Chapter 36: The Occasion of Parting
After Sun Xiaofei returned to Gransdy City, he dealt with the jade and stone carvings, and quickly convened a family meeting. The people present were all elders of the clan, and his plan needed to be consulted by everyone.
Those present were surprised to hear that he wanted to develop a jade business. Because now the Dagus family has become an aristocratic family in Gransdy City, with many industries, among which Sun Xiaofei's refining and pharmaceutical businesses have gradually been on the right track, and the momentum of development is good.
Now everyone didn't expect that Sun Xiaofei would go out and start a jade business when he came back. After hearing the news, everyone present suddenly began to discuss
Among the industries currently developed by the family, in terms of refining weapons, the family still has a certain amount of experience because it has done business such as buying and selling weapons. The refiner is mainly combined with family cultivation and recruitment, and can also maintain steady development.
The alchemist who refined the pill was completely cultivated by Sun Xiaofei himself. Now the family already has two huge medicine gardens and some alchemists and medicine farmers, and through cooperation with the medicinal herb merchants in the city, the refined medicines and various cheap medicinal materials are selling well. Although there is no huge profit to be seen for the time being, it is foreseeable that in the future, it will be another major income industry for their family.
It's just that Sun Xiaofei actually wants to deal with jade, and he has no corresponding experience in this industry, so he can't figure it out at all. I am afraid that investment will drag down the development of other industries.
So, after the discussion among the people present, some clansmen immediately came out to persuade Sun Xiaofei to give up the jade industry.
Sun Xiaofei already knew about this result, and immediately began to convince them of the ideological work.
When everyone saw that he was full of confidence, they all looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do. Everyone handed over this decision to Philp, after all, he was Sun Xiaofei's father, and others had to take care of Sun Xiaofei's current identity, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Feeling the expectant gaze of the people present, Philp coughed lightly, got up and asked Sun Xiaofei, "Ryan, are you really sure that you can do a good job in this jade industry?"
"Father, I know what you're worried about, and this decision is a good thing, as long as you do what I say. I can guarantee that in a few years, our family will be strong and regain its former prestige. When Sun Xiaofei heard this, he laughed and said.
When everyone heard him say this, they nodded their heads and were a little moved. Although this decision is a big risk, it is a little insignificant compared to the benefits that will be obtained later.
As long as there is enough time, Sun Xiaofei is confident that he will develop the Dagus family and become the top big family in the mainland. The final result of the meeting was to pass the resolution of the people to implement the operation of the jade industry proposed by Sun Xiaofei.
Sun Xiaofei waited until everyone dispersed, leaving only his father Philip and uncle Daniel. Ask them who in Gransdy has the highest ability to identify jade?
Philp and Daniel looked at each other, muttered, and replied, "As far as I know, it should be Mr. Condy of the Smith family in this city. ”
"Okay, father, you can help me contact Mr. Smith, and say I want to see him. Sun Xiaofei nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll get in touch. You're tired too, so go and rest first. Philp asked.
Sun Xiaofei shook his head and said, "Father, I'm fine." Although it was just an ordinary greeting, it made Sun Xiaofei feel warm in his heart.
After Philp's arrangement, he and Condi agreed to meet at his house. After receiving this reply, Sun Xiaofei personally visited the door.
As the largest jeweler in the city, the Smith family has been mainly selling jewelry for generations, and many side lines have developed into the big cities of other principalities.
With many capable professional jewelry appraisers in the jewelry industry, as well as perfect industry purchase and sales services, it has become the largest jeweler in Gransdy City with a variety of high-quality fine jewelry and humanized services.
After receiving a personal visit from Sun Xiaofei, the marquis, the Smith family was led by the patriarch and led the clansmen to the door to greet them.
Both sides greeted each other politely, and then walked inside, and sat down in the hall of honor and guest of honor.
Sun Xiaofei made a long story short and directly expressed his intention. His eyes swept over the people present, and said, "I heard that Mr. Condi has outstanding jewelry appraisal ability, and I would like to ask Mr. Condi to come to my house and help me identify a batch of jade." ”
"Lord Marquis, my father is in the backyard. It's just that in recent years, he rarely goes out in his old age, and generally stays at home to watch his collection. Your Excellency wants to ask him out, and I will ask him what the old man means?"
The patriarch's name was Harry, about forty years old, and he was chubby, with a round face and a round nose, and small eyes hidden between his fat cheeks and forehead, and he looked like he was middle-aged and fat.
Being able to have a good relationship with Sun Xiaofei, the marquis, he knew what a rare opportunity this was for the entire family. Moreover, seeing that Sun Xiaofei is so young, it is much easier to speak.
When Sun Xiaofei heard this, his face moved, he touched his chin, and said, "Mr. Harry, then please take me over to meet Mr. Condi." ”
For Sun Xiaofei's request, Harry naturally couldn't refuse, nodded and agreed. Then he got up and ordered the others to wait in the hall, and he took Sun Xiaofei to meet his father, the jewelry appraiser Condi.
In the backyard of Smith's house, in an old house, two people were talking while looking at an antiquity.
"Clina, why don't you hang out with Brown and the others, you'd rather come here to accompany grandpa!"
