585 Not enough time(1/2)
White jade with mutton fat is extremely rare. Those small pieces may be more common, but if they are large pieces, they will be sky-high.
Tang Ming and his disciples have been studying this industry for many years, how could they not know about mutton fat white jade?
Now that Long Ziling said it from her mouth, everyone immediately couldn't believe it.
"I think it's just a small piece of jade. The carving of this small piece of jade is worth coming to my master? Just find someone." Zhang Yunfei said a little disdainful.
Zhou Wen's clothes look like he is not a rich man. Rich people who play with jade are very tasteful. How could such a local bun take out any high-end jade?
Zhang Yunfei wanted to show off in front of Long Ziling, but he happened to catch the opportunity.
"Zi Ling, are you sure it is Hotan mutton fat white jade?" Tang Ming also felt a little unbelievable.
"I'm sure." Long Ziling said lightly.
This piece of jade was taken from Gu Liangyun's territory, and it will definitely not be fake.
"How old?" Tang Ming asked.
As a top carving master, all he has passed by are large pieces of jade, and very few small pieces of jade.
Unless the small pieces of jade are of the best quality, the rest is not worth his action.
"It's quite big, at least a few hundred grams." Long Ziling said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunfei sneered and said, "A few hundred grams, are you a cabbage as white jade in mutton fat?"
"Master, I have conducted special investigations before. Now the products sold on the market do not have the quality of mutton fat white jade of more than a few hundred grams. As far as I heard, I only have one in Baofu Antique City in Guliangyun.
This thing is just a gimmick and has not been sold to the public at all." Zhang Yunfei turned and said seriously.
After saying that, Zhang Yunfei looked at Zhou Wen and Long Ziling.
"Two, my master never acts casually. It would be too unwise for you to lie like this in order to ask my master to take action. Why don't you leave here quickly while my master is not angry yet!" Zhang Yunfei scolded angrily.
He was like a righteous person, as if he was upholding justice.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhou Wen's face and he immediately stood up.
He didn't intend to say anything more. This time the matter was completely left to Long Ziling to take charge, but now it seems that there are noisy people everywhere.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Zhou Wen said coldly, putting the wooden box in his hand on the cabinet.
The box contains mutton fat jade.
"What? Do you still think you really have white jade with mutton fat?" Zhang Yunfei sneered.
"What if I took it out?" Zhou Wen said coldly.
"If you take it out, I will apologize to you on the spot!" Zhang Yunfei said proudly.
He didn't believe that Zhou Wen could take out the so-called white jade of mutton fat.
Such a top-quality jade weighs hundreds of grams, and it is absolutely impossible for this boy to appear in the hands of this boy.
Tang Ming also shook his head and said, "Zi Ling, if you ask me to take action, it's OK, but it's wrong to lie."
"Master Tang, we really have a piece of white jade with mutton fat." Long Ziling said anxiously.
Zhou Wen waved his hand and chuckled, "Since everyone doesn't believe it, I'll just take it out."
"Ears are false, and eyes are true, but Zhang Yunfei, you have to keep your word." Zhou Wen said lightly.
Zhang Yunfei's face changed slightly. Zhou Wen's performance was so calm that he felt a little upset.
But at this moment, he could not weaken his momentum, and he still said stubbornly: "If you have the ability, take it out!"
Zhou Yi held it on the wooden box and said slowly: "Master Tang, I came here this time to ask you to carve a few jade pieces for me. How could I fool it with ordinary jade!"
Tang Ming's eyes changed and he was also looking forward to it.
He hasn't seen white jade with mutton fat in many years.
With Zhou Wen's hand movements, the wooden box slowly opened, and a piece of white jade immediately appeared in front of everyone.
This piece of jade is larger than an adult's fist, and it is estimated that it will definitely weigh hundreds of grams in the past!
The appearance of this jade is obviously an uncarved raw stone, the color is like the fat of a lamb, and it is also the origin of the name of mutton fat jade.
As soon as this piece of jade came out, everyone's face changed drastically.
Tang Ming walked a few steps and ran to Yushi with a look of surprise.
