Chapter 2 Jade Street

Of course, Xie Bin used to just look at it, and sometimes it felt extravagant to think about it, but now, Xie Bin doesn't think that this dream is far away.

In Xie Bin's plan to settle down, learning a driver's license and buying a car is only one part of it, and the most important one is to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law. A house is a must, he Xie Bin has no advantages to attract girls, if he doesn't even have a house, it is not ordinary difficult to marry a daughter-in-law and start a family. Of course, if conditions permit, Xie Bin will definitely buy a house with a spacious and bright hall, a beautiful environment and convenient transportation, preferably close to the school or something, and it will be convenient for children to go to school in the future, right?

Well, I have to say that Xie Bin's plan is very long-term, and he didn't even have a daughter-in-law, so he began to plan for the child.

Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, the first figure that came to Xie Bin's heart turned out to be Xue Yuying. It seems that Xie Bin's good luck started from knowing Xue Yuying, a big beauty. Xie Bin sometimes couldn't help but mutter, is this Xue Yuying his lucky star? Or is it the legendary Wangfu Xiang? Of course, Xie Bin didn't dare to let Xue Yuying know about this thought, not to mention that Xie Bin has nothing now, even if he gets rich in the future, people may not be willing to marry him.

said that he would get married, and he was not wronged by Xie Bin at all. Xue Yuying's father is the director of the city bureau, and his age should not be too big, maybe he will be able to go to the provincial hall in two years. And Xie Bin is rich, but he is just a businessman with a little money. In today's country, the status of the rich is far less than the power, unless you are a rich person on the rich list.

The candidate for the future daughter-in-law, in addition to Xue Yuying, Xie Bin also thought of Chen Minhan. Although Chen Minhan's work is not likable, judging from the days of contact, people are still very good, but they are not very particular about life, have irregular work and rest, love to eat and fool, and can especially wear makeup. Of course, most of it is because of the needs of work, but Xie Bin still feels a little dissatisfied.

Except for Xue Yuying and Chen Minhan, Xie Bin doesn't know many girls. If you have to count it, Liu Wenqing and Xiao Wang Zi can also be counted. It's just this, Xie Bin didn't even dare to think too much, what about the two little Loli who are still Chiguoguo, it is said that when they reach adulthood, Xie Bin will be in his thirties. Will the gap be too big? Although it is said that playing Lori will be very fulfilling, but the sense of guilt seems to be very strong.

Xie Bin was cranky along the way, and when he arrived in Pingzhou, he was frightened by the scene in front of him. Xie Bin really couldn't have imagined that this jade jade could be so much. In the past, it was always believed that jadeite and jade were relatively precious things and should be relatively rare.

But the scene in front of him broke Xie Bin's cognition.

On the street in front of Xie Bin's eyes, in addition to the densely packed shops that processed and sold jadeite jade, there were piles of jadeite rough stones and bustling crowds.

After so many days of careful study, Xie Bin can at least see that the piles in front of him are not ordinary stones, but rough stones that can cut out jadeite, maybe there is a piece of superb material hidden in that inconspicuous stone waiting for humans to polish it.

Before Xie Bin came, he had a certain amount of mental preparation, but even so, the prosperity and super-large scale here still made Xie Bin a little excited. In Xie Bin's eyes, these stones are not stones, but red banknotes.

Xie Bin even thought about throwing his sleeves and jumping on it, buying two pieces to play with first. However, Li Xiaojun on the side naturally would not be as excited as Xie Bin, a rookie.

Li Xiaojun patted Xie Bin on the shoulder, "Xiao Xie, don't get excited, let's find a place to live first, in case there is no room, it will be troublesome." ”

Xie Bin coughed dryly, "What, Brother Li, I'm not excited." ”

"Cut, look at you like that, you almost swallowed these stones and said you weren't excited," Li Xiaojun pursed his lips, but then laughed again, "But it's not a shame, when I first came to this place, you were like this, hahaha," after saying that, he let out a long sigh, "Speaking of which, how many people who play with stones will stay calm when they first come to this place?" Because it's really shocking. ”

Xie Bin touched his head and smiled and stopped talking, and followed Li Xiaojun to find a hotel near Jade Street to stay.

However, what made Xie Bin feel painful was that this hotel turned out to be a four-star hotel. It is said that Xie Bin has lived in hotels, hotels, and small shops that don't even require ID cards over the years, and even stayed overnight in the open air, but he has never lived in such a high-end hotel.

