Chapter 383: Busy Business
For a while, Jia seemed to be standing in the 'green, fat, red and thin', but he felt a little redundant.
However, Jia Nidao is also happy to be idle, whether it is Xiaoqian's side or his parents' side, Jia Nidao can't help much. Such a simple and important job as collecting money, Jia Rudao handed over to his parents, and naturally he could completely put his mind at ease.
And Xiaoqian, on her part, has already told her to try her best to put safety first, and one customer after another will not make mistakes. After all, it is understandable to treat jadeite jewelry worth thousands or tens of thousands, even if customers see that the salesperson is a little slow. Can you still expect to have a 'bargaining with me' when you buy vegetables in the vegetable market, and have a lot of fun?
On Li Shiyun's side, because there were more onlookers, some of them wanted to buy, and because they couldn't get in the position for the time being, they could only be by Li Shiyun's side, and listen to Li Shiyun's advice first. Especially a lot of jade burners, at this time, they completely treat Li Shiyun as a role model, not to mention Li Shiyun's beautiful appearance and warm voice, just Li Shiyun's explanation as an industry insider can attract their attention to a large extent.
After evacuating the friends who came to congratulate, Jia Yidao began to walk to Li Shiyun's side, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which was very tacit, and immediately shared part of the customers.
Li Shiyun's existence as a 'commentator' naturally continued to attract the pursuit of most men.
And Jia Rudao is here to deal with those Tibetan friends who are interested in buying jadeite jewelry to collect. At least, the jadeite that appeared in this 'green, fat, red and thin' was carefully selected by Jia Yidao from the storeroom. If you talk about the understanding of these jade jewelry, even Xu Zhiguo and other carving masters, I am afraid that it is not as comprehensive as Jia Rudao, right?
However, perhaps because of the appearance of the best jadeite on the display table, many jadeite collectors, after seeing these superb jadeite jewelry, the aesthetic vision, or the jadeite jewelry they are ready to collect, has suddenly improved more than one grade.
In particular, one of the Tibetan friends, when he saw Jia Rudao, pointed to a piece of the best glass imperial green jadeite ring in the display case, and said excitedly: "I have been collecting jadeite for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have come into contact with the imperial green jadeite of the glass species so closely." ”
The words that came out, accompanied by a somewhat trembling voice, were enough to show how excited he was at the moment. Not only that, but he was also full of praise for the bright green jadeite glass.
From his words, Jia Rudao can also understand that such a middle-aged man in front of him must be a collector of 'green' jadeite. In his eyes, there was almost nothing but these 'green' jadeites.
Of course, the rest also like red jadeite, some like purple jadeite, especially the three 'zodiac', and from the simple three 'zodiac' carvings, I can see Jia Yidao's intentions, and asked curiously: "Boss Jia, is there any leftover material for your 'purple eyes', ready to be used to carve the animal forms in other 'zodiac'?"
"Oh, how did you see that?" Jia Yidao was also slightly surprised in his heart. From the perspective of jadeite collection, it is not a big deal for a senior Tibetan to know the term 'purple eyes'. However, from Jia Yidao's simple display, it can be seen that this should belong to a set of 'works', but it is to be admired.
"It's not easy. The man smiled and said: "If the two 'snake studs' and 'dragon-shaped brooches' in front are still carved according to the size and shape of the jadeite material, then this 'mouse-shaped ring face' is undoubtedly a bit modest." Of course, well, I'm not saying that this piece is more ordinary, I mean ......"
Xu is the word 'moderation', the person who came suddenly realized that he was in 'green, fat, red and thin', and he was also facing the owner of the jade shop, so he was ready to explain.
Jia Rudao can understand what he means, and he also knows where he can see that this should be a complete set of works. Because, in terms of the form of carving, the image of "rat" is undoubtedly very realistic, but compared with the previous "snake" and "dragon", it is a little less carved according to the material. That is to say, this jadeite ring face, in addition to carving 'rat', can also be other animal forms.
