Chapter 385 Chapter 385 Expansion

In the next few days, the sales situation in "Green, Fat, Red and Thin", as Jia Sidao expected, was not much different from the first day when it opened.Just like Jia Sidao's emerald shop, in a small place like Linhai, there is a "magnificent emerald exhibition".From morning to night every day, Xiaoqian became the busiest person. Later, Jia Sidao couldn't bear it any longer, so he called Ah San to help watch it together. No matter what, you can't let a girl be in charge of the emerald sales in a store, right? "However, Xiao Jia, to be honest, I still really admire you." Ah San said to Jia Sidao while dealing with customers, "Look at the shops on the Antique Street. Is one as popular as yours? It’s not even the weekend market yet. I’m really looking forward to it, how many people can be crowded in your store on Saturday? .”

"I'm thinking, there probably won't be too many on Saturday." Jia Sidao looked at the flow of people and said, "At least, it won't be much more than today." "Hey, that's right." Ah San said cheerfully, "No matter how many there are, your store won't be able to fit them." "Hehe." Jia Sidao smiled lightly, letting Ah San think otherwise.According to Jia Sidao's prediction, the reason why so many people can keep coming to patronize at this moment is because Jia Sidao's shop has a lot of top-quality jadeite. With the reputation of the first day of opening In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of jade lovers from other places, and Jia Sidao can fully hear it from their accents.

However, as the first wave of freshness passes, the flow of people in the store will naturally tend to a flat state.Surely there are still so many people every day?And on Saturday, although there will be an increase in the number of people on the antique street, they are still mainly local people in Linhai.Many of these people came to visit Jia Sidao's emerald shop. If you pass by the antique street in normal time and see that there are not many people in the emerald shop, then it is also a very good thing to stop and admire the top-quality emerald.However, if there are a lot of people on Saturday, then these customers who have seen the best jadeite will naturally not come to join in the fun.After all, Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" is a shop, and it doesn't move or anything. The top-quality jadeite placed in it looks like this almost every day.When is it not good to come to appreciate it, but to join in the fun on Saturday?

On the contrary, many of the customers who came here because of the reputation came for the top-quality jadeites such as the 'Blood Jade Bracelet' and the purple-eyed 'Zodiac'.Moreover, it is not limited to the Linhai area, there are quite a few people who came from other parts of the province, even from Guangdong and the Northeast. Because it follows the regulations in the industry, it is not allowed to take pictures of the places where the general top-quality jadeite appears, unless you have purchased some jadeite accessories in the "green, fat, red and thin" shop, there will be specially made emeralds in the shop. The picture collection of the best emeralds is presented to you.

Even so, once the flow of people increases, and in these years, the tools for shooting are becoming more and more advanced, and they are no longer limited to cameras.For example, when a certain customer pretended to make a phone call, he had already tapped his 'purple eyes' into his mobile phone, even though Jia Sidao specifically told the 'security guards' brought by Lao Yang, But it's also a private method that can't stand everyone's "sneaky". So in the end, as long as it wasn't the kind of people who came to take photos in a fair manner, Jia Sidao would let them take photos secretly, as long as it wasn't too much.In this way, the news that Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" shop has the appearance of the best jade is undoubtedly more real and full of temptation.

It is within Jia Sidao's expectation that many customers from other regions will come. However, the sudden appearance of customers from Guangdong and Northeast made Jia Sidao smile a little.On the afternoon of the opening day, Liu Yufei and Wang Biao went to the 'Green Fat Red Thin' to say goodbye to Jia Sidao.However, Jia Sidao's original plan that they should each buy a piece of jewelry to help Jia Sidao start the business, but it did not materialize. As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one. For big emerald merchants like Liu Yufei and Wang Biao, ordinary jadeite jewelry is really not very important in their eyes, no matter in terms of the carving process or the texture of the emerald itself.No, after wandering around in Jia Sidao's shop, Wang Biao really wanted that 'blood jade bracelet', but in the end, Wang Biao didn't say anything.

