"Let's take a look at today's list of entrants!" With a sigh, Tan Fangzhen flipped through the card album on the table.

According to the convention, each Jade King Competition, a maximum of eight finalists will go through three levels of evaluation to finally determine the title of leading the Myanmar jade industry.

But today, there are only three people who can be qualified for the competition!

"Huh?" When looking at the information and resumes of these three people, Tan Fangzhen suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Among these three, there was a girl who was twenty years old!

Her name is Ji Xiaoxin, she is from Huaxia, and she inherits the mantle of the Jade King Ji Hong......qu! Tan Fangzhen vaguely remembers the reputation of the first knife in Nanyang, which is a character often mentioned by the older generation of jade stonemasons, and after many years, he met his descendants here!

What a pity!

In recent years, in the jade industry, the younger generation of talents has withered, and the younger generation, most of them have chosen shortcuts, gambling on stones to become crazy, reselling addiction, and profligacy, and very few people can calm down and learn a little real kung fu. The girl on the roster made Tan Fangzhen very pleased.

Regardless of whether she can match the title of Jade King or not, this tenacity and hard work alone is enough to make the older generation of Chinese jade craftsmen feel that there are successors.

Not only him, but when he saw Ji Xiaoxin's name, Ye Fan was also deeply shocked!

How did this girl come to Myanmar? What a coincidence!

She still wants to inherit the Emerald King's family business?

At the beginning of Xinghai, she seemed to know something about jade, but after all, she had been exposed to it since childhood, and Ye Fan did not know the true situation of Ji Xiaoxin, and her mind was full of questions at the moment. Flipping through the jade Jingjie album on the table, his eyes flickered slightly, and he could only wait and see what happened.

"President Shi has appeared!" Bai Hongde reminded everyone in a low voice.

A large group of Taishan Beidou in the jade world under the leadership of Shi Yunfeng, Yuguan walked out of the backstage, the VIP seats on the field all stood up and applauded, firecrackers were lit in the distance, the crowd shouted, and the triennial Jade King Contest finally began!

As the host of the competition, President Shi was deeply admired by the people, and naturally he gave a generous and exciting speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's Jade King Competition is slightly different from previous years, in view of the fact that there are only three finalists, and the Jade King has not been elected for 16 consecutive years, today the king of this competition will be decided by secret ballot, so as to promote the healthy and steady development of the jade industry and make important contributions to the promotion of jade culture!"

Applause continued, no matter who they were, they all hope to see the birth of the Jade King here today, after all, this kind of grand occasion has not been seen for decades, and being able to witness this grand event is enough to make up for the lifelong regrets of many jade practitioners.

The secret ballot is really a helpless move, which implies the depression of the entire jade industry and the inability to succeed.

From ancient times to the present, all dynasties and generations, jade once prospered for thousands of years, but in modern times, all kinds of high-imitation fakes have proliferated, people's value orientation is more diversified, and the influence of the jade circle has deteriorated, and it is no longer prosperous a hundred years ago.

Perhaps, this is the result of the game between the Chinese technicians and the Burmese gambling kings for many years, and today, both sides have to take half a step back and choose the leader.

After introducing the various cultural celebrities and referees after the stage, President Shi Yunfeng went straight to the point, stood in front of the podium and said: "Guests, now invite the three finalists to the stage!"

To be shortlisted for the Jade King Competition, it must be deeply influential in this industry, and when these three people appeared, the audience applauded loudly and applauded.

"Oh, it's the Jade King Lu Chengxiang!" The old man in the white shirt, who is famous in Myanmar, is one of the best old Jade Kings in the local area, and has participated in nine Jade King competitions, but unfortunately failed to win the Jade King, and has repeatedly missed the leader.

"Sultan East Tycoon!" another exclaimed.

This middle-aged man dressed in traditional Burmese costume is also well-known in Yangon, and the South Asian gambling stone workshop he runs has three "most", the most famous, the largest scale, and the largest jade throughput.

Sultan Dong represents the entire gambling stone industry in Myanmar after his death, and if he is elected as the Jade King, he will naturally seek the best interests for the Burmese and exclude the Chinese.

Today, Lu Chengxiang and Sudan Dong each represent the interests of both parties in this industry, and both of them are full of self-confidence, as if the champion is in the bag.

"Wow, beauty!"

"So young?"

When Ji Xiaoxin, dressed in red and green, walked on stage, the voices of the audience doubled up.

The Jade King Contest has been held for so many sessions, and no woman has ever been qualified to compete on the stage, and today, her appearance is undoubtedly an eye-opener for people, and the applause continues.

This is the eyeball effect, after all, there are far more people watching the excitement than there are people watching the doorway.

Shi Yunfeng couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Ji Xiaoxin, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Today's Jade King Competition, the finalists are Lu Chengxiang, the Jade King, Sultan Dong, the King of Gambling Stones, and Ji Xiaoxin, the heir of the first knife in Nanyang.

