Chapter 379
: Opening a good fortune
After saying goodbye to Boss Gong and coming out of the "Ciyunzhai" store, there were still a lot of people on the streets on Antique Street. Jia Sidao and A San no longer had the intention to stroll in other shops. They each took the things they collected and did whatever they should do. After that, A San said to Jia Sidao that the money Jia Sidao paid would take a while before he could get it back.
Jia Sidao just nodded lightly at this, as if everything was silent. However, after Jia Sidao returned to the "green, fat, red and thin" side, he was suddenly shocked by his mother.
There were a lot of things piled up on the counter that was originally empty. Jia Sidao glanced casually and could understand that these ten things must have come from the street stalls on the Antique Street, and most of them were fake goods at a glance.
"Mom, you made a big rush after I left, right?" Jia Sidao said helplessly.
"I'm just allowing you to go out to buy things. No, I should have collected some antiques. I'm not allowed to collect a few more. Son, come and help me see if these things are worth the money." The mother said with a smile, looking particularly enthusiastic. However, before she finished speaking, Xiaoqian and others walked out of the back. Jia Sidao saw that they were the people who accompanied her mother to visit the antique street today.
Seeing that the few of them looked at the counter with a slight look at the counter, and when they saw their mother's smile, Jia Sidao suddenly understood that these things might have been accepted by the group of young people in front of them? However, due to their age, they were not very easy to ask Jia Sidao. You must know that if Jia Sidao and A San had not had a certain relationship, and if they had a certain relationship in the antique industry, it would have to cost a lot of money.
At this time, Jia Sidao's existence, or they have been with Jia Sidao's mother for a day, and it is normal for Jia Sidao to help with the identification.
It’s just a few young people who usually make noises and don’t have much to see. But when they get to work or career, they seem a little shy. Just like Xiaoqian, who is usually not saying anything with A San and Jia Sidao, is very casual. But when it comes to her identity as a salesperson of "green, fat, red and thin", Xiaoqian still keeps her duties very much.
"You guys, come here." Jia Sidao's eyes swept over the young men and said with a smile, "You should have just accepted these things, right?"
"No." Xiaoqian saw Jia Sidao and saw it at a glance, and quickly explained, "There are a few items that were collected from the last few times, but we haven't figured it out yet."
"You guys!" Jia Sidao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, speechless at what Xiaoqian and others did, "What are you doing with me like this? Is it because my mother is not here today, and you are still going to stay at your home and wait for the right opportunity to come to me to ask?" Seeing Xiaoqian and others, they didn't know what to say for a while. Jia Sidao didn't care about their expressions and said directly, "I said, I've seen you have accepted a lot of things before, but why didn't you come to ask. I thought you were all looking for A San, but it turned out that they were all hiding. Why, Xiaoqian, are you afraid that all the things you accepted would be "snatched"?"
Jia Sidao and Xiaoqian are most familiar with each other, so they are naturally looking for Xiaoqian as a breakthrough now.
"It's not." Xiaoqian retorted. If she had been doing her usual words, she would have rushed over and slapped Jia Sidao's head. However, in the eyes of the antiques, Xiaoqian was really unconfident in her tone of saying this. She was just as she struggled to speak her neck, and she showed a very tough look, and then she became a little soft.
"Haha, I'll know if it's right after I've seen it." Jia Sidao didn't mind and said, "Come on, pick out the things that belong to you quickly, and I'll be generous in identifying the things you have first."
"Okay, okay." I don't know if Xiaoqian is sincere. Anyway, she was very excited to pull out two pieces from the pile of things, one of which was a jade piece. Jia Sidao looked at it and looked a bit like jade. The touch was pretty good when she got it, but it was not very good in texture.
When Jia Sidao was looking here, Xiaoqian's eyes remained on Jia Sidao's body, and she also noticed Jia Sidao's eyes, for fear that Jia Sidao would frown accidentally and feel that this jade artifact was not good.
