Chapter 386: Rising tide

"Chen Li, did you forget to go home for dinner again!" His wife sighed over the phone.
"You and your daughter eat first, I will be back later today."
"Okay, don't patronize the work. Even if you don't come back for dinner, you have to find something to eat in the studio. I put a lot of biscuits in the cabinet. If you..."
Hearing his wife still nagging differently on the phone, Chen Li couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "Okay, I get it, let's hang up first."
After that, Chen Li was once again immersed in the skills of nuclear carving, which he had maintained for about a week.
The olive nucleus requested by Wang Zhiwei had already been carved. According to the requirements, it was a smiling old man, and it did not take Chen Li too much time.
However, the feel of the olive nucleus made Chen Li addicted. He hadn’t experienced the comfortable feeling for a long time. Although the olive nucleus was only new, Chen Li no longer dared to despise the olive nucleus, even he I am also preparing to use this olive pit carving to participate in the nuclear carving competition held in this country.
According to the manuscript designed by himself, the olive nucleus in Chen Li’s hand will be made into a Buddha statue. Coincidentally, according to Chen Li’s observation, the olive nucleus leaves obvious growth lines when it grows. The olive pit on one side is darker than the other.
He modified his design based on this feature, and made the left half of the Buddha's face a kind of loving look, with a slight smile in his eyes, while the other side looks like a glaring look. The light and dark tones on both sides of the walnut accentuate this feeling. , Even under natural light, this Buddha statue seems to have different emotions.
With the continuous polishing of details, Chen Li looked at the finished product in his hands and finished little by little, he was a little stunned. Such a delicate expression, agility and exquisite details, this can be said to be his most satisfying work ever. .
In his home country a week later, Chen Li was holding his work and an award certificate on stage. He never dreamed that his work "Double-faced Buddha" would be shortlisted for this year's Gold Award.
"Master Chen, I don't know if your award-winning work "Double-faced Buddha" has any intention to sell, the price is easy to negotiate!
"This work is of great significance to me, and there is no plan to sell it temporarily."
A group of collectors surrounded Chen Li. After his words were uttered, everyone around him showed obvious disappointment.
We must know that Master Chen won the championship in this country's nuclear carving competition in one fell swoop, overwhelming the local master carving master, I am afraid this "Double-faced Buddha" can sell for a high price when it returns to China.
"Master Chen, I would like to ask you to help me carve a nuclear carving craft. I don't know when you will be free."
"I don't have much time recently, so I won't take orders for the time being. Of course, if there are materials that I like, I'm willing to make them even if I don't charge money."
"Master Chen, the work "Double-faced Buddha" you participated in this time seems to be made of new materials. I wonder if there is anything in it?"
"In fact, this is an ordinary olive pit, something I used to practice my hands, but I observed its special growth structure, and all the inspiration came to make it into this "Double-faced Buddha"."
What Chen Li said is very similar. If anyone in the industry who has been in contact with Kunyang olive pits hears it, they are afraid to scold him shamelessly. You dare to say the unremarkable Kunyang olive pit!
The news that Chen Li won the prize in China has not yet come back. Wang Zhiwei came to Chen Li's studio and prepared to get his own customized olive-core bracelet.
"Mr. Wang, my teacher went to the local country to participate in the nuclear carving competition. He asked me to give you this bracelet. You can call me the balance."
Wang Zhiwei saw the bracelet handed by Li Chao, with ten round and oily olive nuclei sandwiching a kind-eyed smiling old man. He immediately took a fancy to it. No wonder there is a saying in the literary and entertainment world called eye margins. It seems that it should be his own.
So Wang Zhiwei happily paid the final payment. The cost of 10 Li Chao handcrafted pieces was calculated as a package price of 5,000 yuan, plus the one that Chen Li personally made was 9,000 yuan.
As soon as Li Chao’s money arrived, he received a call from Chen Li:
A Chao, don’t take orders in my name at random these days. I won the local gold medal this time. The price has risen to more than 20,000. As my apprentice, your value has also changed. Why do you have to charge around 3,000. Also, the quality of the olive pits I used this time is good. If you have any inventory, ask him to buy a batch of goods. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher.
When they carve a group, there is a price for the level of carving, but the various awards are the source of extra points. Just like this time before going to the local country, everyone's name for Chen Li is at most "Master Chen". The title of the trophy was immediately changed to "Master Chen". This is the reality of this circle.
Wang Zhiyuan was next to Li Chao, and he also vaguely heard what Chen Li said. Li Chao did not hide it. After hanging up the phone, he said to Wang Zhiyuan: "Boss Wang has good luck. My master got it in his own country this time. The gold award, you laymen may not be aware of the value of this award. Let’s put it this way, the effort to make a phone call has increased several times. If you go back and play for two more years, maybe you can double it again. By the way, boss Wang I don’t know if there is any olive pit material over there? My master would like to ask you to buy some. The price is easy to say."
"Congratulations to Master Chen, there are still some olive pits on my side, but should we sit down and discuss the specific price?" Wang Zhiyuan didn't expect that he was originally here to spend money, but it became a high-priced one. Not to mention the olive pits, in the end the bracelet carved by the master seemed to be picked for nothing.
Leaving Chen Li's studio and returning to the car~EbookFREE.me~ Wang Zhiyuan looked at the slightly shiny bracelet in his hand and was quite moved.
Before, Lao Zhu and the others joked that they could make a lot of money even if they sold turf paper with Kunyang. At that time, they laughed at the sound of his flattering and dared to say anything in order to get the goods.
Now the facts are in front of him. This batch of olives from Kunyang is the best example. They started selling at a sky-high price of 1,200 per catty. I heard that there was a chef in Chaoshan who thought it was cheap for 2,000 per catty. Then the olives became Wenwan has changed from a price per catty to a price for each one. Now the olive pit on his wrist just said in Chen Li's phone how much is one?
Ten 3,000 pieces plus one 20,000 pieces are 50,000 yuan. How many times has the effort increased in just half a month?
After working hard with Kun Yang, are you afraid that you won't make money?
Zhou Kun, who was in the Orange Garden, didn't know that this olive pit helped him invisibly recruit a desperate wholesaler.
