Chapter 236: Jade Upper Hall
Zhang Tianyuan left a piece of the unraveled jadeite, and the rest were all sealed and preserved, ready to be taken to the imperial capital, of course, before he rushed to the imperial capital, he had already sent people to fight the outpost, one was Xu Xu, and the other was a shopkeeper in Shangpu, anyway, it was just a jade shop in advance, and the impact was not great, and Guan's jewelry could not care.
Does a dragon care about the ants around him?
In addition, it was Xu Xu who did this thing, not Zhang Tianyuan himself, so his influence was naturally lower, and he was actually low-key, he didn't want to attract the attention of Guan's Jewelry, nor did he want to attract the attention of Muyi.
Zhang Tianyuan planned to make a few jade ornaments and carvings as gifts before going to the imperial capital.
He has calculated that Xu Xu, Qin Feixue, Ouyang Xiaodan, Li Mingguang, Li Donghong, and Li Jihong, these acquaintances, must bring gifts.
So he left a piece of jadeite with a better texture, and specially planned to make a gift in Xifeng, and then take it to the imperial capital.
You don't have to do everything yourself, Xu Xu's gift he can carve by himself, but for the rest of the people's gifts, find a jewelry shop pù to help make zuò, and you don't need master-level things, otherwise people may not dare to accept it.
For this matter, he also specially drove to Xifeng, met his sister Zhang Xue and brother-in-law Lin Feng first, and confirmed their studies and the progress of Xifeng's local business.
On the whole, they are relatively satisfied, Lin Feng said, they have basically occupied the market share of Xifeng City, and began to enter the nearby second- and third-tier cities, and wait for Shaanzhou to stabilize after dìng. It is necessary to expand the business to first-tier cities such as Shangpu, Imperial Capital, and Nanxun, and even prepare for export.
"Brother. Now there is a shortage of manpower, and I think your school should set up a short-term training course. You can graduate in three months, but in fact, it's enough to know one thing, and we don't need all-rounders. Zhang Xuejian said.
This is really a person who breaks his dreams, Zhang Tianyuan just didn't think about it well enough in the past, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you don't need to know all of them in the production of this kind of folk products, as long as you learn one or two things, it is completely enough. It's like a lot of factory product workers, as long as you know one process, then it's no problem at all, you don't need to know everything at all.
"Okay, you're very good, I'll immediately contact Shangpu to make some changes, in fact, I think it's okay, you can also recruit some apprentices here, the ancient apprenticeship system is not only convenient." And they are also more loyal, you guarantee that they can get jobs after they learn, can they not be happy?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Actually, we've already done it. However, most of them now only bring their relatives to learn, and they refuse to accept it. Zhang Xue smiled bitterly.
"Do more ideological work, we want to be a big enterprise. It's not just Xifeng. Zhang Tianyuan said.
"Well, I got it, brother. We'll figure it out, so you don't have to worry about it. The last time I heard about that stubble, it was really dangerous. Lin Feng nodded, and then said with emotion.
"I'm nothing, you guys continue to be busy, I'm here to Xifeng this time mainly for a little thing, just one person. Zhang Tianyuan didn't want to mention unpleasant things again, so he got up and said.
"Brother Xing, call us if there is anything, we have made a lot of friends these days, as long as we are in Xifeng, there is nothing we can't do. Lin Feng said excitedly.
"There's something I really need you to ask me about. ”
"Say it, brother. ”
"I want to inquire, where is there a jade shop in Xifeng with better carving, the kind that can be OEM. ”
"Okay, brother, you sit down and drink tea first, and I'll ask you right away. Lin Feng nodded and went out.
After a while, Lin Feng came in and said, "Brother, I've already asked, there is an old shop called 'Jade Shangtang' near the Drum Tower, which not only sells nephrite and jadeite jewelry and carving, but is also responsible for OEM, I heard that the master's craftsmanship there is very good." ”
"Okay, just ask, you guys are busy, I'll take a look. Zhang Tianyuan went downstairs and drove to the Drum Tower.
In fact, the bell tower and the drum tower in Xifeng are very close to each other, so under normal circumstances, the bell and drum tower are all said in a row, and it is a pity to visit the drum tower and not visit the bell tower.
Zhang Tianyuan has grown so big, although his home is very close to Xifeng, he has really never visited the Bell and Drum Tower, but the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have been there many times.
Near the Drum Tower, there is an inconspicuous-looking shop, pù, which looks simple and elegant, with three characters "Jade Shangtang" written in cursive on it, and some photos of jade carvings placed outside the door, embedded in glass windows, which look very attractive.
Zhang Tianyuan parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and entered the jade hall with a box containing jade.
Entering the store, the most eye-catching is a jadeite carved Guan master, about a foot high, the whole body is green, although the texture of this jadeite is really not good, but such a jade Guan master, it is also worth a hundred thousand.
