Chapter 414

: You love me

For Mr. Zhang, being able to meet Jia Sidao is undoubtedly an opportunity. It was when his jade shop was at its most miserable and needed high-end jade jewelry the most that he found Jia Sidao who could help him inadvertently.

For Jia Sidao, it is also a very good opportunity to meet Mr. Zhang. At least, you can get back your funds as soon as possible, and even make your jade jewelry "green, fat, red and thin" in Beijing. First, use Mr. Zhang's shop to lay a good foundation.

If Jia Sidao really wants to go to Beijing to develop in the future, he will have an ally!

However, according to Jia Sidao's current plan, it seems that it is still a very distant thing to open his jade store to Beijing.

"Mr. Zhang, in addition to the jade shop, do you have any jade material processing factories or the like?" Jia Sidao asked carefully.

"In terms of processing, we have relatively reliable bases in Beijing and Yangzhou. Although those two places do not belong to the jade shops under my name, they are relatively safe." Mr. Zhang replied, "It's a pity that it's just that the appropriate jade materials are lacking. I have personally gone south several times and prepared to bet on stones. Hey, in the end, I still lost repeatedly. Even when purchasing materials, I often suffered losses. I could only get some medium and low-end materials to deal with them."

"Even the purchase of Ming materials has been restricted?" Jia Sidao finally understood how urgent the old man in front of him was to pursue high-end jade jewelry. Generally speaking, at the age of Mr. Zhang, who has been an expert in jade shops for many years, must have a lot of inventory in his own store.

No matter what the jade market is like on the market, as long as you are thinking about making your jade store bigger, you will inevitably use a lot of money to stock up on some top-quality jade materials. What's more, the price of jade has been rising in recent years. If you stockpile enough jade materials in the early years, don't say that you can't continue to operate the jade store, you can gradually transfer the jade materials you have accumulated, and you can get a lot of money.

However, once the high-end jade market is restricted by others, it is easy to run out quickly!

After all, the price of top-quality jade materials is quite expensive. Even if you spend all your funds on purchasing jade materials, how much can you buy?

Moreover, when the jade materials you collect now are not as fast as the sales speed in the store, even if Mr. Zhang’s jade store is famous and someone comes to buy jade jewelry but can’t find what they want, these customers can come again for the second time, and probably won’t come again for the third time or the fourth time, right?

You have to say that in the stone gambling industry, it does not mean that if you have money, you will definitely be able to get high-end jade materials if you are rich. Of course, if you snatch them without any worries and cost, then if you have money, you are still the master!

"It's not just that the acquisition of Mingqian has been restricted." Mr. Zhang sighed and said, "It turns out that my 'Ruyi Jade Building' is one of the more outstanding jewelry stores in Beijing. However, since the first half of this year, because there are not enough high-end jade jewelry for sale, it has gradually become a second-rate. Originally, I didn't care much about it. After all, the price of jade materials has gradually increased in recent times. It is reasonable for many merchants who operate jade materials to stock up on the market. However, just after I went to Guangdong, even my former friends who were old friends were unwilling to provide materials at the market price, I felt that things were in trouble."

At the end, Mr. Zhang sighed a few times.

I don’t know if it’s for his own experience, or just for his “old friendship” friends!

"I'm so angry." Mr. Zhang suddenly raised his head, looked at Jia Sidao and others, and then said with emotion, "Everyone is in business. I am indeed not short of money, but I won't make a lot of money for them in vain, right? In the end, they were only willing to provide a limited quantity for even half a percent higher than the market price. Isn't this pushing people to the dead end?"

Looking at Mr. Zhang's very indignant look, A San and Jia Sidao could only sigh helplessly.

The competition in the shopping mall itself is so bad. Jia Sidao didn’t know how other jade shops in Linhai would deal with their ‘green, fat, red and thin’ after returning to Linhai after his travels these days.

Compared to Mr. Zhang, Jia Sidao is undoubtedly much more confident.