In this way, it is reasonable to be able to guess the 'zodiac' when you think of the animal form of the three 'purple-eyed' jade materials.
"Hehe, I really have such a plan......" Before Jia Yidao finished speaking, the Tibetan friend asked anxiously, "Then after you finish carving, will you put them together for exhibition?"
Speaking of which, that's what this collector cares about the most, right?
In other jade shops, there are also things like the treasure of the town shop. However, in terms of quantity, it is not as much as the current 'green, fat, red and thin'. Sometimes, getting such a 'glass imperial green jadeite' can be regarded as a treasure of the town. And in the entire Linhai area, in addition to Yang Qi's 'Apocalypse Jewelry Company', I am afraid that there is no other jade store that has the strength to display many pieces of the best jadeite, right?
Jadeite collectors with a little bit of a brain will understand that there is no possibility for them to get these superb jadeite, so they can only find a chance to find a time to see and enjoy it. Jia Rudao dared to guarantee that as long as the display table near the inside of his jade shop was not revoked, then there would be an endless stream of Tibetan friends who came to admire these superb jadeites every day.
Compared with several other shops on the antique street, Jia Rudao directly announced his best collection, which is naturally easier to accumulate popularity than them.
However, this is also caused by the difference in the things operated, and everyone will not have any special opinions, for example, the porcelain of 'Ciyun Zhai', Boss Gong will never put his own collection out, first, there is no need for that, it is enough to keep good things for yourself to appreciate, just like those big collectors, if it is not for charity or friends to visit or the like, the rest of the time, if someone wants to appreciate his collection, it is a difficult thing. Second, there is a certain difference between the collection of porcelain and things like jadeite.
The collection of porcelain, those who collect enthusiasts, especially those who have the ability to collect the best porcelain, will definitely have their own way, that is, belong to such a circle of porcelain collection, you are a person in this circle, and naturally you will understand who has what you like to like. If you're not in this circle, it doesn't mean anything to you, even if you put porcelain over there.
Looking at the jade collector in front of him, Jia Rudao nodded at him, promising that after all the jade ornaments of the 'Zodiac' were carved, they would be placed in the 'green, fat, red and thin' for a certain amount of time when they had the opportunity. Anyway, this is also Jia Yidao's own store.
If you don't put it in your own jade shop, can you still display it in someone else's store?
As for the 'jewelry exhibition' in Hangzhou in a few days, it was just a propaganda campaign to start the name of 'green, fat, red and thin' of Jia Nidao. If after the opening, Jia Rudao was still worried that his jadeite shop was not qualified enough, not strong enough, and did not have too strong gimmicks to seize the local jadeite market, then, after seeing so many jadeite collectors, especially their heart-warming eyes, the worry in Jia Rudao's heart has long disappeared.
Different realms have different visions.
What Jia Rudao thought of at this time was no longer the local jade market in Linhai, but a place farther away......
glanced at Li Shiyun on the side, the indifference and elegance, as well as the tranquility of Ji Yanran over there, seemed to be the charm of people and pearls and air, all of which taught people's hearts, in the lively atmosphere, they felt the same comfort and quiet!
However, this is also Jia Rudao's feelings, and some of the rest of the customers are talking more about jade jewelry. Excluding the real jadeite lovers just mentioned, there are many people who are making phone calls at this time to inform their friends to come and watch, and there are more ladies in the jadeite shop!
In Jia Rudao's view, these people are the largest consumer group in physical stores.
"I like that blood jade bracelet the most, just looking at it makes my heart flutter. A middle-aged woman, who was relatively gorgeous in dress, said with some envy: "It's a pity that the bracelet is not ready to be sold, and I can only look at it and enjoy it." ”
"Not really. The woman on the side, who is also the age of a half-old, is not gorgeous in dress, but she also has a mature charm, but she is standing next to Li Shiyun, but she looks a little old, "This can be regarded as someone's signature jade, which is specially used to attract customers like us." I've taken a fancy to those superb purple jadeites. Especially the snake-shaped jade stud earrings, oops, I'm a snake. Who would have thought that when I asked the little girl just now, she said that it was not for sale, and the price was not even marked, didn't it mean to make people look greedy......"