Xie Bin walked in the spacious and bright hall, and even felt a little nervous and uncomfortable under the eager gaze of several welcoming ladies. However, Xie Bin has been exercising for a long time, and this little scene can still hold up, and he naturally followed behind Li Xiaojun and them.

After putting down the few salutes and washing up hastily, Xie Bin wanted to go straight to the jade street not far away to see it, but thinking that the two might be intimate, Xie Bin still resisted his impulse and sat on the bed watching TV absentmindedly.

But unexpectedly, just ten minutes later, Li Xiaojun knocked on the door, "Xiao Xie, let's go around the street?" ”

Xie Bin likes to listen to this sentence the most, of course, the necessary reserve still has to be maintained, and he laughed and teased: "What, Brother Li, you two don't have a good rest, or do something like that." ”

Li Xiaojun smiled and didn't say anything, Zhang Lu was furious on the side, "Okay, Xie Bin, I thought you were an honest person, I didn't expect you to be a mouthful, when I go back, I have to tell Xue Yuying and let her clean you up." ”

Xie Bin smiled bitterly, eldest sister, I really hope that Xue Yuying will clean me up, but I'm afraid that people will disdain me. I am just good friends with others at most, so why should people care about themselves? "What, sister-in-law, just talk, just talk."

Hearing Xie Bin's title, Zhang Lu frowned and smiled. These two could only be regarded as having some good feelings for each other before, and there was no substantive interaction. But that night, after Li Xiaojun got drunk, he achieved good things with Zhang Lu and the two of them through drinking, and pierced the layer of window paper between the two, and became like ordinary men and women in love.

Li Xiaojun also revealed that the two have already met their parents and are ready to get engaged after a while.

Xie Bin could only smile and congratulate when he heard this, but it was also normal, except for the rapid development of the relationship between the two people, everything else was a match made in heaven.

Needless to say, Li Xiaojun's family has tens of millions of family wealth, and if you count all the property, it is normal to have one or two hundred million. After all, those high-end jewelry and a large amount of inventory are very valuable, just the piece of high-ice floating jade that Xie Bin saw, that is tens of millions of profits.

As for Zhang Lu's family, they are also rich and noble, and they run a large supermarket chain at home, and they are also the industry leaders in the island city, otherwise they would not be able to afford luxury sports cars. What's more, both of them are only children in the family, and the trajectories of the two families are somewhat similar. Zhang Lu's father and Li Xiaojun's father are both self-made, although the industries are different, but these two have heard of each other, so at first sight, they are very satisfied with each other, and soon finalized the marriage.

Looking at the sweet appearance of Li Xiaojun and Zhang Lu, Xie Bin naturally blessed him sincerely, but he still inevitably felt a little bitter in his heart. Li Xiaojun and Zhang Lu, although they have some ability, but if they didn't have their parents, would they live so comfortably?

Therefore, reincarnation is a very technical job. Of course, Xie Bin was only a little emotional, after all, for so many years, he had already spent the days of jealousy of others. If Xie Bin patronized this jealousy and jealousy all day long, he would probably not be the current Xie Bin long ago.

The three of them came to Jade Street not far away. There are quite a few people on the street, in addition to those who open shops, more people who look at stones and some tourists. In any case, it is the leading jadeite distribution center in China, and there will be no shortage of customers even in the off-season. Moreover, in recent years, the reputation of Ping Chau has spread far and wide, and many tour groups and scattered tourists are willing to come here to see it, or spend 35120000 to buy a stone to cut and play, which is also a good experience.

Along the way, Xie Bin saw a lot of tour groups holding flags and visiting with teams, and of course, more people were buyers and sellers in the jadeite business.

Although the middle and low-end jadeite market is not very stable, the domestic market is too large, and there are always some large and small businessmen who rely on continuous buying and selling to maintain their business. In addition, the increase in and decrease of the price of this stone has the greatest impact on the small and medium-sized merchants who hoard goods, not the merchants who do the business of finished products.

In the finished product business, no matter what the price, it must always be paid from the customer. Spend more here, and then ask for more from customers, and if you seize the opportunity, you can also occupy some markets while others are hesitating, which is what Li Xiaojun's family did.

