Chapter 386: One hundred million orders

Looking at the jade store, some jade collectors coming from Guangdong and jade merchants coming from Northeast China, Jia Sidao couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Liu Yufei and Wang Biao in his heart. Speaking of which, if it were not for the help of them, Jia Sidao thought that customers so far away would not have had such a quick news to come to Linhai, right?

You should know that although Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin" is relatively high in terms of grades, it has not been separated from the geographical restrictions of the jade industry. If it is in Zhejiang, it is quite unique and has a certain attraction, then there will be a certain gap compared with Guangdong and Hong Kong. This is entirely caused by the regional gap.

It can be seen how important Jia Sidao's special jade carving skills are to experts in the jade industry.

Jia Sidao can be imagined completely how much effort Liu Yufei and Wang Biao spent to promote Jia Sidao's unique carving skills. However, because they had unified the caliber with Jia Sidao in advance, they naturally would not say it directly. These unique jade jewelry were carved by Jia Sidao.

In this way, it is reasonable that the mystery, coupled with the charm itself shown in the jade carving skills, can attract many experts.

Among these customers, Jia Sidao met many old acquaintances, such as Mr. Dong and his friends whom he met in Guangdong. When he met Jia Sidao, he was very familiar with him. The circle of gambling stones was so big. If Jia Sidao went to Guangdong, Yunnan and other places a few more times, it would probably be possible that some big merchants would know them all. Jia Sidao was also personally receiving them. Moreover, there were no too many polite words on both sides. Everyone was from the industry. As long as you look at it a little, you could see the overall level of "green, fat, red and thin".

"It's really not simple." In the end, Mr. Dong also said this, which was an evaluation of "green, fat, red and thin". Then, the group came to the display stand. Mr. Dong's eyes narrowed into gaps and looked at several of the top-quality jadeites. Among the few accompanying people next to him, Jia Sidao also knew a lot.

It seems that everyone is very interested in the jade jewelry here.

"Xiao Jia, these 'twelve zodiac signs' are carved out by Xiao Liu's special techniques, right?" Mr. Dong looked at it, and indeed focused on Jia Sidao's carving skills. On the contrary, among the people accompanying him, some were looking at the 'blood jade bracelet', and some were looking at the 'chicken oil yellow'.

"Yes." Jia Sidao responded quickly and said, "President Dong would also like to help you give me some advice."

Jia Sidao would still say a few words about this superficial humility. Unable to say, Mr. Dong would customize a few top-quality jade jewelry here.

"Haha, I haven't said this yet, you have flattered me. Did you learn from Xiao Liuzi? It's such a good method." Mr. Dong didn't ask who carved it. Even if he asked about this kind of question, Jia Sidao would definitely not say it. Instead of asking about it, it would be better to ignore it directly. "Can you tell me now what the price is in positioning? Xiao Liu, that boy, has fooled me so badly."

"Oh? No?" Jia Sidao pretended to be very surprised and asked curiously.

"Why isn't it?" Mr. Dong seemed to mention Liu Yufei, and he felt a little angry. He didn't know if he pretended to do it for Jia Sidao to see. "That kid first sent me a photo and said that I wanted to see if there was something special. Of course, I searched it carefully. However, Xiao Jia, you also know that the work Xiao Liu was doing is indeed quite average in terms of quality. I read it for a long time before I found out that Xiao Liu's purpose was."

Yes, Jia Sidao smiled bitterly. The work he gave to Liu Yufei was not the best, but it was considered an ice-type texture. Although it was not very pure in color, it seemed to be average in Mr. Dong's opinion. I don't know if it was someone else's heroic spirit or Jia Sidao's petty spirit. However, for Hong Kong businessmen like Mr. Dong, Jia Sidao really has nothing to say.

"Later, I asked to see the real thing. I rushed to Jieyang immediately." Mr. Dong sighed and said, "Originally, seeing Xiao Liu's smug appearance, I thought it was a new jade jewelry from his "Liu Ji". As for the carving techniques, value, etc., they kept them all secret from me. You said, isn't he greedy for me? After seeing the real thing, I was even more happy with this carving technique. Now, the next day, I rushed to your place."

