Chapter 201 Miss Shen's Talent
In fact, Su Mei also noticed it. Under her influence, the reputation of Pu'er tea has gradually spread. Friends who were invited by her to come to drink tea often asked her what kind of tea it is. Su Mei often gave Pu'er tea as a gift, and friends who received the gift would naturally drink it.
All those who interact with Su Mei are celebrities and rich people. Those who are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy jewelry will not have too thin assets. It is these people who are willing to spend money on their life enjoyment.
Of course, Pu'er tea is not a rare item in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even in the South China Sea. In the early years, due to transportation, they generally found it difficult to drink fresh tea. Most of the references are old teas and old teas. In particular, Pu'er tea, the more fragrant it becomes, is called "drinking antique". As early as the 1950s, Hong Kong teahouses had a craze for drinking Pu'er tea, because compared to colder green tea, old Pu'er tea warms the stomach and does not harm the body.
What Song Yi wants to lead now is just another wave of Pu'er fever. Moreover, Song Yi also knows that there will be a bigger wave of Pu'er tea fever in the mainland later. In comparison, Hong Kong and Taiwan can only be regarded as pediatrics.
During this period, Su Mei also heard about it. The Yixing purple clay teapot in Hong Kong has been hotly hyped, and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Taiwan have participated.
The antique collection industry is closely related to the jewelry industry, or in other words, people like jade, even more people regard it as a collection. It is not unusual for Su Mei to hear the news. Among the people she interacts with, many of them are bigwigs in the antique collection industry. She often hears them say that they spend hundreds of thousands to collect a top-quality purple clay teapot.
Su Mei and Song Yi have been together for a long time, and their appreciation of antique collections will naturally improve. Song Yi treats her well, and all the things she uses and decorates at home are excellent. Su Mei himself feels that if there are no one or two high-quality products on the scene, he is embarrassed to invite others. Whenever he sees the visiting guests' surprise and joyful expressions, Su Mei feels even more happy.
In fact, this is also a slowly rising trend. When it develops to the future, if a company does not have one or two fine antiques collections, others will doubt whether your strength is enough and whether your foundation is sufficient. This is why many companies spend a lot of money on auctions. In the least, they will also ask insiders to help buy antiques to use them to maintain the market, which also demonstrates the company's strength.
Su Mei has the kind of attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions. She doesn't know what she wants. Just like Song Yi, she will look for Song Shibo, Lin Fangjun, Lin Baoqing and others, and they are all happy to help.
This time, Su Mei and Song Yi did not participate in the Yixing purple clay teapot heat that has been ripped off in Hong Kong and Taiwan. On the one hand, they were limited in energy and couldn't be busy with their business, so they didn't have time to do this; on the other hand, they didn't want to cause more trouble. This trend of black and white was involved in it, and it was not surprising that some disputes were not surprising.
Another reason is that the profits of purple clay teapots are very large in others' eyes, often hundreds of thousands, but in Song Yi and Su Mei's eyes, if you really want to participate, you just want to lose the foundation and the slightly more exquisite jade is worth millions, so why bother yourself?
Even if Su Mei talks about purple clay teapots with Hong Kong collectors, they are no inferior to them. Su Mei’s tea sets are naturally indispensable for the fine purple clay teapots. Not to mention anything else, as long as others have seen them, they should know what the owner’s taste is.
The rise of purple clay teapot heat is just in line with the upcoming Pu'er heat. Purple clay teapots are not good-looking when buying them. The biggest function of purple clay teapots is to taste tea, especially when inviting friends.
To be more straightforward, it is to show off. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars in vain. Of course, it is for others to show it. Of course, it may be more implicit when expressing it, and it will also find various excuses, but it always means that!
Most people are blind animals, following the trend of chasing, as if others have no one, they are embarrassed. Even if some people can still be stable before, they will feel even more out of place when they see almost all their friends around them.
This is the case with the heat of purple clay teapots, and this will be even more so in the future Pu'er heat.
Su Mei firmly believes in this.
At the same time, Su Mei also had a deeper understanding of Song Yi’s precautions. When she bought Pu'er tea, she and Song Yi were gambling stones in Tengchong. At that time, Song Yi spent a lot of money to ask someone to buy Pu'er tea.
Song Yi's acquisition price was slightly higher than on the market at that time. He paid more attention to the quality of Pu'er tea. He had long expected that such a day would happen!
Su Mei proposed to use Pu'er tea to entertain guests at the opening dinner, which is exactly what Song Yi thought, "Heroes have the same views! If we want to hold it, we must hold a unique feast to let them know our cultural heritage, which is to inject a fresh spring into the cultural desert of Hong Kong."
Su Mei giggled, "You guy is really good at talking big."
