Lu Cheng visited a lot of shops and found a jade carving shop that he liked.
How do you say it's pleasing to the eye? Because everyone inside has a very natural smile, not the kind of fake smile that treats customers, but joy from the bottom of their hearts.
When Lu Cheng came, he had already activated the disguise talisman, otherwise others would know who he was at a glance.
A female clerk in her mid-twenties, with an average appearance, an oval face, crescent eyebrows, a slightly chubby figure, and a soft smile asked: "Sir, what do you need?"
Lu Cheng pointed at the certificates hanging on the wall and asked: "I see that these Lu Zigang Cup Gold Medals, Arts and Crafts Hundred Flowers Awards, Kowloon Cup Gold Medals, and Folk Art Expo Excellence Awards are all awarded to Teacher Zhang Anqi. Which one? Is it Teacher Zhang?"
The female clerk turned around and took a look. There was a middle-aged woman sitting drinking tea, and five or six young people were busy carving.
"The one drinking tea is Teacher Zhang. Do you have any good information that you would like to ask Teacher Zhang to help you with?"
"I want to learn jade painting. I wonder if Teacher Zhang is willing to accept a disciple?"
"Here... wait a moment, I'll ask you."
The female clerk walked over and said a few words to Zhang Anqi.
Zhang Anqi glanced at Lu Cheng, stood up and walked over, looking at Lu Cheng with a smile on her face, and said, "You want to learn jade withering? What is the purpose?"
Lu Cheng said, "I have a large piece of jade that I would like to carve into a handicraft."
The reason why he came to learn jade painting was not to be fashionable or to make money, but for a special reason.
Previously, he mainly relied on a jade carving machine to make jade charms. However, the carving machine had limitations. It was okay to carve small pieces, but it could not carve large ones.
If he wanted to make the formation plate, he had to carve it by hand. He carved a piece of spiritual jade two or three feet in diameter into an octagonal shape, and carved hundreds of strokes on each surface to form the central rune.
Lu Cheng feels that the jade talismans made in the future will become more and more complex. You cannot just rely on the engraving machine. It is necessary to learn a craft. Moreover, the engraving machine cannot be taken to other worlds. How will you make jade talismans in front of others in the future? Woolen cloth?
Zhang Anqi smiled and said: "I am very strict in recruiting apprentices and have to examine them for a long time. See what you mean, I don't want to get ahead in the jade carving industry, right? In this case, you don't need to become my teacher. You can first learn from my apprentices. Basic engraving techniques.
I have some apprentices who are very good and have already graduated. For example, the person who just received you is called 'Wang Chengzhi'. Although she looks young, she is already an intermediate jade master.
Otherwise, would you like to learn from Xiao Wang? The initial tuition fee is 1,000 yuan per month, and the tuition fee will be waived depending on the situation in the later period. If you can start alone and carve basic workpieces, you can also be given a small salary. what do you think? "
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay to learn from Teacher Wang. I bring my own jade materials, and I can pay more for tuition, which is 10,000 yuan per month. But there is one condition. The time when I come is not fixed. I hope the teacher will not If you mind, please teach me the carving technique seriously."
Zhang Anqi was surprised when she heard this, and felt a little regretful. She said to herself: "I didn't expect him to be a rich man. If I had known this, I would have taught him personally."
However, the words had already been spoken and she couldn't change any more, so she looked at Wang Chengzhi and said, "I have found a good apprentice for you. You can teach her with all your heart!"
Wang Chengzhi was in a daze and thought, "Can I make money by teaching my disciples?"
Her monthly salary is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a sudden increase of 10,000 yuan is not a small amount.
So she quickly woke up and said to Lu Cheng: "No problem, you can come anytime. From nine in the morning to six in the afternoon. If you have any questions, just ask. If I don't understand, just ask Teacher Zhang for advice. By the way. , I forgot to ask, what is your name? Where are you from? What is your age? What education do you have? I need to understand these things before I can teach students in accordance with their aptitude."
Lu Cheng said: "My name is 'Lu You', I am 23 years old, have a bachelor's degree and am from the north."
"What major did you study? Why don't you find a job, but you have time to study jade?"
"I studied Chinese medicine, but I didn't realize until I graduated that I didn't like working from 9 to 5. My family is relatively well off, so there's no need for me to make money. Studying jade is just a side hobby."
"Okay then, let me first introduce you to the basic tools of jade carving..."
Wang Chengzhi teaches sincerely and is very enthusiastic.
After that, Lu Cheng often came to this shop called "Anqi Baiyutang" and stayed in the shop for two or three hours at a time to learn various carving techniques.
Lu Cheng's original intention was to learn some basic techniques, but jade carving was extensive and profound, such as the beautiful chain carvings and interlocking jade rings. There were many finished products that people couldn't put down, and he fell in love with them as he continued to learn.
