Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Li Shiyun's Suggestion

Except for her father who left the Jade Shop early, Ji Yanran was the second one to leave. The difference from Xiaoqian or her mother is that Ji Yanran was able to help in "Green, Fat, Red and Thin" today because she saw that the business here was too busy, and Jia Sidao didn't have a Well prepared, even Li Shiyun joined the ranks of helping out. Ji Yanran had similar experience in 'Zhou Ji', so she was naturally able to handle it with ease.However, after the afternoon, as the flow of people decreased slightly, Xiaoqian and Jia Sidao had free hands, and Ji Yanran stood at the display counter again, so it didn't make much sense.

What's more, perhaps because of Ji Yanran's appearance, there were very many customers by her side, almost on par with Li Shiyun's.However, even when facing customers, Ji Yanran's smile was very stingy, and for a while, she won the nickname of 'cold beauty' in the hearts of customers. Compared with the glamorous jadeite in 'Green, Fat, Red and Thin', it complements each other somewhat. "Why, Sister Li, are you planning to leave too?" Seeing Ji Yanran's departure, Jia Sidao came to Li Shiyun's side and asked with a smile.Speaking of which, Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran's situation is similar, they both stay to help out for Jia Sidao's sake.At this moment, after the initial bustling business, the business in the store is slowly being able to handle it. If Li Shiyun is going to leave, it is reasonable.

"Me?" Li Shiyun pointed to herself and said, "I haven't gotten your reward yet." Although there was a feeling of wanting to get some cheap money in the words, it made Jia Sidao feel warm in his heart.Isn't this kind of rhetoric an excuse for Li Shiyun to stay and help?Thinking of this, Jia Sidao's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "By the way, Sister Li, when are you going back to the provincial capital?" "Why, do you really want me to leave early?" Li Shiyun looked at Jia Sidao with a funny smile, and said, "Could it be because of the woman who was very close to my aunt just now?"

"Sister Li, what are you talking about?" Jia Sidao suddenly realized that Li Shiyun seemed to have the potential for gossip, but of course, what she was referring to was not Ji Yanran, nor could it be Xiaoqian, because Xiaoqian's name, Li Shiyun is undoubtedly certain.Then, there is only Zhou Sha. In Jia Sidao's mind, Zhou Sha's figure suddenly flashed, and then quickly made a rough comparison with Li Shiyun in front of him.However, the result of the comparison in my heart is that I will not say it even if I am killed. It is nothing more than that Zhou Sha looks taller on the surface, but in terms of temperament, Zhou Sha is more changeable However, Li Shiyun was indifferent and quiet as usual.

"I just think that if you can stay here for a few days, no, I'm going to Hangzhou in a few days. If that's the case, why don't we go to the provincial capital together?" Jia Sidao changed the subject , said, "For a conference like the jewelry exhibition, although I don't know the scale of the provincial capital, but from the perspective of participation, I think it is necessary to go there." "The jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital?" Li Shiyun muttered and said, "In my opinion, it doesn't really matter whether you go to the 'green, fat, red and thin' on your side."

"Why?" Jia Sidao was a little surprised. "Because in terms of your 'strength', the sensation caused by going to the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital is actually not much different from the reputation you won after opening today. Just wait a little In a few days, when the jadeite collectors who have come here for on-the-spot investigations publicize some of the top-quality jadeite in your shop, your shop will be famous in the province." Li Shiyun analyzed and said: " Perhaps, you don't know much about the jadeite market in the provincial capital."

Hearing this, Jia Sidao also nodded, let alone the provincial capital, it is in the Linhai area. Jia Sidao really doesn't know much about the jadeite market, at most he knows what kind of High-quality jadeite jewelry depends on how much value there is in the market flow.In addition, jade jewelry of any price is easier to circulate in the market. Let's say it's the transaction volume of "green fat, red thin" today. Although it's not yet closing time, it's only halfway through the afternoon, but, according to the rules of the Antique Street, the doors are rarely open for business at night, not that the Antique Street is always open for business. At night, there are not many people. As long as all the antique street shops are open for business, the flow of people here should not be empty.However, because of the particularity of the 'antique' business, many shops are not even open during the day, let alone at night.

