Chapter 42: Jade
Zhao Qi had already thought of the countermeasures this time before he came, and he couldn't buy jade like he had just bought medicine. After all, for a valuable product like jade, if parents don't come, it would be too unreliable to let a child buy it.
"I'll talk to your boss about business and call him over." As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Qi said to a young man at the counter with an old-fashioned face.
This young man is also his first day of work today, and a morning has passed, and there are quite a few people who come in to see, basically they all ask the price and leave, and some have not even asked the price.
The first customer in the afternoon, that is, Zhao Qi, was going to talk to the boss about "big business" as soon as he came. The subject was still a very sincere child, and the young salesman looked a little confused.
"I talked to your boss about business, didn't you understand?" After saying it again in an accentuated tone, Zhao Qi stopped speaking, and sat on the chair next to him and closed his eyes.
After a while, a fat old man in his sixties walked out of the back room under the leadership of the young man who felt just now.
"Kid, I heard you're looking for me?" Lao Wang also looked at the child in front of him curiously. I was a little confused by his sudden visit.
"It's inconvenient to talk here, don't you have a living room here?" Zhao Qi glanced around and said to the fat old man in front of him.
"Hehe, okay, then the kid will come in with me." Although he didn't know what was going on with the child in front of him, Old Man Wang still happily introduced Zhao Qi into the living room inside.
"Okay kid, just talk about something, there's no one else here."
"I'm going to sell jade." Getting straight to the point is Zhao Qi's strategy this time.
"Children, if you want to buy jade, you can choose at will." Old man Wang asked suspiciously.
Zhao Qi didn't talk nonsense, took out fifty or sixty thousand yuan from the bag he carried at random, and stacked them on the table.
"The jade I want to buy is not those jade products outside, but jade plates, jade bottles, and raw jade."
From the moment Zhao Qi took out the money, Old Man Wang was a little sluggish, not for the money on the table. Although fifty or sixty thousand is a lot, it will not let Old Man Wang be like this, but the person who took out the money is only a seven or eight-year-old child, which is a little weird. Are today's children so rich?
"Eh, kid, are you buying jade for your family? Or do you want to buy jade yourself? Do you need to discuss it with someone in the family? Lao Wang was worried that the child in front of him had stolen the money from the family to buy jade, although he didn't know what he was buying so much jade for, but it was better to ask.
"Hehe, how did the money come from is my problem, what to buy jade for is also my problem, as for your question, there is only one, do you sell it or not? Don't be foolish about anything else. Zhao Qi saw the worry of the fat old man in front of him at a glance, and he didn't break it, and directly asked if he wanted to do this business.
After listening to Zhao Qi's words, Old Man Wang thought for a while, then raised his head and smiled.
"If your surname is Wang, just call me Lao Wang, what do you call your little brother?"
As soon as Old Man Wang's words came out, Zhao Qi knew that this was done. The title has changed from a child to a little brother, which shows that the fat old man in front of him put Zhao Qi in the position of a guest, rather than seeing him as a child.
"Just call me Xiao Qi."
"Then Xiao Qi doesn't know how much jade you want to buy, and what kind of standard does it have?" Now that Zhao Qi has been positioned as a customer in the store, Lao Wang has also recovered his shrewdness as a businessman.
"As I said earlier, I need three kinds of jade plates, jade bottles and raw jade. Jade brand, you should have a semi-finished product that has not been processed, take it to me and show it, and I will choose again. The jade bottle needs to be ten centimeters high and about six centimeters wide at the bottom. As for the original jade, it goes without saying. ”
"Okay, I'll take the jade plate over to you first, you can pick it." After speaking, Lao Wang walked out of the door and explained a few words to a guy outside the door.
Soon, several jade plates of different specifications were placed in front of Zhao Qi one by one, and Zhao Qi also picked them up and looked at them carefully.
The materials of several pieces of jade are basically of the same grade, and the difference is only the size of the specification.
"Boss Wang, I need this jade plate." Zhao Qi picked up a jade plaque on the table that was about six centimeters long, about four centimeters wide, and about half a centimeter thick, and said to Old Man Wang.
This jade plate is a little big compared to other jade cards, but it is really just right for Zhao Qi. It can just withstand the impact of the aura of most formations, but it is not inconvenient to carry it because of the wife.
"Yes, then I don't know how much you need little brother?"
Zhao Qi pondered for a while and then reported a set of numbers.
"This kind of jade plate will give me a hundred yuan for the time being, ten yuan for the jade bottle, and ten catties for the original jade."
As soon as Zhao Qi's words came out, Rao is old Wang, who had seen a lot of scenes, was also frightened. Who buys jade by the pound?
"This ...... Brother. You want too much, we don't have that many goods here for the time being, and besides, this jade bottle also needs time to make. Lao Wang said to Zhao Qi with a difficult face, but Zhao Qi had already prepared for this.
"Don't worry, you prepare first. I'm going to go out of town in a few days, so I should be ready when I come back, right? "I will go to the provincial capital with Zhao Mu the day after tomorrow, and I expect to stay there for two or three days, and it will take at least five days to come back.
"No problem, it only takes three days and I can have everything ready."
"Okay, let's talk about the price now."
Finally talking about the price, Lao Wang was also in good spirits, and after carefully considering it for a while, he reported the price to Zhao Qi.
"Little brother, the jade plate is priced at two hundred yuan per piece, the jade bottle is one thousand yuan, and as for the final rough stone, ten catties of raw jade, one hundred thousand yuan. The material is the same as the jade bottle, do you see if there is a problem? Cautiously reporting a number, Old Man Wang looked at Zhao Qi who was silent with some nervousness.
"Okay, at this price, this is a deposit of 20,000 yuan. I'll come over to pick up the goods in a few days, but Boss Wang, I want to remind you. The goods you gave me can't be broken like this piece of jade. Zhao Qi, who didn't speak for a long time, finally nodded, and Boss Wang, who was a little apprehensive, was stunned by Zhao Qi's actions before he could breathe.
While speaking, Zhao Qi first took out 20,000 yuan of the money on the table and handed it to Old Man Wang, then picked up a jade plaque on the table, and gently rubbed it into powder with his left hand, seemingly casually.
The jade is quite brittle, and it is basically finished after a fall, but it is only brittle, not soft.
Even jade can be crushed by hand, what will happen to that person?
