Chapter 382 - Results (Supplement 5.14)
Occasional apologies! Occasional mistakes, occasional guilt, occasional negligence.
As mentioned in the previous chapter, three pieces of 'purple eyes' were carved into the finished products of the zodiac, and one was used as an original exhibition, and there should be 'nine' pieces left, not eight. Miscalculation (I didn't graduate from kindergarten), let's forgive me.
Once everything involves itself, even if it is a smart woman, it is not as clear as others, right?
Just as Li Shiyun didn't think of herself when she saw the jade ornament, and Ji Yanran could detect it after seeing it at a glance. Just as at this point, Ji Yanran can deduce from the carving techniques and traces, and even the final effect of the carving, that the three animal-shaped 'purple eyes' carvings in the 'zodiac' in front of her belong to Jia Yidao himself, but Li Shiyun just saw the beauty of these three jade jewelry!
However, Li Shiyun's exclamation also made Jia Rudao, who originally needed to face Ji Yanran's questioning, have a buffer time, and his mentality has become more comfortable to deal with. I pondered it in my mind for a while, and then I began to continue: "How to say, it can't be said that my carving techniques are very chic, my carving methods, but I learned them from Xiao Xu." It can only be said that my feeling for jadeite materials, grasp better, more in place, well, it should be more accurate than the general carving master. Therefore, when carving, I will have more thoughts on my own, and I will pay more attention to those places that are more brilliant, so that the effect after carving is what you see now. ”
It's over, Jia Rudao also added unsatisfactorily: "Don't say that you have seen it, I think it is more special, that is, a few people who taught me carving techniques, after reading it, I also feel that the jade jewelry I carved out is different from most people's works." ”
Although this discourse has the element of self-selling and boasting, because of the three works in front of them as a factual basis, Ji Yanran and Li Shiyun will not feel that Jia is frivolous.
"Hmm. Ji Yanran nodded in response while thinking. At least, she still understands the meaning of Jia Yidao's words. It is nothing more than that Jia Rudao has a high talent for jadeite, and when carving, it can also be carried out according to the texture of jadeite, so that the natural nature of the jadeite material can be shown to a greater extent, and it is logical.
You know, this is the explanation that Jia Yidao began to figure out after knowing that he used his ability perception to carve jadeite, which could have a very obvious effect?
After all, the things carved out by Jia Rudao are meant to be seen by people, and if there is no reasonable explanation, it is not appropriate to publicize them in the future, even if it is to engage in mysticism, it can only be a temporary expedient measure. Jia Rudao doesn't want others to know what he is special, and he can also have the existence of special abilities, which is also his biggest secret.
Even his parents weren't ready to tell him.
As for this, after having such a statement, if others doubt it again, then Jia Rudao will have no choice. After careful comparison, when Jia Rudao used his ability to perceive, he really didn't have any other abilities except for a better understanding of the texture, shape, and structure of jadeite. Moreover, what is especially important is that Jia Yidao's spiritual power at this time is enough to show his carving skills in front of others.
This was in front of Xu Zhiguo and the others, but they had all tried it, and they couldn't see it at all, in the process of carving, Jia Rudao used supernatural perception to cheat. Therefore, even if Ji Yanran was pondering, and there was still a little doubt on her face, Jia Rudao would not worry.
However, after listening to Jia Yidao's words, Li Shiyun simply chose to believe it. It seems that Jia Yidao said, and she is naturally reluctant to think about it. In this way, she is by Ji Yanran's side, which may make people feel a little 'stupid', but it is more in line with Jia Yidao's intentions.
Even Jia Yidao's eyes looking at Li Shiyun will be warm at this time, right?
accompanied this group of people to roughly visit the entire jade shop, and during the process, Jia Rudao was not good at accompanying Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran throughout the whole process. However, when Jia Nidao left the two, most of the owners of the antique street shops such as Boss Gong and others in the area couldn't help but have a little more intriguing smile on their faces when they saw Jia Nidao and Ji Yanran walking together for so long, and there were still people laughing.
It seemed that for a moment, Jia Yidao felt that the smiles of Boss Gong and the others were also a little more cordial.
