Chapter 304 The opponent is himself
But the attitude towards Luo Hao and the four masters are the same.
As long as Luo Hao is here, the champion will definitely be stable. Luo Hao's level is no less than the four of them, and it is even stronger than the four of them.
They are already the top masters in the country, and are even stronger than them. If they participate in the competition for jade carvers under the age of 45, as long as they perform normally, the championship will definitely be a foregone conclusion and will not run away.
As for Luo Hao and others participating in the competition, will it be shameful to win?
None of the four experts thought about this.
Among the four top experts in the north, one of them had previously relied on his youth to participate for five consecutive years and won the championship for five years until he was 45 years old.
If the north can do this, they can do it in the south, and Luo Hao is younger and will be able to dominate the list for a longer time in the future.
At that time, Mr. Wang also took this eye on it and was willing to teach Luo Hao, even if he didn't have the name of a master and apprentice.
Shang Xin went to the library quickly and came back quickly. He came back in a depressed mood at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"The book that Mr. Shang wants to read is gone!"
He Pingjiang's son explained in a low voice that this time the library was rectified, a batch of old books were sent to the provincial library.
And there is really a book called "Jade Miscellaneous Talks" among the books sent away. It's a pity that this book was indeed a little older and was sent to the provincial library for storage alone.
Because I just sent it to the provincial library, I can't borrow it even if I go to the provincial library.
He Pingjiang's son could still help in Pingzhou's library, but when he arrived in the province, he could do nothing and could only let Mr. Shang wait a little longer and then go to the provincial library to borrow it in the future.
Luo Hao was secretly glad that he was lucky and escaped.
He didn't expect that the title of a book he made up randomly actually had. Shang Xin shouldn't doubt what he said. Shang Xin failed to see the book because he was unlucky.
He Pingjiang kept the business letter, and the two old men chatted there.
The two of them talked about Luo Hao, and they were very satisfied with Luo Hao's talent. They spoke from time to time and soft and cheerful voices sounded from time to time.
The game the day after tomorrow will set off tomorrow.
There was no drinking at night, and the next morning, Luo Hao came to pick He Pingjiang up and set off for Jieyang together.
Shang Xin also followed him. Although his purpose was not achieved, Luo Hao was just in the match, so he simply followed him to take a look.
Luo Hao had called Hu Biao and asked him to install the same business car for all branches. In this way, Luo Hao would not have to borrow a car from Shishuang Company when he came to Pingzhou again.
The distance from Pingzhou to Jieyang is not close, and three people arrived in the afternoon.
The organizer arranged a hotel, but Luo Hao did not ask for it. He took the two masters to the best hotel directly. He still had the money. Since both masters followed, he could not let the two elders down.
After checking in at the hotel, He Pingjiang immediately took the two of them to visit Master Xia.
Master Xia has been very busy these days. The contestants from all over the world who came to participate in the jade carving competition have basically arrived in Jieyang these two days. Many people visited him. When the three of them arrived, Master Xia had just sent away a group of people.
"Luo Hao, it depends on you this time!"
When Master Xia saw Luo Hao, he immediately smiled and could tell that he was in a good mood.
In recent years, there have been several good seedlings in the south, but there is still a certain gap compared with the players in the north. Only Luo Hao, which amazed them the most.
Like He Pingjiang, Master Xia understands Luo Hao's beliefs and believes that Luo Hao will definitely win the championship by participating in the competition.
As for tomorrow's rematch, it's purely a fiasco for Luo Hao, and he can definitely pass it.
The four of them have gathered together, and their level is no less than that of them. If they fail the rematch, it means that the four of them are all living in the stones at their age.
"Hello, Master Xia, this is my Master Shangxin!"
Luo Hao greeted him politely and introduced Shangxin to Master Xia. Master Xia and Shangxin were complimenting each other again.
Although Shang Xin is not a person in the jade carving world, he is an expert and master in the antique world.
Shang Xin has also worked in the Palace Museum and is a truly capable person. He admires such people, regardless of all walks of life.
The same is true for Master Xia. Shang Xin had known about Master Xia's existence for a long time and had identified his jade artifacts before, but it was the first time that the real person had seen him.
Listening to the two of them smug each other, Luo Hao smiled.
"Old He, you should accompany Mr. Shang first, let me talk to Luo Hao!"
The two of them ended up praising each other, and the topic turned to Luo Hao unnaturally. Master Xia said to He Pingjiang, and he took Luo Hao out.
"Luo Hao, do you understand the rules of the rematch?"
As the two walked, Luo Hao nodded immediately: "I understand!"
"What are you ready to do?"
