Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Interpersonal Network

Looking at the time, it was almost noon.Jia Sidao discussed with Uncle Zhou, and the four of them left the factory together, and had a meal in a nearby tavern.Naturally, Jia Sidao paid for the dinner.Who made Jia Sidao's final cut of the rough jadeite have such an "earth-shattering" change? Even while eating, the topic among the four of them still revolved around the "Picture of Chang'e Flying to the Moon". If you want to carve a piece of high-quality jadeite into a similar "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" ornament, as long as the craftsmanship of the craftsman is perfect and the jadeite material is large enough, it will not be a problem at all.However, when it comes to such a pattern that is naturally formed, it is difficult to cut out one piece even out of thousands of rough jadeite stones.This natural form is almost impossible to meet.The value of it is unknown.

However, it is for sure that it is far more than the price that Jia Sidao paid for this rough jadeite. Moreover, Jia Sidao did not polish the surface of the rough jadeite to any extent, but only cut it open, and then cut the inside of the cut surface.That is to say, only the cut side of the whole piece of jadeite has been artificially moved, but it just presents its lifelike and moving shape of Chang'e flying to the moon.The other positions are all the natural skin of the original stone. Such a work no longer needs anyone to carve it. No matter how excellent the carver is, if he artificially carved a knife on it, it would be a kind of artificial damage to the value of the half piece of jadeite.

At the dinner table, Ah San was very envious of Jia Sidao's good luck. It seemed that since Jia Sidao started betting on stones, his luck had been smooth all the way. Some envy.But Jia Sidao kept smiling, and gave Ali the credit. In Jia Sidao's words, that is: If Ali hadn't discovered this picture immediately, I might have treated the rough jadeite as a piece of waste, and cut into it again to take out the jadeite part.In this way, there is no such thing as "Chang'e flying to the moon". Moreover, as Ali, the only woman among the four, came to discover such a romantic natural form of jadeite rough, wouldn't it just fit all the romantic sentiments?

For a while, Ali became the most proud of the four people at the dinner table. After dinner, Ah San naturally hoped to go back to the workshop with Jia Sidao for another round of stone cutting.However, Uncle Zhou stopped him by opening his mouth, not to say that Uncle Zhou didn’t want to cut stones again, on the contrary, judging from Uncle Zhou’s involvement in stone gambling, he wished he could stay in the factory all day long, All the rough jadeite should be cut open to have a look. "Uncle Zhou, you have something to do in the afternoon, so you should leave first. Xiao Jia and I have nothing to do anyway, why don't we just go in and cut stones?" Ah San said to Uncle Zhou like this.

"Who says you're okay?" Uncle Zhou glared at Ah San, and said, "You'd better go to the shops in the antique street over there as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you drag it on, if something happens , but it’s not easy.” "Uh, this is true." Ah San thought for a while, and replied, "The situation in the antique street over there is quite complicated. If you really want to sell it, it will take a lot of work. You have to go there as soon as possible." Squeak." If it was too late, other people who wanted to sell the shop would let the news out first, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for Ah San to sell the shop.

"What about me?" Ali seemed to be aroused by the stone-cutting in the morning, blinking her eyes, and said, "I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, right? Why don't I go to cut stones with Xiao Jia. " As she said that, Ali still looked pitiful, looking at Jia Sidao a little unnaturally, as if Jia Sidao refused to agree, and she was wronged so much.Immediately, Jia Sidao was a little dumbfounded. "You." Uncle Zhou glanced at Ali angrily, and shook his head slightly. As for his own daughter, at what time, what kind of expression will be made on purpose, as a father, he is naturally very clear, and he also understands in his heart that Ali is just speaking out to argue with him.If she really made a decision, Ali wouldn't say it publicly here, and it would be a good choice to stay alone, or to find Jia Sidao later.

Speaking it out in public now is nothing more than wanting to see it.As a daughter's family, she can do nothing to help. However, Jia Sidao didn't know what was going on here, and Jia Sidao still found it rather difficult for Ali's trick of pretending to be pitiful.Fortunately, Jia Sidao thought about it for a while, and there was really nothing to do the whole afternoon, so he said: "Well, Uncle Zhou, in my opinion, in the afternoon, it's better to let me and Ali stay here Cut a few more stones at the same time. Anyway, idle is idle." "Xiao Jia, thank you." Upon hearing this, Ali immediately regained her composure.However, the trace of joy on his face was indelible. "You are much better than Ah San."

