Chapter 69 Going to the Ghost City
Yi felt very pleased. After experiencing this storm, Song Shibo changed.
Song Shibo also had to find another way out for his son who had lost his job. It was impossible to go back to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the remaining options were limited. The most feasible thing was to go into business.
Song Yi mentioned at the right time that he had pulled several carts of jadeite materials from Yunnan and returned to the East China Sea. Seeing that Song Mingjie and Su Yalan didn’t understand what he had bought so many ordinary jades and did. Song Yi explained to them, “I think these jadeite materials are very cheap now. I thought that although they are not very valuable now, they should become the mainstream of the market in the future. After all, there are not many people who can afford jadeite of color and good color. The average grade of jadeite can be accepted by ordinary consumers. Especially in our country’s economy is developing very fast, people are getting richer, and the jewelry and jade market will usher in real prosperity. Now this momentum has come out!”
Su Yalan didn't know much about the market and asked him how much it cost to buy these cars of stones. Song Yi smiled and said, "There are ten cars in total, and each car is only less than 200,000 yuan."
Su Yalan felt a little distressed when she heard this, and couldn't help but blame him softly and said, "Xiaoyi, you're still too hasty to make a decision! No matter how rich and so big a flower, it won't take long!"
Song Yi smiled and said, "Mom, you said it wrong. This is not spending money randomly, this is investment!"
Song Shibo interrupted at this time, "Jade is not good in quality and water, but it is quite good as jewelry. If it is processed and sold, there is a certain market. Judging from the development of the region over the years, both the jewelry and the antique market are constantly heating up."
Song Yixin said that what he remembers most is that the price of cultural relics purchased by the museum is also rising!
With Song Shibo's approval, Su Yalan was the first to raise her hand to express her approval. From her simple point of view, "These two million things cannot be wasted like this! I think Xiaoyi's idea is good. Fuxiang Yinlou has opened several more branches this year."
He Yufen also accepted Song Yi's gift. She also agreed with Song Yi's idea. According to her ideas, it would be even better if she could build a company that was as famous as the century-old store Fuxiang Yinlou.
Song Mingjie naturally knew that women loved jewelry. Even middle-aged women like Su Yalan were exceptional. What else could he say at this time?
It is naturally not the turn of Song Yi to worry about the matters such as registering and establishing a company. But he still enthusiastically helped out with advice and proposed a diversified business strategy. He said that the company's business direction is not necessarily the only one with jewelry. Song Mingjie should not give up his expertise. Hetian jade and other series of things that are not often sold as jewelry but have great appreciation potential should also be acquired early.
Song Yi knew very well in his heart. Just like jade, the value of Hetian jade has not been truly revealed yet.
As the mechanization of Hetian jade mining accelerates, the mining teams of large and small areas not only fragment the river channel, but also make it increasingly difficult to find good materials for Hetian jade. In addition, more and more people flock to the Hetian jade market. As soon as there are more people, the price will naturally rise. After 2000, the price of Hetian jade has increased by hundreds of times compared to now.
It would be fine if you have such a high price. In the market, if you pay a high price, you may not be able to buy real Hetian jade.
Therefore, identifying Hetian jade has become the first thing for collectors to do. In later generations, the main places for selling Hetian jade are Russian jade and Qinghai jade.
But at this time, Hetian jade had not really become popular, and Russian jade and Qinghai jade, which pretended to be Hetian, did not rise with the rise. For Song Yi, this was an excellent opportunity to buy at the bottom. No matter what market it is in, seizing the opportunity is definitely the first priority.
As for those precious antiques and cultural relics, Song Yi doesn’t need to remind him that as long as he has money in his hand, Song Mingjie will invite them home. In the past, he looked at many good things he liked, but he just didn’t have the money to buy them. And at that time, he had to consider Song Shibo’s opinions, but now it’s different.
This matter is not in a hurry. Song Mingjie has time to prepare. It is not as easy as he imagined to run a jewelry and jade company. It is impossible to handle any aspect of the supply, store, manpower, and sales channels.
But for Song Yi, it would be enough to set the general direction first. Song Mingjie is not a stupid person. Not to mention that he has advanced vision, he is still very clear about what is worth collecting and what has the potential for appreciation.
After dealing with these things, Song Yi was still in a state of excitement. Since his rebirth, his energy has become particularly vigorous. He doesn't have to sleep for seven or eight hours at night, and he is still energetic the next day, which is a world of difference from the 17 or 18-year-old boy who was sleeping extravagantly in the past.
Song Yi couldn't figure out whether this was because he had two mental powers after rebirth, but he didn't want to pursue it too much, because for him, being energetic is a good thing. Just sleep for three or four hours a day, and how good it is to spend other time doing things!
Of course, excessive energy also has side effects. The most obvious thing is that you will hold the ball up every morning when you wake up. For Song Yi, who was in a youthful youth, this is also normal. Although he is mentally mature, his physiological reaction is not the same as his.
After returning to the room to practice writing, Song Yi, who was unable to rest, began to draw jewelry design drawings on paper and clearly outlined the design drawings. In the future, most of the inlaying and other tasks were left to experienced masters to do. Writing and drawing would prevent him from getting tired of it.
Su Yalan reminded him that it was time to sleep, but he had just lie in bed for a while, but he woke up automatically at 1:30 in the morning.
Thinking that there were still many fine jades in hand that were not processed, Song Yi took this opportunity to work overtime in the studio. Anyway, these things will be made in the future, so he was not relieved to hand them over to others to process them.
Song Yi grinded out the two ring faces in one breath, and was relieved and stretched his waist to polish the next step. He suddenly remembered that it was Saturday, and it was the day of the "Ghost Market" in Donghai City. Looking at the time, it was already 3:40 in the morning. Song Yi quickly packed up his things and patted the dust on his clothes, and left the studio.
When Song Yi was going upstairs, he heard a sound coming from him, so he stopped and changed direction and pretended to go downstairs. Sure enough, Song Shibo saw his neatly dressed, thinking he had just gotten up, "Xiao Yi got up so early!"
Song Yi hurriedly replied, "I have been busy for a while and haven't been to the ghost market. I thought it was the weekend, so I wanted to go to the ghost market to have a look!"
"Okay, let's go together later!" Song Shibo nodded with praise in his eyes.
