Chapter 414 Chapter 414

For Mr. Zhang, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to meet Jia Sidao. It was at the time when his jade shop was at its worst and when he needed high-end jade ornaments the most. Jia Sidao who helped him. For Jia Sidao, it is also a very good opportunity to meet Mr. Zhang. At least, he can get his funds back as soon as possible, and even let his "green, fat, red and thin" jade jewelry be sold in the capital Beijing. By the way, let's lay a good foundation with the help of Mr. Zhang's shop. If Jia Sidao really wants to develop in Beijing in the future, he will have an ally! However, according to Jia Sidao's current plan, it seems that it is still a very distant thing to open his jadeite shop to Beijing.

"Mr. Zhang, besides the emerald shop, do you have any emerald material processing factories?" Jia Sidao asked in deliberation. "In terms of processing, we have relatively reliable bases in Beijing and Yangzhou. Although those two places do not completely belong to the emerald shop under my name, they are relatively safe." Mr. Zhang replied, "It's a pity that there is a lack of suitable jadeite materials. I have personally traveled south several times, preparing to gamble on stones. Hey, in the end, I have repeatedly gambled and lost. Even in the purchase of Ming materials, I often If you suffer a loss and get fooled, you can only get some low-end and mid-range materials and go back to deal with it.”

"Even the purchase of bright materials has been restricted?" Mr. Jia Sidao finally understood how urgent the old man in front of him was for high-end jadeite jewelry.Generally speaking, at Mr. Zhang's age and an expert who has opened a jadeite store for many years, he must have a lot of inventory in his store. No matter how the jade market on the market is.As long as you want to expand your emerald shop, then you must spend a lot of money to stock up some top-quality emerald materials.What's more, the price of jade has been rising all the way in recent years.If you have hoarded enough jadeite materials in the early years, not to mention that there is no way to continue the operation of the jadeite shop, you can get a lot of money by gradually transferring the jadeite materials you have hoarded.

However, once the source of raw materials is restricted by the high-end jadeite market, it is easy to run out quickly! After all, the price of top-quality jadeite materials is very high, even if you spend all your funds on buying jadeite materials, how much can you buy? Moreover, when the jadeite materials you receive now cannot compare to the speed of sales in the store, no matter how famous Mr. Zhang's jadeite store is, people come to buy jadeite ornaments, but they can't find what they want. When these customers come back for the second time, I'm afraid they won't come back for the third or fourth time, right?

You have to say, in the industry of gambling stones.It doesn't mean that if you are rich, if you pay a high price, you will definitely be able to get high-end jadeite materials.Of course, if you snatch it without hesitation and regardless of the cost, then even if you have money, you are still a master! "It's not just that the acquisition of bright materials has been restricted." Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "It turns out that my 'Ruyi Jade Building' is one of the more outstanding jewelry stores in Beijing, but since the first half of this year In the beginning, because there were not enough high-end jade jewelry for sale, it has gradually become second-rate. At first, I didn’t take it too seriously. After all, the price of jadeite materials has been gradually rising recently, and many people who deal in jadeite materials It is reasonable for merchants to want to stock up to see the market. However, after I went to Guangdong, even my old friends were unwilling to sell at the market price. When I came to provide materials, I felt that things were troublesome."

At the end, Mr. Zhang sighed continuously. I don't know if it's for his own experience, or just for his "old friends" friends! "I'm really angry." Mr. Zhang suddenly raised his head, glanced at Jia Sidao and others, and said with emotion, "Everyone is in business, and I really don't lack money. But they won’t just make them a lot of money, right? In the end, they are only willing to provide a limited amount even at half the price higher than the market price. Isn’t this driving people to a dead end? " Seeing Mr. Zhang's very indignant appearance, Ah San and Jia Sidao could only sigh helplessly.

