My Life Simulator

"That..."

Lu Li calmed down and asked Manager Wu, "How many Masters are there in the jade carving industry?"

"Uh...this..."

Wu The manager thought about it for a while, then hooked the head, "I don't know. I haven't made any specific statistics. There are dozens of famous jade carving masters, right? Not too famous...not so good."

Lu Li Silent.

Damn! The Master of the jade carving industry has become a disaster!

At this point, Lu Li also figured it out. These so-called "Masters" do not represent their "professional titles" or their skills, they are just an honorific title!

Just like the "teacher" in the entertainment industry is flooded, so is the "Master" in the jade carving industry.

Because Lu Li was too young, Manager Wu just called Lu Li "Teacher Lu" instead of "Master", which made Lu Li make a fuss and scared himself. Jump.

It doesn't matter if it's not a real Master!

Lu Li laughed and didn't take these "Master" seriously.

......

Second day, on the Jinzhu Square in the jade stone city of Ruili, the lights were bright and lively.

The "Jade Carving Craft Tournament" jointly organized by the Huaxia Arts and Crafts Association and the Huaxia Jewelry Jade Stone Association officially kicked off.

The practitioners in the jade stone industry from all over the country, representatives from major jewelry jade stone companies, major arts and crafts companies, as well as practitioners in the jade stone industry in Ruili, and countless others watching the fun Tourists and lively local citizens gathered in the square one after another.

"My colleagues and guests."

Chairman Li of Huaxia Jewelry Jade Stone Association, on behalf of the organizing committee, delivered a warm speech.

Afterwards, Chairman Li introduced to the audience the tycoons in the arts and crafts industry and the tycoons in the jade stone industry who served as judges for this competition.

Seeing these great grandfathers in their 60s and 70s, Lu Li thought to himself, these are the real Masters, right?

"Next, let me introduce to you all the jade carving masters who participated in this jade carving craft tournament."

The host enthusiastically introduced you to the audience" Master".

"Famous artist, famous master of arts and crafts, master of Shanghai-style jade carving, Master Zhang Yu from Shanghai! Welcome everyone!"

a jade carving master introduced, each Master There is a series of titles in front of the name.

You are all big guys, only I am the newbie!

When introducing Lu Li, the host got stuck, "Famous young artist, master Lu Li from Beijing!"

Seeing standing up to give Lu Li, who was nodded by the audience, saw that he was too young and too handsome. When the host habitually broke out the honorary title of "Master", he was already stuck.

“Hahahaha…”

The audience also burst into laughter.

Master? Master who is not yet twenty years old?

Lu Li looked helpless. Is it my fault to be young? Is it my fault for being handsome?

This little fellow is also here to participate?

The Masters who participated in the competition were all slightly frowned when they saw that Lu Li was so young.

You're so young to compete? How many jades have you carved?

Huh? etc. The name Lu Li... seems to have heard it somewhere?

"Lu Li is big... This is the first time for Lu Li to participate in the jade carving tournament. However, Lu Li is also very strong. He is a famous young artist. A masterpiece of humanistic spirit."

The host continued to introduce Lu Li's "great strength" to the audience. These materials are all provided by Manager Wu. The only aura that Lu Li can get is this sculpture.

It was him!

Hearing the host's introduction, the participating Masters suddenly thought of who Lu Li was.

The arts and crafts world is still somewhat related. The jade carving masters have also heard of Old Han's final disciple and the news of a sculpture of 40 million yuan.

It's just... a sculptor who actually came to participate in the jade carving tournament? Do you think that if you can fly a helicopter, you can fly a fighter jet?

The participating Masters are just laughed at the arrival of Lu Li. Boy, I hope you won't cry when you cut the material.

After the host introduced the contestants, another leader came to the stage to give a speech.

"This jade carving tournament, adhering to the theme of 'promoting traditional culture and showing the spirit of craftsmen', we will carefully organize, strictly review, and select the best jade carvings with a fair, just and open attitude Craft work."

After the leader finished speaking, the long speech finally ended, and then...theatrical performance!

The Yunnan Provincial Tourism Bureau took this opportunity to organize a cultural performance with local characteristics.

All kinds of beauties in national costumes sang and danced on the stage.

Seeing these beauties singing and dancing, Lu Li remembered a joke.

Some people saw the pictures of the tourism promotion, the innocent girls in national costumes, she was bubbling with beauty. So, he excitedly came to the tourist attractions. Then... he saw that in the tourist attractions, the women in national costumes... all were aunties!

Youth, the pictures are for reference only!

Now these bubbling beautiful ethnic girls on the stage are also propaganda pictures in a sense.

In March, the sun is warm, and the breeze with the fragrance of flowers is lazily blowing. When Lu Li was about to doze off, the lively opening ceremony finally ended.

Have dinner, rest for a while, and select materials on the spot in the afternoon.

……

During the noon break, a judge, great grandfather, called Old Han.

"Old Han, I'm Old Li!"

The judge great grandfather said to Old Han: "I came to Yunnan Province today as a judge of the jade carving tournament, and I saw a man named Lu Li's young man, is he your little discipline?"

"Yeah!"

Old Han laughed, "Old Li, how is my discipline? Not bad. ?"

"Uh... it looks pretty good!"

Judge great grandfather said with a smile: "I said, Lao Han, your discipline is for sculpture Right? How did he come to participate in the jade carving competition?"

"I can also carve jade with my discipline, can't I?"

Old Han replied casually.

"Okay! Why not?"

The judge great grandfather laughed and looked at the head, "Old Han, how old is your recipe? Even if you know jade carving, how many pieces of material has he cut? How dare you let him participate in the jade carving tournament? If the material is cut, who is it?"

"Haha! Old Li, don't underestimate my discipline!"

