Chapter 400: Something Eyes See
As for what Miss Yang was pondering in her mind during that period of time, it was not something that Jia Nidao could know. Even at this point, the feeling that Miss Yang gave Jia Yidao was still a little unfathomable. First, I briefly talked to the other party about some things on the gambling stone. But. It is precisely because all the gains of Jia Nidao are the result of personally participating in the gambling stone, and the jade materials that appear in the jade shop are actually returned by gambling by himself, so it is reasonable that Jia Rudao will come to Changhua in person after becoming interested in bloodstone.
As for what Miss Yang thought before, Jia Rudao is not weak in the identification of bloodstone, which is better understood. A person who has a certain eye for jadeite rough stones, when looking at bloodstone wool, will not be a stunned green after all, right?
Jia Rudao felt in his heart that when Miss Yang heard that she was involved in gambling stones, a different color flashed in her eyes. That slight feeling of excitement, even if Miss Yang wanted to deliberately cover it up, she couldn't do it completely.
I thought about it for a while. Jia Rudao continued: "Miss Yang, just now I have also briefly analyzed the general situation of my 'green, fat, red and thin', and your 'Shi Zhixuan' also wants to work hard in the direction of diversification, I think, can the two of us ,......."
"Cooperation?" Miss Yang's mouth popped up with such a word. Jia Rudao couldn't help but nodded approvingly. Miss Yang pondered slightly, and nodded, but she also said with some worry. "On the surface, there are indeed great interests in the cooperation between our two families. However, how do you do it? You may also feel that the situation of our 'Shi Zhixuan' is much more complicated than that of your jade shop, right?"
"That's natural. Jia Nidao said with a smile, don't look at this time, Jia Nidao only saw such a 'Shi Zhixuan', and it was already the same as Jia Nidao's 'green, fat, red and thin'. can exist side by side, but it is still only a branch of 'Shi Zhixuan', so it can be seen that even in terms of cooperation, the dominant position occupied by the two sides will not be exactly the same, right?" If you want to cooperate comprehensively, my jade shop is naturally inferior to 'Shi Zhixuan'. โฆโฆโ
This is not Jia Yidao's arrogance, but this is actually the case.
If it is simply compared in terms of value, all the jade materials that Jia Rudao has on hand will definitely be worth more than the complete 'Shi Zhixuan'. However, in the eyes of the public, the influence of 'Shi Zhixuan' can't catch up with ten 'green, fat, red and thin', right?
"However, 'Shi Zhixuan' also has disadvantages compared to my jade shop. Jia Rudao glanced at Miss Yang. It seemed that she noticed that her expression had not changed much, so she continued, "My shop is completely up to me alone, and on the side of 'Shi Zhixuan', I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, right?"
"That's natural. The corners of Miss Yang's mouth showed a slight wry smile. Although 'Shi Zhixuan' is also a personal shop like Jia Yidao, it is because of inheritance, because of its history, it is far from being the head of a family, and it can be completely decided by saying a word at will. At least, Miss Yang in front of her does not have such power.
"And, speaking of the specifics of the operation,...... Jia seemed to pause. Quite a bit of a frustration, he said, "I don't think that the two of us can have a comprehensive and thorough cooperation." โ
"Oh?" When it came to the election, Miss Yang's expression had always been calm, but suddenly there was a trace of fluctuation, which seemed to be a little incomprehensible to Jia Nidao's suggestion. The curiosity in his eyes was obvious.
Jia Rudao didn't hide it, and said it very directly: "When I entered the door just now, I saw that on the side of 'Shi Zhixuan', in addition to bloodstone, there are many other types of things, such as nephrite, strange stones, and the like. Or, you mean you want to enter the various types of 'stone'. However, my jadeite shop is very different. I love bloodstone, and it's purely because of its color. To put it bluntly, I don't have much interest in other strange stones, nephrite and the like. โ
"I'm afraid it's not that Mr. Jia doesn't have much interest in nephrite, but that he thinks that there is nothing else in the 'Stone Xuan' that you can look at, right?" Miss Yang would not think so simply that what Jia Nidao said was completely sincere.
