At this moment, when Zhou Xiulong was stunned when he saw Mr. Wang smiling and responding to Chen Yi's greeting, how could this be possible? What kind of identity is Mr. Wang, a national jade carving master, and there are only more than a dozen such people in the entire Tianjing Jade Factory. How could he respond to the greeting of Mr. Chen Yi? There must be so many people watching him, Mr. Wang is acting like this.

Not only Zhou Xiulong, but even the others next to him were surprised. They hadn't said hello to these old men before, but these old men just nodded. They didn't look like Chen Yi, and even smiled and spoke in a kind tone.

The most surprising thing was the old man who was guarding the door next to him. He knew that Mr. Wang had disdain for Chen Yi before. Even if it was the opening ceremony now, with Mr. Wang's personality, he would not be able to smile and talk to Chen Yi. What's going on?

After Chen Yi left, one or two people outside the door also tried to say hello to Mr. Wang and others. Mr. Wang, like the others, nodded gently.

"Old Wang, who is that young man? You don't think you are very different to him." When there was no one around them, some old men asked curiously. But they knew Mr. Wang's personality and could not say hello to a young man so politely.

Mr. Wang smiled mysteriously, "I can only tell you that he is from the jade carving in Lingzhou. As for the others, keep it confidential."

"Lingzhou Jade Diao, haven't Lao Gu and the others confiscated their new apprentices for a few years? Some apprentices left after less than three years of learning. This time they won't send new people here." An old man said in surprise when he heard the words of Mr. Wang.

"Hehe. I don't know how good this young man is. But I know he is not an ordinary person." Mr. Wang continued to maintain his mystery. How could a person who could be attracted by Mr. Fu and amazed them in tea making can be an ordinary person.

Judging from Chen Yi's confidence, it seems that this competition is not a problem. He is now looking forward to what kind of light Chen Yi will emit in this jade carving competition.

"Oh. So we have to pay more attention to him. Hey, why is this old man here? We didn't seem to invite him." An old man looked at Chen Yi in the crowd and showed expectations on his face. At this time, when he saw an old man walking in, he couldn't help but say in surprise.

Seeing this old man, Mr. Wang immediately laughed and stepped forward to say hello. "Brother Lu, what wind is this? It blows you."

"Why, jade carvings are also a kind of antique and cultural relics. Let me see if the development of jade carvings is not good. If they are not welcome, I will leave." Mr. Lu looked at Mr. Wang at this time and said bluntly.

"How can it be? Mr. Lu, we want you to come and watch it." The old men immediately laughed.

Mr. Lu shook his head and smiled, "Okay, I'm just here to see what the opening ceremony is. I won't attend." Then Mr. Lu walked over and greeted some other friends in the circle, such as the Jade Association, the Art and Crafts Association, etc.

The judges of this competition are not entirely composed of jade carving masters from the jade factory, but are the president of the Tianjin Jade Association, the president of the Art and Crafts Association, as well as some well-known jade carving masters from various schools, plus the two jade carving masters from the jade carving factory, and a total of seven judges.

These jade carving masters of various schools are extremely famous throughout the country, and have seven judges reviewed together. Even if they want to go through the back door, it is impossible.

However, the three of the jade carving masters from various schools do not exist in Lingnan Province. I don’t know if they were not invited or they didn’t want to come.

Chen Yi did not take this seriously. This competition was just to let everyone know that Lingzhou jade carvings had inherited people. As for the bonuses, he didn't care.

After all the personnel from various jade carving schools were fully arrived, the opening ceremony officially began. The president of Tianjin Jade Association, the president of the Art and Crafts Association and other leaders stepped forward to deliver the opening speech of the jade carving competition, and wished that the descendants of all schools of jade carvings can achieve a good result and perfectly display the jade carvings of their own schools.

Chen Yi roughly watched it. As guessed at that banquet, there were almost ten jade carving schools in this jade carving competition, with nearly thirty people. There were only four main jade carving schools in China, but there were so many branches under this genre. There were some famous jade carving masters appearing almost everywhere, and only four were divided into them, which could no longer show the brilliant achievements of Chinese jade carving.

The opening ceremony was basically boring, but fortunately, this opening ceremony did not take too long and was completed in 10 or 20 minutes. After the opening ceremony was completed, the president of the Tianjin Jade Association solemnly announced that the jade carving competition had officially begun.

Under the guidance of some staff, many contestants from the jade carving genre entered the Jade Factory building one by one and came to the conference room on the second floor.

I came to the large conference room on the second floor. The conference room was about 200 square meters. At this time, about thirty tables were placed in the conference room. Each table was very large. On the table, there was a small plastic basket, and the mouth of the plastic basket was sealed with a lid. However, from the tiny gaps in the plastic basket, it was seen that it was filled with jade, including Hetian jade, jade, and other varieties of jade.

Looking at these jades that have not been carved, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile and understood what the first question of distinguishing the types of jades was. It should be a basket of jades for each person, and distinguishing the types and levels of all the jades in the basket. This is the most basic skill of being a jade carver.

"Dear contestants, please find your own position according to the names marked on the table. After that, I will announce the rules of the competition. Please wait in the back of the conference room for companions of each jade carving genre. During this period, you must not walk around at will, let alone make noise. Otherwise, you will be invited out of the conference room." At this time, the main judge of the jade carving competition and the president of the Tianjing Jade Association stood on the rostrum and said through the microphone.

In the back of the conference room of Chang Yongjun station, he pissed his three junior brothers on the shoulder and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "Brother Chen. Go. Come on."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile. Nearly thirty contestants quickly found their positions under the guidance of the staff. The positions of each genre were completely disrupted, ensuring that there were no people from the same genre in front, back, left and right of each genre contestant.

