Chapter 138 Jincuifang

Ning Xia looked at the place pointed by Xiang Toon, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.This turned out to be an advertisement for a jade processing workshop.

Ningxia hurriedly called Tiezi and asked him if the jade workshop above was famous in the local area, at least it was reliable in terms of technology and so on.In the future, when she gambled on high-grade jadeite, she no longer had to worry about finding a place to process it.

After reading the advertisement, Tiezi said, "That is Jincuifang, which is indeed a famous local jade workshop. The owner's family has been making jade carvings for generations, and his skills are among the best in our local area. As for the processing fee, it is expensive. And they don't take on ordinary work. This time it's rare, why are they willing to take over the processing work? Our jade can be processed in Jincuifang, so it's not an exaggeration to say that even the leftovers can be sold The price of top-grade jadeite. Just to see if we are lucky enough to open the door of Jincuifang."

Hearing what Tiezi said, Ningxia had a clue in her mind. Tiezi said that Jincuifang didn't take on ordinary jobs, and she really needed such a picky jade carving master.People with high skills are often the most arrogant, as long as the jade carving skills are good, she is not afraid of spending too much processing fees.For jade jewelry, the quality of jade affects the price of jade, and the level of carving skills is also one of the most important factors for the value of a piece of jade.

Ningxia planned to ask Tiezi to take him to the Jincuifang, but Xiangchun insisted on following, saying that she was a nanny, and there was no such thing as a nanny who was not with the master.Ningxia had no choice but to let her follow her.

That Jincuifang is not on Yushi Street, but it is not far from Yushi Street. From a road that crosses Yushi Street, you go straight there, and you can see the facade of Jincuifang not far away.Tiezi said that this Jincuifang not only makes jade carvings, but also makes jade pieces inlaid with gold. I heard that the boss is originally from Sucheng, a famous jade carving city, so he has such high jade carving skills.

When Ning Xia heard the name Su Cheng, her heart moved slightly. She was no stranger to this city, and Nie Chen's family lived in Su Cheng now.However, she would not insist that the boss of Jincuifang has any relationship with the Nie family.Sioux City is a famous jade carving city in history, and there are many people who know jade carving skills.What's more, the Nie family is not a native of Sioux City.

That Jincuifang is not an ordinary shop. Tiezi said that the shop originally left by the French during the Republic of China was bought by the previous generation of Jincuifang bosses and changed into a shop for jade processing. It is the shop, for business, and the second and third floors are the workshops of those skilled jade craftsmen.

It's just that the threshold of Jincuifang is really high, and Ningxia was blocked as soon as he reached the gate.The buddy said that the orders are currently full. If you want to ask the store to help process jade, you will have to wait until next month.Ningxia is a thin-skinned person, or she is also a little bit arrogant, her face is so ugly, she doesn't bother to try to please her, her face is slightly frosted, and she wants to turn around and leave.Still with Xiang Toon's fiery temper, he grabbed Ningxia's hand wearing the two-color jadeite bracelet, and said to the guy, "Don't underestimate us, you guys specialize in making jadeware, so do you know how much the bracelet in our boss's hand is worth?" ? We are not ordinary people, don't look down on people."

The guy took a careful look at the pair of bracelets in Ning Xia's hands, and immediately became sullen and silent, looked Ning Xia up and down, and then said, "Then please wait, I'll ask our boss. "

When the guy turned around, Xiang Toon spat at him angrily, saying how could there be such an awesome guy?Talk like you owe them hundreds of dollars.To put it bluntly, if you don't take orders, is it possible that there will be deaths in his family?

"The big shop bullies the customers, and the big customers bully the owner." This is an old saying, and Ning Xia doesn't have so many complaints in her heart. She doesn't believe that there is no good jade carving master except this one.

When that guy came out, his expression was really the same. Can a person who specializes in processing jade recognize how much the bracelet in Ning Xia's hand is worth?It looked like a girl in ordinary clothes, but she casually came out wearing a pair of top-grade jadeite bracelets worth nearly [-] million yuan. So how rich and rich is this girl, can she still use words?He said "please" to Ningxia with a smile and let Ningxia into the store.

After entering the store, Ningxia realized that she couldn’t complain that people were not allowed to come in casually. The shelves were filled with all kinds of exquisite jade carvings, including agate, jadeite and Hetian jade. There were many kinds of jade carvings, including figures. Jadeites that can be used as decorative jade carvings are mostly agate jade that is not suitable for jewelry. Those top-quality jadeites are already invaluable just for pendants and bracelets. Cheng Dazun jade carving, who can afford it?And those middle and low-grade jade agate or Hetian jade, after being carefully carved by jade carvers, the beautiful jade carving handicrafts are also priceless.

A bookish young man wearing glasses came over to greet Ningxia, introduced himself as Ji, and asked him what kind of jewelry or ornaments Ningxia wanted to process.