"The atmosphere in Hong Kong is indeed like this. Life is under great pressure and the pace is fast. It is sincere to burn incense and worship Buddha. But just smell incense and drink tea. It is just a ritual. It really needs to be guided." Song Yi was just talking casually, not wanting to exaggerate or criticize others. If Lin Baoqing comes, she is very likely to preach and promote her thoughts on loving incense and praising incense.
Su Mei has lived in Hong Kong for so long, and the difference between life and people in Donghai can be felt very quickly. But the life gap between the poor and the rich is also very big. This is the same everywhere. Song Yi is right. There are many artworks, but few are truly tasteful. Su Mei gradually understood his thoughts, "Xiao Yi wants to promote the trend of praising the fragrance here?"
"My sister is so smart..." Song Yixin said that otherwise she would have collected so many spices and opened a special job to do what she did.
"This is a big market. The price of a top-quality incense can reach hundreds of yuan. After getting used to it, it is not uncommon to one every day. I am used to it now and order one every day after work." Su Mei was filled with sweetness. Song Yi loved her and gave her the best agarwood. It was just produced by her own home and would not feel distressed when it burned. Others want to buy such an incense, the price is at least over a hundred yuan.
"This is also a way to promote incense culture. People can't think that this incense has no other purpose than burning incense and worshiping Buddha." Song Yi replied, and he told Su Mei about other things to pay attention to, and said, "Anyway, Sister Mei needs to pay more attention to the preparation of the banquet, but don't work too much. I will feel distressed if I get tired."
Su Mei smiled and said, "If you have something to do, you can live a real life, otherwise, I would think it's a dream."
Before she knew it, it was already early morning, and Song Yi quickly asked Su Mei to rest early, but Su Mei was reluctant to let it go. What she didn't say just now was that even if it was a dream, she hoped that the dream would be longer and would be better never ended.
Song Yi was a little moved. He thought he understood women very well, but he often felt that women were difficult to understand. For example, now, Su Mei, who had always been mature and charming, was like a tangled girl in love, reluctant to leave him and said some love words, which made Su Mei hung up the phone.
Song Yi was not sleepy at this time. He picked up the brush, thought for a while, and drew a picture of his family reunion, and then went to bed to rest.
Although the school courses were three or four or five classes the next day, Song Yi got up early and had breakfast with his family.
Song Mingjie drove Song Shibao to the museum and did his own business. Su Yalan asked Song Yi if he wanted to use a car. Song Yi hurriedly said no. Su Yalan asked him where to go or if she would send him by the way. Song Yi hurriedly said there was no need, so Su Yalan drove out. Now the business scope of Jinyu Jewelry is getting bigger and bigger, and they are all used to driving on their own to discuss business.
Lin Baoqing had a class in the morning, but she did not go to school with Song Yi, and only asked him to have lunch together. Song Yi naturally agreed.
Think about it, Zhou Yu would not have answered for a while. This time, the opening of the Hong Kong Gold and Jade Jewelry Branch also requires some jewelry to be adjusted. In addition to traditional green jade, many Hong Kong people prefer purple jade.
There is no shortage of any type of jade in Jinyu Jewelry. Song Yi also plans to take this opportunity to show off the strong strength of Jinyu Jewelry again, and all kinds of dazzling jade will be brought over.
Without classes in the afternoon, Song Yi planned to go to Linhai Village. In addition to going to the jade factory, he also had to go to the furniture factory next to him. This time he had to bring some incense to him.
Thinking of this, Song Yi called He Jian. He Jian answered the phone in a daze. After hearing that it was Song Yi's voice, his voice immediately became thicker, "You kid, you have fun going to Beijing this time! I heard that you are showing off again..."
Song Yi smiled and said, "It's just one word to be tired! Are the girls in Hainan still as enthusiastic as before? I have time to go over and take a look."
"It's okay. I've found some good things this time. I'll smell it for you. It's definitely very authentic."
"I went to Linhai Village to get some things in the afternoon. Should I meet you together? I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I know you are busy, so you go there first. I will call you then and have a meal together tonight." He Jian also knew that there was something wrong with Song Yi and he really had something wrong with him. He didn't need to think too much about it. He also knew that the shop in Hong Kong was about to open. Song Yi went to Linhai Village and must have made some top-quality jewelry.
Song Yi chatted with He Jian for a while before he received the call. His good friend of the past doesn't have many opportunities to meet, but Song Yi did not forget to contact him. According to Lin Baoqing, he now looks like a successful person. It is said that he is also very popular among girls in their school, which is exactly what Song Yi hopes to see.
Song Yi thought about it and called Shen Yingxue's cell phone again. Shen Yingxue answered the phone. Song Yi asked, "I heard from Xiaorou that you were sick and asked for leave. How about you? Have you recovered from the illness now?"
