Because buying large items is more expensive, Hong Yanwu not only regarded jade factories and ivory factories as his main targets, but also targeted jewelry factories and jewelry factories as a target to fill his spare time.
It’s not that the jewelry is small in size, he feels that the price of buying these items must be much cheaper.
In fact, he can't buy other people's products at all, because up to now, gold and silver jewelry is not allowed to be sold internally.
To talk about the real reason, he actually heard from many people in the industry that these factories had collected a lot of good stuff for the money of three melons and two dates in extraordinary years.
His purpose is to count these as old foundations of handicrafts
For example, the deputy director of the Jade Factory in Beijing once told him at the wine table that he had seen with his own eyes all kinds of gems, jade, jade, and turquoise in the jewelry factory.
The variety and quality of those things are quite good, and there are thousands of them.
What impressed him most was that one of the colorless sapphires actually weighed 200 carats and was as big as a child's fist.
It would be great if it were embedded in jade pieces.
Originally they wanted to buy some and make a "Shippo Tree" themed bonsai.
Unfortunately, the jewelry factory was unwilling to sell this "white treasure" (note: another name for colorless and transparent sapphire), and the price for another 60-carat chrysoberyl was too high, offering a high price of 12,000 yuan.
.
They couldn't afford it, and eventually the matter fell through.
Now that I think about it, it’s a shame I didn’t buy it. Otherwise, how much would the production cost include the main ingredients and other gems?
No one can afford it...
Whether the deputy factory director’s argument is correct or not, let’s not discuss for the moment.
Let's just say that we have this information, so how can Hong Yanwu not be so cunning?
Just like that, this guy looks like an African hyena.
Not long after, he also ran to someone else's jewelry factory with the "**" plan.
It was an old house with two courtyards.
But regardless of whether it is a building or a bungalow, in the past, when you entered the factory, you would definitely see the reception room, and there would be an uncle guarding the door. This would not be an exception.
After Hong Yanwu went there, he didn't know anyone, so he could only register and fill out a form in the communication room, and first said that he would go to the business department.
After filling out the form, he went in without turning around and asked, "Sir, what's your surname?"
The uncle said his surname was Zhao.
Okay, remember, and say again, "Uncle Zhao, please forgive me." Only then can we leave.
After entering the door and running around, he met another person carrying a thermos in the yard. Hong Yanwu opened his mouth and asked, "Sister, let me ask you, where can I go to the business department?"
The eldest sister gave me directions and said, "Go in, then turn a few corners, and you will arrive when you see the Moon Gate. There is a writing on the door."
Seeing that she was too lazy to say anything, she turned to leave. Hong Yanwu quickly asked, "Sister, what's your surname?"
This person said his surname was Liu.
Okay, remember it, then go inside.
When I found the house, I opened the door and went in. When I saw Hong Yanwu, I had to ask, "Master, what is your surname?"
This person who calls himself "Zhang" turns out to be Master Zhang.
Of course it is followed by another sentence, "Let me ask you, who is in charge of this business department?"
"You ask our section chief, his surname is Fang, section chief Fang."
Hong Yanwu hurried over and came out after chatting with the section chief.
The section chief asked his subordinates to bring out some gadgets for him to see, but they were nothing of special value.
It doesn't matter! You can't sell gold or silver to him, so it's basically jade, ordinary gemstones, and some non-gold and silver jewelry.
So Hong Yanwu looked back and forth, but his mind was not on this.
Instead, they were talking to this person and that person in the room.
They offered cigarettes to each one, and asked each person their last name. They were very sweet-mouthed.
After looking around, we became familiar with each other, and probably had an impression of each other, so we bought some small things and came out.
After I came out, I quickly took out my pocket, not to read anything. Instead, while I was deeply impressed, I took out the pen and paper I brought and wrote down the names and circumstances of these people one by one. I could remember them.
I came back in a few days. From the moment I walked in, I started shouting "Uncle Zhao", "Sister Liu", "Master Zhang", and "Chief Fang".
In the entire business department, no one he had ever called was wrong. He remembered all their last names.