"How is it, is it a real thing?" Xiaoqian asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Jia Sidao nodded. Before he could explain this, Xiaoqian jumped up with a 'yes' sound, jumping and waved his hand. It felt like a football player scored a goal on the court.
"Hey hey hey! I haven't finished speaking yet." Jia Sidao reminded Xiaoqian and said, "Do you still want to continue listening?"
"I want it, I want it." Xiaoqian quickly lit his head more like a chicken pecking at rice. That look made the smile on the corner of Jia Sidao's mouth stronger. At least, Jia Sidao was in this mood when he first entered this industry. He would not miss any opportunity to learn antique knowledge. Especially when targeted physical objects appeared, the mentality of wanting to find out the truth is even more urgent.
"You must have read a lot of jade and jade information. So, your move is quite suitable." Jia Sidao first praised Xiaoqian, "If you bought porcelain, coins, etc., I would like to remind you well. Of course, this jade carving ornament is not very good in terms of quality. In terms of carving, you should also see the name of it yourself, right?"
"Well, I just think the carving time of this thing is very good. I like it so I took it away." Xiaoqian's face was a little red, and she seemed to be very excited, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"If the price of the purchase is lower than this number, it would be considered a small leak." Jia Sidao gestured to Xiaoqian with a hand. Of course, this is different from the money unit on the side of "Ciyunzhai". There is 50,000 there, but by this time, it should be 500.
"Wow, Xiaoqian, then you have made a lot of money?" A young man next to him said with some envy, "I remember it was only 300 yuan when you took it."
"That's right, don't look at who I am." Xiaoqian's face became even more proud.
"You guys, I'm a little moved." My mother patted Xiaoqian's shoulder beside her and said something jokingly. She brought Xiaoqian to a sentence, "Auntie is not old." Then, the mother smiled even more, with joy on her face.
Jia Sidao was in a good mood. Even in order to make his mother happier, or to make her mother more comfortable with these young people, Jia Sidao thought that he should explain to them the things on the counter, right?
However, Xiaoqian's other collection is a very interesting stone. In terms of texture, Jia Sidao is certainly an ordinary stone, so there is no other value except for hiding and appreciating it. However, Xiaoqian was slightly disappointed.
After that, the other young people bought things, and Jia Sidao also picked up what he could be sure of and told them. As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, and there are very few people who pick up bargains. Except for Xiaoqian's jade, there is only a wooden carved box among the rest. The price given by Jia Sidao should be similar to the price he received, and it is a price that is neither losing nor winning.
The rest of the things are either fake at first glance, or the things are good, but the prices are fooled by antique vendors.
When the young people who were sending this group of young people left, the mother looked at Jia Sidao with a smile, but she didn't say anything, which made Jia Sidao feel a little embarrassed. Then the mother praised: "Is this still my son?"
The meaning of the words seemed to be that Jia Sidao felt a little unbelievable about what he had just talked about. Of course, the joyful meaning naturally flowed out of the corners of his mother's eyes made Jia Sidao feel quite relieved to see.
"If it's not your son, who else will it be?" Jia Sidao muttered with a smile. Then, he asked again, "Mom, have you seen it for a day today and haven't bought one to play with it?"
"I don't know much about it now. If I buy it today, it's going to be spending money randomly. Spending money randomly is not good." The mother said, "When I study here for a few days, I have some knowledge, so I'll see it later. By the way, son, what if my mother buys something and is cheated of someone in the future?"
Jia Sidao couldn't help but make a laughing and crying expression at his mother and said, "Others think they will get a bargain when they buy things. You can't do it before you take action, so you might as well not take action."
"That's right." The mother actually nodded and said, "Look, Xiaoqian and the others bought so many things just now, they are all worthless. I don't know how much money they will lose this day. It's such a waste."
"Well.——" Jia Sidao sighed, feeling that it would be better for him to stop talking nonsense with his mother. This is no longer a waste of time, but an escalation to a waste of feelings.
In the following days, Jia Sidao's life seemed to be unaffected by his mother's arrival. He was still busy in the storage room during the day and at night. He only returned to the villa when he was eating and sleeping.