"Don't talk about me, where are you?" Shen Yingxue was serious on the surface, but she was laughing secretly in her heart. It was really bad for him to find this excuse.
Song Yi replied deeply, "My illness will probably not be cured in the short term."
Chen Yingxue asked in surprise, "What disease is so serious? It's not that he is really sick!"
"Love-lost." Song Yi laughed, "Just kidding! Are you going to class today? I heard that you have designed a lot of good works to bring me the eyes to you."
"Do you really want to see it?" Chen Yingxue was a little surprised. She had never heard him talk about looking at works designed by her before. At most, she could communicate with Qiao Yurou and discuss her experience.
"Of course, you must know that there are not many works that can make Xiaorou praise. I also know how the jewelry designed by a genius beauty will be shocking." Song Yi spoke sincerely, and could not hear any different meaning.
After hearing what Song Yi said, Miss Shen, who was always arrogant and extremely proud, became a little shy. At this time, she regarded Song Yi's words as a compliment and recognition of her. According to his meaning, it should be the result of Qiao Yurou's strong praise. But if she really wants to be comparable to the jewelry designed by Song Yi, she thinks she is still a little different. So, at this time, she also seemed particularly modest and said crisply, "It's not as good as the 'golden and jade marriage' you designed! I heard that this time it was sold at a sky-high price of more than 50 million yuan. You are going to Beijing to attend the auction this time!"
"Well, but they have to support them to achieve such results." Song Yi didn't say much about his own affairs. "The jewelry you designed has finished products, otherwise you will bring it to me later, and maybe it can also be sold at a sky-high price!"
"Okay!" Chen Yingxue agreed very simply, "When I see you at school, I will hang up first, and I have to change my clothes!"
Song Yi smiled. Chen Yingxue is such a girl. She is looking forward to seeing her. Just about her appearance, Chen Yingxue is the most beautiful he has ever seen, otherwise he would not have been obsessed with in junior high school. Even if he has seen all his beauty now, his simple appearance is hard to attract him, but Chen Yingxue's charm in his heart is still the same. The reason is that her unique temperament, or her simple personality!
Song Yi sorted out the things in the room and saw that the time was about the same, then he set off. He stopped a taxi on the road and went to school.
When she arrived at the school gate, Song Yi had just gotten off the car and saw Chen Yingxue's dazzling BMW coming in at a glance.
Chen Yingxue was shining with beauty after getting off the car, but her arrogant temperament and strong aura made her keep others from thousands of miles away, and few people dared to come forward to chat with her.
Song Yi was an exception. When Chen Yingxue saw him, her aura disappeared without a trace and asked him strangely, "Why didn't you drive by yourself?"
"It's very convenient to call, and it saves the trouble of parking yourself. Of course, for an identity like Yingxue, it's better to drive by yourself, otherwise there will be problems." Song Yi didn't care. For him, he didn't like a special driver like Chen Yingxue to pick him up and drop him off.
But for a beauties like Chen Yingxue, it is still very necessary to specifically equip drivers and bodyguards. It is not about raising wealth and raising poverty. Just considering safety issues, there will be more protection. At this time, the university campus was relatively safe, so the driver sent it to the school and went back after witnessing her entering the school.
Chen Yingxue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Song Yi said, "Your charm is too great. The taxi driver keeps watching you, which is not good for causing a traffic accident."
Chen Yingxue laughed, "It's not as exaggerated as you said! Have you painted recently?"
"I draw every day, but most of the time I draw casually, so I won't be born with my hands!"
Chen Yingxue raised her mouth and said, "If Teacher Jiang knows, I will criticize you. But I will take time to paint seriously every day."
"Then I have to work hard, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with you!" Song Yi replied with a smile, thinking in his heart that I can't compare with the leisurely young lady! Miss Shen doesn't come to school when she is unhappy. She can still get one or two hours a day, and she also goes out to travel from time to time, called "Traveling in the field, sketching, and it's like a fairy-like life.
Chen Yingxue was happy to hear it, feeling that the steps under her feet seemed to be lighter, and her words were less arrogant and more tenderness that she had never discovered. She didn't know when it started to fall in love with the feeling of chatting with him. No, it should be said that she didn't even take the initiative to realize this.
After the two walked side by side to the classroom, Song Yi proposed to look at her newly designed jewelry. He also knew that she must have brought it with her, and placed it in her exquisite handbag.
Chen Yingxue did not disappoint him and took out her newly designed jewelry from her small bag. The first one she took out was a pearl diamond necklace, "This one was so angry..."
This is a work of complex and exquisite shape. It is a heart-shaped 18k white gold necklace with many branches and is dotted with many crystal-shining broken diamonds. It can be seen that these diamonds are the blooming flowers. At the end of each branch are warm and shiny white pearls, representing fruits.