With Wang Biao's identity and vision, he naturally understands the meaning of this 'blood jade bracelet' to Jia Sidao today, especially to 'green, fat, red and thin'.Even if he liked it tightly in his heart, he couldn't bring it up at this time, but those small glass pendants made of imperial green made Wang Biao and Liu Yufei very enjoyable to watch. "Should the two choose one of them?" Jia Sidao said with a smile. "Okay." Liu Yufei said without hesitation, "If you count it as a gift and don't charge our money, then I will choose one without hesitation." Then, he handed Jia Sidao a big one. Rolling his eyes, Jia Sidao suddenly smiled awkwardly, very speechless.These emerald pendants made of imperial green glass are exquisite and expensive despite their small size.If it was a gift, Jia Sidao really hesitated.

"Okay, I'm just kidding you." Liu Yufei patted Jia Sidao's shoulder and said, "But, to be honest, Xiao Jia, there are quite a few things you have here that make my heart flutter. And I If you didn’t bring so much money, what do you think?” "I don't have money to swipe my card." Jia Sidao would not be fooled by Liu Yufei. "Okay, you're ruthless!" Liu Yufei gritted his teeth and said, then stretched out his hand and pointed to a jade ornament that Jia Sidao hadn't expected in advance, but it was reasonable, "I want to It’s gone, tell me, how much it is, but don’t tell me, this thing is not for sale.”

"You really gave me a problem." Jia Sidao touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "You have seen it, but there is no price on it, so naturally it is not going to be sold." - "I heard that you carved this thing yourself?" Wang Biao said meaningfully from the side, "And the carvings in the three 'zodiac signs' should also be the same as this jadeite ornament. Your hand?" "That's true." Jia Sidao said.The Feichang ornament that the two of them are looking forward to in front of them is exactly the one that Jia Sidao carved out according to Li Shiyun's figure.When Li Shiyun left, Jia Sidao thought about giving it to Li Shiyun directly.

First of all, it can be regarded as repaying the debts I owed when I was in Jieyang.Secondly, it can be regarded as the reward for Li Shiyun's help in opening the business.However, Li Shiyun temporarily stored it with Jia Sidao in the name of increasing the attractiveness of this thing as "green, fat, red and thin". Jia Sidao was naturally happy to agree.After thinking about it carefully, it might not be Li Shiyun's intention that Jia Sidao personally send the things to Hangzhou?Or, it was hinting to Jia Sidao that after he was busy, he could go to Hangzhou to find her! Thinking of this, Jia Sidao couldn't help feeling a little more annoyed on his face. It seems that after returning from Jieyang, he really didn't pay a special visit to Li Shiyun, right?It's no wonder that people will hint at it intentionally and undoubtedly.

