Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Three days later, at seven o'clock in the evening, Su Xiaojia's carefully prepared online auction of black pearl jewelry was held as scheduled.

Considering the limitations and risks of online shopping, it is not suitable for high-end products. Therefore, this time the lot is positioned at the mid-range level, with beads ranging in size from 8 or 9 mm to 11 or 2 mm, and the shape ranges from teardrop-shaped to nearly round and finely round. Although it is not big, it is in good condition, whether it is brightness, iridescence and surface texture, it is excellent.

As for the starting price, the lowest unit price of each piece is 1,000 yuan, and the highest is 5,000 yuan, leaving considerable room for bidding.

Among the black pearl raw materials obtained by Jiang Yichen, there are five high-grade products with a diameter of about 15 millimeters, and six excellent products with a diameter of 18 to 20 millimeters, which are not within the scope of this auction. Leave it for later disposal.

Blue Starfish has accumulated a good reputation in the Golden Conch Forum for a long time, coupled with the display effect of the samples a few days ago, the auction attracted a large number of enthusiasts to participate.

Although some netizens agreed in advance not to raise the price with each other, this kind of thing is often easier said than done.

In addition, several opposition members such as I love Great White Shark also appeared immediately, chattering to advise everyone not to buy such valuable things online, the quality cannot be guaranteed, once the goods are not right, the loss is huge, or go to the regular big shopping malls more safely.

However, the persuasion effect was obviously not satisfactory, and there were few responders, which made them feel very bored.

The auction has officially begun, lots of lots. It is a black pearl silver brooch with a bead size of 11 mm. Fine, triple A brightness. It looks very bright against the dark red background in the picture, and the overall shape is quite novel and chic.

The starting price is 2,000 yuan, and the bidding time limit is five minutes.

As soon as the auction began, the popularity quickly boiled, and seven or eight netizens launched a fierce competition for Lot 1. In the end, a female netizen named Haima MM won the first prize at a price of 3,900 yuan.

The good start was realized, and the herd effect was successfully driven, and the rest of the things became smoother.

The auction will run until 10 o'clock in the evening. A total of 15 lots were auctioned, with a total amount of more than 90,000 yuan. Moreover, the transaction price of each lot has almost doubled from the original price, and some even higher.

However, old acquaintances Crab Tingting, Cousin Liu and Butterflyfish were just watching the excitement at the scene and did not participate in the actual bidding. Of course, this did not prevent them from expressing their various opinions on what was in the auction throughout the event.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because they all know that this online auction is just an appetizer. Blue starfish did not come up with the high-end boutique goods in the black pearl.

That being the case, this made them decide not to spend money tonight and focus on the follow-up main course.

Another netizen in the crab duo is more practical, knowing that the high-end boutique goods of Blue Starfish are beyond his means. So he auctioned a black pearl pendant at a price of 7,000 yuan and prepared to give it to his wife.

The day after the auction, Jiang Yichen, who learned the news of the success, contacted Su Xiaojia through Penguin Communication. Congratulations to her.

Su Xiaojia modestly said that the auction and the transaction price did not meet her expectations, and it seems that she will have to continue to work hard in the future.

In addition, thanks to the recommendation and guarantee of Liu Minxiu, the lobby manager of Ding Xiangyuan, a new employee came to the store. Her name is Wu Dongmei. The identity is clear, and it is said that he is Liu Minxiu's distant cousin. The local residents of Lingjiang look pretty good and are quite clever. At present, Xiao Qiu is taking her to familiarize herself with the business.

Jiang Yichen said that since Blue Starfish has a new manpower, Xiaojia's sister can be more relaxed and give herself an annual leave. According to the plan a few days ago, let's come to Yunsha Island for a vacation. As for the follow-up marketing work of black pearl jewelry, don't worry, take your time, and the appetite of hanging consumers may be better.

Su Xiaojia also agreed with this idea, she said that she had wanted to come to Yunsha Island for a long time, and she would leave after a few days when the work handover was clear.

