[-]. Qi Jiamo.

It took Hou Yan about 20 days to carve the pair of dragon and phoenix nothing happened cards.As for the engraving speed, Hou is not demanding.He really doesn't have a lot of time to think about these things now.Because in these 20 days, he also needs to complete his final exam.

The exam process was smooth for Hou Yan, and the results of the final exam came out very quickly. He didn't seek meritorious deeds but no faults. In terms of grades, a young man who became a monk on the way out really didn't have much to commend him. But in the end, there was no failure.Even though it was just like this, Hou Yan still felt very satisfied.

As for Hou Qi, he has never asked for his younger brother's grades, so naturally he will not be harsh.After receiving the report card from the school, he signed it without hesitation, then packed up his brother and took it directly to the company's rough stone warehouse.

The Hou family's rough stone warehouse is in a small town near Yucheng.The Hou family focuses on the rough stone business, and Yucheng, as the base camp of the Hou family, was not arbitrarily chosen by the ancestors of the Hou family.Although it is not a rough stone producing area, it is located in the center of the four major rough stone producing areas. If the rough stones traveling from south to north want to circulate, they will definitely use Yucheng as their distribution center.

In the old days, the city of Yucheng was full of large and small rough stones, but with the rapid development of the times, the city center of Yucheng has been replaced by many high-rise buildings, which are only used for the exchange of rough stones, and the storage places of the rough stones are located in the surrounding areas of Yucheng. transfer of villages and towns.

Ai Township is the village where the Hou family stored rough stones.Although it is called a "village", because the senior management and business partners of the Hou family sometimes stay here for a long time, the various facilities in the village are not simple, and restaurants and hotels are all available. A hot spring was dug out in the center, and Hou Qi simply built a hot spring village, which is open to the public on weekdays.As a result, Ai Township has become a resort-like place.

However, its function as the Hou family's rough stone warehouse has not changed.In the deepest part of the village, there is a warehouse. Entering the warehouse requires layers of questioning, and the staff are always careful and thoughtful.This is the rough stone warehouse of the Hou family. Every year, many jade shops and jewelry companies select rough stones here, and then go back for further processing.

The news that the chairman personally brought the second young master has notified the employees of Ai Township long ago, and the manager of Ai Township has made full preparations for the arrival of the brothers Hou Jia and Hou Qi.But there was a little accident. Before the arrival of the two brothers, the general manager of the Li family arrived first to select a batch of rough stones.

The Li family is the biggest partner of the Hou family. The manager of Ai Township is not a person who can't distinguish between priorities. Even though he felt that it would be bad for him not to receive the chairman in person, he hesitated for a moment and finally decided to accompany Li's manager. Look at the rough stone.

Customer first.This is the reason why the Hou family has been able to survive these years.A person who can become the manager of the Hou family must not just be someone who can be charming.

Hou Qi nodded after hearing the trembling explanation of the deputy general manager, expressing his understanding.Although he didn't want his younger brother to have too much contact with Li Siheng, Ye, a general manager of the Li family, didn't need him to receive him in person, but from a personal point of view, the Li family helped him protect his younger brother and let him grow up safely. He has no choice but to repay his kindness.

Based on this, Hou Qi always treats the members of the Li family with courtesy.

Now that Li Siheng has reached his territory, there is no reason for him not to receive him.Hou Qi wiped his face, pulled some younger brothers who were out of condition, and went straight to the No. [-] warehouse where Li Siheng selected the rough stones.

The Hou family has a total of six warehouses in Ai Township, most of which are emeralds.The rough stones stored in Warehouse No. [-] are of the best quality, and the probability of getting ice seeds is also the highest. Similarly, the price is also the highest.The other warehouses are in descending order. The rough stones stored in the No. [-] warehouse are not only cheap but also small in size, suitable for inexperienced tourists to buy one and try their luck.Of course, the chance of getting jadeite is very low, and the chance of getting high jadeite is almost nonexistent.

Li Siheng went to Warehouse No. [-] this time. The quality of the rough stone is not the best, and of course, it is not bad either.It is very suitable for the production of some mid-range jadeites and sell them to small jadeite merchants.Jadeite is not only high-quality, but the jadeite worth hundreds of millions cannot support the operation of a company.

This is the misunderstanding of many jewelry companies today. Many jewelry companies cannot see through such a truth, and dare not see through it.And Li Siheng saw this very clearly, so while he did not let go of the production of high-end jadeite, he set his sights on mid-range jadeite.

Although the profit of mid-range jadeite is not as high as that of high-end products, it is aimed at a wider range of consumers. Turning jadeite into a daily necessities can easily stimulate consumption.Accumulate less to make more, thick accumulation and steady growth, this is Li Siheng's new business strategy for his company.

This idea is in the trial camp stage, and the old man of the Li family is also very concerned about it, so this time to choose the rough stone, he not only chose the most familiar and trusted Hou family, but also sent his grandson Li Siheng to personally supervise the whole process.

When Hou Qi and Hou Qi arrived at warehouse No. [-], Li Siheng and the "eyes" he brought had already selected most of the rough stones.The so-called eyes are people recruited by jewelry companies to professionally select rough stones.

Hou Qi stepped forward and extended his hand to Li Siheng, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Li."

