Chapter 0339 – Completion
Zhuang Rui threw the box he was holding on his hands on the ground, he walked to the table with joy, picked up a pair of bracelets and looked at them, the bracelets that originally had little luster now became glowing, even with their backs to the light, one could see the extraordinary from them.
“Boss Zhuang, those five pairs of bangles have been completed, you check and accept them!”
Luo Jiang, who was carving the pendant, raised his head and looked at Zhuang Rui and said something before putting his attention back to the jade in his hands.
Zhuang Rui sniffed and opened the cardboard box he brought from Stone Zhai, and found all the jewelry boxes for the bracelets, and after opening one box, he put a completed bracelet into the inwardly concave place in the box, and the size was just right.
By the evening, the five pairs of superb red Fei cuffs have been polished and waxed, even if they are handmade by Luo Jiang, in handing over the bracelets to Zhuang Rui, is also a little reluctant to part with them, knowing that in the future, not to mention the polishing of this quality of bracelets, may be even the opportunity to look at it, will become very rare.
At this time five pairs of red Fei bracelets, is placed in the villa living room on the coffee table, the following pad a white cloth, in the incandescent light irradiation, five pairs of bracelets exudes a kind of moving red, like the ancient dancers in the dance.
Nearly transparent bracelet in the red color, like a kind of demonic spirituality, long attracted Zhuang Rui’s eyeballs, so that people can not help but pick up to play to wear to the wrist, but Zhuang Rui or forced to suppress the idea, if he wore a bracelet out, that a quasi-people laughed off.
The five glass species of bracelets are jade bracelets divided into round open bracelets, the shape of the circle mouth for the round bar, the bar is also round, can also be called round jade bracelet, is the old square and traditional shape, looks solemn and generous, ancient, generally more suitable for older women to wear, thin round bar bracelet is also suitable for young women to wear.
In the market, the birthday bracelet due to the most material, both young and old, the price is higher than the flat mouth round Fu bracelet and flat mouth oval shaped Guifei bracelet, so Luo Jiang all of them made into a birthday bracelet, whether it is for sale or to give away, are available.
Zhuang Rui treasured these bracelets and took them to the basement after putting them into the box, although he didn’t intend to sell them, the value of these tiny few bracelets was already higher than this villa he lived in, so of course Zhuang Rui had to collect them properly.
“Is it appropriate for Grandma to carry such a brightly colored bracelet?”
Thinking of sending out a, Zhuang Rui now actually some reluctance, he is not a stingy person, just these bracelets are too attractive, even if there are as many as five, send out a pair, Zhuang Rui is also some heartache, but grandmother’s seventieth wedding anniversary, the bracelet as a mother’s gift, should be able to please the grandmother a smile.
Stay in the villa every day, either looking at Luo Jiang faceted jade, is to study, Zhuang Rui this period of time is very comfortable, Zhao Guodong’s auto body shop has been merged with Zhang Yufeng’s factory, business is much better than before, he is also busy headache, unavoidable.
The original site of the auto body shop, now changed to specialize in automotive interior decoration, by the four children over there is responsible for, as more and more private cars, can spend more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands to buy a car, do not care to spend a few thousand more dollars to the car interior refurbishment, the business is very good, the profit can reach almost half of the auto body shop.
Liu Chuan went to Hong Kong during this time, and did not come to annoy Zhuang Rui, he married in November, the wedding date and Ouyang Jun on the difference between five or six days, when Zhuang Rui and have to run on both sides, who let these two people have caught Zhuang Rui, so that he did the best man ah! But there is also a good news, is that Qin Xuan Bing as Lei Lei’s bridesmaid, when the time is sure to come back from the United Kingdom.
Although there are still more than two months to see Qin Xuan Bing, but every day on the phone in the two conversations, but more and more unrestrained, I do not know if it is not stimulated by the kind of open culture abroad, Qin Xuan Bing has become more and more attached to Zhuang Rui, every day to Zhuang Rui to play more than half an hour of international long-distance.
But let Zhuang Rui some headache is, Miao big police officer this period of time to find his frequency is also higher and higher, always urge him to go to Beijing, seems to have something, but refused to say on the phone, several times have lost their temper, make Zhuang Rui inexplicable, but also some tears and laughter, ready to wait for Luo Jiang after the completion of the work, then rushed to Beijing, to see what is wrong with the police officer Miao.
In the distance from the Mid-Autumn Festival there are three days when, Luo Jiang finally all the jade are carved, the time used than the expected more than a week, really those pendants and other objects too much energy, and many objects need to be inlaid, this more than a month down, although Zhuang Rui good food and good drink to serve, but Luo Jiang whole person is still thin a circle.
“Boss Zhuang, finally rushed out, you are the connoisseur of jade appreciation, see how I did this job?”
