Chapter 385: Expansion (Supplement 5.13)

In the next few days, the sales scene in 'green, fat, red and thin', as Jia Yidao expected, is not too far from the opening of the day. It's like Jia Nidao's jade shop, which holds a 'gorgeous jade exhibition' in a small place like Linhai. Every day from morning to night, Xiaoqian became the busiest person, and later, Jia Rudao couldn't bear it anymore, but found Ah San to help watch it together.

In any case, you can't let a girl take full charge of the jade sales of a store, right?

"But, Xiao Jia, seriously, I still really admire you. Ah San said to Jia Nidao while dealing with the customers, "Look at the shops on this side of the antique street, which one is as popular as yours? I'm really looking forward to seeing how many people you'll be able to get in your store by Saturday. ”

"I figured it wouldn't be too much on Saturday. Jia Rudao looked at the flow of people and said, "At least, it won't be much more than today." ”

"Hey, that's right. Ah Sanle said hehehe: "No matter how much it is, it won't fit in your store." ”

"Huh. Jia Rudao smiled faintly, letting Ah San think about it. According to Jia Nidao's expectations, this time can maintain such a large number of people to patronize, although a large part of the composition is because Jia Nidao's shop has a lot of excellent jadeite, with the opening day of the word of mouth spread, these days from other places to come jade lovers, is an endless stream, Jia Nidao can be heard from their accent.

However, as this wave of freshness passes, the flow of people in the store will naturally tend to a flat state. It's not like there are still so many people every day, and on Saturday, although there will be an accumulation of people on this side of the antique street, it is mainly people who belong to the local area. Many of these people have come to visit Jia Yidao's jade shop.

If you pass by the antique street during normal times and see not many people in the jade shop, then it is also a good thing to stop and admire the best jadeite. However, if there are many people on Saturday, then these customers who have seen the best jadeite will naturally not come to join in the fun. After all, Jia Rudao's 'green, fat, red and thin' is a store, and it won't move or anything, and the superb jadeite placed inside looks like this almost every day. When is it not good to come and enjoy it, but to join in the excitement of Saturday?

On the contrary, many of the customers who came here came for the best jadeite such as the 'blood jade bracelet' and the purple-eyed 'zodiac'. Moreover, it is not only limited to the coastal area, there are many people, but from other parts of the province, even from Guangdong and the northeast.

Because it is in accordance with the regulations of the industry, the general best jadeite appears in the place, it is not very allowed to take pictures, unless you buy some jade jewelry in the 'green, fat, red and thin' store, the store will have a specially made collection of superb jadeite pictures to give to you.

However, once the flow of people increases, and in the current years, the tools for shooting are becoming more and more advanced, and they are no longer limited to cameras. For example, when a customer pretended to make a phone call, he had already slapped his 'purple eyes' into his mobile phone, even if Jia Rudao specially told those 'security guards' brought by Lao Yang, it was also a private means that could not stand everyone's 'sneaking'.

So in the end, as long as it wasn't the kind of person who came to take photos openly, Jia Rudao would let them take photos secretly, as long as it wasn't too excessive. In this way, the news that there is a superb jadeite in Jia Yidao's 'green, fat, red and thin' store is undoubtedly more real and more tempting.

There were a lot of customers from other regions who came, which was also expected by Jia Yidao.

However, the sudden appearance of customers from Guangdong and Northeast made Jia Yidao's face smile a little. On the afternoon of the opening day, Liu Yufei and Wang Biao deliberately came to the 'green, fat, red and thin' side to say goodbye to Jia Yidao. It's just that Jia Rudao's original plan that they should each buy a piece of jewelry to help Jia Nidao open his business cheer up, but it didn't come true.

As the saying goes, as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

For jadeite businessmen like Liu Yufei and Wang Biao, general jadeite jewelry, whether in terms of carving technology or the texture of the jadeite itself, is really not very important in their eyes. No, after taking a turn in Jia Rudao's shop, Wang Biao really wanted the 'blood jade bracelet', but Wang Biao was stunned and didn't speak.

