Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Pictures
As soon as Jiang Zhixia walked into the door of Zhu Cuilou, the guys on the door warmly greeted him.
When the guy came over and saw that Zhixia was a female guest who came alone, he turned his head and found a forty or fifty-year-old lady to come and receive her.
This lady looks kind, has a strong affinity, has deep smile lines on her face, and looks like a person who often laughs, which is very good.
The eldest lady enthusiastically took Zhixia to the display case in the lobby, wanting to introduce her to jewelry.
Jiang Zhixia groaned, stood up, looked at the surroundings and saw that no one was around, and no one paid attention to her appearance, before asking her softly: "I want to meet the shopkeeper of the Guibao, I don't know if it is in the store now?" I have my own jewelry here and I want to see if I can sell it. I wonder if the eldest lady can make it easier for her? ”
Jiang Zhixia had thought about how to go to the shopkeeper to negotiate a deal.
For example, you can look at the jewelry for a while, and after seeing it, you will say that you are not satisfied. Then he took out the pattern and said that he wanted to make jewelry. As soon as this pattern comes out, it will definitely lead to the shopkeeper, after all, the pricing of jewelry is not something that a guy can decide.
It's kind of boring to think about it later.
Zhixia didn't have so many hearts and eyes in his previous life and this life, and he was afraid that he would talk about it, and then he would leak his mouth and slap his face.
What's more, why bother?
Anyway, the end result is to sell the pattern. It seems insincere to go around and around. It's better to be open.
It's this kind of door-to-door sales, Jiang Zhixia has never done it before, and he is a little embarrassed.
Later, I thought about it, there weren't many sweeping buildings in my previous life? Although she hadn't swept the building, it was the same if she wanted to open it.
What is face? Can you eat it? Can you drink it? Can you buy whatever you want?
The eldest lady saw that Xia was here to sell things, but her face did not change, but she still enthusiastically led her to the chair behind the screen and sat down, and poured her a cup of tea before saying, "Girl, wait a minute." I'm going to see if the shopkeeper is busy now. ”
Jiang Zhixia stood up solemnly and thanked him.
After a while, I saw the lady leading a man of about fifty to come over.
It seems that this is the shopkeeper of Zhu Cuilou.
Zhixia hurriedly stood up, took off his hat, and made a salute.
The shopkeeper also smiled and returned the salute, and introduced himself: "Below is the shopkeeper of Zhu Cuilou. The surname is Xu. There was a distinguished guest just now, and it was delayed. Please Haihan, please Haihan. ”
"Shopkeeper Xu is good. I don't dare to be, but I'm going to cause trouble for the shopkeeper. Zhixia said busily.
"The girl is gracious. Just now, Aunt Yang said that you have jewelry patterns to sell here. I don't know if you can take a look at it first? Shopkeeper Xu asked with a polite smile.
"This one is natural." Jiang Zhixia hurriedly took out the purse caged in his sleeve pocket and opened it, took out three patterns, and placed them on the table one by one.
Shopkeeper Xu looked over, Rao is usually well-informed, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Nowadays, the jewelry styles are mostly handed down by jewelry craftsmen since ancient times. Jewellery making is mostly a family craft that has been passed down by word of mouth. Occasionally, there will be craftsmen who come up with something new on their own. However, there has been no definite pattern. Not to mention this fine to the size of the pattern.
"Girl, please move to the second floor box, let's talk in detail in the box on the second floor." Shopkeeper Xu is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, and immediately judged the value of this pattern.
As long as you get this pattern, those senior craftsmen can make good jewelry according to the pattern. Even if the skills are not exquisite enough to be as vivid as the pattern, it seems that the light can also set off a craze.
Jiang Zhixia was also shocked. She had thought that this pattern would be more valuable.
After all, in the past two years, Zhixia has seen the jewelry of the palace people. I also went to show the way for those who came to the palace to meet the queen, and saw the jewelry of the ladies and ladies. Today, I visited the jewelry store several times--- although I only walked around the lobby.
However, Jiang Zhixia never thought that he could be invited to the second floor to discuss in detail.
Although Jiang Zhixia thought so in his heart, his face was indifferent. She took the hat in her hand and followed Shopkeeper Xu to the box on the second floor.
When he arrived at the box on the second floor, after Zhixia put the hat on the table, he sat on a stool and gently swept the furnishings of the box.
At first glance, this box is for distinguished guests. Not to mention the exquisite and elegant decoration, the furnishings inside are also good, and there are landscape calligraphy and paintings on the wall, revealing an elegance from the inside out.
After the shopkeeper Xu arranged for the guys to serve tea and snacks, he asked Zhixia to introduce the pattern.
Jiang Zhixia picked up a pattern, pointed and said, "This is a step shake." The walk is shaken also. Ideal for women. Especially when you wear it, you can show the beautiful appearance and posture of the noble lady. The craftsman can use gold to knock it into thin slices, and then bend them into the shape of butterflies and petals, and in the middle can be inlaid with fine pieces of jade to make flower centers and stamens. Then the drooping tassels can be made of small pearls or agate or jade and the like with gold or silver thread. This jewelry can be named Butterfly Love Flower Shake. ”
Because, there was no step shake before the Great Calendar Dynasty, and I don't know how well everyone accepts it, so Zhixia drew a simple butterfly love flower step shake, but this step shake is more exquisite craftsman's craftsmanship.
Zhixia also heard about the skillful Liu in the teahouse, so he introduced this jewelry pattern in special detail.
After Jiang Zhixia introduced this step, the other butterfly love flower earrings and bracelets were just a few simple words.
After all, there is no deal yet, so it is impossible to say everything in detail.
Shopkeeper Xu naturally understood this truth, so he didn't ask much.
"I wonder how much the girl wants to sell?" Shopkeeper Xu asked with a deep groan.
"Then I don't know how much money Shopkeeper Xu can make?" Jiang Zhixia covered his mouth and asked softly with a smile. She actually had no bottom in her own heart, but it was not easy for people to see it, so she had to ask rhetorically.
"Because the materials are all made by us, and the craftsmanship is also made by our craftsmen, the girl only produces a pattern, and after the jewelry is made, it is difficult to say how it will be sold. Why don't you have a hundred taels of a pattern? After all, Shopkeeper Xu has been a businessman for many years, and at this time, the shrewdness has come up.
"Shopkeeper Xu is laughing, right?" Zhixia retorted with a soft chuckle. But my mind was spinning fast.
In today's jewelry, there is no uniform pricing. After all, gold and silver are priceless, craftsmanship is priceless, and most of them are priced by the merchants themselves. If you make a jewelry, you must be unique.
However, even if this jewelry is unique, it is difficult to say how much Zhu Cuilou can sell for in the end. asked for too much, and Zhu Cuilou was naturally unwilling. However, one hundred taels is still less, right? ------ should be less, right?
Jiang Zhixia himself began to worry.
How much do you have to sell for?