Old Han hehe smiled, "His craftsmanship is very good!"

"I believe in you! You are an old fogey, very bad!"

Judge great grandfather curl one's lip, "Old Han, do you want your discipline to be gilded? Stop dreaming. Old man has no room for sand. If his craft is not good, don't blame me for vicious and merciless."

"Whatever you want! If he doesn't do well, you can do whatever you want with him."

Old Han laughed happily, "I'm afraid you won't find this opportunity!"

"hmph !Then let's see!"

The judge, great grandfather coldly snorted, hung up the phone.

......

Lu Li didn't know that Old Han had already "made an enemy" for him.

Two and a half days in the afternoon, Lu Li came to the jade stone exhibition hall together with all the jade carving masters who participated in the competition to select materials and jade carving materials on the spot.

This is a well-secured jade stone exhibition hall.

Under the bright lights, pieces of "jade stone" were placed on display racks with thick bulletproof glass.

Can't open the showcase, can't touch the jade stone, can only observe through bulletproof glass.

After all, these jadeite materials are very precious, accidentally damaged, lost, who is it?

When Lu Li walked into the jade stone exhibition hall, he was secretly amazed when he saw these crystal clear and near-transparent jade stones.

Gold is priceless but jade is priceless. In the exhibition hall in front of me, hundreds of large and small jadeite stones are displayed. The value of only jade materials is billions, tens of billions.

Red jade, green jade, chicken oil yellow, Yang green, transparent jade...

Lu Li was dizzying to see all kinds of jadeite stones.

Lu Li did not choose the jade carving material right away, but looked all the way through the entire jade stone exhibition hall. Each piece of jade stone was carefully checked.

The other jade carving masters are similar to Lu Li, and they only look at each piece of jade stone and observe carefully all the way.

Can't touch, the selection of materials depends on eyesight and experience.

Compared with other Masters, Lu Li's experience in material selection is indeed inferior. I have carved jade by myself, and I have only carved it once in Mr. Jiang's company.

So, inexperienced, IQ comes together.

With Lu Li's unforgettable eyesight, after reading a piece of jade stone, he still constructs the complete structure of the whole jade stone in his mind.

Lu Li looked very carefully, seriously and slowly.

Lu Li passed 2/3/2022 only after other jade carving masters had read it in the exhibition hall.

"This is a matter of experience!"

Seeing that Lu Li was at the end alone, Master Zhang Yu from Huhai smiled and looked at the head.

"Actually, it doesn't make much sense whether he sees it or not."

Master Liu from Yangzhou took over the conversation, "He is a sculpture, even if he has contact with jade sculpture, he must I haven't cut a few pieces. Pick the cheapest one, practice your hands, and you won't make any mistakes, just be steady."

"Maybe, people still want to become famous in one fell swoop!"

A jade carving master next to him took over the conversation, "Youngster, you have to hit a wall and suffer a few losses before you can make progress."

"You're not yet twenty years old, it's really too much. Younger."

Another jade carving master sighed and looked the head, "Back then, when I was 20 years old, I could only wipe the sweat off the master, and I didn't even have a chance to get started."

"I'm better than you. After grinding the stone for a few years, the Master asked me to peel it."

The jade carving Master in groups of three or four chatted, waiting for Lu Li to finish reading jade stone is back.

"Sorry, I've made you wait for a long time!"

After half an hour, Lu Li just finished watching and hurried up.

"It's okay!"

"You're still young!"

"Understandable! Understandable!"

These jade carving masters They did not speak ill of each other, and behaved very tolerantly.

After all, being a well-known person in the jade carving industry is not so narrow-minded as to care about such trivial matters with a youngster.

"Masters, you must have read all the jade stones in the exhibition hall, and have selected the jade stone that suits your heart."

A member of the organizing committee The staff came up and said to the crowd, "Now, please come with me."

After finishing speaking, the staff took everyone out of the exhibition hall and came to a large Conference Hall.

"Masters, please take your seats according to the nameplate. Everyone has a tablet computer in their seats."

The staff stood on the stage and said to the Masters: " On the tablet computer, there is a material selection icon, click on the icon, the picture and serial number of each jade stone in the exhibition hall are listed, please confirm the selected jade stone material."

"Attention! If multiple people choose the same jade stone, we will follow the chronological order, and the jade stone belongs to the person who chooses first."

"Now, start!"

A command Next, the Masters opened the icons one after another and chose the jade stone material they liked.

Master Zhang Yu from Huhai looked at the pictures of jade stone displayed on the tablet computer, his eyes fell to the end, and he saw the last five-color transparent jade material.

"This piece of material... a glass kind of transparent material, but there are five colors of red, green, yellow, white, and purple. It is used to make jade carvings, and the shape and color are very suitable. It's just..."

Master Zhang Yu hesitated, sighed.

This piece of material, the five colors are interlaced, entangled and twisted, the stripes are too close, and it is too difficult to carve. Moreover, it is still a transparent material, and any mistakes can be seen clearly.

Forget it, change to something safer.

Master Zhang Yu moved his fingertips to the side and chose a piece of jade that was white and green.

After clicking OK and selecting the material, Master Zhang Yu was surprised to find that the transparent five-color material that he just gave up was actually chosen.

Who is so arrogant? Even this piece of material dares...

next moment, the name of the chooser has been revealed under the jade stone material.

Fuck! Lu Li?

How dare you choose this material?

Master Zhang Yu was stunned.

Other jade carving masters who saw this result were also stunned.

How dare you choose this material? Do you dare to choose the materials that we are afraid to use?

Do you know how risky it is to carve this material?

If it is broken, it will be compensated! Are you here to compete, or are you here to lose money?

How much money do you have in your family? Do you dare to play like that?