Originally, Jia Sidao was worried about Zhou Sha because the shooting process was relatively simple on Saturday. If it was necessary to cut, you could go to Antique Street to take some photos on Sunday. However, Zhou Sha called in person and said that the final effect was very good, so Jia Sidao was so happy to be busy with his own affairs.
Jia Sidao's mother discussed a lot with her father. Jia Sidao did not know much about the specific situation. However, judging from her mother's performance towards Jia Sidao, her father's reaction should be relatively optimistic. Considering that Jia Sidao is eating outside alone, it is not conducive to her health over time. The mother thought that she was idle anyway, so she simply took over Jia Sidao's eating problem.
Whenever there is Chinese food and dinner, my mother would prepare the meal from the villa and wait for Jia Sidao to come back and eat together. Originally, Jia Sidao planned to go to the Antique Street some time in advance every day, take his mother to the villa, and then cook together.
However, my mother considered Jia Sidao's busyness and chose to take the bus by herself!
If it weren't for the fact that from the villa to Jia Sidao's storage room, there was no direct bus route, my mother would have prepared to deliver the prepared food to Jia Sidao. Regarding this, Jia Sidao and his mother had a stalemate, and in the end they had to agree. However, on the third day, on Monday, Jia Sidao made an appointment with A San, and Xu Zhiguo from the storage room, and began to gradually transport the finished jade products to the "green, fat, red and thin" side of the antique street.
On the way, at noon, my mother made a sumptuous lunch to reward Jia Sidao and others, which made A San and the others praise him! Afterwards, A San was wondering whether he should often go to Jia Sidao's villa to have a meal in the future?
And that kind of longing expression made Jia Sidao's heart burst.
Since meeting A San, Jia Sidao hasn't seen A San's parents yet. It is said that they are all busy outside. There are still many people in Zhejiang, especially in Taizhou, who have been doing business outside the country all year round. Jia Sidao thought that A San's parents should also belong to this group, right?
A San didn't say it himself, and Jia Sidao didn't ask much.
After patting A San's shoulder, Jia Sidao signaled Xu Zhiguo at a glance, and the three of them continued to work as porters. No matter what, although the three of them were in a relatively nervous mood during the transportation process, after all, they all looked like they were finished jade products worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions, and one piece was missing, but they were all a considerable loss. As for fatigue, it would not be enough.
In advance, A San and Xu Zhiguo knew that Jia Sidao's jade shop would definitely be of a certain level. In addition to some necessary medium and low-end products, there will inevitably be a lot of top-quality jade. However, when seeing the real thing and appearing in front of you, A San couldn't help but exclaim a few words, and even asked to play with it with it in person.
After that, A San sighed: "I am really looking forward to the scene on the opening day."
"I'm looking forward to it when you say this." Jia Sidao answered this way, and the thoughts in his mind seemed to be really as A San said, and he had already begun to imagine the scene when the business opened.
Time continues to walk quietly. With the perfect end of this year's Olympic Games, it seems that it has been given more festive colors on National Day. Although it is not comparable to next year's 60th anniversary, it also has a bit more proud feeling.
Jia Sidao has not yet paid attention to such a big event. The only thing Jia Sidao has to do is to welcome the opening of his jade store. Because it was Wednesday, the traffic on Antique Street was not very large. Jia Sidao did not make any special efforts to promote or otherwise.
As long as you are a person in the industry, you must have known it. As for those customers who like jade collection, it is not something Jia Sidao can take care of. Jia Sidao opens such a "green, fat, red and thin" jade store for long-term plans. Jia Sidao will not care too much about the temporary popularity, interests, etc.
My mother has become the busiest person. Not to mention some sorting before the opening, Jia Sidao and her mother were busy all night last night. Moreover, because the next step is to need my mother’s cashier. Jia Sidao reminded that today’s turnover will definitely not be small.