An old man with gray hair in the room said lovingly to a girl in a lilac dress. This old man is the old man Kandi, who has been immersed in the jewelry industry all his life and has a wealth of identification skills for various gemstones. If that girl was Sun Xiaofei here, he would recognize it as Clina.
"Grandpa, those people are too noisy, I still have to accompany grandpa here. Klina shook her head.
Condi laughed, the wrinkles on his face piled together, and said, "Klina, be a senior jewelry connoisseur, but you have to endure loneliness. Grandpa is old, and everything else doesn't mean much to me. You're still young, and you have time. ”
"No, grandpa, you're not old at all. I don't lie to you. Klina said in a loud voice, looking a little playful.
Condi was full of joy, he also liked this Krina, among the many children in the family, Krina's personality is more quiet, her temperament is not as frivolous and frivolous as the other children in the clan, and she has the potential to be a connoisseur.
At this time, someone came to report that Harry had come with a young man. Condi glanced at Klina and walked out, followed by Klina.
Harry walked in with Sun Xiaofei, and on the way over, Harry introduced him to various landscapes and interesting facts about the family mansion, and Sun Xiaofei listened with a smile.
When Harry saw Condy, he pointed at Sun Xiaofei and said to him, "Father, this is the Marquis of Ryan of the Dalus family." ”
Condi listened and hurriedly paid a visit. When Klina behind her saw Sun Xiaofei, she was even more shocked, and she seemed to be stunned when she couldn't move. She had already recognized Sun Xiaofei, who was the one who rescued him that day.
At Harry's suggestion, Fang woke up and bowed down to meet him.
"Mr. Condy, don't be so polite. Sun Xiaofei let out a huge force to prevent Kang Dubai from seeing him. The joke made an old man in his seventies and eighties visit him, Sun Xiaofei didn't have such a big show, not to mention that he still had something to ask for help.
Sun Xiaofei's eyes saw Kleina, he was slightly stunned, and asked casually, "Why are you?" It turns out that you are from the Smith family. ”
Klina's face turned a little red, and she said, "Lord Marquis, thank you very much last time. ”
"It's a small thing, you don't have to be polite. Sun Xiaofei waved his hand and said with a smile.
When Harry on the side saw this scene, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked Krina, "Krina, do you know Lord Marquis?"
Klina nodded with a hmm.
Sun Xiaofei said with a smile: "Mr. Harry, I have a relationship with Miss Clina, and we can be regarded as acquaintances. ”
"Oh—" Harry's eyes rolled, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
Then, several people walked in, and Harry told Sun Xiaofei's words to Condi. Sun Xiaofei made some additions, inviting Kangdi to be the chief connoisseur of his family's jade business, and in the future, the Dagus family and the Smith family will cooperate in the jade business. Condi looked at Sun Xiaofei, nodded and agreed.
Sun Xiaofei was so happy that he immediately thanked him. Condi smiled and talked happily with him, his eyes swept over Krina, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
Sun Xiaofei didn't expect things to be negotiated so easily, and after a short conversation, he invited Kangdi to his mansion to do some appraisal of a batch of jade.
Condi gladly accepted and promised to go back with him. Sun Xiaofei got up to say goodbye to Harry and returned to the mansion first. Harry took the people and sent them away.
Kangdi was originally not optimistic about the jade proposed by Sun Xiaofei, and the reason why he agreed was not for Sun Xiaofei's face. Rather, because of Krina, money has lost its meaning to him, and only those precious gems and jade can arouse his interest.
Sun Xiaofei did not disappoint him, took him into the family treasury, and instructed his subordinates to take out the stone carvings and jade artifacts collected for Kangdi to appreciate well.
"It's... These are the finest jades?" Condi looked at the jade and sculptures piled up like a hill in front of him, and opened his mouth wide with a shocked look on his face.
Sun Xiaofei laughed secretly on the side, he had long known that as long as he brought Condi and saw these superb jades he had carefully prepared, he would not believe that the latter would not be moved. These superb jades were specially absorbed by him for a night, and turned them into such expensive pieces of superb jade.
"Lord Marquis, how did you find so many superb jade?" asked Condi, who was stunned to hide the shock in his heart.
"I can't answer that. Mr. Condi, as long as you promise to help me do a good job in the identification of these jades, I can promise that in the future, my family's jade will be exclusively operated by your Smith family, you say, is this condition good?" Sun Xiaofei smiled lightly.
"Yes, well, with the words of the Marquis, even if you want me to do anything, I am willing. Condi laughed.
When Condi heard Sun Xiaofei's words, he was immediately very happy, there was such a good thing that fell from the sky, and it was destined that the Smith family should prosper.
Sun Xiaofei was also very happy when he saw Kangdi's proud appearance, this matter was originally a good thing for both parties.
He thought to himself: Father, there is only so much I can do, and it is up to you whether the family can become strong again.
Sun Xiaofei has already decided to go to the Raptors Empire tomorrow to meet the imperial king, and then go to the ancient city of Byron to participate in the Four Kingdoms Competition.
Imperial Capital City, Temple of the God of War, I'm here!