Others are waiting for the price of raw materials to drop, but Li Xiaojun's Xingyu Jewelry took this opportunity to launch a large number of low-end jade jewelry, and by the time others reacted, it had already occupied a certain share. Although it seems that you are earning less now, with the market, you will only earn more in the future.

Of course, this is just the opinion of one family, as for what others think, it depends on the environment in which each person is located, their own ability and funds, and so on. A plan can only be a plan, and when it is not realized, everything is empty. Li Xiaojun's plan looks very good, but if the customer doesn't buy it, no matter how good your plan is, it's useless, right? Just like last year's Spring Festival, the major jewelers are ready to hoard a large number of products, eyeing the market and fighting to seize the market, but as a result, customers are unwilling to spend money, these large and small businessmen not only did not make money, but took advantage of the advertising and public relations counter-costs are innumerable, and thus eliminated a group of small businessmen who are not very strong.

Looking at the stones placed on the street, Li Xiaojun smiled and persuaded Xie Bin: "Don't look at these, these are all very resistant goods, mainly for those tourists and small businessmen who make some difference in price, there will not be too many good things." We usually go directly to the warehouses of the wool merchants to pick up the goods. ”

Xie Bin naturally knows that good goods will not be placed on the street like a stall, not that the stones on the street are all slag, but that the overall quality is relatively poor, and it is very troublesome to pick one by one. And those in the private warehouses are naturally different, and those that are worthy of their collection naturally have a certain performance, but Xie Bin asked with some worry: "Brother Li, I'm afraid we can't afford to play with this good product, right?" ”

Xie Bin's question is very realistic, it's not that there are no good things, I'm afraid you can't afford to bid. Although the current market is unstable, high-grade jadeite is very strong. The reason is simple, scarce is expensive. The more jadeite ore is cultivated, the less it is, and the high-grade material is even more indispensable, and according to this trend, the high-grade material will even rise more and more. If high-end materials want to depreciate, unless one day, people all over the world don't like to play jadeite.

Li Xiaojun explained with a smile: "In fact, the price of jadeite wool is not as exaggerated as you think, especially the all-gambling materials, many of the prices are not high, a kilogram of a few hundred yuan is considered ordinary, and the better ones are thousands of yuan, as for those that are tens of thousands of yuan at every turn, they are performing very well." Those materials that perform very well are generally sent to the trade fair, and it is rare to sell them in private like this. ”

Xie Bin thought about it, but he was still a little depressed. With more than 300,000 yuan, he can almost buy a house, but here, he can only buy two stones with very average performance. However, since I came this time, I won't go home empty-handed. Xie Bin doesn't have a lot of money, but he has a lot of time, even if he picks one by one on this street, Xie Bin has to pick out a piece of high-quality and inexpensive material. Xie Bin didn't believe it, there was no piece of such a big jade street that met his Xie Bin's requirements.

The three of them walked all the way and watched all the way, and it took more than half an hour to walk from one end to the other. Mainly Li Xiaojun led the way, Xie Bin looked at the stones, and Zhang Lu looked at other accessories and other gadgets. Li Xiaojun came this time, nominally to get some stones to go back, but in fact, he mainly came to explore the market, otherwise he would not have brought his consultant with him.

In other words, although Li Xiaojun understands some, he is limited to some basic knowledge. It's okay to play, but if you buy wool for his store, he doesn't have that eyesight. Li Xiaojun's level is higher than Xie Bin, but the high level is limited, it is estimated that his experience is richer than Xie Bin's, and his vision is higher.

Walking and stopping, walking to the door of a shop at the end of the street, Li Xiaojun stopped and said to Xie Bin: "Xiao Xie, after you go in, just watch and listen more, don't be in a hurry to ask the price if you see any materials, and then talk slowly after it is confirmed." ”

Xie Bin nodded, he still knows this truth, no matter what kind of business he does, this bargaining skill will not change, it is nothing more than "asking for a price to sit on the ground and pay back", mainly to test the psychology and means of buyers and sellers. When Xie Bin was setting up a stall, he met those experts, and he had to fight for a while with their own means. Xie Bin didn't dare to say how much advantage he could get, but he would definitely not suffer a big loss, and Xie Bin still had a little confidence in this.

