Chapter 388
Chapter 388 Human Relationship
What is the most admired thing that Mr. Dong admires the carving masters that Jia Sidao has? It is the carving craftsmanship and the effect of jade jewelry after carving!
If this is not the case, there is no need for Mr. Dong to go from Hong Kong to a small place like Linhai and discuss it in detail with Jia Sidao. In Mr. Dong's hope, the biggest advantage is that he can decide the shape of the five jade jewelry by himself. Especially in the carving of jade, Mr. Dong would not think that the craftsmanship masters on Jia Sidao can compare with those on Hong Kong. I believe that even Jia Sidao himself would not think so, right?
"Xiao Jia, let me tell you this." Mr. Dong considered the words and said, "Since those four jade jewelry are already finished, I won't say much. Can you introduce the shape of jade jewelry first? Otherwise, I wouldn't make any suggestions for the part that has not been carved yet, right?"
"Haha, I was negligent." Jia Sidao smiled embarrassedly. Mr. Dong only wanted five jade jewelry. Jia Sidao said that four of them belonged to "inventory", so they were naturally established. In this way, Mr. Dong asked to understand it first, which was understandable.
"If it's convenient, can I get started in advance?" Mr. Dong said with a charming smile, "Of course, this is not that I can't trust you Xiao Jia, but that anyone who knows such a unique jade jewelry will want to have a sneak peek."
"Everyone is from the industry, I can understand your mood." Jia Sidao nodded and said, "In theory, you told me this, so I should agree. However, you also know that some carving masters with outstanding carving skills always have some tempers."
"Oh." Mr. Dong replied faintly. Obviously, he was a little disappointed with this answer. However, what Jia Sidao said in his words was quite realistic, making people unable to find any faults. Who has talent and talent, has no temper? Anyway, these four jade jewelry should be reviewed by Mr. Dong first, that is a matter of time, and Mr. Dong is not in a hurry.
Jia Sidao, who was next to him, smiled bitterly. This was the price of lying casually! Not to mention four items, it would be impossible to ask Jia Sidao to take out one or two items. It is impossible to say that after fighting today, Jia Sidao will work hard and take the opportunity to carve more jade jewelry to prepare for his future career. Otherwise, if he encounters a similar situation, it will be really not easy to deal with!
"However, I still know a little about the specific appearance of the four jade jewelry." Jia Sidao said, and began to imagine in his mind that he had a lot of jade materials at hand, but he could not make up randomly. At this time, whenever Jia Sidao talked about a type of jade jewelry, Mr. Dong would definitely keep it firmly in mind. If Jia Sidao could not take out the corresponding jade jewelry, or if he could not find a suitable jade material to carve for a while, it would inevitably arouse Mr. Dong's doubts.
You can’t just talk nonsense for Jia Sidao now. In the next few days, if you don’t have the right jade material, you have to cut out the right part from the large pieces of jade material, right?
Jia Sidao disdains to do this kind of wasteful behavior.
"Oh?" Mr. Dong nodded, and finally there was a smile on his lips. "Then I'll listen carefully." Since there was no way to touch it with you, it would be a good idea to hear some descriptions from Jia Sidao's mouth. At least, Jia Sidao is the boss of the jade carving master. It is normal for him to know the specific appearance of some jade jewelry. Moreover, Mr. Dong would not "silly" think that Jia Sidao said that there were only four pieces of stock, so there must be only four models, right?
"There are two of them, which are carved jade bracelets." Jia Sidao said, wearing a thoughtful look, "The texture is glass, and the color is also excellent. The size is even more similar."
"This is really good." Mr. Dong responded. Mr. Dong was not surprised at all about the four jade jewelry. Jia Sidao was thinking about carving jade bracelets and jade ring faces himself, which was the most time-saving. As long as the size and color of the jade material are the right one, it can be carved quickly. Mr. Dong felt that the higher the material when choosing jade carving, the more high-end the material, the more it should be carved into a classic form.
