Chapter 385: Expansion

In the next few days, the sales situation in "green, fat, red and thin" was as Jia Sidao expected, and there was no big gap compared to when it opened on the first day. Just like Jia Sidao's jade shop, holding a "magnificent jade exhibition" in a small place like Linhai. Every day from morning to night, Xiaoqian became the busiest person. Later, Jia Sidao couldn't bear it, but instead found Ah San to help watch it together.

No matter how, you can't let a girl be fully responsible for the jade sales of a store, right?

"But, Xiao Jia, to be honest, I really admire you." As San responded to the customers, he said to Jia Sidao, "Look at the shops on Antique Street, which one has such a high popularity as you? It's not yet the weekend market. I'm really looking forward to how many people can be crowded in your shop by Saturday."

"I think it's probably not too many on Saturday." Jia Sidao looked at the abortion and said, "At least, it won't be much more than today."

"Hehe, that's right." Asan said happily, "No matter how many you have, your store can't hold it."

"Haha." Jia Sidao smiled faintly and let A San think about it. According to Jia Sidao's expectations, he could keep so many people coming to visit. Although it was very important because Jia Sidao's shop had a lot of top-quality jadeites. With the reputation on the first day of opening, jadeite enthusiasts from other places have been spread all the time these days, and Jia Sidao could hear it from their accents.

However, as this first wave of freshness passed, the traffic in the store will naturally tend to be a smooth state. There will not be so many people every day, right? On Saturday, although the traffic on Antique Street will increase, it is mainly composed of local people in Linhai. Many of these people have visited Jia Sidao's jade shop.

If you pass by the antique street and see that there are not many people in the jade shop, then it is also a good thing to stop and enjoy the best jade. However, if you see that there are many people on Saturday, then these customers who have seen the best jade will naturally not come to join in the fun. After all, Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" shops will not move. The best jade placed inside looks like this almost every day. When is it difficult to come and enjoy it, but instead join in the fun on Saturday?

On the contrary, many of the customers who came here came for the best jadeites such as the "Blood Jade Bracelet" and the purple-eyed "Twelve Zodiac Signs". Moreover, it is not only limited to the Linhai area, but there are many people who come from other areas in the province, even from Guangdong and Northeast China.

Because it follows the industry regulations, the general places where the best jade appears are not allowed to take photos as a souvenir. Unless you buy some jade jewelry in the "Green Fat Red Thin" store, the store will have a collection of top jade pictures specially made for you.

Even so, once the traffic of people increases, and nowadays, the shooting tools are becoming more and more advanced. They are no longer limited to cameras. For example, when a customer pretends to make a phone call, he has already photographed his "Purple Eyes" on his phone. Even if Jia Sidao specifically instructed the "security security personnel" brought by Lao Yang, he could not resist everyone's "sneaking" private methods.

So in the end, as long as it was not the kind of person who came to take photos openly, Jia Sidao let them take photos secretly. As long as it was not too much, it would be done. In this way, the news that the top jade appeared in Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" store was undoubtedly more real and more tempting.

It was within Jia Sidao's expectations that many customers from other regions could come.

However, the sudden appearance of customers in Guangdong and Northeast China made Jia Sidao smile a little on his face. On the afternoon of the opening, Liu Yufei and Wang Biao came to Jia Sidao to say goodbye to "green, fat, red and thin". However, Jia Sidao's original plan should have purchased a piece of jewelry to help Jia Sidao open the business, but it was not realized.

As the saying goes, experts will know if there is any one.

For jade merchants like Liu Yufei and Wang Biao, ordinary jade jewelry, whether in terms of carving technology or the texture of the jade itself, is really not in their eyes. After walking around Jia Sidao's shop, Wang Biao wanted the "blood jade bracelet", but Wang Biao did not speak.

With Wang Biao's identity and vision, he naturally understood very well that this "blood jade bracelet" has a meaning for Jia Sidao today, especially for "green, fat, red and thin". Even if he liked it tightly, he would have brought it up at this time. However, those small glass-type imperial green pendants made Wang Biao and Liu Yufei very satisfied.

"Do you two choose one?" Jia Sidao said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Yufei said unscrupulously, "If you think you don't charge us money, then I'll choose one without politely." As he said that, he also handed Jia Sidao a big roll of his eyes. Jia Sidao immediately smiled embarrassedly, and was speechless. These imperial green glass jade pendants, although not big, are expensive. If you want to give it to someone, Jia Sidao was really hesitant.

"Okay, I'm teasing you." Liu Yufei patted Jia Sidao's shoulder and said. "But, seriously, Xiao Jia, I'm really excited about the things you have here. And I didn't bring so much money here, what do you think you should do?"

"I don't have money to swipe my card." Jia Sidao would not be fooled by Liu Yufei.

"Okay, you're ruthless!" Liu Yufei said gritting his teeth, then pointed at a jade ornament that Jia Sidao had never expected in advance, but was reasonable. "I want it, tell me, how much is the price. Don't tell me, this thing is not a product."

"You really have a problem for me." Jia Sidao touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "You have seen it, there is no price on it, so naturally I am not going to sell it."