While speaking, Jia Sidao could feel some of Dong Zong's sincerity.

"What kind of price do you think such jade jewelry will be?" Jia Sidao carefully stumbled into his words and said, "Don't worry, when you came here, it was the first time to ask about this. In addition, at the time of opening, Liu Yufei and Wang Biao and Wang Brother Wang came."

"Yes." Mr. Dong nodded. Jia Sidao's words could not be understood. Since Liu Yufei and Wang Biao said, there would be certain points in the carving technique that Jia Sidao had. Moreover, Mr. Dong could even think that Liu Yufei was trying hard to help Jia Sidao shout in Guangdong. No matter what agreement the two had beforehand.

For businessmen like Mr. Dong, only the combination of interests is the most reliable.

Moreover, he would not think that after a big business like Wang Biao had contacted Jia Sidao, he could still obtain high benefits from Jia Sidao. This is also Jia Sidao's reminder to him: You should listen, Wang Biao in the Northeast has already negotiated with me. If you want to take advantage of me, you may not be able to get out.

Although Jia Sidao, the person involved, could not have imagined the profound meaning of this kind of speech, General Dong could quickly understand it. Moreover, what he was even more worried was that if Jia Sidao and Wang Biao had a joint cooperation to block such jade carvings from the outside, then, if he came in a hurry this time, it would be a waste of time to visit.

If Mr. Dong has an appreciative attitude towards jadeite that has a unique carving effect in jade jewelry, or a mentality of using it to make money, Mr. Dong would definitely say that both are there. But if we have to decide the winner, I am afraid the latter will have the upper hand?

Therefore, although Mr. Dong wanted to ask in his heart whether Wang Biao and Liu Yufei had ordered a large number of orders from Jia Sidao, they swallowed them back when they said that. If he asked at this moment, he would undoubtedly be at an absolute disadvantage in the next transaction, which is not what Mr. Dong hoped to see.

So, in the following time, the conversation between Dong Zong and Jia Sidao was mostly playing the edge ball, and the content they talked about was all about the jade industry. However, there were very few things that were really related to Jia Sidao's carving skills. Dong always paid attention to Jia Sidao's change in expression while talking casually.

However, as Jia Sidao, he can benefit a lot from Mr. Dong’s words.

After all, there is still a big gap between places like Linhai and Hong Kong. In this way, even if Jia Sidao is in the Jade Industry, he cannot understand the market conditions in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in real time, right? Not to mention the trends. In his chat with Mr. Dong, he tends to be more inclined to these news.

Jia Sidao was so happy to talk to Mr. Dong.

At the end, Mr. Dong found an opportunity to tell Jia Sidao about specific purposes. At this time, Mr. Dong felt that he had played the favor card almost well and had a good relationship. Next, it was naturally his plan. The two of them arrived at the second floor of "green, fat, red and thin". Fortunately, in such a place, it was still very suitable to talk about jade.

"Xiao Jia, I'll just say it directly." Mr. Dong said straight to the point, without any slightest disbelief, "I personally am very optimistic about this unique carving technique. So, if conditions permit, I will extradite a few pieces to Hong Kong."

In Mr. Dong's opinion, since there is Liu Yufei in Guangdong and Wang Biao in the north, Mr. Dong doesn't think he can shake the relationship between these two people and Jia Sidao. Moreover, Mr. Dong's own business territory does not have much intersection with them. It is better to directly propose that it is more appropriate to come to Hong Kong.

"Of course, if you don't find a suitable partner in Taiwan, I can give it to the agent." Mr. Dong added, "I still have some tricks in Taiwan."

"I naturally have nothing to doubt about your ways, Mr. Dong." Jia Sidao nodded and said, "However, you also know that carving jade is not an easy task, especially some unique techniques, which takes a lot of time."

"This is natural." Mr. Dong replied with a smile.