"It seems that we can only find some jade jewelry with a marked price to satisfy our collection**. The middle-aged woman sighed.
"Actually, you don't have to be too disappointed, I can tell you, for jade jewelry, I have visited a lot of places, and I still have a little eyesight. The half-old said, "The jade jewelry here, especially those, is very good, if you have spare money, you can buy one or two pieces back." As she spoke, she also pointed to the display cabinet behind Ji Yanran, and several red jade pendants placed on the side of the blood jade bracelet.
"How many pieces?" said the middle-aged woman with a wry smile, "Why do I think that compared to the blood jade bracelet, it doesn't taste like much?"
"It depends on who you compare to. The woman said, "Don't you know, I've seen a lot of red jadeite in other jade shops, and compared to this one, it's even more tasteless." Oh, I won't tell you, but there is a guy over there who has started to ask about the 'purple jade bracelet' I fancied, and I have to go and tell the little girl to keep it for me. ”
"Are all the jadeites in this shop true?" a young and fashionable woman, standing in the vacant space on the other side of the counter, asked the woman in red next to her about the jade pendant hanging on the wall.
"I don't know. The woman in red replied very simply.
However, as soon as her words fell, Jia Rudao came to the side of the two of them and explained: "Two young ladies, please rest assured, the jadeite jewelry on our side is all processed by our own company, and the source of the jadeite material is also the jadeite rough from Myanmar." So, you can rest assured that it is absolutely authentic. ”
"It's all you talking about it, how can we believe it. The fashionable woman glanced at Jia Nidao, and felt that Jia Nidao's tone of voice should belong to the jade shop, so she couldn't help muttering. However, after looking at the jade jewelry in the store, he added: "However, it looks like it's quite true." ”
"Hehe, if you don't believe your eyes, or have doubts about our jadeite jewelry, we can issue an appraisal certificate in the province," this is a genuine appraisal certificate, each one is for a jadeite jewelry, you can see it by entering the certificate number on the Internet. ”
"Really?" said the woman in red in surprise, "I've heard that many jadeite shops have a certificate and use many jadeite ornaments. ”
"It is undeniable that the jadeite industry is not very mature. Jia Rudao nodded and said, "But you can rest assured when you buy jewelry in our jade shop." As long as it is within a week, if you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can get a full refund. For friends who come from out of town, we promise a full refund within two weeks, no questions asked. Moreover, because it is open today, if you buy jade jewelry, there will be a small gift!"
"Then I'm going to have to pick one. The woman in red said, "Just choose the red jade." Seeing that you are also from the store, why don't you introduce us to it?"
"Introduction?" Jia Yidao smiled bitterly, looking at the two in front of him, it didn't look like he could afford to buy those jade jewelry that were very expensive, this is not to say that Jia Yidao underestimated the two of them, but really for looking at people, Jia Yidao still has some confidence.
In the past, I also worked in the unit for a few days, didn't I? When I gambled on stones, I experienced a lot of things, right? Moreover, for Feichang jewelry, unless those who are ready to enter the jadeite industry and invest in the so-called investment in the collection of jadeite jewelry, some of the rest of the people, if they do not have a comparative understanding of jadeite, will definitely not spend millions to collect jadeite jewelry.
However, I feel that I am also idle at this time, and I can't just watch Xiao Qian be busy, and my boss won't help at all, right? Jia Rudao couldn't help but open his mouth and asked: "Then you two, what price do you need for jade jewelry?"
"Is this important?" The fashionable woman obviously didn't know much about the selection of jadeite jewelry, "We just passed by here and came in to see the opening, shouldn't you ask first, what kind ......of style do we need to choose?"
