Chapter 392: Strong Pressure
"Brother Chu, we've been shopping all day, why don't you report yet?" The three of them followed behind Chu Yan, they really wanted to take this opportunity to join in the fun and see the mysterious internal custom combat knife master exhibition that was not open to the public.
"It's still early, the battle knife master exhibition will start in three days, just go back then, okay, a few of you go around at will, today is the first day of the knife exhibition, there should be a lot of classic works on display, if you like it, you have to start quickly." Chu Yan smiled and shook his head, he came to Chicago to participate in the knife show, not simply for commercial profits, Chu Yan was not interested in commercial profits or making a name, the reason why he came to Chicago was that he had a very clear purpose.
"Okay, feel free to call us then. "To be honest, the three of them have already been itching, this knife exhibition has more studios than every previous exhibition, and many master-level works have also been sought after by tourists, Leng Wren has been cleaning up, but because Chu Yan didn't speak, and he was afraid of losing the opportunity to follow Chu Yan to participate in the battle knife master exhibition, so he never left alone, now, you can rest assured!
Needless to say, the excitement of the Chicago Knife Fair is needless to say, the manufacturers, studios and knife friends who came here to participate in the exhibition gathered together, there is no doubt that this is a grand gathering, and the biggest reason why Chu Yan is strolling around in the crowd is that he wants to try his luck and see if he can find Lao Tie who has appeared more than once before the official assembly order is issued!
However, this crowd was crowded, and Chu Yan finally failed to find any shadow similar to Lao Tie, and in the end, he had to relax and watch the dazzling array of knives as an ordinary knife friend in the exhibition hall of this knife exhibition.
Whether it is a combat knife or a kitchenware, all gathered here are world-class brands, first-class studios, and every piece of work that comes to the exhibition is a new design and a new launch, which will never be seen on the market before!
In short, whether you are an ordinary knife enthusiast or a business-minded businessman, you will basically not have any regrets when you come here, whether it is a collection or an expansion of new products, there are enough choices here.
The schedule of the Chicago Knife Show passed day by day, and the long-awaited Battle Knife Master Exhibition finally kicked off, really as Westman said in the email, this Battle Knife Master Exhibition is completely closed to the public, and the participants are basically not the military bosses, or the heads of mercenary groups, of course, not to mention the military contractors who have taken off the skin of mercenaries.
"Chairman Wiseman, the guests have arrived, and the works of the six masters on display have also reached five, do you still have to wait?" Assistant Danielles stood quietly in front of Wiseman, who was seventy years old but still looked handsome, with a deep puzzle in her eyes.
"Wait, without his works to participate, this battle knife master exhibition will be bleak, and my three-year wait will also be completely meaningless!" Wiseman said as he put down his favorite DoubleZipper-S folding knife, which is the ultimate collection that all the world's top collectors have been obscured of, but unfortunately they are destined to miss it, because this highly collectible folding knife is the only one in the world.
The psychedelic blue folding knife was gently put back into the knife box by Westman, and then holding the knife box in both hands, he put the folding knife of immeasurable value into his collection room, and after a while, he walked back to the assistant Danielles, "Let's go to the VIP room first, those guys are some difficult characters, let them wait for a knifesmith who has never heard the name before, I'm afraid these people are about to explode at this moment." ”
Danielles nodded, suppressing the curiosity in her heart about the Oriental man named Chu, and turned to walk towards the VIP room, her job before Westman arrived, was to convey Westman's meaning, and maintain the atmosphere and order of the Battle Knife Master Exhibition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, President Westman will be here soon, please be patient with all the distinguished masters and guests, the Battle Knife Master Show will begin soon. Standing in this circular banquet hall-like exhibition hall, looking at the dozens of people sitting in the exhibition hall, the expression on Daniels' face was a little numb, because she had said this sentence three times, in addition to the master swordsmiths, the people here were either military representatives of various countries, or the bosses of private military contractors, and then there were the world's top collectors, the weight of this group of people was too heavy for Daniels.
Fortunately, this time Westman did not release the pigeons of the group again, but pushed open the door and walked in after Daniels had finished speaking.
As soon as Westman appeared, the atmosphere in the round hall suddenly relaxed a lot, this time the combat knife master exhibition is a special request of the military, the purpose is to seek a more suitable combat knife for the military in hand-to-hand combat, and private military contractors are even more moved, but their purpose is probably not the same as the military, as for those old friends of Westman, purely to bring a few more treasures in their collection.
To be clear, this secret exhibition of combat knife masters is purely a small auction, of course, the works of some of the world's top swordsmiths, and of course the swordsmiths themselves.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting, there are a total of six works on display at this Combat Knife Master Exhibition, and there are five works that have been prepared at present, these five are the latest works of the five top masters here, as for the last work, since it is not yet in place, so please be patient for a while, and when the works are ready, the display will start immediately!" Although Wiseman is the founder of the Chicago Knife Show, more than half of the people present here don't buy his account at all, and strict adherence to time is the thing they care about the most.
"Chairman Wiseman, I'm Captain Carey of the Nineteenth Squadron of the U.S. Marine Corps, and according to the rules, the knife show is held after one minute and forty-five seconds, and I don't like people who are not punctual. Carey, one of the military representatives, glanced at his watch and said to Wiseman with a blank face.
"Chairman Westman, one minute and forty seconds!"
Kerry is not the only one who likes punctuality, and although no one in the guests mentioned it again, as the author of the exhibited works, Kato Otaka, a top custom cutler from Japan, followed Kerry with a dissatisfied face to report the time countdown.
Wiseman didn't have any good treatment for these people, so he could only wait for the passage of time with a smile on his face, praying in his heart that that person would show up on time to fulfill his greatest wish in three years!
One minute and forty seconds passed, and Wiseman could even hear the sound of his heartbeat slowly speeding up with the passage of time, and when Kato Taka counted the last second, the door of the VIP passage still hadn't opened, and the thin figure still hadn't appeared!
"Mr. President, it's time, we can begin!" said Kato with a smile on his face, standing up and bowing to Wiseman, speaking fluent English, while the other four master swordsmiths from all over the world nodded their heads.
Wiseman's heart was filled with deep disappointment at the moment, even his always calm face could not be concealed, and a pair of pale blue eyes flashed with boundless decadence...
"Chairman, what's wrong with you?" Danieles, the assistant who had been standing beside Westman, noticed Westman's strange expression for the first time, and hurriedly whispered a question, and Westman just woke up from the deep loss, but his expression had been seen by almost everyone in the exhibition hall.
"What's wrong with this old fellow? Why is he so disappointed that a swordsmith who has never even heard of his name will not come if he doesn't come? Could it be that the knifesmith is also his illegitimate son?"
"What is Westman doing? The world's top five swordsmiths have gathered, what else is there to regret?"
Wiseman's reaction caused extreme dissatisfaction among the five famous craftsmen, and in front of them, Westman's performance was really disrespectful!
