Chapter 158 A deposit of one million?
"Hello, sir, I didn't mean to offend me, but I really can't believe that you have such a high carving art at such a young age. Please forgive me for my shallow understanding."
The man immediately apologized like Lin Yue. Seeing that Mr. Zhou said so affirmatively, and Lin Yue showed so calmness, he felt a little convinced in his heart.
Hearing the man's words, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the other party's tutor could still feel angry after these words.
If the other party directly uses money to hire him, then he has to consider whether he needs to help with this. Carving is an art. Art can make money, but he must not succumb to money. If you want to make money and learn something, it would be very sad. However, the other party did not use money to hire him, but showed a very humble look. Now Lin Yue was a little moved.
Lin Yue had already learned about the simple situation this morning. He should be able to help the other party with filial piety. He had no words to consider Mr. Zhou's face. What Mr. Zhou meant just now was undoubtedly to ask him to help this, so he would have no chance to take care of Mr. Zhou's face, so he could help with this.
Lin Yue is still confident that he can complete a wooden carved picture of blessings, wealth, longevity and longevity in two days.
"You're welcome, you're too humble."
"You forgive me. Thank you so much. My grandfather likes wood carvings very much. He is in poor health. I want to give him a pair of wood carvings that are good for him, and it is also a blessing for him to be healthy. The day after tomorrow it will be his birthday, so you can't help me. Mr. Zhou said that no one except you can do it, please! You don't need to consider the money issue. I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. Please!"
The man said it sincerely, and even the most stern-hearted person with his expression may be soft-hearted.
Lin Yue did not rush to agree. He wanted to see what kind of carving it was. If he didn't know the situation, he rashly agreed not his style. If he agreed but couldn't do it, it would be a bit of a trick.
"Can you first talk about what kind of pictures you want to carve, what proportions, and what kind of graphics? Hollow carving or relief?"
Lin Yue asked.
"You wait first!"
The man ran out immediately, and Lin Yue did not refuse to let him see a glimmer of hope.
Not long after, the man and his driver walked in with a large piece of wood.
Seeing this, Lin Yue and his friends hurriedly stepped forward to help. When they walked into Lin Yue, they observed the size of the wood in front of them. It was definitely cut off from a big tree that was not many years old. It was a plate-shaped wood, about one meter long, one meter wide, and about fifteen centimeters thick. You can imagine how big the tree cut off from this piece of wood was.
After carefully observing the wood, Lin Yue immediately confirmed that the wood in front of him was African rosewood, which belongs to the second-class wood carving. The first class was Huanghuali and rosewood, both of which were basically extinct. There is Huanghuali in Hainan, and it takes hundreds of years to grow in diameter to be four or five centimeters thick. It is conceivable that the degree of preciousness is that furniture made of Huanghuali wood has become a collection. The second class is black rosewood, black wood, and African rosewood. Although it is also relatively precious, it has not yet disappeared. This is the first time Lin Yue has seen such a piece of African rosewood, which costs at least millions of yuan.
From this we can see that the man in front of him must have a very good family background and is also very filial. He has been scrapped if he wants to get such a large piece of wood. Not only that, this piece of wood is cut just right, but it has definitely been guided by professionals.
Several people put the wood down. Zhou looked at it and was amazed. He had never seen such African rosewood.
Just as everyone was checking the wood, the man went out to the car outside to retrieve a scroll of ancient paintings.
After opening it, a "Fu Lu Shou Three Stars Birthday Picture" appeared immediately. The three gods of Fu Lu Shou are in a perfect face and are very happy. They make people appreciate their new love at first glance and are filled with joy. Not only that, the three gods also have a slight sense of dust. This painting can be seen from the hands of famous masters.
"Can you carve the expression and manners of the Three Stars of Fu Lu Shou in this painting?"
The man looked at Lin Yue with a burning look, but he also knew that the requirements were a bit too much, because paintings are different from wood carvings. Flat paintings can arbitrarily express the expressions of characters. After all, they are two-dimensional, while carvings are three-dimensional, and they pay more attention to them. It is good to be able to carve the image, and the similarity of carving is a bit too much.
Although Lin Yue didn't know how to appreciate the painting, he could feel it with his heart. Seeing the painting in front of him, he immediately had the expression and behavior of the three gods and the image he wanted to express. Without this painting, he would never have drawn the image of the Three Stars of Fu Lu Shou so quickly, but it would be different with this painting. He immediately gave him a direction, and he could naturally think of many things along this direction.
However, what Lin Yue formed his own feelings in his mind, not exactly like the one in this painting. Every sculptor has his own style. If he imitates others, he will fall into the lower level. A sculptor who strictly regulates himself will never allow himself to do this.
"Yes, but it's impossible to be exactly the same."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said.
The man thought Lin Yue was so happy that he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you. This work will be needed the morning after tomorrow. I don't know if you can really complete it. It's not that I doubt your strength, but that I don't want to be disappointed because of too much hope. I have been disappointed many times, so please forgive me for being straightforward."
Lin Yue didn't say anything, just said one word "can", which showed his strong confidence.
Hearing Lin Yue's words and looking at Lin Yue's very affirmative expression, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took out the check, signed it quickly, and handed it to Lin Yueshu Duao: "This is a deposit, please accept it."
Deposit?
Lin Yue was slightly stunned. This was the first time he made money by carving. He was a little excited. Soon he reacted and took the check. Although he was helping, he could not help for free. If he was in financial difficulties, he would help him, and he would definitely not complain. However, the person in front of him was a very wealthy person, so he naturally had to accept some money. When he saw the numbers above, he was stunned again.
One million?!
The deposit is only one million?
Is it really that expensive to carve a piece?
Lin Yue has been practicing ancient carving. If he asked him to tell the price of a piece of porcelain or jade, he would definitely come out. However, if you asked him to tell the value of the carvings, he would be a little troubled. He did not expect that the carvings would be worth so much. He was originally worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in one dimension, but the other party actually paid a million in just a deposit.