A column of beautiful girls lined up in an elegant queue and presented the works of the three to the stage, two of them held jade plates, which were covered with bright red silk, and they presented the entries of Lu Chengxiang and Ji Xiaoxin, as for the masterpieces of Sudandong, they were carried on the stage by four beautiful girls, also covered with red silk.

"Please ask Vice Speaker Wu Shenghao to unveil the entries. President Shi announced loudly.

Ye Fan showed a hint of a smile, and the energy of the Jade Association can be seen by inviting the deputy speaker of the Myanmar National Assembly.

If this association is controlled, it will not only control the best jade resources in Asia, but will even have a great influence on the governance of the entire country in Myanmar.

must help Ji Xiaoxin win the title of Jade King!

Wu Shenghao was dressed in a decent, coffee-colored Burmese dress with a warm smile, his age was the age of attracting bees and butterflies, and as soon as he appeared, he caused the screams of countless girls in the audience, and it seemed to be extremely popular and admired.

In his twenties, he became the deputy speaker of the parliament of Myanmar, an achievement that is naturally unusual in Southeast Asian politics.

"Lao Bai, are there many people with the surname Wu in Myanmar?" Ye Fan casually chatted with Bai Hongde, his eyes glancing at the person who unveiled the three contestants.

"Hehe......" Bai Hongde smiled, lowered his voice to explain the mystery for him: "Mr. Ye doesn't know, all the countries in Southeast Asia have paid tribute to the Chinese emperors, and in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Chinese entered Myanmar, and the most famous families are the surnames Wu, Hu, and Du. These big families have multiplied for hundreds of years, completely changed the culture of Myanmar, exerted their profound influence, and today, the Wu and Du families have long been united and unified, taking turns to sit on the country, and even, in Burmese, Wu means Mr., and Du refers to Madame, as an honorific title. ”

Ye Fan couldn't help but marvel: "Yo, if you want to say this, aren't the Wu and Du families married for generations? What about the surname Hu?"

"Hu, hehe, Wu and Du joined forces to drive them to the Golden Triangle to survive, because the warlord factional struggle in Myanmar in the last century was the embodiment of the wrestling between the three families. Bai Hongde said in a low voice: "Wu Shenghao's family is the first power family in Myanmar, and his father is President Wu Chenghui. ”

The secret that Bai Hongde said really surprised Ye Fan, it turned out that the background of Hu Huairen, the general of the Golden Triangle, actually came from Myanmar. However, he didn't know that the great general had already died at this moment and had reported to the king of Hades.

Wu Shenghao unveiled the jade carving works of the three contestants one by one, the three represent the top skills of the jade industry, their pinnacle work, every unveiling, will inevitably attract countless exclamations and admiration!

The works of the Jade King Lu Chengxiang are-

"Ninety-five Supreme! Good, good! The best yellow dragon jade is the best choice for carving a five-clawed golden dragon!"

"The dragon soars for nine days, overlooking all living beings, with far-reaching implications ......"

"This shape, this process, this technique, this cost, is priceless. ”

The senior judges on the stage nodded frequently.

The Jade King's shot was extraordinary, and Lu Chengxiang smiled, obviously extremely satisfied with the effect of such a scene.

For this three-foot-tall Ninety-Five Supreme, Lu Chengxiang spent two years and four months, meticulously crafting, and finally completed it before the Jade King Competition, hoping to succeed in the first battle and take the first place.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think?" Bai Hongde asked in a low voice.

Ye Fan smiled indifferently: "Longteng overseas, although there is the arrogant chivalrous style of the descendants of Yan and Huang, but ...... It's not easy to win. ”

"What are you talking about? Are you really Chinese? Grow up others to destroy their own prestige!" His voice was neither loud nor small, and it just fell on the ears of several old men in the front seat.

"Speculation and pointing, young people nowadays are really impetuous!"

"Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, Jade King Lu Chengxiang will definitely be able to win the championship!"

Seeing that these senior seniors in the jade industry were attacking in groups, Tan Fangzhen hurriedly got up to mediate and sincerely relieved the siege: "Everyone, what Mr. Ye said is not to destroy the prestige of the Chinese......

"Tan Yujiang, you don't have to explain. Who knows, Ye Fan didn't appreciate it, and said with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "The frog at the bottom of the well, a short-sighted person, can never see the strengths of others, this time, the title of Jade King will definitely not fall on Lu Chengxiang's head." ”

"What?!"

Who do you think you are?"

"It's a shame to be in the same house with this person!"

These VIPs were full of anger one by one, as if Ye Fan's words really hit the end, which made them angry and angry, confused, and inward-looking.

"This ...... Mr. Ye ......, "Bai Hongde doesn't know what to do, why should he annoy these people."

Pojun frowned, revealing a nervous look.

"We'll see. Ye Fan smiled slightly, and threw a reassuring look at Po Jun.

On the stage, when Wu Shenghao unveiled the second red silk, the crowd was silent for a moment, and immediately after, many people clearly felt that the breathing of many people around them was heavy!

Under that piece of red silk turned out to be—

A complete set of jade and jade clothes!

"Golden jade clothes!" President Shi read out the name of the work aloud.
