Chapter 413 An unexpected business road

Regardless of whether Jia Sidao's analysis is correct or not, because of Jia Sidao's invitation, Mr. Zhang, who finally sat in the seat where Jia Sidao, A San and Yang Fan, was at the three of them. After listening to the conversation between the three, he said with a wry smile: "Xiao Jia, you shouldn't mind if I call you that, right?"

Seeing Jia Sidao nodding, Mr. Zhang continued, "Since you don't even know the authenticity of such a Tianhuangshi seal, why do you still have to participate in the auction in violation of regulations when you are 'fighting treasure'?"

"This," said Jia Sidao, when facing Mr. Zhang, he was still a little worried. After all, it was Jia Sidao's fault. "I can only say that it was my mood at that time. It was just a mood. When I looked at the Tian Huangshi seal on the display stand, it seemed as if it was calling me to take it back. I think, as an insider, Mr. Zhang must be able to understand my mood at that time, right?"

Mr. Zhang looked at Jia Sidao without any objection.

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang and I met by chance, and there was absolutely no other thought except respect." Jia Sidao continued to explain, "And, Mr. Yang said just now that in private, if I can help, please speak as long as possible."

"Help, there is nothing special to worry about." Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and shook his head. Jia Sidao and A San couldn't help but look at each other, but they also discovered the doubts in each other's eyes. At the age of the elder, when facing a young man like Jia Sidao and A San, even if there were any difficulties, they would probably not say it outright?

Jia Sidao couldn't help but give Yang Fan a questioning look, but Yang Fan's eyes turned and said, "Maybe Xiao Jia, you can really help. No, you should be sure to help."

As if to prove his guess, the voice between Yang Fan and Jia Sidao was very small. It was originally discussed about Mr. Zhang, but he would definitely not hear it at this time. You must know that the atmosphere of the entire birthday party venue was quite lively. In terms of noise, it was naturally more chaotic.

"Xiao Jia, you may not know what Mr. Zhang does?" Yang Fan said cautiously. While saying that, Yang Fan also looked at Mr. Zhang. At this moment, he was frustrated.

"What are you doing?" Jia Sidao only knew that the other party's love for Tian Huangshi seal should be an insider, but he didn't know much about it. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Yang Fan's explanation at the beginning, Jia Sidao didn't pay much attention to who had pushed the price of Tian Huangshi seal to a hurdle of more than 9.5 million. Even so, looking at Yang Fan's quite proud expression, Jia Sidao still guessed, "Is it the one who runs the jade business?"

"Hehe, what do you think?" Yang Fan asked back.

"If I were running a jade business, I could really help." Jia Sidao thought, if there were other types, Jia Sidao could do nothing even if he knew about it. But if it was a jade business, Jia Sidao felt that it would be easy to pay off the favor that Mr. Zhang had just given up. So, as if to confirm Yang Fan's explanation, Jia Sidao quickly asked Mr. Zhang himself.

He also vaguely revealed: "If one day I have the opportunity to do business with Mr. Zhang, then I will definitely give Mr. Zhang a little more profit."

This can be regarded as Jia Sidao's compensation to Mr. Zhang in private.

"Oh?" Mr. Zhang seemed a little surprised. He was undoubtedly full of surprise at how Jia Sidao could say such words. "So, Xiao Jia, you have a big business yourself? Oh, by the way, until now, I don't know what business you are doing. I'm really sorry."

"Haha, it's okay!" Jia Sidao naturally wouldn't mind.

Not to mention that Mr. Zhang is not from Lin'an, even though he comes from Lin'an, Jia Sidao is in Linhai. The two place names are not much different, but they are still half a day's drive away. It is reasonable for others not to know about it.

Of course, this has something to do with Jia Sidao's jade store just opened. If the business grows bigger and takes a long time, it's like Mr. Yang's "Shi Zhixuan", and his fame will naturally be sold out. "At present, I'm just running some jade business. A while ago, I just opened a jade store, and it's pretty good in business."