Jia Rudao didn't care, and encountered some questions raised by some guests, such as the existence of 'chanterelle yellow jadeite', what kind of jadeite rough stone appeared, or whether the number of 'purple eyes' could be revealed, and whether it would circulate to the market. After all, there was a sign on the display that it would not be sold, but it was all shrewd people who were present.
In this world, there is nothing that must not be sold. Jia Rudao didn't want to sell it, it was just that the price had not reached his bottom line.
When Jia Nidao heard this, he gave a direct reply to those who could answer, but he couldn't say that among the people present, there were many people who would be Jia Nidao's customers in the future, but it was not good to offend. Of course, more people ask about the glass imperial green jade jewelry, bright green jade jewelry, red jade jewelry and the like in the display case. The display of such a large number of superb jadeite, while illustrating the connotation of 'green, fat, red and thin', will also have a certain impact on the price of the best jadeite jewelry on the market. Especially when Jia Rudao does business, he pays attention to real materials.
Take Li Shiyun's 'Poetry Jewelry' as an example. In the two stores, the same glass bright green jade bracelet, if it is the same price, then, the bright green jade bracelet in the 'green, fat, red and thin' is undoubtedly slightly better in terms of transparency and water head!
As long as you are a caring person, I am afraid you will choose to buy it at the store here in Jia Rudao, right?
This is a deal of hundreds of thousands, millions, and it is far from being able to be blocked by such a distance from the provincial capital to the sea. Unless it is those bosses like tyrants, who want a big brand or a big store, whether they will come to Linhai and choose to buy jadeite is not what Jia Yidao cares about at all.
As long as those who really like jadeite can buy genuine 'jadeite collectibles' from their own jadeite shop, Jia Yidao will be very satisfied! Moreover, most jadeite collectors are not wealthy. For the best jadeite, everyone likes it, but there are not many people who have the financial resources to collect, generally, are to choose some mid-range carving skills and more exquisite jadeite jewelry to collect.
Otherwise, the jade line would not have the words 'see it and have it' circulating.
It would be unrealistic to say that Jia Yidao is ready to make a lot of money through these Tibetan friends who like jadeite collection. Therefore, when Jia Rudao marked the price, he did not make any articles on these jade jewelry, so that Jia Rudao did not care, but it would also attract the suspicion of some other jade merchants.
Is Jia Yidao preparing to fight a price war at the beginning of the opening?
When a person asks about the price positioning of the overall jadeite jewelry in 'green, fat, red and thin', Jia Rudao can still think that it is an ordinary problem, and simply deal with the past. However, when two people asked, and the tone became a little playful, Jia Rudao knew that something was wrong. Hurriedly told everyone what he thought, anyway, Jia Rudao didn't think about fighting with others.
The jadeite market is so big, Jia Rudao opened a jadeite shop here, took a foot from it, and bit a certain profit, that is for sure, and there is nothing to hide. What's more, Jia Nidao's jadeite shop still has a strong advantage! Almost from the source of jadeite materials, to the carving of jadeite products, and to the sale of the shop here, Jia Nidao does not need to go through the exploitation of other merchants, all of which can be handled by Jia Nidao himself, and the profits during this period are huge, so let's not talk about it for the time being. Even if other merchants want to be jealous, they can only start from other aspects, and cannot attack from the jadeite product itself.
Therefore, when Jia Rudao answered, his tone was cautious, but he was full of confidence.
At the end, when everyone was about to disperse, Boss Gong of 'Ciyun Zhai' sighed: "If it is really a hero who comes out of a teenager, one generation is stronger than the next." Xiao Jia has such achievements at a young age, and the future is limitless. We're old guys, we're really old......"
Although Boss Gong plays porcelain, he is also an influential person on the side of the antique street. Jia Rudao clearly saw the relieved smiles of his mother and father in the crowd, and suddenly felt that although these people's sighs at this time gave Jia Nidao a lot of pressure, but behind him, didn't he have the support of his parents?
Isn't it with the help of friends like Ah San, Uncle Zhou Fugui, and Liu Yufei?
In addition, Jia Rudao's eyes also glanced at Li Shiyun. At this time, she and Ji Yanran were also standing in the group of girls where her mother was, plus Zhou Sha, the three women were so beautiful and conspicuous in the crowd, the beauty and the jade complemented each other, looking forward to the brilliance, but it was a toe-toe landscape.