However, at this moment, Jia Sidao could only refuse Liu Yufei's proposal with a wry smile.Can the things that have been given away continue to be sold?Even if the price of this thing is high, Jia Sidao will not be poor enough to sell it, right? "However, this item has already been assigned. Look, should I choose another item?" Jia Sidao couldn't help but change the subject and said, "The jadeite style here is not very representative, right? , but the quality is still nothing to say." "That's the truth." Wang Biao concluded after looking at so many jadeite ornaments, "I've seen quite a few jadeite shops, and your quality here is considered top-notch in the industry. Moreover, in terms of price It is relatively fair in terms of price, and it is slightly lower than the ordinary market price. However, Xiao Jia, brother, I am here, and I also want to remind you. Your price, for you, is naturally It's a question of earning more and earning less, I think, with your assets, you won't care too much about it. However, others don't think so." "Brother Wang, you mean that you are worried about some other emerald shops, and deliberately come out to make trouble?" Jia Sidao thought about it. "I don't know if you are making trouble or not." Wang Biao said, "For business, if your jadeite shop is doing well, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous. It is the same wherever this kind of thing is placed. And they The way of resistance is nothing more than price cuts, promotions, or joint cooperation to squeeze the products in your store.” "I expected all of these." Jia Sidao nodded and said. When discussing with Ah San, Jia Sidao was worried about other jadeite shops, especially in the Linhai area. An 'Apocalypse Jewelry' is absolutely not to be underestimated. "However, I still want to thank Brother Wang for your reminder." "Hehe, what I said just now is all in the open way." Wang Biao said with a smile, "in the dark, but we still need to guard against some people's deliberate troubles." "Oh? How do you say this?" Jia Sidao asked. "In this regard, you can ask little brother Liu Yufei. Hehe, he is in the south, and the competition there is much greater than that in the north where I am." Wang Biao pushed the question to Liu Yufei. Liu Yufei was not polite, and said directly: "If I open a jade shop here in Linhai, and if I have a certain foundation, I can't compete with you in high-end jade jewelry, and I will start from low-end jade jewelry. Start here, and damage the reputation of your emerald shop!" "Isn't it?" Jia Sidao pondered, it seems that in his own jade shop, there is no special reputation problem that can be exploited by others, right? "Hey, don't you believe me." Liu Yufei said insidiously, "What do you think, if I deliberately send someone to collect a piece of jadeite jewelry from you, and then take it back and make it old, or simply It’s a fake, in short, you don’t see too many changes in appearance, but in essence, it has been replaced with another thing, and then, if you take it back and ask you to pay for it, what do you say?” "Of course I don't admit it." Jia Sidao said firmly.In this regard, he is not completely defenseless. For example, there are photos attached to the sale, the invoice is kept at the end, the appraisal certificate from the provincial capital, etc., are just for others to fish in troubled waters. "It's your business if you don't admit it." Liu Yufeihao said indifferently: "Besides, I dared to do this, and I didn't intend to ask you to admit it. It's just that you don't have to admit it if a person comes to make trouble. How about ten or eight? I’ll get you some tabloid publicity, or they’ll send a few experts to verify the authenticity of jadeite jewelry for those “deceived” customers. Regardless of whether your shop is wronged or not, at least, from the surface, many people will think that not all the jade ornaments in your shop are genuine, right?" "They dare!" Jia Sidao felt that the matter was tricky. "However, Brother Liu, maybe you still don't understand why I opened my jadeite shop on the Antique Street, right?" "That's right, I can't figure it out. Although people who play jadeite and people who play antiques have some intersections, there is no need for you to directly open a shop here." Liu Yufei was very impressed with the shops here. I still don't agree with the location, "Look at it now, there is no airport or train station in Linhai, it's just a bus station. But the location of your emerald shop is good, the bus station From the east of the city, it’s really convenient for you to drive to the west of the city.” After speaking, Liu Yufei glanced at Jia Sidao, as if he was speechless about such a place. "Hey, then, do you know, how much strength and interpersonal relationship does it take to open a shop on the Antique Street?" Jia Sidao couldn't help laughing out loud.Indeed, the traffic situation in the Emerald Shop is indeed not very good, and Jia Sidao himself feels a headache because of this. When it comes to planes, Jia Sidao doesn't even think about it, and the train probably won't arrive until a year later. open to traffic. However, at this moment, when Liu Yufei mentioned the possible methods of spreading blame in other emerald stores, he suddenly felt that opening an emerald store on the Antique Street is actually a very good choice.At least, among the people in the Linhai area, none of the merchants dare to come to the Antique Street to stir up trouble, right? 