"So, there is only one carving master on my side who can carve such an effect. I want other carving masters to learn a little. However, it is too difficult and not realistic." Jia Sidao thought about it and said, "Look, there is a big limit in terms of quantity. Let me tell you this. Brother Liu and Brother Wang have not mentioned anything from me yet. Otherwise, Brother Liu would not be likely to show you a medium- and high-end jade jewelry."

"This," Mr. Dong was a little stunned. Thinking of the jade jewelry that Liu Yufei showed him, it was really as Jia Sidao said. However, soon, a smile appeared on his face again, even more excited than before. Since even Liu Yufei and Wang Biao did not mention the goods, it is enough to show that the carving craftsman on Jia Sidao's side, whether it is one or not, at least it is relatively rare, that is certain.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Jia Sidao to miss this kind of opportunity to make money.

"In this way, I'm anxious." Mr. Dong said modestly, "But since it can only be produced in small batches, can we take the high-end or even high-quality route specifically?"

Sometimes, Jia Sidao had to sigh that these smart big businessmen are really different people, with the same head. Mr. Dong's thoughts for a moment were exactly the same as Wang Biao, Liu Yufei and others. Only Jia Sidao would be indifferent to his carving skills.

Even after seeing the jade jewelry carved by Jia Sidao, Xu Zhiguo only praised the good carving skills, or Jia Sidao would one day become a famous jade engraver, but he did not think that such skills could create a sensation in the industry and drive endless benefits.

This is the gap in vision!

"Yes." Jia Sidao nodded and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to hide. "Brother Wang Biao also suggested this. If allowed, one jade jewelry should be released a month, which is more reasonable."

When Mr. Dong heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The word "reasonable" is very particular. It can be regarded as the carving master under Jia Sidao, who can only carve one piece of jade jewelry in a month, or Jia Sidao has the intention to suppress the goods. After all, this thing is a high-end jade jewelry, and even Mr. Dong has to admit that if there are too many quantities, it will undoubtedly cause price losses. If there are too few quantities, it is a bit unprofitable for Jia Sidao. Who doesn't want to make more money?

No one will be unable to get over money.

"Then Mr. Wang and Xiao Liuzi have not yet agreed to you about sales, right?" Mr. Dong couldn't help but follow Jia Sidao's thinking. At this time, he couldn't help but feel free. If he didn't pick up the goods from Jia Sidao, there would be no other way. However, Jia Sidao could enter the Hong Kong market through Liu Yufei. It was just a little troublesome in terms of process and speed.

When Mr. Dong saw the jade jewelry that Liu Yufei showed him, he thought that his carving master would learn and imitate it. However, it was just a shape. Just say that it was the simple carving marks on jade jewelry. A carving master with superb skills would have no problem trying to imitate it. However, it was just an imitation. The texture, texture, color, and water head of each piece of jade material were not exactly the same. Even if it was imitated according to Jia Sidao's carving marks, it would be difficult to have the effect carved by Jia Sidao himself.

Even Jia Sidao himself wanted to carve two exactly the same jade jewelry, not to mention that it was imitated by other jade carvers.

In this way, it is no wonder that Dong Zong was so concerned about Jade Jewelry with this carving effect.

"Not yet." Jia Sidao nodded with certainty and said, "But you have also seen it. Only three of the "Twelve Zodiac" animal-shaped jade jewelry in my shop are exhibited, because the remaining nine have been designed and there are also jade materials, but there is no time to carve it out."

"Can you slow down the 'twelve zodiac signs' first?" With Mr. Dong's shrewdness, it can be seen that the 'twelve zodiac signs' are a complete set, which is no problem at all. "You can try to carve another jade jewelry first and explore the market conditions."

In the end, Mr. Dong and Jia Sidao's words seemed to be more like helping Jia Si out of his ideas.

Just when Jia Sidao felt a little incredible, Mr. Dong immediately continued: "Look, Hong Kong has always been the best place to sell jade jewelry. If you want to experiment with what potential this type of jade jewelry has, can it be placed in the Hong Kong market?"