Li Siheng spread his hands to him and declined Hou Qi's handshake.He was picking rough stones just now, and his palms were covered with fine sand. It was really impolite to shake hands with Hou Qi hastily. Li Siheng remembered that Hou Qi had a bit of a cleanliness habit.

Hou Qi's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded to express his understanding.The two of them were exchanging ordinary greetings, so far, there was no more words, Hou Qi had done all the etiquette, so he wanted to drag Hou Jia out.

Li Siheng was surprised when he saw Hou Yan early in the morning.After all, in his previous life, he had never been to the Hou family's rough stone warehouse.Several times he wanted to strike up a conversation with Hou Yan, but he didn't know how to start it.

But Hou Jia suddenly remembered something, took out a brocade box from his backpack, and handed the brocade box to Li Siheng, "Brother Li, this is the piece you gave me last time, I made a pair A little thing." According to the original agreement with Li Siheng, the things carved by Hou Jia will be consigned in Li's shop, and the income will be divided equally between the two.

What Li Siheng said at the beginning was just to make Hou Jia accept the things.As for the agreement, he himself didn't care.Because, born in a family of jade carvings, Li Si follows the natural way, and carving is not a one-day job.Even though Hou Jia has some painting foundation, it is almost impossible to carve something without the guidance of a teacher.

Therefore, when Hou Yan put the brocade box in front of him, he was indeed very surprised.

"Hey? Little Jiu'er, you've been tinkering in the room these days just to carve this thing." Hou Qi folded his arms and leaned on a smooth rough stone half a person's height, raising his eyebrows at Hou Jia.

Then, he smiled professionally at Li Siheng, and said, "Mr. Li might as well inspect the goods in person. After all, my brother's craftsmanship has never been seen by me as an older brother."

"Huh? Brother..." Hou Yan was very embarrassed. He felt that Hou Qi was a little unhappy, but after the jade was carved, it needed to be sealed up. Before the employer opened it, he could not show it to others.This is the norm.Every industry has rules, and the jade industry is especially strict.

At this moment, there was a snort from behind a rough rock that was one person tall, and a man wearing a black sweetheart collar half-sleeves and black sunglasses paced out from behind the rock.

This man is tall, and from his close-fitting half sleeves, you can clearly see the smooth muscle lines on his body.At first glance, this man looks a little sloppy, but there is a faint sense of oppression.The environment of the warehouse is not bright, but he is wearing a pair of sunglasses, which are very abrupt, but they fit this man inexplicably.

He walked to Li Siheng's side, shook his head at Hou Qi, and said "tsk tsk" twice, "Young master is jealous." Joking, even more ruffian all over the body.

Hou Qi's smiling face was distorted for a moment, and the thumb of his left hand was clenched into the palm of his hand.Taking a deep breath, Hou Qi ignored the man wearing sunglasses, but said to Li Siheng, "Boss Li unexpectedly brought Master Qi here today."

Master Qi was talking about this man wearing sunglasses.His name is Qi Mo. Seven years ago, he became famous overnight because he won three pieces of ice emperor green in succession in the jadeite market in Myanmar seven years ago. He became a legend in the jadeite betting industry. He said "Master Qi".However, after that time, he never heard of him betting stones for himself again. Instead, he joined the Li family's company and became the "eyes" of the Li family.

Li Siheng was lowering his head and fiddling with the copper lock of the brocade box that Hou Jia had given him. When he heard Hou Qi's words, he glanced at Qi Mo with a slight warning, and said to Hou Qi, "Why don't we take a look at Xiao Jiu'er's works?" Well, with a hook of his finger, he unhooked the copper clasp and opened the tightly closed brocade box.

A pair of nothing happens side by side in the box.Among all jade carvings, the nothing card is the simplest, but also the most difficult.He didn't engrave on the jade tablet, so he couldn't have too complicated patterns.For example, in Hou Jia's work this time, although he chose the pattern of dragon and phoenix, compared with the one carved on the jade plaque, the lines are considered concise.

However, it is necessary to use such simple lines to express the infinite tension of the work, which needs to test the skill of the jade carver.

For Hou Jia’s pair of nothing-things cards, the carving of the dragon and phoenix is ​​just a few big knives to cut out the lines, and then use the ups and downs of the pattern itself to make the holes of the nothing-things card.However, it is such a simple stroke, but it seems to outline the posture of a dragon and a phoenix flying.Moreover, after fine polishing, the blue floating flowers are more like floating clouds embedded in the water, and matched with the dragon and phoenix on the top of the Wushi card, it looks like a pair of dragons and phoenixes soaring in the sky.

Everyone knew that this was Hou Jia's first work, so they didn't expect much. However, when Li Siheng opened the brocade box, even Qi Mo couldn't help but took off his glasses, and moved closer to Li Siheng to have a closer look.

After a while, it was Hou Qi who recovered his voice first, "Xiao Jiuer, this...you carved it yourself?"

Hou Yan obviously didn't understand the surprise of the crowd, and said with some annoyance, "It's not very good, you see, the dragon's glasses are not polished well, and the whole dragon looks listless."

There was another silence, Li Siheng silently put away the nothing card in the box, turned and walked outside.On the other hand, Qi Mo raised his sunglasses, and shook his head at Hou Qi, "Young Master, what a fucking family of yours."

Hou Yan relied on everyone's reaction without knowing it, and was finally pulled out by his brother.They haven't looked at the rough stones yet, and the sun is getting late, so... let's go to lunch first.