With Wang Biao's identity and vision, he naturally understands very well what the significance of this 'blood jade bracelet' is for today's Jia Nidao, especially for 'green, fat, red and thin'. Even if he likes it tightly in his heart, he is not good at bringing it up at this time, but it is those small pendants of glass imperial green that make Wang Biao and Liu Yufei very enjoyable to watch.

"Do you two pick one by one?" Jia said with a smile.

"Okay. Liu Yufei said unrelentingly, "If you don't charge us money as a gift, then I will choose one unceremoniously." As he spoke, he also handed Jia Yidao a big white eye, and Jia Yidao suddenly smiled wryly, very speechless. These imperial green glass jade pendants, don't look big, but they are precious. If you want to say that it is a gift, Jia Rudao is really a little hesitant.

"Okay, teasing you. Liu Yufei patted Jia Yidao's shoulder and said, "But, seriously, Xiao Jia, your things here really make me look at a lot." And I didn't bring so much money here, what do you say?"

"I don't have the money to swipe my card. Jia Rudao will not be fooled by Liu Yufei.

"Okay, count you ruthless!" Liu Yufei gritted his teeth and said, and then, with a finger, he pointed to a jade ornament that Jia Nidao had not expected in advance, but it was reasonable, "I want it, you say, how much is the price, don't tell me, this thing is not for sale." ”

"You're really giving me a problem. Jia Rudao touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "You have seen it, there is no price marked on it, so naturally it is not ready to be sold." ”

"I heard that this thing was carved by yourself?" Wang Biao said meaningfully on the side, "and the carvings in the three 'zodiac signs' should also be the same as this jade ornament, from your hand, right?"

"That's true. Jia Rudao said. The Feichang ornament that the two people in front of them are optimistic about is the one carved by Jia Yidao according to Li Shiyun's figure. When Li Shiyun left, Jia Rudao also had the idea of giving it to Li Shiyun directly.

First, it can be regarded as repaying the debt owed when Jieyang was born. Second, it can be regarded as the reward for Li Shiyun's help in opening the business. However, Li Shiyun temporarily stored it in Jia Rudao's side in the name that this thing can increase the attraction of 'green, fat, red and thin'.

Jia Yidao was naturally happy to agree. Thinking about it carefully, doesn't Li Shiyun mean that she wants Jia Nidao to personally send things to Hangzhou? Or, it is implying that Jia Nidao can go to Hangzhou to find her after being busy!

Thinking of this, Jia Yidao's face couldn't help but feel a little more annoyed, it seemed that after returning from Jieyang, he really hadn't made any special efforts to visit Li Shiyun, right?

However, at this time, for Liu Yufei's proposal, Jia Rudao could only refuse with a wry smile. Even if the price of this item is high, Jia Yidao will not be poor enough to sell it, right?

"However, this thing already has a home. Look, are you picking something else?" Jia Rudao couldn't help but change the topic and said, "Although the jade style on my side is not very representative, there is still nothing to say about the quality." ”

"That's true. After Wang Biao looked at so many jadeite jewelry, he summed up and said, "I have also seen a lot of jadeite shops, and your quality here is top-notch in the industry." Moreover, the price is relatively fair, slightly lower than the ordinary market price. However, Xiao Jia, brother, I'm here, and I also want to remind you. Your price, for you, is naturally a matter of earning more and earning less, I think, with your assets, you will not care too much about this aspect. But no one else thinks so. ”

"Brother Wang means that he is worried about some other jade shops and deliberately came out to make trouble?" Jia Rudao said ponderingly.

"If you make trouble or not, I don't know. Wang Biao said, "Do business, your jade shop business is good, it is inevitable that there will be people red, this kind of thing is the same wherever it is placed." And the way they resist is nothing more than price reduction, promotion, or co-branding, to squeeze the products in your store. ”

"I expected all of this. Jia Nidao nodded and said, when discussing with Ah San, Jia Nidao had not been less worried about the problems of other jade shops, especially in the coastal area, there is also a 'Apocalypse Jewelry', but it is definitely not to be underestimated. "However, I still want to thank Brother Wang for your reminder. ”

"Hehe, what I just said is all on the surface. Wang Biao said with a smile, "Secretly, but we still need to guard against some deliberate troublemakers by some people." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by this?" asked Jia Rudao.