In addition, there are a lot of things she has to prepare and organize before going out, and it takes time.

"What's in order? The island has daily use. Isn't it so troublesome to go to other places? Jiang Yichen asked curiously.

"Mainly my new camera, but also lenses, tripods, cleaning kits, power banks, laptops, etc., a big box, very heavy. Brother Chenzi, you have to come and pick me up then. Su Xiaojia responded.

Camera? Remember, isn't it just a micro-mirror? How can you be so popular? Jiang Yichen thought wonderingly.

Under his questioning, the other party then explained, and sent a few new photos of the night view of the Lingjiang River for him to comment.

It turned out that it really responded to the old saying on the Internet, as soon as you enter the shadow gate, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on, everything is floating clouds.

At the beginning, Su Xiaojia began to learn photography technology in order to promote Lan Haixing's goods online, and bought a mirrorless camera under Jiang Yichen's construction.

When she first started, after the guidance of online photography veterans, coupled with her own hard work, she was quite satisfied with the photos taken with this mirrorless camera.

But as time passed, her knowledge and vision continued to improve, and she was constantly "brainwashed" by the detailed and layered art photos of the online photography forum. Gradually, the function of the mirrorless camera in her hand can no longer meet her pursuit of a higher level.

Therefore, her eyes began to turn to more advanced equipment, and then in the photography forum, the veterans in the slogan "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", she chose a new imported full-frame SLR digital camera, a high-end model, and the price of the body alone is as high as more than 20,000 yuan.

A good horse naturally has to be equipped with a good saddle, and the corresponding wide-angle, fixed-focus, and zoom lenses have been bought, as well as uV lenses, filters, external flashes, memory cards, spare batteries, etc., and the whole set of equipment has cost a total of nearly 40,000 yuan.

The reason why the equipment was raised so high all of a sudden is still due to the teachings of the seniors in the photography forum, and of course, it is also a lesson. One step in place, no more tossing. This may seem like a lot of money at once, but it's actually more cost-effective than changing the phone and upgrading it a little bit later.

"Good guy, it's really tall, and you are going to the professional road."

The photographic equipment was so expensive that Jiang Yichen couldn't help but be speechless. No wonder some people on the Internet ridiculed that playing SLR is poor for three generations.

But after thinking about it, Sister Xiaojia is not an ordinary girl now, and the Blue Sea Star Store is not a small number for the time being, you must know that she and Aunt Wu own 30% of the shares of Dingxiangyuan, and the dividends accumulated for a long time are not a small number. And that's not even counting the salaries of their grandparents.

Not to mention a few pieces of photographic equipment, it is an ordinary commercial house with two bedrooms and one living room in Lingjiang City, and it is estimated that there is no problem in buying it. A very small woman.

With a strong financial foundation, it seems that this is not too much of an expense, and photography is a very meaningful hobby in both work and life.

Still, there is a reminder of what should be said.

So he told Su Xiaojia that photography is the art of light and shadow, which is similar to painting and sculpture.

A good camera is indispensable to make a good film, but it's actually more important to have the person behind the viewfinder. As an amateur photographer, it is the right way to improve your artistic accomplishment, aesthetic taste, and vision to emerge from the world and capture the elements of beauty.

As for the equipment, just use it, don't burn it too much and indulge in it. This is a misguided path that is actually contrary to the essence of art.

This is the same reason that those who burn the stereo hard are often not true music lovers.

Su Xiaojia was silent for a while when she saw the message. Then she replied, saying that she understood and agreed with the above reasoning. However, a full-frame camera with a large bottom plate and a large aperture, with a suitable lens, its pixels, rich range of details, depth of field, layering, noise control and other technical indicators are really incomparable to card and mirrorless cameras.

However, she will control the scale so that she will not let herself burn too much. After all, burning equipment is far less interesting for her than making art.

Jiang Yichen was relieved to see that Xiaojia's sister was so aware of things. He then discussed with the other party about coming to Yunsha Island for a vacation, and said that he would arrange a speedboat to pick her up at that time.