In Zhuang Rui villa dining room that big dining table, neatly placed many small objects, the top row is a pendant, there is a single perforated pendant, that is, the kind of tie the rope, there are also gold and silver inlaid pendants, those scattered ice jade material quite a lot, Luo Jiang even made a set of twelve Chinese zodiac pendants to.
Pendant placed below, is a variety of styles of earrings earrings, all are inlaid finished products, there are glass seed, there are ice seed, Luo Jiang put these two different materials of jewelry placed separately, can easily distinguish, but also intuitively in the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages.
“Not bad, Master Luo, this time it’s a hard work for you, here’s two hundred and fifty thousand RMB, you must take it!” These ornaments have been seen countless times by Zhuang Rui long ago during the beating process, at that moment, he took out a leather bag and put it into Luo Jiang’s hand.
“Boss Zhuang, I’ve said it all, I won’t charge for this job, but that thing ……”
Luo Jiang couldn’t help but get anxious when he saw Zhuang Rui’s move, although he wasn’t a man of great wealth, but a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand wasn’t that important when compared to the urgency of him wanting to leave a name for himself through this batch of jades.
According to the rules of their line, after a piece of fine art comes out, the owner and the maker should go to the jade appraisal organization at the same time to appraise it, and then issue a certificate of appraisal, and the maker should also sign and stamp the Inscription on the top of the certificate of appraisal, however, Luo Jiang at this time looked at Zhuang Rui seems to have no intention to go to the appraisal.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said, “Master Luo, put this money away first! You’ve worked hard for a month, this is what you deserve, take the money and let’s talk about other things.”
“Boss Zhuang, we craftsmen, we may not be able to stumble upon this kind of superb jade a few times in our lifetime, so the opportunity is very rare, to be able to carve them, it’s also considered to be my good fortune, let’s forget about the money! I hope that what Boss Zhuang promised me can be done.”
Luo Jiang is now in the jade industry in the fame, is in the position of not going down, although the character is good, carving is also very exquisite, but there has been no masterpiece to come out, so his value is not very high, if you change a contemporary jade masters to Zhuang Rui carve these objects, a month without a hundred and eighty thousand, no one to take the job, said those masters of the character, already do not need to use the works in the Prove their strength.
Masters of fame, has been successfully converted into yuan, just like those in the entertainment industry why all day long think of the famous, the root of the matter is still for the word of profit, fame represents the price, on behalf of the appearance of the fee, the two are complementary to each other. Luo Jiang is now just short of this threshold, if he has now passed this threshold, absolutely will not be polite to accept Zhuang Rui this money.
“Master Luo, still the same sentence, this money you accept first, let’s talk about the appraisal certificate.”
If another person so shrugged off, Zhuang Rui will also go along with the money put away, just this month, Luo Jiang is really very hard, only sleep five or six hours a day, the rest of the time in the jade, plus other people carve the object, the request to leave their name on the certificate of authentication, that should also be due, Zhuang Rui is embarrassed to send out the money and then take it back.
Luo Jiang saw Zhuang Rui insisted, also did not say anything, after the purse received down, but saw Zhuang Rui took out another four-square postal parcel to see him somewhat puzzled.
“Master Luo, take a look! Is this kind of appraisal certificate okay?”
Zhuang Rui took out a folded green-colored hard paper from inside that long unsealed cardboard package and handed it over to Luo Jiang.
“This …… is the identification certificate issued by the National Jade Identification Center ah! When …… of course, eh? How come there’s a photo? Boss Zhuang, how did you do it?”
Luo Jiang received the folded green paper, opened it and couldn’t help but shout out in surprise, but then he thought of Zhuang Rui’s identity, the director of the Jade Association, from the subordinate appraisal organization inside to get a few appraisal certificates, it’s not really a difficult thing.
In fact, Luo Jiang thinks so, is high on Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui on the jade appraisal center can be two eyes, others will not buy his account now, Zhuang Rui is in Luo Jiang carved out these objects, with a digital camera photographed, and then on the Internet to the ancient clouds, so that he went to find the old man to handle the ancient.
For Zhuang Rui’s character, the ancient master is naturally trustworthy, the appraisal of the appraisal of the language, all of them are printed on, and the photo has also been topped, so that the certificate of appraisal, is no one can be faulted.
Zhuang Rui smiled and put the package containing more than a hundred identification certificates, pushed down Luo Jiang’s hand, said: “Okay, promised you things I did ah! Put your seal on it! There are more than a hundred copies here, I’ll invite you to dinner after you’re done, I’m going to treat you well.”
“Thank you, thank you Boss Zhuang, you’re really a trustworthy person, if there’s any more objects that need to be carved in the future, I, Luo Jiang, will definitely make them for you for free.”
Luo Jiang’s expression was a bit excited, from the bag he brought with him, he took out a box of sealing clay and a seal, and carefully put the seal on the column of the maker of the certificate of authentication, and stamped it down with force.