"I heard that this thing was carved by you?" Wang Biao said meaningfully on the side, "There are also the three carvings in the 'Twelve Zodiac signs', which should be the same as this jade ornament, from your hands, right?"

"It's true." Jia Sidao said. The jade ornaments that the two of them were looking forward to were the ones carved by Jia Sidao according to Li Shiyun's figure and figure. When Li Shiyun left, Jia Sidao had the idea of ​​giving it to Li Shiyun directly.

First, it can be regarded as repaying the debts owed in Jieyang; second, it can be regarded as the reward for the opening of Li Shiyun. However, Li Shiyun temporarily stored it on Jia Sidao's side in the name of the fact that this thing can increase the attractiveness of "green, fat, red and thin".

Jia Sidao was naturally happy to agree. After thinking about it carefully, it might be that Li Shiyun wanted Jia Sidao to deliver the things to Hangzhou in person? Or, it was just hinting that Jia Sidao could go to Hangzhou to find her after being busy!

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao's face couldn't help but feel annoyed. It seemed that after returning from Jieyang, he really didn't visit Li Shiyun in detail, right? No wonder he had some intentional and unquestionable hints.

However, Jia Sidao could only refuse Liu Yufei's proposal with a wry smile. The things that have been given out can continue to be sold? No matter how expensive this thing is, Jia Sidao will not be so poor that he will sell it, right?

"However, this thing has already belonged. Do you think you are choosing something else?" Jia Sidao couldn't help but change the topic and said, "Although the jade style here is not very representative, it is still unspeakable in terms of quality."

"This is the truth." Wang Biao summarized after looking at so many jade jewelry, "I have seen many jade shops. The quality here is the best in the industry. Moreover, the price is fair, which is slightly more than the ordinary market price. However, Xiao Jia, brother, I am here, and I would like to remind you. For you, your price is naturally a matter of how much you make. I think you won't care too much about this with your assets. However, others won't think so."

"Brother Wang means that he is worried that some other jade shops will come out to make trouble on purpose?" Jia Sidao said thinking.

"I don't know if it's a mess." Wang Biao said, "When doing business, if your jade store is doing well, people will inevitably be jealous. Wherever you put this kind of thing, it's the same. Their way of resistance is nothing more than price cuts, promotions, or joint cooperation to squeeze the products in your store."

"I have all expected these." Jia Sidao nodded and said. When discussing with A San, Jia Sidao had been worried about other jade shops, especially in Linhai area, there is also a 'Apocalypse Jewelry', which should not be underestimated. "However, I still want to thank Brother Wang for your reminder here."

"Haha, what I just said is all openly." Wang Biao said with a smile, "In secret, we still need to prevent some people from making trouble on purpose."

"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Jia Sidao asked.

"In this regard, just ask Brother Liu Yufei. Haha, he is in the south, and the competition over there is much bigger than the north of mine." Wang Biao pushed the question to Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei was not polite and said directly: "If I open a jade store in Linhai and have a certain foundation, I can't compete with you in high-end jade jewelry. I will start from low-end jade jewelry and damage the credibility of your jade store!"

"No?" Jia Sidao thought, as if there was no special credibility issue in his jade store, right?

"Hehe, don't believe it." Liu Yufei said insidiously, "You think, if I deliberately send someone to you to collect a jade jewelry, then take it back and make it old, or just fake it. In short, I don't see too many changes in appearance, but in fact it has been replaced with another thing. Then, I will take it back and ask you to compensate, what do you think you should do?"

"Of course I won't admit it." Jia Sidao said firmly. In this regard, he was not completely unprepared. For example, when selling, there were photos, invoices, appraisal certificates from the provincial capital, etc., it was for others to take advantage of this situation.

"It's your business that you don't admit." Liu Yufei said indifferently, "And, I dare to do this, and I don't intend to admit it. But if you come to make trouble, you can't admit it. What if there are ten or eight? You can also get some tabloid publicity for you. Or they just send a few experts to identify the authenticity of jade jewelry for those "deceived" customers. You said, no matter whether your store is wronged or not, at least, on the surface, many people will think that the jade jewelry in your store is not all genuine, right?"

"They dare!" Jia Sidao felt that the matter was a little tricky. "But, Brother Liu, maybe you don't know much about it yet. Why did I open my jade store on Antique Street?"

"Yes. I can't figure it out. Although there is some intersection between people who play jade and people who play antiques, there is no need to directly open the store here." Liu Yufei still doesn't agree with the location of the store here. "Look, it's better now. Linhai has no airport and no train station, just a bus station. The location of your jade store is good. The bus station is in the east of the city, and you drive to the west of the city. It's really convenient."

After saying that, Liu Yufei glanced at Jia Sidao, as if he was speechless about such a place.

"Hehe, then, do you know how strong and interpersonal relationships are required to open a shop on Antique Street?" Jia Sidao laughed out loud. Indeed, the traffic conditions of the jade shop are indeed not very good, and Jia Sidao himself also felt a headache for this. If you want to take off the plane, Jia Sidao didn't think about it anymore, and the train would probably not be opened to traffic in a year.

