Chapter 323: Big Move
In addition, the piece of glass blue water jadeite that was traded by Liu Yufei also made Jia Yidao a little itchy when he thinks about it now. If there is another piece of blue water jadeite that can appear in the "green, fat, red and thin" jade store, the color of the best jadeite jewelry owned by Jia Rudao will undoubtedly be one more!
Just thinking about it, the mobile phone in his pocket rang unscrupulously. Jia Yidao took it out and saw that it was Wang Biao calling, picked it up immediately, and asked, "Brother Wang, call me at this time, is there something wrong?"
You must know that under normal circumstances, most of the calls between Jia Nidao and Wang Biao are in the evening time period!
"Does my brother have to have something to do when he looks for you?" Wang Biao said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "I can't just talk to you or something?"
"Of course it's okay to chat. Jia Rudao replied, "However, if you call at night, I can still believe that you are looking for me to chat, what ...... now" Jia Rudao smiled and waited for Wang Biao's answer.
"You're getting more and more savvy, boy. Wang Biao muttered indignantly, and then said very seriously, "I have received the Guanyin pendant of the glass imperial green jade that you sent the day before yesterday." β
"Really?" Jia Rudao was overjoyed, blurted out, and asked, "After Brother Wang saw it, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied?" Wang Biao said, "not only satisfied." When I first received it, the buyer was sitting in my reception room. Immediately, the two of us went to sign for the goods together, and opened it on the spot. There's nothing to say about that texture. That customer is very satisfied. He also told me to thank you a lot......"
"Hehe......" Listening to Wang Biao talking incoherently over there, Jia Yidao's heart can be said to be very happy. It is really a pleasure for a work carved by himself to be liked, but Wang Biao said that he only mentioned the texture of the jade Guanyin pendant, and did not mention the carving of the jade pendant. This made Jia Yidao a little strange after being happy.
"Brother Wang, don't you even look at it yourself, so you gave it to that customer?" Jia Rudao asked.
"I saw it, why didn't I see it. Wang Biao said with a big grin, and then, it seemed that there was a strangeness in Jia Yidao's questioning words, and then he suddenly said, "Xiao Jia, look, I just wanted to ask you here, who carved that jade Guanyin pendant? I can tell you, for such carving skills, it is really excellent." Don't say that the customer likes it very much, it's me, I like it all tightly. I can't say, if I have any jadeite jewelry that I need in the future, I will also trouble your carver over there......"
"It's good to like it, it's good to like it. Jia Rudao replied with a smile.
"By the way, Xiao Jia, you haven't told me yet, where did you find that carving master? Wang Biao said with a smile, "Presumably you have found a master this time, right?" However, speaking of which, I have also carefully pondered this jade Guanyin pendant, especially the carving craftsmanship on it. At first glance, I feel that the craftsmanship of this master is quite jerky, and the carving in some places is obviously not enough to lubricate some of it, but if you look closely, you feel that such carving skills are simply a must. If all the jade jewelry in your jade shop is carved like this, not to mention in the coastal area, even in the whole country, it is estimated that it will soon become famous. β
"That, Brother Wang, let me tell you some news, don't be surprised. Jia Rudao said with a smile.
"Surprised?" The excitement on Wang Biao's side had not yet passed, and he couldn't help but say with a smile, "Say, can you tell me the good news above and surprise me? That client is ready to work with you for a long time. I've sent an email to your mailbox with his specific situation. There's information about his family history, so you need to think a little more. It's a big customer...... However, I think you kid will be able to accept it, as long as you entertain the carver you found. β
"Brother Wang, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of that master carver. Jia Rudao smiled bitterly and said, "Because, this glass imperial green jade Guanyin pendant was carved by myself." β
"The carving master is the faΓ§ade of a jadeite company, you can take care of it, it is naturally the best, and I am relieved. Wang Biao first said very politely, and then, after carefully pondering the taste, he was very surprised and said: "What? Xiao Jia, you said that the jade Guanyin was carved by yourself? When will you still carve jade jewelry?"
A series of questions, Jia Rudao almost had no gap to answer.