What is particularly important is that Mr. Zhang’s store is opened in Beijing, while Jia Sidao’s “green, fat, red and thin” is opened in a small county like Linhai. The level of competitors that he needs to face is itself an insurmountable gap.

"If Mr. Zhang is free tomorrow, why not, I would like to treat you to a meal?" Jia Sidao said thinking.

"Tomorrow?" Mr. Zhang was slightly stunned, looked at Jia Sidao, and showed a bit of joy in his eyes, and said, "Why don't you need Xiao Jia, come here to treat you. Come, come, come, if there is nothing to do tomorrow, come together, I'll do it. How about here?"

"Well, Xiao Jia, aren't you going to meet Mr. Yang tomorrow?" A San next to him reminded.

"Oh, that's right." Jia Sidao patted his forehead and looked at Mr. Zhang a little sorry. After all, Mr. Yang's appointment came earlier than Mr. Zhang. "However, I will go to see Mr. Yang during the day tomorrow. I believe that it will be possible to make time in the evening. Let's make an appointment at 6 o'clock tomorrow night, and see you here."

"Okay, see you all." Mr. Zhang picked up the wine glass, everyone touched it. Then, Mr. Zhang left a mobile phone number and explained his name. It turned out to be Zhang Kuang! Jia Sidao thought, from Mr. Zhang's current appearance, he felt a bit gentle. When he was young, he would not be so vicious that he was "crazy".

Just because of this name, Jia Sidao, A San, Yang Fan and others also had a long discussion.

After Zhang Kuang was far away, A San asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jia, are you going to hand over some of your jade materials to him?"

"Jade material?" Yang Fan next to him asked curiously, "Isn't it a jade jewelry?"

You should know that in Yang Fan's perception, Jia Sidao is the owner of a jade store. If he sells the jade materials at hand directly, the profit he earned during the period would not be higher than that of jade jewelry.

"There are also jade jewelry, and there are also jade materials." Jia Sidao said with a little divine attitude, but he didn't explain too much. Yang Fan's eyes looked at him, and he still had a curious expression. And A San thought about Jia Sidao's words carefully before a smile of relief appeared on his face.

Asan undoubtedly has a much deeper understanding of Jia Sidao than Yang Fan. It is precisely because of his understanding that Asan can understand Jia Sidao’s plan. Could it be that as a person who runs a jade store, Jia Sidao doesn’t know that the price of selling jade materials directly is not as high as jade jewelry?

Jia Sidao felt somewhat apologized when he happened in the "Treasure Fighting" session just now, especially when facing Zhang Kuang. As a result, Jia Sidao would ask Mr. Zhang Kuang whether there is a processing place for jade materials in addition to the jade store. If he could sell a few pieces of high-quality jade materials for Zhang Kuang to process by himself, it would be considered as repaying such a favor.

Jia Sidao is not a person who likes to owe others favors randomly. Otherwise, he would not have been on the side of Yuyan Mountain and would have returned Yang Siyi to the spot if he wanted to.

Of course, what Zhang Kuang needs most now is not the best jade material, but a certain number of high-end jade jewelry. Only by immediately getting a certain number of high-quality jade jewelry and directly putting it into his own jade store can we minimize the loss of customer flow, recover the customers who were originally disappointed in his store as much as possible, and even find a glimmer of hope from the joint suppression of other shops!

This is also the reason why Jia Sidao believes that both jade materials and jade jewelry are indispensable.

As for Yang Fan, he couldn't think of this, but Jia Sidao didn't care at all. The two met each other in such a short time tonight, and Jia Sidao didn't think that everything would have to be fully explained. Moreover, even A San's thoughts may not be all right.

When he heard Zhang Kuang say that he could speak in the jade processing factory in Beijing and Yangzhou, Jia Sidao had the idea of ​​these jade carving masters under his command. Who made Jia Sidao's processing workshop lack a skilled carving master at this moment?