Suddenly, in Jia Rudao's heart, he felt a sense of arrogance. What pressure, what price problems, it's all out of the question, just let those jade merchants deliberately squeeze themselves with sour words, let them blush at the price of these jade jewelry in their own jade stores.
Jia Nidao has made up his mind that he will not reduce the price, but will only gradually increase the price as the price of jadeite materials in the market continues to rise! Even if it opens today, what if it wants a big reward? The method adopted by Jia Rudao is still not to give a discount, but to give gifts.
The difference between the two is that only those customers who purchase high-end jadeite products can understand the deep taste, right?
After Boss Gong and the others left, Uncle Zhou Fugui of 'Zhou Ji' came to Jia Nidao's side, patted Jia Nidao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's very good, it's much better than I imagined." However, you can't be proud, do a good job!"
"Hmm. For Uncle Zhou Fugui, Jia Rudao said sincerely, "I will continue to work hard." ”
"Xiao Jia, your shop here is even more beautiful than ours, to be honest, I'm jealous. Ali on the side said, but then her eyes rolled and said, "However, there are indeed a lot of jade jewelry on your side, all of them are beautiful, you see, we are so familiar, do you give me one......
"You girl......" Jia Rudao didn't say anything, but Uncle Zhou Fugui slapped Ali's head with a smile, "People have just opened their doors to do business, how can there be any reason to give you one first?"
"No, it's clear that Xiao Jia is more stingy...... Ali muttered, "Moreover, Xiao Jia's stone cutting was completed with my help......
Saying this, Ji Yanran knew what had happened, so she naturally laughed stupidly, but Li Shiyun asked curiously. And the mother on the side also looked at Ali with wide eyes. Jia Rudao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but Ali suddenly became proud.
Fortunately, at this time, the rest of the people who came to visit were almost scattered, and Jia Rudao was also displayed by De Ali here. Like Liu Yufei and Wang Biao, they naturally didn't need Jia Nidao to greet them, and after they briefly took a look at the layout in 'Green, Fat, Red and Thin', they gave Jia Nidao a thumbs up and took the lead in leaving.
After all, there are so many people in this place, and they don't know much, so there is no special point in staying here and watching.
It's just that when Liu Yufei left, he saw that Jia Yidao was surrounded by Ji Yanran and Li Shiyun, so the meaning of giving a thumbs up, I'm afraid it also means something else, right?
And friends like Lao Yang and Xiao Liuzi went even more simply. For them, when Jia Yidao's jade shop opened, it was necessary to come and take a walk. But if they want to stand here and admire the finished jadeite, it is a bit difficult for strong people.
Standing with a large group of experts, this boss, that boss, Lao Yang always felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Xiao Liuzi, the two said goodbye to Jia Yidao, and left. On the contrary, a few gangsters around Lao Yang were ordered by Lao Yang to stay.
No, when a group of visitors dispersed, 'green, fat, red and thin' naturally ushered in real customers. Although it was Wednesday and the time was in the morning, it was the opening of a shop after all, and many Tibetan friends who like jadeite still heard some rumors.
So the customers who came to see the bottom line, said too much, and said less is not too little. The few gangsters left by Lao Yang temporarily acted as security guards.
Speaking of which, this is also the negligence of Jia Yidao and Ah San.
Because in places like 'Zhouji' and 'Ciyunzhai', there are no security guards, and there are really not many gangsters who can go to the antique street to make trouble, and few people dare to make such a fuss. Moreover, in normal times, even during the weekend market, there are not many customers in the shops on this side of the antique street, only one or two guys, and the occasional boss will come in person, which is enough to deal with it. is like Uncle Zhou Fugui and Ali in 'Weekly Notes', and occasionally Ji Yanran will be seen on weekends.
But to say that every store is equipped with a certain amount of security is really too extravagant.
It's just that, after all, today is the day of the opening of 'green, fat, red and thin', and many local people who like jadeite in Linhai are still willing to come to check it, such as whether there are any new jadeite ornaments in the store, whether there is any appearance of the best jadeite, or the grade and price of the overall jadeite jewelry, and so on. These are the concerns of the majority of jadeite lovers.