"The jade shop is good." Mr. Zhang sighed, "I also run a jade shop, and I have been doing most of my life. However, if I don't have a few treasures that I can get, it's not easy to spread in business."

"Yes, yes." Perhaps it was the point that Jia Sidao felt that he and Mr. Zhang suddenly had more words. "However, I think that the most important thing in opening a jade store is to look at the overall level of jade jewelry. That is, the positioning of the jade jewelry he sold before opening a store."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Mr. Zhang asked curiously.

"For example, your positioning is for high-end jade collection enthusiasts, then what your customers need is naturally the best jade jewelry." Jia Sidao said, "and if you want to occupy the mass market, the jade jewelry in your jade store will definitely not be too expensive."

This simple business philosophy is definitely worse than Mr. Zhang. However, Jia Sidao is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. Speaking of which, it is also a little bit. Not to mention that it makes Mr. Zhang stunned. At least, from the bottom of his heart, Jia Sidao is still very honest, and most of what he says is his own true thoughts!

It was precisely because he saw Jia Sidao's confidence that Mr. Zhang's eyes seemed to be getting sharper at the end. He also looked at Jia Sidao's expression and became much more exciting. He asked: "I wonder if there is anything wonderful about me that I can be lucky enough to feast my eyes?"

Jia Sidao looked at Mr. Zhang's eyes and hesitated for a long time. Suddenly he remembered what Yang Fan said just now and could not help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, is it your jade store, what trouble is there?"

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise and asked, "How can I see it?"

"First of all, I just learned that Mr. Zhang, you are in the jade business." Jia Sidao said, "In this way, when you are in the 'Tao Dou', it is reasonable that you can bid 9.58 million."

Otherwise, how could ordinary people be so unafraid of bidding when they are collecting things they like? Sometimes, it takes capital to like something. For example, it is for diamonds. If there are more people who like it, not everyone can get exquisite and huge diamonds. If you like something and collect something, no matter what you like, you must start from your own financial ability.

It does not mean that people without money cannot like to collect. Rich people have the way of collecting wealth, and poor people have the preferences of collecting poor people. Just as there are top auctions and ordinary antique streets. Perhaps, at the beginning, Jia Sidao fell in love with porcelain because of the fun of collecting between ordinary alleys and streets.

"Secondly, I think Mr. Zhang, your demeanor should be at least a member of the Jewelry and Jade Association?" Jia Sidao said with a guess, "Because once people in this industry reach your age, apart from your reputation in business, most people will place a name in the association."

"Haha, my friend, you can see it openly." Mr. Zhang did not deny Jia Sidao's guess.

For a moment, Jia Sidao's confidence increased a little, and then said, "I'm not old yet. If I were like me and I had squeezed into the Jewelry and Jade Association, wouldn't this title be too valuable?"

"This is probably something," said Mr. Zhang. "To put it bluntly, it depends on your family's assets. If your jade store is developed large enough and has enough influence, even if you are a few years younger and you are unwilling to go to the Jewelry Association, there will probably be someone who will take care of you and ask you to go."

"It seems that my jade store is not big enough." Jia Sidao sighed inwardly.

"Xiao Jia, you're going to be like standing and talking without a pain in your back." A San said with some dissatisfaction, "If I had the results you have like this, I would have been so happy that I would have been unable to find the side. How could I stand here and say sarcastic words like you."

"I said A San, this is the difference between you and Xiao Jia." Yang Fan teased A San unpretentiously and said, "If not, why is Xiao Jia open a jade shop now, and you are the only one watching you enviously? Hehe, I'm thinking about it, it's still a matter of your character."

"You are just a matter of character." Asan muttered, "You have good character, why don't you open a jade shop?"

