Chapter 2020: Flaws
After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he looked at how Lao Ding responded, he really liked Lao Ding's ability, but if he never thought of cooperating with others, then he couldn't force others. As for the future problems, let's talk about it later, at least everyone got together because of the same goal in the early stage, if there is a difference in belief in the end, he will not stop it, and it is his way to simply go their separate ways.
Lao Ding couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Zhang Feng's words, looking at this young man who was twice his age, and seeing that his firm eyes didn't seem to be joking, and the belief in victory reflected in his eyes all made him sigh, it's good to be young! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they can rush forward with just one belief.
Lao Ding smiled and said: "You kid is so big, where do you think you are now? This is Jiang City, every inch of land is gold, even if the value of this piece of white jade is doubled, then it is impossible to afford to open an antique store in Jiang City, understand?"
Although Lao Ding knew that Zhang Feng's words were not joking, for a moment, Lao Ding was also excited by Zhang Feng's words, and opened an antique store in Jiangshi, which was his dream all along.
What treasure connoisseur would not dream of having his own shop, he has devoted his life to making jade, and naturally he has had such an idea. But after all, dreams are just dreams, and what stands in the way of dreams is a practical problem that cannot be ignored.
Let's not talk about how expensive the land price is in Jiang City, just talk about the competitive pressure of the jade industry here in Jiang City, it is not difficult to open a jade shop, but the difficult thing is that you have to stay in it. Now, not to mention the first-class antique shops, just those shops that are called second-rate by the wealthy, there are too many in Jiangshi to count.
After all, Jiangshi is the world of the rich, so the competition in the luxury industry has always been fierce, almost every day there will be luxury stores closed, and at the same time there will be stores opened, after all, Jiangshi is an adventurous city, everyone wants to take a piece of the torrent of the times.
Under such circumstances, in addition to ordinary citizens who want to take risks to make money, they also have to count the capital game of the rich, and how can the people of the upper class let go of any opportunity to make money? Moreover, the rich people are willing to spend money and have most of the resources in their hands, and this business war is, from the very beginning, a game of money.
So when Lao Ding heard Zhang Feng say that he wanted to cooperate with him to open an antique store, he didn't object, but he just felt that it was unrealistic. Because they simply don't have any connections to take advantage of.
Of course, Zhang Feng also understood Lao Ding's thoughts, it was indeed not easy to open an antique store, but now what Lao Ding was worried about, he didn't care at all, so he still smiled calmly, smiled, and said: "In terms of money, I don't think it's a problem at all, I'll take care of it, you just need to answer me, if you're willing to cooperate, if you're willing to cooperate, if you're willing, you can say two words, and if you don't want to, you can say three words." ”
Lao Ding was curious, Zhang Feng was full of confidence, as if he was not affected by what he just said, and Lao Ding couldn't make up his mind for a while, because he didn't know whether Zhang Feng couldn't see the reality clearly, or if he was confident? Will he have any tricks? For example, in fact, he is very rich, a rich second generation?
However, if Zhang Feng is really a rich second generation, how can he cooperate with him like this? Could it be that all the other treasure connoisseurs are dead?
Lao Ding couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said suspiciously: "If you want to cooperate with others, then at least you have to show your advantages, since you want to cooperate, at least you have to show that you are rich! Just this piece of white jade, you can't even rent a store, let alone others, this is what I have seen so far! In this case, I can't sell myself!"
Lao Ding is not stupid, people have lived for so many years, nothing else has grown, and shrewdness and calculation are not bad. After all, Jiangshi puts money first, and if you don't have money, you can't survive here at all.
Zhang Feng nodded, agreeing with Lao Ding's words, what he meant was that if he cooperated sincerely, he should show his hole cards, this question Zhang Feng understood, so he said: "Then what if I have other jade besides this piece of white jade?"
What Zhang Feng said was the two pieces of jade that were still hidden in the Mingyuzhai vault, a resin jade and an amber jade, these two pieces of jade were his real start-up capital, so he would hide them so tightly, he wanted to find a way to maximize the value of those two pieces of jade and sell them at the highest price. And the person who can help Zhang Feng is Lao Ding.
Lao Ding heard what Zhang Feng said, his eyes lit up by two points, and he was thinking about something, now this piece of white jade in front of him is already a high-quality jade, so if Zhang Feng still has a secret secret, it must be a precious jade compared to this piece of white jade.
And Zhang Feng said that he had other jade, but he didn't say how many pieces there were! Lao Ding was uncertain in his heart, could it be that he really let himself meet a noble person this time?
Zhang Feng saw that Lao Ding had begun to waver, and as the so-called striking iron while it was hot, Zhang Feng said again, "I really don't have anything else here, but with what I have now, it is not difficult to build an antique shop." In Mingyuzhai's vault, I still have a piece of resin jade and a piece of amber jade, I wonder if these two pieces of jade can add up to rent an antique shop?"