Faintly, Jia Rudao also saw that there were TV camera crews and hosts filming at the door. couldn't help but immediately glance at Zhou Sha meaningfully, and the other party happened to turn his head to look at Jia Yidao, and smiled sweetly.
Come to think of it, the person standing at the door outside for filming and interviewing is the intern host with the same identity as Zhou Sha. For competitors, Jia Rudao didn't think Zhou Sha would admit his mistake.
Jia Rudao gave way slightly, turned sideways, and turned his head to see that the jade shop was soon lively. As the saying goes, 'laymen look at the liveliness, insiders look at the doorway', since many customers have entered the jade shop, the 'green, fat, red and thin' side has become a little 'noisy'.
Jia Yidao suddenly felt that his prediction seemed to be wrong.
Even on the day of the opening of the jade store, there was no substantial publicity, but the customers who came came were wave after wave, far from Jia Yidao's imagination. On my mother's side, there was no leisure to talk and laugh at this time, and I went to the cash register by myself, and I was nervously busy. In the mother's own words: This is all my son's money, so naturally I have to pay more attention.
Even his father, who seems to be pulled by his mother, temporarily became a helper, counting cash and swiping cards, and was very busy!
As for Xiaoqian, well, she is the busiest person at this time. Not only do you have to answer some questions raised by customers, but sometimes, you have to take the jade jewelry out of the counter and give it to customers. Moreover, a pair of eyes have to be kept an eye on, but you can't let the jade jewelry you just take out out of your sight.
This is also what Jia Nidao explained in advance.
When trading, it doesn't matter if it's slow, it's a big deal, it's just a few less business. However, it is necessary to put an end to some people who come to fish in troubled waters, and be careful not to let them succeed! The loss of one or two pieces of jade ornaments is secondary, and the main thing is that it can promote such an atmosphere. If anyone succeeds, maybe Ming'er will be a group of fishers in troubled waters, and they will come here to join in the fun.
However, the flow of people is large, and Xiaoqian is naturally too busy to be alone. No, Li Shiyun, the owner of 'Shiyun Jewelry', also has experience in selling jade videos, so he helped out and played the role of 'salesperson' without Jia Yidao's invitation. Seeing Jia Rudao's somewhat surprised appearance, Li Shiyun just pretended not to care at all and said: "Don't look at me like that, when the time comes, I will be rewarded......
's playful appearance, Jia seems to be stunned.
It's hard to say that Sister Li in Jia Yidao's impression is still so cute.
In addition, because Ji Yanran also helped in the 'Zhou Ji', she also has a relatively good understanding of jadeite and something, so she naturally joined the service group of the 'salesperson' at this time. However, the three of them did not get together together, but had a clear division of labor. Xiao Qian was busy, so she naturally stood in the counter and provided some low-end jade jewelry sales services. And Li Shiyun is dealing with those customers who stand in the aisle, looking at the jade jewelry full of eyes for a while, and don't know how to choose.
The clear and beautiful voice and smart characters spit out from Li Shiyun's mouth one after another, which is so skillful and natural. Even Jia Yidao felt that if he was also a customer, seeing that Xiaoqian was busy here, and it was not his turn to choose his favorite jadeite for the time being, he would be happy to gather around Li Shiyun and listen to her say some jade jewelry on the style, meaning and so on, right?
Occasionally, you can also hear Li Shiyun explain how to identify the texture of jadeite jewelry and other skills.
As for Ji Yanran, her work is relatively the easiest among the three. Just help stand on the side of the best jadeite, serve some high-end customers, if someone wants to buy the best jadeite in the display case, if there is any problem, you can ask Ji Yanran first. Moreover, around her, there are a lot of thugs, oh no, at this time, it should be said that it is the 'green, fat, red and thin' specially hired security guards.
Compared with some low-end jadeite jewelry, the superb jadeite displayed on the display stand near the inside of the jadeite store is undoubtedly more attractive. No one who loves jade and jade can resist such a temptation. Don't say it's a customer, you know, even those experts and bosses just now, when they saw these superb jadeite, didn't they also stop here, unwilling to move?
At this time, most of the customers in the onlookers, even if they dream, I am afraid that they dare not guarantee that their generation can come into contact with these superb jadeite, right? Such an opportunity, if there are still people willing to miss it, it can only be said that he doesn't like jadeite.