"In this regard, just ask Liu Yufei's little brother. Hehe, he's in the south, and the competition therethere is much bigger than my side in the north. Wang Biao pushed the problem to Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei was not polite, and said directly: "If I open a jade shop on the Linhai side, and if I have a certain foundation, I can't beat you in high-end jade jewelry, and I will start from the low-end jade jewelry and hit the reputation of your jade store!"

"Isn't it?" Jia Rudao pondered, it seems that in his own jade shop, there is no special reputation problem that can be used by others, right?

"Hehe, don't believe me. Liu Yufei said a little insidiously, "Do you think, if I deliberately send someone to your side to receive a jade jewelry, and then, after taking it back, it will be old, or it will simply be faked, in short, it will not show you too many changes in appearance, but in essence, it has been replaced with another thing, and then, if I take it back and ask you to compensate, what do you say?"

"Of course I don't admit it. Jia Rudao said very firmly. In this regard, he is not completely defenseless, such as having photos attached to the sale, leaving the bottom of the ticket, having an appraisal certificate from the provincial capital, etc., just to fish in troubled waters from this aspect for others.

"You don't admit it's your business. Liu Yufeihao said indifferently: "Moreover, I dare to do this, and I don't intend to ask you to admit it, it's just that if a person comes to make trouble, you can not admit it, what if it's ten or eight? Deceived customers to identify the authenticity of the jade jewelry, you say, when the time comes, is it not regardless of whether your store is wronged, at least, on the surface, there are many people will think that the jade jewelry in your store, not all are genuine, right?"

"They dare!" Jia Rudao felt a little tricky about the matter.

"However, Brother Liu, maybe you don't know very well, why did I open my own jade shop on the side of the antique street, right?"

"yes, I can't figure it out. Although there is a partial intersection between people who play jade and people who play antiques, you don't need to open a store directly here. Liu Yufei still doesn't agree with the location of the store here, "It's good to look at it now, there is no airport or train station in this place near the sea, just a bus station." And the location of your jade shop is good, the car stands in the east of the city, and you drive to the west of the city, which is really convenient. ”

After speaking, Liu Yufei also glanced at Jia Yidao, as if he was speechless for such a place.

"Hehe, then, do you know how much strength and interpersonal relationships it takes to open a shop on this side of the antique street?" Jia Yidao couldn't help laughing. Indeed, the traffic situation of the jade shop is indeed not very good, Jia Rudao himself also feels a headache because of this, if you want to talk about the plane, Jia Rudao doesn't want to think about it, and the train, it is estimated that it will be a year before it can be opened.

However, at this time, when Liu Yufei mentioned the possible means of planting dirt and causing trouble in other jade stores, he suddenly felt that opening a jade shop on this side of the antique street was actually a very good choice. At least, no merchant in the Linhai area dares to come to the antique street to stir up the wind and rain, right?

'Antique Street Shop', just by virtue of these five words, is a big signboard!

After briefly explaining to Liu Yufei that the shops on this side of the antique street are basically in a group, Liu Yufei also has to sigh, just like in Jieyang, many of them are family-style industrial chains, there are always some special existences, right?

"And what do you want to buy?" Jia Rudao asked back.

"Come on, don't entertain the two of us with those things that don't have anything special. Liu Yufei shook his head and said: "It's better for you to re-carve a jade work for each of us, no matter what form it is, as long as the material is glass bright green, or imperial green, you can look at it." But, remember, you have to do it yourself! And, remember, you need to have the skills that you have shown above. If not, don't blame us for not paying. ”

"I wondered, did you two discuss this result before you came, and you deliberately entertained me just now, right?" Jia Rudao was a little reminiscing.

