Chapter 413: Regaining the Carving Knife
Although the price given by Old Man Xiao had greatly exceeded Jiang Shaoyou's expectations, he still did not rush to agree, but set his sights on Wu Junxian.
Sure enough, after Wu Junxian hesitated slightly, he spoke: "Tell me something from the heart...... Mr. Xiao, the price you gave is already the highest for a piece of jadeite raw materials, if the price is raised again, it is equivalent to squeezing the profits of carving, processing and sales! ”
"If only you understood!" Old Man Xiao squinted his eyes and said, "The jewelry industry is not easy to do these days!" Since you also know that the price has peaked, then simply give me this piece of material. If you give me this material today, my old Xiao will definitely accept your affection, and if you go to Fuzhou back, I invite you to my house to drink my self-brewed old wine, how about it? ”
"I appreciate Old Man Xiao's kindness...... Let's get back to drinking. Now...... Let's talk about this piece of material first! Wu Junxian paused, staring at the high ice jade with bright eyes, smacking his tongue before continuing: "I also know that Old Man Xiao's price is very fair, but ...... As you know, this high-end jade material is not easy to change recently, and many of our branches have begun to run out of stock, so ...... This piece of material, even if I give up a little more sales profit, I have to get it back. It's better to make less money than to run out of stock! I said Mr. Xiao...... You shouldn't have a few branches in Hualong Jewelry, right? So your difficulties are definitely not as big as ours, or ...... You can give me this piece of material, and I will make up a whole four million for Mr. Jiang...... As for this meal, I still invited it. ”
"Old Wu, what do you mean by this?"
When Old Man Xiao heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and he blew his beard and glared and said, "Why is the scale of our Hualong Jewelry not as big as your Jin Lefu, so I have to let you?" You're using the brand of Jin Lefu to press me, right...... Since you also said that you have many branches, then this piece of material can only make a few pairs of bracelets, what difference does it make if you take it down or not? There are few branches in our Hualong store, and after this piece of material is taken down, at least one can be placed in each branch, so ah...... You'd better give me this piece of material! I'll pay 4.3 million, little brother, sell me this piece of material! ”
Wu Junxian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Old man Xiao, why are you so troubled? 4,300,000 ...... This material is good, but if you buy this material at this price, you will almost give up all the sales profits, so ...... Aren't you working in vain? Of course...... Unless you raise the price of your piece of jewelry when it is on sale. But I said old man, the price of jade jewelry has risen crazy enough in the past two years, we can't buy this piece of material, just raise the price indiscriminately, this can be regarded as malicious competition, right? ”
Old Man Xiao smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry...... My Lao Xiao is also principled in doing business, I will sell this piece of material normally, and I will not squeeze sales profits at all, let alone raise the selling price to compete with you maliciously. ”
"Hmm...... Since you don't squeeze sales profits and don't increase the selling price, then you ......" Wu Junxian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and said: "I understand, Mr. Xiao, should you go out of the mountain again and carve this piece of material by yourself for this piece of material?" ”
Old Man Xiao smiled proudly and said, "You're right...... Some time ago, I was temporarily closed because I had to take care of my little grandson at home and enjoy family fun. But now that the little grandson has started to go to school, what special classes do he have to take every night after school...... My old man has nothing to do all day long, and he just happened to come across this piece of material is not bad, so pick up the carving knife again, and then carve a few more three or five years before resting! Ha ha...... So, the price I gave my little brother 4.3 million yuan was to give away my old man's carving money, but as for the sales profit, I won't squeeze a cent! ”
Wu Junxian was helpless for a while when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "...... Old man Xiao, you are ruthless enough, in order to grab this piece of material from me, you even did not hesitate to pick up the carving knife again! Yes...... I don't have your old skills, I can't rob you of this piece of material, if this little brother agrees, then let him sell it to you! Hey...... However, I saw that many of the 300 rough stones auctioned today look good, maybe there will be a few more high-end materials, and then Mr. Xiao, don't you want to grab it from me? ”
"Don't rob ......" Old Man Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "If I don't rob it, what will I eat!" Those of us who open jewelry stores, are there still too few high-end materials? Hum...... Not only will I rob you for this piece, but I will also grab ten more yuan from you! ”
Wu Junxian didn't care, just smiled and said, "Just grab it...... But this piece of material should be enough for you to keep busy for a month or two, right? If you wait for the good material, I see if you can always use the trick of giving up the carving fee to grab the material from me! ”
"That maybe......" Old Man Xiao said proudly: "If there is really good material worthy of my shot, I would rather give up all my year's carving fee and grab the material!" Ha ha...... A pure businessman like you will not understand, at Lao Xiao's age, in fact, it is not very important to make much money, if you really encounter the best good materials, let alone let me go out to carve the labor fee, even if I want to find a few dollars, I am willing. Because being able to carve a perfect piece of work with the best materials is a wonderful enjoyment in itself......"