The evening time is more reserved for those potential big customers to communicate in private.Or maybe it's for the owners of these shops to better 'scavenge' some 'treasures' back. Although Jia Sidao opened an emerald store, it's not good for him to open the store alone, right? In the original plan, Jia Sidao planned to open as usual during the day, and close the store when it was time for dinner.Salespersons like Xiaoqian can also have more free time to arrange.And like mothers, they can also have more time to rest and adjust. At the end of the day today, my mother was exhausted.Although, in Jia Sidao's view, the mother's face is always full of smiles, and she doesn't seem to be tired at all, but it belongs to a mother's success for her son, and the knowing smile is related to whether the body is tired or not. It doesn't matter at all.Jia Sidao didn't want to think that the first three or five days of opening would exhaust his mother.

According to Jia Sidao's prediction, this situation can last at least three to four days, right?And three days later, it was the first weekend market after the opening of the jade store.At that time, no matter what the circumstances were, Jia Sidao felt that he should find a few more salesmen to come over. It's like Ji Yanran would come to help on Saturdays during "Zhou Ji".Even a shop like 'Zhou Ji' needs helpers on market days, not to mention Jia Sidao's 'Green Fat Red Thin'. When I arrived at my mother's side, I asked in a low voice about today's sales performance, but my mother didn't answer directly, but showed Jia Sidao the invoice.Because there is a full refund business, for every piece of jadeite jewelry sold in my store, there is a stub invoice and even a photo.

Jia Sidao took a look at the invoices, and it can be seen that the best-selling ones are undoubtedly jadeite ornaments ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.Regarding this point, Jia Sidao felt a little helpless. After all, Linhai is still a small place. Generally speaking, in the jadeite market, the most popular jewelry should be between 10,000 and 50,000 yuan. In Jia Sidao's opinion, although the value preservation effect of jadeite jewelry is not as strong as hard currency like gold, it is still a good investment stage.However, it is the same as diamond investment. On the one hand, jadeite is a non-renewable resource, similar to diamonds. However, even diamonds, not all diamonds have the effect of preserving value, at least there is a 'carat' Limit it?I have never heard of it. Diamonds that are as small as a fraction of a carat also have a value-preserving effect.