Lao Ding heard Zhang Feng say that he still had a piece of resin jade and amber jade, and the boss with staring eyes asked in surprise: "You, the amber jade you are talking about, is it that kind of warm jade?
Lao Ding's words don't know why he is a little trembling, and the state of the whole person is different from before, and the eyes are no longer washed to the point that only reality is helpless and tired, and it is dyed with a radiant look that rekindles his dreams.
Zhang Feng was a little puzzled and surprised by Lao Ding's reaction, as for it? Isn't it just a piece of amber jade? Although it is a rare jade species, it is not a peerless treasure, so such a big reaction is really a bit strange. So Zhang Feng felt that Lao would definitely have such a reaction, and there must be a story in it.
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Feng still nodded in Lao Ding's expectant eyes, and before he could say anything, Lao Ding had already laughed when he saw Zhang Feng's affirmative reaction, and said, "I didn't expect that I was so old that I could still see Nuan Yu." ”
As he spoke, Lao Ding began to giggle, but after laughing for a while, Lao Ding seemed to remember something and asked, "Where did you come from this warm jade? ”
Lao Ding looked at Zhang Feng with suspicious eyes, after all, there are few warm jades, and only one of the 100,000 pieces of jade is warm jade, looking at Zhang Feng's young age, it is normal for Lao Feng to have this idea.
Zhang Feng said: "It's not right for you to be like this, Lao Ding, we are all partners, why do you still doubt me?" Zhang Feng just said as a joke, and he didn't want to deliberately explain anything, doing business! Externally, the most important thing is integrity, and internally, it is the trust between partners.
Lao Ding looked at Zhang Feng's calm and relaxed appearance, and remembered that Zhang Feng had just said that he had put the two pieces of jade in Ming Yuzhai's vault, and then he thought that Ming Yuzhai had opened a gambling stone farm in a village on the outskirts of the city, and only then did he understand where Zhang Feng's jade came from.
Lao Ding was impressed by Zhang Feng at the same time, and he knew that he had an extraordinary bearing and was a material for doing business, and if those jade stones came out of the gambling stone field, wouldn't it mean that Zhang Feng was also very good at studying jade?
Regardless of the rest, just because he found three pieces of jade with no bad quality from the gambling stone field, it is enough to show that this person is not simple. Lao Ding suddenly felt that this cooperation was done, and even vaguely felt from the bottom of his heart that it might succeed.
Lao Dingxi smiled and said: "Okay, you are not afraid of death, I am so old, I will gamble, and I will lose my life." ”
Lao Ding laughed, as if he remembered the ambition of his youth, at that time because of many external reasons to prevent him, so that he did nothing to grow old, gradually he also felt that his fate had come to this, maybe this is fate! Slowly he didn't care, just be a strange old man, eat and drink all day long, and hide his previous dreams.
But today, he chatted with Zhang Feng for a few words, and the dream that had been buried in his heart seemed to reappear, burning like a small flame in Lao Ding's heart, making him seem to have returned to his youth, full of spirit.
Zhang Feng saw that Lao Ding agreed, and he was also very happy, first of all, his first partner was found, and he was one step closer to success.
Then he immediately remembered that the most important thing for them now was how to double the value of this white jade, which was their first money.
Zhang Feng asked, "What do you mean when you just said that you can sell the white jade at double the price?"
Speaking of business, Zhang Feng also became serious, not only did he want to sell the white jade more expensive, but he also wanted to know what Lao Ding said, which may contain knowledge that he didn't know. Zhang Feng was eager to learn about jade, and now he heard about the field he didn't know, so he especially wanted to know, otherwise, he would not agree to Lao Ding's request.
Lao Ding coughed, put aside those miscellaneous thoughts first, and began to study the matter, Lao Ding pointed out a place in Baiyu to Zhang Feng, and said, "See, there is a crack in Baiyu here." ”
When Lao Ding said this, he stopped and motioned for Zhang Feng to come and take a look, Zhang Feng frowned when he heard Lao Ding's words, and he was puzzled in his heart.
Zhang Feng was puzzled, and what was even more puzzled was that Lao Ding saw the crack but said that he could double the white jade and sell it, so why is this?
With a lot of doubts, Zhang Feng leaned over and glanced at the place where Lao Ding pointed out, it was indeed as Lao Ding said, there was a crack on the white jade, but it was very shallow, so shallow that if you didn't look at it carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
Zhang Feng didn't understand what Lao Ding meant, and glanced at him, but Lao Ding still looked at the jade, full of confidence, and nodded to Zhang Feng towards the jade, obviously signaling Zhang Feng to take a closer look at the white jade, Zhang Feng was helpless, so he had to turn his head again and carefully observe the cracks in the white jade.
Then Zhang Feng was surprised to find that the crack on the white jade was not so much a shallow one, but rather that the crack was not on the surface of the white jade at all, but inside the white jade, so because the crack was shallow, coupled with the refraction of the light of the jade itself, this crack was difficult to find, but it was real.