"It's none of my business. Really..." Ah San stood beside her, smiling wryly. "However, Xiao Jia, since my father said that even Ah San has something to do, it would be a little too unkind for me to stay and cut stones with you. I think I'd better go to the store Already." Ali said, "Anyway, today is also Saturday....And, to be honest, the stone cutting in the morning is enough for me to think about it for a long time. Anyway, it is impossible for your rough jadeite to be recovered in a short time. After cutting everything, if there is a chance next time, you will not prevent me from visiting, right?"

"Of course it's extremely welcome!" Jia Sidao agreed with a smile. "Xiao Jia, what are you going to do with the natural Chang'e Flying to the Moon Emerald this morning?" Uncle Zhou asked a question at first. "Of course I kept it myself." Jia Sidao said, "This kind of rough jadeite is partly the natural skin of the original stone, and partly the natural figure cut out, but it is very meaningful for collection and commemoration." At this time, Jia Sidao was very grateful for the impartial and unremarkable performance of the skin of this rough jadeite.If this is not the case, how could Jia Sidao cut it in half without even using the perception of supernatural powers!And how could it be possible to start cutting the stone when the surface of the rough stone has not been wiped?

If there is a video recording Jia Sidao’s stone-cutting process in the morning, in such a morning, all the stone-cutting steps, as well as everyone’s discussions on the rough jadeite, some stone-cutting actions that were discussed, and even the final stone-cutting results are almost all. It can be used as a teaching material in the stone gambling industry. Undoubtedly, Jia Sidao’s most urgent thought in his heart is to take photos of the cut jadeite and post them on the “World Forum”, and then find Liu Yufei and other familiar people to share his joy . After all, even if Jia Sidao publicizes this kind of "superior jadeite" cut out of low-grade jadeite, others will only say that Jia Sidao is lucky, and will not suspect that Jia Sidao has supernatural powers. perception up.

