Chapter 372: Test Shot (5.21+5.17)
Jia Yidao and Ah San looked at each other and smiled after hearing this. Xu saw Ah San's somewhat ill-intentioned eyes, Jia Rudao felt that he was very prescient, and when he introduced it just now, he didn't say the value of the jade treasures that would be displayed in the small exhibition room.
"Mom, in the future, your task is to help your son collect money here!" Jia Rudao said, pointing to the location of the cash register. My mother didn't have a big opinion on this. From the beginning of hearing Jia Yidao say that these jade bracelets are worth tens of thousands, maybe my mother has such a thought in her heart. Even if Jia Nidao doesn't say it at this time, his mother will remind Jia Nidao about money afterwards, right?
The people of my mother's generation, their concepts are still very different from those of Jia Rudao's age now.
No, as soon as she accepted her own work, her mother had already begun to plan for Jia Rudao: "I see that your decoration here has been completed, but the things have not yet been put on the table, is it the source of goods, has it not been contacted? Or is there something wrong?"
After asking a few questions in a row, seeing that Jia Nidao didn't react, her mother couldn't help but pull Jia Nidao. The two walked to the corner of the jade shop, and the mother asked in a low voice: "Son, tell my mother, is it because the funds are not enough when you pick up the goods, so the things over there have not come?...... You said that the things you have here are a little too precious. Otherwise, there would be some help at home......"
"Mom, you can rest assured that you will be your cashier. Jia Rudao came back to his senses and said very firmly. "Jadeite jewelry or something, it will gradually be in place in the next two days. I've got a factory of my own somewhere else that's dedicated to carving these things, so don't worry. In addition, the opening time of this store is set for the National Day, which is a delay of three or four days. If you don't come today, I'll go home and pick you up. ”
"That's!" the mother nodded, "you young people just don't know how to save, I won't come to help you look at it, who knows if you, a child who has never done business, will be cheated by someone...... According to me, this store is all done, and the sooner it opens, the sooner it opens, the sooner it will make money, so empty, it's really a bit of a waste. ”
As she spoke, my mother looked outside, frowned slightly, and said, "How can I see, there are really few people in this place, and there are not as many pedestrians as there are in front of the jewelry store on our side." ”
"They deal in ordinary jewelry, and most of the things in it cost a few hundred, but we have tens of thousands of dollars here, and they sell ten things, and we sell one and make a profit. Jia Rudao made an analogy and said, "If our business is still as good as theirs, wouldn't it be profitable?"
"How can you do this business, and you still think that you make too much money. The mother smiled and annoyed Jia Rudao, and said, "However, I think it is also the same reason." If anyone could buy such an expensive thing, I would be a little skeptical, and I don't think I can trust this business. ”
Mother said this, but it was this last sentence that won Jia Nidao's inner thoughts.
After all, this fine jade jewelry is different from some other decorations used to decorate something, and its value is similar to that of antiques and antiques. His "green, fat, red and thin" is aimed at, and naturally it is not the kind of people who are greedy for cheap and want to buy a jade jewelry to show off. Instead, they sell jadeite jewelry as "gold and silver jewelry" and "diamond necklace rings"!
"Mom, in a while, the salesperson recruited by the store will also follow, and then the two of you will get to know each other first. In the future, as long as it is a professional maintenance question, or a buyer's inquiry or something, she will answer, you, just collect the money. Jia Rudao said.
When he called Ah San just now, Jia Yidao raised such a question. Ah San also thinks that Xiao Qian has nothing to do now anyway, so it is necessary to come over here and familiarize herself with it first. However, seeing Jia Rudao talking to his mother here, Ah San apologized very interestingly at this time, and slipped away alone.
The moment he turned his back to his mother, Jia Rudao made an "ok" gesture at Ah San. That scene, in Ah San's eyes, was a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Speaking of which, in Ah San's eyes, Jia Rudao treated his parents like this, which he didn't expect.