This shop is actually not big, much inferior to any of Zhang Tianyuan's shops in Shangpu, and most of the jade carvings and ornaments sold in the shop are mid-to-low-range, but even so, the price of finished jadeite and jade is still very expensive.
Let's put it this way, basically if it doesn't double four or five times, people in the store will say that they can't make money.
It's normal for some things to even multiply more than a dozen times, just like this, when the boss bargains with you, he will also say that he is selling at a loss.
This industry is like this, and it is also very profitable, but one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, there is nothing to say, just like those foreign luxury goods, in fact, the quality may not be able to match its price, but because it is famous, it has more face, so there are many people who buy it.
Now many people in China are getting rich, they are not afraid of spending money, they are afraid of losing face, the same price of domestic goods and imported goods, they will generally choose foreign goods, because of foreign atmosphere, high-end.
And the jewelry industry is exactly what these people have to like, and they are not afraid of your high price, even if you ask for a price. There will also be people who buy it, and the key is whether your stuff is worth buying for him. Will there be face after buying?
This is also the reason why those people dare to spend a lot of money to buy jadeite at the gambling stone conference. Because after processing into finished products, the profits will be greater, and they are not worried about losing money at all.
"Hello sir, this is our brochure, you can take a look at it first, it has the product introduction of our Yushangtang, very detailed. We have always pursued the tenet of 'customer first', and any guest who comes here can order their favorite ornaments and carvings, without being confined to those goods on the counter. A duck-faced waitress walked over. handed Zhang Tianyuan a booklet and said.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't look at the booklet, but looked at the waitress, the standard duck egg face beauty, the beauties of this face shape in recent years have made people look a little numb, mainly because a large number of girls have this face shape after plastic surgery, giving people a feeling of unbelievability, just a little fake.
"Zhang Xiaoyu, we were a family hundreds of years ago. Zhang Tianyuan saw the work card on the waitress's chest with a name on it, so he smiled and said, "That's the case." If you order ornaments and carvings, do you provide the jade from the shop, or do you have the customers provide it themselves?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang. In general, it is we who provide jade, and it is up to the customer to choose the pattern and style. We carry out the production zuò. Zhang Xiaoyu replied.
"But I don't think the jade on your counter is very high-grade. "Zhang Tianyuan has seen a lot of good jade, so of course he is not very interested in those middle-to-lower-grade jade.
Hear this. Zhang Xiaoyu was not convinced, she felt that this person was here to make trouble. She looked down on her in her heart, but with her professionalism, she still kept a smile and said: "Mr. Zhang, the nephrite and jadeite we have here are relatively good in the entire Xifeng City. ”
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "I'll just ask, can you accept the raw materials of the guests here, and then process them? I will pay the processing fee, if it is too troublesome, I can pay double." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu became even more angry, she said: "Although we are open to do business, we will never charge customers double the money, but we really don't have this rule, our processing fee can even be free, but the jade must be selected from our shop." ”
When she said this, Zhang Tianyuan believed it, because processing really can't make a lot of money, unless it is a master's work, otherwise this kind of processing will generally be regarded as an additional service, but it is the sale of finished products, which can make a lot of money.
"Well, that's a shame to bother you. Zhang Tianyuan was a little disappointed, in a huge Xifeng City, it was not easy to find a jade shop that was OEM, but he couldn't use the raw materials he brought.
He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a loud quarrel coming from inside.
"You have to be responsible, you must be responsible, I chose the best material you have here, and asked you to carve a pair of jade phoenixes for me, but you have been delaying again and again, and you have no ability to return the money to me, what to pretend." The voice was very harsh, and Zhang Tianyuan frowned when he heard it.
He heard the man say that the best ingredients here, so he wanted to see what the best ingredients were in this shop, if it was really good, he would simply choose it, anyway, he has money now, and there is no need to be so picky, otherwise it will be troublesome to find a shop pù everywhere.
"Sir, listen to us, the pattern you are talking about is very complicated, and we have to make sure that it is safe, and it will take a little longer. ”
"Can you sue me sooner if you have this trouble? I want to give this thing to my parents as a birthday present, and now their birthday is coming, you still need time to sue me now, what is the matter? Let your person in charge come over and return the money, not only to return the money, but also to compensate, it's just fraud, fraud!"
Zhang Xiaoyu heard the quarrel inside, and when he was about to go in, the person had already walked out, scolding, and shouting to see the person in charge.
In fact, this man is not wrong, this matter is indeed the store pù is suspected of fraud, in order to take the business, he took back all the things he couldn't do, and refused to admit that he couldn't do it, this matter must be investigated, and the shop pù must be very responsible.
"I'm sorry sir, I'm the one in charge here, please take your time if there's anything to do, don't worry. Zhang Xiaoyu walked up and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan was a little surprised, this woman was only about twenty-four years old, and she had actually become the person in charge of such a shop, which was not simple.
He never thought that when he was twenty-five years old, he would already be the CEO of a group with assets of hundreds of millions. (To be continued......)
