Chapter 122: Selling Buddha Beads

Looking at Xu Fang's sale, everyone thought that the conditions were too poor Xu Fang was not easy to say, and they were mentally prepared one by one.

Forget it, when you come out to work, you still think about what to do so much, and it's good to find a job with food and accommodation!

When they arrived, Xu Fang led everyone towards the workers' dormitory.

When they saw the dormitory, their eyes lit up. Although it is not a building, the simple partition room is also square and beautiful.

When I went in, I saw that the sixteen-square-meter dormitory had two bunk beds, as well as wardrobes, tables and chairs, mosquito coils, fans, wiring boards, and fast heating. The place is spacious, the daily necessities are complete, and the conditions I expected are more than a hundred times better.

"Boss, are these where we live?" Zhao Daquan asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is a bathroom at the end of the dormitory, and the toilet is at the back of the house, and there is a place for workers to eat, and there will be a notice when they eat. You pack up, come with me to the beach later, get used to the workflow, and start work tomorrow. ”

With such good accommodation conditions, the eight people were very excited and respected Xu Fang more and more. Xu Fang distributed the eight diving suits he bought to a few people, and then walked towards the beach with the eight people.

Scallop fishing is very simple, and a few people go to the sea to catch it for a while, and they are familiar with the process. The scallops are not moving in the sea, even a fool can pick them up, and such an easy job surprised several people. This is much more comfortable and simple than laying bricks and twisting steel bars.

After getting acquainted, Xu asked a few people to go back to rest.

……

The place where the workers eat is very simple, the bottom of the shed for shelter from the rain, a stove, two large pots, and the cook prepares the food here.

Listening to the sound of shouting for dinner, the newcomer Zhao Daquan and the eight rushed there.

They were all countrymen, and they had a lot of common topics, and soon the eight of them were integrated into these people.

Hearing that Yang Chao was also a newcomer, Zhao Daquan asked: "Brother Chao, ask privately, is the daily salary here reliable?"

Yang Chao smiled, the mood of these eight people, the same as he was at the beginning, said seriously: "Reliable, Boss Xu is really a good person, what we live and eat is many times better than working outside, the scallops caught every day will be settled after weighing, we have been here for a week, and we have never been in arrears." ”

"Then we can rest assured, we are scared of the black-hearted boss outside. Zhao Daquan said with emotion.

"Boss Xu didn't tell you, did he? There are bonuses in addition to the normal settlement. Yang Chao said with a smile.

Zhao Daquan waved his hand and pouted: "I said, but this is exempt, one hundred and two per day is already very high." Besides, when I went to the construction site in the past, didn't any foreman say, 'Do a good job, there will be a bonus at the end of the year?' Who will receive it in the end?"

"Hey, brother, you don't know that. Every day, we catch scallops, more than 200 catties, and give a reward of five yuan per catty. Yang Chao stretched out five fingers and gestured.

"What?" Zhao Daquan's eyes widened: "If you want to make three hundred catties a day, won't you be able to earn one hundred and seventeen?"

"No, people say to give it, these days have never given less, two catties have not deducted a point, some ** two, are directly counted as a catty. Speaking of Xu Fang, Yang Chao and the four of them were full of gratitude.

Zhao Daquan and the eight of them were already extremely excited in their hearts, if Yang Chao hadn't lied to them, they would have worked hard and would have a much better future than outside!

The next morning, the eight of them got up early, went to the sea to fish after eating. Listening to Yang Chao, they confirmed that they would pay bonuses, and the eight of them worked very hard.

When the weight was weighed at night, the part that exceeded 200 catties was really a bonus according to the catty, which made the eight people excited.

In the next few days, everyone's enthusiasm for scallop fishing was directly raised, and the yield also increased.

……

The sea willow trees that had been fished out of the sea had dried up and turned into a dark and shiny color.

Xu Fang was fine at home, so he simply took the sea willow tree and practiced his carving skills.

The dried sea willow tree has become hard, and ordinary people have to carve it more or less with the help of a machine, but Xu Fang's calf has a lot of strength, and there is true qi in the body, so it is easy to carve.

In half a month, the thirty catties of sea willow trees brought a few days ago were consumed by Xu Fang.

There are also various carvings, including bracelets, pipes, teacups, and some Guanyin, Buddha statues, and other hand-held pieces.

Of course, the most are still beads.

In order to practice carving, the calf began to carve the "ball" with perseverance, and then felt that the carving ball was indeed a bit of a waste, Xu Fang had an idea, began to practice drilling, and finally strung these beads together to form a Buddha bead.

The number of Buddha beads is generally one hundred and eight beads, and there are also fifty-four, twenty-seven, and fourteen beads. And the highest grade, it costs 1,000 and 80 beads.

These Buddha beads add up, how can you get thousands, Xu Fang in order to save trouble, selected 1,000 and 80 beads, and directly strung them together.

When he was dressed, Xu Fang let go of his hand and played. The beads are round and smooth, and if the plate has been on the plate for a long time, it will not be cool to the touch, but will have a warm feeling.

However, one thousand and eighty beads, it seems that the number is a bit much, and Xu Fang has a headache for a while.

The thing is too big, it's useless to keep it yourself, and if you want to sell it, it's generally easier to sell a bracelet with fourteen beads.