Moreover, Wang Biao's voice is getting louder and louder, and he is getting more and more excited. As a last resort, Jia Rudao even moved his mobile phone far away from his ears, and he could still hear what Wang Biao was saying very clearly. Fortunately, at this time, Jia Rudao had already parked the car on the side of the road. Otherwise, Jia Rudao pondered, maybe, just because Wang Biao was shocked, what kind of car accident could be caused.
Xu is Jia seems to have been slow to answer, Wang Biao over there also realized his excitement, pressed the doubt in his heart, his voice was much softer, and asked: "Xiao Jia, you kid is still listening, you have to explain to me clearly, what did you mean by what you just said." β
"Brother Wang, I'm still listening. Jia Rudao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I made it very clear just now." The jade Guanyin pendant is really carved by myself. Even you just said, the jade Guanyin pendant, at first glance, the craftsmanship is very jerky, obviously a novice carving. β
"When you say that, it makes sense. Wang Biao made a "tsk" voice and said, "However, that kind of special skill can't deceive people." I've been in the Jade line for most of my life, and I still have this bit of eyesight, what kind of method do you kid use?"
"Well, I'm not going to tell you how to do it. Hehe......" Jia Nidao said with a smile, Xu was stunned when he noticed Wang Biao on the other end of the phone, and Jia Nidao explained, "Actually, even I can't explain it very well, what is going on." Moreover, there is no way to teach people this method. Otherwise, I would have taught my carvers a long time ago and asked them to carve according to this look, so that I don't have to worry that my own jadeite shop that I am about to open will not be famous in a short time. β
"That's right. Wang Biao nodded approvingly. As for Jia Yidao's explanation, Wang Biao would not believe that such carving skills could not teach people. It's just that in any industry, there are some special skills that will not be easily shown. Wang Biao naturally won't be on this, and he will be entangled endlessly. "Okay, I won't talk to you on the phone, you can go on your own first, anyway, in a few days, I will go to Linhai." When the time comes, you'll need to be entertained. Otherwise, I won't introduce you to two or three major customers. β
"That's natural. Jia Rudao said. Don't introduce such customers to Wang Biao to himself, just because of the friendship with Wang Biao, Jia Rudao will also entertain Wang Biao well, "But, Brother Wang, how is our piece of blue water jade?"
"Blue water jade?" Wang Biao said, "I don't know the specifics, but the designers on my side have already started to design." The general situation is that it is ready to be carved into a large ornament, what do you think?" Wang Biao knew that Jia Yidao would not easily ask about the blue water jade.
"On my side, during the National Day, just a day or two after the opening of my jade shop, I was going to attend a jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital. Jia Nidao thought about it and said, it was precisely because after Wang Biao called, Jia Nidao thought of the blue water jade, so he asked such a question. "I'm thinking, if you can catch up with the time, you can bring the ornament carved out of the blue water jadeite with you, so that I can kill all sides at the jewelry exhibition and earn a little fame!"
"You kid, you've got a good plan. Wang Biao was happy, and he already understood Jia Yidao's plan, and said, "However, the reason why this piece of blue water jadeite can be auctioned is also your own credit, and you have the most money, so naturally you have the final say." I'll go to the factory later to see what's going on. If I can catch up, I'll take it with me. β
"Okay!" Jia Rudao said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wang." β
"Look at what you said, I'm afraid you're eager to trouble me, right?" Wang Biao muttered and hung up the phone.
And Jia Rudao also hung up the phone. I restarted the car and drove all the way to the storage room. The security guard at the door took a look and saw that it was Jia Nidao's car, and Jia Nidao himself was driving in the car, so naturally he didn't come out to stop it. Otherwise, the electronic door installed in front of the gate still has some effect.
In the factory building on the first floor, I said hello to Xu Zhiguo and a few other people, and asked about the specific number of jade jewelry in the storage room. For example, jade bracelets of various qualities, jade pendants of various gadgets, and various exquisite jade ornaments, etc., Jia Yidao is not very clear.