In this regard, Jia Rudao was also noncommittal. To be honest, it is really as Miss Yang said, in the 'Stone Xuan', except for bloodstone, Jia Yidao does not fancy other types of 'stones'. Not only the other three of the four famous stones except for Changhua bloodstone, but also those strange stone carvings, in the eyes of Jia Yidao, maybe Tian Huangshi will have a few more glances. But only for a few moments.
If you really want to talk about cooperation with 'Shi Zhixuan', it is nothing more than trying to find a more suitable partner for yourself. As for Tian Huangshi and the like, Jia Rudao doesn't think that a store like 'Shi Zhixuan' rooted in a place like Lin'an will be among the high-end routes of Tian Huangshi's sales.
What Jia Nidao needs is precisely the high-end market, and the object he wants to cooperate with naturally needs to provide such products. Otherwise, Jia Jia seems to be able to cooperate with a random shop, why do you have to choose 'Shi Zhixuan'? Just like nephrite, Jia seems to be very fond of jasper, black jade, white jade and the like. A person who loves jadeite. How much will you still be a little interested in nephrite, right?
If it is just for the purpose of simple cooperation, on the side of Jia Yidao's 'green, fat, red and thin', there is a 'Zhou Ji', and there is no need to go far and near.
The intention to cooperate in front of Miss Yang is to take a fancy to the ability of 'Shi Zhixuan' in Changhua Bloodstone.
And Miss Yang, just listening to Jia Nidao's remarks, as well as Jia Nidao's previous introduction to his 'green, fat, red and thin', you can see Jia Nidao's true purpose, which really made Jia Nidao a little surprised In the face of such a smart woman, for a while, Jia Nidao didn't know what to say, so he could only pretend to be profound, nodded lightly, and expressed his attitude with silence.
Perhaps, the only one who is able to do this will not be in a role that falls into the upper hand, right?
"So, has Mr. Jia ever thought about it? In fact, our 'Shi Zhixuan' is also taking the high-end route?" Miss Yang said meaningfully. "Whether it's bloodstone or nephrite, we've always believed that what we sell in our stores is a real, reliable high-end product. โ
"Miss Yang, I think you have misunderstood what I meant. Jia Rudao explained and said, "In my opinion, it doesn't mean that things are more right, and the price is relatively high, even if it is a high-end route." โ
As if he felt that his explanation was not very appropriate, Jia Rudao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, if you have the chance, can Miss Yang go to my 'green, fat, red and thin' side to have a look? โ
Anyway, it wasn't very clear to explain, but Jia Rudao felt that it was better to let the other party go to his own store directly. Some of the things in 'Shi Zhixuan' are indeed high-end routes in the eyes of ordinary collectors. But. Isn't Jia Yidao's 'green, fat, red and thin' also some jade jewelry worth thousands of dollars?
And Jia Rudao's so-called insistence on taking the high-end route and Miss Yang's understanding still have some essential differences after all. It's not that something with low value can't appear in your own store, or that when the value of something arrives, it must be a high-end product. [Wen ยข heart , hand , play a group, hand TAL, play , make a system]
Jia Rudao is more about creating an artistic conception that Bai Ji wants in his jade shop.
It's just that such an artistic conception of a store. But it's not something that Jia Yidao can explain clearly. Jia Yidao knew very well in his heart that if there were suddenly carvings such as strange stones in his own shop, it would not help his shop to enrich the diversity of varieties, but would destroy the harmonious feeling established when the original pure jade jewelry was established.
Let's just say that it's the 'Stone Pavilion' in front of you.
In Ah San's opinion, the things inside are naturally very numerous, and they are also full of attraction and temptation, but in Jia Rudao's view, such a 'Shi Zhixuan' has always lacked a little 'soul'-like existence.
Although, at this time, Jia Nidao didn't even know what he wanted to be like 'green, fat, red and thin', but in the continuous dialogue with Miss Yang, Jia Nidao gradually sorted out some thoughts that were usually a little vague. That is, for the time being, I don't know the effect I want, and it doesn't matter, just understand it literally from the words 'green, fat, red and thin'.