Then can these people not kiss him when they see him?
You must know that everyone has the need to seek recognition and closeness in society.
A person who has only been there once can actually remember other people's last names clearly and address them accurately without stumbling. He can also remember what they said once and continue chatting with them.
This makes people feel a kind of respect, and they feel that they are valued by others, and of course they feel happy.
It's really more beautiful than Hong Yanwu giving him a pack of cigarettes. He can just give Hong Yanwu cigarettes to smoke. Even if he's not from this department, he can chat with Hong Yanwu in the business department.
This is the effect of Hong Yanwu Yao.
Of course this time will be different from last time, and it will be time for this kid to make a fortune.
After reading those things, Hong Yanwu said directly to him, "Chief Fang, you think we are acquaintances, can you give me something good to look at? I have foreign exchange coupons..."
"Oh, I didn't like it! It doesn't matter if I didn't like it..."
Sister Liu from the factory office immediately took over as her replacement.
"Hey, Lao Fang, I told you to take out the things in your cabinet and show them to others."
Some people in the business department said, "Sister, those things are high-grade treasures. They are specially for foreign guests to see. Isn't this appropriate?"
Hey, I didn't expect that there would be internal strife again.
Master Zhang also helped. "What's that? Didn't you hear? They also bring foreign exchange coupons. Who is selling them? Section Chief Fang, what do you think?"
Good guy, many people spoke for Hong Yanwu. A different kind of herd effect was formed.
As a result, Section Chief Fang nodded and completely "opened the door".
The houses in this area are relatively old and shabby. The rooms are not very bright.
I opened the safe and took out the contents. I was afraid that I couldn't see clearly, so someone took the initiative to check it out again and said, "Move here, move here."
Move the things under the window, then spread the white cloth and put the gems, emeralds, and tourmalines on it.
Even though it was only part of it, the whole atmosphere in the room immediately changed.
Because there is a word called "bejeweled", which is no joke.
They were all top-notch jewelry, spread out on a table, and even the color of the room changed.
Hong Yanwu was not polite now. He started to pick, and after he finished picking, he asked, "How much did it cost?"
There is no exact price for those items, they all have to be marked up temporarily.
Section Chief Fang looked at him and said, "These are all pretty good things for you to choose from. This one, maybe 1,600."
More interesting things will come out later.
As soon as Hong Yanwu asked out of habit if it could be cheaper, everyone in the room spoke up for him, and there was no one who didn't speak up for him.
Anyone who doesn't speak for him will be stared at by others.
Sister Liu also said bluntly, "It's not easy for me. Hurry up and give me some relief."
Section Chief Fang was dumbfounded and asked, "How much reduction?"
"One thousand, let's put it together, don't go to so much trouble. What do you think?"
Okay, come on, the people in the jewelry factory sold the treasures they saved back then at such a low price.
Not to mention how many years have passed. Once you get out of the house, this thing won’t be worth the same price.
Hong Yanwu was so happy. He ran home and did nothing else. He first showed it to his mother.
This time the show off succeeded.
Just look at how green this jadeite is, right? As long as a person's face is close to it, his face will be green.
According to Wang Yunlin, the texture is almost the same as her flat piece.
The old lady was even more amazed when she saw the tourmaline and said it was called "double peach red".
He also said that the Hong family used to have some nice pieces of tourmaline handles and rings, similar in color to this one, and each piece was worth three or four gold bars.
This piece of yours is enough to be used as a decoration, and it is bigger than those several pieces put together. It is rare! Keep it well!
Wang Yunlin's words are indeed correct, because in far away Xiangjiang, the few mid-Qing tourmalines she mentioned are currently at auction, and have just been sold for HK$540,000.
But Hong Yanxiong, the second son of the Hong family, who stole these things from home, was thinking: Fortunately, the hole owed by Macau has finally been closed. Maybe the remaining money is enough to spend.
A few days.
Perhaps, this is a normal state in the world.
Where there is good there is bad, where there is entry there is exit, where there is prosperity there is decline...
