will make it impossible for you to take a single step in Jade City."
Although Wei Fengchen is not from the Yu family or the Jin family, her identity as the largest antique dealer in Yucheng is enough to attract the attention of the two families.
However, Wei Fengchen has always been a neutral party and has no so-called family behind him, so he has not been involved in the power struggle in Yucheng.
She just likes drinking, how could she have any bad intentions?
"I hope you will appreciate it."
Shen Lisu directly handed the exquisite little wine pot in her hand to the waiter. The amount was probably enough for Wei Fengchen to have two small drinks.
She did not follow him in, but leaned lazily against the door, fanning herself with a jade fan, enjoying the comfortable and refreshing breeze on her face.
"Boss Su, my boss wants to see you."