Master Xia asked again, the rematch will be two rounds in total, which means that each person needs to make two works, and the 18 people with the highest total score will be selected to participate in the final.
The two works are scored by nine experts and the average score is calculated.
In the first ten sessions, there were ten expert judges, but one highest score and the lowest score had to be removed to prevent someone from cheating.
Later, the restructuring was carried out, with nine experts ratings, and the highest and lowest scores were no longer removed.
Although this may not avoid favors, because it is more open, even if it is favors, it is not daring to do it blatantly.
And although Master Xia and Luo Hao are really a master and apprentice, if Luo Hao really does not do well, they will not give high scores, which will save embarrassment to the finals.
But Master Xia believes that Luo Hao can do it well and will never disappoint them.
"Have it!"
Luo Hao replied again that in this final, he was going to do the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and the Hundred Birds Paying Forest.
He has done both of these things and is familiar with them. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it is inevitable to get high scores.
When Master Xia learned what Luo Hao was going to do, he nodded.
The rating rules are very complicated. The first thing to look at is carving, and secondly, the more you need to look at the carving. The more complicated the things, the more points you can add.
Eight Immortals Cross the Sea and hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix are not small things. As long as you can do these two things well, you will definitely get high scores.
"Your opponent is not them, not even those people in the finals. There is only one opponent, that is yourself, can you beat yourself every time?"
Master Xia asked again, they were all very clear about Luo Hao's strength.
These jade carvers in the south are definitely not his opponents, and the same is true in the north, unless they are the old guys in person.
But even if they end up, they may not be Luo Hao's opponent.
So Luo Hao has no opponent. If he has an opponent, there is only one person, that is himself.
As long as he can win himself every time and do better at once, then winning the championship is inevitable.
“Have confidence!”
Luo Hao nodded again, Luo Hao was really confident in his jade carving.
His jade carvings are not purely learned. Strictly speaking, their jade carvings come from the system.
Moreover, the jade carving technique has been improved and can reach the level of a master. If such ability cannot beat those young jade carvers, his jade carving technique will be completely useless.
He also agreed with Master Xia's words.
He has no opponent, only himself. As long as he can win every time, he will be better than once, that is victory.
"It's good to have confidence. I have two competitions and once I have to bring my own raw materials. Have you brought the raw materials?"
Master Xia said another sentence, and Luo Hao was stunned.
"Bring your own raw materials?"
"What, He Pingjiang hasn't told you?"
Master Xia frowned, and Luo Hao hurriedly said, "I said it, I forgot it myself. It doesn't matter. I'll buy one now!"
In fact, He Pingjiang didn't say anything at all. Luo Hao admitted it because he was afraid that Master Xia would blame He Pingjiang.
He Pingjiang was really negligent this time. In his opinion, Luo Hao's jade carvings are already top-notch. He forgot that it was his first time participating in the jade carving competition and always treated him as a powerful player.
Fortunately, there is still time now, so I have to bring my own raw materials, which is completely time.
The two rematches were once provided by the organizing committee, which were all very ordinary bean-type raw materials, and everyone had the same raw materials. In this way, the carved things can be more targeted and contrasty.
Another time, the contestants brought their own.
This allows the players to perform and show their strength to the greatest extent.
The better the raw materials you bring, the more beneficial it is. The better the raw materials, the more beautiful the finished product you make.
For a long time, most of the ingredients prepared by themselves are raw materials of ice or above. In order to achieve good results, many contestants spend a lot of money to buy, and even cooperate with jewelry companies to obtain such good ingredients.
But they will not suffer any losses. The things they make will definitely be more expensive than the raw materials when they are sold.
After all, they are all contestants participating in the rematch. Looking around the country, they are all among the top hundreds of experts. Some jewelry companies are willing to purchase their finished products or provide them with raw materials for them to carve.
Afterwards, the jewelry company will also pay them processing fees.
As for the raw materials provided by the organizing committee, they will be recycled by the organizing committee after the game and the works will be auctioned.
This alone can make the organizing committee profit a lot. Although the organizing committee only provides ordinary bean raw materials, the carving is good and the auction situation can make a lot every year.
Especially the works carved by seed contestants can be sold at a high price every time.
Last year's champion, the sculptor in Beijing, was photographed at a high price of one million in the rematch, and the final work was photographed at three million, making the capital a big profit.
"You can take a look first. If not, I have it here. I have it for you!"
Master Xia said again, before Luo Hao came, he really prepared, and it was a piece of high ice-type raw material. Unfortunately, glass-type is hard to come by, and he didn't have it either.
Luo Hao did, but unfortunately he didn't know the process of the competition before, so he sold all the glass types.
Chapter completed!