By the time Mr. Yang’s birthday party ended, it was already midnight.

On the one hand, Jia Sidao and A San had no familiar people to chat with each other, but on the other hand, they didn't want to join in the fun of others by themselves. They just ate, drank and chatted by the seat. When the birthday party was mostly held, Yang Fan had already left early.

Jia Sidao asked for a while to sit there, but he didn't see Mr. Yang and Yang Siyi, so he returned to the seat here. He originally wanted to say goodbye to others, but in the end he just registered with the emcee in the venue and returned to the hotel with A San.

The next day, after A San got up, he found Jia Sidao and said, "Xiao Jia, I have nothing to do if I stay here. Why not, I will go back today. In addition, if you want me to help me take this back with your Tianhuangshi seal? I think you should check it back. You know, this thing is expensive. If you really lose it, I will not have to spend all my money with you."

"Come on. How can I not understand your little thoughts?" Jia Sidao muttered angrily.

Although Ah San said that he didn't want to take Tian Huangshi's seal back, he actually wanted to die. Anyone who likes to collect antiques, when facing such an opportunity, probably likes that he can contact these antiques for a longer time?

"However, you can't just take it back. I have to give you a task." Jia Sidao said with a smile, "Speaking of it, I'm really going to go to Mr. Liu to ask if this Tianhuangshi seal is sure that it is the imperial seal of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. However, I think he will definitely not admit it at this time."

"That's it." Asan nodded and said, "If it were him, I wouldn't have admitted it."

"Last night, didn't we see him coming to me to talk about the Tian Huangshi Seal?" Jia Sidao said thinking, "I think this thing is real, and the probability is very high. So, after you go back, help me find someone to identify it first."

"Me?" said A San, "What are the benefits?" After all, A San knew that in terms of antiques, Jia Sidao's interpersonal relationships were really not as good as him. If Jia Sidao asked him to find someone to appraise himself, he would have to send them to a place like the provincial capital and find a cultural relic identification center.

"It's not a good thing to ask you boy to take it back." Jia Sidao rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"That's it." A San said with emotion, "I'm really in a difficult life. I'll give you the free labor force for the time being, but I'll help you find someone to identify it."

"Otherwise, I'll pay you some more consignment fee?" Jia Sidao looked at A San with a smile, then said, "If this is the case, I wonder if I can find a professional consignment company to be more secure?"

"You are ruthless!" A San muttered. Instead of talking about his two porcelains, Jia Sidao's Tianhuangshi seal, let alone, Jia Sidao found Mr. Yang of "Shizhixuan" in the morning. The place was naturally in "Shizhixuan". This time, it was not in the branch, but in the largest flagship store. Jia Sidao looked at it slightly and felt that in terms of style, it was quite similar to the branch I saw yesterday.

The layout inside the store seems a bit diverse.

Whether it is bloodstone or other stone sculptures, it gives people a very vivid and flexible feeling. It has a sharp contrast with a century-old store like "Shizhixuan". In Jia Sidao's opinion, such a rich store should be more antique. After all, it should have the feeling of "Ciyunzhai" on the Linhai Antique Street.

However, everything in front of you also made Jia Sidao feel that "Shi Zhixuan" is trying hard to accommodate more "stones". This shop seems to be a huge furnace, and it is fully accommodated by any stones.

"How about it, the old shop is still eye-catching?" Old Master Yang still looked like he smiled last night, looking very amiable. And naturally, Yang Siyi is indispensable around him. Seeing Jia Sidao looking at "Shi Zhixuan", he was also standing aside with a smile. His quiet appearance gave him a bit of intellectual beauty!

"If I hadn't heard of the 'Shi Zhixuan' in advance, I thought I had walked into a comprehensive museum about 'Shi Tou'." Jia Sidao replied with a smile.