Since the green of the jade is already full of green, and the 'red' of the jade is relatively similar to the brightness of the chicken blood, Jia Yidao will naturally start with the expansion of the bloodstone. I am afraid that this is also after Jia Rudao ran the jade business, suddenly, he came to Changhua. One of the reasons to play Bloodstone is this!
Who made the bloodstone's share of 'blood red'. It's like a 'blood jade bracelet' in jadeite, which makes people can't bear to bump it?
Of course, Jia Nidao didn't mean that just a 'stone' with such a texture as bloodstone, like the elegant and noble yellow color of Tian Huangshi, was also a very ideal business object in Jia Nidao's heart.
As the saying goes, you can't eat a fat person in one bite, and you can't reach the sky in one step.
Jia Rudao pondered, whether it is for his own interests and hobbies, or the business he operates, he needs to come step by step. Now the jade and porcelain alone are a bit like a headless fly. No, I have to go to Yangzhou another day.
"Well, since Mr. Jia said so, I'm looking forward to 'green, fat, red and thin' even more. Miss Yang sat there, nodded and agreed, "Before that, can Mr. Jia participate in my father's sixtieth birthday tonight?"
"Oh, since it's here, it's such a coincidence, my uncle's birthday banquet is naturally going to attend. Jia Rudao said, "However, will it seem too abrupt?" And Miss Yang on the other side suddenly seemed to be smiling at this time, as if for a moment Jia Yidao felt that there was some conspiracy in tonight's birthday banquet.
Could it be that in the moment of silence just now, Miss Yang was ready to invite herself?
Jia Nidao blinked his eyes, and muttered in his heart, if after Jia Nidao proposed the cooperation between the two sides, Miss Yang decided to invite herself to her father's birthday banquet, it would be in the past. But if it was planned from the beginning. I am bound to need to measure it well. However, soon, Jia Rudao felt a little funny about his thoughts, if Miss Yang can do something on her father's sixtieth birthday, such a person, such a character, does it also mean that she looks at people blindly?
"Originally, my father was ready to make a simple gesture at home, but his friends had to give him a banquet, and he also specially made a guess and doubao and other words, so there will be a lot of people in the circle who will come over. Miss Yang said, "Mr. Jia is also a member of the Jade Party, such a gathering is exactly the right time, how can it be abrupt?"
As she spoke, Miss Yang quickly asked the waiter to send two invitations. Jia Rudao took a rough look, it was inlaid with gold leaf, and the overall red color also showed a bit of solemnity.
At this time, Jia Yidao's thoughts no longer seemed to be thinking about Miss Yang's father's birthday banquet. But when the time comes, you can meet a lot of insiders who also play jade, or antiques.
Knowing these people and walking into this circle, not to mention Jia Yidao, it is also beneficial to Ah San, who is still admiring the bloodstone carving outside, right?
โฆโฆ
pulled Ah San, who was still a little confused after seeing the invitation, and walked out of the door of 'Shi Zhixuan'. Jia Rudao's heart still had a feeling of amazement. After receiving the invitation, the conversation between Jia Yidao and Miss Yang seemed to become more casual. When there are too many counts, it is also the deeds of some other insiders in Zhejiang Province.
Either it's just a gambling stone, or it's just something else.
Although Lin'an is relatively speaking, it is not as good as Hangzhou, but it also has some heritage. As the more famous 'Shi Zhixuan' on the Lin'an side, it has a long history, and the information that can be seen and learned in it is far more than that of Jia Yidao and Ah San on the Linhai side.
Of course, at this point, Jia Rudao also understood that the reason why Miss Yang went to the foot of Yuyan Mountain for two or three days to purchase bloodstone was precisely because of her father's birthday banquet. Although Miss Yang had prepared a congratulatory gift a long time ago, it was because her father himself liked to gamble on wool, so as a child, he was naturally happy to do what he liked.
Miss Yang's plan is to buy a new piece of bloodstone wool for use at the birthday banquet.
In the eyes of insiders, this is really a common thing.
However, in the past two days, from the Yuyan Mountain Market Trading Area, I have not received wool that is relatively good in terms of quality, and can cut out the best bloodstone with a slightly larger probability. This somewhat disappointed Miss Yang. It can't be said that you can pick a piece at random and move it to your father's birthday banquet, right?