"It's really white mutton fat! It's still so big!" Tang Ming exclaimed, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, but hurriedly took it back.
If the jade of such a good quality is broken, it will be done!
You don’t need to look carefully, you can confirm at a glance that this is Hotan mutton fat white jade!
"How is that possible!" Zhang Yunfei said in disbelief.
"The only one in the entire Shanghai market is Baofu. How could you have white jade with mutton fat!" Zhang Yunfei shouted.
Zhou Wen chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, my jade was taken from Baofu Antiques City."
As soon as the words came to a dead silence, everyone's eyes at Zhou Wen changed.
"Mr. Zhou's jade was presented by Mr. Gu Liangyun." Long Ziling added.
In an instant, shock flashed in the eyes of those disciples.
They already know Long Ziling's identity, the director of Longteng Group and Long Sheng's real sister.
But she actually called Zhou Wen Mr. Zhou!
Moreover, this piece of jade was transported to Zhou Wen by Gu Liang.
Everyone is in this industry. Who doesn’t know that Gu Liangyun is extremely stingy and can be said to be a waste of money. If you want to buy things from him, you can give him something, but it is absolutely impossible to let him give something!
Who is Zhou Wen? He could actually let Gu Liang transport him a piece of white jade with mutton fat.
"Yun Fei, why don't you apologize to others!" Tang Ming immediately scolded.
Even though Zhang Yunfei was reluctant, he stood up.
"I'm sorry!" Zhang Yunfei bowed.
Zhou Wen’s identity is definitely not as simple as it seems, and such a person cannot be easily offended.
"Master Tang, let's talk about specific things." Zhou Wen ignored the matter and said directly.
A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Yunfei's face, and then he covered it up.
"Please come from the two." Tang Mingtai raised his hand and said.
The direction of his finger was his workroom.
"Please." Zhou Wen smiled and walked past.
Tang Ming solemnly held the jade in his arms, for fear of breaking it.
The workshop is in a house on the first floor, and there is a shadowless lamp inside, which has no shadow when it shines.
There are various equipment inside, and some tools are placed on the tables around.
The equipment includes horizontal machines and soft shaft machines, which are used to carve jade.
There was an object made of gold on the table. Zhou Wen glanced at him and looked at him with a look of approval.
The object was surrounded by thirty-three gold threads, forming an exquisite pattern that was not something that ordinary masters could make.
The filigree gold thread that Tang Ming mentioned before is this object.
"There is no difference between gold and jewelry. If you want to make jewelry, you can only work hard on craftsmanship." Tang Ming explained.
Tang Ming put on gloves, took out the jade from the wooden box, and placed it on the silk cloth on the table.
"If you want to carve jade, you must first look at the quality of the jade, then design the appearance of the carving, then design the steps and plans of the carving, and finally start." Tang Ming said slowly.
"Master Tang, I plan to give this jade to girls as a gift after it is made. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" Zhou Wen asked patiently.
He has no experience in this industry and needs to ask his seniors.
Tang Ming carefully tapped the light on the jade, looked at it for a long time and said, "For girls, it is better to use jade bracelets and jade pendants. This jade is just as big as it can be made of both things."
He is experienced and can make a judgment after taking a few glances.
If you want to carve jade, you must also judge based on the materials of the jade itself.
If the jade is too small, it may only be made into small beads. If it is large, the operational space will be large.
Zhou Wen was also happy when he heard this. He had already had some thoughts in his heart, but he had no chance to realize them.
"Master Tang, then please carve a jade bracelet and a jade pendant for me." Zhou Wen said slowly.
As for labor costs, it is not within his consideration.
What's wrong with giving gifts to Su Qin? Even millions of jade have been given, and they still care about the processing fee.
Zhang Yunfei and a group of disciples stood around, looking envious.
Although they were Tang Ming's disciples, they did not make a big deal to use millions of jade carvings as gifts. If there were such things, their first choice was to keep them first.
"This jade is of good quality, perfect color, and can be carved in many directions. What do you want to carve?" Tang Ming asked.
