"To make a finished product, it depends on the craftsmanship of the master carver before it is worth the price. This is because my brother-in-law is very lucky. If I were to explain, there might be nothing left."
Zhuang Rui smiled and complimented his brother-in-law, then handed the jade in his palm to his mother and asked them to pass it around.
Si'er and the others didn't know much about stone gambling. When they saw that two of the five stones revealed jade, they thought it was a common thing and didn't ask any more questions. However, if Song Jun or Fatty Ma were here instead, what would happen if Song Jun or Fatty Ma were here instead?
Even if Zhuang Rui died, he would not be able to analyze the stone on the spot.
Everyone was carefully looking at the glass imperial green jadeite. When they took it into their hands, they all looked like they were afraid it would melt if they held it in their mouths, or if they held it in their hands they were afraid of dropping it.
"Mom, I will find a jewelry store later and ask them to do some processing and make some jewelry. You, my elder sister, and my daughter will each have a share. Brother-in-law, don't look at me. I don't have any..."
Zhao Guodong unwrapped a piece of top-quality jadeite. He was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He suddenly listened to Zhuang Rui's words and was startled. He thought he had heard wrongly and immediately looked at Zhuang Rui.
"Xiao Rui, this... this is too valuable, isn't it? If you go out wearing this thing, wouldn't you be on tenterhooks all day long?"
Zhuang Min was also surprised when he heard this, but even though she said this, her eyes staring closely at the jade betrayed her. No woman would be unmoved after seeing such a beautiful jade.
Mother Zhuang shook her head and said: "Xiao Rui, just use this jade to make some items for Xiao Min and Nannan. Mom is old and doesn't wear these things anymore."
"That won't work. Each of you has to have one. Mom, just don't worry about it."
Although in Zhuang Rui's impression, his mother never wore these things, it didn't mean that his mother didn't like them. From the way Zhuang's mother looked at this piece of jade just now, Zhuang Rui could tell that she had always been interested in these external objects.
My mother, who was very calm, was also tempted.
"Okay, let's make a Buddha statue pendant. Wear it under your clothes so it won't be so ostentatious."
The next words of Zhuang's mother almost made Zhuang Rui stumble. He said he didn't want this just now, but now he has even thought about what to do. It seems that the attraction of this jadeite to women is not ordinary, and it is indiscriminate.
Age, old and young are all killed.
After putting the jade in his pocket and tidying up the gravel in the garage, Zhuang Rui drove his mother and elder sister to pick up his daughter. Zhao Guodong and his apprentice also returned to the repair shop. During this period, they repaired
The factory's business is good, but it has been delayed for most of the day today.
After picking up Nannan, Zhuang Rui drove the car directly to the area with the largest concentration of car markets near Jinshan District.
"Huh? We also have a 4S store here?"
From the side of the road, Zhuang Rui saw a car dealership with a 4S sign on it, and the exterior walls on three sides were built with floor-to-ceiling glass. The decoration was simple and clear, and it was very grand, so he parked the car.
"Hello, sir, welcome to the Volkswagen 4S store. How can I help you?" As soon as we entered the door, a lady wearing a cheongsam came up to us.
After hearing her words, Zhuang Rui was surprised. The 4S store he saw in Nanjing had all kinds of car models, and the entire car grocery store. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the regular 4S store had already opened
It's started to drive. It seems that the automobile consumer market has become booming.
"Let's take a casual look first. If you have any good models, you can introduce them to us."
This 4S shop is set up like a leisure hall. Among the three or five sample cars, there is a glass coffee table and a few chairs. There are some information on the coffee table. There are many people looking at the cars today, and they are talking to the dealer.
Like Rui and others, there were mostly three or four people, and a few children were running around in the store.
"Mom, please take a rest, we can just go and see it."
Zhuang Rui knew that his mother usually took a nap in the afternoon, so he found a seat where no one was and asked his mother to sit there, while someone immediately brought a few cups of tea.
"Sir, we have just purchased the latest Volkswagen Passat here. It is a very good mid-range car in China and is very suitable for family use. It is most suitable for a family of three like you. And the white one is
The car is also very suitable for your wife to drive."
When the car sales lady was standing at the door just now, she saw Zhuang Rui driving in a Grand Cherokee, and knew that it was the lady next to him who wanted to buy a car.
It’s just that her words made Zhuang Rui dumbfounded. What the hell is this? He smiled bitterly and said: "This is my sister, and that is my niece. She is not a family of three. By the way, buying a car from you has all the relevant procedures."
Is it an agent?"
The car sales lady stuck out her tongue, and when she saw that Zhuang Rui was not really angry, she cautiously replied: "Sir, please don't worry, we will take care of all the things like getting the license plates for the cars you buy from us.