The competition in the market itself is so vile.Jia Sidao didn't even know how the other emerald shops in the Linhai area would deal with his "green, fat, red and thin" after returning to Linhai after his trip these days. Compared with Mr. Zhang, Jia Sidao undoubtedly has a lot more confidence. What's more important is that Mr. Zhang's store opened in Beijing, while Jia Sidao's "Green, Fat, Red and Thin" opened in a small county like Linhai.There is an insurmountable gap in the level of competitors that need to be faced. "Mr. Zhang, if you are free tomorrow, how about I treat you to a meal?" Jia Sidao thought about it.

"Tomorrow?" Old Mr. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, looked at Jia Sidao with a bit of joy in his eyes, and said, "Where is the need for Xiao Jia to treat you. Come, come, come, a few If you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can come over together, and I will be the host. How about staying here?" "Well, Xiao Jia, don't you still have to meet Mr. Yang tomorrow?" Ah San reminded. "Oh, that's right." Jia Sidao patted his forehead, and looked at Mr. Zhang apologetically.After all, Mr. Yang made an appointment earlier than Mr. Zhang. "However, I will go to see Mr. Yang during the daytime tomorrow. I think I will be able to make time in the evening. We will make an appointment tomorrow." See you here at six o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, we'll see you soon." Mr. Zhang picked up the wine glass, and everyone touched it. Afterwards, Mr. Zhang left a mobile phone number and gave him his name.It turned out to be insolent!Jia Sidao pondered, judging from Mr. Zhang's current appearance, he has a somewhat gentle feeling. When he was young, let alone gentle, at least he would not be so vicious to the point of "crazy". Just because of this name, Jia Sidao, Ah San, and Yang Fan had a long discussion. After Zhang Kuang was far away, Ah San asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jia, are you going to give him some of your jadeite?"

"Emerald material?" Yang Fan beside him asked curiously, "Isn't it jadeite jewelry?" You know, in Yang Fan's perception, Jia Sidao is the owner of a jade shop.If you directly sell the jadeite materials you have in hand, the profit you can get during the period is not as high as selling jadeite jewelry. "There are also jadeite ornaments, and jadeite materials too." Jia Sidao said with some old gods, but he didn't explain too much.Yang Fan looked at him with a somewhat curious expression.And Ah San pondered Jia Sidao's words carefully, and finally a gratified smile appeared on his face.