In this way, Jia Rudao felt it even more. The piece of bloodstone wool that was auctioned off in the trading area was a bit heavy.
Shouldn't you go for a better one? Take the hand of the congratulatory gift. How about going to Miss Yang's father's birthday banquet again?
Jia Rudao secretly pondered the feasibility of this idea, since gifts are indispensable, it is better to send a 'thick' one directly. It can be regarded as repaying that favor.
And Miss Yang's encounter with Jia Nidao at the 'Shi Zhixuan' branch was really an accident. In advance, Miss Yang's heart should be the same as Jia Yidao, but she didn't think about meeting again. Miss Yang can appear here, but also because she wants to find the wool stock of this branch!
Its true purpose is self-evident.
"I said Xiao Jia, what's going on with this invitation?" It was blown by the wind in the street. Ah San finally had a little reminiscence, and in an instant, he made a joke like a joke, "Shouldn't I accompany me to meet my mother-in-law and father-in-law?"
"you. It's not serious. Jia seemed to glance at Ah San, "Let's talk to you like this." She gave me these two invitations because I sold you!
"Yes, I can sell it to such a woman, and I admit it. Her mouth alone is worth the ticket price. I can't say it, but that's what I really hope for in my heart. Hehe,...... Ah San sighed, "It's a pity for the little daughter-in-law in my family." ......" finished. also shook his head and pretended to be.
Jia Rudao originally wanted to sigh something. Seeing Ah San like this, for a while. But I don't even have the interest to speak. Ah San suddenly, he turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jia, you said that I thought so, is it too much, that, a little evil?"
"Yes!" When Jia Rudao replied, he made his voice so long that he muttered in a low voice, "It's really hopeless." โ
Speaking of fun, he suddenly appeared like himself at this time. Isn't it the same as Ah San just now? shook his head and shook his head, with an expression of sighing. suddenly laughed out loud, and saw that Ah San in front of him was a little inexplicable.
After that, the two went to a few more shops. Compared with the previous aimlessness, Jia Rudao and Ah San have the same goal at this time, that is, to get a congratulatory gift first.
Now that you've accepted the invitations, you can't go empty-handed, right? What they saw was either not suitable enough, or they couldn't see it. It's almost like going around in circles, Jia Rudao and Ah San. It's still empty-handed.
"Isn't it our life that we can only go empty-handed?" Ah San glanced at Jia Rudao.
"Let's go. Jia Rudao ignored Ah San's complaints, and said directly, "At the beginning, haven't you been preparing to go to the 'Yunlai Pavilion'? Maybe you'll find some good stuff. โ
"That's right. Ah San clapped his hands, "Why did I forget this goal." โ
Because Miss Yang invited him to sit in the 'Shi Zhixuan' halfway, Ah San saw a lot of bloodstone carvings, and after leaving the store, he was busy looking for congratulatory gifts, and he was also in a few shops next to the 'Shi Zhixuan', but he ignored the initial goal. Ah San's tone of voice was a little annoyed.
"If we had known, we should have gone over there and had a look. Ah San gestured to the end of the street with his eyes. According to the tips of others, it should be the far place that Jia Rudao and Ah San have not walked for the time being. Compared to the antique street near the sea, this street here. Undoubtedly longer. Of course, the antique street on the other side of the sea is intertwined with several streets. The entire bazaar almost forms an area of antiques. It's nothing more than the main shops and stalls, all concentrated on the main road.
โฆโฆ
The signboard of 'Yunlai Pavilion' looked very new, and when Jia Yidao and Ah San approached, they could almost smell the slightest scent of ink. Originally, I thought it was a shop for stationery utensils, but just like the shopkeeper I just met, it was probably an inkstone, pen and ink, and the like. When they entered the store, they surprised Jia Yidao and Ah San.
โฆโฆ
Throughout the store, there are literally all kinds of things. It's not so much an antique shop. It's more like a grocery store. It's just that the things placed in this store are not like ordinary 'groceries', but a possibility that they have become antiques worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Of course, if you can dig out the 'antique' from it.
Ah San and Jia Yidao glanced at each other, and they seemed to see a hint of joy in each other's eyes!