The Buddha beads that have been made are obviously unlucky to open them again, and this thing will not rot in your hands, right?

Sell it to whom?

Suddenly, Xu Fang's eyes lit up, and he was too lazy to run out, so he directly opened the chat software and searched for the jewelry group, a jewelry group in southern Fujian Province, because of the large number of people, it ranked first.

I clicked to apply to join, and it didn't take long for me to get through the verification.

There are more than 200 people in the group, most of them are busy, and there are few messages.

Xu Fang took a photo of the Buddha beads from three angles and posted them in the group, with an additional sentence: Is there a need for Buddha beads? The beads are close in size, hand-carved, polished, and drilled, 1080 pieces. The material is sea willow, which is caught in the deep sea.

Not long after the message was sent, there was movement in the group.

"Sea willows? This thing is rare, can you catch it?"

"Liar, huh?"

"Like, there are too few sea willows now, how many of them do you need to make these beads?"

"It takes at least two hundred years for a sea willow tree to grow to a meter high, and it grows a few millimeters every year, and it is very difficult to collect, it is too precious, and if it is really valuable. ”

"But it looks like the real thing, even if it's a fake, it's a bit collectible, and it's not a problem to sell it for a few thousand dollars. ”

"The dried willow tree is hard, and these beads are similar in size, so it's unlikely that they are handmade, right?"

"Is it easy to use such a long bead?" someone asked.

Immediately, an insider gave an answer: "It's inconvenient to use, but one thousand and eighty beads, meaning 108 numbers in each of the ten Dharma realms, are the highest quality." If the beads were real, wealthy people who believed in Buddhism would definitely buy them at a high price. ”

……

Xu Fang stared at the news in the group, mostly questioning the authenticity of the material of the Buddha beads, and was a little speechless for a while.

However, from everyone's discussion, Xu Fang still read everyone's meaning: the sea willow tree is very precious and valuable!

Xu Fang didn't know much about the sea willow tree, and when he saw someone else selling it five years ago, he remembered it by the way, and remembered that the price was not high at that time?

I found a sea willow tree, this sea willow tree is the largest, more than three meters high, and it was also the first one that Xu Fang fished up. took two photos and sent them to the group, Xu Fang added: "It is indeed a genuine sea willow tree, I don't think everyone sells it at an expensive price on the Internet." ”

"Damn! What a big sea willow tree! Dude, you're going to get rich!

"It looks like a sea willow tree!"

"It's an eye-opener, brother, how much are you going to sell this Buddha bead?" asked the price.

Xu Fang replied: "I don't know the market either, it doesn't seem cheap?"

A well-wisher explained to Xu Fang: "It takes at least a few decades for sea willow trees to become mature, the yield is very small, and it is difficult to collect. Most of the ones sold on the market are fakes or imitations, so the prices are lower. This thing was also used by the emperor as a handle, it was a rare treasure in the sea, and the price of the real product was quite high. This bead bracelet, if it is genuine, will cost at least 200,000. ”

Xu Fang was taken aback, after such a calculation, the value of one was close to two hundred!

It's time to catch up with gold!

At this time, the chat software prompted that someone privately messaged him.

Click on the message, and the screen name is Dudu.

Dudu: Handsome guy, the Buddha beads are really made of sea willow trees?

Xu Fang: Hmm.

Dudu: Where do you live?

Xu Fang: Qingyun City.

Dudu: It's a little far, I'm in Baihe City, the old man at home believes in Buddhism, just two days of birthday, it's just right to send a Buddha bead, is it convenient for you to come to Baihe City? I'll reimburse you for the round-trip expenses, ok?

Xu Fang was a little speechless, Baihe City and Qingyun City, there is a city in between, you let me run over, what if I don't buy it?

Besides, this baby is sold on the Internet, isn't it convenient?

"Jingle bell-" A mobile phone ringed, looking at Lin Xiangxue on the caller ID, Xu Fang answered the phone.

"Xiangxue, what's the matter?"

"We gave the battle book to the Shanxiu Hotel in Baihe City before, do you remember? A month is about to pass, and if we don't look for a venue, we won't be able to keep up with the later decoration and publicity. Lin Xiangxue's tone was a little anxious.

"Those who are willing to sell a building in the city center are generally in urgent need of money, and they must pay the full amount, how much liquidity do we have now?" Xu Fang frowned and asked.

"The two hot pot restaurants, plus the two major hotels, have a net profit of nearly 600,000 yuan per day, and the overall profit this month, excluding Zhou Yuna's mortgage, is already more than 10 million. Seven new branches of Xiulan hot pot will open tomorrow, plus our existing industry. If it is operated properly, the net profit can easily exceed one million a day. A few days ago, the government specially commended our company, we now have a good reputation and reputation, and we can fully borrow tens of millions of dollars in the bank, and the funds do not have to worry for the time being. ”

Xu Fang felt at ease and said with a smile: "Okay, I happen to have something, I'll go to Baihe City tomorrow." ”

After seeing Xu Fang's ability, Lin Xiangxue trusted him very much, and said with a smile: "That's okay, you go and take a look first, and contact me at any time if you have any difficulties! ”

"Okay, I'll do my best. ”

hung up the phone and looked at the chat software, Xu Fang replied: Yes, then I will go over tomorrow, I will arrive in the afternoon, how can I contact you?