'Antique Street Shop', just relying on these five words, is a huge signboard! After briefly explaining to Liu Yufei that the shops on the antique street are basically grouped together, Liu Yufei also had to sigh, just like in Jieyang, many of them are family-owned industrial chains. Are there some special ones? "Then what are you going to buy?" Jia Sidao turned around and asked. "Come on, don't entertain the two of us with those unremarkable things." Liu Yufei shook his head and said, "Why don't you re-carve a piece of jade for each of us, whether it's What kind of shape, as long as the material is glass kind of bright green, or imperial green, you can do it according to your needs. But, remember, you must do it yourself! And, remember, it is It needs to have the skills shown above. If not, don’t blame us for not paying when the time comes.” "I wondered, did the two of you discuss this result before you came, did you deliberately amuse me just now?" Jia Sidao recalled it a bit. "Hey, if you think so, I have no objection." Liu Yufei said with a smile, "By the way, Xiao Jia, how many pieces of emerald works have you carved by yourself? No, I will trouble you in the future." Woolen cloth." "That's right. On my side, there should be a chance to invite Xiao Jia to carve with jadeite material." Wang Biao echoed from the side. "Do you really think that I am omnipotent?" Jia Sidao grumbled angrily, "From now on, I have decided to increase the price by 20% or 30% for all jade works carved by me personally! Anyway, I’m also a boss, aren’t I? There’s still a little extra for appearance fees.” "I think so!" Unexpectedly, Jia Sidao's casual words aroused Wang Biao's approval, saying, "And, Xiao Jia, you'd better control your works and circulate them in the market." quantity." "Yes." Not only Wang Biao agreed, but Liu Yufei also nodded and said, "Not only the quantity, but also the quality must be strictly controlled. In the future, you should not carve those jadeite materials that are of average quality. , as long as you get close to the high-end jade ornaments, like glass, that is the minimum. As for the color, it is better to be pure. This is not difficult for you. After all, it is found to be of great benefit. Well, why are you looking at me like this?" Liu Yufei gently caressed his hand in the air, as if slapping away Jia Sidao's strange eyes looking at him, muttering: "I can tell you, I'm not interested in men! In the morning , Brother Wang and I took a brief stroll around your place, and found that the carvings of these four pieces of jade ornaments are very unusual. I was wondering why you have such a craftsman under your command Well. In the end, Brother Wang told me that you should have carved this thing yourself." Jia Sidao thought about it for a while, and then he understood.The glass emperor green Guanyin jade pendant that I gave to Wang Biao's client for the first time was engraved with supernatural perception.Immediately, he nodded. "So, Brother Wang and I were thinking about whether we could promote your strange carving skills." Liu Yufei pondered and said, "Don't underestimate your carving skills. Brother Wang and I two Personally, in the second line of emeralds, you can be regarded as having a bit of eyesight, right? We are both optimistic about things, tell me, can it be good?" "Then I am the object of praise from you two, shouldn't I be happy?" Jia Sidao said with a smile. "It's up to you." Liu Yufei shrugged speechlessly and said, "Anyway, that's what I told you. This time, please give me a sample as soon as possible and let me take it back. It adds a bit of persuasiveness." "That's no problem." Jia Sidao is not a person who can't think about it, and he also believes in the character of Liu Yufei and Wang Biao.If Jia Sidao were to carve the emerald ornaments they requested as soon as possible on the same day, it would be quite difficult. In the carving process of jadeite, although Jia Sidao has the unique ability to perceive and help, he can't reach an astonishing speed, right?What's more, in terms of polishing technology, Jia Sidao has not yet mastered it, and needs to rely on Xu Zhiguo's methods. "When I first started studying, I carved a few pieces of jadeite." Jia Sidao said, "Although, in terms of material selection, the quality of the jadeite ornaments, there is no way to compare with the top-quality glass-like imperial green. Yes, but you can still see some traces of my carvings." "Hehe, that's it." Wang Biao said, "Anyway, what we mainly care about is your carving technique and the effect of carving. As for whether it is the best jade material, for us experts, we only need to take a look at it. , it can be deduced what it will look like after being replaced with top-grade jadeite material, it’s no big deal.” "That's right." Liu Yufei also responded, and said, "If we want to use it for collection, we will naturally need top-quality jadeite material. However, this is for showing others, the texture is slightly worse, and there are also worse. Benefits. At least, we don’t have to be too careful when we carry it with us, haha..." This last laughter made Jia Sidao feel a little ashamed, but also felt how relaxed and casual Liu Yufei and Wang Biao's mood was at this time.Originally, Liu Yufei planned to stay and observe Jia Sidao's carving process by himself. In Liu Yufei's words, he still couldn't believe that Jia Sidao could carve unique jade ornaments by himself. However, seeing the busy scenes in 'Green, Fat, Red and Thin', Liu Yufei could only temporarily let Jia Sidao go.