Just as Jia Rudao watched Ah San's departure, he was quite happy in his heart, feeling that his mother had accepted his current state of life, but his mother changed the pleasant face when Ah San was there just now, and quickly lowered her face and sat on the swivel chair. Facing Jia Rudao, he said a little seriously: "Okay, at this time, shouldn't you give a good explanation, what have you done recently?"
"Didn't you know this from Ah San's mouth just now? Jia Rudao suddenly felt a little numb, as if in front of his mother, Jia Rudao would always be in a vulnerable group.
"You must have discussed it just now, and you came to fool me, do you think Mom can't see it?" The mother said angrily, "I have walked more bridges than you have walked! ”
Jia Nidao muttered in his heart, since he was too lazy to debunk it, why did he have to say it again at this time to settle the general account? Of course, in this case, Jia Nidao would not say it, and he could only think about it helplessly in his heart.
"Don't look like you've done something wrong, let people look at it, and think I'm teaching you a lesson. The mother was a little helpful and said, "According to Ah San's statement, at least, you didn't do anything wrong." Moreover, when Ah Sana told me this, his expression was very calm, and he didn't look like he was deliberately trying to deceive people, especially for the few questions I suddenly asked, and he also answered very well. In this way, on your father's side, I can finally help you cope with it. ”
The idea of daring to love Jia and preparing to take the "mother's route" has also been seen through by my mother. Moreover, the mother is so cordial to Ah San on the surface, but in fact, she doesn't want to find some contradictions from this casual conversation?
Jia Yidao suddenly felt that it seemed to be in vain to play a little trick or something between himself and his parents. Anyway, my mother has watched him grow up, can she still understand her son's thoughts?
"Mom, you're still amazing. Jia Rudao couldn't help but flatter very sincerely, "People say that the veteran is out of the horse, a top two, I see, you are simply a top one!"
"Don't talk about all this uselessness. "My mother didn't eat Jia Rudao, "Let's hurry up and tell my mother, this shop, the car, what's going on." If you can't even convince me, I'm not going to help you go to your dad's side...... In addition, you can rest assured and boldly say it, I think you kid is afraid that your mother and I can't bear it, so I deliberately didn't tell my mother, right? Besides, it's a good thing that you're making money, so why do you have to go around in circles?"
"Well, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to accept it. Jia Rudao said. Don't look at her mother's face when she speaks at this time, her face is not red and she is not panting, but, judging from her mother's experience in her life, Jia Rudao is still a little worried that her mother has some bad thoughts after hearing about the huge profits of gambling stones!
"But let's tell you. When you're at home, you should have watched some TV show, for example, somewhere somewhere and inadvertently bought an old thing. Later, I sent it to the expert for testing, but it turned out that I bought antiques from the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, and then sold it for a lot of money, right?" Jia Rudao said, thinking about his wording.
"What do you mean by that your current funds are from picking up antiques?" the mother's eyes widened, "By the way, when you were at home last time, you told me to come over, is the copper coin you swindled from that little kid so valuable?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Jia Rudao was a little speechless, "Although the copper coin is relatively valuable, it is impossible to buy a car and this shop, right?"
However, even if Jia Rudao said this, his mother still had a little suspicion when she looked at him. Speaking of antiques, my mother can understand that they are indeed worth a lot of money. Jia Rudao even felt that when he raised the word "antique", his mother's eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was thinking about whether there was something old in his home!
That look, in Jia Yidao's eyes, is the same as the expression that ordinary collectors often show when they first enter the collection line.
There was some amusement in his heart, but Jia Yidao's mind was suddenly whimsical, since his mother was definitely going to stay in the shop here. So, under the influence of people who are all around for antiques, will there be a day when my mother will also become interested in these antiques?
After having such thoughts, Jia Rudao felt that no matter what, his mother should soon be able to understand what he was doing now. No, looking at the time, it's not yet noon, but Xiao Qian has already entered the jade shop, and suddenly saw Jia Rudao talking quietly with a middle-aged woman, and couldn't help but be stunned!
