102. Chapter 102 Jade Master
the next day!
Ding Xiaobu waited at the airport early in the morning according to the time given by Kong Qingbin yesterday, and there was no Kou Sijie around him.
Today the two of them went out together to show respect for each other.
The main reason is that there are fewer and fewer masters in the jade processing industry, and it is hard to find a lot of money. That's why the two of them acted like this.
At this time, the sound of the Hong Kong plane arriving was heard in the airport hall, and the two people quickly got up and walked to the exit.
The young woman couldn't help but beat the drum a little, "Brother Xiaobu, what will happen to this person you mentioned? Kong Qingbin is already in his forties, and his master must be very old. Everyone in Hong Kong speaks Cantonese, you can
I don’t speak Cantonese, so communication will definitely be a problem.”
Ding Xiaobu shook his hand and said with a smile: "These are not problems, as long as his skills are good and our products can be sold at a good price."
"That's true."
The young woman understood this truth, but her natural caution was at work. She couldn't help but sigh, and held up the prepared note with the other party's name on it at the exit of the plane.
Not long after, a short, white-haired old man with a wrinkled face and good energy walked out of the exit of the plane. The old man also saw Ding Xiaobu and the others, and hurriedly dragged his luggage over.
As soon as he spoke, he spoke in standard Taiwanese Mandarin, "You are Mr. Ding Xiaobu, right?"
This time, Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie were in a daze. They nodded quickly, "Yeah, um, I am, this is the boss of our Yubaozhai, Kou Sijie."
The young woman quickly put away the note and shook hands with the old man, "Mr. Chen?"
"Um."
Chen Lao laughed and noticed the curiosity of the two people, and quickly introduced: "I am a genuine Hong Konger and an old man from Xu Jiafu. I only learned Mandarin after I came to the mainland when I was young and was sent to work in Taiwan.
, I’m getting old, but I’ve put it to use.”
Ding Xiaobu and the young woman were naturally happy and nodded quickly, "That's good. It's easy to communicate."
Mr. Chen couldn't help laughing.
Ding Xiaobu took his luggage and started walking outside the airport with the crowd.
On the way, Mr. Chen said: "I heard from my apprentice that Mr. Xiao Ding is a capable and courageous man. We are still friends with you, so let's not see each other outside. Of course, if you agree to me, you can
If you can do it, give me the green patch."
"This is no problem."
Ding Xiaobu heard what Kong Qingbin said that his master had a bad temper. He didn't show it when they first met, but it showed now. He couldn't help but smile politely, "When we get to the store, I will give everything to you, and you can figure it out."
"
Ding Xiaobu still understands that people who trust him should not be doubted, and people who are suspicious should not be trusted. Now that he has invited Mr. Chen, it would be meaningless if he could not trust him.
Seeing that Ding Xiaobu trusted him so much, Mr. Chen felt naturally comfortable and nodded happily.
Afterwards, Kou Sijie drove the two of them back to Yubaozhai.
Before he entered the door, Mr. Chen suddenly looked at the plaque and spoke, "I have been here before, probably in the early 1990s. I followed my master here. I remember clearly that at that time, this place was bustling with people, and there were many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Merchants all come here.
I had forgotten the name of the boss and the store because I traveled too many places in the South back then, but now I see it has not changed at all."
It turns out he is an old friend, which makes him even more friendly!
Kou Sijie quickly introduced: "In the early 1990s, Yubaozhai was the most prosperous time. Later, my father-in-law and my husband passed away one after another, and it became what it is now, which makes you laugh."
"It's very rare for a woman like you to be able to make a fortune without letting this old shop go to waste." Mr. Chen seemed a little emotional when he visited his hometown again. He thought of a lot of things, so he took a good look at it a few more times before continuing.
Let Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie go in.
At this time, Yuan Lu was playing on the computer. Seeing the three people coming in, she quickly got up and poured tea, and then stood obediently next to Ding Xiaobu.
Ding Xiaobu took out the jade stones that he had prepared in advance and the emerald greens hidden in the backyard, and placed them on the table. They were so dazzling and jewel-like that they pierced the eyeballs.
"They are all good stuff."
Old Chen's eyesight was failing, so he took out his flower glasses from his pocket and took a look. Especially when he saw the emerald green one, he was so excited that he quickly reached out and took it out. He carefully looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sure enough,
It’s full of green and so big, it’s really rare to see it.”
Switch your left hand to your right hand, play with it seriously, and become an absolute jade addict.
Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie didn't bother them. After he finished reading, they said: "This area is full of green. We plan to make it a treasure of the store. Since you are already here, don't worry. You can see what can be done."
As for these small items, we have to do them now, time is a bit tight."
"That's easy to say."
