Chapter 145 Chapter 145 To cut, or not to cut

However, everyone here is a jadeite businessman, so Jia Sidao consciously did not mention that.On the contrary, what Boss Wang said unintentionally was to make the best use of every piece of jadeite raw material, which made Jia Sidao's face reveal a thoughtful look.Since even a piece of dark green jadeite of ice bean species with some flaws can be brought back to life in the hands of carvers, then, for those jadeite materials that are pure in texture and expensive in themselves, if careful design and exquisite carving work are invested, Its expensive value, I'm afraid it will be more vividly displayed, right?

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao looked forward to finding a few skilled craftsmen to carve.However, Jia Sidao also knew in his heart that most skilled people have long been monopolized by those powerful emerald merchants.And those famous figures in the sculpture world were not something a novice like Jia Sidao could invite. If a middleman can be found to make a bridge, it is still possible. In an instant, the figures of Wang Biao and Liu Yufei flashed in Jia Sidao's mind.However, immediately, Jia Sidao became a lot more depressed.With Wang Biao and Liu Yufei's own strength, there is no problem in inviting those people.However, it is not always possible to invite them to carve.Especially the carving of good emerald materials, in addition to the common shapes such as bracelets, other large-scale ornaments, it takes dozens of days or months, and some people even carve it into a national treasure-level emerald The finished product takes several years.

This kind of investment, once or twice, is naturally not a big problem.But if you want to invite others to carve for a long time, it is not so convenient. Moreover, since Liu Yufei and the others could invite people, how could they let go of such a good opportunity and not use their own jadeite raw materials?In the ranks of the top jadeite finished products, even if the jadeite is of the same quality, the difference in value between a master's carver and a rookie's carver is not a small amount. For this reason, no businessman will miss the opportunity to let famous masters carve their own jadeite.

It's no wonder that Jia Sidao's face, the joy disappeared in a flash, and it became a little sad in an instant.Do you really want to learn carving by yourself?In this regard, Jia Sidao was a little hesitant.For him, the time spent on the carving process is not counted. If it is a simple decoration, Jia Sidao is quite confident.After all, the perception of his left hand has room to be used when carving. I am afraid that any master does not have Jia Sidao's understanding of the texture and texture of the jadeite in his hand, right? However, when it comes to carving top-notch jadeite ornaments, without three to five years of craftsmanship, it is simply useless.Not to mention, if you can't find a master engraver in Guangdong, you might get a good harvest if you go to Yangzhou.After all, the name of this Yangzhou engraver is quite resounding.

Jia Sidao, who has been in the Jade Group for some time, naturally has some understanding of these ways. After the meal, several people took a short rest.On the other hand, Wang Biao called a few businessmen, and his words only revealed the meaning of preparing to cut stones at night.For the rest, it is up to the merchants to figure it out.However, those big businessmen are not stupid when they talk about it like this.As long as there are no special arrangements at this time of night, there will still be people coming to join us. In any case, Wang Biao himself is considered a heavyweight in the jade industry.

This kind of person is going to cut stones, and even made a special phone call to inform them. Everyone can know the profound meaning without guessing. Boss Wang laughed at this.Jia Sidao didn't feel too much envy when he looked at Wang Biao, anyway, when his fame didn't start.Even if Jia Sidao wanted to call, he didn't know who to call.Moreover, even if they called, it is estimated that no one answered.Don't look at the usual time, business cards did receive a lot.But Jia Sidao didn't know who was in Pingzhou at this time. For example, if Jia Sidao called Liu Yufei at this moment and asked him to rush over from Jieyang, it would not be realistic.

On the contrary, a jadeite businessman of Wang Biao's level can easily know who are the big potential customers. He will be in Pingzhou at the moment. This is the network! After a while, many businessmen came to Boss Wang's workshop. Anyway, Pingzhou is not big.Some came alone, and some accompanied two or three people.When Boss Wang saw him, he was probably acquainted, and the entertainment was very casual, and everyone didn't care much.During the exchange of pleasantries, Jia Sidao also met many people, some from Hong Kong, some from Guangdong, and some from other provinces and cities.Counting the number of people, no less than ten businessmen have already come.