Song Yi looked at him with great gaze. He had heard Qiao Yurou say before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt even more shocked. He really couldn't underestimate the inspiration of human design. He was not stingy with his praise, "Yingxue is indeed Bingxue smart. I feel inferior to this talent!"
Chen Yingxue, who received praise, was in a good mood. After being humble, she took out another ring called Yi Jiangnan.
This name is taken from Bai Juyi's memory of Jiangnan, "The flowers in the river are redder than fire when the sun rises, and the river waters are as green as blue when the spring comes."
Generally speaking, the design on the ring is simple and capable due to limited space. Most jade rings like gold and jade jewelry often do not need to be too shy, but just highlight the exquisite true color of jade.
But this time, Chen Yingxue was abnormal and cleverly connected many small particles of red and sapphires. In addition to being very streamlined, these gems can also sway with the ring, creating a very dynamic and beautiful artistic conception like the Chunshui River Flower.
Such an exquisite design surprised Song Yi. Although he knew that Chen Yingxue's talent was not low, he still had to admire her imaginative imagination when he saw the work she designed. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Yingxue's design level is sophisticated!"
It is worth mentioning that the inlaying craftsmanship of these two pieces of jewelry is also unique.
Especially for such complex designs, in addition to the high standards of design, the requirements for inlaying technology are even higher. If a small detail is not done well, the entire work may be ruined. This also reflects from the indirection that the foundation accumulated by Fuxiang Silver Building over the past century is not a false reputation.
At this time, Qiao Yurou entered the classroom, came over and said hello, and was recognized by Song Yi. Chen Yingxue, who was proud and satisfied, hurriedly invited her to sit together.
Song Yi also said that if we discussed common progress together, Qiao Yurou could not refuse and sat next to Song Yi.
Although Qiao Yurou has seen these two jewelry, she still feels beautiful when she appreciates them again. She does not stingy with her praise. "I personally like this piece of angrily heartbroken, and it feels like the vigorous vitality of spring. This is the inspiration for Yingxue to go out to celebrate the spring!"
Chen Yingxue nodded with a smile, but in fact she felt that this was a portrayal of her current mood.
Song Yi said, "I think this Jiangnan has a more snow-like style. The necklace has a large space, so it is not surprising that it can be made. But being able to make such a picture like a fairyland on the ring is really a bold innovation. It may be a bit exaggerated to start a sect, but it is an indisputable fact that it leads the trend for a while."
After hearing Song Yi's praise of such high standards, Chen Yingxue was so happy that she didn't know where she was.
"This is how design is. We need to be bold, no matter how bold! Only by letting go of our imagination can we reach a higher level." Song Yi finally commented on Chen Yingxue's new work, mainly talking about the novelty and bold design, the reasonable color matching, and the exquisite and flawless details.
"Yingxue's talent in this area is indeed extraordinary! Being one of the few jewelry design masters in the world is just around the corner."
Chen Yingxue heard all the good words, which was also the recognition of her hard work by others. Naturally, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. Her pretty cheeks were dyed with a few red glows, and her eyebrows and eyes were circling, and her charm suddenly appeared. Her whole body became more and more beautiful and thrilling.
Song Yi was so excited that this was also her most beautiful and moving moment, but he was not addicted to it. He quickly said, "Does Yingxue plan to promote these two jewelry so that more people can appreciate it?"
"Before I had time, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Yingxue did not show too passionately. Unconsciously, she felt that as long as she got his approval, she would be very happy. If more people could know, it would not be a bad thing, but that's all.
"I think the domestic market is a bit saturated, and the appreciation level needs to be improved. Yingxue, have you ever thought of opening a jewelry store in Hong Kong or other places to display your own design works? I think it is completely feasible to use the level of your two jewelry pieces." Song Yi sincerely suggested, and as far as he knows, Fuxiang Yinlou has never gone abroad. With Chen Yingxue's talent, he feels like a dark pearl.
"Just like many celebrities or well-known jewelry designers open jewelry stores themselves?" Chen Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she had seen many such jewelry stores.
"yes!"
"I think, but unfortunately my family won't agree." Chen Yingxue's eyes soon dimmed. In the eyes of others, she is a young lady who doesn't tell the world, but over the years, she has a deep understanding of Fuxiang Yinlou. Although it has a brand of a century-old store, it is not easy to expand. Fuxiang Yinlou's main business is in China, and if it is not handled well, it will cause crisis. It is not as good as the emerging ambitions of gold and jade jewelry, which can expand overseas.
Song Yi said, "If Yingxue is willing, there is no other way!"
"Really?" Chen Yingxue was very confused. What good way could he have?v
Chapter completed!