As for Jia Sidao's understanding, Ah San undoubtedly had a much deeper understanding than Yang Fan.It was precisely because of understanding that Ah San could understand Jia Sidao's plan.Could it be that Jia Sidao, as a person who runs a jade shop, doesn't know that the price of selling jadeite materials directly is not as high as jadeite jewelry? Jia Sidao still felt somewhat apologetic for what happened in the "Doubao" session just now, especially when he was confronted with arrogance.As a result, Jia Sidao would ask Mr. Zhang Kuang if he had any jadeite processing places besides the jadeite shop during the conversation with Mr. Zhang Kuang.If Zhang Kuang could sell a few pieces of high-quality jadeite to process by himself, it would be repaying such a favor. Jia Sidao is not a person who likes to owe favors to others indiscriminately.If not, he wouldn't be on the side of Yuyan Mountain, wanting to return Yang Siyi's favor on the spot. Of course, what Zhang Kuang needs most now is not the best jadeite material, but a certain amount of high-end jadeite accessories.Only by getting a certain amount of high-quality emerald jewelry immediately and putting them directly in his emerald shop can he minimize the loss of customer traffic and restore the customers who were disappointed with his shop as much as possible.It may even be possible to find a glimmer of hope from the joint suppression of other shops! This is also the reason why Jia Sidao thinks that both jadeite materials and jadeite accessories are essential. As for Yang Fan not being able to think of these things, Jia Sidao didn't care at all.The acquaintance of the two was just such a short time tonight, Jia Sidao didn't think that everything should be fully explained.Moreover, even Ah San's ideas may not be all correct. When Zhang Kuang said that he could speak in the jadeite processing factories in Beijing and Yangzhou, Jia Sidao started thinking about the jadeite carving masters under him.Who told Jia Sidao's workshop that there is a shortage of highly skilled engravers at the moment? ... By the time Mr. Yang's birthday banquet ended, it was already midnight. On the one hand, Jia Sidao and Ah San didn't have any acquaintances to strike up a conversation with, on the other hand, they didn't want to join in the fun of others, so they just ate, drank and chatted by the seats, and the birthday banquet was halfway through.Yang Fan also left early. Jia Sidao sat for a while longer, but he didn't see Mr. Yang and Yang Siyi. He came back to this seat again. He wanted to say goodbye to him, but in the end he just checked in with the master of ceremonies at the venue. , and went back to the hotel with Ah San. The next day, after Ah San got up, she found Jia Sidao and said, "Xiao Jia, I don't have anything to do if I stay here any longer. Why don't I go back today? Besides, your big yellow stone Yin, do you want me to help you take it back? I was thinking, you should check it back. You know, this thing is very precious, if it is really lost, I have to spend all my money to accompany you. .” "Come on, how can I not understand your little thoughts?" Jia Sidao muttered angrily. Although Ah San said that he didn't want to take Tian Huangshi's seal back, in fact, he was eager to die in his heart.Anyone who likes to collect antiques, when faced with such an opportunity, probably likes to be in contact with these antiques for a longer period of time, right? "However, I can't just ask you to take it back. I have to give you a task." Jia Sidao said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm really going to ask Mr. Liu about this Tianhuangshi seal. , can it be confirmed that it is the emperor seal of Qing Emperor Qianlong. However, I think the old man will definitely not admit it at this time." "That's right." Ah San nodded and said, "If I were him, I wouldn't admit it." "Last night, didn't we still see him coming to talk to me about the Tianhuangshi Great Seal?" Jia Sidao pondered and said, "I think this thing is real, the probability is very high. So, you go back After that, help find someone to identify it first." "Me?" Ah San said, "What's the benefit?" After all, Ah San also knew that when it came to antiques, Jia Sidao's interpersonal relationships were really inferior to him.If Jia Sidao is asked to find someone to appraise it by himself, it is impossible to say, so he can only send it to a place like the provincial capital for appraisal by a cultural relic appraisal office. "It's not a good thing for you to take it back with you." Jia Sidao rolled his eyes speechlessly. "That's all." Ah San said with emotion, "I'm really miserable, not to mention paying free labor, but I also need to find someone to appraise it for you." "Otherwise, I'll pay you some more shipping fees?" Jia Sidao looked at Ah San with a slight smile, and then said another sentence. "If that's the case, I'm thinking, is it possible to find a professional shipping company, which is more secure?" "Fuck you!" Ah San muttered, and brought two of his own porcelains, as well as Jia Sidao's Tianhuangshi seal, not to mention, Jia Sidao found the "Shi Zhixuan" in the morning Mr. Yang.The place, of course, is in the "Stone Pavilion".This time it is not in a branch store, but in the largest flagship store.Jia Sidao took a closer look and felt that the style was quite similar to the branch store he saw yesterday. The layout of the store seems to be a bit diverse. Whether it is chicken blood stone or some other stone carvings, they all give people a very vivid and flexible feeling.There is a stark contrast with a century-old store like "Shidianxuan".In Jia Sidao's view, such a store with rich heritage should be more antique.Anyway, it