When he came to the table marked with his name, Chen Yi looked at it and found that in addition to the plastic basket, there were also paper and pens on the table. This should require the grade and type of jade to be written on paper instead of directly speaking out. This not only saves time, but also gives contestants the opportunity to modify it. Therefore, based on this, there must be a mark on the jade.

After all the people from various jade carving schools stood in their own positions, the staff checked again and made sure there were no mistakes, and nodded to the main judge on the stage.

"Okay, all contestants. You have found your own position. Below. I announce the rules of the competition. There is a plastic basket on the left side of your table, and there are twenty jade pieces. What you have to do is to distinguish the types, colors, grades, and jade. If you have to distinguish the quality of jade, you must distinguish the quality of jade. These requirements are reflected on the paper in front of you. What you have to do is to distinguish each piece of jade and write it on the paper with a pen."

"It's nine-thirty now. You have an hour and a half to distinguish these twenty jade pieces. That is to say, the average time you can distinguish a piece of jade is more than four minutes. After the competition is completed, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your results. A piece of jade is five points, with a total score of one hundred. For each wrong feature, the five points of the entire jade will be deducted directly. If a feature is blank, points will be deducted according to the importance of this feature. Therefore, if you cannot distinguish it, then you are there, instead of pretending to understand and filling in randomly, a jade carver will not distinguish it. This is not ridiculous. What is ridiculous is the error of discerning."

"During this period, you must not whisper, walk around at will, and you must not hit the tabletop with jade... Otherwise, you will be driven out of the competition venue. The score of this game is zero. Okay, please sit now. I announce that the competition has officially begun. Please remove the sealed lid and start to distinguish the jade."

Chen Yi smiled, sat down slowly, took off the lid of the plastic basket, placed it under the table, and looked into the basket. These twenty pieces of jade were big and small, good and bad, and almost all of them were of color.

He picked up a piece of jade casually. The number three marked on this piece of jade was taken in his hand and looked carefully. He shook his head and smiled. This piece of jade was a piece of stick jade, and it was the medium level of stick jade, which was only five hundred yuan per kilogram.

After looking at the white paper on the table, the items that need to be distinguished from jade are marked above each sheet, and they are only unique to jade or Hetian jade, and are also marked specifically at the back.

As for the filling in the place below, there is no marking. Participants should need to fill in randomly based on the jade number they have received.

Looking at the stick jade and looking at the items on the paper, he smiled, picked up a pen and wrote it on the paper, No. 3 jade, type: stick jade, color: brown, grade: third grade, and some characteristics of his identification level were marked at the back. Among the nephrite, Hetian jade is naturally represented, and the Hetian jade that China believes is only the newly-surfaced Hetian jade. In a broad sense, stick jade also belongs to Hetian jade, so it must be based on the level of Hetian jade.

For Hetian jade, there are five levels: special level, first level, second level, third level, and fourth level. According to the overall characteristics of jade, the best is the best and the worst is the best.

Chen Yi didn't know that he only needed to write the grade, but he still needed to analyze the grade characteristics of the jade, so he simply wrote it together. If he wrote too much, it would be much better than if he wrote less.

The second piece is a jadeite. Chen Yi looked at it and found that this jadeite was a piece of jadeite of certain value, but it was not very valuable. Moreover, its type of water is very similar to another type of water, but this did not stump his eyesight. Then he wrote about the type of jadeite, which was bright and green in color, and the white background was green in color.

He does not need to use identification techniques for this kind of simple jade.

At this moment, a gentle word suddenly came from the side, "Chen Yi, this piece of jade has the characteristics of two types of water, white background and flower green. Why are you so sure that it is white background and green?"

Chen Yi raised his head and looked at it, but smiled. There were several people standing in front of him. He didn't expect that Mr. Lu would come here, standing beside him with Mr. Wang, and the one who made the sound just now was Mr. Wang.

"Old Wang, I haven't finished writing yet." Chen Yi smiled and wrote a passage behind the seed water. The jadeite was white as the base, with green like clouds floating on it. There was a clear transition between green and white, so it was not like the green of the flower green, and there was no rules, so it was a white-based green.

After seeing the identification information in my mind, some of the texts written by Chen Yi now also had some tone of the identification information.

The old men next to him showed surprise when they saw the words written by Chen Yi, "Young Master Chen, have you decided to write every piece of jade like this? This is not within the limits specified in the competition."

Being able to distinguish levels and being able to write down the characteristics of distinguishing levels are two different concepts. A person's level may be able to distinguish levels based on some characteristics, but it is much more difficult to let him write about how to distinguish them than simply writing about levels. Moreover, they also wrote this way when they saw Chen Yi on a stick jade.

"Old Wang, I'm used to it. When I was studying at Lingzhou Jade Factory, they often asked me to distinguish the characteristics of a piece of jade. In time, I formed this habit." Chen Yi said with a smile. Distinguishing the characteristics of jade was not a problem for him.

The old men nodded, with a little surprised. Unexpectedly, only one person came to participate in the Lingzhou Jade Carving, which had not participated in a few years, but his skills were so solid.

"Xiaoyou Chen, continue the competition. If you feel that there is not enough time, just write down the level." Mr. Wang patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and reminded.

Each piece of jade has to be distinguished for four minutes and has to be written. This takes up a lot of time. He doesn't want Chen Yi to delay the answer to the entire game because of such carefulness.

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, and then Old Lu patted his shoulder, encouraged him for a while, and then walked to the other person's position and watched their answers.