"Hehe, if you think so, I don't have a problem with that. Liu Yufei said with a smile, "By the way, Xiao Jia, how many jadeite works are there carved by yourself? ”

"That's it. On my side, I should also have the opportunity to take jade materials and ask Xiao Jia to carve them. Wang Biao responded on the side.

"Do you really think I'm omnipotent?" Jia Rudao muttered angrily, "In the future, I have decided to increase the price of all the jade works carved by myself, no, thirty percent! ”

"I think so!" Unexpectedly, Jia Rudao's casual words provoked Wang Biao's approval of the concept, and said, "Moreover, Xiao Jia, you'd better control the number of your works circulating in the market." ”

"Yes. Not only Wang Biao agreed, Liu Yufei also nodded and said, "Not only in quantity, but also in quality, it must be strictly controlled, you don't carve those jadeite materials with average quality in the future, as long as you get close to high-end jadeite jewelry, such as glass, that is the minimum, as for the color, it is best to be pure." This is not difficult for you, but secondly, you will always have great benefits in the future. Well, what are you looking at me like that?"

Liu Yufei's hand gently stroked in the air, as if he was slapping away Jia Yidao's strange gaze looking at him, and muttered: "I can tell you, I'm not interested in men! In the morning, Brother Wang and I walked around you briefly, and we noticed that the carving of these four jade ornaments was very unusual. I wondered how you could have a master carver of this kind under your hands. As a result, Brother Wang told me that this thing should have been carved by yourself. ”

Jia Rudao thought about it for a while, and then understood. The glass imperial green Guanyin jade pendant that I gave to Wang Biao's customer at one time is the carving method that is perceived by the ability. Immediately, he nodded.

"Therefore, Brother Wang and I wondered at that time whether we could promote your strange carving skills. Liu Yufei pondered and said, "Don't underestimate your carving skills." Brother Wang and I are in the second line of jade, and we can be regarded as having a bit of eyesight, right?

"Then shouldn't I be happy to be the object of praise from the two of you?" Jia said with a smile.

"Whatever you want. Liu Yufei shrugged his shoulders a little speechlessly and said, "Anyway, that's what I told you." This time, you can give me a sample as soon as possible and let me take it back. In this way, it can be regarded as adding a bit of convincing. ”

"That's fine. Jia Rudao is not a person who can't think about it, and he also believes in the character of Liu Yufei and Wang Biao very much. If Jia Rudao wants to carve the jade jewelry required by the two of them as soon as possible on the same day, it is really difficult.

In the carving process of jadeite, although Jia Nidao has a unique ability perception help, there is no way to reach an amazing level in degree, right? What's more, in terms of polishing technology, Jia Nidao has not yet mastered it, and he still needs to rely on Xu Zhiguo's means.

"When I first started studying, I carved a few jadeite pieces. Jia Rudao said, "Although, those pieces of jadeite jewelry, in the texture of the selected materials, there is no way to compare with the best of glass imperial green, but I can still see some traces of my carving." ”

"Hehe, that's it. Wang Biao said, "Anyway, what we mainly care about is your carving technique and the effect of carving." As for whether it is the best jadeite material, it is not a big deal for us connoisseurs, as long as we take a look, we can deduce the appearance after replacing it with the best jadeite material. ”

"Yes. Liu Yufei also responded, and said, "If we want to use it for collection, we naturally need the best jade materials." However, this is used for others to see, and the texture is slightly worse, and it also has the advantage of being a little worse. At least, we don't have to be too careful when we carry it with us, haha......"

This last laugh, while making Jia Yidao a little embarrassed, also felt how relaxed and casual Liu Yufei and Wang Biao's mood was at this time. Originally, Liu Yufei was going to stay and observe the process of Jia Nidao's own carving, in Liu Yufei's words, that is, he still couldn't believe that Jia Rudao could carve jade jewelry with unique effects by himself.

However, seeing the busy scene in 'green, fat, red and thin', Liu Yufei could only temporarily let Jia Yidao go.