Unless the customer has requirements for what he wants. Otherwise, in Mr. Dong's eyes, a piece of jade ornament with complex and superior carving techniques may be more expensive than the same weight and quality jade bracelet, but in terms of circulation, the former is definitely not as good as the latter.
If you put yourself in your shoes, Mr. Dong has a carving master with outstanding jadeite skills and has a lot of jadeite materials on hand. If you rule out the jadeite jewelry used to practice for the carving master, Mr. Dong must have hoped that all of them will be carved into classic styles.
As for the part Liu Yufei had at hand, Mr. Dong naturally believed that it was a work used to try it out.
When he thought of this, Mr. Dong was even more excited about the four jade jewelry that were about to appear: "Since it is a pair of jade bracelets of the same model, it is easier to create gimmicks when it is sold, but there are a few more variables in this price. Glass-type jade bracelets are not cheap."
However, no matter how Jia Sidao heard it, why did he feel that Mr. Dong had a feeling of joy in his words. Ordinary glass-type green ring faces can be tens of millions in market price, and the bracelets will naturally be even higher. In addition, the jade jewelry with unique carving effects on Jia Sidao needs to be 40% higher than the market price in price increase. In this way, Mr. Dong not only did not frown at the large amount of funds to be paid, but was a little excited.
From this we can see how courageous the big merchants like Mr. Dong are in the jade industry are. And how sufficient funds are in hand.
Jia Sidao originally had more than 100 million funds to receive the money, but his slightly proud thoughts immediately returned to a calm state and stabilized his mood. Then he explained: "That's right, I have seen that pair of yang green jade bracelet. In terms of carving skills, Mr. Dong, you can be completely relieved. It is absolutely satisfying you."
"I can still trust you Xiao Jia for this." Mr. Dong smiled and flattered him.
Jia Sidao also smiled "hehe" when he heard this. In his heart, Jia Sidao would not believe Mr. Dong's words. Anyway, Mr. Dong would definitely pass the exam when signing for things. If he encounters someone dissatisfied, he would definitely give his opinions. Although the things discussed by the two of them are all consistent in the general direction, they have no opinions on details. But when it comes to the time of transaction, details will really determine the price.
Moreover, Jia Sidao also understood that the so-called market price mentioned by Mr. Dong was far from the market price that Jia Sidao placed in the store, but the "lower" internal price among the merchants of the gambling stones. Even so, Jia Sidao was quite satisfied after having a "40%" of the interests.
After all, the money Jia Sidao makes now is the price of "carving craftsmanship". For the money on jade materials, facing large merchants like Mr. Dong, he cannot make any profit. You must know that he will naturally not lack jade materials such as glass-type green jade.
"I don't know much about the remaining two models," said Jia Sidao. "If Mr. Dong is really anxious, he can stay here in Linhai and let me do my best to be a landlord. After three or five days, I can take the things for Mr. Dong to take a look. What do you think?"
"Three or five days?" Mr. Dong said thinking, "I don't have to hurry up to these three or five days. I think this is true? Xiao Jia, you, try to carve the fifth jade jewelry as much as possible, and I will also go back to Hong Kong to raise funds. These five jade jewelry are not cheap."
In a short period of time, Dong always can take out such funds, but taking them out does not mean that it will have no impact on his other aspects of capital flow. Jia Sidao couldn't help but nod: "Then let's make up that. At that time, we will clear the payments for the goods, which is a blessing to wish us a happy cooperation."
"Hehe." Mr. Dong smiled and replied, "Then you will have a happy cooperation."
"As for the fifth jade jewelry, what good suggestions does Mr. Dong have?" Jia Sidao asked, "In terms of texture, glass-type imperial green materials will definitely be used, and in terms of shape,"
"In terms of form," Mr. Dong hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think it's better to carve some famous things."
"Is it because there are already bright green jade bracelets?" Jia Sidao originally thought that Dong Zonghui continued to propose carving jade bracelets.
"Of course not." Mr. Dong explained with a smile, "Didn't you notice that Xiao Jia, you have a great advantage in choosing carving ornaments in this kind of carving technique?"