No matter what, among the people Jia Sidao knows, such as Wang Biao who came from the north, Liu Yufei who came from Guangdong, etc., they will not return empty-handed, from Jia Sidao's shop, that's indispensable. From the perspective of the two of them, can they choose the cheapest one?
In addition, Ji Yanran and Li Shiyun, the two women Jia Sidao was looking forward to, also arrived at the right time to congratulate them. A few days ago, Jia Sidao called them both. Originally, Jia Sidao planned to go to Hangzhou to pick up Li Shiyun. However, the arrival of his mother and the busyness of the last few days made Jia Sidao's idea weak.
Fortunately, Li Shiyun said understandingly on the phone: "At that time, I will go there by myself. There are so many things to be busy with when this store is opened."
Jia Sidao suddenly remembered that Li Shiyun was also the boss of "Shiyun Jewelry". In comparison, Li Shiyun caught up with Jia Sidao's senior. While speaking, Li Shiyun also gave Jia Sidao a lot of advice. For example, whether it is superstitious or not, Jia Sidao still needs to pay attention to a lot of things the day before the opening.
Especially the jade business, not to mention that it is comparable to the kind of incense burning and bathing and eating vegetarian food that some stone gambling experts are gambling stones and cutting stones, but they cannot stop it. So, one day before the opening, during the day, Jia Sidao was busy displaying all the finished jade products prepared, and then looked at his shop repeatedly, feeling that everything was ready, so he felt relieved.
At night, most of them were because my mother was worried, and she had to touch her and wash her. She was just half the night before she went to sleep. So, in general, Jia Sidao was still in good spirits after getting up early in the morning. Maybe it was because people were in good spirits when they were happy. Jia Sidao felt full of energy and did not feel nervous at all.
In addition, Li Shiyun also suggested on the phone that it would be a very good idea to hold some activities on the day of opening or the week before, such as choosing discounts appropriately. However, Jia Sidao had his own considerations. The purpose of opening a jade shop on Antique Street is not to be comparable to those jade jewelry shops in most shopping malls.
Jia Sidao didn't put too much thought on the price.
If the discount is precedent, then in Jia Sidao's opinion, it is undoubtedly a sign of belittlement of the value of jade produced by the whole "green, fat, red and thin". This phenomenon is not what Jia Sidao hopes to see. After expressing his thoughts very simply, Li Shiyun suggested that since there is no discount, then give me some small gifts during the opening period.
It is necessary to say or not. In terms of doing business, especially in grasping the hearts of customers, Li Shiyunyuan is much more mature and sophisticated than Jia Sidao.
Jia Sidao thought about it carefully and it was really like this. After all, most customers are still greedy for small gains, right? Although Jia Sidao did not think of his jade store, there was a constant stream of people, he could not let it be deserted and could not see a few people a day.
Therefore, Jia Sidao quickly agreed with Li Shiyun's proposal, but when he chose what to give, he made Jia Sidao's head bigger. It was the suggestion given by Li Shiyun, which could be divided into different grades. For example, if it was high-end, it would be that if you bought a finished jade product worth more than 100,000 yuan, you could get a small jade pendant worth several thousand yuan.
It will not generate too much load and can also make you happy, so why not do it?
Of course, if you buy a thousand-dollar jade jewelry and want a gift that is too expensive, it is a fool.
During the opening of the jade store, what made Jia Sidao most happy was not the arrival of the two beauties Li Shiyun and Ji Yanran. Even in the following time, Zhou Sha also came to congratulate him. Jia Sidao did not look very excited. He just received it in person, even if he had greeted him.
Others, such as Mr. Gong from "Ciyunzhai", came to congratulate many others. Even if he didn't come, he would send someone a congratulation. And there is no need to say more about the familiar friends like Uncle Zhou, Ali, A San, and Kang Jian who are "Zhou Ji".
Even Lao Yang and Xiao Liuzi came to congratulate each one by one.
Suddenly, my mother went there and pulled Jia Sidao and signaled to the crowd. Jia Sidao suddenly saw a familiar figure, which was a joy from the bottom of her heart.
Chapter completed!