The same is true for emeralds. Those jade ornaments with good quality naturally have the effect of preserving value.Not to mention an increase of 30,000 to 50,000 a year, at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for jade jewelry, judging from the value growth trend in recent years, it can increase by 30,000 to 5,000 a year.Of course, if you collect treasures worth millions or tens of millions, then the added value in the market cannot be calculated by simple percentages. The price of top-grade jadeite has always been rising all the way in the market.In addition, there are personal preferences that affect the value of a piece of top-quality jadeite.For example, if the circulation value of a bright green jadeite bracelet made of glass is 12 million yuan, if you are eager to find such a bracelet as a gift, you may need to pay 1300 yuan. The price in millions.But if you exchange it at a pawnshop, you may not get 10 million! It is entirely a question of who takes the initiative on both sides of supply and demand. However, fortunately, among Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin", jade ornaments ranging from 30,000 to 100,000 yuan have been sold since the opening today. From this point of view, today's daily turnover is Over a million is no problem.As for the higher-grade jade ornaments, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to sell them. Jia Sidao noticed that those jade ornaments worth millions are less inquired by, and those who are willing to pay immediately, from today to now, are the ones of an old lady whom Jia Sidao noticed earlier. The client, she took away a piece of red jade bracelet made of glass at a price of one million. For customers of this level, even if many of them just came to see the real thing today and are still hesitating whether to sell immediately, Jia Sidao recorded their personal information very well.These are Jia Sidao's most important customers in the future. In terms of making money, it is definitely not a big deal just to rely on those thousands of dollars of jade jewelry.Even if the entire transaction amount is earned by you, how much money is there?What's more, there are also manual fees for the engraver and some loss fees for tools.As for the water and electricity bills in the emerald shop, and the salary of the waiters, there is no need to talk about it. If you really want to calculate it, if it is a small amount of jadeite jewelry, if you don't rely on quantity to win, Jia Sidao doubts whether he will lose money. Therefore, the bulk of Jia Sidao's jadeite business profit still depends on those top-quality jadeites. This is why Jia Sidao wants to obtain some high-end jadeite customers from Wang Biao.Moreover, the sale of top-quality jadeite does not mean that whoever comes and takes a fancy can pay for it immediately.In many cases, the sales of top-quality jadeite, just like the rare antiques in other shops on the Antique Street, requires a long-term running-in between the customer and the owner. To put it bluntly, it is because the price flexibility is relatively large, even if you like It's going to die, and because of the difference in price, I will 'kill' such three or five days.No way, these three to five days are worth millions. At this moment, Jia Sidao thought about it. If a bright green glass bracelet is sold, it will be tens of millions of cash. It really feels like it has been closed for three years and has been eaten for three years. "By the way, Sister Li, why don't you tell me about the emerald market in the provincial capital?" Looking at the customers nearby, Jia Sidao chatted with Li Shiyun instead. "How should I put it, have you been to the 'Shiyun Jewelry' over there?" Li Shiyun said, seeing Jia Sidao nodding, she said with a smile, "Do you think that my shop is as different as yours?" What's the biggest difference on the side?" "It's different, that's too much." Jia Sidao said while thinking, "From the decoration of the store, the style difference is quite large." However, just when Jia Sidao was about to talk, Li Shiyun annoyed Jia Sidao, and interrupted directly: "You, don't talk about such nonsense, talk about something practical." "The style of the shop I mentioned just now is very practical, okay? At least, there are not small differences in the targeted consumer groups." However, seeing Li Shiyun's increasingly annoyed face, Jia Sidao still Quickly entered the state, and said directly, "However, to be honest, Sister Li, the variety of jade jewelry in your shop is undoubtedly much more than mine. In addition, it is for the popular Grasp is much better than mine." Regarding these, Jia Sidao really had no choice. The 'Green, Fat, Red and Thin' shop has just opened, and all the emerald ornaments were carved out by a group of people like Jia Sidao and Xu Zhiguo in a hurry.As far as the craftsmanship of carving is concerned, there is really nothing to say, and the texture of the jadeite material is all natural, directly excavated from the rough jadeite.However, when it comes to the shape of jade jewelry, I have to say that the design skills of Xu Zhiguo and the others are not bad, and the aesthetic vision is not bad, but compared with some jade styles in big cities, there are still big shortcomings of. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a diamond. Do you need a corresponding design to match it? In terms of emerald jewelry, many designers are needed to carry out some trendy designs for the color and style of emerald.Of course, things like face rings and bracelets are all classic styles, and they won't drop in price no matter when they are taken out.But, can you count on these classic emerald styles to attract more consumers' attention? "Xiao Jia, you are not honest. You are talking about the advantages of the jade jewelry in my shop, but you didn't talk about your own advantages." Li Shiyun looked worried about Jia Sidao, Very disdainful, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You can't always praise my shop, but not talk about your own?" "What's there to say about this?" Jia Sidao rolled his eyes at Li Shiyun, and said, "The biggest advantage of my side is that there are more top-quality jadeites." "Yes." Li Shiyun snapped her fingers at Jia Sidao, and suddenly felt that such a state was a bit out of line, she couldn't help restraining herself a little, and said, "It's absolutely correct! But, do you think that going to the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital After that, what will be the effect?" "That's naturally expanding the influence of my jadeite store." Jia Sidao said casually, and then frowned, and said, "Sister Li, what do you mean, as long as my jadeite store can maintain the current The number of top-quality jadeite, so whether you go to the jewelry exhibition or not, can you form a certain scale of influence in the province?" "That's right." Li Shiyun replied, "Jewelry Fair, to put it bluntly, its effect is not as good as you imagined. Think about it, I have participated in 'Shiyun Jewelry' a few times, but, What about the final effect? ​​It's not much different from usual!" "Too." Jia Sidao still has some understanding of the operating status of Li Shiyun's store.Nodding at this moment, I can't help but feel a little helpless. "The jadeite market in the province itself is only so big." Li Shiyun also said helplessly, "There are not many famous jadeite shops. As long as you continue to maintain this momentum, I believe it will soon It will make a certain reputation in the province. Moreover, the news of jadeite enthusiasts is far more well-informed than we imagined." Regarding this point, Jia Sidao felt relieved. Let's say it is the "Tianxia Collection" that Jia Sidao often visits. Some collectors often exchange information about the antique market in various places.The emerald and jade section among them is naturally talking about the situation in the jade market, such as where a new jade store has appeared, or you have seen a glass emperor green jade pendant in a certain store. Category.The circulation of gossip does not have any geographical limitations. Fortunately for Jia Sidao, the sensational effect brought about by a valuable emerald treasure is far better than doing some simple advertisements by yourself.No matter what other jade ornaments are in your jade shop, just the appearance of treasures such as 'Chinese Zodiac', 'Blood Jade Bracelet', 'Peerless Chicken Oil Yellow', 'Glass King Green Jadeite Bracelet' , is enough to attract most of the emerald lovers. distance?fare?time? In Jia Sidao's impression, jade enthusiasts, to put it mildly, are prodigals!In their eyes, there is only precious jadeite, and nothing else.As Li Shiyun said, the jadeite market in the provincial capital is so big, and Jia Sidao has the advantage of rare jadeite. It will be a matter of time if he is famous or not.And going to the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital is nothing more than increasing the exposure of some emerald shops. It can't be said that the top-quality jade that appeared at the jewelry exhibition is not as good as Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin". "Then what do you mean, Sister Li, I can only wait like this?" Jia Sidao thought for a while, since he didn't plan to participate in the jewelry exhibition, he would have more time in the future, but he didn't. What special thing do you want to do?It's like a person who was originally wound up and then suddenly relaxed, always feeling at a loss. "Who said you can only wait?" Li Shiyun said, "Besides, I just talked about the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital. You don't have to go to the shop, because the top-quality jadeite that can appear there is itself There won't be too many, and the exposure rate may not have much effect, and some interpersonal relationships at the jewelry exhibition are also intricate. But, what about other places?" Jia Sidao's eyes couldn't help but brighten up! Compared with the provincial capital, Shanghai, the closest metropolis, is far better than the provincial capital in terms of publicity effects when participating in the jewelry exhibition there, right?It's not that Jia Sidao underestimated himself and felt that his provincial capital was inferior to Shanghai, but that Shanghai, as the leader of the Yangtze River Delta, undoubtedly had great advantages. Moreover, if Jia Sidao's business is going to be big, not to mention the provincial capital, Shanghai will undoubtedly become a big springboard! So, Jia Sidao immediately asked: "Sister Li, when is the jewelry exhibition in Shanghai?" "This..." Li Shiyun glanced at Jia Sidao with a smile, and said, "I don't know the specific date. Don't look at me like that. At least, my 'Shiyun Jewelry' has never been to Shanghai." However, I know that if your emerald shop becomes famous in Shanghai, you still have a chance to go to Hong Kong." It has to be said that the word Hong Kong also gave Jia Sidao a great shock and profound reverie.The jadeite market and sales in mainland China are still not as good as those in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, especially the transaction of top-quality jadeite.If Jia Sidao's "Green, Fat, Red and Thin" was opened in Hong Kong, no, it was opened in Shanghai, Jia Sidao pondered, wouldn't it be possible to complete only one million-dollar transaction on the first day? The geographical limitations of Linhai were vividly displayed at this time.Jia Sidao, on the other hand, had nothing to do about it. "Well, since you don't know, Sister Li, why don't I go to Shanghai myself." Jia Sidao said, and, in his heart, Jia Sidao might as well have asked Liu Yufei and Wang Biao about their problems. people mean.In Jia Sidao's mind, the two of them at least know more about Jade and his party, right?