Ningxia originally thought about processing her bean-grown jadeite into a bracelet, but when she got here, she realized that if a famous jade carving shop helps her process a bracelet that costs less than [-] yuan, let alone whether they are willing to accept it, the processing fee It is likely to make her flesh hurt.If she doesn't do anything, she's already here, and the other party has finally given her face and is willing to receive her. She doesn't want to miss this opportunity.So she temporarily decided to process the bean-grown jade wool as a decoration first.Didn't Tiezi say that Jincuifang is very famous?Then her piece of bean-seed emerald wool probably increased in value because of this.

After some contact, the other party agreed to accept Ningxia's jade carving work, but said that the price is hard to say now, and they have to wait until they see the size of the wool material, the style and difficulty of jade carving required by Ningxia, before negotiating the price.

When Ningxia went back, Grasshopper and the shop assistants unwrapped the bean-seed jadeite wool and sent it to Jincuifang. The other party asked for a processing fee of 20 yuan, a deposit of [-] yuan, and the rest would be paid on the day of delivery.As for the style, their jade carving master will design a few sketches according to the size and uniform color of the jadeite, and then Ningxia will choose the one he likes.As for the processing time, because it is purely hand-carved, there is no number of days when it will be carved, but the longest time will not exceed half a year.

Ning Xia didn't care about the time when this ornament came out, and she was not in a hurry to get it, she just wanted to use the bean kind of jade wool to knock on the door of Jincuifang.

Ning Xia was able to successfully become a customer of Jincuifang, and she was still very grateful to Xiang Toon for daring to speak up, otherwise she would have left in disgrace.After knowing that Jincuifang is good at making jewelry inlaid with gold and jade, Ningxia has another plan.The processing fee of gold inlaid jade is much cheaper than that of pure jade carving.Ningxia bought a piece of middle-grade red jade material and a piece of waxy green jadeite material on Yushi Street, and then spent a few days designing jewelry styles with gold and jade inlaid by herself, including necklaces and bracelets. There are earrings.

Holding the blueprint and the two pieces of emerald material, Ningxia boarded the gate of Jincuifang again.It was the man surnamed Ji who received her. After seeing her design drawings, this Mr. Ji said that there are still some problems with Ningxia's design drawings, because she doesn't know jade processing, and some styles can't reflect the light of jade. After it is made, it will greatly reduce the aesthetic feeling.

Ningxia broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. In terms of jewelry design, she is indeed only a half-knife. When she was in college, she only took jewelry design as an elective. She spent three days fishing and two days drying the net. She is really not that proficient in this area. She only wears straw sandals People with bare feet are slightly better than those with bare feet.

Seeing the sad look on Ning Xia's face, Mr. Ji smiled slightly and said, "I will find someone to modify the design drawings for you, come back in two days and see if the revised drawings are in your favor. "

Ningxia was naturally satisfied with this answer. Two days later, when she went to Jincuifang again, Mr. Na Ji took out her design drawings, and he asked someone to modify the drawings according to Ningxia's design drawings.Looking at the drawings made by that professional jewelry designer, Ning Xia really felt sweaty. The same as her own design drawings, that is the difference between a famous lady and Cuihua.

Ningxia also noticed that there is a Gothic English letter "N" in the lower right corner of each design drawing.However, she didn't think too much about it, and felt that the designer had left it on purpose, maybe the pinyin of the Chinese name or the abbreviation of the English name.

Mr. Ji from Jincuifang promised Ningxia to make the batch of gold-encrusted jade jewelry for one month, but on the fifth day, he called Ningxia to pick up the first batch of jewelry.

The red emerald and green jewelry inlaid with platinum, the metallic feeling of platinum, and the crystal clearness of jade, make the jewelry really super beautiful. Compared with those pure jade ornaments made of only jadeite, such jewelry, more popular.In addition, Ningxia's design style is fashionable and avant-garde, which is more in line with the visual beauty of white-collar beauties in their 20s.Because it is gold inlaid jade, the jade material is relatively less, and the price is relatively cheaper than pure jade jewelry. The price positioning is 30.00% higher than ordinary platinum jewelry. People who can afford platinum jewelry will buy it. From this gold inlaid jade jewelry.

Before the last batch of gold-inlaid jade jewelry processed by Jincuifang was produced, Ningxia had already bought two pieces of emerald material and sent them to Jincuifang for processing.The popularity is evident.

Ningxia is not satisfied with this middle and low-end consumer class.In her little head, what she thinks about the most is to make high-quality jade jewelry.Now she is beginning to enjoy some sweetness, but there is still a long way to go to turn a shop into a big company.

Especially in this way, the money earned by the shops step by step from the jewelry business is not as fast as the quick-acting way of getting rich like betting on stones.After watching her shop slowly get on track, at the end of the month, Ningxia wanted to hand over the detailed ledgers and tax declarations that bothered Tang Jing to Tang Jing. He was an expert in this regard.

At the beginning, that guy Tang Jing heard Ning Xia assign him a task, his head shook, and he said that he felt that his blood pressure had risen recently. The person who died immediately and didn't wear mourning for him will not be reduced to Ningxia to take care of his affairs by then, so Ningxia will be troubled.