Although, in the safe on the second floor, you can completely view all the jade jewelry and some valuable jade materials, but with such a large amount, if Jia Rudao goes to check them one by one, it will be a waste of time, not to mention for the time being, it is not very convenient.
As for asking Xu Zhiguo, Jia Rudao can understand as quickly as possible what kind of jade jewelry can be obtained with the opening of the jade store.
"Let's continue to work overtime for a few days, hard work. In the end, Jia Rudao patted Xu Zhiguo on the shoulder and said, "After the opening period, I will give everyone a few days off! β
"Yay!" Xu Zhiguo and the others naturally clenched their fists and applauded.
"Don't be too happy too early, if there is any leakage in the jade jewelry when it opens, I want you to ask. Jia Rudao said to Xu Zhiguo with a serious face.
"No problem, boss, you can rest assured, it's on me. Xu Zhiguo patted his chest and said, "In the past few days here, it can be regarded as the most dedicated place for my work." β
"Huh. Jia Rudao knew that what Xu Zhiguo was talking about was opening up some rights to the carver.
For example, when encountering some low-grade jadeite materials, Jia Rudao authorized Xu Zhiguo and others to carve them completely according to their own preferences. Of course, the premise is to make the jade jewelry in Jia Yidao's store diverse. If Xu Zhiguo likes to carve the jade pendant of the monkey stealing the peach, and when he encounters all the jade materials that can claim for himself, he carves the jade pendant of the monkey stealing the peach, then Jia Rudao can only directly face a bunch of monkeys and cry.
As long as it is properly distributed, Jia Rudao doesn't care much about such small rights.
To put it bluntly, the carving of jadeite jewelry, of course, most bosses will like to carve out piles of jadeite bracelets, jadeite rings and other classic styles. However, there is no doubt that this kind of carving is also the most draining of a carver's creativity. On the contrary, it is better to let the carver under his command swing freely, which is cost-effective.
What's more, several carving masters under Jia Rudao are all young people.
Among all the jadeite treasures that have been handed down, there must be the best jadeite bracelets, but that is also because of the texture of the jadeite itself. A jadeite carver, if you want to become famous, will definitely not rely on carving jadeite bracelets. Therefore, for a young carver, being able to carve some large-scale jadeite ornaments often can exercise their ability and give them the opportunity to display their talents when they have the opportunity to encounter the best large-scale jadeite materials.
However, a well-known carver like Mr. Li in Jieyang does not need any special jadeite materials and special jadeite ornaments to prove himself.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, here in the factory, have you cut out any excellent jadeite materials recently?" Just about to go up to the second floor to check some jadeite rough, Jia Rudao thought that in the past few days, he had not been to the factory, and he didn't know how many jadeite rough stones Xu Zhiguo and others had cut. I couldn't help but ask, "There shouldn't be much left of the selected jade rough that can be cut, right?"
"Boss, about two-thirds of the jadeite rough that can be cut has been cut out by us. The best jadeite material, but there is nothing special about it. Xu Zhiguo thought about it and said, anyway, the jadeite materials that Xu Zhiguo and others can cut directly are all ordinary jadeite roughs. Like last time in Uncle Zhou Fugui's factory, it is absolutely rare to cut out the glass imperial green jadeite from the waste. You can't hope for something like this, every day, right?
"However, there are a lot of mid-range jade materials. Xu Zhiguo also pointed to the place near the east side of the first floor and said: "Some of the things that we think are of high value, or the shape of the jadeite material is more peculiar, and a few of us are more controversial about the things to be carved, and they are temporarily placed over there." β
"That's just that?" Jia Rudao glanced at it from a distance, and there were not many jade materials over there.
"These are all cut out this morning. Xu Zhiguo said with a smile, "A few days ago, they were all placed on the second floor." "Otherwise, just put the cut jade material in the factory on the first floor so openly, even if there are a lot of security guards around, Xu Zhiguo will not be at ease.
Every afternoon before getting off work, they would sort out their things and save everything valuable to the second floor.