However, when Liu Yufei mentioned the possible methods of fouling dirty tricks in other jade stores, he suddenly felt that opening a jade store on Antique Street is actually a good choice. At least, no business in Linhai area dares to come to Antique Street to stir up the wind and rain?

‘Anti-Cream Street Store’, just relying on these five words, is a huge signboard!

After briefly explaining to Liu Yufei, the shops on Antique Street were basically grouped together. Liu Yufei had to sigh, just like in Jieyang, many of them are family-style industrial chains. There are always some special existences, right?

"Then what you want to buy?" Jia Sidao turned around and asked.

"Come on. Don't use those uncharacteristic things to enjoy us." Liu Yufei shook his head and said, "How about you, just carve a jade work for each of us. No matter what shape it is, as long as the material is bright green in glass or imperial green, you can do it. But, remember, you must do it yourself! And, remember, you need to have the skills shown above. Otherwise, don't blame us for not paying the money at that time."

"I'm wondering if you two have discussed this result before you come. You just deliberately spent me, right?" Jia Sidao came back a little.

"Hehe, if you think so, I have no objection." Liu Yufei said with a smile, "By the way, Xiao Jia, how many jade works are there in total? No matter how many of them are there in the future? I will bother you when I will trouble you."

"That's right. I should have the opportunity to use jade materials and ask Xiao Jia, you to carve them." Wang Biao responded on the side.

"Do you really think I am omnipotent?" Jia Sidao muttered angrily, "In the future, I will decide to increase the price of all jade works I carved by myself by 20%, no, 30%. After all, I am also a boss, right? I still have to add a little for the appearance fee."

"I think it is!" Unexpectedly, Jia Sidao's casual words attracted the idea that Wang Biao agreed with, and said, "And, Xiao Jia, you'd better control your works and the amount of circulating in the market."

"That's it." Not only Wang Biao agreed, but Liu Yufei nodded and said, "Not only in quantity, but also in quality, we must strictly control it. Don't carve jade materials with average quality in the future. As long as you get close to high-end jade jewelry, such as glass, it's the minimum. As for the color, it's better to be purer. For you, it's not difficult, but for you, you will always find that it's great benefit in the future. That, what are you doing when you look at me like this?"

Liu Yufei's hand gently stroked the air, as if he was slapping the strange gaze of Jia Sidao looking at him, muttering: "I tell you, I'm not interested in men! In the morning, Brother Wang and I walked around you briefly and realized that the carvings of these four jade jewelry were very unusual. I was wondering how could your subordinates have a carving master with this kind of craft? As a result, Brother Wang told me that this thing should have been carved by you myself."

Jia Sidao thought about it for a moment and understood. The glass-type imperial green Guanyin jade pendant he gave to Wang Biao's client for the first time was a carving method that was perceived by supernatural powers. He nodded immediately.

"So, Brother Wang and I were thinking about whether we could promote your strange carving skills." Liu Yufei thought about it, "Don't underestimate your carving skills. Brother Wang and I are in the jade industry, so we have some eyesight, right? We both are optimistic about things, how can we not be good?"

"Then should I be happy as the object of praise from you two?" Jia Sidao said with a smile.

"It's okay." Liu Yufei shrugged speechlessly and said, "Anyway, I've told you that. This time, you can give me a sample as soon as possible and let me take it back. This will add some persuasiveness."

"This is no problem." Jia Sidao is not a person who can't think about it. Moreover, he is very confident in the character of Liu Yufei and Wang Biao. If it is said that it would be quite difficult for Jia Sidao to carve the jade jewelry they requested on the same day as soon as possible.

In terms of jade carving technology, although Jia Sidao has unique supernatural perception help, he cannot reach an amazing speed, right? What's more, Jia Sidao has not mastered the polishing technology, and he still needs to rely on Xu Zhiguo's means.

"When I first started learning, I carved a few jade works." Jia Sidao said, "Although those jade jewelry cannot be compared with the best quality glass imperial green in the texture of the material selection. However, I can still see some traces of my carving."

"Haha, that's all." Wang Biao said, "Anyway, what we care about is your carving technique and the effect of carving. As for whether it is a top-quality jade material, for experts like us, you can infer the appearance of a replacement with a top-quality jade material by just taking a look. It's no big deal."

"That's it." Liu Yufei also responded and said, "If we want to collect it, we naturally need the best jade material. However, this is for others to see. The texture is slightly worse, and there are also bad benefits. At least, we don't have to be too careful when carrying it with us. Haha."

While Jia Sidao was a little ashamed, he also felt how relaxed and casual Liu Yufei and Wang Biao were feeling at this moment. Originally, Liu Yufei was going to stay and observe the process of Jia Sidao's carving. In Liu Yufei's words, he was still a little unbelievable that Jia Sidao could carve jade jewelry with unique effects by himself.

However, seeing the busy scene in "green, fat, red and thin", Liu Yufei could only temporarily let Jia Sidao go.
Chapter completed!