Wu Junxian was completely defeated, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay...... If you have to rob me, old man, don't blame me for the cost! Well...... If it's a low-grade material, I can give it all to you, but if it's a high-end or high-quality material, I won't let it go next time! It's a big deal to squeeze the sales profits, we don't make money, why don't we make money at a loss, okay? ”
Old Man Xiao sneered and said, "What are you talking about...... If it weren't for the high-end and high-quality materials, do you think my old man would shoot casually? Okay...... Since you're going to grab ...... with my old man Then it's up to us to see what we do! ”
The old man said, turned his head to Jiang Shaoyou with a smiling face, and said, "How is this little brother...... Are you still satisfied with the price I offered for 4.3 million? If there is no problem, shall we hurry up and complete the formalities......"
Jiang Shaoyou hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. To be honest, when he learned that Old Man Xiao could get this price, it was actually because he gave up his carving fee, Jiang Shaoyou was a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that even if he sold this piece of jade material for 3.8 million, it would be a net profit of 3.4 million in one fell swoop! There is really no need to squeeze the old man's manual fees, so that Old Man Xiao is so old, he has to work hard for his own piece of material in vain.
It's just that...... If Jiang Shaoyou doesn't want the extra hundreds of thousands of Old Man Xiao, then there is no reason to sell this piece of jade material to Old Man Xiao, otherwise it will be unfair to Wu Junxian! And Old Man Xiao also said just now that he has to continue to compete with Wu Junxian for the high-grade jadeite materials that others have solved by squeezing his own carving fees, which means ...... Even if he didn't squeeze Old Man Xiao's carving fees, he would have to take the initiative to give up these carving fees to other people sooner or later. Case...... Then what are you polite to him?
So, then Jiang Shaoyou signed a contract with Mr. Xiao for the transfer of jadeite raw materials, and then Mr. Xiao directly transferred the amount of 4.3 million yuan into Jiang Shaoyou's account through his mobile phone.
Seeing Jiang Shaoyou's first rough stone auctioned, he made a net profit of nearly four million, and Mo Xue, who was originally a little drowsy by this gambling stone auction, was also extremely excited. Seeing that Jiang Shaoyou was about to untie the next piece of rough stone, Mo Xue hurriedly said, "Why don't you solve the piece I just chose first!" Maybe I can sell a few million of them! ”
Jiang Shaoyou smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Sister Xue, don't make trouble yet, okay?" There is not much time left, and we will go to see the results of the dark label later, so let's hurry up and unravel my 880,000 piece of rough stone first! Otherwise, this rough stone is lost here, and it is not reassuring! After all, we have already paid and signed for this piece of rough stone, and if we lose it, people will not be responsible! ”
Mo Xue puffed up her mouth angrily and said, "Then what should I do with this piece...... Aren't you afraid that this piece of rough stone will be lost here? ”
Jiang Shaoyou smiled: "This piece ...... Even if you give this piece to someone for nothing, I'm afraid it's too heavy! You can rest assured...... You can't lose this rough stone here, and even if you lose it, it doesn't matter! After all, the starting price of this rough stone at the auction was only 10,000 yuan, even if we really lost it, we would just lose 10,000 yuan, no big deal! ”
"No...... 10,000 yuan is not enough! Mo Xue bit her lip and said, "Anyway, I can't let this piece of rough stone be thrown away, if you have to solve your piece first, you can solve it first...... Wait a minute, when the bid is unveiled, you can go, it's a big deal, I'm here to watch. ”
Jiang Shaoyou was really speechless...... It seems that as long as she is a woman, she must have a time to play petty, even Sister Xue is no exception! Think about how well-behaved and obedient Sister Xue is usually, why did she become so stubborn today?
In desperation, Jiang Shaoyou had no choice but to give in and say, "Okay...... Since that's the case, let's solve Sister Xue's piece first, and it doesn't matter if I solve it later......"