"So, what about the other dollars?" Uncle Zhou asked again. "Uh, for the others, I should wait for Xiao Xu, oh, the emerald carver I mentioned, when he arrives in two days, let him try to carve a few emerald ornaments first, and then... no Ah San is helping to find the emerald shop." At the end, Jia Sidao took a special look at Ah San. "So, even if you want to cut stones, there is no need to cut out all the rough jadeite now?" After hearing Jia Sidao's plan, Uncle Zhou nodded, and then he expressed his thoughts. Said, "In my opinion, you might as well find a suitable place to store the cut jadeite while you are free. These are all valuable things. Besides, didn't you cut out the emeralds last time?" It's a thousand-year-old jade worm, be careful, don't be missed by someone who cares." "That's true. Even if it's safer to store in a bank, if you own a shop, it's really not reliable to store it in a bank." Jia Sidao's heart sank, and in his mind, he naturally thought of Yes, as Li Shiyun mentioned before, install a relatively high level of anti-theft measures in the villa, just like the level in a bank.However, Jia Sidao's brows were almost twisted into a thread when he thought of the arrival of large quantities of rough jadeite in the future. "Uncle Zhou, do you have any good suggestions?" Jia Sidao asked. "Hehe, I don't have any good suggestions." Uncle Zhou said with a cheerful smile, "However, you also saw it just now. I have a safe in the corner of the factory building. Actually, that thing, It's not very safe. So, it's just a pretense. I still store the real valuables in the 'Zhou Ji'." "The second floor of 'Zhou Ji'?" Jia Sidao couldn't help being curious, and looked at Uncle Zhou suspiciously. "Xiao Jia, you are really stupid." Before Uncle Zhou could answer, Ali reminded him, "The second floor of 'Zhou Ji', how can you put so many things in such a small place..." Afterwards, he muttered, "I really doubt it. With your head, how can you bet on such a good jadeite?" That faint voice, not light or heavy, maybe it was a joke, maybe it was an uncontrollable muttering, but it made Jia Sidao feel a little embarrassed on his face.Instead, he asked: "Uncle Zhou, didn't you specially set up a place to store those superb collections of yours?" "That's natural." Uncle Zhou nodded and said, "Some big collectors, for example, have several villas at home, so they will deliberately build the safest villa, and use them all as For the collection of collections. Or, to build several basements. It is said that the nobles in Europe also have their own collection rooms in their own manors." "Don't tell me Uncle Zhou, you also have a collection room?" Jia Sidao didn't hear Ah San say that Uncle Zhou had a villa. "Yeah, it's just behind the 'Zhou Ji', isn't it very convenient?" Uncle Zhou nodded.Speaking of this, there was a look of reminiscence on his face, and he said, "The facilities inside are all first-class. At the door, there is an alarm system directly linked to the Public Security Bureau. I don't think you need to worry too much about safety. I'll store your spring ribbon over there.... As for the second floor of 'Zhou Ji', that place is indeed safe, but, big Most of the time, the safe over there is empty. Especially when I go to the countryside to collect things, I don’t feel relieved to let Ali stay in the store alone, and still store such valuable things on the second floor. .” As he said that, Uncle Zhou gave Ali a fond look. "I said..." Jia Sidao muttered at the corner of his mouth. "Xiao Jia, in fact, it's not only Uncle Zhou's 'Zhou Ji', but also 'Ci Yun Zhai' and the like, but all the famous shops on the Antique Street have a storage space behind their shops. The building of the room. The alarm system inside is directly linked to the Gucheng Police Station. In addition, the storage room is also specially equipped with a huge safe similar to a bank, which is specially used to store some top-quality collections. Otherwise..." Ah Sanbu said proudly, "Do you think that simply buying a shop in the antique street will labor me, a busy person, to deal with it?" "Oh, San, what do you mean to say that the antique shop that is going to be sold also has a top-notch storage room?" Jia Sidao's heart moved, and even the voice of his words was full of surprise!This was what he was looking forward to very much.At least, he can immediately transport the two batches of rough jadeite that he is about to arrive. "No." Ah San shook her head cheerfully. Jia Sidao was speechless for a moment, and was about to give Ah San a supercilious look.Since he didn't have one, what he said just now was very impressive, which made him happy for nothing. However, right after, Ah San said: "However, the location of the place and the buildings in the backyard are very similar to Uncle Zhou's 'Zhou Ji'. If you are willing, you only need to pay enough money , install a set of anti-theft equipment, that’s about it. I think, with your current financial strength, Xiao Jia, you should be willing to spend money on these infrastructures, right?” "Really?" Jia Sidao asked. "If there is such a place, not to mention the convenience of opening a store, it is also a good storage place for my rough jadeite." "Tch, of course it's true. It's no good for me to lie to you." Ah San was speechless, glanced at it indifferently, and then continued, "However, according to the information I got. That place suitable for building a storage room, It does not belong to the same owner as the shop in front of it.” Xu Shi saw Jia Sidao's suspicious eyes, Ah San didn't hesitate, and explained very directly: "Think about it, if that place was originally combined with the shop in front, then it's our turn Are we going back and forth to discuss installing a storage room?" "That's true." Jia Sidao nodded, even thinking in his heart, if the