Chapter 67 Much Cheaper
"If this is the case, then there is no need to spend that in vain. You just need to buy some raw jade and then let the master process it for you directly and polish it into pieces. Even some scraps of good jade can be used with you. Of course, the scraps of good jade are not cheap, but they are definitely much cheaper than the jade pendant you just wanted." Tang Yahui said when she heard this, she became more and more surprised what the young man in front of her wanted to use these jades for.
Since ancient times, there have been many legends related to the misty gods and ghosts among the people. Therefore, in ancient times, many princes and nobles would use jade to bury them with them instead of gold and silver after their deaths. Even now, many people still believe that jade can ward off evil spirits, protect houses, and eliminate disasters, so they will carve jade into the shapes of Guanyin, Ruyi, dragon, tiger, Pixiu, etc.
Tang Yahui is a person in the industry, so she has naturally heard many legends about jade and has also come into contact with some people who use jade for special purposes. However, most of them are older, at least middle-aged. This is the first time she has encountered a young man like Ge Dongxu, and it is also the first time she has encountered such a large quantity at once. Most people only buy a few pieces, ask someone to carve them into the required shape, and then ask the master to open a light or something, so they are inevitably curious.
Of course, Tang Yahui received Marxism-Leninist education since she was a child, and she did not believe in the mysterious uses of jade.
"Where can I buy it?" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but feel more happy when he heard it, and asked hurriedly, thinking that fortunately the manager is Tang Yiyuan's daughter, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of money in vain, a country man who had never had any experience in this area.
"Haha, I have it here, but the quantity may not be enough, but it doesn't matter. I still have some acquaintances in this circle. You can adjust some of them immediately. I will help you with the price. I will definitely not let you suffer any losses." Tang Yahui said.
"That's so thank you, but opening the door to do business is profit. You still have to make money. You can't just not make money just because I know your father. Of course, you have to give me some discounts appropriately." Ge Dongxu smiled.
"Doctor Ge, you're out of here. Because it's a public business, I can't tell Yahui not to make money for you. As for other inadequate quantities, the seller can make money. How can Yahui, a middleman, make money again?" Tang Yiyuan rushed to interrupt without waiting for his daughter to answer.
"Doctor Ge? Could it be that Mr. Ge is still a doctor?" Tang Yahui was shocked when she saw her father calling Ge Dongxu a doctor.
It was amazing enough for a young man to buy two hundred jades at once to use for special purposes. Now this young man is actually a doctor, and seeing her father as he looks, he obviously highly praised his medical skills. Otherwise, at such a young age, how could her father call him Dr. Ge?
"Haha, it's not just a doctor, his medical skills are much better than your father," there is no outsider here, so there is no need to hide it.
"What!" Tang Yahui was really shocked this time. She knew his father's status in the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Jiangnan Province, and also knew that in terms of medical skills, he had always been rarely convinced, let alone a young man.
"Haha, Professor Tang, don't brag about me, or talk about jade, or talk about jade." Ge Dongxu was quite embarrassed by Tang Yiyuan's words.
Tang Yiyuan then remembered that Ge Dongxu did not like others to know his medical skills, so he did not talk about Ge Dongxu's magical medical skills in detail. Instead, he reminded Tang Yahui with a serious expression: "You can just know this yourself, but don't talk to others, otherwise Dr. Ge would not be able to study with peace of mind."
"I know Dad, don't worry. Even if I tell others about this kind of thing, no one will believe it." Tang Yahui nodded and said.
Tang Yiyuan thought about it and did not remind him again, but turned to the jade and said, "Then please let someone take the jade to Dr. Ge quickly. If it is not enough, please transfer it from other places."
"Okay." Tang Yahui saw that her father looked at Ge Dongxu and did not dare to delay, so she responded, then said hello to Ge Dongxu and then went out.
Not long after, she brought back a middle-aged man with a box in his hand.
When you open the box, you will find jadeite that has not been processed yet.
"The jade that is not processed in our store is basically here. You can see which ones are suitable, and then I will give you a quote and ask your master to help you process it. There will be no money for processing, but it's just a cut anyway." Tang Yahui pointed to the jade in the box and said.
Ge Dongxu was not polite to Tang Yahui at this time, so he took the jade piece and felt it carefully. The raw jades that Tang Yahui brought were basically glutinous ice and below, such as glutinous rice, flower green, oil green, ice bean, and there was no glass or ice, let alone old pit glass or glass imperial green jade. The latter were all high-end jade products, and some famous or even master-level figures would need to be processed, otherwise it would be a waste of good materials.
With Jiangdi Jewelry's strength, I can't afford to support such famous artists and masters, and I don't have enough funds to buy high-end goods. At most, I can only buy a few finished products in the store to improve the store's level.
Of course, if it was really that high-end product, Ge Dongxu would not be able to afford it.
Ge Dongxu picked some jade that he thought could be used, then piled them aside, guessing that he could polish a jade tablet of forty or fifty yuan, then pointed to the ones who picked it up and asked Tang Yahui, "How much does this cost?"
The purchase of jadeite is different from other goods, and it can be hundreds of thousands or millions at any time. Therefore, Tang Yahui, the person in charge of Jiangdi jewelry, has always been in charge of negotiations and checking the purchase, so the price is clear. When Ge Dongxu asked this, she added the cost and profit, and said: "A total of 276,000 is needed."
"You are not wrong with this cheap? These should be able to create the jade tablets I need for about 140 or 50 yuan." Ge Dongxu was shocked when he heard this, because if the previous price of the pendant was 30% off, it would have been about 700,000 yuan for 140 yuan, but now the price has dropped by more than twice.
"Haha, how could I make this wrong? Your requirements are low, so you can create a 140 or 50 jade tablets, but if we want to process them into pendants, bracelets and other accessories, the waste is quite powerful, let alone processing costs. At this level of jade, every piece is carved and polished as a work of art, which not only takes time, but also requires experienced masters. It is impossible for low-end jade like green beans to be processed by any apprentice. And if you buy so much at once, we just switched the price, and I can naturally give more discounts on the price. So after this conversion, 276,000 is not a small amount. No matter how much, my dad will probably scold me for being a profiteer!" said Tang Yahui.