"Haha, this is so interesting and tight." Old Master Yang made a call, and the three of them arrived at the reception room behind. The waiter quickly brought the tea. Looking at the old man's skillful movements, Jia Sidao imagined in his heart that yesterday, Yang Siyi also used tea to entertain himself. Was it because of the influence of Old Master Yang?

Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that a young and beautiful woman would use tea like Biluochun when she entertained guests.

The three of them had their own thoughts to taste the tea for a while, and Jia Sidao said, "When I came in just now, I saw that it seemed that the jade jewelry in the 'Shizhixuan' was not very big. Can Mr. Yang tell me a brief explanation? What is his thought about the jade industry?"

"This depends on your plan for me." Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "If me is planning to cooperate more intimately, our Shizhixuan will naturally put more time on the jade."

"Oh?" Jia Sidao's eyes couldn't help but go over, and he looked at Yang Siyi next to him in surprise. When the two of them touched each other, Yang Siyi was dodging and was about to lower her head, which made Jia Sidao's heart slightly warm. It seemed that Yang Siyi must have spoken a lot for her last night, right?

You should know that yesterday, although Yang Siyi agreed with Jia Sidao's statement that the two families can benefit from each other, he was quite hesitant in terms of attitude. At this moment, Mr. Yang suddenly changed his words, as if he had a strong intention to cooperate, which was undoubtedly beyond Jia Sidao's expectations.

However, in a blink of an eye, Jia Sidao calmed down his mood and could have figured out Mr. Yang’s plan.

One night is enough for Mr. Yang to investigate all his open family background clearly. Since he understands the strength of "green, fat, red and thin", then it is reasonable to cooperate with "Shi Zhixuan". Moreover, there is no major conflict in the business philosophy of both parties, and there will be no situation where one party is stronger and the other party is weak under normal cooperation.

After all, in terms of projects that the two parties cooperate, it is understandable that "Shi Zhixuan" is good at the bloodstone and "green, fat, red and thin" is good at the jade. Once the two parties have the intention to cooperate, the discussion on specific details will be much easier.

"Shizhixuan" wants to provide Jia Sidao with the best bloodstone material to provide the sales of bloodstone in "green, fat, red and thin". Of course, because the two parties are just cooperative, Jia Sidao cannot make his jade store sell bloodstones entirely. More just add the red color of bloodstones to his jade store.

Therefore, Jia Sidao would not rashly promote blood stones on the Internet and in various aspects such as his interpersonal relationships.

As for the "Shizhixuan", there are categories of things that you want to expand your business. Naturally, you will pay more attention to the sales of jade jewelry. Moreover, with the reputation and sales ability of the "Shizhixuan" store, it is really much more than Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" store.

Jia Sidao asked: "What kind of ratio should we achieve in the exchange of bloodstone and jade materials?"

This is also a question that Jia Sidao is more concerned about. If "green, fat, red and thin" only harvests a piece of chicken blood stone from "Shizhixuan" and has to divide ten pieces of jade material from his shop, no matter how you look at this cooperation, Jia Sidao is at a disadvantage.

"If you have any ideas about this, the little girl will talk to you." Mr. Yang coughed at this time, signaling that he was unwell and got up to take his leave first.

As long as there is no problem in the overall situation, the details are nothing more than the time of negotiation and the differences in profits between the two sides. Whether Mr. Yang is in charge here or not is not very important. However, in Jia Sidao's opinion, Mr. Yang is very strong. Is this a bit of a deliberate suspicion?

Looking at Yang Siyi's appearance, she actually secretly stuck out her tongue at Old Master Yang's back. Then, she sat up straight and faced Jia Sidao, ready to negotiate. Her serious and cold look actually had a different style in Jia Sidao's eyes!

Especially the secretly sticking out her tongue just now seemed so reckless, so surprising, and so reasonable. Perhaps, when in front of outsiders, a woman like Yang Siyi was more suppressing her nature. Only by Mr. Yang can she have such a manifestation of her nature.

Another woman involuntarily appeared in Jia Sidao's mind: Ji Yanran!