The faΓ§ade of this store is not big, it looks no different from other shops, the sign hanging on the door reads "jade and jade for sale processing", and there are also a bunch of large and small wool materials at the door, most of which are all gambling materials, and there are also a few pieces that have been opened through the window and cut.

Li Xiaojun entered the store directly, a woman in her thirties was sitting at the door, and when she saw Li Xiaojun coming in, she stood up with a smile, "Xiao Li, I haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit." ”

Li Xiaojun smiled: "Sister-in-law, why are you looking at the store again?" What about Brother Liu? I'm not afraid that you will be abducted by someone who leads the store. ”

"you, make fun of me when you come," it seems that Li Xiaojun has a very good relationship with the proprietress's family, the proprietress who looks quite beautiful and dresses very fashionably glared at Li Xiaojun with a smile, and then asked Zhang Lu and Xie Bin: "This is your friend?" ”

"Well, this is my girlfriend Zhang Lu, and this is my little brother Xie Bin, come here to open your eyes," Li Xiaojun pointed to Zhang Lu and introduced to Xie Bin.

Xie Bin hurriedly opened his mouth and saluted, "Hello, sister-in-law!" ”

The proprietress glanced at Xie Bin with a smile, "It turned out to be Xiao Xie, yes, it looks more pleasing to the eye than Xiao Li, giggles, hurry up and come in and sit." ”

Li Xiaojun didn't mind the proprietress either, nodded at Xie Bin, and followed in.

The store is not very large, except for a not very large counter, there is a coffee table, a few sandals. There are some jadeite products on the counter that look good, at least they are green. Xie Bin glanced at it and felt very good, especially a few Buddha pendants of oil and green seeds, which looked very cute.

Xie Bin can know the jewelry of the oil green seed, or because he has prescribed a piece of oil green seed material, and he is more familiar with the oil green seed. Besides, the oil green species is also very recognizable. Because the material of the oil green seed is generally green, it is good, but the bottom is almost opaque, and it looks like there is a layer of oily gloss, and after it is made into a finished product, the condition is still very good.

A few pendants of oil green seeds on the counter look very good, and if they are placed on a special counter and the special lights shine, they may be sold as high-end goods.

In addition to the material of the oil green seed, the remaining few pieces, although also green, look very delicate, but with a considerable part of white cotton or variegated. Xie Bin's Buddha's feet are not held in vain these days, and some basic things can still be seen. The quality of these jewelry is not too good, and it is placed in a jewelry store, that is, it is a low-to-mid-range product, but the carving is very good.

Xie Bin was born in carving, although he has never played jade carving, but the reason is the same. The quality of these small objects is not very good, but they are very delicate and hand-carved. The objects are not very creative, and the design and layout are not unusual, but the overall work is very good, and the knife work is very smooth, and it can be seen that the author has a very solid foundation and a lot of experience. And these objects are also very delicately polished, and they are also hand-polished, presumably these objects are placed here to attract business. When he thought of a business on behalf of the door number, Xie Bin had some understanding.

In recent years, machine carving has become popular, especially in the jade industry, and almost all of these low-end materials are machine-carved. Because the labor cost has risen very much in the past two years, according to Li Xiaojun, the average carver will cost two or three hundred for an item, and the level is slightly higher for four or five hundred, or higher. As for those famous carving masters, if the material is not good, people will not pay attention to you.

And the quality of a work, the carving process also accounts for a very important part. Just like these small objects here, the materials are very ordinary, and even most of them are the lowest-grade materials, but after careful carving, the plain white adds three points of color, which looks more charming than ordinary machine carving, and naturally attracts people's attention.

Xie Bin stood in front of the counter and looked at it for a while before sitting on the chair.

Seeing Xie Bin's actions, the proprietress asked with a smile, "Xiao Xie, how is it?" Buy two to play with? ”

Xie Bin smiled, "Don't, I'm a rookie, sister-in-law, don't fool me, where is the big customer," he said, pointing at Li Xiaojun. Don't look at Xie Bin and don't say anything, but at first sight, you know that this smiling proprietress who looks delicate is not a good master.

When Xie Bin first entered the door, the proprietress glanced at him lightly, looking like watery eyes, I am afraid that Xie Bin had already touched the bottom of Xie Bin. Because this look is exactly the same as when Xie Bin looks at others.

Xie Bin himself looks at others like this every day, and now he is suddenly being looked at by others with the same eyes, and he feels a little funny in his heart.