Suddenly, Yang Fan was speechless. After all, he seemed to have forgotten that he could tease A San here. In comparison, if the family factors were excluded, he might not be as good as A San. For a moment, Yang Fan could only smile bitterly and stop talking awkwardly.

On the contrary, Mr. Zhang looked at the jokes of A San and others, and the smile on his face became strong. The previous depression disappeared without a trace in an instant. Being with young people, especially with a group of young people who like to joke, even at Mr. Zhang's age, would he feel that he is much younger, right?

"It seems that this is my old man. He is old and old, it's useless." Mr. Zhang sighed, and the traces of the years on his face seemed even more clear in an instant.

"Mr. Zhang, you are from a jewelry family." Yang Fan had to stand up and encourage the old man at this time, "At present, your jade store is still operating a jewelry and jade business. The profits are also very good. Otherwise, you would not have the mood to bid more than 9 million to buy a Tianhuangshi seal in the "Treasures" stage, right? It's just that in recent times, your store's main sales project, has encountered some difficulties in purchasing jadeite. As long as you overcome this hurdle, your jade store still has great prospects."

"Beijing?" Jia Sidao muttered, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zhang's jade shop was opened in Beijing.

"Oh, that's right." Mr. Zhang said, "Beijing, such a place, although it sounds good, it's still the capital. But the competition there is no match for some other small stores. If you are not careful, you will be squeezed out by more and more powerful businesses, and you will never be able to recover."

"Oh? Mr. Zhang, with your interpersonal relationships, if you can't afford it in Beijing, I wonder if your jade store has encountered snipers from other merchants in terms of the supply of goods?" Jia Sidao's thoughts returned to the way he helped Mr. Zhang analyze his situation just now. "I'm afraid that this time you came to Zhejiang, you also have the idea of ​​finding a reliable source of jade jewelry?"

"But if you want to find the source of jade jewelry, shouldn't you go to Guangdong?" A San asked in confusion, "You know, most of the jade jewelry in Zhejiang are also from Guangdong and Yunnan."

"You are A San, you are thinking a lot." Jia Sidao replied, "If you can purchase goods from Guangdong and Yunnan, how could there be problems with Mr. Zhang's jade jewelry? If I were a competitor of Mr. Zhang, once I started to take action, I would definitely take action from Guangdong and Yunnan."

For a jade shop like Mr. Zhang, which is more famous, only by grasping the source of goods and destroying it can it be a fatal blow. Otherwise, just competing in the jade sale process, no matter how strong the merchants are, it is impossible to kill Mr. Zhang’s jade shop!

It’s like Jia Sidao’s ‘green fat, red and thin’ jade store. Although other merchants are jealous, they have no choice.

First, the things that Jia Sidao sells are indeed genuine, and even slightly lower than the ordinary price on the market, which makes people unable to find any faults; second, the place Jia Sidao chose in Linhai, antique street, and it has indeed become a protective umbrella for Jia Sidao's interpersonal relationships; and the most important thing is that Jia Sidao's gambling stones to carving jade materials were all carried out independently.

Even if others want to suppress it, there is no chance.

For example, it is Yang Qi's "Tianqi Jewelry Company". If Yang Qi himself hadn't participated in the gambling ranks, even if it was in a small place like Linhai, he would have a long-term foothold.

"I came to Zhejiang this time, and I really want to negotiate the supply of jade jewelry with some bosses here who carved jade jewelry." After hearing Jia Sidao's words, Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "It's a pity that the negotiation was not successful."

"Why did Mr. Zhang choose to come to Lin'an?" Yang Fan asked curiously. You should know that Lin'an only has bloodstone, but there will be no large number of jade jewelry. What's more, what Mr. Zhang is looking for is also a company that can provide jade jewelry in a long-term and stable manner.

If there was such a company in Lin'an, "Shi Zhixuan" would not have planned to cooperate with Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin".