Jia Sidao smiled bitterly and said, "This is really a good idea."

In this regard, let alone Jia Sidao, even if Liu Yufei and Wang Biao are still standing here, they can only respond like this. Can it be said that the jade market in the mainland is more prosperous than that in Hong Kong? Isn’t this lies with open eyes? If the entire jade market in the mainland can be compared with Hong Kong, then, from a single city, it is completely incomparable.

"Why do you mean to agree with me?" Mr. Dong suddenly raised his voice a few degrees and said, "If you are sure, can we now discuss the form, texture, price and other aspects of this jade carving work?"

Judging from Mr. Dong's tone, he seemed to be afraid that he would slow down, so Jia Sidao changed his mind.

"Haha, Mr. Dong, you can rest assured that as long as the price is right, you can choose to place it in the Hong Kong market first. Whether it is for me, for Brother Liu and Brother Wang, it is very beneficial." Jia Sidao said thinking. When Wang Biao and Liu Yufei said goodbye, they talked about where to open the market first. After all, there are not many people who can really afford this kind of top-quality jade jewelry.

Whether it is from Guangdong or the Northeast, it is not the only place in Hong Kong, which is more beneficial. If you start selling from the Northeast and need to explain to customers why such engraving skills will increase the price a lot, then once this type of jade jewelry appears in Hong Kong, it will cause a sensation. When it appears in other places in the future, many unnecessary rhetoric and trouble will be avoided.

It’s like the release of fashion, which will be chosen to be in Paris, France, and the release of the movie will need to hit Los Angeles.

Otherwise, before the cooperation with Wang Biao and Liu Yufei was agreed, Jia Sidao would not have come to negotiate a deal with Mr. Dong against his conscience, right?

"So, what is the budget for this type of jade jewelry?" Mr. Dong asked, "Let's say that, Xiao Jia, now you plan to directly hand over the carved jade jewelry to me for processing, contact the buyer, or just send it to the auction house?"

"This depends on your plan for Mr. Dong." Jia Sidao said, "For me, one or two jade jewelry is just a small benefit. What is important is long-term cooperation, right?"

"That's it, that's it." Mr. Dong nodded.

"So, in my opinion, this first jade jewelry is best to have a certain sensational effect." Jia Sidao said, "But there is no need to make it known to everyone. If the supply is in short supply, I don't want others to come to me. You also know that if you want to be able to eat in the jade industry, interpersonal relationships are important, but at the same time, you will be bound by many human relationships, right?"

"When it comes to this, I have a deep understanding of it." Jia Sidao's interpersonal relationships are undoubtedly much inferior to Mr. Dong. Jia Sidao can feel that it is not easy, and in this regard, Mr. Dong has enough say. "According to what Xiao Jia, you mean, try not to go to large auctions."

Mr. Dong thought about it for a few minutes before continuing, "Do you think this will work? We are optimistic about this first jade jewelry, but there is a limit not? If it is delivered to a large auction, although it will definitely have a certain sensational effect, it will be weakened by other items. How about it, rely directly on my personal relationship in Hong Kong to conduct a small auction?"

"Anyway, isn't it too troublesome for you, Mr. Dong?" Jia Sidao said in surprise. Jia Sidao didn't think that Mr. Dong would spend so much effort on such a jade jewelry. While asking, he looked at Mr. Dong curiously, as if waiting for Mr. Dong's final answer.

Mr. Dong smiled embarrassedly and said, "Of course, in this way, the way this jade jewelry can be sold depends largely on me personally, or my jade company's connections. Look, is it because of the ownership of this jade jewelry?"

Jia Sidao immediately understood what Mr. Dong was planning. It turns out that he not only wanted to organize the auction process of jade jewelry, but more importantly, the ownership of this jade jewelry.

However, this needs to be achieved as much as possible for Mr. Dong. It is not only for more cooperation with Jia Sidao in the future, but also for the first time this high-end jade jewelry auction will gain a lot of reputation. However, for Jia Sidao, it also has considerable benefits.