Jia Sidao looked at their acquaintance on the surface, and was secretly surprised in his heart. The merchants who can be spotted by Wang Biao and notified are probably worth a lot, right?Even if there were one or two people who came with others, no one dared to underestimate their strength if they could be with these merchants.Moreover, Jia Sidao reckoned that Wang Biao probably wanted to sell tens of millions of emerald wool. Among the ten or so people, Jia Sidao only knew Hao Dong beforehand.In addition, the two businessmen standing with Hao Dong in the morning are still a bit familiar.The others are all unfamiliar faces.

During the conversation, they naturally talked about some interesting stories about betting on stones. For a while, a certain boss bet on a good piece of material in Tengchong, and for a while, someone lost his hand in Jieyang, or they were discussing the recent market conditions in the jadeite market.Jia Sidao summed it up, generally speaking, no matter whether it is the economic crisis or the boom in antiques, it does not have much impact on the jadeite market. Especially the price of high-grade jadeite is gradually rising.Coupled with the Olympic gold medal "gold inlaid jade", jadeite as jadeite is naturally more accepted by collectors.Of course, for the big jadeite dealers in front of them, they naturally don't like the finished jadeite products from Boss Wang.Everyone's home, more or less, has similar small processing workshops.

These days, even small-time antique dealers like Uncle Zhou in Linhai have opened their own processing factories. Who else would not take the profits from processing in their own hands? Of course, from their conversation, Jia Sidao also knew that the most lucrative ones were probably top-level jadeite products.For this reason, everyone is still lamenting that there are too few good jadeite materials nowadays, especially the bright green and sun green glass varieties, which are almost becoming rare.If you don’t go to the public market in Myanmar to pick up the goods directly, or get in touch with the mining company that excavates the rough jadeite, it is really difficult to get good raw materials.

But after hearing everyone's discussion here, Wang Biao stood up suddenly, smiled and invited everyone to go to the front workshop together, ready to start cutting stones. Jia Sidao secretly praised: Wang Biao really deserves to be an expert, he knows how to seize the opportunity. If the high-grade jadeite material is cut out at this time, the bidding among the crowd can be imagined. Following at the end of the crowd, together with Boss Wang, the owner, seeing the faint smile on Boss Wang's face and the enthusiasm of many emerald merchants, Jia Sidao suddenly felt that what he needs to learn in the emerald industry is more. There are many, many... "Could it be that this rough emerald stone is what Mr. Wang is going to cut?" Dong Hao, who was walking in the front position, saw several rough jadeite stones piled up next to the cutting machine in the workshop, his eyes lit up. But he asked Wang Biao, and said, "This is a good piece of material. It looks like it should have just been picked up today." As he spoke, he sighed and said enviously, "Unexpectedly, I was in Ping An I have been in Zhouzhou for a week, and I am not as lucky as Wang Donggang who came here for a day." "Hao Dong, don't say that, are you making fun of me? Others don't know, but I don't know? Your way is wider than mine." Wang Biao said politely.As for Lao Tang, the informant, he definitely wouldn't say it out, "However, your eyes are really vicious. This rough jadeite is the best piece of jadeite obtained from this gambling." While speaking, Wang Biao came to the front of the rough jadeite and looked around.The work of cutting stones must not be sloppy. Because of prior arrangements, the rough jadeites that Jia Sidao and Wang Biao obtained in the afternoon naturally did not all pile up next to the cutting machine at one time.There were only the two pieces of material that Wang Biao was going to cut to open the window, and the rest were a few pieces of wool that had been piled up in Boss Wang's workshop.This is also a strategy. If all the raw jadeite of Baishapi is displayed at one time, then although these big merchants will not grab it by force, since they have already seen better ones, for the price of other materials , will inevitably be affected. A veteran like Wang Biao would naturally not make such a mistake. And Jia Sidao watched Wang Biao talking nonsense in front of everyone, he could only pursed his lips and smiled, muttering in his heart, what a businessman said when he was doing business, you must never really. If not, it is estimated that it was sold by others and counted the money for others. Several other merchants, after seeing Wang Biao started to look at the stone, although they wanted to go up to see the situation and prepare for the next bidding, but it was not good to disturb them at this time.But Boss Wang had nothing to do, so he told everyone that Jia Sidao and Wang Biao went to receive the goods in the afternoon. For this reason, Jia Sidao specially gave Boss Wang a thankful look. There is no way, if this is not the case, I am afraid that in the eyes of these big businessmen, there is only the rough jadeite in front of them at this moment, how can they notice Jia Sidao, a newcomer.When Boss Wang mentioned this, many businessmen naturally turned their attention to Jia Sidao.
