Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 132
After I went back to clean up and deal with the matter at hand, I flew directly from Haicheng to Wushi.

Airport lounge.

Before the plane took off, Qin Luo called Qiu Jingqi and asked him to introduce a local boss and lead the way.

The jade market is like this:

First-hand materials are basically monopolized by channels and internally digested, especially the most advanced materials, ordinary people want to buy them, even if they have money.

Only second-hand and inferior materials will appear in the local jade auction center, and the buyer with the highest price will win.

The third-hand ones appear in distribution centers, grand bazaars and other places.

The rest are some "retail investors" and "jade workers" who got the materials from various channels.

There may be boutiques among them.

But after screening layer by layer, the fish that slipped through the net are already very few.

Then five hands, six hands, seven hands...

Appeared in jade trading centers in major cities.

The industrial chain is like this.

It is very mature now.

In fact, big cities all over the country, especially first-tier cities, have Hetian jade trading centers.

However, Qin Luo really has no feelings for high-rise buildings.

And I don't want to be a big injustice and pay a high price.

He wanted to see the deserted Gobi.

I also want to see the green grassland.

I want to walk through mountains and rivers.

I also want to blow the northwest wind.

Especially with Sister Cha.

Let us be companions in the world of mortals, live chic and unrestrained, ride horses and gallop, and share the prosperity of the world.

at this time.

Talking to Qiu Jingqi.

"Oh, you didn't say it earlier, I just went there two months ago. When I was in Pengcheng, I just came back."

"However, it's just right to go in this season. The scenery is the most beautiful. It's a pity that I can't take care of it. Otherwise, I will definitely accompany you to see it."

"Hey, by the way, next month, the Gusu Luzigang Cup Jade Sculpture Grand Prix is ​​about to start. Aren't you going to sign up? Participate?"

"This competition is still very important, and the gold medal every year will become famous in one fell swoop."

Qiu Jingqi said so.

These words moved Qin Luo slightly.

Qin Luo didn't know why this kind of competition, because he had no interest in it before.

Maybe still too proud.

I feel...why let others judge my own work?
Moreover, he always felt that whenever there was a game, there would be shady scenes.

All kinds of nasty things are troublesome to think about, so I simply don't go.

Anyway, I don't point to this to eat.

With the Internet, fame is not a problem.

However, now, among these words, the word "Lu Zigang Cup" moved me the most.

Gusu City, the birthplace of Zigang jade.

After thinking about it, Qin Luo still said: "I'll send a piece of work later, and you can help me enter the competition, okay?"

Cloud competition.

It's just so comfortable.

It makes sense.

Qiu Jingqi: ...

"No, I'm a judge. Hahaha..."

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

A bit self-deprecating, and vaguely embarrassing.

He felt that his own strength was actually not as good as Qin Luo's.

However, Qin Luo's qualifications and reputation are too shallow.

Qin Luo: ...

Speechless for a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, then let's talk about it when the time comes, you can help me set up a line in Urumqi first."

Qiu Jingqi immediately nodded in agreement.

"Go to Teacher Li, Li Guoqin, now the vice chairman of the Hetian Jade Market Information Center Alliance, and a famous jade carving expert, my old friend, I'll give him a call later."

"But this person likes to drink, and he drinks a lot. He also likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He always pretends that he can't drink, and likes to get his guests drunk. You have to take it easy."

"Of course, he has no bad intentions."

As soon as he was introduced, he was a giant.

When Qin Luo looked up information on the Internet just now, he saw this person's name.

There are many titles and honors.

"Okay, I see, thank you very much."

Qin Luo hung up the phone.

Before the plane took off, Qiu Jingqi sent another message. It was a phone call and a WeChat business card. He said that he could just contact him directly.

……

Across most of the country, in the evening, the plane arrived over Urumqi.

The time showed that it was past seven o'clock.

However, the sky outside is still bright, like four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

After asking, I immediately realized that there was jet lag.

Here, it gets dark at night in summer, maybe after ten o'clock, or even eleven o'clock.

This land is vast and rich in resources.

Qin Luo couldn't help but smile slightly.

As soon as the plane landed and the phone was turned on, Qin Luo saw that this Li Guoqin had sent a text message, saying that there was no dinner arranged for tonight, and he was waiting for you, and someone had already been sent to the airport to pick him up.

Qin Luo: ...

Very enthusiastic.

Li Guoqin didn't come over in person, but sent someone.

After talking on the phone, they walked out of the airport, got into the car, and headed towards the city under the leadership of the driver.

"Hey, there is actually a road here called Xihong Road."

Sitting in the back row, when they arrived in the urban area, Sister Cha saw a road sign and couldn't help whispering to Qin Luo.

When she came out to play, she was also in a happy mood.

Qin Luo also saw it, and laughed: "Where is Wang Duoyu? Let's go find him."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The driver in front didn't say anything, the car was driving very fast, like drag racing, all kinds of sudden brakes, overtaking...

Although this is a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it made Qin Luo feel like a sports car.

But, it seems that all the cars on the road drive like this.

Qin Luo didn't say anything, but felt a surge in his heart.

To know……

This is the largest province in the country, occupying one-sixth of the country's land area.

Even if you drive for a day, you may not be able to pass through the entire province. After all, it is two to three thousand kilometers long.

I guess... that's how it came out of practice.

One side raises one person.

……

Li Guoqin's welcome dinner was set in a box of a five-star hotel.

The hard dish comes up, roasted whole lamb.

There are also a few friends who accompany me.

Wine is a local specialty, Yilite.

He looked like a man from the Northwest, tall and strong, without a beard, but with a rosacea. He was cheerful and enthusiastic, and the hospitality was very thoughtful.

He even brought Qin Luo a meeting gift.

Qin Luo glanced at it, it was a piece of seed material.

Hetian jade with black and yellow skin, with an oily color, is not very good, it can only be regarded as medium, not large, and the market price is several thousand yuan.

There are too many hands, and it may be sold for tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

"I picked this up when I went to the Grand Bazaar a few days ago. Hahaha, it only cost 500 yuan. Brother Qin came from a long way, so I will give this piece of jade to you. The gift is light and the affection is heavy, hahaha... We are all friends, don't refuse."

Li Guoqin said with a smile.

This made Qin Luo feel a little embarrassed.

I was in a hurry to go out, and I was on a plane, so I packed lightly and didn't bring any gifts.

How about waiting for the next order to buy?

But... it doesn't seem appropriate.

After all, they are the hosts.

With a thought, Qin Luo had an idea.

While the sheep was still roasting, it was estimated that it would take half an hour, and the food was not served, so Qin Luo casually took out the Kunwu knife from his bag.

"This jade is really good, it makes my hands itchy just looking at it..."

"Why don't I create it on the spot and Brother Li give me pointers?"

Qin Luo smiled casually.

Li Guoqin's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed interest. He glanced at the time: "The sheep is estimated to take five to ten minutes, can it be made?"

"You said it yourself. If you can't do it, you will be punished with alcohol."

Qin Luo pursed his lips and smiled.

"enough."

I'm fast.

Do everything fast.