Mr. Chen has been making small items all his life. As soon as he touched it, he knew what to make. He also felt excited. Without taking a closer look, he made a guarantee and said: "Ten items like this a day, Xu Jiafu's rule, I'm used to it."
Mr. Ding, do you think it’s okay?”
"Of course this will work."
Ding Xiaobu made a total of two million pieces, less than three hundred jade stones. When he said that it took more than a month, he couldn't help but admire him, "Mr. Chen, don't be too tired, we are
For long-term cooperation, it’s okay to take your time.”
"Mr. Xiao Ding, don't worry, Lao Chen, I've been making jade all my life, so I'm sure of it."
Lao Chen still had a soft spot for the green one. He couldn't help but pick it up and play with it for a while before saying: "I forgot to mention that I have an apprentice, who is considered my close disciple. In Malaysia, he can't do well, but it's just right.
Take this opportunity to call him to my side and help me. As for the salary, you can pay it as you see."
Ding Xiaobu's business is not big now. For someone of Mr. Chen's level, one person is actually enough. But since he said so and he is still his close disciple, he thought for a while and said: "Well, you are
How about a monthly salary of 200,000 RMB, a discount of 100,000 RMB for your apprentice?"
"make a deal."
Mr. Chen laughed, stood up, shook hands with Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie, and said with some embarrassment: "It's really troublesome for you to put up conditions when you first come here, but I can guarantee that my apprentice's craftsmanship is definitely good, but he's just unlucky.
, that’s why it’s reduced to what it is now.”
"It's nothing! As long as Mr. Chen can help us with peace of mind, everything will be easy to discuss!" Ding Xiaobu told the truth, and he didn't make any mistakes. Especially for his batch of goods, if they are done well, he can make money by just selling them.
One or two times, naturally it won't be short of the 100,000 yuan.
In addition, the channels in Myanmar have been opened up. If we take care of these two people, we will naturally have a lot of money in the future.
Mr. Chen still smiled politely, and then talked about his little habits while working, "When I was in Xu Jiafu, Hong Kong, I used to bring things home to make them for convenience, simplicity and comfort. Let me see you here
The place is not too big, and I don’t feel comfortable here, so I hope you can rent me a house. Of course, I will pay the rent.
I love raising dogs. It's very troublesome in Hong Kong. It should be easier when I get to Shanghai, but I'd better rent a private house with a separate courtyard to feel comfortable. It's best to have flowers and grass, near the suburbs.
Of course, I won't take yours, which is almost full of green. I mean these small items, if you don't worry, if you arrange them like this, you can do Lao Chen a favor. "
"This, is not good."
Ding Xiaobu's original intention was to find a place nearby to rent him a room so that he could go back and forth more conveniently. But when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "The weather is about to get colder now. It's hard to go back and forth in the suburbs."
It’s too troublesome. Otherwise, let’s rent a house nearby and you can raise a dog, which is more convenient.”
Mr. Chen quickly shook his head and said: "I'm tired of living in a building in Hong Kong. I came to the mainland just to rent a private house with a private courtyard and feel comfortable. You must help me."
This is what he really thought before coming here. Those who can live in a single-family house in Hong Kong are either rich or noble. Moreover, he raises large dogs, which are already very annoying in Hong Kong. When he comes to the mainland to raise them, he just wants to find a yard.
.
Ding Xiaobu unfortunately refused, and besides, people came all the way to seek refuge with him, so he should be defeated if he helped him, so he nodded and agreed. But in order to protect the God of Wealth, he still said: "In this case
, it’s not impossible, it’s just that it’s too troublesome for you to go back and forth. Why don’t you bring all the parts to you, and we will pick them up regularly. If you have any needs, call us and we will bring them to you. What do you think?
.”
"Of course that's good."
Mr. Chen laughed and took a sip of tea, "The old man really enjoys his old age and has come to the mainland to take care of himself." There was another burst of laughter.
It gets late after that.
Mr. Chen stood up again and said: "Let's hurry up and not be late. Since we're already here, let's go and rent a house for me quickly so that I don't affect the business again. Besides, I haven't worked for a long time and I just want to practice my skills.
Don't delay your business."
"Mr. Chen, please have some tea first. You'll be fine. There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Ding Xiaobu, Kou Sijie, and Yuan Lu next to them were all speechless. The old man must have been too anxious. But his work style impressed several people.
Mr. Chen couldn't help but shook his head and said: "You don't know, I almost went crazy in Hong Kong. Now that I finally have something to do, naturally I don't want to stay here."
Ding Xiaobu also understood that this man was naturally restless and had a short temper, so his wish came true, "Okay, Mr. Chen, we will take you to find a house right now, and we will take care of you then."