Jia Rudao nodded and said, "Then let's do this first, you continue to cut some rough stones in the past few days." Anyway, it's all for you to cut. As for those materials that can't be carved well for the time being, we will put them first, and after the opening, we will have time to discuss. β
In this regard, Jia Yidao does not have any special vision. Even Xu Zhiguo and several people have controversial places, although Jia Rudao can decide who to listen to with a word. However, in this way, it is good to make the right choice, if there is a problem in the carving after the decision, it will destroy the previous harmonious relationship between Jia Rudao and Xu Zhiguo, not to mention, there will be a lot of losses.
For Jia Yidao, this is very much more than worth the loss.
Therefore, in the face of the controversial jadeite materials of several carving masters, Jia Rudao also felt a little respectful. For the time being, just stay first, it doesn't matter, anyway, Jia seems to be not short of such a few pieces of jade material.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, after the opening, that is, in two or three days, I am going to go to the provincial capital to participate in a jewelry exhibition. Jia Rudao said, "Do you have any suggestions?"
"Really?" Xu Zhiguo said, "Boss, in the past, there was also such a jewelry exhibition in Jieyang. Every jadeite shop and company will go to participate and bring out their own collection of superb jadeite ornaments to ......"
"Oh, so you're quite experienced?" Jia asked with a smile.
"I don't have any experience. Xu Zhiguo said modestly, "It's just that I've been to see it a few times." Most of the jadeite jewelry is our more common style, and the difference in each display position is the difference in the quality of jadeite. However, occasionally there are some eye-catching accessories that can attract a lot of attention......"
Subsequently, at the request of Jia Nidao, Xu Zhiguo even told Jia Nidao what he saw and heard at the jewelry exhibition in Jieyang, which also made Jia Nidao's heart feel a little more confident. However, Jia Nidao also knows that these are all imaginary, and the most important thing is to see what kind of display Jia Nidao can come up with.
If Jia Nidao's display table is all decorations of the same level as blood jade bracelets, not to mention the jewelry exhibition in the provincial capital, it is from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Jia Nidao will not have the slightest timidity!
"Okay, Xiao Xu, you can help design some of the styles of jade jewelry that were more outstanding in previous jewelry shows, and it is best to have some innovation. Speaking of this, Jia Rudao also laughed softly.
If it is an innovative style of jadeite ornament, if it is so easy to design, where is it the turn to get a jadeite carver like Xu Zhiguo who is born in carving to design?
Seeing the helplessness in Xu Zhiguo's eyes, Jia Rudao didn't care, and then said: "Even if we can't innovate, we can learn and learn from other people, right?"
Anyway, in terms of the style of jadeite jewelry, as long as someone can carve it, most jadeite companies can imitate it, which is nothing more than the craftsmanship is not in place, which is also the unspoken rule of the jadeite line.
"As for the object of design, you should first select a part of the best jadeite materials and see if you can make a few decorations for the exhibition. Jia Rudao smiled slightly and said, "As for me, I will also go to the second floor to go around, select some jade rough stones with good performance, and cut them out, which is estimated to make our jadeite materials more abundant." β
"Boss, our best jade material is quite a lot. Xu Zhiguo said.
"Who would dislike having too many good things for themselves?" Jia Rudao said jokingly, and suddenly, a few carving masters who were still working on the side also laughed "hehe". However, in their hearts, they will also feel that Jia Nidao already has the best red jade in his hands: blood jade bracelet.
The best green jadeite: glass imperial green, glass bright green......
The best yellow jadeite: peerless chanterelle.
The best colorful jadeite: the spring ribbon color of the glass species, the three-color (Fu Lu Shou) of the ice species, and the four-color jadeiteγ......
It is nothing more than that in terms of purple jadeite, there are a lot of ordinary purple jadeite materials, but compared with other colors of the best jadeite, it is a lack of glass bright purple jadeite materials, but this is also something that can be encountered but not sought. If an ordinary jadeite company, among so many excellent materials, can have one or two of them, it is already secretly smiling, at this time, Jia Rudao actually wants to cut out some excellent jadeite materials, I don't know if it is greedy, or Jia Nidao has such confidence?