There are no additional fees other than the necessary expenses for vehicle management.”
Zhuang Rui nodded, looked at Zhuang Min, and said, "Sister, what do you think? This white Passat is very suitable for women to drive, and it is not ostentatious."
Zhuang Min opened the car door and got in. She felt quite satisfied. She just came out and looked at the relevant configuration and price of the car. She immediately shook her head. It was more than 260,000 yuan, which was much higher than her psychological price.
"Xiao Rui, let's go take a look at the Jetta. I heard that car is also pretty good."
"Let's just go with the Passat. The space in the Jetta is too small and it's not very comfortable to sit in."
Zhuang Rui could see that the elder sister was very satisfied with the car, so Zhuang Rui made the decision.
"Oh, oh, mom also has a car to drive..." The little girl excitedly got in through the car door that Zhuang Min opened, saying she didn't want to get out.
"Okay, let's get the car purchase contract. Sister, you sign the contract with them and I'll pay the payment. I have other things to do later."
Zhuang Rui's casual attitude made the car sales lady secretly smack her tongue, and she quickly called a few colleagues over to help. There were usually a lot of people looking at cars, but not many people decided to buy them the first time they came. Like
People like Zhuang Rui who are young and wealthy are even rarer.
"By the way, the car I bought out of town hasn't been registered yet. Can you do it for me here?"
When he walked to the payment desk, Zhuang Rui asked. Originally, it would be most convenient to leave this matter to Liu Chuan, but that guy is in Shaanxi now and will probably not come back for more than a week. Anyway, his sister's car needs to be registered.
Zhuang Rui wanted to do it together.
"Yes, as long as you have the car purchase invoice and related procedures, we can help you handle it for you. We only charge a small agency fee. And you can also choose to do future maintenance with us."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhuang Rui paid the full amount by swiping his card. As for the insurance and other matters, he asked his sister to handle it. He returned to his car, took out the car purchase procedures, handed it to the car dealer, and asked them to
Go help with the listing.
After handling these matters, we still had to wait for more than an hour to pick up the car. After Zhuang Rui told his sister to be careful when driving back, he left first.
Driving to the downtown road, Zhuang Rui saw a sign on the side of the road, his eyes suddenly lit up and he parked the car.
The signboard of "Shitou Zhai" hangs on the door of the store, with white characters on a red background. The writing is in the style of official script, which is rough, steady, solid and compact, giving people a strong classical charm and making people feel like they want to find out.
This is a shop that specializes in jade. It has been open in Pengcheng for many years. Zhuang Rui has visited it before, but he was short of money at that time. He could only feast his eyes on the exquisite jewelry that often cost tens of thousands.
.
Entering the store, you are faced with a booth about one meter high, on which is placed a sailboat entirely carved from jade, which symbolizes smooth sailing.
There were not many customers in the store. Zhuang Rui took a look at several counters. Most of the jade jewelry here were made of mid-range materials, mainly earrings, rings, pendants, and a few pairs of bracelets. However, the prices were not cheap.
After a quick glance, Zhuang Rui realized that those jewelers who dared to increase prices on jadeite raw materials had a purpose.
"Hello, sir, what kind of jade do you want to buy? I can help you introduce it. Our Shitou Zhai products are designed with "mystery, sweet dreams, joy" as the main design line, which can make you have a spiritual romance and return to nature.
, return to the natural real stone experience!”
Wu Jia had been paying attention to this customer for a long time. Judging from his behavior after entering the door, he didn't look like a customer, because when he was observing the jade stones, his eyes showed more judgment and disdain.
Zhuang Rui came back to his senses after hearing the words, and saw a girl with a round face, a sweet smile, and wearing store clothes looking at him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm not here to buy jade, but do you have any here?"
No valet processing? I have the raw materials myself and want to process a few pieces of jewelry."
In the early years, people often set up stalls on the side of the road to buy and manufacture gold and silver jewelry. However, they can no longer be seen in recent years. Zhuang Rui came here to try his luck. An old store like this has been open for more than ten years. Generally,
Everyone will have their own jade-carving master.
"Processing on behalf of customers?"
Wu Jia was stunned for a moment. She took over the management of this store after graduating from college. It has been three or four years now, and this is the first time she has heard someone make such a request.
"Sorry, we only sell finished products here and do not process them for customers."
Wu Jia was telling the truth. Although her grandfather sometimes helped others carve some objects, those people were either friends or regular customers. She didn't know whether she should take the business, so she subconsciously refused.
"That's it, then I'm sorry to bother you..." Zhuang Rui was a little disappointed, turned around and left.
"Hey, wait a minute, what kind of jewelry do you want to make? Can I see your materials?" When meeting such a customer for the first time, Wu Jia was inevitably a little curious.