"Haha, the first stop I went to is naturally not Lin'an." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "but Yangzhou. Then, I went to Changshu, Shanghai and other places and found many jade shops and companies. However, the situation was not as good as I predicted. A small amount of jade jewelry could still be purchased, but it made me feel unsatisfied in terms of quality and quantity. I met an acquaintance in Hangzhou, saying that an old friend in Lin'an was about to celebrate his birthday. I thought that it was not bad for the past few days, so I came to join in the fun."

"So, it is really a very destined thing to meet Mr. Zhang in Lin'an." A San gave Mr. Zhang a glass at the right time. Not to mention that many friendships were achieved at the table, at least, which made the atmosphere between the few people more harmonious.

"Xiao Jia, you just said that you run a jade shop." Mr. Zhang said to Jia Sidao, "You roughly know my situation. In the jade market in Beijing, medium and low-end jewelry is not the focus of my business. As long as I can occupy a certain seat among high-end jewelry, those ordinary customers will not be lost in large quantities."

After all, the most important thing about a jade store is its store treasure! Especially for jade stores that take the high-end market route, if there is no high-end jade jewelry in the store, how can we invade the market?

"So, I won't go around in circles." Mr. Zhang paused and said, "Xiao Jia, can you tell me who will be my best partner in Zhejiang? I refer to high-end jade jewelry."

After asking, Mr. Zhang felt relieved. Perhaps in the recent days, the repeated failures in the negotiations have put him under great pressure. To be able to come to Lin'an, the face of an old friend is one aspect, and coming here to relax is probably Mr. Zhang's real purpose.

However, when Mr. Zhang looked at Jia Sidao, A San and others, he found that the three young faces were all strange. Especially A San and Yang Fan, they actually felt like they wanted to laugh secretly. Mr. Zhang immediately recalled his words. Could there be any omissions?

But, not!

Mr. Zhang carefully filtered the words he had just said in his mind, but in the end he couldn't find an answer. He could only think about whether he was old and had a generation gap between talking with the young people in front of him?

But A San on the side couldn't help saying: "Mr. Zhang, it seems that you have come to Lin'an this time to be considered as the right place."

"Oh? What do you say?" Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this! It seemed that A San's words gave him a little surprise.

"Let me tell you this. If you came to Zhejiang a few months ago, I can tell you with confidence that a small amount of jade jewelry, whether high-end or low-end, can be made back as long as you can spend a lot of money." A San said with a smile. Although he did not know much about the jade industry, he still knew the general situation of jade jewelry in Zhejiang. At least, there are jade jewelry for sale in the "Weekly Diary".

Most of the jade shops here really buy directly from Guangdong and Yunnan. Not to mention Zhejiang, jade shops in other places across the country are the same.

There are very few people like Wang Biao who own large jade processing workshops. Even if there are, they are all self-produced and sold. Just like Jia Sidao! They have a jade processing factory and have opened another jade store.

Sometimes, it is Uncle Zhou in the "Zhouji" who can cut out good jade materials after cutting out the stones, he will polish a few jade jewelry by himself.

However, that’s all for fun. It’s impossible to form long-term and stable cooperation with other businesses!

Only Jia Sidao, who has a large amount of jadeite raw stones, jade materials, and several fixed jade carving masters under his command. When it was sold, he could only have a large amount of jade jewelry evenly when he was only a small jade store.

This is also the reason why A San thought about Mr. Zhang going to Zhejiang to find a source of goods at the beginning.

"And now, Mr. Zhang, the partner you want to cooperate with is far away from the sky and near in front of you?" As San said, pointing at Jia Sidao specifically.

"Xiao Jia?" Mr. Zhang was obviously a little stunned for this answer. It was about a moment before the old man sighed, "It's really awesome for young people."

Listening to A San's tone and Jia Sidao's expression, Mr. Zhang would not think that the young people in front of him were fooling him. Although I don't know yet what the scale of the jade shop behind Jia Sidao is. In the jade industry, there are some tricks, but it is certain.