"So that's it!" After Mr. Dong reminded him, Jia Sidao immediately slapped his thigh and couldn't help but praise him, "I said no wonder Mr. Dong, you want to carve jade ornaments."
In Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin", Jia Sidao only exhibited four jade jewelry that he had carved himself. However, in terms of style, none of them belonged to jade bracelets or jade ring faces. And the fact that it can cause such a sensational effect in the eyes of experts is naturally due to Jia Sidao's special carving skills.
But it is undeniable that such engraving skills also have their strengths and weaknesses.
As a common jade bracelet in jade styles, jade ring faces, even jade bead chains, are all round and round. The patterns made on the surface of jade materials are naturally much less. It is precisely because these styles of jade jewelry can guarantee the characteristics of jade itself to the greatest extent that they are given the word "classic".
If you rely on the efforts of the carving master to turn a piece of jade that is almost destroyed into a treasure, you can only say that it is a "boutique" in a jade jewelry, and will not become a "classic". Just like the "Feng and Snow Mountain Temple" that Jia Sidao encountered in Guangdong. It is because of the dense "grass core" in the jade material, which is ultimately perfectly combined with the "Snow Scenery" to create a piece of medium and low-end jade material, which after being carved, becomes a work!
As a person who carved by himself, Jia Sidao naturally has a very good understanding of the greatest strengths of his supernatural ability perception. That is, he can learn more about the texture of the jade material than ordinary people, and it is easier to "carve" according to the material. In addition, a little bit of the help of supernatural ability, some special features reflected when using the "knife" form the style of Jia Sidao carving jade.
Such skills may show the texture of the jade material itself more vividly when carving jade bracelets. However, if you want to talk about "gimmicks", you should talk about the most intuitive and shocking visually, which is similar to the "serpentine jade earrings".
Let’s say it is the jade ornament carved based on the prototype of Li Shiyun. With just a few strokes, the handmade is not complicated, but because of the unevenness on the jade ornament, it reflects a unique charm of a woman. This is the greatest charm that appears in Jia Sidao’s carving.
Even if an expert like Mr. Dong has not seen the jade bracelet carved by Jia Sidao, he can summarize it from the four jade jewelry from the "green, fat, red and thin" and the one Liu Yufei had shown him, and he can still guess the effect of the jade bracelet after being carved.
As a carved by himself, Jia Sidao himself needed to be reminded by Mr. Dong to reminisce that the greatest charm of the jade jewelry he carved was unconsciously a bit ashamed as he spoke. Until he sent Mr. Dong downstairs, Jia Sidao's mind was still a little dazed and helpless.
It seems that it is not limited to porcelain, which is a relatively old profession. Even the jade industry that Jia Sidao always thought he was good at has a lot of background, right?
Many jade merchants who came with Mr. Dong, some of them were engaged in jade business, some were engaged in gambling stones, and many were like Jia Sidao. Whether it was gambling stones, carving jade materials, or even sales of finished jade products, they would participate more or less.
Fortunately, everyone is in the same journey, and on the surface, they are quite polite.
When facing the exquisite jade jewelry in "green, fat, red and thin", and the colorful colors are matched perfectly, some jade merchants will inevitably feel like Dong Zong, wanting to pick up goods from Jia Sidao.
In response to this, Jia Sidao could only smile bitterly and politely refuse.
My own jade shops have just opened, and it is already very good for Jia Sidao to produce and sell their own products. This business with Mr. Dong is limited to the carving skills of Jia Sidao, a "idle", and can be completely settled. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to let jade carving masters such as Xu Zhiguo deal with orders from other jade shops.
Moreover, Jia Sidao also wanted to participate in some real "jewellery exhibitions", and there were a lot of carvings by Xu Zhiguo and others. At that time, the works of "green, fat, red and thin" in the entire jewelry exhibition were all carved by Jia Sidao alone, right?
Speaking of which, Jia Sidao wanted to find a few more carving masters to help. He didn't have the energy to provide other jade stores with supplies! However, as the saying goes, people will chase after good things, which is essential. Moreover, the more the best jade jewelry is, the more it can show the value of collection in the eyes of experts. The more people who know the profession, the more they can see the extraordinaryness of the best jade jewelry in Jia Sidao's "green, fat, red and thin".