On August 25, "Wulinfeng" held a board meeting and through online voting, the minority obeyed the majority and Lu Cheng was selected as the new chairman.
Subsequently, the new chairman Lu Cheng held an online meeting and had a video call with CEO Li Hongguang and coo and o to discuss the next step of company operations.
Lu Cheng suggested giving up mixed martial arts and switching to a duel between the major schools of traditional martial arts, divided into individual competitions and team competitions.
In the individual competition, regardless of any boxing type, you can register to participate, but the registration fee is relatively expensive, and you have to pass three levels in a row before you can enter the main competition.
For the team competition, eight major schools will be selected in the early stage, namely Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng, Tai Chi, Xingyi, Nan Quan and Bei Kou, and can be gradually expanded in the later stage. This is equivalent to a martial arts league, similar to a football league.
To be honest, the Chinese martial arts system is too complicated!
Named after "Buddhas, Saints, Taoists, Immortals, Gods and Ghosts", there are Yishen Fist, Menghe Fist, Erlang Fist, Weituo Fist, Great Sage Fist, Eight Immortals Fist, Tianluo Fist, Disha Fist, Six Star Fist, Nezha Fist, etc. .
Named after "men" are Yumen Quan, Hard Gate Quan, Famen Quan, Kongmen Quan, Hongmen Quan, Yumen Quan, Kongmen Quan, Fengmen Quan, etc.
Those named after their surnames include Liu Jiaquan, Cai Jiaquan, Li Jiaquan, Mo Jiaquan, Wu Jiaquan, Xue Jiaquan, Yue Jiaquan, etc.
There are many named after people, such as Yanqing Quan, Taizu Quan, Sun Bin Quan, Wuzu Quan, Chunyang Quan, Bodhidharma Quan, Xuannv Quan, Wuhou Quan, Wulang Quan, Wensheng Quan, Nanzhi Quan, and Wing Chun. Boxing, etc., more than 100 types.
There are so many names named after animals, such as dragon boxing, snake boxing, tiger boxing, leopard boxing, crane boxing, lion boxing, elephant boxing, plum blossom mantis boxing...
There are also dozens of kinds named after daily sundries; dozens of kinds named after techniques; and those named after footwork and leg techniques include elastic legs, hidden legs, limp legs, amputated legs, connected legs, poke feet, and random steps. , Nine Palaces and Eighteen Legs, Shaolin Twenty-Eight Steps, Progressive Mandarin Duck Legs, etc.
In addition, there are various types of lying boxing and drunken boxing, as well as a large number of equipment routines, which can be said to be dazzling and countless.
With so many types of boxing, how should we organize a competition?
If there is too much movement, it will trigger state intervention.
You are a competitive program, but you also want to build arenas in various places for competitions and drafts? That's obviously impossible.
Therefore, according to Lu Cheng's idea, he can only go from simple to complex, like "The Voice of China", first using the registration fee to block a group of people, and then passing through three levels in a row to wipe out most of them, leaving a small number of masters in the database. Then launch a personal competitive program.
As for the league, they invite Shaolin and Wudang and let them select their own personnel. Anyway, if they lose, they will lose face.
Lu Cheng discussed it with everyone, and everyone said it was difficult to operate.
CEO Li Hongguang said: "It's too late this year. We can try next year. We need to apply now. I don't know if I can get the approval."
Lu Cheng said: "It depends on human effort, just work hard."
No matter what, since he invested in "Wulin Feng", the stock price has doubled. With the rise of "Kunlun Jue", his worth has increased a lot.
According to his conception, from now on, "Wulin Style" will only deal with traditional martial arts, while "Kunlun Jue" will not distinguish between sects, traditional martial arts and Western boxing, and will continue to organize "Steel Opening Hands", "Bawang Ding" and "Tiyunzong" and mixed martial arts competitions organize 10 traditional martial arts vs. MMA competitions every spring. MMA players come from the top ten in the Kunlun Finals, while traditional martial arts players come from the top ten in the "Wulin Style" finals.
In this way, the two media companies he controls can include martial arts masters from all over the world.
He was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. He has no intention of challenging the national order. He just wants to unite martial arts masters, establish a positive image, and contribute to a harmonious society.
If this thing is done, he will be a true "martial arts leader". Although he will not say it clearly, let alone publicize it everywhere, his status in the world is as unquestionable as Mount Tai and Beidou.
You have to ask "What are the benefits of doing this"? Young people, who wants to be unknown, to cast their pearls in secret, and to walk at night in brocade clothes? Not seeking fame, not seeking profit, living in isolation, and forgetting all love, these are attributes of ancient monks and are not what modern monks should be like! Times are progressing, and cultivators should also keep pace with the times.