"Style is very important, but I personally think the first thing you need to determine is your affordability. Jia Rudao explained, "For example, it is the same jade bracelet, in terms of color, there are red, green, blue, and so on. As long as you like it, take a look at it, and you can choose it quickly, right?"
The woman in red and the fashionable woman both nodded, and Jia Rudao continued: "And the style, it's nothing more than a hand that is not suitable for you to wear, after taking a fancy to the jade jewelry, take it out and try it, it is also easy to solve." We take this situation into account, unless it is the best jadeite, the vast majority of jadeite styles will have different sizes for customers to choose. ”
Then, Jia Yidao pointed to Xiao Qian's side and said, "See where you are?"
When Jia Rudao was speaking, a customer ordered a jade bracelet on the counter, and Xiao Qian carefully took it out from the counter, allowing the customer to touch and feel it with his own hands, and he could also try to wear it. Such a scene, in the eyes of the woman in red and the fashionable woman, is much more straightforward than Jia Nidao's language explanation.
"But, in terms of price, let's talk about the jade bracelet you just saw. Jia Yidao gestured and said, "We have a cheap one here, there are thousands of yuan, you can buy one, but it's expensive......" Jia Yidao pointed to the display cabinet and said, "But it needs tens of millions." ”
"Tens of millions, oh my God......" The woman in red stuck out her tongue in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Then let's choose one or two thousand yuan jade jewelry first. The fashionable woman stabilized her emotions and said, "This price of tens of millions is not something that people like us can buy." ”
"Hehe, if that's the case. Well, I suggest you take a look at it here. Jia Rudao pointed to an area on the long counter and said, "The jade jewelry in here is almost all thousands of yuan, which is more suitable for your requirements." Of course, if you just appreciate it and feel the charm of jadeite, I suggest that you can also compare the jadeite jewelry with a very large price difference and the same style. I believe that after you compare it yourself, you will have a different understanding of jadeite. ”
Scenes like this appear one after another in 'green, fat, red and thin'.
Whether it is those real jadeite collectors, or many celebrities and ladies who deliberately increase their status in the name of jadeite, or novices who have little knowledge of jadeite, there will always be their joy after arriving at 'green, fat, red and thin'.
The reason for this situation is related to Jia Nidao's careful planning. Not to mention the variety of jadeite jewelry, the difference in color, texture, and water head is also a great selling point, not to mention, there are so many excellent jadeite appearance?
If it weren't for the fact that today is still the first day of opening, most of the jadeite collectors, such as those who are a little far away from Linhai, haven't all rushed over, Jia Yidao is thinking that such a small jadeite shop will not be able to accommodate so many people.
This can be seen from the happy smiles on the faces of those customers.
During the period, there were some people who were originally shopping for some gadgets on the stalls on this side of the antique street, after curiously entering the jade shop of Jia Yidao, they listened to the introduction of Li Shiyun and others, and then saw a lot of excellent jadeite, and the pocket was relatively shy, and simply asked, whether there are hundreds of dollars, preferably dozens of dollars of jade jewelry, if there is, they also have to collect a piece back.
It made Jia Yidao feel like he couldn't cry or laugh.
Only when one's own things are relatively high-grade, can the reputation of a jade shop be spread, right? Jia Rudao pondered, he is not selling cheap goods, so before the opening, he did not do any special publicity. When it comes to 'word of mouth', is it more authentic and reliable than mutual publicity between customers?
And because of the busy scene in the entire jade shop, at noon, Jia Rudao and a few people did not spare time to rush to eat. In the end, Xiaoqian came up with an idea, and directly ordered a few takeaways, and everyone ate in the jade shop, and they made do.
In the afternoon, my father looked at the busy scene, and finally relieved a little, walked to Jia Nidao's side, patted Jia Nidao's shoulder, and said a few words of earnestness, and went back. At that moment, Jia seemed to clearly see the relief on his father's face!
At the end of the day, the money that passed through his father's hands was real, and this form of explanation was far stronger than what Jia Yidao told on the phone.