It’s like a few people with Mr. Dong. Among them, three or five of them fell in love with the “twelve zodiac signs” carved by “Purple Eyes”. Although they knew that these three things were not for sale, they still asked Jia Sidao with a try-out attitude. One of them also asked if Jia Sidao could provide him with one, even if it was carved from other jade materials.
It is precisely the value of this strange engraving technique that lies in it.
Jia Sidao looked at Mr. Dong with great meaning. Immediately, the inquiring businessman smiled bitterly on his face. Dong and Mr. Jia Sidao had been on the second floor for so long, and when they came down, they were quite friendly and chatting and laughing freely. Ruo said that there was no transaction between the two of them, and no one would believe it.
Jia Sidao's simple action was already a tactful rejection. Moreover, it was far more lethal than Jia Sidao's direct refusal. At this time, if you want jade jewelry of this quality, you can go directly to Mr. Dong to ask for it.
This is what Jia Sidao conveys.
For this reason, Mr. Dong also looked at Jia Sidao and smiled guiltily. It turned out that Jia Sidao pushed him out as a shield. Many of them were very good friends of Mr. Dong, and the meaning of this kind of favor is undoubtedly a little more. Fortunately, Mr. Dong is a person who has been in the mall for a long time. He quickly got rid of this kind of human entanglement and told them directly that the answer would be revealed after a while.
Those words were all in the hearts of everyone, holding a breath. If you want to vent, you feel like you hit the cotton with a punch, without any effort, and you feel uncomfortable.
However, Jia Sidao learned a lot from Mr. Dong's work. It has whet everyone's appetite, but it has not been made specific and revealed for a while. It is really amazing!
Of course, apart from the "twelve zodiac signs", many merchants were also happy to see some other glass-type imperial green and bright green jade jewelry. Everyone has heard of these quality jade jewelry. They must have heard of them. It is hard to say that when you go to bed every night, these few nouns will appear in your mind. However, if you have seen it with your own eyes and are so close, it will not be all of them.
Among them, some people were inevitably attracted to Jia Sidao and asked whether the price of these jade jewelry could be transferred at a "market price". They also said openly that they would not sell it for sale, but for collection. In terms of price, they are all from the industry, and they can also know how much moisture is indicated in Jia Sidao's jade shop.
For the sake of favor, Jia Sidao also thought about his future path, and most of them agreed.
Perhaps, some stone gambling merchants can gamble several pieces of jadeite raw stone in their lifetime, which can cut out glass-type imperial green, but there may be one or two pieces missing in the middle. After cutting, once glass-type imperial green jadeite appears, it may not be polished and kept for one. The big material is directly dispersed and used to carve small jade jewelry. In the eyes of insiders, it is a waste of resources and is very shameless!
In this way, although the stone gambling merchants come into contact with a lot of jade materials every year, it is possible that the jade jewelry they collect themselves is not as good as ordinary jade collection enthusiasts. Otherwise, just relying on Mr. Dong's face or Liu Yufei's interpersonal relationship, it is impossible to find so many jade merchants in a short time to visit "green, fat, red and thin"?
Jia Sidao speculated that a large number of people did not come from Jia Sidao's unique carving skills, but were completely spreading the reputation of "green, fat, red and thin". They just wanted to come and see the rumored top-quality jadeite.
You should know that almost most jade shops will not display the best jade so openly.
In addition, in the few days after the opening, Jia Sidao actually saw the arrival of several unexpected people, either some famous hosts, reporters, models in the career he had worked with Zhou Sha, or simply some small stars.
After seeing the beauty of jade, all of these people were filled with spirit in their eyes. However, after seeing the astronomical prices, they frowned and bitter. Not to mention the few jade jewelry that Jia Sidao marked not for sale, nor to mention the glass imperial green models worth tens of millions, just some jades worth millions of dollars are enough to discourage them!
As Jia Sidao looked at it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his whole mind became a little restless.
Chapter completed!