owner of the previous shop had the strength to negotiate for a house that is suitable for storage, I'm afraid he wouldn't either. Because of selling a counterfeit product and being harassed by customers, you are going to sell the shop and leave Linhai, right? To put it bluntly, it was because of his lack of connections, because he didn't have a good relationship in Antique Street. Otherwise, with so many shop owners on the Antique Street, and the strength behind them, it is impossible to allow a layman to act wildly in the Antique Street after getting an eye! As a result, Jia Sidao realized more clearly that if he wanted to expand his business in the field of antique collection, if he had no interpersonal relationship, he would definitely not have a good chance.It's like Xiao Ma, if you want to talk about money, he can really make up the price of a shop, maybe.However, when it comes to relationships, he doesn't have a social circle like Ah San's. It can only be a street stall on the antique street. As for why Ah San is so optimistic about him, Jia Sidao looked at Ah San and Uncle Zhou next to him meaningfully.I'm afraid, if it wasn't for Jia Sidao's strength in betting stones in the recent period, Ah San and Uncle Zhou would not have proposed to introduce Jia Sidao into the Antique Street at this moment, right? "By the way, Xiao Jia, if you're free, find a time and I'll take you to visit some experts." Ah San said, and even blinked at Ah San. "That's what it should be." Jia Sidao responded.Since Ah San understood what he said so clearly, he, Jia Sidao, naturally understood, "However, can you delay it for ten days and a half months? Anyway, on your side, I'm afraid it's not a matter of two or three days to negotiate with the store." It can be done in one day. And I can also wait until Xiao Xu arrives and let him make a batch of gadgets first, so as not to go empty-handed when I have time to visit people, how ugly it is." , Jia Sidao also spread his hands pointingly, with a playful look on his face. "Right!" Ah San smiled and snapped her fingers.Uncle Zhou next to him also smiled knowingly at Jia Sidao! On the other hand, Ali, after seeing what the three of them were talking about, walked aside.It seems that this woman, Ali, is still a little unaccustomed to such a relationship! ... After parting with several people, Jia Sidao returned to the villa by himself. The piles of rough jadeite have been placed in Uncle Zhou's workshop, but the piece of "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" jadeite has been moved to the backyard of "Zhou Ji" under Uncle Zhou's suggestion!Even, at the time of parting, Uncle Zhou mentioned the "Treasure Appreciation Conference" intentionally or unintentionally. That faint look always made Jia Sidao feel his heart throbbing! Fortunately, the time for the Treasure Appreciation Conference is still a little far away. For the current Jia Sidao, it seems that he has no other emerald treasures that can be sold except for the emerald material!In addition, I don't even have the qualifications to participate.Do you really want to go to Mr. Yang of the "Tianqi Jewelry Company" in Linhai? Jia Sidao still remembered in his heart that when he was betting in Jieyang, Mr. Yang still owed him a treasure of jadeite.The premise is that Jia Sidao can have the cheek to go to Mr. Yang's jewelry company, choose one, and pay for it! However, when he thought about the relationship between the two of them in Jieyang, which became a bit tense later, Jia Sidao was not very prepared to go to "Tianqi Jewelry Company", and let Mr. Yang owe the bet for the time being.In this way, the relationship between the two will not be completely troubled to the point of irreversibility. Everyone here is doing business in Linhai, especially since Jia Sidao is planning to open a jadeite shop, the confrontation with Mr. Yang is inevitable. Relatively speaking, Jia Sidao was more willing to visit Ma Ye whom he just met in Antique Street in the morning before Ah San arranged for him to meet the so-called connoisseurs! In this way, Jia Sidao will feel a little more confident in his heart! Of course, at this moment, after Jia Sidao returned to the villa, he immediately forgot all these so-called interpersonal relationships, emerald shops, etc., and turned on the computer excitedly. , and quickly posted the "Picture of Chang'e Flying to the Moon" taken with a mobile phone to the Internet. That scene was like an upstart.Every word and deed, I am afraid that others will not know that I am a rich man! And the fact is, as Jia Sidao predicted, within a few minutes, many people in the forum expressed their own sighs at this photo. You know, Jia Sidao's photo was taken in the right direction.At the bottom of the photo, there is also a line of Jia Sidao's own text description.The delicate feeling of nature's uncanny workmanship naturally makes the jade enthusiasts on the forum excited. However, there are many people who have seen it, but there are very few people who can estimate the price.One million, ten million, etc., just a few novices, expressing their opinions over there.Jia Sidao pondered, those connoisseurs should have the same point of view as his own. It is rare to come across this type of jadeite in a lifetime, let alone own it personally.There is absolutely no need for a price that matches it to prove its true value! If someone really offered a price, it would definitely be an insult to this piece of jadeite experts! After a while, Jia Sidao's phone rang. Jia Sidao picked it up and saw that it was Liu Yufei calling.Looking at the posts on the forum again, yes, "Yu Feishang" is online right now.Jia Sidao was overjoyed, no wonder Liu Yufei's call was so timely. Even so, Jia Sidao was quite mischievous, letting the phone ring for a long time before he picked it up belatedly.