Jia Yidao hurriedly beckoned to her, and after introducing her, Xiao Qian shouted very sweetly: "Hello aunt, should I call you the mother of the young little boss in the future?"
Such a flattering sentence, such a thing that has nothing to say to Jia Nidao, immediately won the favor of his mother. Mother even began to hold Xiaoqian's hand and talk. Looking at Jia Rudao, that's called a shame. I asked all the questions, such as how old I am this year, where is my family, whether I live alone on the seaside and so on.
Jia Yidao thinks that her mother is looking at Xiaoqian like this now, how do you look at it, how do you feel a little like she is looking at her daughter-in-law?
At that moment, Jia Rudao glanced at Xiao Qian and asked her to flash to the side first. Xiao Qian smiled at Jia Nidao secretly covering her mouth, as if she understood Jia Nidao's worries, but Xiao Qian deliberately did not leave, but chatted with her mother more familiarly, Jia Nidao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I found Xiaoqian, a girl, to be a salesperson, did I make trouble for myself? I can't say, in the future, such troublesome things will continue to give birth, right? However, seeing that Xiaoqian and her mother are relatively harmonious, the two of them can be regarded as talkative. Originally, I was a little worried that the two would not be able to get along well in the future, and the idea that they would not be able to get along well disappeared.
……
After about some time, Jia Rudao was like an outsider, standing on the side, this is not walking, and he can't interject when he interjects, so he can only look at the time and feel that it is almost there, so he said: "Mom, I think the time is almost up, are we going to have a meal together?"
"Do you usually go out to eat or do you make it yourself?" the mother asked, which meant that if she made it herself, she couldn't say that her mother would have to cook the meal at noon.
"Most of them eat out. "If only a few months ago, Jia Rudao had to plan even the money for going out to eat. Looking back, it's really not what it used to be. It was Xiao Qian on the side, looking at Jia Nidao's eyes at this time, she seemed a little cunning, as if she was wondering, how could a young man like Jia Nidao cook?
Jia Rudao ignored Xiao Qian, turned to look at her mother, and saw her mother nodding, and then her brows relaxed.
"Xiaoqian, you can come along. Mother invited Xiaoqian.
However, Xiao Qian first looked at Jia Nidao a little timidly, and then shook her head at her mother, just when her mother's face was a little cloudy, and she wanted to yell a few words at Jia Nidao, Xiao Qian said in a timely manner: "No, aunt, someone has already asked me to go to dinner at noon." ”
Jia Rudao shook his head a little speechlessly, slandering Xiao Qian's last glance at himself in his heart was definitely intentional. When I was with Ah San and them before, I really didn't show up, Xiaoqian is such a ghost. After watching Xiaoqian leave, her mother still looked at herself with a smile, and kept looking at her with her eyes, Jia Rudao touched the back of her head and muttered: "Mom, do you want to ask at this time, Xiaoqian is such a good girl, why didn't I chase it, did I?"
Seeing her mother nodding, Jia Rudao showed a look, I knew you would think so, and said with a wry smile: "Is it okay for people to have boyfriends?"
"What's wrong with having a boyfriend?" said the mother, who looked very open-minded, "I want to ...... Forget it, I won't tell you, let's go eat. ”
Jia Rudao couldn't help but laugh out loud, or the mother at this time is the time for the most true temperament. Jia Rudao hurriedly walked a few steps and followed.
"However, I said that you are not too young, shouldn't you think about your life's events?" The mother suddenly turned around and said to Jia Rudao, "In the past, it can be said that I was worried that our family had no money and no power, and I didn't want to suffer other people's girls. It's good now, Mom sees that your little life is having a good time, shouldn't you also work hard?"
When Jia Yidao was thinking about how to answer, suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket rang very well.
Showing an apologetic look at his mother, Jia Rudao praised in his heart, who called at this time? I didn't look at the display screen, so I picked it up directly: "Hey?"
