Chapter 252 Obsidian
However, Zhao Feng never expected that the various preferential conditions he proposed were not taken seriously by this young carving master.
His father had already solemnly told him to treat the carving master with courtesy, but he had another idea. Why not completely win over him and hire the carving master back to the company from home? Isn’t that a one-time and for all?
But he forgot that all creatures like Masters have quirks and are definitely not something that can be won over by just money.
Isn’t this the case with Master Li, who is very famous in their ranks?
Master Li had extremely high carving skills. He had been dealing with jade and jade all his life. Any jade he carved by hand was at least three times more than before, which was truly true.
However, this master has a strange rule, that is, he will not help others easily carve it. If you don’t like it, even if you offer an astronomical price, he will not help you.
But if he thinks you like him and treats him very much, even if he doesn't accept it, this master will do his best to help you carve it.
In the jade carving industry, this master has a very high status and is not well-educated person, but he doesn't know that there is such a person. When some senior people talk about Master Li's carving work, no one can express their amazement without giving a thumbs up. Even Zhao Feng's father respects him very much.
"How could I forget this? My father has clearly reminded me repeatedly that the master hates talking about money the most, and now the other party must have an objection to me." Zhao Feng was very regretful.
Just when Zhao Feng was regretting, Tang Tianyou said, "Mr. Zhao, I already know your purpose, but I'm sorry, I have something to do recently and may not be able to help you."
"Mr. Tang, I'm sorry." Zhao Feng's face turned red with anxiety, "If I had any disrespect to you just now, please be sure to forgive me."
"No, it's not like that." Tang Tianyou waved his hand, "Engraving is just a hobby of mine. I used to sell my works cruelly because I was forced to make a living. But now this problem has been solved, so I will never let my works be covered with the smell of copper."
What a person Tang Tianyou is now? How could someone ask you to carve it? You have to carve it.
"Mr. Tang, please be sure to help me." Zhao Feng begged, "My grandfather is now seventy years old, and even had a serious illness before. No one knows how long my grandfather can live."
"Of course, I'm not cursing my grandfather. I just think that living a day longer at this age is equivalent to earning a day, so I really hope that my grandfather can live happily every day in the future."
"When I was a child, I kept staying with my grandfather because of my busy work. Maybe because of this, my grandfather loved me very much. No matter how naughty I was when I was a child, my grandfather just scolded me and explained it to me, but he never beat me."
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Because of this, even if my parents are not around, I never feel lonely. Because others have parents, but I have grandpa. That's what I thought at that time."
"Grandpa is the most important person in this world. I like to listen to my grandpa telling stories about him, and I like to see my grandpa smile without a few teeth..."
"So, please, Mr. Tang." Zhao Feng bent down and bowed, "Please carve a birthday gift for my grandfather. This is the only thing that I, as a grandson, can do to make him happy."
"This?" Tang Tianyou was stunned.
Zhao Feng is unusual. He is from a noble family, but he is very experienced in doing things. Even if he wanted to hire him to become the engraver in their company before, he did not show an aggressive attitude, but just negotiated.
Even if he was rejected, he did not show any feeling of being embarrassed and angry. He was so polite and filial to an ordinary self. Such a person is worthy of close friendship.
"Uh..." Tang Tianyou hesitated for a moment, then wanted to speak.
But Zhao Feng seemed to see Tang Tianyou's hesitant look. He gritted his teeth and took out a stone about the size of a palm from his body and said, "If you agree, I can give this stone to you."
Stone?
Tang Tianyou looked over in confusion. A stone the size of a palm was placed on Zhao Feng's hand. At this time, the light in the room was a little dim, but the stone emitted a light like daylight, illuminating the entire room, like a luminous body, emitting circles of soft halos, which were extremely magical.
Not only that, Tang Tianyou even felt a strange feeling from this stone, which seemed to contain a trace of magical energy.
"What is this?" Tang Tianyou was surprised.
"This is Bai Yaodian." Zhao Feng was very satisfied when he saw Tang Tianyou's surprised expression, because no one could not move such a magical treasure.
"White Yaodian?" Tang Tianyou whispered in a low voice.
"That's right, this is the name of this magical stone." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"This name is a bit similar to obsidian." Tang Tianyou thought.
Obsidian is a common black medium- and low-end gem, also known as natural glazed, a naturally produced glazed glass. Its cause is that volcanic lava quickly cools and condenses, with an amorphous structure.
Because the outer periphery of lava flow cools the fastest, obsidian is usually found on the outer periphery of lava flow. Obsidian is usually black, but there are also brown, gray and a small amount of obsidian of red, blue and even green materials.
Obsidian is also one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. It has been used as an evil-proof object and amulet (such as the Boyuanxuan Obsidian Pixiu Bracelet) since ancient times, symbolizing friendly love and hope, and helps eliminate negative energy such as stress, fatigue, and turbid air.
Most of the distribution of obsidian is in areas where volcanic activities have been used, such as Hawaii in the United States, Japan, Java in Indonesia, and other places such as Iceland, Hungary, Lipari Islands in Italy, the former Soviet Union, Mexico, Ecuador and Guatemala.
The dark black single-eyed obsidian is distributed in Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, and is called "Tears of Appachi" by the Indians.
Today, most of the obsidian jewelry is produced in Central and North America, and it is already the national stone of the United States of Mexico.
"Well, the names are indeed a bit similar, but the characteristics of the two are different at all." Zhao Feng replied with a smile when he heard Tang Tianyou's words.
"Indeed." Tang Tianyou nodded, "If we look at it according to the characteristics, the white obsidian in front of us is a bit similar to the moonstone."
"Do you know Moonlight Stone too?" Zhao Feng was surprised.
Tang Tianyou nodded with a smile.