should have the feeling of "Ciyun Zhai" on the other side of Linhai Antique Street. However, everything in front of him also made Jia Sidao feel that the "Stone Pavilion" is trying hard to contain more "stones" and other things.This shop is like a huge melting pot.For any stone-like things, they are fully accommodated. "How about it, the old shop, you can still see it?" Mr. Yang is still smiling like last night, looking very amiable.And by his side, Yang Siyi is naturally indispensable.Seeing Jia Sidao looking at "Shizhixuan", he also stood aside with a smile on his face, his demure appearance is a bit more intellectually beautiful! "If I hadn't heard about 'Stones' beforehand, I would have thought I had entered a comprehensive museum about 'stones'." Jia Sidao replied with a smile. "Hehe, it's really interesting to say that." Mr. Yang made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them went to the reception room at the back, and the waiter quickly brought tea.Looking at the old man's skillful movements, Jia Sidao imagined in his heart that yesterday, Yang Siyi also entertained himself with tea, was it because of the influence of old man Yang? Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that a young and beautiful woman would use tea like Biluochun when entertaining guests. The three tasted tea for a while, before Jia Sidao said: "When I came in just now, I saw that it seemed to be the composition of the emerald ornaments in the 'Shizhixuan', and it was not very big. Is Mr. Yang You can tell me the truth, what are you thinking about Fei Cui and his party?" "This depends on your plan, little friend." Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes, and said, "If little friend is going to make the cooperation more intimate, our 'Shizhixuan' will naturally place more money on the emerald. It's been a while." "Oh?" Jia Sidao's eyes couldn't help changing, and he looked at Yang Siyi beside him in surprise.When the eyes of the two met, Yang Siyi was about to lower his head while dodging, which made Jia Sidao feel a little warmth in his heart.It seems that last night, Yang Siyi must have helped him say a lot, right? You know, yesterday, although Yang Siyi agreed with Jia Sidao's statement that the two families would benefit from cooperation, his attitude was rather hesitant.At this moment, Mr. Yang suddenly changed his mind, and it seemed that he had an attitude of great cooperation intention, which undoubtedly exceeded Jia Sidao's expectation. However, in an instant, Jia Sidao calmed down his mood, and he finally figured out what Mr. Yang's plan was. One night is enough for Mr. Yang to investigate all his family background clearly.Now that he understands the strength of "Green, Fat, Red and Thin", it is reasonable to cooperate with "Shi Zhixuan".Moreover, there is no major conflict between the two parties' business philosophies, and even in general cooperation situations, one side is stronger and the other is weaker. After all, from the perspective of the cooperation projects between the two parties, it is an understandable fact that "Shi Zhixuan" is good at bloodstone and "green, fat, red and thin" is good at emerald.But once the two parties have the intention to cooperate, it is much easier to discuss the specific details. "Shizhixuan" wants to provide Jia Sidao with the best chicken blood stone material for the sale of chicken blood stone in "Green, Fat, Red and Thin". Most of them are mainly selling chicken blood stones.What's more, it's just to add the bright red color of bloodstone to your own emerald shop. Therefore, Jia Sidao will not rashly promote chicken blood stones in various aspects such as the Internet and his personal relationships in the way of promoting jadeite jewelry. As for "Shizhixuan", it started from the category of things that want to expand its business. Naturally, it will pay more attention to the sales of jade jewelry.Moreover, in terms of the reputation and sales ability of the store of "Shizhixuan", it is much higher than that of Jia Sidao's "Green Fat Red Thin" small store. Jia Sidao asked, "What kind of ratio should we exchange between bloodstone and jadeite?" This is also a question that Jia Sidao is more concerned about.If "Green, Fat, Red and Thin" only harvests one bloodstone from "Shizhixuan", and has to distribute ten pieces of jadeite material from its own shop, no matter how you look at it, Jia Sidao will suffer from this kind of cooperation up. "If you have any ideas about the details, let the little girl talk to you." At this moment, Mr. Yang coughed, indicating that he was unwell, and got up to leave first. As long as there is no problem in the overall situation, the details are nothing more than the time of negotiation and the differences in the profits of the two sides. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Yang is here or not.However, in Jia Sidao's view, Mr. Yang's body is very strong. Isn't it a bit suspicious of doing such a deed? Looking at Yang Siyi's appearance, she turned out to be secretly sticking out her tongue at the back of Mr. Yang, and then sat up straight in a serious manner, facing Jia Sidao, ready to negotiate.In Jia Sidao's eyes, that serious and desolate appearance has a different style! Especially the sneaky tongue sticking action just now seemed so wanton, so unexpected, and so reasonable.Perhaps, in front of outsiders, a woman like Yang Siyi is suppressing her nature more.Only by Mr. Yang's side can he have such a natural expression. In Jia Sidao's mind, the figure of another woman appeared involuntarily: Ji Yanran! Is it because her consistent indifference and consistent behavior are also a kind of self-protection behavior in depression?