"Mr. Jia, are you free at noon? I want to ask you for dinner. "Hearing each other's voices, it seems to be glutinous, and a little sweet, very familiar.
It is said that Jia Yidao should be very happy about such a voice, but seeing that his mother was looking at him very vigilantly on the side, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Just skip the meal, Miss Zhou Sha, you better hurry up and say, what is the matter with me today?"
"Okay. Zhou Sha on the other end of the phone also seemed to hear the impatience in Jia Yidao's words, so he said straight to the point, "It's still the same thing I said last time, but I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again Mr. Jia recently." The TV station has set up a campaign to shoot an antique short program on our own when the program has not yet been decided. For specific things, you can see if you can make an appointment and we will meet. ”
"Well, yes. In terms of time, I think it's just afternoon. Jia Rudao pondered for a while, anyway, he didn't have anything special to do in the afternoon, "As for the location......
Jia Nidao hasn't said it yet, Xu is mother has heard the phone on the other end, it was a female voice, looking at Jia Rudao expectantly. Jia Rudao said very funny, "Then it's at my house." Remember, give me a call when you come......"
After hanging up the phone, my mother said happily: "I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, I'll just watch TV at home." It just so happens that your house must be a mess, so Mom will help you clean it up. lest you lose sight of people. ”
Jia Yidao shook his head, and sighed in his heart, with such an old mother on the stall, his immunity has been trained very strong!
……
I had a casual lunch at a restaurant on this side of the antique street, and ordered some home-cooked food.
After the meal, Jia Rudao simply stopped hiding it, first took his mother to the storage room for a walk, and introduced Xu Zhiguo and other employees to her. It can also be said that this is a close contact with the existence of jadeite rough by the mother. Immediately, his mother was very curious to watch Xu Zhiguo cut a gray jadeite rough stone, and then dug out the green jadeite material from it.
Originally, my mother was going to watch Xu Zhiguo directly carve this piece of jadeite material.
It's just that the carving of jadeite material can't be completed in a while, even if it was the stone cut just now, it was Jia Yidao who glanced at Xu Zhiguo when he saw that his mother was very interested, and Xu Zhiguo deliberately carried it out. Otherwise, in the past three or four days, it is unlikely that Xu Zhiguo and others will continue to cut stones.
The jadeite material on hand is still not finished, how can there be time to cut the stone!
"Son, after buying these stones, and then cutting them, you can make money?" The mother obviously felt that the stone cutting just now made a very deep impression on her. However, my mother was not surprised that jadeite could be cut out of the stone.
"For each piece of jadeite rough, according to its surface color, texture and so on, the owner will definitely come to set a suitable price. If we buy it, cut out the jadeite, and carve it into jadeite jewelry, the value obtained is greater than the value of the acquisition, then it is naturally profitable. If it's the other way around, it's a loss of money. Jia Rudao briefly explained the meaning of "gambling stone", and then said, "However, this is not absolute. It's like a jade carver like Xiao Xu, don't look at this small workshop, the equipment in it is not necessarily the best. However, a piece of jadeite material of poor quality, after careful design, and then carved, the difference in value during the period can sometimes reach several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. ”
"I still don't understand these things. I see, I'll show you the things over there in your shop. Mother shook her head, as if she was no longer interested in the carvings. However, as Jia Yidao's mother, before leaving, she encouraged Xu Zhiguo and others.
The words she said were very real, so that people couldn't find fault with her, and at the same time, they could feel her concern.
And when she arrived at Jia Nidao's villa, her mother had already become immune to the surprises brought by Jia Nidao one after another. All in all, in her own words: she saw far more surprise in one day than she had in most of her life.
Of course, just as Jia Rudao was about to say something with a smile on his face, his mother continued: "I hope the girl who will come later can also surprise me a lot." ”
Jia Rudao's face suddenly shrank.
Fortunately, there are property personnel who come to clean the villa regularly, but there is no need for the mother to clean it herself. Compared with the past when my mother came to visit me in the sea, I didn't have to let my mother work too hard.
