God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 137 Don't Tease Me

Xu Jingxing's face was full of black lines. This old man Zhu is good at everything, but he likes to take in apprentices, which makes him avoid it a little bit. He had a hard time coping with it in Xu Zhikang's furniture factory before, but now he brought up this matter again in a blink of an eye. In order to accept him as an apprentice, he did not hesitate to take such a valuable Shoushan Stone.

He has also checked the relevant information of Shoushan Stone in the past few days, especially the market conditions of Shoushan Stone carving works, and he has a general understanding.According to his estimation, this piece of Shoushan stone can be sold for more than 100 million yuan. If it is carved into a finished product, the price can be doubled several times.

Because this piece of Shoushan stone is not only of color, but also of a large size. It looks like a lying calf on the ground, and it looks like it weighs more than 100 catties.Among the original stones of Shoushan Stone, there are not many such big ones, but there are really not many; and big ones with little color, I dare not say that they are unique, and they are quite rare.

Someone asked, such a big piece with such good quality, why did it sell for over one million yuan?

As I said before, Shoushan stone is a large variety with many categories. Tianhuang stone and Shuikeng stone are the most valuable. Relatively speaking, alpine stone with a relatively large output is not so expensive.When Shoushan Stone was the most popular, it might still be very valuable, but after the market returned to rationality, the price also fell sharply.

The most important reason is that there is a kind of root Shoushan stone that is very similar, and even the same type of Laotian stone has been developed by people.Under the impact of Laotian stone, the price of newly mined alpine materials has been falling all the way, and no one wants the general quality even if it is sold by the catty.

That is to say, the texture and color of this piece are very good, so it can be sold for more than 100 million. If the texture is a little worse, it may be about 50 million; if the color is worse, it can only be sold for about [-].

Therefore, in the final analysis, it still depends on the quality. Really good things will never be out of date, let alone depreciate, and will only become more and more valuable as time goes by.

But in order to accept him as an apprentice, old man Zhu even took such a top-quality Shoushan stone that was destined not to depreciate, so he didn't know what to say.

Of course, he felt a bit honored to be valued so much by old man Zhu, as ordinary people could not fall into the eyes of old man Zhu.

It's a pity that he didn't have that ambition, so he could only refuse again, "Master, please forgive me, I'm really not made for martial arts."

"Who said that? Although you are a little too old to practice martial arts now, you are very talented, really," the old man Zhu was unwilling, and rolled his eyes, "I plan to pass on all the kung fu of the bottom of the box to you. .”

"No, you'd better find a little doll and start from scratch. I still have to support my family. I really don't have time to practice boxing with you."

"Oh, what a pity, why is it so difficult to accept an apprentice these days," old man Zhu sighed, and then glanced enviously at the kitchen next door, "Your boy found a good apprentice at a young age." apprentice."

Speaking of his apprentice, Xu Jingxing immediately became proud, "That is."

"Have you drank apprenticeship tea?" Old man Zhu asked resentfully.The so-called teacher apprentice tea is the same as the teacher apprentice banquet. It is a ceremony held when the apprentices are formally accepted in the traditional industry. One is to show solemnity, and the other is to inform the peers. It's just that the meaning is not as deep as it was in ancient times, and it has even become a topic of show or hype in some industries.

Of course, if people like Xu Jingxing and old man Zhu drank the apprentice's apprenticeship tea, they would really treat the apprentice as their own family.

When old man Zhu asked this sentence, most people really didn't understand the deep meaning of it, but for old man Zhu and Xu Jingxing, it was different.If An Xin was an apprentice who had respected Xu Jingxing as a tea teacher, then in the eyes of old man Zhu, An Xin was no longer an ordinary apprentice, but Xu Jingxing's family would treat him on the spot.

Xu Jingxing understood it as soon as he heard it, so he said with a smile: "I haven't drank the teacher's tea, but it is no different from drinking it. I will make up for it when I find time. Then you can give me the honor to be a witness."

"Okay, sure, sure, hahaha," old man Zhu was overjoyed, because being able to invite a witness at the teacher apprenticeship ceremony is also a symbol of status and prestige. The leader or talker.

Anyway, being invited is a relatively long-standing thing.

In modern society, it is rare to see such a show of face. Old man Zhu had only attended a similar occasion with his own master before, but he never had the chance again. Therefore, being invited by Xu Jingxing, he was immediately overjoyed. Son.

But in this way, old man Zhu's attention was successfully diverted by Xu Jingxing, and he did not mention the matter of accepting Xu Jingxing as his apprentice.

Xu Jingxing let out a breath quietly, and brought the topic back to the Shoushan Stone in the corner without any trace, "Uncle Zhu, are you really relieved to let me carve it?"

"Of course, don't worry, I won't let you in. If I let you in, you can let go of your hands and feet and display all your eighteen martial arts."

"Thank you for your love. I'll take this job, but before that, I have to go through the necessary procedures, and I have to sign the entrustment agreement to change it. Your understanding," Xu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Why don't you understand this?" Old man Zhu waited and said, "Think of me as the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules? You can directly ask for any request. You should first be a villain and then a gentleman. This is how to get along well." way of being a human being."

"Hey, it's easy to talk to you all the time," Xu Jingxing smiled, and then stretched out a finger, "I'll take this amount for the salary."

"You're cruel enough, aren't you afraid that I don't have that much money?" Old Man Zhu joked pretending to be angry.

Xu Jingxing also laughed, "Don't tease me. Although I haven't seen any big world, I'm not a stupid kid who doesn't understand anything. The decoration in your house looks low-key and simple, but it's actually different. Ordinary goods, among other things, just the set of lamps on the ceiling of the living room can't be taken off without seventy or eighty thousand."

"Your eyes are poisonous enough, you can see all of this, okay, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, but let me make it clear first, if you ruin this stone, you have to be my apprentice, hold a banquet and kowtow The kind that worships tea and apprentices," old man Zhu brought the subject back.

Xu Jingxing nodded dumbfoundingly, "You're flattering me too much, but you've already mentioned this, and if I don't agree, I'll feel sorry for myself, but it's impossible for you to secretly break the stone yourself just to make me apprentice Ah, I don't recognize that."

"Ah? I just thought about it for a while, and you guessed it?" Old man Zhu had a surprised and inexplicable expression on his face.
